"This person is extremely strong, definitely not as simple as the intelligence suggests. Hiding so deeply, could it be the Seven Forms Sect did this intentionally? In any case, I should inform the gang about this as soon as possible..."
Fei Long's figure displayed far more agility than usual. As he sped along, he had already reached a conclusion in his mind.
However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and slammed it fiercely to one side.
But this strike landed on empty air.
"Illusion!?"
His brows furrowed, but he didn't waste any time. Instead, the speed of his feet increased by two points.
"With such strength, it seems your position in the White Dragon Gang shouldn't be low..."
Just then, an indifferent voice entered his ears, and Fei Long's eyes immediately widened.
Because the voice was close at hand, as if it was spoken right next to his ear.
"Eight Directions Destruction!!"
Fei Long's arm swelled, and terrifying force spread out around him.
The fierce attack created a series of violent air blasts around him. However, the seemingly ferocious offensive quickly came to an abrupt halt.
Because a large crimson hand had firmly gripped his fist.
"Break for me!"
Fei Long was a mix of shock and anger. His muscles rippled, and he didn't hesitate to use a secret technique, unleashing his strength to its Peak.
The fierce power gradually shook open the hand that was gripping his fist.
"Hmm!?"
Feeling the force coming from his palm, Lin Sheng let out a light exclamation, seemingly surprised by the power the opponent unleashed.
But soon, a cruel smile appeared on his face. The large crimson hand swelled up, and instantly, it crushed the opponent's power.
With the crisp sound of bones cracking, the constantly struggling fist in his hand was directly crushed into flesh paste.
Intense pain caused sweat to seep from Fei Long's forehead. It wasn't just because of the pain, but also because of the opponent's terrifying strength, which made him realize that the opponent's power was even higher than he had imagined.
After feeling the gap in strength between them, he immediately spoke.
"I am a Branch Master of the White Dragon Gang. If you kill me, the White Dragon Gang may not let it go easily. Do you want to provoke a conflict between the Seven Forms Sect and the White Dragon Gang?"
"White Dragon Gang Branch Master?"
Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. Let me go, and this matter will be over. I promise I won't trouble you again..."
Feeling the opponent's hand pause, Fei Long struck while the iron was hot and continued speaking.
"Then you must be very rich?"
"Money??"
Fei Long was stunned, not quite reacting.
But the next moment, a large crimson hand in his vision kept getting bigger until it filled his entire eye socket.
Slap!
Fei Long's head was directly detached from his neck, and his body quickly melted like ice and snow under scorching flames, turning into a pool of thick blood.
Only a pile of blood-stained clothes remained on the spot.
Lin Sheng reached into the clothes and took out a few banknotes and two bottles of pills.
"Only this much stuff."
Looking at the four banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels in his hand, Lin Sheng frowned.
He didn't expect that this Fat Man, who had decent strength and seemed to have some status in the White Dragon Gang, would only carry this much stuff on him. It truly disappointed him.
Thinking of the black-clothed corpses all over the ground, he grabbed Fei Long's head, which had wide, terrified eyes, and with a few leaps, he returned to the side of the caravan. Although the chase between the two seemed long, it actually only took two breaths.
At this moment, Lin Sheng returned, and everyone on the scene was frozen in place, staring blankly at the ferocious head in Lin Sheng's hand.
Although the scene that just happened was quick, they saw it clearly, witnessing with their own eyes how the terrifyingly strong Fat Man died tragically at Lin Sheng's hands.
They only felt as if everything was a dream. They originally thought they were doomed this time, but the reversal came too quickly. In just a few breaths, in their eyes, the terrifyingly strong people from the White Dragon Gang were left with only a head.
At this time, Lin Sheng had returned to his normal size. His upper clothing was already torn, but fortunately, his lower body was still intact, so he didn't have to worry about the risk of exposure. He was well aware of his body changes after entering the state, so the clothes he chose were basically loose and quite elastic.
Ignoring the few people, he casually threw the head in his hand onto a carriage. His body swayed, and he quickly arrived in front of A Gou's headless corpse, quickly searching him.
This time, his eyes lit up. He took out a thick stack of banknotes from his clothes.
A rough estimate showed there were at least 20-odd notes, but after seeing the denominations on them, he was somewhat speechless.
Among these 20-odd banknotes, most were banknotes with a face value of one hundred yuan, while there were only three large banknotes with a face value of one thousand yuan.
He unceremoniously pocketed these banknotes. Lin Sheng's gaze then fell on another item found on A Gou.
