Chapter 127 - 86: Patience is About Thinking Openly and Standing Firm! Heading North to Yan City Overnight
His tone shifted, and his smile grew even more lecherous. "And not just that, his sons’ wives are each one hotter than the last!"
"The eldest daughter-in-law is buxom and seductive, the second is delicate and pretty, and the third... Tsk, tsk. That body, that face... I’m practically drooling just looking at her!"
"If I could just get my hands on them... then I, Washing Three Mornings, could die a happy man."
A skinny man beside him slapped his shoulder, winking suggestively. "Hey, Master Xi, that’s where you’re wrong! The Gang Leader has to get first dibs! Our leader picks first, and only then is it our turn!"
Hearing this, Master Xi quickly raised his glass. "Right, right! I was being foolish! Gang Leader, I’ll punish myself with a drink!"
Yang Qingyun roared with laughter, taking the glass offered by the beauty next to him and downing it in one gulp.
"Don’t you worry! Once we wipe out the Red Saber Sect, their men, their money, their territory, and their women will all belong to our Qingli Gang!"
"The Gang Leader is wise!"
"The Gang Leader is mighty!"
"I knew we couldn’t go wrong following the Gang Leader! We’ve all been living the good life with him!"
The chorus of ass-kissing erupted once more, each wave of praise louder than the last.
The two qipao-clad beauties in Yang Qingyun’s arms could only force themselves to smile and laugh along.
After all, everyone present knew their Gang Leader’s favorite things were married women and, well, other men’s daughters.
Many pairs of eyes darted furtively toward the two pure and lovely beauties in qipaos beside Yang Qingyun, their gazes filled with deep envy and a trace of unconcealable pity.
They were envious because they could only look at such peerless beauties, not touch.
They felt pity because, in their eyes, these two beauties had already... well, been tormented quite miserably by the Gang Leader over the past few days.
They were the daughters of the Red Saber Sect Hall Master who had just recently been wiped out.
A pair of sisters, the elder nineteen and the younger eighteen, each one more gorgeous than the last.
It was said that when that Hall Master was hacked to death, his eyes remained open. Not out of unwillingness to die, but because he had personally watched Yang Qingyun take his two daughters away on the spot.
From that day on, Yang Qingyun couldn’t bear to be parted from these two young beauties.
He kept them by his side during the day and in his bed at night. He couldn’t even bear to let them go when he came to the nightclub to have fun.
Yang Qingyun leaned back against the sofa, enjoying the shoulder massage from the two beauties on either side of him. He slowly spoke, his eyes half-closed. "Since all you brothers are in agreement, I’ll go contact the Honorable Consul Sato and we’ll talk after that."
Consul Sato was the Wa Country’s consul stationed in Nanfu City. For the past few years, the Qingli Gang’s ability to grow from a small dockside gang to one that could go toe-to-toe with the Red Saber Sect was all thanks to this "foreign backer."
Firearms, money, intelligence, cultivation resources, and even channels for some shady "business" were all fed to the Qingli Gang, bit by bit, by that very same Consul Sato, using the power of the foreign concessions.
Of course, those people from the Wa Country weren’t saints. They needed the Qingli Gang’s territory on the docks to conduct some business that couldn’t see the light of day.
’It’s just mutual exploitation,’ Yang Qingyun knew this perfectly well, ’but so what?’
’As long as I have guns, cannons, territory, and women, that’s enough.’ As for being secretly cursed as a beast and a traitor by others, he couldn’t care less.
Just as Yang Qingyun raised his glass to take another drink, a dark shadow fell over him.
No one saw when this shadow appeared. Nor did anyone notice how he had passed through over a hundred gang members, wound his way through rows of sofas, and arrived at this most central position.
Lu Yun, who had somehow procured a simple gray robe to wear, looked down at the seated Yang Qingyun and spoke.
"You’re the Qingli Gang’s Leader, right? I need to borrow your ship, as well as your captain and crew."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall, which had been so raucous it seemed the roof might blow off, fell completely silent in an instant.
The hundred-plus Qingli Gang members sitting around were all stunned into silence.
They stared at the old man in gray robes standing before their leader, their minds completely blank.
’Where did this old lunatic come from? Does he have a death wish?’
"You’re fucking looking for death!"
A drunk high-ranking member next to him was the first to react. He shot to his feet, grabbed a short dagger from the table, and slashed at Lu Yun’s neck!
The next moment, the high-ranking Qingli Gang member swinging the dagger felt his vision suddenly begin to spin.
His head twisted a full three times on his neck before stopping at an angle a normal person could never possibly achieve.
With a final THUD, the corpse collapsed to the ground. Blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, spreading across the polished marble floor.
The instant the body hit the floor, Yang Qingyun had already reacted. His hands flashed to his waist like lightning, and two daggers were held firmly in his palms.
Cyan Carp Seven Shadows Stab!
This was Yang Qingyun’s signature technique. He had used it to kill countless opponents of the same Realm.
Especially at close range, the speed of his daggers was faster than a bullet!
Yang Qingyun struck with both blades at once, one from the left and one from the right, aiming simultaneously for Lu Yun’s throat and heart!
Then, he witnessed an unbelievable sight. Lu Yun simply raised his left hand and gave a light wave.
The daggers, forged from fine steel, snapped on contact, the broken blades sent tumbling through the air.
Then, without stopping, that left hand continued on and slapped against Yang Qingyun’s neck.
Yang Qingyun only felt a numbness at the back of his neck, as if something had just protruded from behind it.
He tried to look down, only to find he could no longer lower his head.
