Chapter 23. Get involved
Chapter: 4485 Words
The next day, I asked Jin to stay behind while I went to the main entrance of Cold Moon Hall, Charm of the Moon Bar. The bar was a building with more than 60 floors. It consisted of disco, KTV, casino, saunas, restaurants, and so on. The higher the level, the higher the level, and the higher the cost. Above the 50th floor was the Cold Moon Hall's secret area, which could be said to be the core of the Cold Moon Hall.
I walked to the door. There were eight men in black guarding the door. They were all strong people. They must be the thugs guarding this place. According to the information, Charm of the Moon Bar was usually a place for the members of the Cold Moon Hall to have fun, or for the higher-ups of the other Black Sun Hall, or for people with prestige in society. Ordinary people would not come here.
Obviously, the thugs at the door had never seen me before. Two burly men stepped forward and blocked my way.
"I'm here to see the hall master." I told them. "Where did this wild brat come from? Do you think the hall master is someone you can meet casually?”Someone berated.
"Shut up!" A stern voice came from behind, and the thugs immediately returned to their positions respectfully. "Brother Shangguan, follow me." I followed Xiao into the bar. They took the elevator to the top floor.
On the top floor was the Cold Moon Hall's secret meeting room. At this moment, the Cold Moon Hall's Hall Master, Shang, was sitting there alone.
"Brother Shang!" Xiao shouted. Shang turned around. His face was one that had experienced many vicissitudes. "This is Shangguan Yuchen from the Shangguan family.”Xiao introduced. Shang raised his head and stared at me. I could feel that his gaze was filled with spirit.
Shang was in his forties, tall and burly, and had experienced many accidents, big and small. From the beginning, he was just a little hooligan in his teens who managed to become one of the 36 Hall Masters of the Black Sun Hall, the Cold Moon Hall Master. It could be seen that his resourcefulness, combat strength, scheming, and connections in the martial world were all extremely impressive. They had been in the underworld for decades and had lived on the edge of a knife. Naturally, they had many honed abilities.
Shang's eyes and mine were tightly intertwined. I could clearly feel the righteousness, heroism, and spirit hidden in him.
"It's indeed not simple!" Shang stood up and walked towards me," Thank you for helping Brother Xiao yesterday.”As he spoke, he walked in front of me.
"Sou!" Shang raised his hand and threw a punch. I turned sideways and grabbed Shang's wrist, while Shang's other hand clenched into a fist and attacked from the waist. I immediately released my hand to block it.
"Brother Shang's skills are indeed impressive, worthy of being the Cold Moon Hall's number one battle general.”I took a step back. Shang was just testing my skills. I only used 60% of my power, so he didn't notice it for the time being. "Brother Shangguan is also so outstanding. This Shang had long heard that the Shangguan Clan's Young Masters were all extraordinary. Now that I've seen them today, they truly live up to their reputation.”Shang laughed.
"If Brother Shang doesn't mind, then I'll call you big brother.”I said, we need to gain Shang's trust and good impression. "Good! "It's my honor to be brothers with Brother Shangguan," Shang said with a bright smile. It could be seen that he really valued loyalty.
"Brother Shang!" A few men walked in through the door, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people. "Ling Yuan, Hei Ze, Kun Lin, this is Shangguan Yuchen. Brother Shangguan, this is Ling Yuan, Hei Ze, Kun Lin.”Xiao introduced. The three of them nodded at me, then turned to look at Shang. It was obvious that there was something urgent. These three were also the Incense Masters of the Cold Moon Hall, and together with Xiao, they were known as the Four Great Generals under Shang. Each of them possessed extraordinary strength. If I were to face one of them alone, it would take me a lot of effort to win, but if the four of them attacked at the same time, I would definitely lose. Unless I joined forces with Jin, I would have a fifty percent chance of winning, and it would be a narrow victory.
"Brother Shang, our place has been destroyed." Hei Ze said to Shang.”Shang was stunned when he heard that. There were not many people who dared to provoke the Black Sun like this. However, he quickly calmed down. Someone who was able to become the Cold Moon Hall's Hall Master must have an extraordinary mentality.
"What gang?" "A few small gangs, led by the Skeleton Gang and the Sky Shaking Gang, and many other unknown small gangs. We just happened to be short of manpower today, so we were suddenly attacked. They destroyed the place as soon as they entered, and we lost about ten million.”
Ten million was nothing to the Cold Moon Hall. It could be said to be a drop in the ocean. The businesses under the Cold Moon Hall could be measured in hundreds of millions. However, this was clearly someone provoking them. For such a powerful sect, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"Could it be that the Skeleton Gang's Hong Bandit and the Sky Shaking Gang really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to cause trouble in the Cold Moon Hall's territory?”Ling Yuan touched the long scar on his face and said disdainfully,"We'll directly bring people to destroy these small gangs and make them disappear completely.”
