Various Movements
Little did they know that the moment Jin Anlan died, the Sky Great District's Green Gang was in an uproar.
Half a month ago, Jin Anlan had broken through to the peak sky immortal level. He'd said he'd join the Green Gang as an outer sect attendant in three months.
A few days ago, the Green Gang received news that Jin Anlan had broken through to immortal king.
Peak sky immortals weren't much to the Green Gang. Some people spent their entire lives struggling to cross the line of immortal king. But breaking through to immortal king was a qualitative change. In any faction, immortal kings were extremely important.
The Green Gang was no exception.
Jin Anlan's breakthrough meant that the Green Gang had decided to give him the position of an inner sect attendant. That was a fairly high position in the gang.
But just now, the person in the spirit room had said ….
Jin Anlan's soul jade slip had shattered!
An immortal king had never died in the seventy-two districts in a thousand years. This news instantly caused a huge uproar in the Green Gang.
Quite a few of the sect members couldn't help but ask who had the gall to kill an immortal king.
And an immortal king of the Green Gang at that!
The sect's elders didn't hesitate to report the matter to the gang leader.
Within the conference hall.
Six Coiling Dragon Pillars towered above the main hall. More than ten high-ranking members of the Green Gang stood in the middle of the hall. They had all come because of Jin Anlan's death. In the seat directly in front of them sat a middle-aged man.
"Alright, I understand everything you've said," said the man in the seat.
The man on the seat said in a deep voice. The higher-ups in the hall also spoke up one after another.
"Gang Leader, how do you think we should handle Jin Anlan's death?"
"What else can we do? He's dead, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. As for the Axe Gang we've set up outside, there's no need to pay them any mind. "
The man's response shocked everyone in the hall. An immortal king had died, just like that? Even the outside factions had given up on him.
After all, the Green Gang's current development was partly due to the Axe Gang's transportation of resources.
"Gang Leader!"
"Shut up!"
The senior members wanted to say something, but the man in the seat shouted angrily. The pressure of someone who'd been in a high position for a long time filled the entire hall, silencing everyone.
"Jin Anlan is an Immortal King, but isn't the one who killed him an Immortal King? Any Immortal King is worthy of our careful treatment. Could it be that you want us to find trouble with that Immortal King? How foolish! Alright, this matter ends here. In the future, no one in the gang is allowed to delay the investigation because of this matter. We'll deal with Jin Anlan's death internally. That's all. You're dismissed! "
"Yes."
The upper echelons carefully left the hall. Only when they had all disappeared did the leader of the Green Gang quickly put away his stern expression. He stood up from his chair and bowed towards the curtains.
"Sir, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
"Satisfaction is not for me to hear." Not long after, a woman's soft voice sounded from behind the curtain. "Your performance this time is not bad, but I don't want to see you stubbornly go your own way after I leave."
"I wouldn't dare." The leader of the Green Gang kept smiling obsequiously.
If an outsider were to see this scene, their jaws would definitely drop. The leader of the Green Gang was a famous existence in the 72 districts.
With his immortal-king-level strength and divine artifact, he was almost undefeatable in the 72 districts.
Furthermore, the Green Gang was a peak faction in the Sky Great District. The other factions could only hope to stand up to them after some practice.
And yet, this sort of existence was carefully smiling obsequiously!
"If Ye Zichen goes to the Sky Great District in the future, remember …. Give him some help."
"This humble one obeys."
There was a flash of light, and the person behind the curtains disappeared from the hall. The leader of the Green Gang maintained his bowing posture for a long time. Only after a full hour did he heave a sigh and sit back down, his gaze focused on the front of the hall.
"Jin Anlan, you didn't die in vain!"
… …
The Axe Gang, a peak faction in the Profound Great District, had been destroyed. The news spread like wildfire, and in just a few days, practically everyone in the Profound Great District, including the Earth and Sky Great Districts, heard of it.
Ye Zichen's reputation soared after this battle. Quite a few factions in the Sky Great District had already sent people out to search for him, hoping to rope him into their ranks.
The Mortal Great District's Wu Family. In the end, news of the Axe Gang capturing their qilin son spread far and wide.
As soon as Wu Wenguang received the news, he rushed back to the Wu Family. When he learned of the First Elder's actions, he couldn't help but curse him for being senile. Then, he told everyone about how Ye Zichen had single-handedly destroyed the Axe Gang.
When they heard this, everyone in the Wu Family panicked. They were worried that they'd become the next Axe Gang.
Within the Wu Family's main hall, Wu Wenguang sat on the family head's throne, his eyes narrowed. Practically all of the Wu Family's higher-ups were present.
The First Elder, Wu Honghua, sat in his chair like a sinner. He couldn't deny that his decision and actions had plunged the Wu Family into absolute danger.
"Family Head, Lil 'Di is Senior Ye's disciple, after all. Out of respect for Lil' Di, he probably won't do anything to our Wu Family. Although the First Elder's actions have infuriated Senior Ye, he did it for the sake of our family's survival. He made a decision that was beyond reproach! "
"That's right. As long as Lil 'Di pleads with Senior Ye, our family might still have a chance to turn things around."
The Wu Family's higher-ups chimed in, but Wu Wenguang didn't listen to a single word. All of their plans were built on the premise that Wu Di would put in a good word for them. But what if Wu Di didn't say anything?
The Wu Family treated Wu Di extremely harshly. To put it mildly wasn't harsh; it was ruthless.
Although they'd made Wu Di their qilin son and brought his mother's memorial tablet back to the clan's ancestral hall, their relationship had improved somewhat, the knot in his heart still hadn't been resolved.
"It's all your fault!"
He glared viciously at Li Na. If the Li Family hadn't been so ruthless, their current problems wouldn't have been so troublesome.
Wu Wenguang glared at Li Na, but Li Na bit her lip and didn't dare speak. Ever since learning that Ye Zichen was an immortal king, the Li Family had been terrified.
Of course, it was Wu Di, but it had always been the Li Family causing trouble.
"Right now, there's only one way to save our family." After a long moment of silence and thought, Wu Wenguang looked intently at everyone in the hall. "Cancel the marriage alliance with the Profound Great District's Cai Family. Let Yunan marry Wu Di."
"This …."
The people in the hall were all shocked, and there were even people who spoke out.
"Family Head, we've already provoked Senior Ye. If we cancel the marriage, won't we provoke the Cai Family as well?"
