Qin Huai turned to look at Shao Mo's back, suspecting the Fourth Master knew something about the great terror. 

"Fifth Master, I recently received news that Mou Jinfu has been in close contact with some mysterious individuals. They might be from the Thunderbolt Gang."

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows. "The Thunderbolt Gang?"

Among the four gangs, the Thunderbolt Gang was the one most fiercely competing with the Blood Poison Gang for control of the pier.

"Is the boss in contact with the Thunderbolt Gang? Does he have a death wish?" Qin Huai shook his head, unable to decipher what Mou Jinfu, who was about the same age as the gang leader, was thinking.

"By the way, Fifth Master, the leader is calling for you!"

… 

On the flower boat, Wen Zonghao sat in a rattan chair, sipping tea slowly. 

"The son of the Dark Dragon Gang's leader has returned and taken over his father's business. They want to take revenge on my Blood Poison Gang." He looked at Qin Huai. "He already robbed two docks in Lower Bay today and publicly announced that he would seize the third pier tomorrow."

Qin Huai looked at Wen Zonghao and asked, "Will the three other gangs make a move too?"

Wen Zonghao sipped his tea. "It's mainly the Thunderbolt Gang. The four gangs are now two against two: Mountain City Gang versus Wind Tooth Gang, then our Blood Poison Gang versus Thunderbolt Gang… 

"If nothing goes wrong tomorrow, the Thunderbolt Gang will definitely disguise themselves and attack us. I trust you the most and have high expectations for you." Wen Zonghao straightened his back and patted Qin Huai's shoulder. "In just two months, the number of people supporting you has already surpassed Mou Jinfu's. Not bad." 

Qin Huai's expression was serious. "It's all thanks to Godfather's teachings." 

He pretended not to hear Wen Zonghao's so-called trust. Anyone who believed such words would be a fool. 

Wen Zonghao's face showed a gratified expression. "Once this matter is settled, I'll support you to take over the position of boss! That bastard. He's getting more and more outrageous lately." 

Qin Huai's heart remained unmoved, though. As expected, the gang leader knew that Mou Jinfu had secretly contacted the Thunderbolt Gang.

"Godfather, I have a question." 

Wen Zonghao did not hesitate and said readily, "Just ask, and I'll tell you everything I know."

"Is there a cultivation technique in Qingzhou City that allows one to teleport one mile in an instant?" Qin Huai inquired.

"One mile?" Wen Zonghao shook his head with a smile. "How can there be such a cultivation technique? If it really existed, all the major sects would fight over it. Even the great sects in Qingzhou City would be no exception." 

Qin Huai continued, "About two months ago, after I killed the Dark Dragon Gang's leader, I encountered Hua Yanli from the Thunderbolt Gang. However, halfway through, Hua Yanli seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace..."

He stared at Wen Zonghao's face, but the smile on the latter's face instantly disappeared. "Don't ask about that!" His voice was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

"But..." Qin Huai began, but Wen Zonghao interrupted him. 

"Go back and prepare. Bring people to surround the third pier tonight!"

Qin Huai had no choice but to leave the boat with cupped fists.

"Even an expert at the visceral prefecture realm would be so afraid…" Qin Huai muttered. "Forget it, let's settle the Thunderbolt Gang first." 

This battle was exactly what he wanted. For Qin Huai, the death of either side offered valuable experience. 

… 

Late at night, heavy rain poured down. 

Qin Huai wore a bamboo hat, leading a large group of Blood Poison Gang martial artists. Every time they passed an alley, hundreds of martial artists parted ways.

Finally, Qin Huai brought his men to a small brothel located at the corner of a street. He sat by the window, observing the heavy rain outside. In the corner, the brothel madam and a few girls huddled together, shivering.

"Master…We really didn't do anything," the brothel madam's voice trembled.

"Half a month ago, Mou Jinfu and the Thunderbolt Gang met here, right? Some people even said that you were the one who tipped them off," Qin Huai's voice sounded.

The brothel madam's face turned pale, tears and snot streaming down her face as she wailed, "Who the hell is slandering me?! Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare get involved in this mess. Master, you're wise! Master, I'm just trying to make a living... I really don't know anything!"

The brothel madam spoke rapidly, not stopping for a moment. Qin Huai remained silent, allowing her to continue her tirade.

"You heartless people, what are you looking at? Hurry up and serve them!" The brothel madam seemed to have an idea. She grabbed a few attractive women beside her and pushed them toward Qin Huai.

The scantily-clad women, who appeared frightened, looked shy and enticing. A few Blood Poison Gang disciples nearby swallowed their saliva but could only endure their desires. They stepped back, watching the five women approach Qin Huai. Their fragrance filled the air, and the entire pavilion seemed to warm up.

Whoosh! 

Without warning, the five brothel women suddenly attacked Qin Huai. 

"Blood qi armor!" 

An armor-like material appeared around Qin Huai's body. The moment the women's hands touched Qin Huai's body, they screamed in pain.

"Ah!" 

Their fair limbs started to rot. Then, Qin Huai's blood qi armor exploded and shattered, shooting holes in the bodies of the five women.

Bang! 

The women, caught off guard, spat out blood and fell to their knees.

Whoosh! 

At the same time, the brothel madam burst into action, stabbing at Qin Huai with a hairpin. Qin Huai raised his hand and punched.

"Forbidden technique, poison dragon shock!" 

The terrifying force pierced the air, shaking the brothel madam's hairpin, which tumbled out of her hand. Surprisingly, it was a treasured weapon. 

Qin Huai tapped the floor with the tip of his toes, causing the wooden building to collapse. The five crippled and bloodied women fell to the ground, wailing.

Qin Huai's fists rained down like a flood, his poisonous palm strikes repeatedly shattering the bone pattern realm brothel madam on the spot. After that, the experience orbs merged with Qin Huai's body once again.

Since Mou Jinfu dared to meet the Thunderbolt Gang here, the entire brothel was undoubtedly on his side. Therefore, Qin Huai was certain that these people were probably Mou Jinfu's sacrificial pawns.

This place was likely a trap set by Mou Jinfu—or rather, a bait placed on the surface.

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

The sound of heavy rain echoed outside the window, so it was still uncertain what was going on inside and outside.
