Ye Feng ventured alone to the headquarters of the local largest gang, not out of blind confidence.
Although his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Gangwu Realm, he practiced the Supreme Technique, which was the mysterious Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique. The True Essence within him, both in quantity and quality, even surpassed that of some ordinary mid-stage Gangwu Realm experts. Moreover, he possessed the High-Grade Profound Combat Technique, Light Splitting Sword Technique, and combined with astonishing cultivation spells, he had enough strength to contend not only with peak early-stage Gangwu Realm warriors but also with ordinary mid-stage Gangwu Realm fighters.
If worse came to worst, with the Wind Control Technique and Conceal Breath Technique at his disposal, escaping from this place would be a simple task for Ye Feng.
Of course, facing three Gangwu Realm experts and hundreds of gang members with varying strengths posed risks for Ye Feng. His willingness to take this risk stemmed from his desire to remain true to himself.
The Cloud Chaser Leopard was secondary; it was being plotted against by the Dragon Gang at the port of Linyuan City that truly motivated Ye Feng's visit.
Once one reaches the Gangwu Realm, advancing further is no longer as simple as condensing True Essence. The elevation of one's mindset is equally crucial. The Dragon Gang dared to scheme against him; reclaiming a bit of face in a harmless manner was necessary.
If he suppressed his anger and gave up seeking revenge on the Dragon Gang, while it might not affect his mindset in the short term, when it came time for him to break through to the Xuanwu Realm in the future, this small matter could turn into a mental demon during his breakthrough, impacting his cultivation.
Many Gangwu Realm warriors have failed to break through to the Xuanwu Realm because they overlooked such seemingly trivial matters that contradicted their mindset, leading to heavy mental demons during their breakthroughs and ultimately resulting in failure.
The Xuanwu Realm requires an understanding of the laws of heaven and earth; if one's mindset does not improve, how can one break through and comprehend these laws?
Ye Feng smiled lightly, occasionally acting on impulse felt quite good, even if it carried a hint of arrogance.
Fan Chen beside him certainly did not share this sentiment; arrogance only works if one has power on their side.
In Fan Chen's eyes, Ye Feng was no different from a madman.
"Such audacity to wreak havoc in my Angry Flood Gang!" A loud voice echoed from the front of the main hall. Underneath a vividly depicted image of an angry flood dragon stirring up waves, a stern-looking middle-aged man brushed off the hem of his robe embroidered with golden dragons and strode down the steps with a dark expression.
"Lord Guang!"
"Master! The Brothers were incompetent and couldn't stop him. We disturbed your birthday banquet; please forgive us."
Guests bowed in acknowledgment, while more members of the Angry Flood Gang knelt in greeting, their faces pale.
Despite exerting all their strength as hundreds of gang members, they could not stop a youth under eighteen years old. They felt utterly humiliated and braced themselves for punishment from their leader.
Guang Cheng'an had no intention of punishing them; Ye Feng's faint yet powerful aura left him alarmed. The terrifying pressure emanating from an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm was evident. Although Ye Feng's cultivation appeared to be at the early stage of the Gangwu Realm—slightly inferior to his own—his momentum was no less formidable.
"This kid is probably the legendary genius martial artist. With my strength, I don't have a hundred percent confidence in winning." Guang Cheng'an was not an unreasonable leader; in fact, he was quite magnanimous, considered a gentleman among the dirty underground forces. Because of this, the ordinary members in the hall were not punished.
"The genius martial artists of the Gangwu Realm are not something you can stop. It has nothing to do with you, so step back." Guang Cheng'an waved his hand, signaling the remaining members in the hall to withdraw. He deliberately released True Essence to check on his unconscious subordinates and found that they only had minor injuries, which were not life-threatening. His expression relaxed considerably.
The young man did not strike heavily, indicating that there might still be room for negotiation. Guang Cheng'an stood about fifty meters away from Ye Feng, watching the seemingly reckless yet actually composed young man with great interest.
"Even if you are a martial artist from the Gangwu Realm, you should still speak reasonably!"
Ye Feng slightly raised his head and squinted at Guang Cheng'an. He was quite surprised by Guang Cheng'an's actions; he had originally thought that leaders of underground forces like the Angry Flood Gang would mostly be ruthless and violent individuals. Given how incompetent his subordinates were, he would surely be furious and might even resort to killing.
If that were truly the case, Ye Feng wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
Guang Cheng'an did not punish those innocent members. Although he appeared somewhat rough on the outside, his actions were surprisingly humble and cautious.
"So it turns out today is Master Guang's birthday. I am Ye Feng, and I did not mean to disturb you. I just came to ask for something that the Dragon Gang Leader owes me." Since Guang Cheng'an was someone who valued reason, Ye Feng would not act recklessly; being casual was neither arrogance nor a baseless grudge against others.
Ye Feng's reaction did not surprise Guang Cheng'an.
"What an interesting fellow," he thought to himself while slightly bowing and saying aloud, "So it is Young Master Ye visiting us; it’s a pleasure."
Guang Cheng'an was astonished by Ye Feng's demeanor and cultivation level. He speculated that Ye Feng must be a member of some prominent family out for experience or perhaps intending to participate in the renowned Heavenly Mechanism Sect entrance examination in Nanling County, passing through this area on his way.
