In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

When Bai Ye returned home, he found the courtyard gate wide open, which made him feel very uneasy.

He ran into the courtyard and saw the monk lying on the ground, which intensified his unease.

After handing the monk over to Biaozi, Bai Ye searched for Bai Luo in the courtyard, but couldn't find her after looking around.

Upon receiving this result, Bai Ye guessed a possibility: Bai Luo must have been kidnapped by Jiao Ye.

"Ye Yaozu, since you're going to tear off all pretenses, don't blame me."

At this moment, Bai Ye had already listed Jiao Ye as a target to be killed, including his wife, children, and family.

As the saying goes, misfortune should not befall one's family. Since Master Jiao has broken the rules, we cannot blame him for retaliating in kind.

Bai Ye knew very well that in addition to his legal wife and two concubines, Jiao Ye also kept several mistresses outside.

Especially his mistress on Shuguang Street, who even gave birth to a son for Jiaoye, and Jiaoye doted on them both immensely.

At that moment, as Bai Ye was thinking this, the monk awoke from his unconsciousness.

Thinking that he had failed Bai Ye's entrustment, the monk looked at Bai Ye with eyes full of shame: "Ye Zi, I'm sorry, I didn't complete what you asked me to do, and I didn't protect your sister."

"It's not your fault, it was my own carelessness."

Bai Ye offered a word of comfort to the monk, his voice turning colder as he added, "I just didn't expect him to be so ruthless in achieving his goals."

"Do you know who did it?"

The monk asked, somewhat surprised.

Biaozi instantly guessed who it was, and a look of shock crossed his face: "You suspect it was Master Jiao who did it?"

"It's not certain, but there's at least an 80% chance."

Bai Ye's face was icy cold, his fists clenched tightly, and he exuded a murderous aura: "Even if I can't be sure it was him, he ordered Er Gou to ambush me, so I'm determined to take his life."

"I'll be there for you when you take action."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's idea, Biaozi expressed his support without hesitation.

The monk glanced at himself and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "If my injuries heal, count me in too. From now on, I'll follow you guys."

Upon hearing the monk's words, Biaozi suddenly thought of something and teased him with a faint smile: "Monk, maybe you shouldn't hang out with us. I'm afraid you'll bring bad luck to me and Yezi."

Upon hearing Biaozi's words, the monk was first stunned, then his eyes were filled with resentment: "You, Biaozi, when you were in the hospital, I took care of you day and night, and now you're so heartless and ungrateful..."

Although the monk complained, he felt very guilty inside.

He was indeed a bit unlucky; when he was a monk, the temple was burned down by the Japanese.

Then he followed Fei Niu, but Fei Niu's territory was taken away, and he eventually died at Bai Ye's hands.

He had only recently joined Lord Jiao's forces, and Lord Jiao was already suffering heavy losses, not to mention that his subordinates Bai Ye and Biao Zi were plotting a rebellion.

If you look at it that way, he really does seem like a jinx, bringing bad luck to everyone he's associated with.

Realizing he was indeed unlucky, the monk's expression turned utterly dejected, revealing a tearful smile: "Yezi, I think Biaozi is right. I might really be a jinx, which is why your sister got arrested."

At this moment, the monk began to doubt life and started to question himself.

Seeing that Biaozi's joke was about to shatter the monk's resolve, Bai Ye smiled indifferently at him: "Monk, Biaozi was just joking with you, don't take his words to heart."

"Some things may seem to have started because of you, but they were actually already decided long ago and have nothing to do with you."

"Just follow us without worry. I have the strongest constitution, so as long as you're not afraid of being countered by me, you'll be fine."

Hearing Bai Ye's words of comfort, the monk's mood improved considerably.

But after hearing Bai Ye's last sentence, the monk's expression fell again: "Ye Zi, maybe I should stay away from you. What you said is too scary. I'm really afraid that one day you will bring me bad luck."