"Yes, these gangs have always been in our territory and have never dared to cause trouble. They have always been respectful, but today, they actually did such a rebellious thing. It's time to clean up the house." Xiao said.
Since they knew that these small gangs could not withstand a single blow, they would definitely let down their guard. They had overlooked one point. If those small gangs weren't threatened by death or didn't have a strong backing, how could they have offended the Cold Moon Hall and even invaded the Black Sun? It was inevitable for people to be careless, but sometimes, carelessness could cost them their lives.
Shang didn't think too much about it and said,"Then let's destroy them. Ever since I took over the position of the hall master, I haven't caused a ruckus for a long time. It's time for my brothers to move around.”I immediately stepped forward and said,"Brother Shang, could it be that this little brother has some grudges with the Zhentian Gang? Can you let this little brother go out and get rid of the Zhentian Gang?"”
"Brother Shangguan, you want to fight with the Zhentian Gang? Alright, take 300 men and attack the Heaven Shaking Gang.”Shang said," Xiao, Ling Yuan, Kun Lin, Hei Ze, each of you bring 300 brothers and teach the gangs that participated in this matter a good lesson. Let them know that there are some people that cannot be provoked.”
Shang's heart must have been filled with rage. To mess with him was to humiliate him. How could he not be angry at such humiliation? This tactic was indeed effective.
But I want to know how Big Dipper made these small gangs dare to provoke the Cold Moon Hall. They knew they would definitely die, but they still did it. Perhaps this was the strength of Gui Fu. It was not only their individual combat strength, but also their other abilities.
Hei Ze made a call and asked the Cold Moon Hall members gathered at South Cloud Street to gather immediately. So I went downstairs with Xiao and the other three. In less than ten minutes, more than a thousand people lined up on the street. Everyone was dressed in black, wearing sunglasses and holding a three-and-a-half-foot-long machete. Their faces were expressionless. These were all outlaws who had no way to survive or yearned to join the underworld. Perhaps he would still be drinking and having fun today, but he would die under someone else's knife tomorrow.
The five of us each brought 300 people and headed to different places.
The Sky Shaking Gang was a medium-sized gang, and their strength was not bad. They had a scale of three to four thousand people, and they had at least two thousand direct combatants. They also had many bars and other places that they ran. However, compared to a super large sect like the Black Sun, they were undoubtedly like ants.
The headquarters of the Sky Shaking Gang is located in a remote location in the southern area. Along the way, ordinary people avoided them as far as possible, afraid of provoking these fiends. I observed these people. Some of them were in their early twenties, while others were in their thirties. Perhaps they should have found a proper job, raised their families in peace, and lived a happy life. "But this society is twisted and ugly. I know that some of them are unwilling to take this path and are completely helpless. There are also some who are ignorant and step into the underworld, only to find that they are involved in muddy water. Of course, there are also some who like this kind of life, like the degenerate underworld life.
A long time ago, I was wondering why there was a world called the underworld in this world. There was no peaceful life here. There was only killing, violence, blood, crime, and evil. Could it be that the world could not function normally without this? Could it be that the government really couldn't stop the development of the underworld? It was because they were working together and colluding with each other. Or did they really need the existence of this underground order?
If such order was really needed, and if it was necessary to maintain normal order through crimes, killings, and violence, would there be a need for so-called morality, so-called conscience, and so-called laws?
Are these laws only for ordinary people? However, how many ordinary people would cross the moral bottom line? Then, wouldn't these so-called laws be an illusion to the underworld and other forces?
Murder, arson, drugs, firearms, sex and violence. The government could sit back and do nothing. They could even allow them to exist. They could hide their existence from the public. On the surface, society was very peaceful, but only the authorities knew the darkness and ugliness within.
As he thought about it, he arrived at the territory of the Sky Shaking Gang, Jade Virtue Street. Although the Sky Shaking Gang was a medium-sized gang, they were different from the small gangs in the ancient town. They were the real outlaws who lived on the edge of a knife. Moreover, under normal circumstances, as long as they did not violate the bottom line, hurt ordinary people, or destroy urban construction, the government would let the gangs settle their personal grudges and let the gangs fight among themselves.
The government turned a blind eye to many things. Moreover, the government often had a cooperative relationship with them to some extent. Some things that were inconvenient for the government to come forward were solved by the gangs. In this society, everyone had their own ways of dealing with things. One was a fake system, and the other was a violent solution. After thousands of years, society still had these two kinds of order coexisting.
