Chapter 1582: Chapter 1579: When the Map Ends, the Dagger Appears!

Lin Bai stepped out of Tianbao Tower and was immediately approached by a middle-aged man with an urgent and flustered expression, who hurriedly said, "Junior Sword Venerate, please rush to West City and assist our young lady."

Lin Bai recognized this man; he was a steward within the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, named Tian Kun. When Lin Bai and Yue Qing first came to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, it was he who they met.

Curious, Lin Bai asked, "Steward Tian Kun, what exactly happened?"

Tian Kun said urgently, "Junior Sword Venerate, today the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce received news that our branch in West City was attacked, allegedly instigated by the Wolf Pack Commerce Association in collusion with the gangs there, and they’ve captured over a hundred warriors from our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Upon hearing this, Miss Yue Qing went directly to West City."

"Princess Silver Frost originally intended to go with her, but Miss Yue Qing insisted that she stay to manage the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce to prevent chaos!"

"However, Princess Silver Frost was still worried, so she sent me to find you and ask for your assistance in West City."

After Tian Kun recounted the situation to Lin Bai, Lin Bai had a general understanding.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai pondered for a moment. The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was at a critical juncture, especially since Yue Zheng was watching closely; he surely would not let Yue Qing ascend to the position of vice-chairman so easily.

The chaos in West City required Yue Qing’s attention, and her decision to have Silver Frost remain behind was indeed a reasonable explanation.

"Alright, I will go to West City now. Do you know where in West City Yue Qing might be?" Lin Bai asked, his expression unchanged.

Tian Kun replied, "I do know. She went to the Black Gold Gang in West City. It seems that this gang is the branch of the Wolf Pack Commerce Association in West City. If Junior Sword Venerate is unfamiliar with the way, I can lead you there."

"That’s just as well, as I am also concerned for the young lady’s safety."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Then let’s be off."

"Junior Sword Venerate, after you!"

Tian Kun, leading Lin Bai, left Tianbao Tower and headed straight for West City.

West City, as Su Xianmei had said, was the darkest and most inhumane area in Haizhen City, frequented year-round by desperate fugitives and evil people from all over the Lingnan Continent.

In West City, there was no order. Bloodstains could be seen on the ground at any time, and even the rotting corpses were left uncollected. The warriors of West City were long accustomed to such sights. Was there ever a day when no one died in West City?

The Black Gold Gang was a moderately sized gang within West City whose main business was capturing young and beautiful women from other cities for the despicable pleasure of the desperados who came to West City, and sometimes they even took on assassination contracts for commissions!

Upon arriving in West City, Lin Bai and Tian Kun headed straight for the Black Gold Gang.

"Junior Sword Venerate, that ahead is the Black Gold Gang."

Tian Kun pointed to a cluster of buildings ahead, oppressive as a crouching giant beast, a sight that told anyone this was no good place.

Tian Kun and Lin Bai quickly made their way there.

The gates of the Black Gold Gang were closed tight, and no sound emanated from within. The streets were also deserted.

This puzzled Lin Bai!

If the Black Gold Gang was one of the top gangs in West City, why were the gates so quiet, with no signs of any warriors’ activity?

"I wonder how Miss Yue Qing is doing?" standing at the gate, Tian Kun said with some concern.

Hearing the name Yue Qing, Lin Bai couldn’t afford to ponder any longer and immediately approached, lightly touching the gates of the Black Gold Gang, which he pushed open with a gentle nudge!

Lin Bai was somewhat surprised. Was it really so easy to enter the den of West City’s prominent gang?

But what surprised Lin Bai even more was the scene inside the gate!

Lin Bai pushed open the gates of the Black Gold Gang and saw inside that the ground was covered with bloodstains, the crimson blood converging into a small river flowing along the lower ground.

Apart from the bloodstains, not a single corpse could be seen inside the gate!

Lin Bai’s gaze trembled, his entire being became solemn instantly, as the Slaughter Comprehension involuntarily radiated out, enveloping the entire lair of the Black Gold Gang.

