Chapter 30 caused a sensation within the gang! The gang leader was grooming him!
Early the next morning.
The entire Blackrock City was in an uproar.
All the martial arts practitioners were taken aback.
The headquarters of the Red Sand Gang was filled with elders and leaders, causing a commotion.
Inside the large council hall, everyone wore a somber expression.
Even Chen Xuan was summoned early in the morning and mingled in the crowd, deliberately wearing a gloomy expression.
In the very center of the hall, two mangled corpses lay on stretchers, coming into view.
All the well-known experts in the gang have stepped forward to investigate.
The perpetrator was exceptionally vicious, shattering the bones and meridians of Elder Ge and Elder Fang...
From the outside, it was impossible to tell what kind of martial arts the other party was using.
"Boss, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Whoever did it must be made to pay the price!"
"Right Protector Xiang Tao said through gritted teeth."
"Investigate? How do you investigate?"
Gang leader Hong Wentong, his face contorted with rage and his aura terrifying, roared, "One was murdered in the street, the other in their home! How are you going to investigate this? Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
Xiang Tao's expression immediately changed, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
He knew perfectly well that this matter could not be investigated.
But how can we do it without taking a stance?
"Chief, Elder Ge and Elder Fang were always kind and rarely offended anyone. The fact that they were both murdered at the same time, judging from their injuries, clearly indicates the work of the same killer!"
Zuo Qiuyun couldn't help but say in a low voice, "We'd better investigate and see if these two elders have offended anyone recently. If not, could it be retaliation from the Giant Whale Gang or the Thirteen Golden Dragon Stronghold?"
During this period, the Red Sand Gang has been expanding relentlessly, clashing with both the Giant Whale Gang and the Thirteen Golden Dragon Stronghold, and taking a lot of their spoils.
These two forces harbor resentment and may very well be seeking revenge in secret.
"good!"
A shadowy glint flashed in Hong Wentong's eyes as he coldly ordered, "Investigate who these two elders have offended recently. Also, keep an eye on the movements of the Giant Whale Gang and the Thirteen Golden Dragon Stronghold. Report anything suspicious immediately!"
"Yes, Boss!"
The crowd cupped their hands in greeting.
Hong Wentong's face darkened, and he immediately got up and left.
Then everyone dispersed.
"Master Chen..."
Suddenly, a calm and gentle voice came from behind Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan turned around to look.
Zuo Qiuyun, dressed in a scholar's robe and with a smile on her face, walked towards him.
"I have met the Left Protector."
"No need to be so polite."
The Left Protector smiled slightly and said, "Last time I sent Elder Ge to see you, and Elder Ge mentioned that you seem to still be angry with me, is that right?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"Looks like she's still angry."
The Left Protector sighed softly and said, "Actually, I also have my own reasons for not being able to help myself. Our Red Sand Gang is too big, and too many people are watching me. I can only put on a show for my subordinates. In fact, I still value you very much. Let bygones be bygones."
"You're too kind, Left Protector."
Chen Xuan answered honestly, but sneered inwardly.
Let bygones be bygones?
You want to kill me, bro!
"Why don't you come over to my place later and we can talk?"
"The Left Protector said calmly."
"Well... there are other matters to attend to at the dock, and I'm afraid I cannot stay any longer!"
Chen Xuan refused.
"Yeah?"
Zuo Qiuyun gave Chen Xuan a meaningful look and said, "Very well, then you can go back. Elder Ge died a tragic death. I wonder who could possess such abilities!"
He patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan looked at Zuo Qiuyun with surprise and doubt in his eyes.
Is this a sign of self-doubt?
Also.
He ordered Elder Ge to kill him, but now he's unharmed, while Elder Ge is dead...
How could he not doubt himself in this matter?
Anyone with eyes can tell who did it.
"However, although he suspected me, he dared not tell anyone, because if he did, the gang leader would be the first to punish him..."
A multitude of thoughts suddenly flooded Chen Xuan's mind.
The person the gang leader fears most right now is clearly Zuo Qiuyun!
No, I need to become stronger again.
Keeping Zuo Qiuyun around will only cause trouble sooner or later!
"Master Chen..."
Suddenly, Su Qingliu ran over and said, "The gang leader wants to see you in person."
"Does the boss want to see me?"
Chen Xuan's pupils widened slightly in surprise.
