Outside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, members of the Liusha Gang stared ferociously at the Zhenfu Division Yamen Runners not far away, forming a standoff.

Unlike other cities, the Baishi City Garrison Command had suffered a long-term loss of prestige, causing these Gang members to have little reverence for the Zhenfu Division.

"Each and every one of them deserves to die!"

Among the Zhenfu Division's ranks, a Squad Leader quietly cursed.

"Exactly! I wish I could kill them!"

Another Squad Leader beside him echoed in agreement.

The other Squad Leaders and Yamen Runners felt the same. These Gang hooligans preyed on the local people, were utterly vicious, and severely disrupted order within Baishi City. Every single one of the people before them deserved to die!

But...

What if they deserved to die!?

It was common knowledge that the Zhenfu Division was weak. If they were to flip the table and wipe out the Liusha Gang, other forces would band together even more tightly out of fear of sharing the same fate. The delicate balance Commander Feng had painstakingly maintained would be completely shattered, and how would the Zhenfu Division then manage itself!?

They were no longer fresh-faced youngsters. The initial fearless resolve had long been eroded by repeated concessions.

Watching the arrogant Liusha Gang members, who clearly didn't put them in their eyes, the Zhenfu Division's Yamen Runners and Squad Leaders gritted their teeth in hatred, but dared not speak out!

Bang!

A sudden noise came from inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

"What's going on!"

The Yamen Runners and Gang members outside reacted quickly, their eyes all fixed on the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, awaiting the conclusion of the discussion between their respective leaders.

Just then, a voice emanated from within the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, resounding throughout the entire area.

"The Liusha Gang Leader, Yin Zisheng, and Deputy Gang Leader, Shen Taiyuan, attempted to assassinate this official. The evidence is conclusive, and they have been executed on the spot! The Liusha Gang has preyed on the local people, committed heinous crimes, and is intolerable by the Dao. My Baishi City Garrison Command will encircle and annihilate them! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Encircle and annihilate them!?

Those who resist will be killed without mercy!?

Is it real or fake!?

The Zhenfu Division's Yamen Runners and Squad Leaders present were somewhat stunned. Not only them, but even the Liusha Gang members felt it was a complete fantasy.

Encircle and annihilate them?

Are you kidding me!

The Liusha Gang has dominated Baishi City for over ten years. Where does the Zhenfu Division get the guts to encircle and annihilate them! Aren't they afraid of destabilizing Baishi City!

Amidst everyone's disbelief, two hands emerged from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's window, each holding a head, one on the left and one on the right!

The Gang Leader, Yin Zisheng!

The Deputy Gang Leader, Shen Taiyuan!

Dead?

Truly dead?

The Liusha Gang members and leaders present felt their minds go blank.

This... how is this possible!

As everyone was in shock, a figure flew down from inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, landing steadily in the center of the area. His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree; it was none other than Chen Ping'an, the Deputy Commander of the Baishi City Garrison Command!

"The chief culprits have been executed. Those who lay down their weapons will be treated leniently; those who forcibly resist will be killed without mercy!"

Chen Ping'an surveyed the scene, his Internal Energy vibrating around him, emitting an overwhelmingly powerful aura.

......

Liusha Gang.

In a small courtyard on the south side of the inner hall, Dajingang (Great Vajra) Duan Peng of the Liusha Gang sat grandly on a large chair, drinking bowl after bowl of fine wine.

This habit of drinking was something he had picked up when he first started out in the Gang. He hadn't changed it in all these years.

"I wonder how the Gang Leader's discussion went? He didn't do anything to that little brat, did he!?

"Truly a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to provoke my Liusha Gang upon his arrival!"

"This time, let him learn a harsh lesson, and see if he dares to provoke my Liusha Gang next time!"

With large bowls of wine down his throat, Duan Peng felt he hadn't had enough.

He was originally supposed to attend tonight's banquet. However, the Gang Leader felt it was unnecessary; it was just a mere Deputy Commander, and if they went with such a large show of force, others might think they were afraid.

So, he stayed at the Gang's headquarters.

He couldn't personally see the New Vice Commander's expression. That was a bit of a pity!

However, when they returned, and he listened to Old Shen recount the process in detail, it would at least vent some of his frustration!

As Duan Peng was thinking, he heard a cry of alarm from outside.

Hmm?

Duan Peng frowned, but didn't pay too much attention, continuing to drink his wine from the large bowl.

But to his surprise, the shouts and cries from outside came one after another, showing no sign of stopping, and instead seemed to be escalating.

"These people are really getting more and more unruly!"

Duan Peng slammed his bowl down, stood up, and pushed the door open with a bang, walking out.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw someone running over in a panic to report.

"Dajingang, it's bad, it's bad! The Zhenfu Division has surrounded us!"

"What?" Duan Peng's expression changed. Before his subordinate could explain, he rushed out.

Outside the Liusha Gang's headquarters, there was a chilling gleam of weapons, solemn and severe.

The Zhenfu Division's Yamen Runners had completely surrounded the Liusha Gang's stronghold and, led by several Chief Warrant Officers from various urban districts, began to launch a fierce assault on the Liusha Gang.

"So many people! And five Inner Qi Realm cultivators!" Duan Peng's face greatly changed. At this point, no matter how slow he was, he knew they were in trouble.

Since fighting had already broken out here, the negotiations at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion had clearly collapsed.

So strong and decisive!

He... how dare he!

Was he not afraid of other forces in the city taking advantage of the situation!?

"Hold the stronghold. Everything waits until the Gang Leader and Old Shen return for further consideration! Also, as long as we can hold out for a while, the other forces in the city cannot just sit idly by; they will definitely make a move! At that time, there will be a turning point!"

Being in a high position for a long time, Duan Peng made his assessment in an instant.

However, before he could begin to implement it, a shout came from outside the gate.

"Listen, those inside! Yin Zisheng and Shen Taiyuan have been executed. Lay down your weapons, and you will be treated leniently. If you forcibly resist, you will be killed without mercy, and your families will be implicated!"

"What!?" Duan Peng's expression suddenly changed drastically, filled with shock.

......

As one of Baishi City's four major Gangs, the Liusha Gang had a total of four Inner Qi Realm experts: the Gang Leader, the Deputy Gang Leader, the Dajingang, and one revered elder.

Inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, two Inner Qi Realm experts of the Liusha Gang, Yin Zisheng and Shen Taiyuan, died at Chen Ping'an's hands. The Liusha Gang's high-end combat power was thus halved. Under the suppression of the Zhenfu Division's superior number of Inner Qi Realm experts and their close coordination, the Liusha Gang's remaining two Inner Qi Realm experts were simply unable to organize effective resistance.

Especially the news of the deaths of Gang Leader Yin Zisheng and Deputy Gang Leader Shen Taiyuan caused many Liusha Gang members to lose their courage. After resisting for a while and suffering some casualties, more and more people within the Liusha Gang laid down their weapons and surrendered.

By dawn, the Liusha Gang's stronghold was filled with Zhenfu Division personnel.

In one night, the Liusha Gang was completely overrun by the Zhenfu Division. Except for Dajingang Duan Peng, who fortunately escaped, no one else from the Liusha Gang escaped.

In just one night, the Liusha Gang, one of the four major Gangs, became history within Baishi City.

The sky of Baishi City had changed!

The news of the Liusha Gang's demise spread quickly to the ears of various major forces within the city.
