Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 24 The Retreat of the Two Gangs

The owls squawked and flew high, following for a while until Dunn left the vicinity of their nest. They immediately turned back and left, without actually swarming up at him.

Ultimately, they are just a group of scavenging birds, not some fierce predator.

Dunn withdrew his gaze from them and weighed the strange owl he had just killed in his hand.

It wasn't one of those old or weak individuals that walked right into the trap or could be easily lured in by simply pretending to be a corpse; it was a robust individual from within the group.

Only now that he has actually caught and captured it can he be sure that this kind of big monster is almost turning into a monster. It looks about the same size as an old and weak person, but it weighs more than 20 kilograms, twice as much!

"It's not surprising, after all, they eat the remnants of corpses from the Qi Refining stage all day long."

This is also why Wei Ming and his group unconsciously resisted eating them.

"In this situation, there's not much room to worry about such things; it's better to consider it a final act of support from the dead to the living..."

With the thought lingering for a moment, Du En quickly walked back.

The medicine and porridge simmering in the two earthenware pots are still quite a bit too hot.

He simply wrapped himself in his clothes, went to boil water, and began to deal with the tyrant.

Once everything was processed here, the herbs were added to the water and cooked. The porridge and medicine were ready at the same time.

Directly lower the food into the stomach to fill the empty stomach, then exercise to accelerate the absorption of the dietary and medicinal effects.

The color returned to his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After circulating the Qi twice, the stomach and intestines were empty.

He opened his eyes and watched over the stewed owl, which took a while to finish cooking.

A stronger fragrance mingled with the owl's own sour and foul smell.

Dunn scooped up a mouthful of soup and drank it.

Well, it's only slightly better than regular stewed pork, still not tasty.

However, the nutritional value is indeed abundant. Compared to the previous stewed owl, which was only barely at the first level, this stewed owl is a solid first-level low-grade spiritual food!

This kind of nutrition is enough to support his current cultivation needs!

After consuming the spiritual food, Duen began to diligently cultivate and practice.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the shantytown.

In a fairly spacious open space that had been specially reserved, the two gang leaders of Blood Eagle Iron Hand each led their respective hall masters to gather here.

Compared to the tense atmosphere of the past and the brutal fighting last night, they are now exceptionally polite and warm.

"Oh, brothers, you're too kind! You beat us to it. We're so sorry!"

"Hey, little brother, you don't need to be like this. As the older brother, it's no big deal for me to come a little earlier!"

Both sides were in high spirits, exchanging pleasantries and smiles, forcing out genuine emotions.

Last night they went to Qingya Garden to apologize and beg for forgiveness, and barely managed to come back alive. Now, naturally, they dare not have any more conflicts, and have to pretend to be happy.

This is one of them.

There's a second one!

"Brother, did you also run into some bastards from the Green Robe Gang?"

"Oh? You too, bro?"

The two gang leaders looked at each other and confirmed the situation.

It was indeed the Green Robe Gang who did it!

These despicable scoundrels, seeing that they were disliked by their superiors and had suffered heavy losses in a battle, immediately began to expand their territory.

Of course, because they also need to consider the managers, this expansion is not blatant, nor is it rapid. That's why these two groups have the time to react now and come together to negotiate.

They looked at each other again, their thoughts perfectly clear to each other.

"Hmph! It's one thing to come to my brother's place and take advantage of his misfortune, but to dare to go to my brother's place is simply outrageous!"

"Dare to provoke my tiger's whiskers, brother! I will certainly not let those scoundrels in blue hats get away with this!"

After saying these nice words, the two shook hands and made peace.

Let's retreat and preserve our capital, and together we'll withstand the pressure from Qingyi!

This is the countermeasure they're too embarrassed to say outright.

Although the core members of both gangs have not been lost, it is not impossible for them to join forces and fight back against the Green Coat Gang. However, they are about to keep a low profile now, so how dare they cause any more trouble?

Therefore, this is the optimal solution.

Let's settle the score once things have calmed down!

They harbored resentment not only towards the Green Robe Gang, but also towards another gang.

In short.

When Du En got up early the next day and went out to investigate, he did notice the actual change in the atmosphere and was quite satisfied with the fact that both gangs were now keeping their tails between their legs.

In this way, the oppression from the gang of bullies has been greatly alleviated.

Although the problem has not yet been effectively solved, valuable time has been gained.

When they returned to the courtyard, the others were still asleep, like dead pigs.

Dunn had no choice but to break down the door and wake them up one by one.

"Ha~"

Wei Ming couldn't help but yawn. After a quick wash and change of clothes, he looked at Du En, who had a rosy complexion and was full of energy, while the others looked listless and sickly. He couldn't help but complain, "Boss, why do you, the injured one, look like you're in the best condition?"

"Because I eat a lot and train a lot."

Dunn's answer was simple and honest.

Wei Ming only felt that this was just a perfunctory response, and no one else took it to heart.

Regardless of the circumstances, we still have to go to work.

A group of people, looking dejected, strolled in, facing the sunlight.

Then, as soon as I stepped out, I was blocked by someone.

Blood Eagle Gang!

Liu Qixiang, who looked quite young, only in his early twenties, appeared somewhat solemn and nervous at the moment. Facing the six people, he couldn't help but straighten the blood eagle pattern on his clothes, but seemed to lack confidence and subconsciously swallowed.

"What's the matter?"

Duen took the initiative to speak, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Uh, well, about the protection money."

Liu Qixiang hesitated and stammered.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Dunn and his group, but rather that they were currently in a dilemma.

This protection fee must be collected; the Blood Eagle Gang needs to recover its losses as soon as possible. However, the gang leader, Zhang Lin, has specifically instructed them to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble, or he will personally kill them!

This left the gang members responsible for the actual implementation completely bewildered, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

A lack of confidence leads to changes in the situation.

At that moment, other people living nearby, who belonged to the same settlement area, noticed the situation and stopped to watch.

Clearly, there was anticipation involved.

If those six tough guys like Dunn choose to refuse to pay, they will use this as leverage to try to pay less or not at all, and then push the blame onto Dunn and his group if any trouble arises.

They should make them pay first, then come looking for us!

It's not that we don't want to pay, it's that they did it first!

It's all those despicable people who buried the corpses, blame them if you want!

Duen glanced at them and knew what these neighbors, who used to look down on them with disdain, were thinking now.

So he nodded directly and asked, "How much are you going to charge this time?"

"Not much, it's calculated per person, one yuan per person."

"Okay, here you go."

Without the slightest hesitation, Du En took out the spirit stones he had prepared beforehand and tossed them directly to the other party.

It is not the right time to cause further trouble, and we should not be used as pawns for nothing.

Anyway, there were enough spirit stones, only six. Even the other burial people didn't pay much attention. They glanced at them and followed Du En, passing Liu Qixiang, and heading towards the burial wasteland.

what?

So you've already accepted it?

Liu Qixiang caught the spirit stone, clearly bewildered.

Didn't they say that the people who buried the dead are now very tough?

The hall master specifically mentioned it, so what's going on?

As he pondered, he quickly recalled what Zhang Lin had said next.

"That kid just got harassed by the foreman for trying to get his wages, so he shouldn't be putting on a brave face now. Anyway, I have faith in you, go collect the money!"

Liu Qixiang couldn't help but nod to himself, realizing that he had underestimated the leader and that his attention had been diverted as soon as he heard about the tough work.

After dealing with the troublesome one, he gained confidence and glanced around at the other people in the area.

They were initially observing, but now they were all completely dumbfounded.

No way, you bunch of bastards, why did you back down this time?!
