Anger Gang Attacks_1 …

“Jiaolong Gang?”

Chen Xiuwu’s face also changed, his expression becoming extremely grave.

All along, the Jiaolong Gang has been the overlord of several counties along the Peace River, monopolizing the entire river shipping trade.

They have signed specific agreements with all the families of varying sizes along the river.

The trade goods of each family, they don’t care if you use the land route.

… However, if you want to use the waterway, you can only do so within your county.

If you want to transport goods to other counties through the Peace River route, you must pass through the Jiaolong Gang.

The reason why the Jiaolong Gang is so domineering is also related to their backing.

It is said, just said, that there is a royal prince supporting the Jiaolong Gang.

Moreover, the leader of the Jiaolong Gang is also a renowned cultivator of the Purple Abode Realm.

Generally speaking, the strength of the Jiaolong Gang is not inferior to a fifth-grade Purple Abode clan.

But, the Jiaolong Gang also has significant limitations, which is that their business can only be restricted to the Peace River, with the Eastern Sea’s estuary as the boundary.

Logically speaking,

in accordance with the agreement between the Jiaolong Gang and each family, Chen Clan’s fleet of Donggang was helping the In-laws Alliance to transport goods did not breach the agreement.

After all, the river fleet of the Chen Clan, at most, would dock at the Changning port in Changning, and then sell throughout the county by the Qian Family’s land trade association.

The business of the In-laws Alliance was doing such a thriving business, of which numerous bestselling items of considerable value were included.

The domineering Jiaolong Gang had long coveted this piece of fat meat.

Several attempts to negotiate with the In-laws Alliance were met with resistance and opposition.

Because of this, the Jiaolong Gang had long harbored resentment, and had had several clashes with the river fleets of the Chen Clan in the Peace River.

However, both sides had their reservations and thus, for the time being, it only stayed at the stage of finding faults and verbal disputes.

But this time, those several river ships of the Jiaolong Gang even sailed to the outskirts of Donggang, intending to enter Donggang.

This has obviously violated the agreement with various local families.

After all, Donggang’s location is exactly at the estuary of the Eastern Sea.

No wonder then,

that Chen Xiuwu and Chen Fanghua’s expressions became so grim.

…

Meanwhile,

The three river ships flying the angry Jiaolong flags were not Jiaolong Gang’s transportation ships.

Instead, they were battle-class ships specifically designed for quick strikes and patrols etc.

On the ships, members of the Jiaolong Gang were wearing red and black uniforms.

Underneath, they wore close-fitted body armor made of specially tanned Spirit Fish skin, with short blades or small spears hanging from their waists, and holding ranged weapons such as crossbows in their hands.

All of them had bright eyes and long breaths, obviously they were elite gang members who specialized in ship and water combat.

The weakest among them also had a cultivation base of the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and most of them were at the fourth or fifth levels.

Among them, there were even elites at the sixth or seventh levels, and team leaders at the eighth or ninth levels.

On each of the Anger Gang warships, there was a commander belonging to the Spirit Platform Realm to keep things in order.

Given this, a single Anger Gang warship equipped for combat could suppress an ordinary Rank Nine prominent family.

If three of them set off together, even a Grade Eight prominent family would not dare to confront them.

Moreover, the Anger Gang warships are skilled in water warfare and all the gang members are proficient swimmers.

Ordinary merchant ships dare not oppose them.

The leading Anger Gang warship, at the bow of the ship, stood a middle-aged man.

He was wearing a set of soft armor made from the hide of a high-level fierce beast.

His bald head gleamed, and there was a deep scar running from his left eye to the corner of his mouth, looking ferocious and scary.

The two commanders of the Spirit Platform Realm behind him both held their breath and dared not breath heavily.

This bald scarred man was none other than one of the well-known Heavenly Human Realm experts in the Jiaolong Gang – “One-Eyed Jiao” Zhao Wuqing.

Zhao Wuqing originally came from an ordinary Eighth Grade Prominent Family in a certain county.

He had achieved much in his studies and martial arts since he was a child.

His family regarded him as a Celestial-type and had high hopes for his future, with a distantly related cousin who was his childhood sweetheart by his side.

Theoretically, Zhao Wuqing’s life should have been happy and fulfilling.

But unfortunately, unpredictable things happen.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly fell ill with a strange disease.

His entire body’s channels were blocked and congested, which led to his inability to circulate mysterious energy to refine his blood, and strengthen his body.

His cultivation base dropped day by day.

Because he couldn’t refine his blood, he accumulated energy, and his body kept getting fatter and more bloated.

From a young handsome man, he gradually turned into a fat man who panted even after a few steps.

His family took him to doctors everywhere but to no avail, and gradually gave up on him.

His childhood sweetheart, a distantly related cousin, also gradually distanced herself from him and climbed up to a straight lineage son of a 7th Rank family.

Desperate and heartbroken, Zhao Wuqing ran away from home, and after a series of hardships, unexpectedly met the leader of the Jiaolong Gang—River-overturning Dragon, Long Wuji.

Speaking of which, Long Wuji could be considered a knowledgeable genius of his generation.

He recognized that Zhao Wuqing’s “illness” should be a side effect caused by awakening some special bloodline constitution.

So he found a profound method of body refining and personally helped him clear his channels and lay a foundation for a long period of time.

Zhao Wuqing soon got rid of the “illness”, and his cultivation base began to skyrocket.

At the same time, he abandoned his original name and renamed himself Zhao Wuqing to set a clear boundary with his past.

From then on, Zhao Wuqing tightly followed Long Wuji and gradually grew into a formidable member of the Jiaolong Gang.

Just because he was very cruel and ruthless, he was always Long Wuji’s most loyal dog.

Therefore, even within the Jiaolong Gang, many gang members feared him rather than respected him.
