Living between the two realms, I seek enlightenment in the mortal world.

Chief Lu spoke amiably, recounting his past struggles with his old brothers, how they fought side by side through life and death to build their current empire.

The death of Huang Zheng from the Wolf Gang dragged the Tiger Gang into the abyss.

"Since there was friction, and Chief Huang is convinced that his son's death is related to the Fierce Tiger Gang, why were we not on guard and were even ambushed?" Chen Feng asked for the reason.

This is what he doesn't understand.

Given his personality, if you consider me an enemy, then I should take care of you first.

The person in front of them not only didn't take the initiative to attack, but also wasn't on guard, and was instead successfully ambushed.

In his view, a gang leader shouldn't make such a basic mistake.

"Huang Zheng's death has actually been investigated. There was blood under his ear, and after someone examined him, a needle was forced out of his brain. This is the real cause of his death. To be able to silently pierce his ear with a sewing needle and shoot it straight into his brain without being discovered under the circumstances, requires at least the Innate Realm. In the entire Fierce Tiger Gang, only I have the Innate Realm cultivation, but I don't have that kind of exquisite technique, and I wasn't present either." Gang Leader Lu sighed and smiled bitterly, "Thinking that Gang Leader Huang already knew that the murderer wasn't from our Fierce Tiger Gang, he relaxed his vigilance, and as a result, he was ambushed."

Chen Feng was speechless.

Even if it's confirmed, so what?

When the culprit cannot be found, the opponent becomes the best target for venting.

"With his only son dead, Chief Huang will definitely go crazy. If he can't find the murderer, he'll go after his old rival. After all, his opponent might hire someone to kill him. He also needs to vent his anger and establish his authority." Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Chief Lu strangely.

His body stiffened, and his face twitched.

Gang Leader Lu waved his hand: "The past cannot be changed, but the Fierce Tiger Gang is now at a critical juncture. After the Wolf Gang's sneak attack, our two sides are now locked in a life-or-death struggle. Neither of us will be satisfied until the other is dead."

Chen Feng listened quietly, but did not understand what he meant.

The life or death of the Fierce Tiger Gang has really little to do with those two.

Jiang Xiaoguo listened attentively.

"After losing his son, Chief Huang has gone mad and is capable of anything," Chief Lu added. "But I still have my daughter, my only daughter."

He looked sad.

In fact, he had two sons, both of whom were outstanding, but they were killed one after the other, leaving only a young daughter.

She was well protected and pampered.

"For my daughter, and for the future of all the brothers and their families in the Fierce Tiger Gang, I must fight Chief Huang to the death. If I survive, that's fine, but if I die, the Fierce Tiger Gang will inevitably decline and even fall apart." At this point, Chief Lu first looked at Chen Feng, then turned his gaze to Jiang Xiaoguo, "Your martial arts talent is unparalleled. If you have subsequent cultivation techniques, you will definitely be able to break through to the Innate Realm."

"I want the two of you to join the Fierce Tiger Gang. After I fight to the death, Hall Master Sun will become the acting gang leader and support Lu Wen's growth."

"If you two are willing, you can become hall masters. If you only wish to cultivate in peace, the gang will provide substantial financial assistance."

"Once Xiao Guo reaches the Innate Realm, she can take over as the gang leader. At that time, we can give Wenwen a decent life."

"Don't refuse yet!"

At this point, Chief Lu took out a book and a stack of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the table. He first pointed to the silver notes and said, "This is three thousand taels."

He then pointed to the yellowed books and solemnly said, "This is the secret manual of martial arts, the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique, which Old Chen fought desperately to retrieve."

Chen Feng's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak; his expression simply became much more serious.

"Father died because of this cultivation technique?" Jiang Xiaoguo's eyebrows furrowed, a murderous intent surging forth, her expression extremely hostile. "Who killed him?"

"I don't know." Chief Lu shook his head. "After he obtained this cultivation manual, he had it secretly moved, but he himself was intercepted and killed in the city. As for the enemy? I have been secretly searching for them, but so far I haven't found a single clue. However, one thing is certain: the enemy is not very strong. Even if they have innate cultivation, they are at most not much different from me."

He didn't explain further, but pointed to the cultivation technique with a serious expression and said, "This cultivation technique, including the mental cultivation method, can lead directly to the peak of the Innate Realm. It also includes a set of exquisite footwork, the Spring Breeze Step."

"There are also several complete sword techniques with orderly lineage: Thirty-Six Swords of Spring Breeze and Drizzle, Eighteen Swords of Gale, Nine Swords of Sudden Rain, Three Swords of Thunderstorm, and One Sword of Dripping Water. Especially One Sword of Dripping Water, which is a secret and forbidden technique. If one can thoroughly comprehend it, one can directly reach the realm of a grandmaster."

"This secret manual of cultivation techniques is priceless."

"It's all yours."

Chief Lu pushed the martial arts manual and silver notes forward.

Such benefits made Chen Feng's breathing quicken.

Three thousand taels of silver notes is an enormous fortune; it could cause countless people to suffer heavy losses.

In comparison, the value of the exercise method is greater.

It may even be worth a hundred or a thousand times more.

If what Chief Lu said is true, this is the legacy that could build a family that will last for a hundred years, and it's just been delivered right to our door?

"Uncle Lu, this is incredibly valuable." Chen Feng looked at the other man.

He also noticed that Jiang Xiaoguo was breathing rapidly and was very tempted, but he did not reach out or express his opinion.

"In general, we're all family," Chief Lu said gently. "Xiao Guo has exceptional martial arts talent and her future is limitless. With the cultivation techniques, she'll grow even faster. I've watched you two grow up; you're honest, loyal, and righteous. The purpose of giving you these things is simple: to help Xiao Guo grow quickly and to protect the Fierce Tiger Gang from being destroyed. After all, the Fierce Tiger Gang is the foundation that I and a few old brothers have built over decades. If it's destroyed, I won't rest in peace, even if I die."

He made no promises.

Without saying much, he left the items behind and quietly departed with the two corpses.

Silvery gray ripples, the moonlight is serene.

The courtyard fell silent once again.

"Brother!" Jiang Xiaoguo looked over.

"Can we refuse?" Chen Feng stroked the martial arts manual with his left hand and pressed the silver note with his right.

The practice represents the future.

Silver notes represent the ability to purchase cultivation resources for rapid advancement.

"No!" Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes widened, and she whispered, "That's too much."

"Yes, they gave us too much. Plus, with our parents' connections, even without all that, we couldn't stay out of it." Chen Feng sighed. "That old fox, Uncle Lu, is trying to tie us to the Tiger Gang's war machine and make us work for his daughter."

"Are we really going to risk our lives?" Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated.

"These things are ultimately valuable, and besides, my father died because of them." Chen Feng didn't answer directly, but instead handed over the silver notes. "Keep them safe."

He picked up the manual and read it by the moonlight.

"Okay!" Jiang Xiaoguo happily took it and quickly went into the house to hide the silver notes carefully.

With these, I can properly nourish my brother in the future.

They no longer need to worry about making a living.

"This is a complete set of techniques, with profound mental cultivation methods, exquisite footwork, and advanced swordsmanship." The more Chen Feng looked at it, the more astonished he became, and he was even more impressed by Chief Lu's boldness.
