Chapter 49 Chaos
Chapter 49 Chaos
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He remained seated, ignoring the words of Yi Shisan, the leader of the Flowing Light Society.
This kind of low-level provocation has no meaning for him.
Winning would not only expose our strength, but also attract the attention of powerful forces like the Liuguang Society and the Caobang, thus creating enmity.
If I lose, I might not see the sun rise tomorrow.
For these gang members, killing is an easy thing to do.
The Meng family would not risk offending the behemoth that is the Liuguang Society for a small offering.
After all, there are two three-blood warriors in the Flowing Light Society.
"Yi Shisan, what are you talking about?! Do you really think your Flowing Light Society is the absolute overlord of the North District? My Meng family's retainers are none of your business."
Meng An frowned, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes. These words were different from what they had agreed upon before.
Moreover, Zhao Ming's words were tantamount to challenging the entire government.
"Yi Shisan, I am still here. What do you mean by doing this?"
As expected, after Yi Shisan finished speaking, Zhao Ming spoke expressionlessly.
In public, he was the face of the government, and the public order had to be maintained.
Otherwise, if everyone fights in private, what's the point of having the Qinghe government office?
"Hehe, Officer Zhao, I don't have that much guts, but my brother was beaten up. If I let that kid walk out safely today and lose face for the Liuguang Society, it wouldn't be right."
"When the time comes, the first one to not forgive me will be our Lord."
Yi Shisan smiled slightly, but his words were full of seriousness.
Zhao Ming didn't speak, but stepped forward.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.
"Da da da~"
Just then, a member dressed in the clothes of the Flowing Light Society rushed in looking flustered.
Upon seeing Yi Shisan, he quickly stepped forward and whispered something in his ear.
Yi Shisan's face darkened, and then he gave Chen Ran a deep look.
"Let's grab these guys and go."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for anyone else to say anything.
Meng An and Zhao Ming exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
Just as the two were wondering...
Two more people ran in from outside Yonghe Restaurant.
"Boss, this is bad! The Pure Fire Cult, those Pure Fire Cult members have organized refugees outside the city and have opened the North Gate. They are attacking the entire North District."
The entire North District is in chaos.
The constable was panting heavily, his face full of panic.
Zhao Ming's expression changed drastically. He could no longer care about the trivial matters that had occurred here and hurriedly headed out of Yonghe Restaurant.
Meng An, who was standing nearby, also changed his expression slightly upon hearing the news.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"
"Mine, all of them are mine!!!"
"You have so much food?! Why aren't you giving it to us?! You deserve to die!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!! Help me!!!!"
"Murder!! Murder!!!!"
Shouts of killing, screams of agony, and cries for help echoed over the northern district.
"Close the door! Close the door now!!!!"
Hearing the noise outside, Meng An, as the second landlord, quickly organized people to block the doors and windows tightly to prevent the refugees from rushing in.
Chen Ran stood at the back, protecting everyone in front of him.
His heart sank slightly, recalling the previous incident of the cult parading through the streets.
He always felt that there was a mastermind behind everything, controlling everything in Qinghe County.
If things go wrong, it'll be faster to escape.
"Bang bang bang!!"
"Open the door!!!"
"Open the door!!!"
"Aaaaaaah!!!!!"
"Help me!!!"
Fifteen minutes later, the main entrance of Yonghe Restaurant was violently rammed by a force.
Chen Ran activated his Ghost Eye and looked outside.
Several people dressed in the robes of the Pure Fire Sect were seen leading dozens of refugees, indiscriminately slaughtering the people of Qinghe County.
Violence, bloodshed, slaughter, rivers of blood.
With the collapse of order, it was like a living hell.
Fortunately, Yonghe Restaurant and the people Meng An brought blocked the door tightly, preventing the outsiders from breaking in.
Half an hour later, the banging on the door slowly subsided.
The strong smell of blood permeated the entire Yonghe Restaurant.
A few minutes later, another group of people arrived, and the banging on the door continued.
Meng An stood at the back, touching the jade thumb ring on his hand, solemnly directing the personnel to resist wave after wave of attacks from the people outside the door.
The scions of a family trained through proper channels are indeed extraordinary.
Under Meng An's command, although the gate was always on the verge of collapse, it was always able to keep out the refugees and Pure Fire cultists outside.
The main reason is that there are no martial artists among these believers.
Time passed slowly.
This situation continued until evening.
As night fell, the entire northern district was bathed in a crimson glow.
The shouts of battle echoed in the distance, but the surrounding area had quieted down.
Inside Yonghe Restaurant, it was pitch black, and everyone held their breath, sitting uneasily on the floor.
Meng An's expression was calm, but judging from the jade thumb ring he kept turning, his heart was not at peace.
Chen Ran remained standing by the window, activating his Ghost Eye and looking out the window.
The entire street was littered with corpses—the bodies of refugees, believers, constables, members of the Flowing Light Society, all sorts of people.
In the distance, flames soared into the sky as several terrifying energies of blood and qi clashed.
"A three-blooded warrior, terrifying indeed."
In the entire Qinghe County, the Three Blood Warriors are already the pinnacle.
However, there are also differences among the three blood warriors.
Just like those few people in the distance.
"Bang!!!"
With the final collision, the group separated.
The chaos continued into the early hours of the morning before forces from the other districts and the inner city rushed to the scene and drove the Pure Fire Sect out.
No one knows what the Purifying Fire Cult's purpose was in this operation.
………….
In the courtyard of Plum Blossom Lane.
Chen Ran and Meng Sheng sat facing each other.
Meng Sheng's face was full of guilt.
"Junior brother, I'm sorry, this time, I didn't do well. I..."
"Senior Brother Meng, I know you must have done your best, I don't blame you."
"Sigh, if only I had more power at home."
"It's no use. The Flowing Light Society is known for protecting its own. They are the ones who bully others, not the ones who would let others bully them."
Moreover, the Flowing Light Sect will have a third Blood-level warrior. Even if they are only at the initial stage of Blood-level, in terms of strength, even some forces within the inner city are no match for them.
Chen Ran took it all in stride.
After learning that three warriors with three bloodlines would appear in the battle three days ago, and that the third person was Yi Liu, the older brother of Yi Shisan.
Chen Ran knew then that it was perfectly normal for him to be abandoned.
"Try to look on the bright side. The Flowing Light Society is too busy taking care of itself right now. Even if there are three three-blood warriors, they don't have time to pay attention to a nobody like me."
"Junior brother, why don't you stay at the martial arts school for a while?"
I believe your master will never give up on you.
Meng Sheng's words were filled with deep concern.
"Haha, when did Senior Brother Meng become so sentimental?"
"I will find a way to solve my problem, Senior Brother Meng, please don't worry."
Seeing Chen Ran's confident smile, Meng Sheng felt a little more at ease.
"Then, if anything happens, you must tell me, junior brother."
"I will."
After chatting for a while longer, Meng Sheng took his leave.
Chen Ran watched Meng Sheng's retreating figure with a blank expression.
