Chapter 491: 483 Chapter: Fatal Fire Poison_1

“So be it, then, thank you for your kind offer, Gang Leader!”

Qin Niu no longer declined.

“You two will follow Master Qin from now on and ensure his safety,” Gongsun Jin said, preparing to take his leave. “Brother Qin, the reward has been arranged. The battle ahead is intense, so I must leave now.”

“Weren’t the Shennong Sect and the Nine Insects Gang defeated? Why has the battle situation become tense instead?”

Qin Niu felt somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that the Black Tiger Gang Leader was ambitious and took the initiative to wage war on other gangs?

He didn’t seem like that kind of person.

“Sigh, this matter is indeed quite frustrating. That witch from the Nine Insects Gang luckily escaped with her life last time. Our Black Tiger Gang’s warriors pursued the victory and chased her back to the heartland of the Nine Insects Gang. At that time, due to limited forces, we faced two choices. Either concentrate our forces to wipe out the Nine Insects Gang in one fell swoop or focus on taking down the Shennong Sect.

After two high-level discussions within the gang, we ultimately decided to concentrate our forces against the Shennong Sect first.

Picking the soft persimmon to squeeze, the Shennong Sect’s leader, in order to save his wife, didn’t hesitate to take the Verdant Blood Dan and even resigned from his position, retreating with his wife into the seclusion of the mountains and forests. For the already not so strong Shennong Sect, this was like adding frost to snow.

Moreover, the Shennong Sect has always been neutral, not adept at war. Its land is vast and fertile, and its geographical position is extremely important; for us of the Black Tiger Gang, it holds great value.”

On the other hand, all the territories that originally belonged to the Seven-Star Sect have been captured by us. The remaining territories are simply barren mountains and rough waters, with extremely low value.

Furthermore, the mountains are full of poisonous insects and beasts; every citizen of the Nine Insects Gang is ready to fight, all of them possessing some skill in the Insect Commanding Technique.

To completely eradicate the Nine Insects Gang, we of the Black Tiger Gang would also pay a heavy price.

If that witch takes advantage of the terrain for guerrilla warfare against us, it would undoubtedly lead to a protracted war.”

After weighing the options, we ultimately decided to exterminate the Shennong Sect first, and then deal with the Nine Insects Gang with freed-up resources.

Who knew that witch would once again pull in strong reinforcements and took the opportunity to carve up nearly one-third of the Shennong Sect’s territory. That’s not all; she led the strong members of her gang to command a large number of poisonous insects, launching frequent sneak attacks on our army.”

Currently, the Gang Leader is healing from injuries, with Vice Gang Leader Bai and others leading our army to fight with the Nine Insect Gang.

Both sides have had victories and defeats, but overall, we of the Black Tiger Gang still hold the advantage.”

However, the strength of the Nine Insects Gang remains exceptionally formidable, matching ours, presenting an equal stance. Perhaps when the Gang Leader recovers from his injuries, the end of the Nine Insects Gang will not be far off.”

Gongsun Jin gave a rough outline of the situation on the battlefield.

Qin Niu nodded in realization, no wonder the Black Tiger Gang was tolerating the Nine Insects Gang’s movements. It turned out that the Black Tiger Gang Leader was in seclusion, healing his wounds.

In that battle that day, both the Nine Insects Gang Leader and the Black Tiger Gang Leader were gravely injured.

The Nine Insects Gang even lost all but three of their elders.

Logically, the Nine Insects Gang Leader should also be in seclusion, healing his wounds.

“The Nine Insects Gang has found strong reinforcements again? Did they drag another gang into the fray?”

Qin Niu asked.

“It’s not yet clear whether her reinforcements are from a private force or an official act from another gang. However, those people are extremely powerful, and in terms of the Spirit Qi Realm, their number of strong fighters is no less than ours in the Black Tiger Gang.

Some even have the ability to launch fire attacks, which our side struggles to withstand.”

Upon mentioning these formidable enemies, Gongsun Jin’s tone became especially solemn.

The Spirit Qi Realm warriors already belong to the top echelon of forces under the Immortal Sects.

Finding a large number of Spirit Qi Realm warriors and getting them to fight is by no means an easy task.

Not to mention enlisting the aid of a substantial number of Spirit Qi Realm warriors at the same time— even inviting one or two from that realm would be extremely difficult.

Those in the Innate Realm might still be motivated by money to offer help, but those in the Spirit Qi Realm already have the capacity to build their own families, forming a significant force. They are beyond the need for money.
