Yu Songren was an inner disciple of the Myriad Poison Cult. However, he was not an ordinary inner disciple. He was one of the top ten inner disciples of the Myriad Poison Cult. He was very powerful and was about to reach the Void Return Realm. Among the inner disciples, he was also a famous master.
But now, Yu Songren was not in the Myriad Poison Cult. He was going to Qingsong Mountain to carry out a mission. Although Qingsong Mountain was the territory of the Elegant Wood Pavilion, it was impossible for the Elegant Wood Pavilion to control the entire Qingsong Mountain. In addition, although there was no deep hatred between the Myriad Poison Cult and the Elegant Wood Pavilion, there was no friendship between them. Occasionally, there would be a little friction between the two sides, but it was only between the disciples. There was nothing serious.
This time, Yu Songren was ordered by the sect to go to Qingsong Mountain and complete an assassination mission. His target this time was an inner core disciple of the Elegant Wood Pavilion.
An Inner Core Disciple of the Elegant Wood Pavilion had killed a disciple of their Myriad Poison Cult when he went out for a trial some time ago. Of course, they could not tolerate it. Therefore, this time, they were going to take revenge on the Elegant Wood Pavilion by assassinating their disciple.
However, it was not easy to assassinate a disciple of the Elegant Wood Pavilion in Qingsong Mountain. The main reason was that there was no direct transmission formation in Qingsong Mountain. They could only go to one of the several cities of the Elegant Wood Pavilion and then fly to the Elegant Wood Pavilion.
This time, Yu Songren wanted to go to Woodflower City first and then to Qingsong Mountain. Because Yu Songren was very clear that Woodflower City had just gone through a war and was now being rebuilt, it was very chaotic. There were all kinds of people there. Yu Songren would not be too conspicuous if he went there.
With a flash of white light, Yu Songren appeared in Woodflower City. Now, Woodflower City was a huge construction site. Many cultivators went in and out of it. It was very chaotic.
Yu Songren glanced around and slowly walked forward. But as soon as he walked out of the transmission formation of Woodflower City, he felt powerless. This surprised Yu Songren. He immediately found something wrong. Yu Songren looked down and found that there was a thick layer of gray on his hand. He immediately realized that he was poisoned.
Yu Songren moved his hand and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. Then, he opened the bottle and poured the contents into his mouth. At the same time, he carefully observed his surroundings.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder. Then, he felt all the strength in his body disappear. Then, he heard someone say, "Senior Brother Yu, so you're here. You made me look for you. Let's go. We have to get into the teleportation array. Otherwise, it'll be too late." Yu Songren felt himself being pulled into the teleportation array. Following that, a white light flashed and he disappeared from the teleportation array. Until now, Yu Songren had not seen clearly what the person who pulled him looked like.
In the next moment, Yu Songren discovered that he had appeared in another city. This city was under the control of the Myriad Poison Order. Then, Yu Songren was pulled into the city by that person. Soon, the two of them arrived at a very remote alley. Then, Yu Songren's vision turned dark and he didn't know what happened.
At this time, the person who pulled Yu Songren loosened his grip. He looked at Yu Songren and then moved his hand, taking away Yu Songren's identity card and spatial equipment. Then he took out a formation and fiddled with it a few times. After that, he changed his appearance and swaggered out of the alley. As for Yu Songren's corpse, he placed it against the wall as if it was a person standing there.
After that, the person went to the teleportation array and directly left. He used the teleportation array to return to Woodflower City. Then he changed his appearance and used the teleportation array to return to Tri-Mountain City. Then he changed his appearance and returned to the Sea Exploring Gang.
Naturally, this person was Liu Qingrui. Liu Qingrui had already left the Sea Exploring Gang for ten days. He had been lying in ambush in Woodflower City. This was because the Gold Spirit Trading Company had given him information that Yu Songren would be heading to Woodflower City in the near future. Then from there, he would go to Qingsong Mountain.
Because of this, Liu Qingrui had been waiting for Yu Songren in Woodflower City for ten days. Then he directly poisoned Yu Songren and subdued him. Although he brought Yu Songren to a city controlled by the Poison Sect, he killed Yu Songren and changed his appearance before leaving.
The reason why Liu Qingrui went to the Poison Sect's territory and killed Yu Songren was because he wanted to mislead the Poison Sect. He wanted to make sure that the Poison Sect didn't know who killed Yu Songren. The second reason was for revenge. Liu Qingrui still remembered that the Poison Sect sent people to deal with him. Naturally, he wanted to retaliate this time.
After returning to the Sea Exploring Gang, Liu Qingrui saw that there was nothing wrong with the Sea Exploring Gang. However, the Tri-Mountain City had been developing very quickly. There were already two gangs with more than 3000 members. This was something that Liu Qingrui needed to pay attention to.
After dealing with the gang's matters, Liu Qingrui went to the Chamber of Commerce's backyard the next morning and directly handed in his mission. This mission required Liu Qingrui to hand in Yu Songren's identity token. As long as he handed in Yu Songren's identity token, he would be rewarded. The reward for this mission was quite good.