It was a small red cloth package the size of a palm, which contained several reddish oval pebbles.
"This is..."
Looking at these things, Lin Sheng was first stunned, but soon realized something, and his brows furrowed.
He put these things back into the red cloth package.
He exerted force in his hand, and A Gou's thin body in front of him shattered.
He didn't stop and continued to quickly search the black-clothed corpses on the ground.
Soon, he had thoroughly searched the corpses.
The total amount of money and valuables he collected together was around thirteen thousand.
Such a harvest would have made him overjoyed in the past, but now he felt a sense of boredom.
"Are the people from the White Dragon Gang all so poor? Do they only have this much money on them?"
Looking at the stack of banknotes and some Small change in his hand, he sighed lightly.
Originally, he had quite high expectations for this robbery. After all, they had robbed several caravans, and even several Blood Transportation Realm escorts had died at the hands of the bandits. Their worth should have been considerable.
He didn't expect the opponent's identity to be not as simple as just bandits.
He knew very well that the money in his hand was only a small part of what these people had. The real bulk wouldn't be carried on them.
It was a pity that these people were from the White Dragon Gang. If they were really just bandits, he would have unceremoniously forced more benefits out of them.
But the White Dragon Gang was different. As one of the major forces in Wanhua City, there were quite a few Bones Transformation Realm experts within its gates.
Its strength was no less than that of the Seven Forms Sect, and recently, its development momentum was strong, even showing signs of suppressing the increasingly low-key Seven Forms Sect.
He also had some guesses about this attack. He knew very well that it involved a major force like the White Dragon Gang and could not be taken lightly.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to foolishly force the opponent to take him to the city to retrieve those so-called benefits. Otherwise, he might not get the benefits and would instead be targeted by the White Dragon Gang's experts, putting himself in danger.
To prevent the opponent from having any communication methods he didn't know about, he resolutely launched a killing blow, not giving him a chance to react and directly killing him.
Since there were no more benefits to be gained, he returned to the side of the carriage.
At this time, the original transport team had few members left, only Cao Ying, Cao Luan, the severely injured Wu Hai, and a few Blade Breaking Escort Agency escorts who were wounded.
"This operation is canceled. We will return now."
Lin Sheng scanned over the people and said indifferently.
"Okay, we will do as Gongzi Lin says."
Cao Ying reacted and immediately responded, without the slightest reluctance towards the goods on this trip.
When she recognized the people from the White Dragon Gang, she knew that this matter was no longer something she could handle.
Cao Luan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the head with wide, angry eyes on the carriage next to him, he still didn't dare to speak. He just kept scanning Lin Sheng with his eyes, the disbelief on his face still not dissipating.
"This Young Hero Lin... This time, our Blade Breaking Escort Agency suffered heavy losses, so we will return to Linjiang Prefecture City first. We will meet again in the future."
At this time, Wu Hai cupped his fists towards Lin Sheng and said with some hesitation. He had already seen that if he didn't leave now, he might get caught in some kind of vortex. It was better to get out early.
Lin Sheng's gaze fell on Wu Hai and the others.
Wu Hai subconsciously trembled in his heart. He understood that the young man in front of him, who looked not much older, was extremely terrifyingly strong, far above him.
The few escorts next to him also subconsciously gripped the weapons in their hands and looked at Lin Sheng vigilantly.
They had just finished dealing with their opponents and didn't see what had happened just now, but they felt an indescribable sense of danger emanating from the person in front of them.
The atmosphere in the field was somewhat tense. After a long while, until sweat covered Wu Hai's forehead, he finally felt the pressure from the opposite side lighten.
"Since that's the case, then everyone can go back. However, you still need to know what should be said and what shouldn't be said."
Lin Sheng's calm voice sounded.
Wu Hai quickly spoke.
"Young Hero Lin, please rest assured, I, Old Wu, know this very well."
After saying that, he didn't delay and pulled a few fast horses from the caravan. The few people hurried away.
Watching their figures disappear into the distance, Lin Sheng didn't stay long either. After all, if too much time passed, it was possible that the White Dragon Gang would notice and send more experts, which would be troublesome.
At this time, only Lin Sheng, Cao Luan, and Cao Ying remained in the field.
"Let's go."
He glanced at the two of them and then got into the carriage.
Cao Ying and Cao Luan were responsible for driving the carriage.
The carriage turned around and headed back the way they came.
They didn't stop along the way.
Soon, two days passed.
It wasn't until they arrived in front of a large mountain that the carriage stopped.
This was not Wanhua City, but the location of the Seven Forms Sect headquarters.
