The Axe Gang's members were all good people!
Scarface's entire aura surged. His eyes widened, and his face reddened with rage, making the scars on his face seem even more sinister.
He breathed heavily, then shifted to the side to make way for Ye Zichen. He pointed at the gates of Black Ox Town.
The onlookers were stunned by Scarface's courage. Ever since the incident with Li Wanlong, it'd been a long time since anyone had dared speak to Ye Zichen like this.
The soldiers glanced at each other. Although they knew this was a member of the Axe Gang, they'd dared provoke a star of calamity like Ye Zichen. They could only blame themselves.
"Do you dare?"
When Ye Zichen didn't respond, Scarface assumed he was afraid. He puffed out his chest and shouted angrily.
"You're really looking to die."
The townsfolk sneered inwardly. Ye Zichen was so strong that even Li Wanlong, a human immortal, didn't dare let out a fart when he beat him.
Scarface had only just entered immortality, yet he dared yell at Ye Zichen like this?
"Senior Ye, go with him and teach them a lesson."
"That's right, Senior Ye, go outside and teach them a lesson."
The onlookers had already started shouting. When one person took the lead, countless others followed. The people of Black Ox Town didn't have a good impression of the Axe Gang …..
Of those who'd been in the Thirteenth District long enough, who dared say they hadn't been robbed by the Axe Gang?
As for those who'd been here for a bit longer, they'd heard that the Axe Gang claimed to be righteous, but they were actually bandits.
"Shut up!"
Scarface frowned and shouted angrily. The Axe Gang's subordinates glared coldly at the townsfolk. However, their gazes didn't scare the townsfolk away. Instead, wave after wave of boos rose.
In contrast, Zhao Ye was much calmer than Scarface and the others. In response to the townsfolk's boos, he merely smiled calmly, then used this as an excuse to look at Ye Zichen.
"I can see that Brother Ye is quite famous in Black Ox Town. Since the townsfolk have said so, why don't you follow us out of town?"
"Is that okay?"
Ye Zichen scratched his head in apparent distress. He'd just robbed Scarface a few days ago. To tell the truth, he really couldn't bear to do it again.
Especially this time, Scarface didn't even come to deliver it himself. Instead, he brought someone who seemed to be richer than him.
The people of the Axe Gang were really good people!
"Are you scared?"
When he saw Ye Zichen scratch his head, Scarface thought he was afraid and mocked him. Zhao Ye smiled faintly as he pointed at the townspeople who were watching.
"Everyone is waiting for Brother Ye to leave the city with us. If Brother Ye doesn't go out, I'm afraid you'll disappoint them."
Ye Zichen's expression was still as vexed as ever. He frowned at the Axe Gang members, who couldn't wait to give him their money.
"If I go out just because you ask me to, wouldn't that make me lose face?"
"Then what do you want!"
Scarface took a step forward. In truth, he was truly worried that Ye Zichen would hole up in Black Ox Town forever. If that were really the case, he really wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Now that Ye Zichen's tone had clearly softened, he was worried that a long delay would bring trouble. He gritted his teeth, took out a spatial pouch, and tossed it over.
"Ten thousand spirit coins. So long as you leave the city, it's yours."
Ye Zichen caught the pouch and probed it with his immortal awareness. When he discovered that there really were ten thousand spirit coins inside, he was so moved he couldn't put it into words.
The people of the Axe Gang were too nice!
They were so eager to give him money. Where else could he find such good people?
However, to his surprise, just as he was sighing over how good the Axe Gang was, Zhao Ye tossed him a pouch of money.
"I have ten thousand spirit coins here too."
Twenty thousand spirit coins!
Ye Zichen clutched the pouch in a daze. He didn't know what to say. Ye Zichen resisted the urge to cry, then hesitated no longer. He put the pouch of money in his pocket, put his hands behind his back, and walked past Scarface and the others.
It was hard to refuse such kindness!
They'd already gone this far. If Ye Zichen didn't appreciate it, wouldn't that make them lose face?
Ye Zichen sighed helplessly …..
"Let's go!"
The Li Manor.
These past few days, Li Wanlong hadn't been all that comfortable. With Ye Zichen, that malignant star, by Wu Di's side, he was truly worried that Wu Di would complain to Ye Zichen and that malignant star would come knocking on his door.
