Chapter 2239: News Spread
Zhao Hai got up early the next day. His previous worries have been swept away, and he was now waiting to watch the show. He knew very well what was coming after the news spread. When the time comes, the Moonfall Palace wouldn’t have the chance to deal with him.
Zhao Hai calmly went out of his room. The Blood Knife Gang was also quite busy. Looking at everyone, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Ignorance was indeed bliss.
Just as Zhao Hai came out of his room, Liu Zhen just returned from outside. His appearance didn’t look good. He might not have rested properly last night. His eyes were bloodshot.
Liu Zhen’s situation surprised Zhao Hai. It must be known that cultivators have great vitality. They won’t get tired from sleeplessness like mortals do. Even if they didn’t sleep for several days, they would still be fine.
As he looked at Liu Zhen, Zhao Hai asked, “Brother Liu, what happened to you? You look like you haven’t slept well.”
Liu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “The Gang Master has been out for several days and has yet to return. I’m somewhat worried. If the Moonfall Palace finds that he’s not here, they may suspect our Blood Knife Gang. When that happens, we will be in trouble.”
Hearing Liu Zhen, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but bitterly smile. He couldn’t tell Liu Zhen that the Gang Master was never going to return. Moreover, the Blood Knife Gang has already been targeted. If it wasn’t for Zhao Hai’s arrangements, the gang would have been in chaos already.
Zhao Hai solemnly replied, “Brother Liu, whether the Gang Master returns or not, we must pay attention to the Moonfall Palace’s actions. It would be a good idea to be prepared in advance.”
Liu Zhen nodded, “We can only do that.” Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ling, if the Gang Master doesn’t come back, what do you think we should do?”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai stared, then his complexion changed as he said, “Brother Liu, what do you mean?”
Liu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “If that thing is very valuable, greater than the value of the entire Blood Knife Gang, would the Gang Master still come back?”
Zhao Hai’s expression changed. He hesitated before he smiled bitterly and said, “That might be possible. The Gang Master is now a Teleportation Stage Expert. If he’s still an Earth Monarch, he might still return to the Blood Knife Gang. But now that he’s at the Teleportation Stage, he can go wherever he wants. The Teleportation Stage is a milestone realm for cultivators. At that stage, the Gang Master will focus on increasing his strength. The Blood Knife Gang is now secondary to him.”
Liu Zhen nodded. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “If that is the case, what should the Blood Knife Gang do?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “The Blood Knife Gang Knife is still strong even without the Gang Master. As long as we elect someone to look after the gang, we should be alright. Brother Liu, you must be prepared. Even if you aren’t the Gang Master, you must have the Blood Knife Gang be under your control. You can have the power of the Gang Master despite not having the title.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Liu Zhen’s heart couldn’t help but shake. Then an unusual light passed through his eyes. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ling, are you sure about that?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Brother Liu, winning over the people of the Blood Knife Gang wouldn’t be bad for you. Even if the Gang Master returns, would he still have the heart to take care of the Gang’s matters? Moreover, you have been close to the Gang Master, he will give you the power sooner or later. If you don’t have everyone’s support, even if you have the Gang Master at your back, you will still have trouble taking command. As long as you have everyone’s support, your position will be firm. Then you won’t have to hesitate to punish those who disobey you.”
Liu Zhen immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. He hesitated for a moment before he said, “It’s still too early. At the very least, we should wait for news regarding the Gang Master. But I’ll remember your words. Once I gain everyone’s support, my current position will be yours.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Thank you, Brother Liu. If the Forbidden Path Sect decides to open its doors for recruitment, I will try and see if I can get in. In Demonheart City, powers rely on connections to the Forbidden Path Sect. If I can join the sect, our Blood Knife Gang will have something to hold on in the city. Otherwise, if the Gang Master doesn’t return, the Blood Knife Gang will have nothing to rely on.” ŖÂ₦Ȫ𝐛ЁS̩
Liu Zhen’s expression turned heavy, “Right. My heart will remain unsteady unless we can find somebody to rely on.”
Zhao Hai nodded and no longer said anything. At this time, Ma Long and Liu Cai arrived at Zhao Hai’s courtyard. Seeing Liu Zhen inside, the two immediately cupped their fists.
