229 Jin Yang Gang’s Transformation (1/2)
On the other hand, Mu Xue Tong and the Little Princess's thoughts varied rather significantly; they were both quite happy for Han Yan Yao and Jun Wu Yi. [Those two lovers were separated almost ten years ago, were forced to endure all sorts of bitter hardships for a decade… but now that they're receiving support from two such strong individuals, they'll finally be able to pick up the pieces and start anew! This is such a happy moment!]
The first thing the Third Elder did after returning to the Magnificent Jewel Hall was to write a long and detailed letter explaining the events which had occurred over these last few days. His letter was mostly focused on his personal opinions about the Solitary Eagle's involvement, along with that of the ”mysterious and unrivalled Master”; he tied the paper to a messenger-eagle after he was done writing the twelve page-long report, mainly comprising of his views and opinions, and then stood alone atop the Magnificent Jewel Hall's roof, quietly watching the dark and ashen sky; he couldn't help but sigh since he could foresee a storm coming their way!
[I don't know how many people will be sent to their deaths after getting enveloped in this storm!]
[Especially now, that the Xiao Family's Soul Replenishing Jade has been taken away! This is one item they simply cannot bear to lose! And now they will go to any lengths in order to recapture it!]
[However, this jade amulet has now fallen into the hands of that mysterious man in the black mask!]
[So, how will they take it back? Even if the combined strength of all the experts in the Silver City was capable of recapturing it, not many would survive that final battle! We'd end up burning jade and the common stone alike…]
Two more messenger-eagles, each carrying a letter, were set off into the sky with the Silver City as their intended destination; these letters contained messages from Mu Xue Tong and the Little Princess, Han Yan Meng, respectively, with both individuals addressing their letters to the same person: Han Yan Yao!
[That poor woman has wasted away her youth, just so she could become the Jun Family's daughter-in-law someday; I cannot even imagine how much joy this news of her beloved will bring to her heart…]
”What?!” The rampages of Xiao Han's footsteps were covered by his angry roars: ”Jun Wu Yi's injuries have healed? How's this possible? How did he recover! Nonsense! I will not allow this to happen!”
The Third Elder closed his eyes, [all this has happened because of you, Xiao Han! What else do you intend on doing now?]
As the darkness of night began to envelop the sky, the Jin Yang gang's main heads charged through the Tian Xiang City, quickly making their way towards the gang's headquarters.
The Jin Yang gang's heads, known as the ”Jin Yang Illuminati” could only be summoned at the order of the gang's leader. The purpose of such summon wasn't just to help the gang's leader, but actually meant that the gang was faced with a situation as critical as that of life and death. This was the first time that such summon had been issued; in fact, this summon wasn't even issued when the helm of the gang was faced with a force as unpredictable as that of the Solitary Eagle's.
That being said, Jin Feng Lie had refrained from issuing this order at that time simply because the strength of that Old Man was far too horrifying for his ”heads” to deal with, so much so that bringing them into the fold wouldn't have changed the outcome one bit, and hence he had found it more suitable to simply find his Elder Brother, Brother Hai; this situation however, was completely different…
A blue-robed man stood at the top of the stage with his hands folded behind his back; his body language was as serene in depth as that of the ocean's, but his strength as high as the mountains, as he stood there personifying the patience of an endless ocean, seemingly in wait for the Jin Yang Illuminati to convene. Jin Feng Lei, the leader of the Jin Yang gang was sitting on one side with a very solemn and serious expression on his face. He could sense that his Elder Brother and benefactor's attitude had drastically changed since his return.
[He's full of… aggression! It seems as if a… desire is overtaking him!]
[This is very different compared to his previous ”indifferent to the customs of the world” attitude… ]
[Perhaps that is why Brother Hai has asked for the Jin Yang gang's control!]
[And what's even weirder, is that he's actually summoned a convention of the Jin Yang Illuminati… ]
Jin Feng Lie stood up with a gloomy expression on his face upon seeing that about forty-two of his heads had entered the main hall, one after the other, and waved his palms at the crowd which suddenly quieted down, and affixed their gazes towards him in anticipation for him to speak.
”Today, the central authority has issued this summon so that all brothers could convene and witness the announcement of this major event!” Jin Feng Lie's cold and sharp eyes slowly swept the faces of each and every person present, ”from today onwards, we, the Jin Yang gang, will not only welcome our new gang leader, Brother Hai, but will also take our first step in unifying the underworld factions of the capital city. We all know Brother Hai; Hai Chen Feng, and hence I don't feel the need to introduce him. Brother Hai and I have never differentiated between our possessions, to the point where his status in the Jin Yang gang has always transcended my own, but from today onwards, Brother Hai will take over the command, and take the position of the gang's leader! He will be the commanding authority from now on!”
A sudden silence followed his announcement.
Jin Feng Lie quietly waited for a while after making the announcement, but then slowly made an opening since no one had spoken up: ”is there any brother who differs in opinion?”
Hai Chen Feng's hands were still folded behind his back as this announcement was made while his eyes had been constantly scanning the people in front: [these people are supposed to be the Jin Yang gang's core… and now they've all turned to stone…]
”I have some opinions!” A big and burly man stepped out of the crowd: ”I don't understand why the big brother is making such a decision? Brother Hai's martial abilities are unique and peerless, and naturally, we've all come to admire him for them; but would a guest of the gang be able to fill a position as demanding as the gang's leader? What are we having this transfer of control for? I don't know how to put this in words, but Brother Hai has always been detached from the roots of the gang, however, his status in the gang has always been a very esteemed one since he's always helped the leader from the outside… but why do you want him to take over the control?
”All the major parties of the capital city are gathering their experts and it could be said that there is a storm coming for us all; the big Families seem to be making a move, and even we've been approached for the possibility of an alliance by the Mu Rong Family, the Li Family, and the Song Family… how far do you believe you'll be able to take us through this storm? Even though the Jin Yang gang brazenly calls itself 'untouchable', we are nothing in front of these major Families since they are capable of destroying the entire Jin Yang gang before the dawn of tomorrow's sun… what shall I do when faced with such a future?”
