Chapter 178: Eliminating the Poisonous Snake Later

Late at night.

"Kill, kill!"

"Charge for me!"

"Kill a Qi Refining stage cultivator, reward one magic treasure. Kill a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, become a gang elder."

The apes shrieked, and under the command of the cultivators, launched a fierce attack.

The attacked gang was resentful and suspicious, unable to understand why the Monkey Head Gang would attack them!

"Don't be afraid!"

"We have a defensive array protecting us; the Monkey Head Gang's all-out attack will surely pay a heavy price."

"No matter what madness they have committed, making such a big scene, the City Guard will definitely come!"

Gang elders and leaders were trying their best to stabilize morale.

On the top floor of a restaurant, Ning Zhuo consumed talismans to enhance his vision, watching the offensive and defensive battle triggered by this surprise attack clearly.

The Monkey Head Gang leader's face was very ugly, standing beside Ning Zhuo, whispering: "Lord, if this continues, our Monkey Head Gang will suffer heavy losses!"

Ning Zhuo was expressionless.

The battle lasted for a while.

Ning Xiangqian couldn't watch anymore: "Young Master Zhuo, shall I let us charge?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly: "There is no need for this."

The Monkey Head Gang leader felt as if he were in winter, his body and mind were cold.

Ning Zhuo didn't care about the Monkey Head Gang at all, using human lives and ape lives to consume the enemy's defensive array; it was too cruel, like a cold-blooded general on the battlefield.

But he had no choice.

After he admitted defeat, he not only signed a strict and harsh contract but also handed over the evidence of murdering Yuan Er to Ning Zhuo himself.

He only had one path to follow: listen to Ning Zhuo.

The hostile gang cursed in the defensive array.

"Crazy, the people of the Monkey Head Gang are crazy!"

"When did we ever provoke them?"

"Why hasn't the City Guard come yet? Are they blind?!"

The enemies were all shocked by the Monkey Head Gang's crazy attack. Their strength was not as good as the Monkey Head Gang's; if it weren't for the defensive array, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Gang Leader, should we continue to fight?"

"If this continues, the old guys will die out!"

The elders of the Monkey Head Gang found the leader and complained incessantly.

Of course, they had thought about running away, or counterattacking Ning Zhuo, but the nearly twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators standing beside Ning Zhuo made them dismiss the thought as soon as it occurred.

Attacking the enemy gang had a chance of survival; attacking Ning Zhuo and the others would definitely be more miserable!

"That's enough, let the people in front withdraw and replace them with the reserve team." Ning Zhuo directed.

"Yes, Lord." The Monkey Head Gang leader said.

"Wait, use this talisman." Ning Zhuo took out a talisman.

The Monkey Head Gang leader took it and was overjoyed: "It's a formation-breaking talisman!"

Not long after.

Under the effect of the formation-breaking talisman, the defensive array collapsed, the morale of the hostile gang members collapsed, and those who died died, those who surrendered surrendered.

"How to deal with these prisoners?" The Monkey Head Gang leader asked Ning Zhuo for instructions.

Ning Zhuo smiled: "This gang has done many evil deeds, which one of them is not guilty of heinous crimes? Hmph, they deserve to die! Kill them all."

The light words shocked everyone present. Even the Ning family's Foundation Establishment cultivators felt cold in their hearts.

Ning Zhuo was only sixteen years old, and before this, he had lived in the school.

What he showed to the public was his talent, his hard work, his shrewd planning, and his resistance to the main branch.

And tonight's battle let others see the coldness and cruelty in Ning Zhuo's bones.

Not long after, the Monkey Head Gang leader reported that everything was according to Ning Zhuo's instructions, and none of the hostile gang members survived.

Ning Zhuo clapped his hands and sighed: "Destroying evil and promoting righteousness is truly a happy thing in life! It's a pity there is no wine, otherwise, I should drink a big cup."

Ning Xianguo smiled slightly and took out fine wine from his storage belt: "I have wine here."

Ning Xianguo took the initiative to pour a cup for Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo called it wonderful, but didn't drink it, instead handing it to the Monkey Head Gang leader: "I will bestow this wine to you, drink it."

The Monkey Head Gang leader thanked him hurriedly and drank it in one gulp.

"I want to congratulate you, Gang Leader." Ning Zhuo said to him, "From now on, the Monkey Head Gang will replace this gang's position and enter the black market strongly."

The Monkey Head Gang leader's Adam's apple rolled, his heart filled with anger and hatred.

His Monkey Head Gang had found a legitimate business of picking fire persimmons and had finally managed to wash themselves clean. Now, this battle directly made years of hard work go down the drain, and they had become a gang involved in the black market again!

Ning Zhuo took a storage bag from his waist and threw it to the Monkey Head Gang leader: "Your battle today let me see the loyalty of your Monkey Head Gang. This is a reward for you."

The Monkey Head Gang leader thanked him again, opened the bag, probed with his divine sense, and his expression changed: "Mechanical Fire-Exploding Ape?!"

"Not bad." Ning Zhuo nodded, "You lost too many monkey pets today, these Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes will serve as compensation. Work for me well in the future, work for my Ning family, I will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Lord!!" The Monkey Head Gang leader knelt and kowtowed, his teeth almost biting through from anger.

Ning Zhuo went too far, being so aggressive!

He clearly had a formation-breaking talisman, but he waited until the Monkey Head Gang suffered heavy casualties before taking it out to use.

He was intentional, just to let the Monkey Head Gang lose almost all their monkey pets, and then replace them with Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes.

The Monkey Head Gang leader saw Ning Zhuo's purpose at a glance: "He wants to use the Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes to deepen his control over the Monkey Head Gang!"

The Monkey Head Gang leader's heart was gray.

