Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

After delivering Wang Dawei's body to his home, Zheng Qian left five taels of silver to comfort his family and then departed.

Arriving at Shixiang Street, Zheng Qian bought a roast chicken, some side dishes, and rice wine, and then went to the front of No. 33, Lane 2, Baigongfang.

blah blah blah...

Zheng Qian knocked on the door, then waited quietly.

With a creak, the wooden door opened, and Wu Yuxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Zheng Qian, please come in quickly."

When Wu Yuxiao left that day, he told Zheng Qian his home address. Zheng Qian carefully memorized it and found out that it was in Baigongfang, Xisi Street.

"Brother Wu, I apologize for disturbing you!" Zheng Qian said politely as he entered Wu Yuxiao's house, carrying food and wine.

"Why are you being so polite with us? Come on, let's have a drink." Wu Yuxiao was radiant, his body brimming with vitality.

"Brother Wu, you've broken through to the Blood Refining Realm?"

"Haha, I broke through last night. Let's find some time to spar sometime?" Wu Yuxiao was very happy. He had broken through to the Blood Refining Realm, which meant he had joined the ranks of the experts in Yan City.

Looking at the heavy sword Zheng Qian was carrying, he wanted to see how many moves he could withstand from the Northern Gate Killer.

"A friendly spar?" Zheng Qian smiled. "How about tomorrow morning?"

Wu Yuxiao gave a sly smile. "Qingtai Slope?"

Zheng Qian nodded. It was very comfortable talking to intelligent people.

After downing half a bowl of wine in one gulp, Wu Yuxiao said in a deep voice, "Zheng Qian, I understand your anger. The actions of the Xinyi Gang are indeed outrageous. They oppress the people and commit all sorts of evil deeds, making one wish they could tear them apart. However, you must understand that impulsiveness is the devil, and we cannot make decisions that we will regret because of momentary anger."

He paused, letting his words echo in the air, before continuing.

"The Xinyi Gang is backed by the Prime Minister, and its influence can be traced back to the palace. This force is vast and complex, and any move it makes will have far-reaching consequences. If we act rashly, we will not only alert them, but also cause even greater trouble. In that case, we will not only lose the opportunity to punish the Xinyi Gang, but we may also fall into an even greater crisis."

Zheng Qian laughed heartily and downed the rice wine in the large bowl in one gulp. "I came to ask you, are you a member of the Faith Gang?"

People from the Faith Gang?

Wu Yuxiao's pupils contracted. The heavy sword Zheng Qian was carrying put a lot of pressure on him, so he hurriedly clarified the relationship.

"No, how could I be a scumbag? To tell you the truth, I belong to the palace and don't have much real power. But if you really destroy the Xinyi Gang, I can help you solve the government's problems."

With a helpless expression, Wu Yuxiao continued, "I'm just like you, a member of the Fourth Prince's group, only in different organizations. Actually, as long as you don't wipe out the Xinyi Gang in the city, the Fourth Prince will cover for you."

Zheng Qian understood. The eldest prince and the fourth prince had actually started fighting each other long ago. Yan City was the last fig leaf. As long as they didn't fight inside Yan City, they would accept the outcome.

However, none of these were problems. He Ruoyun said that as long as no one was killed in the city, there would be no problem at all, and Zheng Qian believed that He Ruoyun could do it.

"I'm here to ask you three questions. You've already answered the first one—you're not a member of the Xinyi Gang. The second question is whether Feng Baqiang indiscriminately killed innocent people on Xisi Street. I'll answer the third question later." Zheng Qian spoke sincerely, staring intently at Wu Yuxiao.

After a long silence, Wu Yuxiao slowly said, "When Feng Baqiang was ten years old, his whole family was killed. He practiced swordsmanship for fifteen years to avenge his family, but was arrested by the government and imprisoned for five years. After that, Guo Zhengfeng got him out to work for him. He is the leader of the Xinyi Gang, but he was actually just a scapegoat used by Guo Zhengfeng. Over the years, he has a bad reputation, even though he is the leader. But I have never heard of him killing anyone from Xisi Street."

Zheng Qian believed Lao Zhou when he first told him, but after the Xinyi Gang took action, Zheng Qian began to doubt that Lao Zhou was lying. Just now, Zheng Qian asked the residents of Xisi Street, and they all hated Feng Baqiang, but when Zheng Qian asked if they had personally witnessed him killing someone, everyone said no.