After handing in the mission, Liu Qingrui returned to the Sea Exploring Gang. He couldn't always do missions for the Golden Spirit Commerce. The Sea Exploring Gang was his backing. With the Sea Exploring Gang, the Golden Spirit Commerce would pay attention to him. Without the Sea Exploring Gang, the Golden Spirit Commerce wouldn't pay attention to him.
However, before returning to the Sea Exploring Gang, Liu Qingrui went to Cui Yinyu and told him that he wanted to deal with the two new gangs. Naturally, Liu Qingrui also gave Cui Yinyu some gifts. Naturally, Liu Qingrui agreed.
Actually, Cui Yinyu didn't care much about these gangs. As long as he was notified in advance, he would usually agree.
After returning to the Sea Exploring Gang, Liu Qingrui called Cui Jinfeng and the others to his study. He looked at them and said, "Recently, two gangs have appeared in Three Mountain City. They have more than three thousand people. If we let them grow, they might become a big gang. This is a threat to us, so we must teach them a lesson. It's best if we eliminate them. So tonight, we'll attack the two gangs' encampments and destroy them in one fell swoop. Jinfeng will lead one team, Xue Song will lead the other, and you two teams will deal with one gang each. It's best if we eliminate them, but it's also fine if they surrender, understood?"
Do you understand? "The group nodded. Cui Jinfeng and Ning Xuesong each led a 10,000-man team. A 10,000-man team shouldn't have any problem dealing with a gang of 3000 people. Therefore, they weren't worried that they couldn't deal with the other party.
Liu Qingrui looked at them and said, "Remember, if they surrender, we can spare them. But they must join the Sea Exploring Gang. In the future, these two gangs can no longer exist. If they don't surrender, then we must eliminate their leaders."
The two nodded. They also understood what Liu Qingrui meant. Liu Qingrui wanted to expand the Sea Exploring Gang. This was beyond their expectations.
To be honest, the Sea Exploring Gang was the biggest gang in the history of Three Mountain City. A gang with more than 40,000 members was something that had never appeared in the city before. In the past, the biggest gang in Three Mountain City only had 20,000 members. But now, the Sea Exploring Gang had more than 40,000 members. This was the first time such a large gang had appeared in Three Mountain City.
Because of this, they were very confident. They believed that even if two gangs with more than 10,000 members suddenly appeared, they would still be able to deal with them. They didn't expect Liu Qingrui to want to deal with them at this time. This was beyond their expectations.
But no matter what, since Liu Qingrui said that he wanted to deal with them, then they would deal with them. In any case, it was to expand the Sea Exploring Gang.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Qingrui dismissed them. Actually, Cui Jinfeng's guess wasn't wrong. Liu Qingrui wanted to expand the Sea Exploring Gang. He wanted the Sea Exploring Gang to become the dominant force in Three Mountain City. This way, although the Chamber of Commerce was still in control of the city, it would be the Sea Exploring Gang that would be in control. When the time comes, the people of the Chamber of Commerce would pay more attention to him.
Time passed little by little, and soon, the sky turned dark. The people of the Sea Exploring Gang were ready, but Liu Qingrui didn't show himself. Everyone thought that Liu Qingrui didn't need to show himself because of this operation. However, nobody knew that Liu Qingrui was actually secretly observing the Sea Exploring Gang. He wanted to see if the two new gangs were related to the Harmony Wood Pavilion, the Shady Wind Ridge, and the Myriad Poison Order. If they were related, then the disciples of the Sea Exploring Gang would certainly send them a message. At that time, not only would Liu Qingrui be able to find the traitor, but he would also know which sect the two gangs were related to.
Finding the traitor wasn't an easy task. Just like what Cui Yinyu said, joining a sect was too tempting for these rogue cultivators. Not to mention those rogue cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining Realm, even those who had reached the Spirit Realm couldn't resist the temptation of joining a sect. Therefore, it was very easy for those sects to arrange a traitor in the Sea Exploring Gang. As long as they waved their hands, there would be countless people who would want to become their traitor. Therefore, just catching a traitor wouldn't be of any use.
Moreover, for the two gangs to become so powerful in such a short period of time, Liu Qingrui didn't believe that they didn't have a large force supporting them from behind. Therefore, Liu Qingrui wanted to deal with the two gangs. He wanted to let the other Sects understand that the Sea Exploring Gang had the final say in Tri-Mountain City. If they wanted to interfere, then he wouldn't be polite.
The reason why Liu Qingrui was sure that he could find the traitor was because of the Cyan Jade Compass in his hand. The Cyan Jade Compass was originally a very powerful artifact, but it was later copied by the Sea Exploring Gang. Almost every disciple had one. Although it wasn't as powerful as the real Cyan Jade Compass, it still had a lot of functions that were very helpful to cultivators. One of the functions was to block and track information.
