Bailu Street is one of the seven major streets in Qingshui City that sell resources for cultivators. Although it is only a hundred meters long and has only more than two hundred shops and stalls, the profits it generates every day are enough to make countless people envious.

The fat fish leader was swaggering down the street, arrogant and haughty, followed by several thugs with black dragon tattoos on their bodies.

As he passed by stalls and shops, many merchants fawned over the fat fish leader, to which he merely nodded slightly, appearing somewhat arrogant. Undeniably, he did have the right to be arrogant.

The entire Bailu Street is a property under the protection of the Black Dragon Society. In addition to Bailu Street, there are two other streets under the control of the Black Dragon Society, and Yulong Road also occupies three streets.

Although Zhanlong Pavilion is not weak, it is often suppressed by the Li family, the overlord of Qingshui City, because it is not on good terms with them. This is why it only controls one street.

Don't underestimate this small street; it's lucrative. Anything related to cultivators can easily fetch a good price.

Forty percent of the merchants' net profit has to be deducted and handed over to the Black Dragon Society. This percentage is indeed a bit high, and most merchants complain about it to some extent, but they can only pay money to keep things peaceful and avoid being harassed by those miscellaneous people.

Ordinary thugs make a living by stealing and robbing, but these gangsters never expect to make money through such despicable means.

Money can only keep generating more money if it's in the hands of businessmen. How comfortable it is to live off rent every day!

Once a robbery is committed, the reputation will be ruined, and who would dare to buy things here in the future?

The fat fish leader lived up to his name; his massive body weaved through the crowd, his two cunning eyes scanning the surroundings. He wasn't just putting on an act; he was genuinely observing carefully.

With his intuition as a third-level cultivator, ordinary spies and thieves could not escape his keen eyes and could be identified in an instant.

Seeing that he hadn't found anything after patrolling, the fat fish leader was somewhat disappointed. He had been hoping to catch a few thieves or spies to kill some time, but it seemed that was out of the question today.

The poor guy still doesn't realize that three people are secretly eyeing his obese body.

"Fu Jiu, when did you become enemies with the Black Dragon Society?" Li Si asked curiously.

“Last time, I was accidentally targeted by them. If I hadn’t been lucky, I might never have seen you again.” Fu Jiu’s eyes were icy.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons he intercepted the leader of the fat fish gang. The more important reason was that he wanted to kill a fourth-level expert within a month.

There are only a few fourth-tier powerhouses in Qingshui City. Apart from Prince Li and the law enforcers, it seems that the only other one is the leader of the Three Underground Dragons.

He still had some impression of these three people: Jin Ying of the Fish and Dragon Path, Wei Zheng of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion, and Black Dragon of the Black Dragon Society.

Jin Ying was indifferent to worldly affairs and remained silent even in her previous life, only gradually revealing her power when the Dragon Palace Secret Realm opened.

Wei Zheng had a good reputation, a wide circle of friends, and exceptional skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live a comfortable life despite the Li family's suppression.

Black Dragon is a complete madman, always causing trouble everywhere, and he has an irreconcilable hatred for Wei Zheng of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion. He's a good candidate to be used.

This kind of madman may seem intimidating at first glance, but he is actually the easiest to deal with.

The three of them had just made a grand vow, so they couldn't just go home, wash up, and go to sleep, could they? They had to at least sacrifice someone to prove their resolve and commemorate this special day.

Fu Jiuyi thought that he still had some grudge against the Black Dragon Society, so he immediately took Bai Qi and Li Si to Bailu Street.

This is one of the Black Dragon Society's territories, so we can use this place as a starting point to take down Fat Fish, one of the Black Dragon Society's three top lieutenants, thus crippling the Black Dragon Society.

Li Si smiled upon hearing this: "Hehe, let's double-cross each other today. I've heard that these seven streets are incredibly wealthy, and the person in charge of these streets must be quite rich as well."

"That person is very strong," Bai Qi warned.

Fu Jiu nodded: "It's always better to be careful. The opponent has just entered the third level. With the strength of the three of us, we may be able to take him down."

"Bai Qi, you have reached a critical moment to advance to the third rank. Taking this opportunity to experience the power of the third rank will save you a lot of trouble."

Although the Blood and Qi Fruit can help them temper their flesh and blood and enhance their physical strength, it doesn't help them advance much. It's okay to force them to advance to the first or second level, but it becomes somewhat unsustainable after that.

The reason why Fu Jiu's strength could improve so quickly was mainly because he had reached the sixth level in his previous life. With his realm already established, breaking through to the next level was not difficult for him.

He was also talking to himself about what he had just said. In his previous life, he had never even experienced what it felt like to be at the third rank, yet his strength had already soared to the sixth rank. Now that he could personally experience the power of the third rank, it would be of great benefit to him.

"Remember, cultivators at the third tier can unleash their life potential to fight, and their strength can increase several times in an instant when they unleash it. Try to avoid close combat with them."

Even though he hadn't experienced the power of the third tier much, he had seen many third-tier cultivators and naturally knew how powerful the third tier was.

"Hmm." Bai Qi nodded, secretly keeping Fu Jiu's words in mind.

"I know, I know, didn't I already say that?" Li Si appeared nonchalant on the surface, but he knew better than anyone else what was going on.

His body was already weak, so he definitely wouldn't engage in close combat with these monsters when the fight started.

On the other side, the fat fish leader wandered around aimlessly, but couldn't find any spies or thieves to pass the time. Bored, he was about to leave.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a bad feeling ever since he entered the street.

Could they be being targeted? The leader of the fat fish gang chuckled, not paying much attention. After all, in Qingshui City, a third-level cultivator was already considered a master, and killing such a master was no easy task.

Furthermore, this place is not far from the Black Dragon Society headquarters, and he believes that no one would dare to make a move here.

Despite thinking this way, the leader of the fat fish still quickened his pace. The sooner he got back to headquarters, the sooner he could feel at ease. The few underlings behind him didn't dare to ask any questions when they saw their boss speeding up, and obediently followed.

The night was dimly lit, and the streetlights along the roadside were malfunctioning, with one even having its bulb removed, creating a somewhat eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

The fat fish gang leader wanted to curse at the sight. He used to think nothing of it, and even thought that this eerie atmosphere suited their gang. But today, he felt particularly cold and terrifying, as if someone had put a poisonous snake on the back of his neck and he didn't know when he would be bitten.

Cultivators often have very keen intuition, which is why many second-level cultivators dare to dodge bullets with their bare hands.

The few thugs behind them were slovenly and thoughtless, seemingly oblivious to everything.

After all, the highest among them is only at the first rank, so intuition isn't very useful.

The chilling sensation at the back of his neck grew stronger and stronger, to the point that even a third-tier expert like Fatty Fish found it unbearable.

"Who!!" Fatty Fish shouted, trying to bluff his way out and see if there really was a master following them.

The tactic was common, yet surprisingly effective. Fu Jiu and the other two were so frightened that they almost couldn't resist making a move prematurely.

Besides them, the henchmen behind the fat fish leader were also quite frightened, their eyes darting around, afraid of being targeted by someone.

Fu Jiu gave Li Si a wink, and Li Si understood. His killing intent turned towards the thugs; they had no intention of letting anyone escape today.

The leader of the fat fish secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the chill on the back of his head lessen slightly, thinking that the other party had already decided to back down. After all, this place was too close to the Black Dragon Society headquarters, and if a fight broke out, the other party would probably not come out on top.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fatty Fish turned around, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose from behind him, like a thorn in his back, impossible to ignore.