As soon as the monk said this, Biaozi slapped him, and then the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

At this moment, the monk suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his robes, and handed it to Bai Ye: "Ye Zi, this is what that person left in my hand before he left."

Bai Ye curiously took the letter, opened it, took out the letter inside, and read what was written on it.

The meaning is very simple: he is to take the "Thirty-Six Ways of Whip Kick" manual and go to the Xiunan Street Church three days later.

At that time, both parties will deliver the goods and release the person in return, and warn Bai Ye not to play any tricks.

"To obtain the secret manual of the Thirty-Six Styles of Whip Kick, you must find Master Huang Jiu."

After thinking about this, Bai Ye decided to go to the wasteland again, hoping to meet Limpy Nine again there.

After composing himself, Bai Ye took the black wolf's head and went to pay respects to his predecessor's parents.

After the ceremony, Bai Ye did not return to the courtyard, but went directly to the wasteland to wait for Limpy Nine to appear.

Perfect timing! Let's see if Huanglong's blessing, "Breaking Barriers and Dispelling Evil," can withstand the Black Lotus's soul-bewitching power.

To Bai Ye's disappointment, he spent the entire night waiting but did not encounter Limpy Nine, nor did the Black Lotus Cult appear.

Left with no other choice, Bai Ye had to return home first and ask Biaozi to find out where Jiao Ye's family was.

Jiaoye wanted to use Bai Luo to threaten him, but he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He had to retaliate in kind.

Bai Ye found Biao Zi and pleaded with him, "Brother Biao, could you find someone to help me find out the whereabouts of all of Jiao Ye's family members?"

"Xiaoye, do you mean to...?"

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Biaozi guessed his thoughts and couldn't help but feel a chill.

I truly admire Bai Ye's courage. He hasn't even broken through to the Ming Jin level yet, but he dares to secretly challenge Jiao Ye.

"Leave it to me!"

Despite his surprise, Biaozi didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

Knowing that asking someone for a favor costs money, Bai Ye immediately took out 10,000 yuan and gave it to Biaozi: "Brother Biao, when you're looking for people to gather information, also recruit some people to take over Dawn Street and Black Wolf's Clear Water Street."

Biaozi didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Ye. He took the money and went to do what Bai Ye had asked him to do.

After Biaozi left, Bai Ye quickly prepared some food and went back inside to catch up on sleep.

When Bai Ye woke up, it was already afternoon. Biaozi had returned from his errands and was brewing medicine to heal the monk's wounds.

"Xiaoye, everything is taken care of."

Seeing Bai Ye wake up and leave the room, Biaozi reported to him.

Bai Ye smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, then discussed things with Biaozi for a while, ate something, and began cultivating.

Bai Ye first practiced "Three and a Half Moves". He found that he was not yet comfortable using the Xuanhua Axe in his battle with Black Wolf yesterday.

There are no tricks to "Three and a Half Moves". It's just three moves over and over again. Bai Ye easily mastered it and soon perfected it.

Because the monk was seriously injured, Bai Ye's training in the Iron Shirt Technique would have to be done by Biaozi.

Because Biaozi was a Ming Jin martial artist, his strength and power generation techniques were better than the monk's. Therefore, with his assistance, Bai Ye's progress in cultivating the Iron Shirt technique was faster.

Although I haven't reached the pinnacle yet, I've made great progress. If I continue at this pace, I'll reach the pinnacle in less than three days.

To Bai Ye's surprise, he easily mastered the basics of the "Savage Bull Strength" this time.

Just as Bai Ye had guessed, as he mastered the "Savage Bull Strength" technique, the power he unleashed directly broke through two thousand jin.

As for the "Demon Wolf Thorn" technique that Black Wolf cultivates, Bai Ye did not practice it, as it contradicts his cultivation style.

When Bai Ye finished his cultivation, it was already dark, so he went to the wasteland to find Limpy Nine.
