As he spoke, the young man quickly looked behind him, and froze the next second.
There was no one behind him.
"Ok?"
The gang members were also taken aback.
How come the person I just saw disappeared in the next second?
"What the hell?"
The young man was dumbfounded.
……
"Boss, you seem to have something on your mind."
In a study at the Money Gang's headquarters, a scholar-looking man with a mustache spoke to the person in front of him.
This person is the leader of the Money Gang.
The leader of the Money Gang stared out the window, lost in thought. After hearing what the man with the mustache said, he didn't speak, but sighed inwardly and sat down at his desk, staring blankly at the desk.
The scholar with the mustache stepped forward and saw a piece of paper on the desk with a portrait of a person drawn on it.
The scholar, confident in his abilities, smiled slightly, opened his folding fan, and began to speak.
"Is the Chief thinking about the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, a family heirloom of the Fuwei Escort Agency?"
The leader of the Money Gang didn't hide his thoughts and nodded.
The scholar shook his head and said, "It is said that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was created by Lin Yuantu, the founder of the Fuwei Escort Agency, who was invincible in the past with his seventy-two moves of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Countless masters were defeated by him, which is enough to show how powerful the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is."
The scholar's words caused the leader of the Money Gang to change his expression repeatedly.
The scholar closed his folding fan and touched the portrait on his desk.
"It is now widely rumored in the martial arts world that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual of the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency is in this person's hands. Whoever can get the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from him may become the number one martial artist in the world today, and even Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple and Master Dongfang of Sun Moon Sect will not be his match."
The scholar's words intensified the leader of the Money Gang's emotions, but also made him more melancholy.
The leader of the Money Gang sighed, got up from his desk and went to the window again, saying leisurely, "Yes, whoever can get the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from King Ning may be the next number one in the world."
The scholar also said in a troubled tone, "I've just heard that Ning Yanwang is not someone to be trifled with. Although he is young, his martial arts skills are unfathomable. He even killed Zuo Lengchan, the former leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. He is probably not easy to deal with. It will be difficult to get the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from him."
Putting everything else aside, Jiang Ning himself is already the third strongest martial artist in the righteous path. He has killed countless people since his debut, and his martial arts are so superb that they are simply beyond their reach. If they want to get the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual from Jiang Ning, they might as well dream about it.
That's why the leader of the Money Gang is so troubled right now.
However, the scholar laughed at this moment.
"It's not difficult for the gang leader to obtain the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. However, I have an idea that might relieve the gang leader's worries."
Huo, the leader of the Money Gang, turned to look at the scholar.
"What do you mean, sir?"
The scholar smiled confidently, stroked his mustache, and said, "This King Ning has achieved success at a young age, and he is probably already arrogant and complacent. Although his martial arts are high, he is not invincible or immune to all poisons. We can deliberately approach him, paralyze him, flatter him, and then secretly poison him. Even if he is highly skilled in martial arts, he will be at our mercy once he is poisoned."
Hearing the scholar's words, the leader of the Money Gang's eyes darted around faster, clearly somewhat tempted, but he still hesitated.
"According to you, as long as we pretend to get close to King Ning and deliberately flatter him to gain his trust, we'll likely succeed?"
"good."
The scholar smiled confidently.
The leader of the Money Gang was still somewhat hesitant.
"But the other party is a disciple of the Huashan Sect. The Huashan Sect leader, Yue Buqun, values him highly. Not long ago, the three major underworld families wanted to put a bounty on his head, but Yue Buqun wiped them out. If we want to deal with him, we may not be able to withstand Yue Buqun's retaliation."
The scholar, however, did not take it to heart.
"Chief, there's no need to worry. We're not the only ones in the martial world who want the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. As long as we do it secretly, gain Ning Yanwang's trust, and then capture him, who will know?"
The leader of the Money Gang was very interested, but then said, "I heard that King Ning is no longer with the Huashan Sect, but has gone on a solo journey through the martial world. I don't know where he is now, and finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How can we find him?"
Just as the scholar was about to speak, a voice rang out in the study.
"Are you looking for me?"
The scholar and the leader of the Money Gang both changed their expressions at the same time.
This is not their voice.
It came from the desk!
The two turned their heads at the same time, their pupils shrinking instantly.
A young man was sitting at his desk, looking down at the portrait on the desk with some curiosity.
Those words just now came from his mouth.
At that moment, the young man looked up at them, revealing his true face to them.
The pupils of both the scholar and the leader of the Money Gang contracted sharply.
The young man looked exactly like the one in the portrait.
Seeing the astonished expressions on their faces.
Jiang Ning laughed.
