An ordinary gang like the Thunder Gang naturally wouldn't hold a welcoming ceremony for Zhao Hai. In fact, with the Thunder Gang's situation, they simply didn't have the ability to hold a welcoming ceremony for Zhao Hai. Just like that, Zhao Hai silently joined the Thunder Gang.
After joining the Thunder Gang, Zhao Hai also understood the gang's situation. It must be said that the Thunder Gang was really miserable. Every month, they had to earn their living expenses by themselves. Moreover, the Thunder Gang had almost no savings. Even if they did save some money, it would all be used to help the people of the Thunder Alley.
Zhao Hai didn't think about immediately taking out money to help the Thunder Gang. This was because this wasn't a solution to the problem. It was even possible that the Thunder Gang would bring disaster to themselves because of this money.
This wasn't impossible. For a small gang like the Thunder Gang, if they suddenly received a large amount of money and didn't have the strength to protect it, then what awaited them wouldn't be good. It was very likely that people would have bad intentions towards their money.
In Raging Flame City, the Thunder Gang was at the bottom of the food chain. Moreover, they didn't have any background. In this case, if they suddenly became rich, then it would be strange if other people didn't try to rob them.
After staying in the Thunder Gang for two days, Zhao Hai also understood the Alliance's situation. The Alliance believed in the law of the jungle. Inside the city, besides the gangs, nobody would make a move. However, it was different outside the city. In the Demon Realm, bandits ran amok. There were a lot of Rogue Cultivators who would become bandits. In any case, being a bandit was much faster than doing missions.
It was because of this that merchants would hire people when they go out to transport goods. It was also because of this that the Demon Dao Alliance had a lot of Guilds, as well as a Quest Hall that specialized in giving out quests.
Doing missions was the main source of income for many cultivators. It could be said that these bandits and cultivators used this antagonistic relationship to increase the burden on the ordinary people who supported them.
However, these things weren't something that Zhao Hai could manage. After staying in the Thunder Gang for two days, Zhao Hai couldn't stay any longer. It wasn't that he was in a hurry to do a mission, or that he was in a hurry to leave Raging Flame City. Instead, it was because the Thunder Gang's life was too poor. If they didn't do missions now, then they would run out of food to eat.
For a gang to be poor to this extent, this was definitely a miracle. However, Zhao Hai discovered that in the Thunder Gang, the one who ate the best wasn't the gang leader, nor was it him, the guest elder. Instead, it was the youngsters who had just joined the gang and were currently practicing martial arts.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn't help but be moved. He didn't think that there would be such a gang in the territory of Demonic Cultivators. This was something that many righteous sects couldn't do.
Because of this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't sit still. He needed to do missions. Only by doing missions would they be able to earn income. With income, they would be able to support these people.
On the third day after Zhao Hai joined the Thunder Gang, there was a group of Thunder Gang members who wanted to do a mission. This mission was accepted two days ago. The other party needed ten people, and the reward for the mission wasn't low. Liu Wei and the others had already discussed that this mission would be led by Li Shan, along with nine other cultivators.
Originally, this mission didn't have anything to do with Zhao Hai. However, after seeing the situation of the Thunder Gang, Zhao Hai took the initiative to come along. Liu Wei didn't say anything. Zhao Hai was now a member of the Thunder Gang, so sooner or later, he would need to do missions. Letting him follow along now was good. This way, he wouldn't be clueless when he goes out to do missions.
With Liu Wei's agreement, Zhao Hai could naturally follow along. However, the leader was still Li Shan. This wasn't Li Shan's first time doing missions like this, so he was very experienced.
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't object. After getting up in the morning and having a simple breakfast, Zhao Hai followed Li Shan and the others as they left the Thunder Gang and headed towards the commercial street in the city.
The commercial street in the city was very prosperous. There were many shops, and some ordinary people and cultivators were going in and out of those shops. Everything seemed normal.
Zhao Hai and the others stopped in front of a shop called Moon Gazing Pavilion. Then Li Shan turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Elder Zhao, come with me." Zhao Hai followed Li Shan into the Moon Gazing Pavilion.
After entering the Moon Gazing Pavilion, Zhao Hai discovered that this was a very high-class shop. There were all kinds of things inside. Cultivators, ordinary people, pills, weapons, beast hides, herbs, and even some farming tools. Zhao Hai hadn't seen a shop like this before.
In the past, in the Righteous Dao Alliance, the shops of ordinary people were separated from the shops of cultivators. Aside from hotels and restaurants, all the other shops were separated. Shops that sold things for ordinary people wouldn't have things for cultivators, and shops that sold things for cultivators wouldn't have things for ordinary people. This had become an unwritten rule. This kind of situation had never happened before.