Liu Zhen waved his hand. Then he smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. Have you eaten? Let’s eat first. After breakfast, we can head to the Main Hall to deal with the finishing touches. Then the Gang can use its full strength in completing missions.”
Zhao Hai and the others complied and went to the canteen with Liu Zhen. After eating, everyone became busy in the Main Hall. There were still some unfinished jobs in the Main Hall. Once all of that was completed, the Gang could begin taking missions seriously.
Although Zhao Hai was busy, he still had an ear out for news in Demonheart City. In the following hours, he went to several places in the city to map it out for the Space and also to monitor the situation.
Before long, noon came. Zhao Hai’s mood couldn’t help but loosen. This was because he finally heard rumours regarding the Moonfall Palace acquiring a Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb.
As long as this rumour appears, no matter if it is true or false, it would spread to the entire Demonheart City. When the time comes, the Moonfall Palace wouldn’t have the time to deal with Zhao Hai. They would be very busy quelling fires. Not to mention Zhao Hai, even the Blood Knife Gang would be safe.
Not long after Zhao Hai received the news, a person from the Blood Knife Gang came running from outside. Then they quickly went to Liu Zhen and whispered something.
The worried expression on Liu Zhen’s face suddenly turned into shock. Then his face lit up with joy.
Liu Zhen immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Ling, come with me.” Zhao Hai knew what Liu Zhen was about to say, but he still nodded and followed Liu Zhen to his courtyard.
The two quickly arrived at the courtyard. After locking the door, Liu Zhen led Zhao Hai to the living room. Then once they had sat down, Liu Zhen said, “Little Ling, I just received news that the Moonfall Palace has acquired a Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb. If my guess is correct, the thing we escorted is that herb. If that is the case, I’m afraid that the Gang Master already has his hands on it. Hahaha. This is heaven’s will!”
Zhao Hai pretended to be shocked. Then his expression lit up with joy as he said, “Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb? Is it really the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb? Hahaha. Good!”
Liu Zhen nodded and said, “I heard that the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb has infinite uses. Any cultivator that gets their hand on it will make great progress in their cultivation. If the Gang Master has the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb with him, that will be very good for the Blood Knife Gang.”
Zhao Hai looked at Liu Zhen, then he smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Liu, do you think the Gang Master would still come back after getting the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb? How could the Gang Master be unaware about the value of the herb? Our Blood Knife Gang’s value cannot be compared to a single heavenly herb. If Y could guess, we would never see the Gang Master again.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Liu Zhen stared for a moment. Then his complexion changed as he said, “You’re saying that the Gang Master has abandoned the gang for the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb?”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “Right. Even sects want to get their hands on a Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb. After the Gang Master got his hands on the herb, he would certainly think that if he returned to the Blood Knife Gang, whether he had the herb or not, he would be captured by the sect. If he doesn’t have the herb, he would be killed. And if he did, the herb would get taken. If I were in the Gang Master’s shoes, the moment I got the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb, I would run away immediately. I wouldn’t even think of returning to the gang.”
Liu Zhen frowned as he walked around the room. He knew that Zhao Hai was right. Especially when he heard about the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb. There was no chance of Wang Da returning to the gang.
With Wang Da’s chances of returning to the gang becoming zero, the Blood Knife Gang needs a new Gang Master. In other words, what Zhao Hai said to Liu Zhen before needs to be enacted. When the time comes, the Blood Knife Gang would fall into Liu Zhen’s hands.
Liu Zhen kept walking around as he processed his thoughts. Zhao Hai looked at Liu Zhen and said, “Brother Liu, this is an opportunity for you to control the Blood Knife Gang. You can’t miss this chance.”
Liu Zhen couldn’t help but get excited. He stopped walking around as a sense of resolve settled in his eyes. He took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself before looking at Zhao Hai, “Alright, I’ll listen to your plans. However, the matter of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Herb has certainly reached the ears of the Forbidden Path Sect. If the Forbidden Path Sect takes action, the disappearance of the Gang Master cannot be hidden. What if the sect moves against the gang?”
