Chapter 571: Chapter 0571 Martial Arts Inspector Team

"Lin Canghai, didn’t you see he just tried to kill me? I’m from the Dark Group. Trying to kill me is equivalent to being an enemy of the state..."

Hao Jian roared in anger.

"How you entered the Dark Group, you know better than anyone. Do you have the right to represent the nation?" Lin Canghai looked at Hao Jian dismissively and sneered:

"Besides, he has a Five-star Martial Master as a bodyguard. You came looking for trouble, and even if you get killed, it would still be self-defense. Do you think he wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian recalled the sensation of almost being throttled to death and was instantly at a loss for words.

"Forget it, let’s go."

Tie Quan sighed helplessly. Things had come to this point; being neither as strong in force nor as powerful in authority as the other party, staying would only bring further humiliation.

"Uncle Tie Quan, are we just going to let that bastard off so easily?"

Hao Jian endured the severe pain in his body and asked through gritted teeth.

"What else can we do? Hurry to the hospital; you need to heal, and I still need to detoxify."

Tie Quan cast a wary glance at Xin Badao, standing behind Tang Ming. This man was not an ordinary martial master but an expert in using poison. Such people were rare even within the Dark Group, and to have someone like that as Tang Ming’s bodyguard meant he couldn’t harm Tang Ming at all.

Hao Jian and Tie Quan left in a dejected state. Though they were reluctant, they were powerless to change the situation.

"Lin Canghai, you’re indirectly protecting them,"

Tang Ming looked at Lin Canghai with displeasure.

"These are trivial matters."

Lin Canghai gave a sly smile and suddenly stood up straight, saluting Tang Ming in military fashion.

"What are you doing?"

Tang Ming was startled and asked in confusion.

"Tang Ming, from now on, you are officially the Group Leader of the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspector team," Lin Canghai said respectfully as he handed the document to Tang Ming, smiling.

"The Martial Arts Inspector Group Leader?"

Tang Ming accepted the document, puzzled, and found it was an authorization letter issued by the Dark Group’s headquarters. His position was indeed the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspector team, which meant he was now part of the Dark Group.

"Damn, you’re setting me up."

Tang Ming looked at Lin Canghai with disgust, complaining:

"I’ve already said I wouldn’t join your organization, and now you’ve given me this thing without my permission. I won’t do it."

"Tang Ming, this position is very special and comes with great privileges. Countless people desire this position but never get the chance. Now that the organization has specially approved you as the Group Leader, how can you refuse?"

At these words, Lin Canghai immediately became anxious. It was a coveted position that many envied, and his original plan was to bring Tang Ming into the Dark Group and apply for an internal member’s position, but he had not expected higher-ups to approve such a position.

This position was even higher than Lin Canghai’s current one, and he might not be able to secure it even using the Lin Family’s connections. The reason given to him was that having Tang Ming in this position would be beneficial for adjusting relations between the Martial Arts Sects, which he found quite baffling.

"I don’t care how many people are eyeing this position; I’m just not interested. I’m accustomed to being free and unbound, and I won’t let you constrain me!"

Tang Ming threw the document back at Lin Canghai, disdainfully saying, "To work with trash like Hao Jian would only lower my own standards."

"Big brother, no one asked you to work with Hao Jian, and besides, your position is much higher than Hao Jian’s, even higher than mine in the Dark Group. Apart from your direct superior, you don’t have to follow anyone’s orders, and as long as you don’t do anything against principles, you could practically walk sideways through the country," Lin Canghai said, trying to be patient as he explained.

"I’m not interested in that, my old man doesn’t allow me to associate with you guys."

Tang Sect said dismissively with a curl of his lip.

"Cough cough, it’s not up to you. Anyone in the Martial Arts community cannot refuse this appointment. You need to think it over carefully, for if you refuse, from here on out, your steps within the country will be extremely difficult," Lin Changhai warned with a grave tone.

"Are you threatening me?" Tang Ming frowned, feeling quite annoyed inside.

"Can this even be considered a threat?"

Seeing Tang Ming react this way, Lin Canghai felt a headache coming on. This guy even dared to kill Hao Jian, so threats seemed ineffective on him. Thinking quickly, he said with a smile:

"Don’t you want to save Liu Gaoze?"

"What do you mean?"

Tang Ming was momentarily stunned. If there was a chance to save Liu Gaoze, he could consider it.

"Hehe, this position holds tremendous power. If you’re willing to accept it, not to mention Liu Gaoze being innocent, even if he did make a mistake, you could still make Hao Jian release him."

Seeing Tang Ming’s interest was piqued, Lin Canghai immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"That powerful?" Tang Ming asked with a mix of surprise and suspicion, and continued:

"But why would such a powerful position fall into my lap? You’re not trying to set me up and make me fall into a trap, are you?"

"Of course not, do you think such a position is easy to come by?" Lin Canghai said with a wary glance at Xin Badao, continuing with a smile:

"I already know the identity of your bodyguard, Poison Sect Sect Master Xin Badao, I’m not wrong, am I?"

Previously when he left the Liu Family’s place, he had covertly taken a photo of Xin Badao and Chu Batian with his phone, then sent their pictures back to headquarters, asking for help in identifying these two men.

When Lin Canghai learned that Tang Ming’s two bodyguards were none other than the Poison Sect Sect Master Xin Badao and Elder Chu Batian, he was shocked. These two were deities, yet now they were willingly serving as Tang Ming’s bodyguards. He immediately began an investigation into the Poison Sect and discovered...

"Hm?"

Xin Badao paused briefly before remaining silent.

"Sect Master Xin, you must have heard of the Martial Arts Inspector Group, haven’t you?" Lin Canghai asked, looking at Xin Badao.

"I’ve heard of it. It’s a special position held by some of the highest responsible persons of the Martial Arts Sects, appointed by the Dark Group to maintain order in Jianghu and prevent Cultivators from disturbing the normal social order of the common people," Xin Badao hesitated before speaking, "However, not every Sect authority can be the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspector Group, although the Group Leader must be someone from the Martial Arts Sect authorities."

"Sounds impressive, but I’m not the one in charge of the Poison Sect. You should ask Xin Badao to take this role. How about it, why not swap with him?" Tang Ming asked with a shake of his head and a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, don’t pretend anymore. Although I don’t know what happened, I do know that the people of the Poison Sect call you ’Poison Boss’, indicating your status in the Poison Sect is probably even above that of Sect Master Xin and the Great Elder," Lin Canghai said with a triumphant smile, speaking earnestly:

"And the most important point is that the person appointed as the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspector Group must have no self-interest. Previous Inspector Groups, no matter how fair and incorruptible, would still consciously or unconsciously protect their own sects. You, however, are different. You are not a man of the sects, yet you are the boss of the Poison Sect. You exist in Jianghu but are not bound by its rules. It’s this kind of unconventional style that makes you the most suitable for the position of the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspector Group."
