Chapter 2048: Flowing Moon City
Qin Qi said, "Perhaps he’s given us an impossible task. Is he just playing us?"
He was growing increasingly angry.
Ji Tian said, "Not saying it’s impossible, but within two or three days, we might find it very difficult to take control of Flowing Moon City."
The simplest and most direct methods are prohibited by the Wind Sound Ancient Clan’s regulations.
Qin Qi said, "If it’s going to take a long time, then what’s the point of relying on the Thirteen Elders?"
"Big brother, let Ji Tian try to contact the other elders? Since the Thirteen Elders have a solution, perhaps the others do too."
"Surely they’re not all like the Thirteen Elders?"
Ji Tian said, "Even though we’ve wasted a lot of time on this, I agree with Qin Qi. Otherwise, we’ll waste even more time."
"With Shishi’s situation unclear, we cannot delay too long."
"Also, when I was inquiring about Flowing Moon City earlier, I heard some news."
"What news?" Qin Qi looked at him.
Ji Tian said solemnly, "Soon, Wang Shishi will be marrying the Young Clan Leader of the Wind Sound Ancient Clan."
"I’m truly afraid that by then, everything will be too late. Our time is indeed very pressing."
"And right now, only we can save Shishi."
Qin Qi’s face turned grim as he looked at Qin Chen, "Big brother, you decide, what do we do?"
Qin Chen said, "To take down Flowing Moon City is so difficult. If we help the Thirteen Elders succeed, surely he won’t go back on his word?"
Qin Qi’s expression slightly changed, "Big brother, do you really intend to take down Flowing Moon City? Ji Tian said it’s not something possible in two or three days."
"By the time we manage it, Shishi might already be forced into marrying the Young Clan Leader."
Qin Chen said, "That’s why we must act quickly."
Ji Tian raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Chen, "How do we act quickly?"
Everyone knows we need to be quick.
But how should we be quick?
Qin Chen said, "What is the name of the strongest force in Flowing Moon City, and what is its strength?"
Ji Tian replied, "The strongest force in Flowing Moon City is called the ’Moon Wolf Gang,’ led by the Gang Leader ’Golden Moon Wolf,’ who possesses Fifth Layer Tribulation Transformation cultivation."
"Are you thinking of the strategy of capturing the leader to control the followers, planning to kill this Golden Moon Wolf?"
"But let me be frank, even if you kill Golden Moon Wolf, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can control the Moon Wolf Gang. And even controlling it doesn’t mean you control Flowing Moon City."
Qin Chen said, "We set off tomorrow, first to meet this Golden Moon Wolf."
Ji Tian stared at Qin Chen, "How sure are you that you can quickly take down Flowing Moon City?"
Both he and Qin Qi opposed, but only Qin Chen was unwavering, his determined eyes even shook Ji Tian’s resolve.
Qin Chen said, "I’m not sure."
"Not sure?"
Ji Tian and Qin Qi exchanged glances.
Qin Qi said, "Big brother, we can’t afford to joke around; we don’t have time to waste."
Qin Chen said, "I’m not sure, but I have confidence. I understand the stakes better than any of you, and precisely because of that, no matter how impossible this task is, I must complete it."
Ji Tian nodded, "If that’s the case, then we won’t say more. Rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning, we’ll head to Flowing Moon City."
Flowing Moon City is right beside Sunset City.
It takes just an hour to get there.
The night deepens.
Qin Chen gazed out at the silver moon in the sky and murmured, "Thirteen Elders, you better not be deceiving me."
Under the dense night.
A gleam shot from Qin Chen’s eyes, vanishing like a fleeting hue.
The next day.
After breakfast.
The three promptly headed to Flowing Moon City.
Ji Tian wasn’t wrong at all.
This Flowing Moon City is indeed outrageously chaotic.
On the streets, scenes of bullying and harassment were widespread.
The ground even had fresh blood that hadn’t dried.
Compared to Sunset City, this place was more like a bandit city.
But Qin Chen also noticed.
Though chaotic outside.
Nearby merchant buildings, taverns, and inns had order and were free from disturbance.
Qin Chen noticed.
These commercial buildings and taverns displayed flags.
Each flag depicted a wolf.
Ji Tian said, "Those are the flags of the Moon Wolf Gang. With the Moon Wolf Gang’s intimidating reputation, those people won’t dare to provoke their prestige."
"The Moon Wolf Gang also uses this to collect hefty protection fees monthly, for profit."
Qin Chen nodded, "Do you have a way for us to meet Golden Moon Wolf?"
Ji Tian said, "Golden Moon Wolf is the Gang Leader of the Moon Wolf Gang, meeting him is not easy, especially in Flowing Moon City. I’ll have to think of a way."
Qin Chen’s gaze intensified as he looked ahead.
Several men with wolf patterns on their shoulders were brutally beating two beggars.
"This is the territory of my Moon Wolf Gang! How dare you beg here? You blind dogs, today we’ll beat you to death."
These Moon Wolf Gang members relentlessly beat the two beggars, who screamed repeatedly.
The surrounding passersby seemed accustomed to it.
Anyone with a slight sense of conscience sighed but didn’t dare intervene.
After all, who dares to provoke the Moon Wolf Gang in Flowing Moon City?
Most others, however, scoffed.
"Three sirs! We know our wrongs! We won’t dare again! We truly had no choice, our mother is gravely ill, if we don’t beg, she will die."
A beggar with a face covered in blood pleaded.
They were two brothers, their mother gravely ill, without any skills, they resorted to begging.
Unexpectedly.
They met such disaster.
"If she’s dying, what’s the point in living? You lowly people aren’t fit to live in this world; go die together!"
One Moon Wolf Gang member scoffed.
His eyes filled with disdain towards ’lowly people.’
He swung his fist aiming to hit the top of the beggar’s skull, this punch would be fatal.
"Whoosh!"
A ferocious punch pierced the air, carrying immense force.
Under the beggar’s frightened, unwilling, angry, and pained gaze, it enlarged gradually.
At that moment, tears of blood streamed from the beggar’s eyes, and he closed his eyes.
The surrounding passersby hurried by.
Who cares about his life?
After all, it’s the Moon Wolf Gang.
"Crunch!"
However, at the critical moment.
A hand, akin to iron pliers, suddenly reached out, firmly gripping the Moon Wolf Gang member’s fist.
The beggar sensed something was amiss and abruptly opened his eyes.
In the instant he opened his eyes, he saw Qin Chen’s stern face.
It was Qin Chen who blocked the Moon Wolf Gang member’s punch for him.
The Moon Wolf Gang member was initially stunned, then laughed angrily, "Trying to be a hero, are you?"
