The night deepened. Other than Qingyun Street, Tianmaji, which usually never sleeps, had long fallen into silence. However, Beiyan Hall, which was three blocks away from Qingyun Street, was still brightly lit. Gan Xiumei sat in the front hall. Even though she tried her best to appear calm, the anxiety that occasionally flashed in her eyes betrayed her true emotions.
Wei Chunfeng and Wei Xiangnan had not rested either. They sat next to Gan Xiumei. The difference was that Wei Chunfeng, the young master, was yawning with an impatient expression while Wei Xiangnan had his head lowered and his index fingers twirled together as if waiting for something, as if he was anxious about something.
Crack …
At this moment, the door to the front hall was pushed open. Li Qing, the short and fat man, walked in. Seeing this, Gan Xiumei stood up abruptly and said, "How is it? Any news of Wang Yan? "
Li Qing shook his head and said, "No. I've followed the elder's orders and sent out a few halls and even the brothers of Nanhe Society. I've searched through all of Tianmaji but I still can't find young hero Wang."
Hearing this, Gan Xiumei sat down in a daze. Beside her, Wei Chunfeng saw this and said, "Could it be that Wang Yan has already left Tianmaji?"
Wei Chunfeng had improved a little. At least he did not mock Wang Yan right away. However, his words were still belittling Wang Yan. Gan Xiumei shook her head. She was experienced in the jianghu and knew very well what Wang Yan had said in the afternoon. In the afternoon, he had gathered people to create the situation in front of Clouds Returning Tower. If he really slipped away quietly like this, even if Wang Yan was a disciple of a famous sect, he would still be the laughing stock of the world. At least in the northern part of Nanyue State, he would no longer be able to face anyone. Even though she did not know Wang Yan well, Gan Xiumei did not believe that Wang Yan was such an unwise person.
Li Qing also did not believe that Wang Yan would slip away quietly. However, the current situation was indeed bad. His lips parted and he finally said, "There's been a change in the situation at Clouds Returning Tower."
When Gan Xiumei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "Did Gao Renfeng make a move?"
Li Qing nodded and said, "It's been too long. Four to six hours have passed since nightfall. Those fugitives don't have much patience. Seeing that Wang Yan hasn't shown up yet, some of them have started to talk nonsense, encouraging us to disband."
"This must be Gao Renfeng's doing. His Green Skin Society also has familiar bandits in this South River Valley. In the beginning, when that group of people had just gathered and their momentum was at its peak, Gao Renfeng went into hiding. As time passed, when many people grew impatient and restless, he let familiar bandits sneak in and spread some strange rumors about Wang Yan's quiet escape. It's really possible that the stage that Wang Yan built with his own hands will be torn down."
Gao Renfeng was the middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache. He was also the eldest disciple of the Cold Moon Sect's Elder Yun. This person's strength was extraordinary, and his mind was even more meticulous. He was good at strategizing and could be said to be well-versed in both the pen and the sword. Although he still did not have a title, many people in the Jianghu already called him "Military Advisor". Military Advisor referred to his intelligence. If this person's strength improved a little, he would not be far from becoming a titled expert.
Gan Xiumei had some understanding of Gao Renfeng. She also knew that in this round, Gao Renfeng was one of Wang Yan's real opponents. If Gao Renfeng really took advantage of the situation to tear down Wang Yan's stage, even if Wang Yan showed up later, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around. After tonight, it would be extremely difficult for him to build up his momentum again. By then, forget about taking Returning Cloud Tower, even Qi Xiangshan would be protected by Gao Renfeng. Wang Yan's words would turn into a joke. More importantly, Gan Xiumei's plan would be in vain.
Hearing that the situation had changed, Wei Chunfeng could not help but lower his head and chuckle. Then, he could not help but say, "This Wang Yan only knows how to brag, but he didn't show up at the crucial moment. If he does this, it will be a small matter if his reputation is ruined, but I'm afraid he will implicate our Yunma School. Maybe people outside will say that granny has a bad eye for people …"
"Enough!"
Gan Xiumei shouted impatiently and interrupted Wei Chunfeng's words. She did not believe that Wang Yan would slip away quietly, but she was afraid that Wang Yan might have some plans of his own, but something went wrong along the way.
"Go and investigate again. Not only Tianmaji, send some people out of the town to look for him. I want to see him alive, and if he's dead, I want to see his corpse."
Gan Xiumei was unwilling to give up. She knew that this was her only chance to take Returning Cloud Tower. If the Black Knife Gang recovered and waited for Wu Tianliang to return to the gang, with Gao Renfeng's wisdom, unless Yunma School, the Black Water thief, and the Cold Moon Sect shed all pretense of cordiality, she would never be able to take Returning Cloud Tower. She could not even kill Qi Xiangshan. She would never be able to endure such a situation.
"Yes."
Li Qing cupped his hands and accepted the order. Then, he turned around and was about to leave. However, when he opened the door, he saw a figure rushing in from the outside. Before the person arrived, he shouted, "It's here, it's here!"
Li Qing's heart skipped a beat. He quickly went forward and said, "What's here?!"
"Young Hero Wang has appeared!"
Hearing this, Li Qing was overjoyed. He immediately welcomed the person into the hall and said, "Tell me in detail."
Gan Xiumei also heard the movement outside the hall. She immediately stood up and walked over. When the person saw Gan Xiumei, he immediately saluted, but Gan Xiumei waved her hand and said, "What time is it?! Tell me quickly! "
Hearing Gan Xiumei's shout, the person did not dare to salute anymore. He immediately said, "Young Hero Wang rode a horse from outside the town and galloped all the way to Qingyun Street. He walked too fast, and there were no lights on the road. I only saw a few heads hanging in front of Young Hero Wang's horse. I don't know who they belonged to, but I clearly saw the head in Young Hero Wang's hand. It belonged to the leader of the Black Knife Gang, Wu Tianliang."
