Chapter 195: Chapter 100 Unparalleled in the World Turtle Breath Technique! Gather Qi into Armor! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_1
In the Giant Whale Gang, with the re-emergence of Gang Leader Sikong Yong, a major purge occurred within the gang’s power structure. The faction loyal to Meng Sang was completely destroyed, and from then on, there was only one voice within the Giant Whale Gang!
“Dad, you were so imposing just now!”
In a room, Sikong Huang couldn’t help but tease.
Perfect! Su Changkong’s performance today was indeed perfect!
If it had gone as originally planned, intimidating the four Hall Masters to take down Meng Sang, even the smoothest outcome would have been achieved. Even so, getting rid of Meng Sang might have left the disciples of the Giant Whale Gang with doubts.
However, Su Changkong took action directly, displaying overwhelming strength in front of everyone to blast Meng Sang to death, something that was completely unexpected by Sikong Huang and Sikong Wen, and could be described as perfect!
Demonstrating the power to crush Meng Sang left no one doubting that this Sikong Yong was an imposter; they all believed that Sikong Yong had simply forgotten the time during his many years of seclusion.
Su Changkong found it somewhat amusing; he first nearly became Sikong Huang’s fiancé, then her elder brother, and now he was impersonating her father. It sure was fate!
“With Meng Sang dealt with, I won’t need to hide anymore, but I can’t keep pretending to be Gang Leader Sikong forever. Your Sikong Family had better select a new leader soon. When the time comes, I’ll use the excuse of Sikong Yong going on a long journey to pass the leadership to him,”
Su Changkong said to Sikong Huang.
Su Changkong had no intention of impersonating Sikong Yong forever; he had already thought of how to handle the situation later on.
All he needed to do was wait for the Giant Whale Gang’s situation to stabilize before impersonating Sikong Yong one more time to pass on the leadership role. That would solve everything perfectly!
Of course, Su Changkong was not in a hurry. Now that Meng Sang was dead, the Giant Whale Gang was a place where he could cultivate in peace. He would continue his cultivation until there was no more advancement to make before seeking another path. As of now, Su Changkong was far from that point.
Alchemy, archery, and even his Martial Arts realm, all still had tremendous room for improvement!
“Mm, third brother, I really owe you my thanks,” Sikong Huang also restrained her smile, expressing her gratitude with utmost sincerity.
If it wasn’t for Su Changkong, Meng Sang would have definitely succeeded in taking the position of Gang Leader today. And once Meng Sang had risen to power with his character, he would certainly have purged all dissidents, leaving the Sikong Family with no room to survive in the Giant Whale Gang.
At the same time, Sikong Huang sighed in secret, feeling sorrowful. If Sikong Zhan were still here, he would have been the best candidate to take over as Gang Leader. However, he was caught in the Blue Rain Sea incident a few months ago and most likely had already met with misfortune.
Aside from Sikong Zhan, the Sikong Family really couldn’t find a suitable candidate in the short term!
“It’s what I should do,” Su Changkong shook his head, feeling nothing special about it. He had taken the benefits afforded by the Sikong Family, so naturally, he had to do his best to help settle this matter, which was also closely related to his own interests!
Meng Sang’s death and the re-emergence of Sikong Yong after years of seclusion was no small news in Ink Forest Prefecture City; everyone knew that the king of the Giant Whale Gang had returned!
Deep within the Blue Rain Sea, on a desolate island inaccessible to outsiders, stood a number of buildings with watchtowers, armored men patrolling back and forth, and one could see huge but partly damaged ships docked at the edges of the island.
This was the base of the Ghost Pirate Group, a name that struck fear into the hearts of those in the Blue Rain Sea.
There were Eighteen Pirates in the Blue Rain Sea, and each one led a formidable Sea Pirate Group, living off plundering the ships passing through the Blue Rain Sea and conducting their own maritime trade, accumulating wealth and a vast number of troops.
The Ghost Pirate Group was ranked fifth among them, led by the famous Shattered Soul Hand Li Hun of the Ink Forest Prefecture City!
“Damn it… Do we still have to feed this thing? He’s killed dozens of our brothers!”
Outside the prison where captives were held at the Ghost Pirate Group’s base, several pirates looked back at the prison, with one of them unable to help cursing fiercely.
“What can we do? It’s the leader’s order to capture and imprison him alive. He’s probably planning to use his life to negotiate with the Giant Whale Gang,”
another pirate responded, shaking his head.
Sikong Zhan had not perished.
During the incident when three Sea Pirate Groups had emerged in full force and the Black Whale was destroyed, Sikong Zhan, out of a sense of responsibility and consideration for the others, knew that most of the pirates’ attention was on him. Thus, he stayed behind to hold off the enemy and buy time.
Surrounded and fighting with all his might, Sikong Zhan inevitably met defeat and was unable to resist.
But instead of killing Sikong Zhan, the pirates had captured him alive; the reason being, of course, that they would benefit least from killing him outright, considering his identity as the Young Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
Inside the prison, Sikong Zhan leaned against a corner. He was haggard, having lost a lot of weight, and his clothes were stained with dried blood.
During the several months of being a captive, Sikong Zhan endured much torture, often facing the mockery and bullying of the pirates. And to prevent him from escaping or causing trouble, not only would they put suppressive drugs in his food, but every so often, Li Hun would personally break multiple bones in his body to ensure he posed no threat to them.
Of course, even without such measures, Sikong Zhan had no realistic chance of escaping from this island, surrounded on all sides by the sea and pirates.
Sikong Zhan endured tremendous torment, both physically and mentally. Another person might have despaired to the point of suicide, but Sikong Zhan clenched his teeth and silently bore it all. His father had taught him that dying in battle was honorable, but suicide was an act of cowardice. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he needed to keep holding on!
