Dark Immortal Cultivation

The next morning, Zhang Qing had just finished breakfast when he heard a sharp whistle coming from outside.

This is a communication signal from the Changfeng Society, summoning its members to immediately proceed to their headquarters.

Although it wasn't at the level of extreme urgency, it still couldn't be refused or ignored!

After a moment's thought, he immediately changed into the standard uniform of an outer hall disciple and headed out to the Changfeng Society's headquarters.

Zhang Qing's residence was not far from the garrison, so he arrived at the outer hall without much time.

There are already quite a few members in the gang.

Here, Zhang Qing also met the head of the outer hall.

This person rarely shows up in public!

"Walk!"

When most of the people had arrived, the hall master gave an order, and all the outer hall disciples followed suit.

Everyone arrived together at the Gathering Hall in front of Linfeng Pavilion.

Before long, the huge hall was packed with disciples from the inner hall, outer hall, and punishment hall, with more than three hundred people in total.

Almost all of the core and peripheral forces of the Changfeng Society have gathered here.

This was the first time Zhang Qing had ever witnessed such a scene since joining the Changfeng Society.

The four hall masters, the three elders, and the chairman, Gu Changfeng, were all present!

Besides these gang leaders, a white-robed cultivator with an arrogant expression stood beside Gu Changfeng.

He looked very young, only in his early twenties, and quite handsome, but his eyes were dark-rimmed, clearly a result of excessive drinking and womanizing.

He raised his chin slightly, looking down at the gang members present with a condescending gaze.

Who is this guy?

Many of the gang members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ahem!"

Just then, Gu Changfeng, dressed in a green robe, said in a deep voice, "Brothers, let me introduce you. This young master Gu beside me is the newly appointed vice leader of our association!"

He paused, seemingly allowing everyone time to process this sudden news, before continuing, "From now on, if I am not in office, Vice Chairman Gu will have full authority over all affairs of the association, and no one may disobey!"

Gu Qishao?

Vice Chairman Gu!

A series of low cheers immediately rose in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

Originally, the Changfeng Society did not have a vice president; below Gu Changfeng were the Third Elder and the Fourth Hall Master.

If he is not present, the affairs of the meeting will naturally be discussed and decided by these seven people.

Now, suddenly, Gu Qishao appears and immediately becomes someone above the Third Elder.

It really caught everyone off guard.

The reactions of the crowd clearly displeased Gu Qishao, who snorted.

Gu Changfeng's face immediately darkened: "What are you all standing there for? Quickly pay your respects to Vice Chairman Gu!"

Gu Changfeng held immense prestige within the gang. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Vice Leader Gu!"

"very good."

A reserved smile appeared on Gu Qishao's pale face, and he suddenly waved his hand: "This is a reward for you!"

The next moment, a large amount of talisman coins poured out with his gesture, falling on the gang members and the ground with a clattering sound!

Everyone was stunned.

This Seventh Young Master Gu is clearly a scion of a wealthy family from the city; he makes no attempt to hide his haughty and superior air.

But to everyone's surprise, he used this method as a "gift".

Anger flashed in many people's eyes, and they immediately lowered their heads.

Most of the disciples of the Changfeng Society present were cultivators. Although no one disliked talisman coins, Gu Qishao's way of bestowing favors was rather insulting to everyone.

Anyone with a modicum of self-respect would find this kind of tipping method hard to accept!

However, no one dared to act recklessly in front of Gu Changfeng.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness became silent and awkward.

When Gu Qishao, who had just finished showering everyone with money, saw that everyone was "unmoved," his face immediately turned ugly, and he frowned, about to explode.

Gu Changfeng, who was standing nearby, noticed this and shouted again, "Quickly thank Vice Chairman Gu!"

Suppressing their anger, everyone bowed in unison and said, "Thank you, Vice Chairman Gu!"

However, some of the voices sounded strange and sarcastic.

"You country bumpkin!"

Having failed to vent his anger, Gu Qishao stormed off in a huff.

Now it was Gu Changfeng's turn to be embarrassed.

A hint of malice flashed across the leader's brow as he said, "Disperse."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief: "Respectfully seeing off the Master!"

In fact, everyone had many questions on their minds, but they couldn't ask their elders and hall masters. So when they went out, they whispered among themselves in groups of three or five, hoping to get the answers from others.

As for the talisman coins that fell on the ground, some were secretly picked up by people, while others were stepped on.

Zhang Qing mingled in the crowd and left the Hall of Righteousness.

He was standing in a corner, so he wasn't hit by the "rain of money" that Gu Qishao threw.

But I also feel like this guy is throwing money away.

However, this incident also reveals that this vice-leader is a spoiled and arrogant person who neither understands nor needs to understand interpersonal relationships, and has absolutely no understanding of the gangs below him.

Yet, this very person actually came to Qing'an Market.

There must be a big reason for this!

"Junior Brother Zhang..."

As Zhang Qing was thinking, a figure suddenly darted to his side.

It was Fang Mian!

The inner disciple winked at Zhang Qing and said in a low voice, "Let's talk outside."

Zhang Qing understood immediately.

The two left their lodgings together and went to a nearby teahouse.

After taking their seats, Fang Yi smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, you must be very curious about the background of this Vice Chairman Gu, right?"

Zhang Qing's eyes flashed, and he tentatively asked, "Is it the guild leader's relative?"

"That's right, and he's even a member of the main branch!"

Fang Yi looked around and said softly, "I heard he made a serious mistake and was demoted to reflect on his actions. You must be careful in the future, and don't offend him, otherwise..."

Otherwise, he didn't say anything.

But Zhang Qing wasn't so oblivious as to not understand: "Hmm!"

"There's going to be a lot of trouble coming up."

Fang Yi was clearly quite resentful, but he held back from explaining himself to Zhang Qing, and instead picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Junior Brother Zhang, I'm afraid my business will have to be suspended for a while. I can't let anyone find fault with me."

"This Seventh Young Master Gu brought a whole bunch of his trusted men with him!"

Zhang Qing understood.

Although Gu Changfeng was the undisputed leader of the gang, when members of the main branch of the gang were parachuted in, he, who was stationed in the camp, had no choice but to obediently follow orders.

The gangs in the camp were mostly controlled by the various families in the city.

The Changfeng Association was no exception.

Even Fang Yi, a seasoned veteran, found it troublesome and even had to lay low.

This made Zhang Qing feel that Changfeng Society was about to enter a turbulent period.

He just hoped that the trouble wouldn't involve him.

At the same time, Zhang Qing's desire to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining became even more urgent!