Could it be that even the gang leader has doubts about him?
"What did you say?"
He asked calmly.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing."
Su Qingliu said, "The situation inside and outside the gang has been quite turbulent lately. Several branch leaders have already died tragically, and now two elders have also perished. The gang leader probably wants to groom you for a position. You'll find out once you go there."
"Yeah?"
Chen Xuan considered the matter, but still followed.
If the gang leader really wanted to take him down, he could have killed him back in the main hall.
There's absolutely no need for him to meet alone again.
Since they're meeting alone, it's probably not a bad thing.
Not long after.
Led by Su Qingliu, he entered the backyard.
The spacious courtyard is filled with various green plants, creating a beautiful environment filled with the fragrance of flowers, offering a unique and picturesque scene.
Gang leader Hong Wentong is quietly watering the plants with a watering can.
He was no longer recognizable as the angry man he had been earlier.
"Greetings, Chief!"
Chen Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
"You've come!"
Hong Wentong casually replied, setting the showerhead aside and calmly turning to look at Chen Xuan, saying, "How does it feel to have defeated Lu Yao?"
"Feelings? Nothing special."
Chen Xuan pondered.
"You know, Lu Yao is the beloved daughter of the Giant Whale Gang leader. In terms of talent, she ranks among the top five in the entire Blackstone City. She has been humiliated by you like this, and the Giant Whale Gang will definitely not let this go easily. I'm afraid countless troubles will come looking for you later. Aren't you afraid? Putting aside everything else, just the disciples of those martial arts schools in the city, I estimate that many of them want to avenge Lu Yao!"
Hong Wentong laughed.
"Afraid? I've risked my life for the gang, so what if I was afraid? Did I really have to be a coward back then? Wouldn't that have been a disgrace to the Red Sand Gang?"
Chen Xuan patted his chest: "Besides, I, Chen Xuan, can do anything, except be a coward!"
"Well said."
A strange look appeared in Hong Wentong's eyes.
Whether these words are true or false, Chen Xuan did indeed put them into action.
Being able to defeat Lu Yao proves everything.
"I heard from Qingliu that you also practiced the Vajra Fist?"
Hong Wentong smiled and said, "Gather all your strength and try it on me."
He slowly extended one hand and held it up in front of him.
"this..."
"Go ahead and try it!"
Hong Wentong said calmly.
"Yes, Boss!"
Chen Xuan responded.
For a moment, he wondered if the gang leader was testing him.
If he were to unleash his full power, the gang leader would surely discover that he possesses the strength to completely overwhelm Elders Ge and Fang. At that point, without any investigation, the leader would know that he was the one who did it.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan took a light breath, his muscles tensed instantly, and his veins bulged like a giant dragon. He suddenly stepped forward and threw a punch at Hong Wentong's palm.
boom!
The sound exploded, and the air surged.
Hong Wentong remained motionless.
Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly. He felt as if his punch had hit cotton or a vortex. All the power was quickly broken down and dissolved, as if it had no effect at all.
"Transformation of internal energy?"
He looked surprised.
"Yes, that's the 'Transformation of Strength'!"
Hong Wentong said calmly, "It seems you've grasped the basics of Vajra Fist."
"I'm a beginner."
Chen Xuan responded.
"Not bad."
Hong Wentong nodded and said, "To be able to master the Vajra Fist in just two days, this talent far surpasses that of ordinary people. Even Qingliu took about a month to master it."
Su Qingliu, standing to one side, had a complex expression on her face and sighed deeply.
"You're too kind, Boss."
Chen Xuan cupped his hands in greeting.
"Chen Xuan, I intend to train you, but I am worried that you will not be able to win over the masses, so I have temporarily placed you in the Clear Water Detachment."
Hong Wentong gently patted his shoulder and smiled, "When the time is right, I will promote you to elder. Here are five Blood Qi Pills, take them and use them first."
He casually picked up a white jade bottle from the side and handed it to Chen Xuan.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Chen Xuan respectfully accepted it.
"As for the secret manuals, don't worry. Once you've mastered them, you can come to me anytime to apply for them. I'm never stingy with geniuses."
Hong Wentong said.
"Yes, Boss!"
Chen Xuan thanked him again.
"Okay, go ahead."
Hong Wentong said calmly.
"This subordinate takes his leave!"
Chen Xuan clasped his fists together and immediately retreated from the area.
