I can gather experience beads

After staying up all night to practice his mental skills, Cao Rui was exhausted.

Cao Rui prepared to take a nap.

After a good rest, continue to take the Golden Jade Pill to improve the realm of Canglan Jue.

Cao Rui has also arranged the affairs of the incense master.

When Cao Rui came back last night, he told Tang Yueming that he would be in seclusion for a few days.

The matters of Youquan Street will be temporarily handed over to Tang Yueming to handle. If it doesn't work out, Cao Rui's younger brother Xiong Mingfang can be contacted.

Cao Rui just needs to focus on seclusion and adapt to the Canglan Jue.

Tang Yueming's swordsmanship has now reached a certain level of perfection, and he is already considered a third-rate master who can solve most of Cao Rui's problems.

According to the rules of the Giant Whale Gang, Tang Yueming can apply to become the leader of the Giant Whale Gang at any time.

Cao Rui also expressed that Tang Yueming could leave at any time.

But Tang Yueming still didn't want to leave Cao Rui.

He has a strong desire to be Tang Yueming's confidant rather than become the incense master.

Cao Rui then let him make the decision on his own.

......

When Cao Rui switched to practicing martial arts and went into seclusion.

An uninvited guest arrived in Blackwater Town, the headquarters of the Giant Whale Gang.

"Hmm? Liu Duan?"

"Weren't you in Ningyuan County with the gang leader fighting against the Viper Gang?"

Xiong Ming looked at the returning Liu Duan with confusion.

This Liu Duan is also the leader of the Giant Whale Gang. He is about 27 or 28 years old and has the strength of a third-rate master. In a small place, he can be considered to have good talent.

Liu Duan pointed to his bandaged arm.

"Look, I'm injured, and the gang leader asked me to come back and rest for a few days." Liu Duan said helplessly.

Xiong Mingfang showed an understanding look: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Duan shook his head: "We all work for the gang, it's the same."

"Cao Rui and I are just guarding Heishui Town. We are not as good as you who are risking our lives in battle." Xiong Mingfang sighed and said.

This is the gang leader's appointment, there is no point in talking further.

Seeing this, Liu Duan changed the subject and looked around: "By the way, where is Master Cao Xiang?"

"Oh, Brother Cao has been practicing in seclusion these days, and he should have made a breakthrough in his martial arts." Xiong Mingfang explained.

Liu Duan thought for a moment, "So that's how it is."

"Where are your men? I'll treat us to a meal at a restaurant tonight to welcome you, how about that?" Xiong Mingfang said.

Liu Duan smiled when he heard this: "My people are still in Ningyuan County. I came back alone this time."

"I'll treat you tonight, call all your gang members over."

"I just have no place to spend the money I earned in Ningyuan County."

Xiong Mingfang laughed: "Then I won't be polite. It's a good opportunity for you bastards to listen to Master Liu's teachings on how to fight the Viper Gang in Ningyuan County!"

"Is it true that Master Cao cannot attend the banquet?" Liu Duan asked.

Xiong Mingfang said, "As for Cao Rui, I'll let Tang Yueming know. He's Cao Rui's confidant, so it's uncertain whether he can come. We're all warriors, so cultivation is the most important thing, right?"

Xiong Mingfang was afraid that Liu Duan would misunderstand, so he tried hard to explain to Cao Rui.

Although he and Cao Rui became sworn brothers after drinking, Xiong Mingfang still took their brotherhood seriously.

"Master Xiong Xiang, you are right. Cultivation is important."

"Then I'll make arrangements. We'll meet at the restaurant tonight. If Brother Cao Rui can come, then come. If not, forget it."

Liu Duan and Xiong Mingfang made an agreement and then turned and left.

"He is still willing to entertain his gang members even though he is injured. Liu Duan has not been so generous in previous years. It seems that his temperament has changed after the bloody battle with the Viper Gang in Ningyuan County."