"What!"
Hearing this person's words, everyone in the hall was shocked. Li Qing involuntarily murmured, "I didn't expect … I didn't expect Young Hero Wang to do such a big thing. In this way, isn't the Black Knife Gang about to be destroyed?"
"I understand, I understand all of it!"
Gan Xiumei muttered to herself in shock. However, she quickly regained her composure and said, "Quick, bring me that top-grade Elemental Rest Grass. I will immediately deliver it to Wang Yan, no, Young Hero Wang, personally!"
After saying this, Gan Xiumei felt that this move was not enough. She added, "Immediately mobilize all the silver in the hall. We must gather ten thousand taels of gold in the shortest time possible. Quickly, quickly, quickly!"
The three words "quickly" expressed Gan Xiumei's eagerness. Immediately, Li Qing did not dare to delay and hurriedly left with the messenger. Looking at Li Qing's departing figure, Gan Xiumei's gaze followed him into the distance. It was as if her gaze had pierced through the night curtain and landed on Qingyun Street. She could not help but reveal a smile on her face. Then, her smile became wider and wider. In the end, she could not help but laugh out loud. "This old one's move is really correct. After this matter …"
Gan Xiumei did not finish her sentence. But she knew that if she could stabilize the gang's foundation in Tianmaji, then take back Yunlou, or even sweep away the Black Water thief's influence in Tianmaji, then her position in Yunma School would be greatly improved. At that time, if she could get Wang Yan to help her …
Gan Xiumei could not help but turn her head to look at Wei Chunfeng. As she shook her head slightly, she had already made a decision in her heart.
.....
"It's finally here!"
In a restaurant not far from Guiyun Building, Li Jiuhong, who was about to doze off, finally stood up. This night, he also witnessed the changes of the situation on Qingyun Street. From the beginning when the crowd gathered, it seemed that they wanted to swallow Guiyun Building alive. Then, some people gradually became impatient, and now, a few people quietly left. Seeing that the stage was about to collapse, Li Jiuhong knew that if Wang Yan did not show up, today's game would be completely hopeless. If he had not received the deposit from Wang Yan, he was afraid that he would have already left.
As Li Jiuhong stood up, not far from him, Lin Tianyang and the master of Yuncheng Stage with half an iron mask also stood up one after another. Then, the three groups of people left the restaurant one after another and went to the street.
Moments later, Wang Yan's figure finally appeared before the crowd's eyes. They saw him riding on a tall horse, with a sword in his left hand and a human head in his right. The horse trotted briskly as it gradually brought him closer to Qingyun Street. Behind Wang Yan, there were dozens of people following closely. They were the desperadoes who had left and returned.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the field knew that the situation had changed again. Those who were quick-witted looked at the head in Wang Yan's hand. Then, there was a sound of gasping in the field!
"It's actually Wu Tianliang's head. The leader of the Black Knife Gang has already died in the hands of Wang Yan!"
"Not only Wu Tianliang, look at the three heads next to the horse's head. Wu Feng, Zuo Daosi, Yan Qingshan, and Wang Yan actually beheaded these people one by one with their own strength. This kind of strength is simply incredible!"
"In this way, I'm afraid that the Black Knife Gang will not be able to escape this disaster. After tonight, the power of Tianmaji will be reshuffled. No wonder these guys want to return. Tonight is bound to be chaotic. It's the best time for us to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune!"
.....
The people in the field began to talk at once. But without exception, everyone's eyes became fiery. They really wanted to rush into the Cloud Returning Building as soon as Wang Yan gave the order to kill and swallow all the gold and silver treasures.
Li Jiuhong also saw the head in Wang Yan's hand. He naturally knew Wu Tianliang. He did not expect that Wang Yan's purpose was to rob and kill Wu Tianliang and his team. Moreover, he had succeeded. He could not help but smack his lips and said, "Damn, this bastard Wang Yan has made things too big this time. But I like it, hahaha!"
Lin Tianyang also laughed. After waiting for a night, Wang Yan finally appeared. No matter what Wang Yan was going to do later, at least Wang Yan did not dare to be drunk. He did not need to worry about getting the gold and silver that he had promised. Lin Tianyang had no reason not to laugh. As for the master of Yunzi Stage who wore an iron mask, there was no change in expression on his face. But when he looked at Wang Yan, there was obviously a little more awe in his eyes.
Finally, Wang Yan rode to the end of Qingyun Street and stopped. Then he raised Wu Tianliang's head high in his hand and said in a voice that shook the long street, "The head of the Black Knife Gang, Wu Tianliang, is here. Tonight, I want to uproot the Black Knife Gang. If you want to get rich, just follow me. Once we defeat the Black Knife Gang, you can take the secret manuals, elixirs, gold and silver treasures!"
After that, Wang Yan did not care about the reaction of the hundreds of people on the long street. He turned his horse and galloped toward the Black Knife Gang's station. From the beginning to the end, Wang Yan did not look at the Cloud Returning Building. From the beginning, he did not want to take the Cloud Returning Building directly.
Not waiting for Wang Yan to gallop off into the distance, Qing Yun Street erupted in an earth-shattering clamor. These fugitives, who had waited bitterly for an entire night, all revealed looks of greed in their eyes. They let out strange cries and excitedly followed Wang Yan towards the Black Knife Gang.
After a while, the Qingyun Street, which was crowded with people, finally became deserted. There was no one on the whole street.
