The moonlight was faint, and the night remained profoundly still; the events unfolding in the alley had disturbed few. Ye Jingyu felt no concern over how Jin Xiaolong would dispose of the corpses—if an ei Gang boss couldn't handle a few dead bodies, what use was he?

Having settled the Jinlong Gang's affairs, Ye Jingyu did not immediately return to the Zhenguo Residence. Instead, he led Lin Xiaoyi and Xue Hengzhi toward the headquarters of the White Tiger Gang...

Unlike the Jinlong Gang, the White Tiger Gang's leader, Lei Lang, was once a celebrated figure in the martial world, his cultivation having already reached the Xiantian Realm. However, he had been grievously wounded, crippling one of his wrists, forcing him onto the path of the ei Gang—a path looked upon with great disdain by many...

Leveraging his ruthlessness and formidable strength, he had managed to build the White Tiger Gang into one of the three major factions of Yunjing within just a few short years...

Yet, Lei Lang knew that despite being the Gang Leader, relying solely on this band of vagrants made avenging his deceased wife and daughter an impossibility. That sect was simply too overwhelmingly powerful...

At this moment, he sat atop the main hall of the White Tiger Gang, his brow deeply furrowed, staring at his ruined right hand, letting out a heavy sigh...

"Brother, someone is asking to see you outside?" Just then, a subordinate rushed in from outside, speaking with utmost deference...

"It's so late, I'm about to retire, see who the hell they are!" Lei Lang roared, his bottled-up frustration making his temper short...

"Heh heh, Boss Lei certainly has a fiery temper..." But at that precise moment, a crisp sound echoed from outside. Lei Lang's expression shifted drastically...

At this juncture, Ye Jingyu, accompanied by Xue Hengzhi, walked in step by step. Lin Xiaoyi clung tightly to Ye Jingyu's side, seemingly terrified that those men might harm him...

Although the White Tiger Gang had fewer members than the Jinlong Gang and their enterprises weren't as vast, their combat effectiveness was the strongest among the three factions—a direct result of the guidance provided by their leader, Lei Lang...

Seeing Ye Jingyu and his two companions barge in so openly, the members could not possibly stand by. They raised their swords and blades, lunging toward the trio...

Gazing at these minor characters rushing at him, Ye Jingyu didn't even spare them a glance, walking calmly toward the courtyard. Lin Xiaoyi, however, turned ashen with fear, but seeing that his Young Master had not moved, he forced himself to suppress his dread and kept pace beside Ye Jingyu...

Xue Hengzhi witnessed this, letting out a quiet lament in his heart. He took a step forward, swept his single sleeve, and unleashed a surge of overwhelming power. It struck the subordinates squarely, instantly blasting them all backward...

To think that he, a dignified Great Grandmaster, had to lay a hand on these men, who were at most at the Martial Master realm—if this got out, it would be too shameful...

Xue Hengzhi was deeply vexed, but what could he do about his frustration?

There was someone even more vexed than him. When Lei Lang rushed out of the main hall, he caught sight of Xue Hengzhi’s casual sleeve-sweep, and his carefully trained men were sent flying away like kites whose strings had been cut. He couldn't help but draw a sharp, cold breath...

One must remember that even he would have to expend considerable effort to repel these elites of his. Yet, the opponent achieved it with such ease by merely waving a sleeve—what level of mastery was this?

"I don't know who you are to visit so late, and for what purpose?" Aware of the opponent's terrifying might, Lei Lang's heart tightened. He instinctively took a step back, ready to flee at any moment. Such a powerful martial artist could absolutely not be someone from the ei path, nor would an ordinary sect seek trouble with him. The only possibility was that sect, but how could they know his identity?

"Heh heh, Boss Lei, do not panic. This Young Master has only come here to have a good talk with you..." Ye Jingyu completely ignored the gangsters, who were visibly frightened yet clearly on guard, and strode directly into the main hall where Lei Lang was seated. Xue Hengzhi and Lin Xiaoyi halted just outside...

Whether influenced by Xue Hengzhi's previous effortless maneuver or Ye Jingyu's composed demeanor, not a single person in the courtyard dared to advance. This, of course, was also because Lei Lang had issued no command...

"I don't know you at all, what is there to discuss?" Lei Lang asked Ye Jingyu, who was now standing quite close, his body maintaining a careful distance of about ten feet...

If the other party truly belonged to that sect, they would likely have already begun a massacre instead of engaging in conversation...

"Indeed, we do not know each other, but I must ask you one thing: Do you desire vengeance?" Ye Jingyu was quite satisfied with Lei Lang's wariness; it seemed the man had lived in terror for many years...

"Vengeance? Vengeance for what?" Lei Lang appeared utterly bewildered, yet a tidal wave of shock surged within his heart...

"Li Canglong! The Tiangang Sect murdered your entire family, and even your right arm was severed by Yue Longkuang. Do you not wish for revenge?" Ye Jingyu suddenly emphasized his words. Although Lin Xiaoyi alone couldn't uncover these secrets, he had Luo Ruofeng backing him...

"Who exactly are you?" Upon hearing Ye Jingyu reveal the secret he had harbored for years and utter his true name, Lei Lang's face drastically changed...

"The Zhenguo Great General, Ye Jingyu..." Seeing the look on Lei Lang's face, Ye Jingyu smiled and announced his name...

Hearing that name, Lei Lang's expression shifted again, then slowly eased. He lifted his head to look at Ye Jingyu and spoke directly, "What is it you need me to do..."

Lei Lang was no fool. He understood that after all that had been said, the visitor ultimately wanted him to do something for him. Though he couldn't grasp how an ei Gang leader could possibly assist a Great General, he knew he held no power to refuse this request...

"Heh heh, you truly are a very astute man..." Ye Jingyu was slightly surprised by Lei Lang's immediate compliance but then nodded with satisfaction...

Following this, Ye Jingyu recounted his own feud with the Tiangang Sect, explained what he required of Lei Lang, and promised that he would be given an opportunity for vengeance when the time was right...

Lei Lang felt compelled to believe Ye Jingyu's words. He knew that challenging the Tiangang Sect with his current strength was sheer delusion, but with Ye Jingyu's backing, it would no longer be a fantasy. He saw no reason to refuse Ye Jingyu's proposal...