Contracts, evidence, and Mechanical Fire-Exploding Apes, Ning Zhuo planted three layers of means, does he and his Monkey Head Gang still have any hope of freedom?

Very little!

He looked at Ning Zhuo, clearly the latter was only at the third level of Qi Refining, but he fully felt Ning Zhuo's strength.

Many times, cultivation level doesn't represent anything.

The Ning family members also felt it deeply.

Ning Zhuo's tough and ruthless methods made the last trace of contempt in their hearts disappear completely.

Ning Zhuo then instructed the Monkey Head Gang leader: "You go and surround the Crane Beak Gang's headquarters, bring the enemy's heads, and tell the Crane Beak Gang directly that the black market is taken over by me, Ning Zhuo."

"If they don't surrender, they will end up like these heads!"

"Yes." The Monkey Head Gang leader took the order and stepped back.

Ning Xianguo showed a worried expression: "Young Master Zhuo, you said you wanted to take the black market and asked us to come and help you."

"We can discuss it in the long run, and we can be dispatched by you in recent days, there is no need to rush for a moment."

"Tonight, a gang has already been destroyed, the Monkey Head Gang is already exhausted, and now we have to go to war with a second gang in a complete state. This..."

"Our control over the current leader of the Monkey Head Gang is solid. It cannot be easily reproduced on other gang leaders."

"Such a force should be able to help us consolidate the black market in the future. The battle just now has already consumed the Monkey Head Gang a lot, and letting them lose more blood will be detrimental to the overall situation."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Uncle Xianguo, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to call me Young Master."

"I have the same background as all the uncles, we are all from the branch."

"As for the Crane Beak Gang, I judge that they will likely surrender."

"I know quite a bit about the black market, and I also have some plans and arrangements."

"Uncle Xianguo can just wait and see."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ning Zhuo, and Ning Zhuo was full of confidence, Ning Xianguo and the others stopped persuading.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were deep, recalling the conversation between him and Sun Lingtong before the action.

"Boss Sun, this time I want to come forward and take back our black market!" Ning Zhuo informed Sun Lingtong of his current situation.

Sun Lingtong clapped his hands excitedly: "Haha, wonderful. It was not easy for us brothers to take down the black market, now that I am wanted, it is best for you to go up."

"However, you are a member of the Ning family, a member of one of the three great families. You openly taking over the black market will break the tacit understanding in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, right?"

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "I have thought about it, this point is not a concern."

"First, I try not to do it myself, and use the Monkey Head Gang in the early stages of the action. The Monkey Head Gang has long been washed clean, I use the excuse of avenging Yuan Er to find trouble with them openly and force them to submit."

"I and the Ning family Foundation Establishment cultivators try not to make a move, letting the Monkey Head Gang charge forward."

"Second, my relationship with the Zhou family and the Zheng family is not bad, and I am also on good terms with the City Lord's mansion, Fei Si. If it were someone else from the Ning family, they would definitely stop it. But for me to take charge of the black market, they will only be happy to see it happen."

"Because they all want to see the confrontation and internal friction between the Ning family's main branch and the branch. Although I have greatly offended the Ning family's main branch, these people will support me!"

"Now, I was designed by the main branch, on the one hand, dismissing a large number of branch Deacons, and on the other hand, rewarding me heavily, forcing me to share cultivation resources, attempting to disintegrate my popularity."

"I have no choice but to find another way out. I am also very young, breaking the tacit understanding of the Immortal City and reaching out to the black market is nothing. The other three forces will definitely be able to 'understand'!"

Sun Lingtong pondered for a while, nodded, and recognized Ning Zhuo's analysis: "Brother, you see it very thoroughly. This is indeed a rare opportunity for you to take charge of the black market as a member of the Ning family."

"Then let's have a big fight!"

Sun Lingtong then analyzed: "To take down the black market quickly, it is mainly three gangs and three loose cultivators."

"The three gangs are the Poisonous Snake Gang, the Turtle Breath Gang, and the Crane Beak Gang. The three loose cultivators are Feng Heizi, the One-Armed Craftsman, and the Unclean."

"That's right." Ning Zhuo nodded.

He, in the identity of the 'Tiao-Ling Ke', assisted Sun Lingtong and spent several years integrating the current black market, and knew the forces and characters in the black market very well.

Ning Zhuo said: "The Poisonous Snake Gang is the most active, especially after you were wanted, Boss, they made great efforts to invade our base."

"Hmph!"

"This time, I will order the Monkey Head Gang to attack the Poisonous Snake Gang, kill one to warn a hundred, and show off our prestige!"

"Then bring many Ning family Deacons, as well as the Monkey Head Gang, to force the Crane Beak Gang to surrender."

Sun Lingtong agreed: "Feasible! The leaders and elders of the Crane Beak Gang are mostly bullying the soft and fearing the hard; that's how we did it back then."

"As for the Turtle Breath Gang, it depends on you, Boss." Ning Zhuo said to Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong laughed: "Who would have thought that the mysterious Turtle Breath Gang today was once just a group of beggars practicing the Turtle Breath Technique to enter a hibernation state and delay hunger."

"It was you, little Zhuo, who saw them as pitiful and usable, so you let me come forward and secretly taught their leader some stealing techniques."

"This group of beggars was also promising, gradually developing into the current Turtle Breath Gang."

"I will come forward personally and secretly order the Turtle Breath Gang leader to lurk by your side, monitoring while waiting for my return in the future."

The Turtle Breath Gang leader didn't know the true identity of the 'Tiao-Ling Ke', and had always been grateful for Sun Lingtong's kindness.

On the surface, the relationship between the Turtle Breath Gang and Sun Lingtong was distant. In reality, the Turtle Breath Gang had always been Sun Lingtong's capable subordinate.

A large part of Sun Lingtong's information sources were explored by the Turtle Breath Gang.
