Chapter 186: Chapter 98: Unparalleled in the World Five Animal Frolics! Qi Blood Four Transformation Turns into Wolf Smoke!_4
“That’s great…”
Upon hearing the news, both Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang by his side let out a long sigh of relief.
The difference between a genius and an ordinary person is exactly that: with the same resources and conditions, the former can achieve what the latter cannot!
Soon after, Sikong Wen continued with a serious expression, “We’ve just received word that Meng Sang has made a move. In the coming few days, he is likely to make his move, summoning all Hall Masters of the Giant Whale Gang to elect him as the new Gang Leader!”
“So soon?” Su Changkong was slightly surprised but nodded in agreement.
Events from three months ago had led many to suspect Meng Sang’s involvement, and instead of making a fuss during that sensitive time, he had kept a low profile.
Now that more than three months had passed, Meng Sang felt the time had come to take the coveted position of the Gang Leader!
In the next few days, Meng Sang would convene the ceremony of taking office as the Gang Leader, to be witnessed by all, becoming the new Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
“Meng Sang, I will give you a big surprise! Let’s settle our scores once and for all!”
Su Changkong sneered inwardly.
The feud between Su Changkong and Meng Sang was one of life and death!
Initially, Su Changkong had no intention of getting involved in the Giant Whale Gang’s internal strife; he merely wanted to be an Alchemist, quietly and diligently practicing Alchemy while enjoying some pill medicines for his cultivation.
But Meng Sang insisted on using him as a pawn, wanting him to secretly harm Sikong Zhan. Unwilling to do so, Su Changkong had no choice but to leave, yet Meng Sang did not stop there, successively sending Li Lie and Qi Chenghong to hunt him down.
Now, after more than half a year, Meng Sang probably only occasionally remembered that youth, whereas Su Changkong hadn’t forgotten a single day, intent on revenge!
Su Changkong had long marked Meng Sang as someone he must kill, but previously he lacked the strength. Now, Su Changkong felt it was time to end things!
“Third brother, during this time I will teach you some of the behaviors and mannerisms my father usually exhibits, otherwise it might give us away during the occasion.”
Sikong Huang commented from the side.
“Sure, no problem,” Su Changkong agreed. Having had the experience of impersonating Sikong Zhan before, he felt confident in taking on the role of Sikong Yong this time.
“My father is magnanimous and careless of minor details…” Sikong Huang then began to describe to Su Changkong some of Sikong Yong’s specific behaviors and habits, all of which Su Changkong took to heart.
“Yong Er may seem rough, but he’s meticulous in his own way, and very gentle with his family,” Sikong Wen occasionally added, causing Su Changkong a bit of speechlessness. In the eyes of Sikong Huang and Sikong Wen, Sikong Yong was too perfect; it was the classic case of ‘beauty lies in the lover’s eyes.’
At least according to what Su Changkong knew from others in the Giant Whale Gang, Sikong Yong was indeed a man of both wisdom and courage, a martial artist of high strength, and a prominent figure in Ink Forest Prefecture City. But he was also a domineering character who wouldn’t tolerate dissent from others! His actions were always forceful, and he was quick to throw a punch if words didn’t suffice – the fist was mightier than the mouth!
Su Changkong would have to grasp the essence of it himself.
Time passed, and five days flew by in the blink of an eye, but today was destined to be a day that would shake the entire Giant Whale Gang!
“Dang dang dang!”
In the Giant Whale Gang, early in the morning, the sound of bells echoed.
“Today… is the day when Deputy Gang Leader Meng Sang and the four Hall Masters will choose a new Gang Leader in the Juyi Hall!”
“Alas, Gang Leader Sikong hasn’t emerged from seclusion until this moment; it seems that the rumors are true… he has embarked on a long journey!”
All the disciples of the Giant Whale Gang got up early, each heading toward the Juyi Hall, already aware that today was a very serious day.
Days before, word had spread within the gang that a new Gang Leader would be chosen, which naturally met with skepticism. Sikong Yong had not yet stepped down, so what was the rush in selecting a new Gang Leader?
But as time passed, the Sikong Family remained silent on the matter, and not even the slightest hint of Sikong Yong coming out of seclusion emerged.
“Young Gang Leader Sikong Zhan met with danger in the Blue Rain Sea, and Gang Leader Sikong had no reaction at all. Now a new Gang Leader is about to be elected, and still, no reaction… It seems like the rumors are true, there’s trouble with the Gang Leader!”
The entire Giant Whale Gang couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.
Sikong Yong’s long seclusion away from world affairs had already sparked some rumors, and in recent months, they only grew more intense.
The mere fact that Sikong Zhan went missing in the Blue Rain Sea, and Sikong Yong showed no response, was already beyond normal. No matter how deep the seclusion, one wouldn’t simply ignore one’s beloved son’s fate!
No one was a fool; everyone knew that something must have befallen Sikong Yong himself. The rumors of his seclusion were likely concocted by the Sikong Family to prevent panic and to hide the truth.
And thus, the election of a new Gang Leader seemed all the more inevitable.
Outside the Juyi Hall, early in the morning, it was already surrounded by a dense crowd. Although most members of the Giant Whale Gang had no qualification to enter the Juyi Hall for the Gang Leader election, they still waited outside, eager to get the news first-hand!
“Fire Whale Hall Master Zhao Tianhuo has arrived!”
The crowd stirred as a brawny man with fiery red hair, flanked by an entourage, made his way forward. He was one of the four Hall Masters of the Giant Whale Gang, the Fire Whale Hall Master!
“Wind Whale Hall Master Zhang Lingfeng has arrived!”
Following him was an elder, the Hall Master of Wind Whale Hall.
The election of a new Gang Leader was undoubtedly a major event, and it was essential for all four Hall Masters to be present, along with some Deputy Hall Masters who also had the right to offer their input.
With all four Hall Masters of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning in attendance, they led a group of Deputy Hall Masters into the Juyi Hall.
“Deputy Gang Leader Meng Sang has arrived!”
And amidst the waves of excitement from the crowd, Meng Sang was there!
Meng Sang, wearing a blue robe and of a lean build, carried a gravitas of someone accustomed to high office, compelling people to avert their gaze.