He'd sent a message to his sister, but she'd yet to respond. As a result, he'd been on edge for the past few days.
"Administrator Li."
A Li Family servant hurried over. Li Wanlong was already anxious, but when he saw that the servant hadn't even announced his arrival, his expression darkened and he berated him.
"Didn't you know to report before entering?"
The servant hadn't expected Li Wanlong to be so angry. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Li Wanlong snorted coldly at him.
"Speak. What's wrong?"
"Administrator Li, the Axe Gang has come to Black Ox Town," said the servant, not daring to delay any longer.
"So what if they're here? Black Ox Town isn't the Wu Family's private territory. What's so surprising about the Axe Gang coming?" Li Wanlong's expression darkened even further when he heard the servant report such a trivial matter to him.
Under his gaze, the servant's legs began to tremble. In order to save his own life, he had to speak faster.
"They didn't just come to Black Ox Town to rest. They came looking for that malignant star in the northern part of the city. It seems the Axe Gang has a grudge against that malignant star. They've been cursing and swearing for quite a while. However, Black Ox Town strictly forbids private fights. Not long ago, they left the city. They've probably left by now. Didn't you say that if I had any information on that malignant star, I should tell you right away? That's why this lowly one …. This lowly one deserves to die. Please spare my life, Administrator Li. "
The servant couldn't bear the pressure of Li Wanlong's gaze. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The Axe Gang came looking for him? What kind of Axe Gang members are they? "
"I heard it's Scarface, a squad leader, and Zhao Ye, the Axe Gang's main squad leader in Raging Flame City. They've brought around thirty subordinates with them."
"So it's the two of them!"
Li Wanlong didn't pay any more attention to the servants kneeling on the ground, but his mind was spinning.
The Axe Gang had come looking for Ye Zichen?
That was good news!
As someone born and raised in the Thirteenth District, Li Wanlong's understanding of the Axe Gang was incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
He knew Scarface. Although he'd only been in the Axe Gang for a few years, he was quite skilled. In such a short time, he'd managed to sneak his way to the position of squad leader.
Scarface had always been active in the secret regions near Black Ox Town. Over the past few years, he'd robbed at least eight hundred townsfolk, if not a thousand.
Previously, he'd heard that Scarface wanted to rob Wu Di and had almost killed him in the forbidden region. Li Wanlong knew all this, but he'd deliberately refrained from sending anyone to rescue him.
As for Zhao Ye, he knew even more about him. He'd been a member of the Axe Gang's branch in Raging Flame City ever since. Since he was the Axe Gang's oldest member, he was now the branch's leader, second only to one. He was also at the peak of entering immortality.
Zhao Ye's strength, and even the branch leader's, weren't enough to pose a threat to Ye Zichen. However, the head of the Axe Gang's branch was extremely favored in the headquarters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to Raging Flame City as a branch head.
Furthermore, Zhao Ye was the branch leader's face. If Ye Zichen dared attack him, even if he didn't kill him, so long as he injured him, the branch leader would definitely make trouble for him. Then, the Axe Gang's headquarters would be dragged into the matter.
So long as he ran into headquarters, Ye Zichen wouldn't be able to live a good life, even with his peerless divine abilities.
What's more, the Axe Gang was backed by the Sky Great District's Green Gang. Even in the seventy-two districts, they were a peak faction.
As he considered this, Li Wanlong couldn't help but shake his head and snort. Only then did he remember the kneeling servants.
"Alright, you've done well. Go!"
"Hey."
The kneeling servant's legs went weak. When he got to his feet, he almost fell to the ground again. With great difficulty, he steadied himself and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Li Wanlong called out to him. The servant gulped, turned around, and saw a bag of money tossed at him.
"Here's your reward."
"Thank you, Steward."
The servant thanked him profusely, then left the courtyard. Li Wanlong, who'd always been on tenterhooks, smiled contentedly, then drained his cup of immortal brew.
"Ye Zichen, oh, Ye Zichen, since you provoked the Axe Gang, I'm afraid you won't have a good time. Also, Wu Di, your good days are coming to an end. "
