Inside his private room, the leader of the Axe Gang, Jin An beamed radiantly. Just moments before, he’d sessfully broken through, going from the sky immortal level to an early-stage immortal king. His current strength was enough to absolutely suppress the rest of the Profound Great District.


    “Gang Leader!” The two elders had stood guard in front of his private room for a long time now. When they sensed their boss’s spiritual undtions, they hurriedly greeted him. “Congrattions, Gang Leader, on breaking through!”


    “Hahaha, thank you!”


    Jin An was in an absolutely wonderful mood, so he took two pills from his spatial ring and tossed them to the elders.


    “Human immortal pills!”


    Both elders were already earth immortals, so human immortal pills were no longer useful for them. However, they could still give them to their descendants. In the resource-starved seventy-two districts, this was already a generous gift.


    The elders put the pills into their spatial rings and bowed. “Thank you, Gang Leader.”


    He chuckled and waved, but just as he was about to leave, he realized that the two elders seemed as if they had something to stay, but were struggling to get it out.


    He hated nothing more than others keeping things from him, so his smile instantly frosted over. “What are you hiding from me?”


    As Jin An’s aura bore down on them, the two elders grit their teeth and said, “Something happened to Base Leader, Huang Aogu, who you sent to Raging me City, as his favorite subordinate, Zhao Ye. A little less than a month ago, their jade slips shattered.”


    Boom!


    Jin An’s vast aura instantly overflowed. Soon, his body crackled with lightning.


    “What!?”


    The Axe Gang usually used their discussion hall for meetings. The decorations weren’t particrly luxurious, but they were extremely imposing.


    The room waspletely ck and somber. There were two coiling dragon pirs in its center.


    The dragons were missing their eyes, but they were still iparably ferocious.


    The Axe Gang elders and visiting retainers qualified to participate in meetings all entered the meeting hall. Jin An sat in front, his stalwart form crackling with pale white electricity as he glowered darkly at the man kneeling and trembling on the floor. This was none other than the janitor tasked with sweeping the ancestral hall.


    “Speak.”


    “Re...reporting to the Gang Leader. I’m the servant who sweeps the ancestral hall. A few days ago, this humble one was about to go sweep up as usual.....”


    “Get to the point!”


    “The jade slips containing traces of Base Leader Aogu and Captain Zhao Ye’s souls shattered.”


    The servant trembled incessantly. At that moment, the elder standing to Jin An’s left took the two shattered jade slips from his spatial ring and passed them to Jin An.


    “Aogu....”


    When he saw Huang Aogu’s shattered spirit tablet, Jin An’s body trembled violently.


    In the entire Axe Gang, he liked Huang Aogu’s personality the most. Whenever he looked at him, Jin An recalled himself when he was Huang Aogu’s age.


    He had no children. Although he’d never officially adopted Huang Aogu, their rtionship was even closer than father and step-son.


    After establishing their base in Raging me City, there were numerous gang members more qualified to lead it than Huang Aogu, but Jin An promoted him anyway.


    His goal was to train him, so that in the future, Huang Aogu could take over as gang leader.


    After exiting seclusion, he’d nned on transferring Huang Aogu back to the main base. As soon as Jin An became an immortal king, he’d go the Green Gang to serve as an elder. He’d hoped to take this opportunity to instruct Huang Aogu in how best to lead the gang going forward, but then this happened.....


    “Aogu!” As he clenched the shattered tablet, Jin An lost control over his emotions. He set the jade slip aside, then glowered at everyone in the meeting hall.


    “Who the hell did it? Who killed Aogu?” His roar was like thunder. Lightning crackled around him, filling the surrounding air and shooting toward his confidants.


    Terrifying pressure bore down on them. The others didn’t dare so much as breathe too loudly. Only the elder standing to his left could bear the pressure. He walked to the center of the meeting. “Reporting to the Gang Leader, after Base Leader Huang passed away, he started an investigation. Our base in Raging mes City is now upied by a new gang, Upheaval. This new gang is primarilyposed of former members of our Raging me City base. Its leader is a former vice-captain, and its second inmand was the base’s former second-ranked captain.”


    “It was them?” growled Jin An.


    “ording to our investigations, no. Although the two of them are currently leading Upheaval, their strength is insufficient to threaten Huang Aogu’s life. After thoroughly examining the situation, we discovered that a month ago, Base Leader Huang’s trusted confidant provoked a mysterious expert surnamed ‘Ye.’ Base Leader Huang wanted to avenge his subordinate, so he went looking for that expert. Not long after, he died in battle. If I’m not mistaken, that Ye guy should be the true murderer. “


    “Since you’ve already investigated, why didn’t you go ahead and avenge Base Leader Huang?” Jin An’s gazee instantly darkened. Beneath this icy gaze, even the gang’s grand elder was soon drenched in cold sweats.


    “Gang Leader, you had let to leave seclusion, so we.....”


    “Where is he now?” interrupted Jin An before the elder could finish his excuse.


    “He’s in Raging mes City!” replied the elder.


    “Alright.” Jin An nodded coolly, then looked at his subordinates. “Take three thousand elites and go capture Aogu’s murderer. I want him alive. Also, about that Upheaval gang.... I don’t want to see it go on existing.”


    “Yes, sir!”


    The meeting hall instantly grew cold and cheerless. Jin An leaned into his chair and stared at the shattered jade slip.....


    “Don’t worry, Aogu. I’ll avenge you. I’ll crush your murderer’s bones into pulp and tear his body into a million pieces so he’ll never, ever, ever be reborn!”


    ....


    “Sweetie, you’re so slow!”


    On the ancient path outside Raging me City, Chi Mei was still feigning cuteness. When she spoke to Ye Zichen, she spoke as adorably as she possibly could.


    To tell the truth, this sort of childish, cutesy voice had no effect on Ye Zichen, who didn’t know quite what to say.


    “Can you please just act normal?” he pleaded helplessly.


    “If you take me as your dao partner, I can act normal again, okay, sweetie?” Chi Mei batted her eyes electrically. Clearly, Ye Zichen’s rebuke hadn’t dissuaded her. For the past few days, it was fair that she’d tried every technique she knew to get him to ept her as his dao partner.


    “I’ve seen all sorts of things before, but this is truly my first time seeing someone push so hard to be a stranger’s dao partner.” Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly. “Can you just quit pestering me already?”


    “No way! I’ve always been so cute. Why don’t you like me?”


    “I already have a dao partner! Actually, I have more than one!”


    “Then what difference does adding me make? Just ept me already!”


    Were women of the God Realm all this open? Lil’ Honghong hadn’t cared about his other women either.


    “Tell me, what can I do to get you to act normal again?” Said Ye Zichen helplessly. “I’ll do anything, so long as I’m capable of it.”


    “Really?”


    “Really!”


    “Then.... Sweetie, I want a Sea Condensing Pill!”
