Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 314 - 129: A Slaughter Where Everybody Wins

Chapter 314: Chapter 129: A Slaughter Where Everybody Wins

Honestly, the underground forces of the Divine Wood Sect are quite chaotic. Every night, a lot of people die in these dark alleys..."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Arrange to meet with Wolf; I want to see the Black Wolf Gang Leader."

...

...

That night, at a restaurant, the sounds of clinking glasses were interspersed with laughter.

After three rounds of drinks, Qian Da brought a burly man to a private room and said with a smile to the man, "Wolf, this is our boss. He wants to meet your gang leader."

Wolf scrutinized the man with the mask, about to speak when he suddenly fell to one knee with a thud.

In the cramped space of the private room, the sound of blood pounding against skin echoed like river waters slapping against rocks, filling one with dread.

...

...

At dawn.

At the First Gate, a deep alley was buzzing with activity.

From the outside, the alley looked somewhat decrepit, but inside it was rather lavish and spacious, even featuring a vast underground square that was brightly lit and bustling with silhouettes.

Dice clattered loudly, and men shouted fervently with words like "open, open, open" and "big, big, big."

Women with heavy makeup giggled, waving handkerchiefs perfumed with rouge, charmingly calling out, "Gentlemen, come and play."

In some rooms, men hurriedly pulled giggling young women inside.

In others, red-eyed gamblers, stripped to their underwear, were thrown out.

In the dark corners, bodies were being dragged away, leaving a trail of blood that was quickly washed away with water.

Outside, groups of three or five disciples patrolled the night.

Before long...

Deeper in the alley...

The Black Wolf Gang Leader sat at the central spot of the inner hall, beneath a sign reading "225~245."

This brawny man was originally craning his neck and swinging his legs, watching as his nephew led in a "broker behind the scenes," but in the next instant... his neck straightened, and his legs stopped swinging. He suddenly stood up, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.

In his eyes, the masked man entering wasn’t the kind of boss he imagined but rather a fierce beast overflowing with vitality.

Wearing a mask, he could understand...

But the intense pressure and unabashed aura made him feel he was frozen stiff.

Li Yuan waved his hand, speaking hoarsely, "You all leave first; I have some serious business to discuss with the gang leader."

Qian Da, hooking an arm around Wolf’s shoulder, smiled and said, "Don’t worry, don’t you trust me? My boss is easy to get along with, very measured, and really just wants to do business."

In a moment...

With a creak, the door closed.

Li Yuan walked forward.

The Black Wolf Gang Leader steadied his mind, gesturing for him to "have a seat."

But Li Yuan kept walking...

The Black Wolf Gang Leader widened his eyes and asked, "Your purpose here..."

Before he could finish, he saw the striding boss had vanished into thin air.

The gang leader realized, blood surging, covering his hand as he thrust it forward, with the wind slicing sharply through the air, shouting, "Someone!!!"

But in comparison to that oncoming force, this wind was akin to the flicker of a firefly against the bright moon in the sky.

In the next instant, Li Yuan was already before him, lifting him up.

The Black Wolf Gang Leader shouted, "Let go, let go," punching Li Yuan with all his might, but it was like a weak damsel punching a brawny man with no effect...

Li Yuan paid no mind, simply catching his hand and securely placing the "Human Skin Handcuffs" on it.

The benefit of their own "Human Skin Handcuffs" was just that.

No tests, no need to worry about people’s hearts changing—just put it on anyone below Grade Seven, and they’ll be loyal to you.

As soon as the "Human Skin Handcuffs" were put on, they seeped into the Black Wolf Gang Leader’s wrist, triggering a momentary daze in his pupils before they returned to normal.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from outside.

Soon, the main door of the inner hall was pushed open, and a group of Black Wolf Gang disciples rushed in.

At the forefront, a long-haired, bearded man shouted, "Big brother, what happened?"

The Black Wolf Gang Leader’s face was serious, the atmosphere a bit tense, but in the next instant, he laughed heartily, breaking the tension.

"Of course... we’re holding a banquet!!! Hahaha!"

...

...

Li Yuan did not attend the Black Wolf Gang’s banquet, while the gang leader Wang Linji drank two pots happily with Qian Da.

After the banquet, Wang Linji went to the back hall, half-kneeling before Li Yuan, saying, "Master."

After confirming the Black Wolf Gang’s insignificant standing and lack of association with the Divine Wood Sect, as well as no Sixth Grade powerhouses at the First Gate, Li Yuan said, "Investigate which Flying Banner Gang members provoked the Hengwu Restaurant today."

"Yes, Master."

...

...

The next evening.

"Reporting to the Master, those provoking the Hengwu Restaurant were members of the Flying Banner Gang’s southern branch, and today it was still the same group."

Wang Linji reported respectfully.

He held deep admiration for the Master.

Li Yuan pondered and asked, "Is tonight a good night for killing?"

"Anytime is a good time as long as it’s your command, Master!" Wang Linji licked his lips and added, "Should we kill the Flying Banner Gang’s southern branch?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Wang Linji solemnly said, "The southern branch has some experts. I’m afraid I won’t return alive, Mas..."

Before he could finish, Li Yuan interrupted, "I’ll go too, but I’ll just be a newly recruited disciple in your gang. You can call me Pan Feng."

...

That night...

The Flying Banner Sect’s southern branch was wiped out.

However, gang fights are commonplace, and the Government cannot intervene casually.

...

The next day, the Hengwu Restaurant stabilized.

...

Days later,

The Black Wolf Gang faced an attack.

The attackers were annihilated.

...

The following day.

The Flying Banner Sect’s western branch was wiped out.

...

A week later.

The Hengwu Restaurant encountered trouble...

That night, the Flying Banner Sect’s northern branch was wiped out.

...

...

"You brat! How dare you make a move! Since you struck, I will not stand idle!"

The Ancestor of the Guo Family was almost driven mad, his composure vanished...

He thought for a moment, made a decision, and said, "Someone, take the token and tell the Flying Banner Sect’s eastern branch to smash the Hengwu Restaurant tomorrow. This time... I’ll disguise myself and go with them!!

Heh, he dares bully the weak, so will I!

I won’t play games, I will go myself to kill you!"

So, a fast horse raced out of the mansion.

An hour later...

A figure clad in snow-white, followed by four disciples of the Divine Wood Hall, appeared at the Guo Family.

Seeing this figure, the Ancestor of the Guo Family hurried forward and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Hall Master Jing!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This figure was another Vice Hall Master of the Divine Wood Hall—Jing Baikou.

Jing Baikou said blandly, "Enough, with enemies at the gate, do not stir conflict... Li Yuan has ties with Lady Hall Master, and thus aligns his fate with ours. Why quarrel over trivial matters?"

Guo Guangdan’s expression shifted several times before he finally said respectfully, "Since Hall Master Jing intervenes, I will... spare him this time. Henceforth, I will cease troubling him."

Jing Baikou nodded and departed with the four disciples.

...

...

A week later.

Jing Baikou was praised within the sect for mediating the conflict between Elder Guo and Li Yuan.

Guo Fanghai of the Guo Family, supported by Vice Hall Master Jing, was smoothly inaugurated as the new Elder.

At Li Yuan’s residence at No. 78 Peach Blossom Lane, several envoys arrived.

The envoys carried portraits, the women in the portraits gentle and gracefully poised.

They came for... a marriage alliance.
