Chapter 1309: Chapter 53: Heavenly King Flute [2-in-1]
The Night Emperor, upon receiving the message, frowned slightly.
Although his older brother is known as the world’s number one thief, his actual martial power is by no means low!
There aren’t many in this world who could make him say such things.
It seems this time the danger is real.
Immediate reply: "I’m on my way."
With a swish, the figure in black transformed into the night fog and disappeared.
...
Fang Che and the others entered Hongyun Restaurant. With a sweep of their Divine Sense, they had already locked onto "Duan Erpi’s" location.
He was in a private room, accompanied by several others, chatting and joking while waiting for their meal.
"Five people." Dongyun Yu transmitted through sound.
"Three at the Emperor Level." Mo Gan Yun transmitted through sound.
"Duan Erpi is one of them." Fang Che transmitted through sound.
"The other two are at the Monarch Level. Their aura is quite difficult to capture." Yu Zhongge transmitted through sound.
"What should we do? Capture them all or..."
"Withdraw your Divine Sense slowly, I’ll continue to listen." Fang Che remained expressionless.
Among them, his Divine Sense was the most steady; although Yu Zhongge and the others were far superior to their peers, compared to Fang Che, they were slightly lacking. Any slight fluctuation could lead to being discovered.
However, Fang Che wasn’t worried about this at all.
Merely Monarch Level... being able to detect my Divine Sense as a Sixth Rank Emperor Level expert?
It’s not that I’m underestimating them, it’s completely impossible!
Divine Sense locked, eavesdropping.
Meanwhile, Mo Gan Yun and the others began creating sound waves, engaging in loud discussions about Jianghu anecdotes, stories of predecessors, various rumors, absurd and bizarre...
Duan Erpi at Duan Tang was in another room, feeling somewhat uneasy.
His face showed calmness, quietly transmitting.
"Elder, why choose this place specifically for the meeting this time? It’s too dangerous, and it’s deliberately timed to confront Fang Tu during his meal... What is this all about?"
"During this period, our Qinglong Gang has been slaughtered into a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, everyone is emotionally stirred, the Gang Leader and others are barely holding on, people are crying every day, especially those who lost family members, even more so... Sigh, the whole valley is filled with cries. Such pressure is truly not small."
The elder sighed lightly: "Though the valley is shrouded in formation, still people are too concentrated, the Gang Leader comes out for fresh air every day, only to be swarmed by people demanding revenge."
"Especially... they communicate daily with family still outside. If there’s a reply, it proves they aren’t dead yet; suddenly no reply usually means they’ve been captured or killed."
"Almost every family has deceased members. Such deep hatred has driven many close to madness."
The elder sighed helplessly: "So, the Gang Leader cannot endure, even if revenge is impossible, a posture must be shown, otherwise..."
Duan Tang fell silent.
As a former leader, he understood this kind of bottom-level emotion very well; when it accumulates enough, it must be relieved.
Because, once it explodes, internal strife arises at such times.
Even if you could kill all the internal strife participants, the status would be unjustified: families sacrificed for Qinglong Gang’s business and demand revenge, what’s wrong with that?
Would you kill those demanding revenge for that?
Then what’s the point of being the Gang Leader?
Therefore, facing such situations, mere suppression is absolutely unfeasible. Because these people below are networking with each other every single moment.
Conspiring secretly.
At night, it seems like underground activity, gathering in twos and threes, whispering.
Perhaps their conspiracy is just venting grievances, but... if ignored, it will cause problems, that’s certain.
But while understanding is understanding.
Duan Tang still couldn’t fathom, because the one taking the risk... is me! Why don’t you guys come out yourselves?
Pushing me out as the scapegoat to probe enemy affairs? I know you’re angry, you want revenge, but... what is this pushing me out about??
"You don’t need to worry."
The elder comforted: "Firstly, this time is merely a posture, luring Fang Tu into a trap, as soon as they act, we’ll create chaos with full force, killing more people! In one aspect, it’s mere intimidation and relief."
"Secondly, if indeed there’s an opportunity, even eliminating one or two from the Life and Death Patrol isn’t impossible."
Duan Tang shook his head repeatedly: "This group is powerful, with our current strength, it’s absolutely impossible to kill! Forgive my bluntness, even survival is a luxury."
He sighed, speaking full of despair: "Frankly speaking, I’ve already written my last will before coming out this time."
The two elders were astonished.
A last will...
This Hall Master has indeed been pessimistic.
"You don’t know."
The elder felt necessary to console Master Duan Tang, transmitting: "This time, it seems we’re passively beaten, but Southeast Headquarters led by Young Master Feng Yun has long considered an overall plan. How could they let us be slaughtered like this?"
"Didn’t you notice that currently, the captured or killed are primarily those at the bottom, not important ones?"
The elder spoke solemnly: "Above Hall Master level’s high-ranking officials have super experts sent by Young Master protecting them secretly, as soon as anyone’s in danger, they immediately rescue."
Duan Tang half-believing: "Really?"
"How could this be false?"
The elder earnestly transmitted: "Including this action, we also have people behind us. If Life and Death Team takes no action against us, doesn’t detect us, we instead must act proactively, waiting for an assassination opportunity - in other words, no matter what, we must make a move. If indeed experts target us, and we really can’t withstand... then the Southeast Headquarters experts will intervene and rescue us all."