Chapter 427: The Black Wind Society
The moment they saw Jiang Ning, the Money Gang leader and the scholar's minds went completely blank.
Is he Ning Yanwang?
He is Ning Yanwang!
How did he end up here?
When did he arrive here?
Did he hear what we said?
He must have heard it all!
Looking at the young man sitting at his desk not far away, with a smile on his face, the leader of the Money Gang and the scholar began to recall Jiang Ning's deeds.
Kill Tian Boguang...
Suppressing bandits in Shaanxi...
Kill Yu Canghai...
Hunting down Ren Yingying...
Defeated by Xiang Wentian...
Kill Zuo Lengchan...
The evil cultivators were slaughtered, their heads rolling...
The leader of the Money Gang and the scholar turned pale.
Gudong.
The scholar couldn't help but swallow hard, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
If Jiang Ning had heard everything he just said…
Meanwhile, the leader of the Money Gang wasn't doing much better.
"You...you are King Ning?"
The leader of the Money Gang spoke, his voice trembling slightly.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, seemed casual at this moment. After comparing the portrait on the paper with his own real appearance, he looked at the two people, especially the scholar.
Jiang Ning asked with a curious smile, "How do you plan to poison me?"
The scholar's mind went blank.
When the person directly involved in the plot overheard him and asked him how he planned to poison the scholar, the scholar felt like he was about to die.
“Ning…Ning Yama.”
The scholar could only utter three words before he could say no more.
The leader of the Money Gang forced an ugly smile. "Ning Yanwang, this is all a misunderstanding."
After saying that, the leader of the Money Gang struck the scholar on the head with lightning speed.
With a cracking sound, the scholar with the mustache opened his eyes wide and instinctively looked at the leader of the Money Gang, his lips slightly parted.
"Master..."
Blood flowed from his head, the scholar's eyes gradually became unfocused, and he then lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Money Gang leader, who then withdrew his hand, looked at Jiang Ning, and forced a smile.
"I am Wang Huan, leader of the Money Gang. Greetings, King Yama Ning."
There was no time to think about why Jiang Ning was here with him; Wang Huan's mind raced as he quickly devised a way to escape.
"I have long admired the name of King Ning, but have never had the chance to meet him. Today, I have finally met him and he is indeed a heroic young man. I have heard that King Ning punishes evil and promotes good, and has rescued many people from suffering. He is a hero among heroes. I admire him very much and have long wanted to befriend someone like King Ning."
Wang Huan, the leader of the Money Gang, spoke without changing his expression, as if he truly believed it.
"There are always some despicable people in this world who want to harm a hero like you. This person was malicious and wanted to harm you. I killed him in anger. I hope King Yama will not blame me."
In just a few words, Wang Huan took responsibility for himself and shifted all the blame onto the dead scholar.
After saying these words, Wang Huan wore a sincere smile, showing no sign of falsehood.
But at that moment, his heart was in his throat.
Jiang Ning glanced at the corpse on the ground, then at Wang Huan, and said, "He hasn't answered my question yet, why did you kill him?"
Wang Huan had originally planned to respond to Jiang Ning with either a furious outburst or a convinced response, but Jiang Ning's words not only rendered his previous statements meaningless, but also left him unsure of how to proceed.
"This...I..."
Wang Huan broke out in a cold sweat.
However, Jiang Ning did not pursue the matter further and changed the subject.
"I came here because one of your gang members invited me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Huan couldn't help but be surprised, and a smile spread across his face: "I wonder if the gang member that King Ning mentioned is your friend?"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
"He stole my wallet."
Upon hearing this, Wang Huan felt as if he were about to cry but had no tears.
I only stole your purse, you really don't need to go that far?
After cursing the gang member who had brought Jiang Ning here to his ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind, Wang Huan hurriedly said, "It was my fault for not disciplining him properly. I am willing to compensate you for your losses. No, I am willing to compensate you a hundredfold."
Jiang Ning chuckled.
“I didn’t come here for that. I have a question to ask you.”
Wang Huan hurriedly said, "Please speak, King Ning. I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Jiang Ning asked, "Do you know anything about the Black Wind Society?"
"Black Wind Society?"
Wang Huan was taken aback.
Are you looking for the Black Wind Society?
Jiang Ning nodded.
Wang Huan didn't know why Jiang Ning wanted to find the Black Wind Society, but it was none of his business, so he quickly told him everything he knew.
"The Black Wind Society is a powerful force that controls the mountain strongholds within Shandong."
The Black Wind Society originally started as a mountain stronghold, but as it grew larger, it stopped engaging in robbery and plunder and instead controlled the mountain strongholds in Shandong to pay tribute to it. It had a great deal of power in Shandong, but it was unknown to the public and was very mysterious.
