Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chen Biao and the others weren't really that cowardly; at the very least, each of them was a martial artist capable of taking on ten opponents at once.

It is precisely because they are knowledgeable that they know how formidable Wichai is as a martial arts master.

They had already witnessed Wichai's ferocity in the car. Not to mention them, even their boss, Kim Daya, was nothing in front of Wichai.

As a result, a powerful martial arts master who could easily wipe out a well-organized modern armed squad was beheaded by Gao Wu in the first encounter.

Even the dumbest person knows how powerful Gao Wu is.

They brought Wei Chai to find Gao Wu; to put it nicely, they were leading the way; to put it bluntly, they were accomplices.

If it were anyone else, they might still have a chance to survive, but the one in front of them was a killing god who had wiped out everyone in the Black Lotus Society.

Chen Biao and the others all thought they were doomed; the immense fear left their minds blank.

Gao Wu did not rush to make a move; he patiently waited for the people to answer their questions.

Fortunately, Chen Biao gradually calmed down. He knew that dragging things out like this was useless, and they would only die in vain if the other side became impatient.

He forced himself to kneel on the ground, suppressing his fear, and said, "We are... Jin Sheng's people."

Before Gao Wu could speak, Chen Biao gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times: "We were just following orders, Master Gao, Master Gao, please don't kill us... I still have a wife and daughter to support, please don't kill me..."

By the end, his voice had turned into a sob. At first, it sounded a bit affected, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

This was a mixture of fear of death, shame for his pathetic state, and regret; a multitude of complex emotions converged, causing him to lose control of his emotions.

The others were too embarrassed to kneel down and beg for mercy, so they all stood there with their heads down, looking weak and ready to be dealt with.

"Jin Sheng, Jin Daya?"

Gao Wu had heard Lin Jiayi say that Jin Daya was the one who disposed of the body at the Regent Hotel.

With the complete collapse of Wo Shing and the loss of its branch in Deep Water Bay, Kam Sing seized the opportunity to profit from the situation.

The reason Jin Sheng would collude with the Black Lotus Society is probably because Jin Daya was afraid of them, which is why he brought people here to find them.

It's true that Jin Daya is unscrupulous, but since the two sides didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, it's not surprising that Jin Daya betrayed them.

Only local gangs could quickly locate Old Lin's old house.

Gao Wu had long suspected that the old house was unsafe; in such a secluded little village, having even one more person would attract the attention of the neighbors.

The village lacks daily necessities, and the elderly often go out. A group of old men and women gather together every day to gossip; who would keep your secrets?

The reason he didn't mention it was because he didn't care at all.

This Black Lotus Society expert came alone, confident that he had them cornered, because he was very confident in his martial arts skills.

Similarly, he had great confidence in his martial prowess, and even if the Heavenly King came, he could still fight back with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse. The outcome was still uncertain.

Gao Wu glanced at the chipped blade in his hand and said, "Go back and tell Jin Daya that I need a fine sword."

Chen Biao was puzzled. What did Gao Wu mean? Not to kill them?

Gao Wu turned around, took a few steps, stopped, and said, "Take the body away."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Chen Biao answered in a series of questions. By the time he looked up, Gao Wu had already disappeared.

Chen Biao slowly stood up from the ground. He lowered his head and silently clenched his fists, wondering whether he should kill a few of his underlings to silence them.

In the world of business, the most important thing is face. Three parts of that face are earned by yourself, and seven parts depend on the flattery of others.

I've lost so much face today, kowtowing and crying as I begged. I've completely lost face.

Someone like Gao Wu would naturally not go around talking about such things.

The key lies with these henchmen. Seeing him make a fool of himself, they not only lost all respect for him, but also couldn't help but gossip about him behind his back.

If this news gets out, how will he maintain his foothold in Jinsheng, and how will he lead his underlings?

Chen Biao hesitated. His underlings were all martial artists, and he might not be able to kill them all at once. If one of them escaped, it would be troublesome.

Another problem is, how do we tell the boss if we kill him all? He really doesn't have the guts to pin it on Gao Wu.

The henchmen couldn't see Chen Biao's face, nor could they imagine that he had already harbored murderous intentions towards them.

One of the henchmen said with a look of relief, "We're really lucky to be alive!"

"May the Second Master protect me!"

One of the more sensible younger brothers cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're only safe because Brother Biao pleaded for us. We should thank Brother Biao!"

Chen Biao hesitated for a long time, but ultimately didn't have the guts to kill four martial artists in one go. Those guys still had guns; it was too dangerous.

He forced a smile and said, "This incident is too embarrassing. I only ask one thing of everyone: please don't spread this around."

The underlings hadn't taken it too seriously at first, but when they saw Chen Biao's menacing gaze, they quickly nodded.

After cleaning up Weichai's body, the group was forced to sit with it, and they couldn't help but curse and swear.

Chen Biao, who was driving, really wanted to drive the car straight into the ravine. He was wearing a seatbelt and should be fine, but the guys would be crippled if they didn't die.

Chen Biao harbored malicious intentions, but ultimately refused to take the risk. What if he died in the accident...?

Back at the Jin Sheng Hall, Jin Daya was still awake, waiting for news. He was horrified to see Weichai's body. After Chen Biao recounted what had happened, Jin Daya was even more shocked and furious. How could Weichai be so incompetent and still pretend to be something he'd never imagined?
Damn it, they've screwed me over.

There was nothing he could do; Wichai had Basong behind him, and he dared not offend him. But he had seriously offended Gao Wu.

Gao Wu, who killed Weichai in one move, would have no trouble killing him.

Jin Daya couldn't help but think of the Regent Hotel filled with corpses, and a chill ran down his spine.

