I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities

"Gang Leader, Kuang Wei is here!"

A deep shout shattered the silence and oppression in Unity Hall.

The gray-clad man who left with orders earlier returned, dragging a young man in white.

The latter was drenched in sweat, with a face full of panic and fear, struggling incessantly.

But under the gray-clad man’s restraint, his resistance seemed quite laughable!

Plop!

The young man in white was heavily thrown to the ground.

Fan Tai snorted without looking at the disheveled fellow, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Gong Xinhe?"

Kuang Wei is Gong Xinhe’s brother-in-law.

He relied on the authority of the Outer Hall Master to become an Incense Master.

Kuang Wei’s cultivation was mediocre, barely breaking through to Tier Three Transformation Realm, making his strength nearly the weakest among his peers, and he had no other talents.

It was only by virtue of his identity as the Hall Master’s brother-in-law that no one dared to easily offend him.

Fan Tai had heard of this but never paid it any mind.

Water that is too clear has no fish; which Elder or Hall Master hasn’t brought a few relatives and friends?

To truly hold them accountable is simply impractical!

Moreover, Gong Xinhe was one of Fan Tai’s confidants, otherwise, he wouldn’t occupy such an important position.

Unless Kuang Wei committed a major mistake or achieved great merit, he wouldn’t attract Fan Tai’s attention.

Now that Kuang Wei colluded with the barbarians, it was a colossal crime!

Facing Fan Tai’s inquiry, the gray-clad man bowed and said, "Gang Leader, Master Gong is just outside!"

Fan Tai coldly replied, "Let him in."

After a moment, a tall, burly man walked into Unity Hall with his head lowered.

He was bare-chested and held a slick bamboo staff in his hand.

"Gang Leader, Xinhe was poorly disciplined, please punish me!"

The burly man knelt before Fan Tai, holding up the bamboo staff with both hands.

This bamboo staff wasn’t a walking stick but a long staff specifically used for corporal punishment, made of old bamboo bundles soaked in tung oil for three years, making it extremely tough.

One strike on the body would instantly tear the skin, and the force penetrating the bones would cause excruciating pain!

Even a Tier Three Transformation Realm martial artist could only withstand twenty to thirty strikes at most.

Thus, speaking of the staff punishment, everyone dreaded it!

Gong Xinhe came bare-chested, carrying the staff and pleading guilty to Fan Tai, clearly not intending to argue.

In Zhang Yuan’s view, this was a smart move.

Colluding with external enemies was a serious crime, a taboo for the gang; no matter how high Gong Xinhe’s position and power, once tainted by such matters, the outcome would be very tragic.

Therefore, immediately severing ties with Kuang Wei was the most correct choice!

Fan Tai casually said, "We’ll set your issue aside for now, let me ask your brother-in-law first."

He trusted Gong Xinhe in the past, but now he couldn’t be fully trusted.

Gong Xinhe’s heart trembled and he retreated to the side.

The Outer Hall Master couldn’t help but glance at Kuang Wei lying on the ground, his gaze as if poisoned.

Kuang Wei wanted to die, but to be involved in such matters, he truly wished to beat him to death with the bamboo staff and then return home to give his favorite concubine a cup of poisoned wine.

Meanwhile, Kuang Wei was curled up on the ground, trembling, losing all his former arrogance.

Earlier, he was at home, making merry with a group of dubious friends, suddenly captured and brought here by the personal guards.

Initially, he had no idea what was happening.

Only when brought to Unity Hall, meeting Gang Leader Fan Tai, and seeing his brother-in-law Gong Xinhe pleading guilty, did Kuang Wei realize he was finished!

Thinking of the consequences of his exposed crime, he was terrified to the extreme, his throat making incoherent sounds, unable to utter a word.

His mind was a blank!

Fan Tai looked at the comically pathetic Kuang Wei and said expressionlessly, "Master Kuang, our Golden Sand Gang has treated you well, and your brother-in-law Gong Xinhe has been good to you, right?"

"So why did you collude with the barbarians?"

Facing Fan Tai’s questioning, Kuang Wei wanted to argue.

But under the oppressive aura of this Tier Six strongman, his will completely collapsed, and he tearfully confessed everything like spilling beans from a bamboo tube.

Turns out Kuang Wei was persuaded by someone over a month ago.

The persuader was not a barbarian but an outsider martial artist.

The person seemed to know Kuang Wei quite well, gifting him many goods and holding his leverage.

But this was not enough to make Kuang Wei betray the gang.

The key was, the person promised Kuang Wei that if he secretly joined the Wuqi Barbarian Race, then when Golden Sand Island fell, not only could Kuang Wei preserve his life, he could continue to be a minor head, living lavishly.

It was this promise that swayed Kuang Wei.

Earlier, the Wuqi Tribe had been persistently harassing the peripheral regions of Golden Sand Island, cutting off waterways and attacking merchant ships and fishing boats, creating an atmosphere of fear and tension within and outside the Golden Sand Gang.

This incited Kuang Wei’s fear of imminent danger.

Now, with such a backup plan, he grasped it like a lifeline.

He willingly served as a spy and informant for the barbarians.

Monitoring Zhang Yuan’s every move was one of Kuang Wei’s tasks.

Fan Tai heard up to this point and didn’t continue listening, sternly shouting, "Take him away for harsh interrogation, and arrest all related persons for me!"

His sharp, commanding gaze swept towards Gong Xinhe: "Master Gong, I’m entrusting this matter to you, giving you a chance to redeem your mistakes."

From Kuang Wei’s confession, it was clear that Gong Xinhe was hardly involved.

But the Outer Hall Master couldn’t shirk responsibility either.

Fan Tai couldn’t kill Gong Xinhe with a single strike, but he wouldn’t let him off easily either.

Upon hearing this, Gong Xinhe shook all over, immediately saluting, "Understood!"

He grabbed his brother-in-law by the collar, leading him out of Unity Hall.

Kuang Wei, face covered in tears and snot, begged desperately for mercy.

Gong Xinhe ignored him completely.

After the two shadows disappeared at the door, Fan Tai clapped his hands: "Come forward!"

A personal guard came forward to receive orders.

Fan Tai gave a few instructions.

The guard quickly left and soon returned, bringing back a jade box familiar to Zhang Yuan.

Fan Tai apologized to Zhang Yuan, "My friend, this time it’s all my fault. This item might be useful to you, consider it my apology, I hope you don’t mind."

Zhang Yuan signaled Wang Wu to accept the jade box presented by the guard, then saluted, "You’re too kind, senior."

Fan Tai’s generosity was evident; as compensation, the contents of this jade box must be very precious.

So Zhang Yuan wisely accepted, showing he wouldn’t pursue the matter further.

The atmosphere between them returned to harmony.

Rumble~

As Zhang Yuan and Wang Wu walked out of Unity Hall, suddenly thunder roared from the sky.

He couldn’t help but look up and saw the night sky covered in dense clouds.

Looking like they were about to collapse!
