Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 75 - 60: The Black Tiger Gang’s Sky Net and Earth Trap, Conical Hat Guest Certain to Die_2

Liy Ruofeng observed the expressions of his subordinates and nodded slightly. With twenty Stewards of about the Third Layer, dozens of Deputy Stewards, over a hundred Second Layer Leaders, and thousands of Gang Members, this inescapable net had been cast. The Conical Hat Guest would find it difficult to escape!

Once the many Black Tiger Leaders and Stewards had hurriedly left the hall after receiving their tasks, Vice Hall Master Liy Ruofeng turned to Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Vice Hall Master, for the Zemang Treasure Medicine to heal my injuries, and for casting this inescapable net. That Conical Hat Guest absolutely cannot escape from your grasp, Vice Hall Master!"

Liy Ruofeng nodded slightly.

Liy Ruofeng stood up and walked outside. "Zhang Wu, although your injuries have healed, the suffering you endured cannot be ignored. No one is allowed to bully the brothers under me, Liy Ruofeng! The Conical Hat Guest wants you dead, and there are people in Great Marsh Prefecture who want to see our Black Tiger Gang become a laughingstock. But I, Liy Ruofeng, will ensure you live a long and healthy life! I’ll make sure everyone in Great Marsh Prefecture knows you’re alive and well! I’d like to see if that Conical Hat Guest dares to target my, Liy Ruofeng’s, men again! From today, I will have Zhao Dalong, along with Stewards Zhang Yihu and Qian Han, secretly move into your residence. All three have advanced to the Third Layer. Zhao Dalong, son of Hall Master Zhao of Hill City, is even at the Mid-grade of the Third Layer and possesses formidable strength! Even if the Conical Hat Guest has the Twin Vine Demon Pearl, Zhao Dalong leading the other two can protect you and kill him! However, this secret arrangement is known only to you and me, and must not be disclosed to anyone else!"

Zhang Wu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Vice Hall Master! I bid you farewell, Vice Hall Master!"

After leaving the hall, Liy Ruofeng sat in a large sedan chair carried by several porters, twirling a Jade Gourd in his hand, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.

「...」

The moon hung high in the sky.

In the main hall of Zhang Residence, Zhang Wu sat at the lower end of the banquet table. He raised his wine cup, a respectful look on his face, and said, "You three Stewards are all prominent figures in our Black Tiger Gang, your might renowned throughout Great Marsh Prefecture! Even among the many Stewards, your strength is absolutely top-tier! In the coming days, Zhang Wu will be under your protection, and I am deeply grateful. Rest assured, the women I’ve prepared for you three are absolute top beauties with top skills! Additionally, I’ve prepared six thousand taels of silver and one hundred eighty portions of Qi Replenishing Soup ingredients. Although these things might not be much to you three, they represent a small token of my, Little Wu’s, sincerity!"

While speaking, Zhang Wu couldn’t help but gaze at Steward Zhao Dalong, his eyes showing a fervent expression.

Steward Zhang Yihu glanced at Zhang Wu. "With orders from the Vice Hall Master, Vice Steward Zhang, there’s no need to be so courteous! However, Vice Steward Zhang, your ability to find all sorts of beautiful women is truly a specialty within our Black Tiger Gang! I, for one, am rather looking forward to tonight’s ’gentle haven’!"

Hearing these words from the Third Layer Steward Zhang Yihu, Vice Steward Zhang Wu quickly laughed along.

After they chatted and drank strong liquor for a while, their eyes gradually became heavy with drink.

Steward Zhang Yihu raised his cup to Steward Zhao Dalong. "Steward Zhao, yesterday you nearly killed Ma Jiang of the Yin Talisman Sect on the spot! To achieve such a feat at the young age of twenty-six is truly admirable. Come, I toast you!"

Zhao Dalong drained his cup, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "If Ma Jiang hadn’t possessed the Wandering Dragon Exorcism Hand, how could I possibly have allowed him to protect those supplies yesterday!"

"Ma Jiang?" Zhang Wu’s face showed surprise. "I heard that Ma Jiang of the Yin Talisman Sect advanced to the late stage of the Third Layer, nearing Perfection, a long time ago. He once killed powerful Evil Lizard Demon People and his strength is the greatest among the Yin Talisman Sect’s many Stewards! For Steward Zhao, at such a young age, to be able to heavily injure Ma Jiang, I, Zhang Wu, am truly impressed beyond words, utterly impressed!"

Just as Zhang Wu finished speaking—

BANG! A muffled explosion suddenly erupted.

He was struck hard from behind. His body twisted as he flew several yards, soaring over the entire banquet table before heavily crashing into the wall. Then, with a THUD, he fell to the ground, all five points of his body hitting the floor!

Zhang Wu immediately let out a miserable howl.

Lin Xuankong, wearing a conical hat and Ghost Face Mask, now stood where Zhang Wu had just been. His slightly hoarse voice rang out, "Now *that’s* what you call ’all five points touching the ground’!"

The three elite Stewards of the Black Tiger Gang—Zhang Yihu, Zhao Dalong, and Qian Han—who had been pleasantly drunk, instantly sobered, their expressions changing drastically. Qi Blood surged through their bodies, expelling all traces of alcohol, and claws extended from their fingertips!

Lin Xuankong, wearing his conical hat, Ghost Face Mask, and black clothes, completely disregarded the threat of these three powerful Stewards. He frowned as he looked at Zhang Wu.

With this thought, Lin Xuankong looked at the three Black Tiger Gang Stewards slowly closing in on him.

"Conical Hat Guest, the dignity of the Black Tiger Gang cannot be trampled by anyone!" Zhang Yihu snorted coldly, the first to approach Lin Xuankong. "Since you’ve come, there’s a place reserved for you in the Black Tiger Gang’s Punishment Hall!"

As he walked, his movements were exceedingly steady, his aura like that of a tiger descending a mountain. The claws extending from his ten fingers were surprisingly not silver-white like those of Bearded, but a dark, metallic black, their tips extremely sharp! Moreover, as he strode forward, those foot-long claws extended and retracted unpredictably, exuding a strange, violent beauty!

Such a profound Black Tiger Shattering Golden Claw was immeasurably stronger than that of Bearded, whom Lin Xuankong had previously killed!

Zhao Dalong and Qian Han moved to his flanks, vaguely surrounding Lin Xuankong. Intense anticipation filled the eyes of all three as they stared intently at Lin Xuankong, as if the one standing before them wasn’t the dangerous Conical Hat Guest, but some extremely alluring beauty!

Zhang Wu, who was "all five points touching the ground," seethed with hatred, "Steward Zhang, Steward Qian, please don’t kill him directly! I want him to suffer countless tortures before he dies!"