Now that we've provoked this killing god, what will happen next?
What did Gao Wu mean when he said he lacked a sword? Did he want a precious sword? Or was he implying that he should deliver his own head to him?
Jin Daya had been wandering the martial arts world for decades and had experienced many ups and downs, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Because Gao Wu is just an eighteen-year-old boy, he doesn't belong to any gangs, and he can't even be considered a member of the martial arts world.

Judging from Gao Wu's style of doing things, this young man has no sense of restraint at all; he kills whenever he wants...

Jin Daya was also confused. What should he do?
With his wealth, he could live a comfortable life abroad. But he had hundreds of followers in Nangang, and his power and influence were immense.

If he runs away, he'll just be an old man; who will care about him? Even if he's skilled in martial arts, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly outside.

After pondering for a long time, Jin Daya decided to ask Dog Master for advice. Dog Master had asked him to cooperate with the Black Lotus Society, and he wanted to hear what a smart man could do.

Upon hearing this, Dog Master thought for a moment and said, "Find an old fellow who knows Red Tiger a bit, and have him take some money and a sword to apologize. If he accepts it, then everything will be fine..."

"If Basong comes again, you should incite the two of them to fight, and then reap the benefits. Regardless of who wins, you should cooperate with the winner."

"Anyway, the Deep Water Bay area is all in your hands, so you can't afford to lose out."

Jin Daya slapped his thigh: "Brilliant! Dog Master's brain is really good. I'll treat you to tea later!"

After hanging up the phone, Jin Daya immediately contacted an old man in Hesheng called Lao Qiang. Although he was just a martial artist, he was of the same generation as Lao Gui. He didn't actually hold any official position in Hesheng; he was just a figurehead. He was very familiar with everyone there.

When Lao Qiang heard that there was a reward of 100,000, he immediately agreed.

To show his sincerity, Jin Daya found a master swordsmith and bought a million-dollar sword named Qing Shuang.

It is modeled after a Tang Dynasty sword, four feet long, weighs fifteen catties, and is forged from the finest alloy.

Along with the Azure Frost Sword came ten gold bricks, worth four million.

In Nangang, the average office worker earns only a couple hundred yuan a month. Gifts worth five million yuan would be extremely painful for even someone as wealthy as Jin Daya to give away.

However, Gao Wu was a powerful figure capable of killing Wei Cai; he was at least a martial arts grandmaster. Killing such a person would be easier than killing a chicken.

For now, it's best to pay up to avoid trouble. In the world of business, you have to be flexible and adaptable; you can make money, but you also have to be willing to spend it.

Besides, this money is only temporarily held by Gao Wu. Once Basong arrives with the Black Lotus Society experts, they can fight each other to the death.

First, find a place to put Wichai's body, and then wait and see when Pasom replies.

However, Gao Wu is a bit scary. It's best to stay hidden for now.

Actually, he could have hidden himself and observed the situation, but the lesson from the Black Lotus Society was there. If he could hide, how could Jin Sheng, such a large organization, hide?
If Gao Wu really comes up with his sword and kills everyone, then we're truly doomed!

Old Gun, who had been entrusted with this important task, felt that he had a good relationship with Red Tiger, so he went to the Lin family's old house to deliver gifts in a grand manner.

Lin Jiayi was quite surprised to see Lao Qiang bring gifts.

The old guy was called Old Gun because he was old and lecherous. He had tried to take advantage of her before, but she beat him up on the spot. After that, he behaved himself whenever he saw her and never dared to be presumptuous again.

This old guy is hardly anyone in Hesheng who cares about him, yet he dares to come here and act as a peacemaker. He's really courting death. Or maybe this old guy doesn't even understand the situation.

Old Gun wasn't really clear on the details; he just assumed that Jin Daya and Tiehemen had some kind of conflict, and that he was asked to help deliver gifts.

He immediately tried to establish a connection with Lin Jiayi upon meeting her, reminiscing about the past. He seemed quite sentimental.

He went on and on with the same old platitudes, saying that we were all from the same clan, all worshipped the same leader, and that we should value harmony and not let outsiders laugh at us, and so on...

Lin Jiayi didn't say anything, she just kept looking at Gao Wu.

Gao Wu didn't listen to what the old man was saying at all; he was looking through the gifts that Jin Daya had given him.

With gold priced at 110 yuan per gram, a two-kilogram gold bar would indeed have some weight to it.

The other party offered a large amount of gold, so they were at least a smart person. He didn't really care about the gold bars; the key was the Frost Sword.

The sword has a black sharkskin scabbard, black and gray metal fittings, and a simple and elegant design.

Gao Wu casually drew the Azure Frost Sword. The clear blue blade carried a chilling aura, and the blade was covered with beautiful frost-like patterns.

With a light, effortless swing, the blade's center of gravity rests twenty centimeters above the hilt, making it remarkably stable.

After all, there is source energy in this world, and some metals have absorbed source energy and changed their physical properties, so the swords that can be forged also have some extraordinary physical properties.

In particular, this sword is compatible with true qi, and the sword qi flows more and more when it is circulated. If I had this sword in my hand, I would have broken Wei Cai's hand and leg with one strike last night, and it would have been impossible to hurt him.

Gao Wu flicked the spine of the sword with his finger, and the blade hummed softly, the sound deep and resonant. He said with satisfaction, "A fine sword."

Seeing that Gao Wu was satisfied, Lao Qiang put on a fawning smile before speaking, but the cyan sword light flowed as it returned to its sheath.

The sword was sheathed, but its gleaming sound lingered, making Old Gun's heart pound.

When Old Gun came to his senses, he found that Gao Wu was gone. He looked at Red Tiger in astonishment, not understanding what Gao Wu meant. (End of Chapter)