Now, after hearing Wu Yuxiao's words, Zheng Qian finally understood what was going on.

The residents live on the ground floor and have no contact with the people and things below the water, so naturally they don't know what kind of person Feng Baqiang is.

Zheng Qian handed a piece of paper to Wu Yuxiao and said, "The third question is that I want to set up several management departments on West Fourth Street. Can you help me see if there are any suitable candidates?"

This was Zheng Qian's ultimate goal. In Yancheng, the only people he knew were Zhang Xinghai, Lao Zhou, He Ruoyun, and Zhang Xinghai. Given He Ruoyun and Zhang Xinghai's status, it was impossible for them to know anyone with management ability in Xisi Street. He also didn't completely trust Lao Zhou, which is why he sought advice from Wu Yuxiao.

Wu Yuxiao was also very helpful, picking up a pen and writing down several names. Zheng Qian picked them up and saw that they were exactly the same as those written by Lao Zhou. It seemed that these people were indeed the most suitable candidates.

Feng Baqiang's name corresponds to the position of street management officer.

"Thank you. Tomorrow, after I wipe out the Xinyi Gang, I'll spar with you." Zheng Qian left, feeling like a blind man, unable to see a single brick or tile in Yan City.

Wu Yuxiao sat in the house for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, then put on a black outfit and left his residence.

Beneath the rocky city, Wu Yuxiao opened a heavy stone door, revealing an open space of over a thousand square meters, and more than a dozen cold stone doors. Occasionally, people would pass by, all dressed in black, with only their eyes showing. There was no eye contact or verbal communication, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

Walking up to a wooden counter, Wu Yuxiao took out the wooden plaque representing the Shadow Guard and said in a low voice, "Sir, I would like to apply for a position challenge."

After receiving the application form, Wu Yuxiao walked to a stone gate, took a deep breath, stepped back, opened the gate, and strode inside.

Half an hour later, Wu Yuxiao walked out from behind the stone door, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

His wooden plaque had been replaced with a bronze one, and a copper wire had been added to his cuffs.

The most mysterious and feared group in Wuyan Kingdom is the Shadow Guard. They only obey the Emperor and there are five levels from Shadow Master to Shadow Guard.

The lowest rank is Shadow Guard, who carries an iron plaque and wears black. Above that is Dark Envoy, who carries an iron plaque and has iron wire embroidered on his sleeves. Above that are Ghost Detective, Underworld Walker, and Shadow Envoy, which correspond to bronze plaque with bronze wire, silver plaque with silver wire, and gold plaque with gold wire, respectively. The highest rank, Shadow Master, is too mysterious, and no one knows what he is like.

In the past five months, Youying, one of the four Shadow Envoys, has gone mad for some unknown reason and has started to support the Fourth Prince without any scruples. Although he did not say it outright, his behavior was completely undisguised, which is why Wu Yuxiao was sent to Lvchang County to carry out a mission.

First, to record the battle situation and assess the strength of the Red Turban Army. Second, to protect He Zuowen, the father of Yun Guiren.

Consort Yun also supports the Fourth Prince, so the Shadow Group sent Wu Yuxiao to protect He Zuowen and ensure that He Zuowen is not killed by the Red Turban Army.

The bronze plaque has the character "武" (Wu) engraved on the front and the character "幽" (You) engraved on the back, proving that he was a spy under the Youying Group of Wuyan Kingdom.

Wu Yuxiao jumped two ranks from Shadow Guard to Ghost Detective, and now has eight Shadow Guard teams under his command.

Walking up to the wooden counter, Wu Yuxiao handed over the bronze plaque. "Sir, I request that all Shadow Squad members hold a meeting of their respective ranks tonight to recruit new members."

In the side room, Zheng Qian carefully wiped the heavy sword, Guardian of the Heart.

He Zuowen sat down next to Zheng Qian and asked, "Are you confident about the showdown with the Xinyi Gang tomorrow?"

Zheng Qian didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Has your road been cleared?"

"The passage is open. No one will interfere tomorrow. Once the battle begins, we will each bear the consequences of our own lives."

With a clang, Zheng Qian sheathed the heavy sword and looked at He Zuowen.

"I'll go to the challenge alone tomorrow. You and Tiezhu will prepare to publicize the events in Xisi Street."