"The Dragon Gang Leader is indeed visiting our gang; however, I have a close relationship with him. I know quite a bit about his affairs. Don’t say he owes you something; it’s likely that the Dragon Gang Leader doesn’t even know you."
The question was somewhat aggressive, but Ye Feng remained unfazed. He casually tossed down more than ten tokens onto the ground.
Everyone instinctively craned their necks to look over. Upon seeing what these tokens looked like, they all gasped in shock.
"Isn't this the waist token of core members of the Dragon Gang? How could this kid have so many? There are more than ten of them!"
"Could it be that this young man went to the Dragon Gang, killed over ten core members, and then collected their tokens?"
Soon, discussions erupted among them. Most were members of underground forces who were very familiar with the waist tokens of Dragon Gang members and immediately recognized that these tokens did not belong to ordinary Dragon Gang disciples.
Guang Cheng'an also looked at the badges, his expression slightly changing. Could it be that this polite young man in front of him intended to use these items to threaten him?
Fan Chen, on the other hand, turned pale, secretly thinking that this was bad. When did these badges fall into his hands? He had no recollection of it at all. Did he perhaps take them while knocking down those brothers?
"I just arrived in Linyuan City and hadn't even left the port when I was targeted by several members of the Dragon Gang!" Ye Feng didn't care about others' thoughts and spoke calmly, as if recounting an ordinary incident.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone suddenly realized.
The port of Linyuan City was indeed the territory of the Dragon Gang. The shady dealings that the Dragon Gang conducted at the port were not unfamiliar to the underground forces in Linyuan City. This young man specifically named the Dragon Gang, clearly indicating that he had become a target like those unfortunate souls at the port.
Unfortunately, this time the situation was not ordinary; not only had he killed a group of elite disciples from the Dragon Gang, but he had also come specifically to confront them.
Some people were clamoring, others were discussing; in short, it was a noisy scene. However, Ye Feng continued to quietly tell his story. Although his voice was low, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"My control over True Essence is even superior to theirs!" An insider could discern the nuances in his voice, and Guang Cheng'an clearly caught the presence of True Essence Power.
Using True Essence to amplify one's voice and suppress noise is something any Gangwu Realm martial artist could do, but delivering a clear and distinct message to everyone's ears without disturbing their conversations required exceptional mastery over True Essence.
"Every place has its own rules. I don't want to cause trouble; I originally planned to spend a little money to avoid disaster," Ye Feng said, clearing his throat.
During this brief pause, some people scoffed. He had already barged into someone else's territory and still claimed he didn't want trouble?
"However, the disciples of the Dragon Gang mentioned that they had a Cloud Chaser Leopard for sale and invited me to their main hall," Ye Feng continued, his voice clear.
Everyone fell silent; it was obviously a trap, yet the young man believed it wholeheartedly.
"It must have been intentional," someone muttered quietly.
"Since it was a Cloud Chaser Leopard that I urgently needed and they specifically said they wanted to sell it to me, it would be reasonable for me to spend some money on it. Unexpectedly, this group brought me to a secluded place." Pointing at the badges on the ground, Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "They wanted to kill me. I'm not some great saint; naturally, I wouldn't just sit back and wait for death. These badges are proof taken from them."
"In addition to physical evidence, there are also witnesses. This brother named Fan Chen is one of the Dragon Gang members who initially led me into the ambush site but later repented and agreed to bring me here." Ye Feng pointed at Fan Chen, whose face was becoming increasingly difficult to read.
The crowd erupted in an uproar, and Guang Cheng'an frowned as well. With both witness and evidence present at this point, if he continued arguing, he truly had no grounds left to stand on.
"Young Hero, you are betraying me, **nakedly betraying me," Fan Chen cried, tears streaming down his face.
Ye Feng continued to express his grievances with a bitter face, but it looked more like he was framing some wealthy scion of the Dragon Gang. Some even suspected that Ye Feng was an imposter from the Zhuangjia clan, specifically here to cause trouble for the Dragon Gang and trying to seize the Cloud Chaser Leopard from him.
"I originally planned to buy his Cloud Chaser Leopard properly, but now I am being ambushed and hunted down by his subordinates. Although I narrowly escaped, the danger at that moment is still fresh in my memory. I came here just to seek justice; for me, the Cloud Chaser Leopard represents that justice."
Ye Feng's words were firm, but Guang Cheng'an's brows furrowed even tighter.
The other party was indeed not here to cause trouble but to collect a debt. Justice seemed elusive, yet they had specifically named the need for the Cloud Chaser Leopard and brought witnesses and evidence. He truly did not know how to refute this.
"You arrogant brat, do you know where you are and who you are talking to?" Long Xinghai, who had been lurking in the shadows, could no longer hold back. He stepped out from the main hall, and with each step he took, his aura surged threefold. By the time he stood shoulder to shoulder with Guang Cheng'an, the aura of a Gangwu Realm early-stage martial artist had completely erupted.
The azure protective True Essence expanded from within him, swirling around his body. The quiet hall resonated with crackling sounds as waves of energy roared; this was the explosive sound generated when True Essence operated at its peak and rubbed against the surrounding air.
Ye Feng looked at the ground with indifference; fifty meters was a distance that could be disregarded by a Gangwu Realm martial artist's speed.
Before Ye Feng could react, Long Xinghai suddenly vanished from beside Guang Cheng'an. The solid marble ground beneath him began to crack inch by inch, spreading out like spider silk from where he had previously stood.
