After all, Elder Xuan wouldn’t quickly figure out a teleportation array; he’d deal with it next year. Maybe things would work out when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s gloomy expression made Gan Lei, walking half a step behind him, feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the two arrived at their destination; from afar, Cang Luo saw Wang Fuhai, Li Zhan, and others waving at him, while He Cheng, Zhang Yan, and the rest ran straight toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo waved back, then noticed the number of attendees had nearly doubled since last time—three female disciples were among them, likely brought in by Wang Fuhai and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. The more people, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo suddenly halted, fixing his gaze on the three female disciples—Xiang Yunjiao was among them. Was she joining the War Wolf Gang too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yunjiao, Cang Luo’s heart leapt; he quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, He Cheng and the others jogged up to Cang Luo. He Cheng exclaimed happily, “Senior Brother Cang, have you finished your seclusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo nodded. He’d spent this time studying arrays, though he told them he was in seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t entirely false—he spent every night cultivating the Second Layer of the Body-Annihilating Divine Art...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked and chatted, He Cheng added, “Senior Brother Cang, everyone’s here—including the five from Xin 175 dorm who were away last time. Plus twenty-five new recruits, all at Warrior cultivation base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm. So how many does that make the War Wolf Gang total now? Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo was satisfied. Sixty people was just right for now—especially with three girls. This would greatly boost the gang’s cohesion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes: men and women together, work feels effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But...” He Cheng, walking to Cang Luo’s left, hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what?” Cang Luo noticed He Cheng had potential as a secretary—he could be groomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Cheng frowned. “But most of these twenty-five new recruits were recommended by Senior Brother Zhao Renwu. Zhao Brother brought in so many people—he’s clearly determined to claim the position of Regular Affairs Vice-Gang Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Lei and the others nodded in agreement. He Cheng continued, “After joining, Zhao Renwu’s faction now makes up nearly half the gang...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered, “Senior Brother Cang, I’m worried Zhao Renwu will grow too powerful and undermine your control over the gang...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After He Cheng finished, Cang Luo saw they all looked at him with concern—they clearly feared he couldn’t hold his ground against Zhao Renwu, and worried he’d be sidelined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was that even possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Zhao Renwu think sheer numbers could challenge him for power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo wasn’t worried at all. He’d already thought of this—and had a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first: as long as he remained the gang’s strongest fighter, he could lead cultivation, elevate everyone’s strength, reward loyalty, and expel dissenters—securing absolute authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo believed that, with his Earthling physique and the satellite’s aid, achieving this wouldn’t be hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too autocratic, bad for the gang’s long-term growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, taking on every task himself would exhaust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second method: establish a system that firmly placed power in his hands, one that everyone—including Zhao Renwu—would accept and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhao Renwu had many followers, if he wanted to stay in the War Wolf Gang, he’d have to follow this system. Cang Luo would even give him a taste of upward mobility—let him believe he could one day replace him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he could keep Zhao Renwu within the gang, suppress him, slowly peel away his subordinates, and make them truly loyal to the War Wolf Gang—and to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the second method still required strength as backing—but it wouldn’t demand he shoulder every burden like the first. It would be far easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo smiled. “Don’t worry. Zhao Renwu won’t rise high. The War Wolf Gang belongs to all its members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I intend to make it a safe, warm family—not one man’s private garden. No one, not even me, can claim it as their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Cheng and the others didn’t fully understand. A gang as a family? Belonging to everyone, not the Gang Leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they puzzled over it, Cang Luo and his group joined the others. Everyone rose and bowed to him—some said “Gang Leader,” others “Senior Brother Cang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo returned each bow, his peripheral vision catching Yunjiao and the two other attractive girls standing among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Birds of a feather flock together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two girls were also curvaceous—one with shoulder-length hair, oval face, fair skin, looking like a gentle, sweet neighbor girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had her hair tied in a high ponytail, spirited and energetic, her wheat-toned skin glowing with youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially her exposed navel—adding a wild edge. Probably a fiery girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo hadn’t been close to any girl in a long time. Seeing three now made his pulse quicken, his thoughts wandering—but he quickly calmed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many people here—all future subordinates. He must maintain the image of a virtuous gentleman. No weaknesses to exploit. He must set an example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, beauty brings disaster. Better to avoid them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But asking their names couldn’t hurt, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo shook off his thoughts and walked toward Yunjiao and the other two, ready to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Zhao Renli stepped forward and asked, “Gang Leader, has the selection for Regular Affairs Vice-Gang Leader been decided?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renli was asking, but Cang Luo noticed his tone held no trace of inquiry—only confident certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So sure I’ll pick Zhao Renwu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo subtly frowned, turning to look at Zhao Renwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu was chatting merrily with over twenty outer-disciples. When he saw Cang Luo looking, he turned and met his gaze with a friendly smile—though inside, he sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t make me Regular Affairs Vice-Gang Leader, then you take your broad road, and we’ll take our narrow one. The gang hasn’t even officially formed, and half its members are gone. I’d like to see how you’ll still be Gang Leader...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo counted: damn, including Zhao Renwu and Zhao Renli, this faction had twenty-four people—over a third of the gang’s total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Cheng hadn’t exaggerated. Nearly half were Zhao Renwu’s men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn! The gang isn’t even officially formed, and they’ve already split into factions this badly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo took a deep breath, then turned to look at Zang Feng and the others—he saw their numbers had grown too, now ten strong. The five new ones were from Xin 175 dorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Wang Fuhai—twelve people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s head throbbed. The gang had only sixty members total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu: twenty-four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Fuhai: twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng: ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Gang Leader? Only eleven. Not the smallest—but close enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three girls—Yunjiao and the other two—seemed independent, aligned with no faction. Cang Luo exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must win over the girls. A gang with women attracts the males.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo scanned the crowd, then ignored Zhao Renli’s question. He raised a hand, signaling everyone to pay attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he declared loudly: “We are gathered here today for this very matter. My fellow brothers, rest assured—I have already made my decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s the choice for Regular Affairs Vice-Gang Leader, or the gang’s future direction—I will give you a satisfying answer today. Let the War Wolf Gang resound throughout the Profound Heaven Sect...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1383,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eba9727510e7afeeee39d69423a7aae9f3964f4c6c32bd65ade09956adc5aa40","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-77","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-75",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