Xiong Mingfang recalled.

Liu Duan used to respect him, but their relationship was not very close.

This is the first time I have spoken so much.

Xiong Mingfang didn't think too much about it, and immediately ordered his men to pass on the message to prepare for a gathering in the evening.

the other side.

Liu Duan left the gang’s base and quietly returned to his home.

Push open the courtyard door.

In Liu Duan's home, his wife and daughter did not show up. Instead, a group of strong warriors appeared and occupied the entire courtyard.

These warriors have an obvious mark, which is a poisonous snake mark drawn on their necks.

All warriors near Ningyuan County know that this mark is unique to the warriors of the Viper Gang.

"How are things going?"

A warrior with a long scar on his right eye socket and a cold temperament came up to Liu Duan and asked in a buzzing voice.

When Liu Duan saw this person, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. This person was one of the famous warriors of the Viper Gang, Blood Snake Tan Han, who was at the peak of the second-rate level.

He is extremely cruel.

There are dozens of lives on my hands.

He was the one who led this trip to implement the plan of a surprise attack on Blackwater Town, the hometown of the Giant Whale Gang.

It has to be said that Yu Yijian is indeed capable. On the front battlefield in Ningyuan County, Yu Yijian led the Giant Whale Gang to fight against the Viper Gang and had the upper hand everywhere.

Today, more than half of Ningyuan County is controlled by the Giant Whale Gang.

If this continues, the defeat of the Viper Gang is only a matter of time.

To this end, the Viper Gang paid a huge price to make Liu Duan defect, and learned that Blackwater Town had been transporting supplies.

He decided to ask Liu Duan to cooperate in a surprise attack on the Giant Whale Gang's lair and wipe out all the Giant Whale Gang's remaining troops in Blackwater Town.

This will deal a blow to the Giant Whale Gang.

Liu Duan said, "I have already arranged to meet at the restaurant tonight. Of the two incense masters, Xiong Mingfang has already accepted the offer, but the other one, Cao Rui, is currently in seclusion and may not be able to make it."

"Retreat? That's quite a leisurely time." Blood Snake Tan Han said sarcastically.

"How strong is this person?"

Liu Duan was not very familiar with Cao Rui, so he spoke based on his previous knowledge: "Cao Rui is very young, only in his teens. He joined the gang last year. The previous gang leader must have seen his potential and recruited him to train him."

"In other words, the strength is not that great." Blood Snake Tan Han made a judgment.

Liu Duan nodded.

Blood Snake Tan Han asked, "Do you know where Cao Rui is in seclusion?"

"It should be in his own residence." Liu Duan replied.

"Fang Zi, when we take action at night, you take two people to kill Cao Rui."

"Tonight, I will make sure that not a single member of the Giant Whale Gang is left alive!" Blood Snake Tan said in a cold voice.

"I understand!" The Yinzhe warrior called Fangzi responded.

Blood Snake Tan Han naturally knew about the battles during this period, and that the strength of the Giant Whale Gang's leader was basically at a third-rate level.

Fang Zi is the confidant of Blood Snake Tan Han. His strength is very close to second-rate. Together with two elite gang members, it should be enough to deal with a fledgling Giant Whale Gang leader.

"This is a colorless and odorless Menghan powder. Find a way to mix it into the wine."

"The time is right, open the window and fire the flare."

"We will break in through the window and kill all the members of the Giant Whale Gang in one fell swoop. Do you understand?"

Blood Snake Tan Han handed over the knockout powder and flares.

Liu Duan reached out to take it and nodded repeatedly.

So, Liu Duan went out to the restaurant to book a room.

Blood Snake Tan Han and others were waiting at Liu Duan's house.

Soon, it got dark.

Members of the Giant Whale Gang began to head to the restaurant they had booked.

In order to facilitate the operation, Liu Duan specially booked the entire restaurant lobby.

He personally stood in front of the restaurant to greet people.
