Yukang Ville, in a magnificent hall. The leader of the Yellow Gang, Shen Lingwan, walked into a secret door.

He walked along the stone stairs all the way to the lowest level of the secret room. He saw a black-robed man standing in front of a bookshelf with his back facing him.

Can you change your position? Every time I come, you always act like an expert with your back facing me. Im tired of watching you if youre not sick of it.

The black-robed man laughed after hearing that. Xue Qiu, youre really becoming more and more arrogant. Im your superior! How dare you talk to me like that?

Sigh, its the same conversation again. If you dont like me, just stab me to death. Im tired of living anyway.

The black-robed man let out a long sigh after hearing that. He turned his head and said, I say, cant you cooperate with me just once? Every time I see you, I get angry!

You get angry with me just once, but what about me? I get angry every day, and nobody cares.

Youre angry!? Do you know how many people want your life after you messed up this mission?

Let them come. I still say the same thing. Im tired of living.

You! Seeing that the hard way was not enough, the black-robed man could only use the soft way. The Imperial Court also knows that youre tired and you have suffered. But arent we all the same? Weve been working hard to overthrow the righteous sect and the demonic cult. Weve been working hard for so long and were about to reap the fruits of victory. You cant just quit now.

I quit?! Xue Qiu pointed at himself and shouted, Do you know how much effort I put in to get three superior mystic practitioners to sneak into the demonic cult? Three superior mystic practitioners who are willing to give up their lives! If you have the ability, why dont you do it yourself? And you say that I quit?! Dont be agitated. I know that you been through a lot, and I know that you are very outstanding. But the truth is that the mission has indeed failed. That was a chance that we have finally caught.

Its not like Im the one who made the mission fail. A superior mystic practitioner couldnt kill a qi refining realm disciple with a single palm strike. Do you know how ridiculous it is? Its like the heavens not allowing us to succeed. Do you understand? Sigh, this matter is a little strange. I even suspect that theres a mole among us that caused this kind of mistake.

Then have you found out who the mole is? If I did, why would I come here to you to interrogate you? Sigh, its a huge blow to us. The higher-ups are in a mess.

Who wouldnt be upset when encountering this kind of absurd situation? Xue Qiu said as he took out a purple bamboo pipe from his pocket and placed it to his mouth to light it up.

After taking a deep puff, Xue Qiu passed the pipe to the black-robed man.

I dont smoke. The black-robed man shook his head and spoke.

Just take a puff. Its really good.

Tsk, I cant believe you still have the mood to smoke. The black-robed man took the pipe and took a puff as he spoke.

Hu

After spitting out a cloud of smoke, the black-robed man calmed down a little and asked again, Also, whats going on with your Yellow Gang? Why is it getting more and more inactive recently? Didnt I tell you to make some trouble?

Make trouble my a*s! Xue Qiu spat on the ground, Didnt I report it to you last time? That third young master of the Church of Blood Inferno came to my territory. He even went around looking for trouble with our gang. How could I dare to mess with him?

Didnt the Palace of Killing say that they would help you get rid of him?

Get rid of my a*s! The Palace of Killing really knew how to put on a show. They even issued a death order saying that they were sending their gold-ranked killers. However, they were nowhere to be found now. Once this matter is out, no one dares to touch him anymore. Clearly, there are experts protecting him.

In addition, the attitude of Church of Blood Inferno has always been vague. I thought that we would be able to succeed at the Gathering of Young Heroes soon anyway, so I didnt want to provoke him anymore. Wouldnt this make that kid even more arrogant? He even picked on several of my strongholds. D*mn it! I wonder what this Li Cangtian is trying to do. He send a son to threaten me!

Sigh. I know what to do. When I go back, I will find someone to help you deal with it.

After saying that, the black-robed man returned the pipe to Xue Qiu.

After taking back the pipe, Xue Qiu took another deep puff. He exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, Every time, you always say youll help me deal with it. But in the end, its still me who has to clean up my own mess! I really cant do this d*mn job anymore. When will you let me go back?

Just hang in there. Itll be over soon.

Oh, shut up! When I was first sent by you to be a spy in the demonic cult, you said that I would work for three years, but guess what!? Another three years passed, then another three, three years later, three years later! I used to be an errand boy in the cult. Now that Ive become the cult leader, you still want me to hold on! Do you want me to unify the demonic

cults?

Aiya, its not easy for everyone. Dont keep complaining. Were all risking our own lives. Its not easy for me either.

Sigh, what are the Imperial Courts next steps?

Im going to contact Yongzhou again to see if we can cooperate.

Humph, how can there be any good people in Yongzhou? After cooperating with the higher-ups, do they still think they can live? Theres nothing we can do about it. Dont worry. The higher-ups wont let anyone take advantage of them. They have made several preparations to cooperate with Yongzhou. In short, you should manage the Yellow Gang well. By then, the Imperial Court will still be of great use.

Sigh, its the same d*mn sentence again. I feel terrible when I hear it. Is there anything else?

Yes, the Imperial Court wants you to think of a way to expand the influence of the Yellow Gang to Riversouth.
