Chapter 11: Boss Ling’s Generosity

Page 1 of 3

Deacon Ling’s treasured saber sent Jiang Fan flying with a single blow. With a heavy thud, he crashed onto the smooth wooden floor.

Had Jiang Fan not activated Damage Transfer at the critical moment, shifting the injury he received onto Old Demon Xu, he would have been gravely wounded.

In that first clash, Jiang Fan had lost by an overwhelming margin—lost utterly and completely.

Inside a spacious wooden building on Wolf Mountain, Old Demon Xu, who had been treating his injuries, suddenly let out a muffled groan. It was as though he had suffered an immense impact.

“Damn it... not again...”

Old Demon Xu trembled with fury. In his rage, he no longer cared that his injuries had yet to heal and headed straight for the main hall of the Wild Wolf Gang.

He was determined to join forces with the gang leader and uncover the identity of the person using that “evil technique” against him, then grind the culprit’s bones to dust...

“Boy, you actually managed to withstand one of this deacon’s blows. Very good. You truly are worthy of being Immortal Xu’s disciple. But now, I’d like to see just how much more you can endure.”

A look of surprise appeared in Deacon Ling’s eyes. According to his judgment, Jiang Fan had barely begun his cultivation, yet he had already managed to withstand the force of a casual strike from him. If the boy were allowed to continue cultivating, who knew what trouble he might cause?

Thus, Deacon Ling had developed murderous intent toward Jiang Fan. Since the boy had offended him, he had to kill him. Otherwise, endless trouble would follow.

Although Jiang Fan was Immortal Xu’s disciple and was destined not to live long, no accidents could be allowed to occur.

Just as Deacon Ling’s killing intent emerged, his name was finally recorded in the Great Dao Heavenly Book.

Jiang Fan had originally intended to continue courting death and provoke Deacon Ling into a frenzy, but now he had no such inclination. He had already achieved his goal.

“Deacon Ling is indeed formidable, worthy of being an Acquired Realm martial artist! I’ll remember this blow, Deacon Ling. One day, I’ll repay you a hundredfold!”

Jiang Fan sprang to his feet and, while speaking viciously, fled from the spacious, luxurious wooden building at top speed. He slammed the door shut behind him.

“You little bastard! You dare threaten me? Let’s see where you can run today!”

Deacon Ling was enraged. He had thought that Jiang Fan would be unable to rise after taking his blow, but the boy was still bursting with vitality.

Bang!

Deacon Ling kicked the door open and quickly gave chase.

“Murder! Murder! The proprietor of the Daxuan Inn is trying to kill someone!”

“Somebody save me! The proprietor of the Daxuan Inn is trying to kill me!”

“Help!”

Jiang Fan shouted as he ran, immediately drawing the attention of countless guests inside the Daxuan Inn.

When Jiang Fan reached the first floor, a large crowd of guests gathered around him. They all stared in astonishment at Deacon Ling, who was hurrying away from the Daxuan Inn.

Hearing Jiang Fan’s cries, Deacon Ling was so furious that smoke nearly poured from his ears. But the Daxuan Inn was a Wild Wolf Gang establishment under his management, and he was its current proprietor. If he truly shouted threats of murder at Jiang Fan in front of so many people, no one would dare return to the Daxuan Inn for food, drink, or entertainment.

Realizing how serious the consequences would be, Deacon Ling could only put away his treasured saber and force his attitude to become as gentle as possible.

“You little beast, just wait! If I don’t kill you, I’ll write my name upside down!”

Deacon Ling could only swear viciously in his heart. His pursuit of Jiang Fan came to an abrupt halt.

“Boss Ling, what happened?”

“Yes, Boss Ling, what exactly happened? We’ve always patronized the Daxuan Inn because we considered it trustworthy, but you frightened us just now!”

“Who was that boy? Why did Deacon Ling want to kill him?”

When Deacon Ling appeared, many of the guests immediately began asking questions. Their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

Seeing so many guests gathered around, Deacon Ling hurriedly suppressed his boundless killing intent. Then he put on a gentle, refined smile and said, “What happened just now was nothing serious. That boy came to the Daxuan Inn looking for trouble without reason, but I’ve already driven him away. I apologize for disturbing all of you.

“How about this? Everything all of you consume today will be half price. Consider it compensation for the fright.

“I hope everyone enjoys the food and drink. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you to it.”

Deacon Ling could not reveal the whole story. That would be far too humiliating.

The truth was simple: Jiang Fan had come looking for trouble for no reason, injured every guard at the Daxuan Inn by himself, and forced Deacon Ling to personally intervene before the matter was settled. If word got out, the Daxuan Inn’s reputation would be ruined.

In the end, Deacon Ling chose to swallow his anger.

“Boss Ling is generous!”

“Hahaha, wonderful! Looks like we’ve come out ahead today!”

“That boy really was asking for trouble. Why would he come to the Daxuan Inn and cause a scene? Doesn’t he know that the Daxuan Inn belongs to the Wild Wolf Gang?”

“That boy is finished. He definitely won’t meet a good end...”

“If it was all a misunderstanding, then let’s disperse.”

The moment the guests heard that Deacon Ling was offering everyone half-price, they felt greatly appeased. Some were even secretly grateful to Jiang Fan for causing the disturbance.

They stopped asking questions. Though they continued whispering among themselves, they returned to their respective tables.

Meanwhile, Deacon Ling hurried back to the fourth floor, his expression dark enough to drip water. He summoned two members of the Wild Wolf Gang and ordered, “Follow that boy. Find out exactly where he went!”

“Yes!”

The two middle-aged gang members answered in unison, then quietly slipped out through the back door of the Daxuan Inn.

Outside the Daxuan Inn, Jiang Fan finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Deacon Ling had not followed him.

“What a pity about that beautiful young woman. In the end, she’ll still be ruined by that beast, Deacon Ling... The Wild Wolf Gang truly commits every kind of evil. One day, I’ll wipe you all out! An utterly wicked force like yours has no right to continue existing...”

Jiang Fan swore viciously to himself before heading toward the next Wild Wolf Gang establishment.

From the information he had gathered on the street, the Wild Wolf Gang possessed three major businesses on Nanping Street. Besides the most luxurious and upscale Daxuan Inn, there was also the Sudden Riches Casino and the House of Pleasures.

“Offending just one Deacon Ling won’t be enough. Once I transfer the damage, he’ll inevitably suffer serious consequences, making it far too easy for people to notice something unusual. In that case, I might as well offend all three Wild Wolf Gang deacons responsible for Nanping Street!”

“But... should I go to the Sudden Riches Casino first, or the House of Pleasures? The casino, I suppose. I’m short of money anyway. I’ll get some silver first, then visit the House of Pleasures afterward...”

At the thought, Jiang Fan smiled faintly.

Just as he was preparing to head for the Sudden Riches Casino, he suddenly noticed someone following him. His expression immediately darkened, and he muttered, “You dare follow me? You really have some nerve...”

He led the two men directly toward a secluded alley on Nanping Street...
