Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 624: Chapter 321: The Entire City is Shaken

A moment later, Lin Changfeng arrived at the Supreme Profound Gang.

The Supreme Profound Gang’s patrols were much tighter, and its members looked tense, on high alert. But in Lin Changfeng’s eyes, these Qi Cultivation Stage gang members were no different from ants.

Using the same methods, he slipped in as if it were completely unguarded.

Inside the same meeting hall, the Supreme Profound Gang’s Gang Leader and Vice Gang Leader were discussing important matters with four Elders. They weren’t paying much attention to the bounty on an old man.

In their view, for anyone to make a move against them within Zi’an County, they would have to be a Golden Core Cultivator willing to risk being hunted down and captured by the Carefree Immortal Sect.

As a result, just as they were discussing the profits from this month’s Spirit Stone loans, a black mist suddenly surged in from all directions, instantly enveloping them.

The six were terrified, horrified to find they had no power to resist. A moment later, six headless bodies lay strewn across the floor, and the Black Skull vanished after swallowing three of the heads.

However, the sound of the bodies slumping to the floor in the meeting hall attracted the attention of the disciples on patrol outside. A patrol team rushed over immediately.

They arrived to see six corpses. In an instant, the faces of the three patrol disciples turned deathly pale.

"The Gang Leader is dead!"

Following that furious cry, the Supreme Profound Gang descended into chaos. Lin Changfeng, meanwhile, had already slipped away as if he had never been there.

In the courtyard of a house in the North District, the Black Skull transformed back into Lin Changfeng himself.

He placed the freshly harvested heads into a Storage Pouch, then found one of his subordinates hiding in the shadows. He handed the Storage Pouch and the Mission Token to the young man and said:

"Go now, before this blows up. Follow the plan. Be quick."

The young man, a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator of about thirty, immediately clasped his hands and said, "Yes, my lord!"

The young man understood the gravity of the matter and dared not delay for even a moment. He sprinted all the way to the Sect’s administrative office.

Soon, he arrived at the mission bounty area and handed over the Storage Pouch. The Sect Disciple on duty was different from before and didn’t know who had accepted the mission. As far as the Sect was concerned, as long as the mission items and the Mission Token were present, the bounty could be claimed.

As expected, when this Sect Disciple saw the mission details and the nine heads inside the Storage Pouch, he stared at the young man in shock.

He sensed the man was only a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator and could not possibly possess such skills. ’The only explanation is that the person backing him made the move,’ he reasoned. ’They must be worried about the Sect holding them accountable, so they sent a proxy to collect the reward.’

This was within the Sect’s rules, as the person before him wasn’t causing trouble. Thus, after confirming everything according to procedure, he handed the bounty reward to the young man, along with the deposited Spirit Stones.

The young man took the items and left swiftly.

At that moment, back in the mission hall, the crowd that had been keeping an eye on this particular bounty erupted.

The Two-Star Five Spirit Level mission on the bounty board had actually turned from red to green, meaning it was complete!

"What? Someone actually completed that mission!" a burly, bearded man exclaimed in shock.

"And so quickly, too! The mission was posted this afternoon, and by tonight, all the leaders of the three major gangs have been killed. Who in the world could have done this?"

A young Cultivator in green robes frowned, his face a mask of disbelief and horror.

To kill nine people so quickly within Zi’an County, and inside their own gang headquarters no less... there was only one possibility—a Golden Core Cultivator had made a move!

"No, that’s not right. If they fought, why was the North District so quiet? Those leaders were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators. At the very least, they should have been able to exchange a blow or two with a Golden Core Cultivator and cause a huge commotion, right?"

After the young man left, the Sect Disciple who had just processed the mission quickly sent out a message.

’Whether they did it for the mission or not, killing people within Zi’an County is a direct challenge to the Immortal Sect’s rules!’

Upon receiving the news, some of the city’s patrol squads rushed to the headquarters of the three major gangs, their faces grim.

One of these squads had just finished patrolling from the North District to the West District. They hadn’t seen any signs of a fight.

But then they heard the news: the leaders of the Supreme Profound Gang, the Wind and Thunder Gang, and the Medicine King Gang, who had bounties placed on them in the afternoon, had all been beheaded by nightfall!

When they arrived at the Wind and Thunder Gang first, they found everything to be normal, with no signs of a struggle.

The captain leading the squad immediately asked the gang guard at the gate, "Where is your Gang Leader? Did anything happen just now?"

The guard at the gate recognized the patrol squad that had passed by not long ago. He asked, confused, "Our Gang Leader should be in the rear courtyard discussing matters. Captain Zhang, is something important going on?"

Hearing this, the patrol captain’s expression tightened, and he instantly extended his Divine Sense.

"Dammit! Go!" The next moment, the captain’s face fell. He shoved the guard aside and shot toward the rear courtyard like a streak of light. Seeing this, the rest of his team hurried to follow.

Now the guards at the gate realized something was wrong and immediately called for others to follow.

Arriving at the rear courtyard, the captain saw seven corpses sitting quietly in their chairs. His face grim, he slowly entered the hall.

The gang members who followed close behind saw the scene in the hall, and their expressions changed drastically, as if the sky had fallen. Their eyes widened, faces filled with a mixture of disbelief, fear, and rage.

"Don’t let them in!" the captain barked. Several of his team members quickly moved to block the gang disciples. The disciples didn’t dare act rashly, but their faces were contorted with overwhelming fury, their eyes fixed on the gruesome scene inside the hall.