" Red Spider " bar, the chief of the Sky Shaking Gang. A group of hooligans dressed in strange clothes saw us approaching and dispersed. Some thugs ran into the bar. They must be members of the Sky Shaking Gang.
Our group blocked the entrance of Yude Street. Soon, the members of the Zhentian Gang who stayed behind on Yude Street poured out from various bars and other places. The leader was a yellow-haired man who walked out of the Red Spider Bar. He was about 1.75 meters tall and his body was relatively thin, but his sharp eyes showed that he was not an ordinary person. He should be the leader of the Sky Shaking Gang, Mo Fei.
Soon, around two hundred people gathered behind Mo Fei, but they were obviously no match for the Cold Moon Hall members. Whether it was in terms of numbers or combat ability, there was a certain gap.
"Are you going to do it yourself, or are we going to do it?”A man in his thirties behind me shouted. He was the leader of this group.
"What's the difference? I've lived for twenty-seven years and I've never admitted defeat to anyone.”Mo Fei said calmly. To be able to develop his gang to such a level at the age of 20 was enough to show his strength.
Mo Fei was holding a machete." Brothers, you are the people of the Sky Shaking Gang in life, and you are the soul of the Sky Shaking Gang in death. Kill!"
With an order, he charged into the formation with his saber. The members of the Cold Moon Hall behind me were not willing to be outdone either. They all brandished their sabers and the two sides began to fight.
Mo Fei's blade met a Cold Moon Hall member's attack, and before he could react, Mo Fei had already chopped off one of his arms. Blood spurted all over him, but he did not care. He fought fiercely against the several burly men who surrounded him.
The people in front of him were all outlaws from the underworld. They did not know how to show mercy when they attacked, and every move was fatal. Therefore, he could only attack mercilessly to ensure that he would not be killed. It was precisely because of this that those people's eyes turned red from fighting, constantly thinking of ways to take the other party's life.
I brandished my short sword as well and faced the seven or eight thugs with machetes that surrounded me. Facing such a reckless opponent, I was also struggling for a moment. They attacked without any order and slashed randomly. This was also the reason why many people who had practiced martial arts for many years could not fight against some hooligans on the streets. This wasn't a martial arts competition, but a true battle of life and death. " Uncle Tai said that at our current stage, the best and most practical way to improve our strength is to fight in real life. We can train, summarize, comprehend, and improve through practice.
I couldn't expend too much energy right now. The real battle was still to come.
A sword pierced into a man's heart. With a flick, a stab, a twist, and a pull, fresh blood and minced meat flew out, and the man in front of him fell to the ground.
"Ah Jing!" When the men surrounding me saw their comrades fall, they couldn't help but become furious. They waved their machetes and slashed at me without caring about anything.
I used my left hand to move the sword and pulled it up diagonally, avoiding a person's machete. The sword directly pierced through his throat. His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly lost his last chance of survival. Then, the sword in my hand took the lives of five or six people.
As for myself, after killing eight people, I also suffered three slashes. However, my injuries were very light. They were only superficial injuries and were not enough to pose a threat.
Looking at the scene, most of the people were either lightly or heavily injured. There were even people who had lost an arm, but they were still forcefully holding on. Until death, they would drag someone down with them. What was supporting them?
The members of Cold Moon Hall had indeed received combat training. Compared to the members of the Sky Shaking Triad, their combat strength was at least double. In addition, they had a certain advantage in numbers. After more than 20 minutes, there were less than 60 people left standing in the Sky Shaking Triad. The Cold Moon Hall didn't suffer many casualties, with more than 220 people still standing.
Many people were lying in pools of blood on the ground. Some had already lost their lives, while others were struggling in pain.
Could it be that he had been stabbed at least ten times, one of which was so deep that his bones could be seen? However, he still stood there calmly. I admire him for this. I admire him for being a true man.
Stepping into the underworld was a path of no return, so they should have the realization that they would die.
However, they did not know that he was just a chess piece used by Gui Fu.
I couldn't bear to do so. After all, killing so many people who had nothing to do with me would naturally make me feel bad. Although the government would not interfere with the Black Sun's power, it seemed that no one had the right to take someone's life.
They looked at the people of the Sky Shaking Triad in front of them. They were supporting each other, and their hands were still holding onto the blunt knives. The broken knives were covered in blood.
Those who had fallen were all living beings. They all had their families and friends. How would their families feel if they died so tragically? Parents brought up their children. Instead of doing proper jobs and starting a family, they embarked on a path of no return. They had never thought about what would happen to their families and how their wives and children would live after their accident.
If it wasn't for Gui Fu, I wouldn't have had anything to do with the underworld. I will live the life I want in peace.
Reality was too cruel…