After the Slaughter Comprehension enveloped the area, Lin Bai was surprised to find that not a single survivor remained; instead, everywhere was permeated with a scent of blood and wandering killing intent!

When the Slaughter Comprehension dissipated, Lin Bai suddenly felt a terrifying presence!

"Oh? Have you arrived?"

A strange laugh echoed in Lin Bai’s ears.

Standing at the doorstep, Lin Bai looked up and saw a muscular, strong man with a burly figure. Although this middle-aged man possessed terrifying power that almost seemed to surge to the skies!

Even more, there were strands of Demonic Qi flowing around him!

"Demon Clan!" Lin Bai’s eyes flashed as he spoke coldly.

The strong man fixated on Lin Bai, his eyes gleaming as he grinned wickedly like he was eyeing delicious prey: "Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, may I introduce myself?"

"I am one of the seventy-two Demon Saints of the Valley of Demons, Hantian Demon Saint!"

"I believe you, as the Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, would certainly not be unfamiliar with this name."

The strong man said with a light laugh.

Lin Bai’s gaze narrowed, and a killing intent diffused from his body as he said coldly, "A hundred years ago, the Junior Sword Venerate Chen Pan of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect died at your hands, didn’t he?"

The Hantian Demon Saint, this demon was extremely notorious within the Valley of Demons and even made a name for himself on the Lingnan Continent, for none other reasons than what he did a century ago!

Having killed a Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Hantian Demon Saint’s name instantly became an explosive topic across the Lingnan Continent.

"The Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect surely has a good memory, that’s right, Chen Pan did die by my hands." Hantian Demon Saint bared a cold smile and said, "However, after today, all the warriors on the Lingnan Continent will know... that the second Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate will also die by my hands."

As Hantian Demon Saint uttered these words, his speech no longer concealed the bone-chillingly cold killing intent.

"Picking this place wasn’t bad, Haizhen City’s West City is a den of mixed fish and dragons, there are fights every day, no order, and even if we start fighting, those people will probably just watch from the sidelines, not coming forward to help."

"Moreover, the warriors lurking in West City have no honor or humanity to speak of. Even if there are Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect here, they wouldn’t come forward to aid me."

"This place, you’ve chosen it for quite a while, right."

Lin Bai said with a cold laugh.

Hantian Demon Saint smiled coldly with his mouth agape, neither confirming nor denying.

At this moment, behind Lin Bai suddenly came a woman’s scream: "Bai Lang!"

Lin Bai swiftly turned back and saw Yue Qing with more than a hundred warriors at the Perfect Yin Saint Realm had arrived at the doorstep of the Black Gold Gang, rushing to Lin Bai’s side. Raising her eyes, she was shocked to see that the Black Gold Gang had been slaughtered to the last man.

"Bai Lang, are you alright?" Yue Qing glanced over the blood-stained earth and asked Lin Bai anxiously.

"Am I alright? Shouldn’t it be you who’s alright?" Lin Bai frowned and said.

Yue Qing was also stupefied by Lin Bai’s question and replied, "I heard from the Silver Moon Commerce Association that you got into a fight with the Black Gold Gang in West City of Haizhen, that’s why I rushed over!"

Upon hearing Yue Qing’s words, Lin Bai realized she had come to his rescue?

Yue Qing thought that Lin Bai had encountered a powerful enemy in West City, which is why she hurriedly brought people to West City.

"I heard it from Tian Kun that the Black Gold Gang had kidnapped warriors from the Silver Moon Commerce Association, and you came here to negotiate, but Princess Silver Frost feared something might happen to you, thus she asked me to come over and help you."

Lin Bai said, dumbfounded.

"What?" Yue Qing was also bewildered.

"Hahaha, Miss Yue Qing, Young Sword Master Dongfang, since both of you are so puzzled, then let me explain." Just then, a wild laughter spread throughout the Black Gold Gang’s residence.
