NOVPUBDao Wufeng!
Of course, Kuoba Ming had a deep impression of this man. He was a fellow member of the Elder Council, and Su Changkong fell at his hand. He also matched the Vice Master of the Life Extinguishing Association, Pang Shengwu, in strength and had even killed Superior Xuanming.
However, what Kuoba Ming hadn’t expected was that on this mission which he took as a detour, he would encounter Dao Wufeng near Ink Forest Prefecture City!
"Is... is he really Dao Wufeng? How could he appear here?"
While Kuoba Ming found it unbelievable, he also couldn’t fathom why Su Changkong would be in this place. Could it be an ambush set specifically for him?
A look of gravity and wariness filled Kuoba Ming’s face; he was acutely aware of the terror that ’Dao Wufeng’ represented!
"Sikong Zhan, Sikong Huang, do you know Kuoba Ming?"
Realizing the uninvited guest, Kuoba Ming, was acquainted with Su Changkong, and noting Kuoba Ming’s exceedingly wary attitude towards him, Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang understood that there was a relationship.
Su Changkong hadn’t expected that on his return to the Giant Whale Gang, he would just so happen to run into Kuoba Ming. At the same time, a strong intent to kill filled his heart; had he not been here, the Giant Whale Gang would likely have faced disaster today!
Su Changkong said coldly, "Kuoba Ming, why would someone of your standing act against the Giant Whale Gang?"
Su Changkong wanted to know what Kuoba Ming’s objective was.
The expression on Kuoba Ming’s face changed. The young man before him was really that Dao Wufeng! Even though the appearance was different, perhaps this was his true face!
"Damn... to encounter Dao Wufeng in such a trivial place?" Kuoba Ming cursed inwardly.
It was like swimming in a small river full of little fish and shrimp, only to run into a huge shark!
Hearing Su Changkong’s question, Kuoba Ming replied with a smile, "Brother Blade, I’m just here on a mission, purely executing a task. The world has descended into chaos, and in order to seize some opportunities, intelligence is very important to us. Therefore, we need our own intelligence stations in all countries and regions.
My visit to the Giant Whale Gang was without malice; I just wanted the Gang to become our eyes and collect intelligence for us."
Kuoba Ming was not lying. With the great tide’s arrival and the start of turbulent times, intelligence was extremely valuable. They needed to know immediately about any region where a Divine Seed appeared, or where great fortune was found, so they could compete for it.
So the Life Extinguishing Association began to make arrangements, sending powerful members to handle various martial artist associations with little background, subduing them to become their eyes and keeping tabs on disturbances and irregularities everywhere, enabling them to react at once.
And as for the official members of the Life Exterminating Association, the Monster Warriors who had fused with Demon Monster Crystal Cores were actually very rare, and the Life Extinguishing Association’s plans were not just for the Great Flame Empire but the surrounding countries as well, which made them slightly short-staffed.
Even Kuoba Ming, a member of the Elder Council, personally executed missions to subdue various gangs and forces across the region. They didn’t need to play a significant role; their only task was to gather intelligence!
Kuoba Ming’s area of responsibility was nearby, and in Ink Forest Prefecture City, the Giant Whale Gang, having no significant background but numerous and strong, naturally became a target of the Life Exterminating Association. Kuoba Ming had already subdued many gangs and families and thought that subduing the Giant Whale Gang would be a piece of cake.
With his strength, the Giant Whale Gang had no means to resist, allowing him to manipulate them as he pleased.
But what he never anticipated was that ’Dao Wufeng’ would be among the Giant Whale Gang, and judging by Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang’s references to him, their relationship was profoundly deep!
"Could this Dao Wufeng, whose identity is a mystery and seems to have appeared out of nowhere, have once been a member of the Giant Whale Gang?"
Kuoba Ming also secretly speculated that with Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang calling him ’little brother,’ his connection with the Giant Whale Gang was undoubtedly deep. A minor prefecture city gang gave birth to such a terrifying powerhouse? No one would believe it if told!
"Is that so..." Su Changkong guessed that what Kuoba Ming said was probably true. He had learned from Lian Tianlu recently that all parties were becoming restless, and the Life Extinguishing Association was also planning moves. Precisely for this reason, Su Changkong had returned to Black Iron Manor and the Giant Whale Gang to check on the situation.
Unexpectedly, he truly encountered an unexpected visit! The Life Extinguishing Association was subduing various forces in different regions to collect intelligence for them, to keep abreast of the dynamics everywhere!
Kuoba Ming gave a courteous gesture, "Brother Blade, it was presumptuous of me, not knowing you were here. I shall take my leave and not disturb you any further!"
Su Changkong held a deep grudge against the Life Extinguishing Association, but Kuoba Ming knew that matching himself against Su Changkong, a man of unfathomable strength, would most likely result in more losses than victories, and he might even lose his life.
Thus, Kuoba Ming appeared very polite, abandoning the attempt to subdue the Giant Whale Gang, and instead wanted to leave and plan for the long term.
"This Dao Wufeng has a deep connection with the Giant Whale Gang... I can completely use the Giant Whale Gang against him!"
Kuoba Ming secretly pondered; today was not entirely without gain, knowing this root of Dao Wufeng could turn into a capital to use against him!
The Life Extinguishing Association and ’Dao Wufeng’ had long been in an irreconcilable conflict, and any means to deal with him were fair game; in the eyes of the Life Extinguishing Association, there was no such thing as ’dishonorable’!
"Kuoba Ming, you’ve only just arrived, and now you wish to leave?"
Yet, Su Changkong said with a nonchalant smile, although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with a cold killing intent.
Su Changkong also well understood this point; if he allowed Kuoba Ming to escape, the Giant Whale Gang would surely be doomed! Kuoba Ming must be detained!
Let alone anything else, given the enmity with the Life Extinguishing Association, any encounter with its members had to end in annihilation.
Upon hearing this, Kuoba Ming’s expression also turned cold as he said harshly, "Dao Wufeng, I acknowledge your formidable strength, but if we were to fight, you might not be able to detain me!"