"You two rest at the foot of the mountain first."
He let Cao Luan and Cao Ying wait in the village at the foot of the mountain, while Lin Sheng, holding a black cloth package in his hand, quickly walked up the mountain.
One hour later.
Seven Forms Sect Main Peak Hall.
"People from the White Dragon Gang attacked my Seven Forms Sect Disciples!?"
Ouyang Bing sat in the upper seat, looking at the bloody head below the hall, his brows slightly furrowed.
"That's right, Sect Leader. This head belongs to a Branch Master of the White Dragon Gang named Fei Long. This person attacked my Disciple while he was out. Fortunately, my Disciple had already broken through to the Blood Transportation Realm before leaving the city, and with the assistance of an expert from the Blade Breaking Escort Agency in the Fu City, he was barely able to kill him. Sect Leader, we must demand an explanation from the White Dragon Gang for this matter."
Next to the head in the hall, Xie Qingyun said in a deep voice. There was a hint of anger on her face, clearly quite upset about this attack.
"Fei Long? I've heard my Disciples mention him. This person is considered one of the top five experts among the Branch Masters in the White Dragon Gang. I didn't expect Junior Sister Xie's Disciple, who just broke through, could kill this person. Even with the assistance of the people from the Blade Breaking Escort Agency, Junior Sister's Disciple is truly remarkable. No wonder Junior Sister is so anxious."
The person who spoke was Yuan Zhongfei, the head of Jin Yuan Yard.
His real name was Yuan Rong. Later, after joining the Seven Forms Sect, he was given the name Zhongfei by his previous generation's Master. Therefore, he was basically known as Yuan Zhongfei within the Seven Forms Sect.
After saying that, Yuan Zhongfei's tone suddenly shifted, and he looked at Xie Qingyun with a half-smile.
"But Junior Sister, are you aware that this Fei Long is one of Shi Gu's men, the Third Master of the White Dragon Gang? As far as I know, he is highly regarded by Shi Gu. Shi Gu is quite protective of his subordinates. Now that his favored subordinate is dead, he probably won't let it go easily after he receives the news."
"Senior Brother Yuan, what do you mean by that? The people from the White Dragon Gang attacked my Seven Forms Sect Disciple first, and losing his life is well-deserved. What can Shi Gu do if he doesn't let it go easily? We must go to the White Dragon Gang and demand an explanation for this matter, otherwise, how will others view our Seven Forms Sect in the future?"
Xie Qingyun raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Yuan Zhongfei, saying in a deep voice.
"What Junior Sister said is reasonable. If it was truly the White Dragon Gang's people attacking a Seven Forms Sect Disciple without reason, we naturally cannot ignore it."
Yuan Zhongfei nodded, seemingly in full agreement with Xie Qingyun's words, but soon he showed a hint of a smile again.
"But Junior Sister Xie, is it possible that this matter was caused by a personal conflict between your Disciple and Fei Long? If it was a personal conflict, and a life has been lost, I don't think it's necessary to escalate it to the sect level."
"Hmph, personal grudge? My Disciple has only been in Wanhua City for a few months, and most of the time he has been in seclusion cultivating. How could he possibly provoke these people from the White Dragon Gang?"
Xie Qingyun snorted coldly and glared at Yuan Zhongfei. Since the last time she was the first to come out and veto his suggestion about competing for that batch of beast ore, the other party had been targeting her from time to time.
She herself disliked conflict and was indifferent to some minor losses and hidden disadvantages, but this time, she could not tolerate it. Her Disciple was threatened, so how could she, as a Master, stand by and do nothing? This was her bottom line. Even the White Dragon Gang had to give an explanation, especially since, in her opinion, this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
With a flip of her wrist, a small red cloth package appeared in her hand. With a release of force, the package shattered, revealing several red pebble-like objects inside.
"Sect Leader, these Blazing Rocks were also searched from these people by my Disciple. These Blazing Rocks are unique concealed weapons of the Crimson Whale Hall. These people from the White Dragon Gang carried these things and attacked my Disciples. Isn't the matter clear enough!?"
"Clearly, the people from the White Dragon Gang intended to use this to provoke a conflict between our Seven Forms Sect and the Crimson Whale Hall."
Speaking of this, Xie Qingyun paused and looked at Yuan Zhongfei, who had a somewhat strange expression.
"I even suspect that the increasing friction between our Seven Forms Sect and the major forces during this period is also the work of the White Dragon Gang... We can take this opportunity to hold the White Dragon Gang accountable, and perhaps directly nip this issue in the bud."