Li Shan seemed to be very familiar with the people of the Full Moon Pavilion. As soon as he entered the pavilion, a shopkeeper came over. When he saw Li Shan, he immediately said, "Boss Li, you're finally here. Quick, have the brothers go to the back. The convoy is ready, we'll set off immediately." Li Shan nodded and said, "Boss Li, you're finally here.
Li Shan nodded, then he said, "Shopkeeper Chen, this is our Thunder Gang's Guest Elder, Zhao Ming. Elder Zhao, this is our Thunder Gang's long-term partner, Moon Gazing Pavilion's Shopkeeper Chen."
Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Shopkeeper Chen and said, "Zhao Hai has seen Shopkeeper Chen. I'll have to ask Shopkeeper Chen to take care of me in the future."
When Shopkeeper Chen heard Zhao Hai, he stared blankly. He was very familiar with the Thunder Gang, but he had never heard of a Guest Elder. However, he was also a businessman, so he quickly cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Chen Feng has seen Elder Zhao."
Li Shan turned to Shopkeeper Chen and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'll go arrange for everyone to go to the back to see the goods." After saying that, Li Shan walked out of the store and shouted at the Thunder Gang cultivators outside. The Thunder Gang cultivators circled around to the back of the store from a small path next to it.
Li Shan and Zhao Hai followed Shopkeeper Chen to the back of the store. Before long, the three arrived at the back courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a convoy ready to set off. This convoy was composed of ten four-wheeled carriages. Each carriage was loaded with goods, piled high on top of the carriages.
The goods were neatly stacked in boxes and bags. The amount of goods transported by these ten carriages was quite a lot. In front of the first carriage, there was a seat for the driver. This seat was very spacious, it could fit two people. Naturally, this seat was reserved for Zhao Hai and the other guards.
Shopkeeper Chen sized up Zhao Hai, then he turned to Li Shan and said, "Leader Li, please come with me. I have something to discuss with you."
Li Shan nodded. Shopkeeper Chen politely cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and then led Li Shan into the store. Zhao Hai also nodded towards Shopkeeper Chen, then he turned his head towards the convoy. Zhao Hai knew what Shopkeeper Chen wanted to say to Li Shan. Listening to Li Shan's words, Shopkeeper Chen had cooperated with the Thunder Gang more than once or twice. Moreover, Shopkeeper Chen had never seen him before. Now that Li Shan suddenly appeared, Shopkeeper Chen naturally became vigilant. Shopkeeper Chen must have asked Li Shan about Li Shan's background.
Zhao Hai didn't get angry, this was very normal. Shopkeeper Chen was a businessman. Now that an unknown person suddenly wanted to escort their goods, he naturally had to ask.
When Zhao Hai saw the scale of the Full Moon Pavilion, he knew that the Full Moon Pavilion must have some background. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do such a big business.
Sure enough, before long, Shopkeeper Chen and Li Shan came out. Li Shan's face was expressionless, he couldn't see any changes. On the other hand, Shopkeeper Chen still had a smile on his face. However, Zhao Hai could see a trace of surprise in Shopkeeper Chen's eyes.
At this time, the convoy was already prepared. Shopkeeper Chen cupped his fist towards Li Shan and Zhao Hai and said, "Gentlemen, the convoy is ready. I'll have to trouble the two of you this time."
Li Shan nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Chen can rest assured."
Zhao Hai also cupped his fist towards Shopkeeper Chen and said, "Shopkeeper Chen is too polite. We'll do our best."
Li Shan glanced at the convoy and said, "Elder Zhao, please stay at the back. I'll lead the way." Zhao Hai nodded and Li Shan went to the first carriage. The others also found their own carriages and sat down. Zhao Hai sat in the last carriage and the carriage majestically left the courtyard.
It was clear that the Full Moon Pavilion had already prepared everything. The carriage left Raging Flame City unimpeded and headed towards the east. There were a lot of people who set off with Zhao Hai's group. Some of them were driving carriages while others were only carrying bags. They followed closely behind the carriages, not daring to get too close or too far away.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he knew that these people were planning to follow them. They wanted to use them to avoid being attacked by bandits. Moreover, it seems like this wasn't the first time they did this, so he didn't mind.
Because the carriage was carrying a lot of things, it wasn't very fast. However, it was clear that the drivers were very familiar with this road. When it was almost noon, they sped up a bit. Then the carriages stopped below a hill. The people on the carriages came down and found a place to rest and eat. At the same time, they took out some beans to feed the horses.
Zhao also got down from the carriage and went to Li Shan's side. He pointed at the people who were following the carriage and asked, "Brother Li Shan, will those people be okay?" Li Shan nodded and said, "Brother Li Shan, will those people be okay?"
Li Shan looked at them and shook his head, "It's fine, they're just some pitiful people who can't afford to hire guards. If they want to follow, then let them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked around and said, "How many days do we have to travel this time? They seem to be very familiar with this road. "
