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

The moment the courtyard gate opened, Bai Ye recognized two people standing at the entrance.

One was called Biaozi, and the other was called Ergou. Like him, they were low-level members of the Axe Gang.

Furthermore, they worship the same pier, Jiao Ye, one of the top ten red sticks of the Qiaozhen branch.

Jiaoye and Black Wolf are of similar strength, both being martial artists at the early stage of Mingjin.

Biaozi and Ergou had followed Master Jiao for a long time and were considered his two confidants, second only to Master Jiao in status.

Normally, Biaozi and Ergou are considered superior within the gang and have no interaction with Bai Ye, who is a new member.

The two of them suddenly showed up at my door today, which made Bai Ye very curious about their purpose.

Could they have come for Chen Shuan?

If that's the case, could the person Chen Shuan wouldn't even dare to reveal even in death be his boss, Jiao Ye?

Bai Ye thought of this, and his mood instantly became heavy.

If his guess is correct, it's not a good thing for him.

Doesn't this mean that the siblings have been targeted by two corrupt officials?

Although Bai Ye was panicking inside, he remained outwardly calm and politely greeted Biaozi and Ergou: "Brother Biao, Brother Gou, what brings you to my house today? What do you want?"

Biaozi and Ergou didn't respond immediately, but instead looked around the courtyard, as if searching for someone.

Seeing Biaozi and Ergou's behavior, Bai Ye became even more tense, guessing that their sudden visit was most likely to be to find Chen Shuan.

Therefore, the person Chen Shuan was so afraid to confess must be his boss, Jiao Ye.

Why would Master Jiao go to such lengths to deal with the siblings?

Logically speaking, given Jiao Ye's strength and background, there was no need for him to deal with them in such a way.

Although Bai Ye was somewhat puzzled, he vaguely guessed that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Even the murder of his parents might have some connection to Lord Jiao.

Bai Ye became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it, her heart growing heavier and heavier, as if a mountain was hanging over her head, ready to crush her and her brother at any moment.

With this in mind, Bai Ye looked at the two men with wary eyes, and his right hand quietly reached for his waist, ready to make a move at any moment.

If Biaozi and Ergou attack him, he will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Biaozi glanced into the courtyard, his brow furrowing as he asked with some doubt, "Xiaoye, how's your injury healing? Did anyone come over today?"

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Biao. My injuries have almost healed."

Bai Ye smiled faintly and thanked him, then feigned surprise and asked, "I've been recuperating at home all day, and no strangers have come to my house. Could it be that the people you hired have hidden in my house?"

"If that's the case, come in quickly and find him, then arrest him so I can have peace of mind."

As Bai Ye spoke, he stepped aside to make way, tightening his grip on the axe handle with his right hand.

Biaozi and Ergou are seasoned veterans, second only to the Red Sticks in combat prowess, far superior to Liu Mazi and Chen Shuan.

Even if Bai Ye's physique is strengthened, he might not be a match for the two of them when fighting one against two.

Most importantly, even if Bai Ye manages to kill the two, he will attract Jiao Ye's attention.

He is no match for Master Jiao right now, and he doesn't want to alert him.

But if Biaozi and his companion really wanted to cause trouble, he had no choice but to fight them to the death.

"Need not!"

Seeing Bai Ye's nervous expression, Biaozi chuckled and said, "Since Xiao Ye says no, then we must have seen wrong."

As soon as Biaozi finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Ergou and nodded slightly to each other.

It seems they believed Bai Ye's words and thought Chen Shuan had lied to them.

Biaozi and Ergou hesitated for a moment, then gave up their plan to go into the courtyard, putting Bai Ye's mind at ease.

At present, he really didn't want to fight with the two of them, lest he alert them and incur Jiao Ye's hostility.

"Brother Biao, Brother Gou, can you tell me who you're looking for?"

Although Biaozi and his companion gave up on entering, Bai Ye still wanted to subtly inquire whether they had come for Chen Shuan.

Unfortunately, Biaozi and his companion didn't answer. Instead, they changed the subject, giving Bai Ye a meaningful smile: "Xiao Ye, I see you've recovered pretty well. We're going to Bai Jinhan tonight to seize territory. Do you want to come along?"

"It's said that one of the rewards for this operation is a vial of serum, the value of which needs no further explanation."

Upon hearing about the serum from Biaozi, Bai Ye was shocked by the generous reward.

Serum potion is a foreign concoction from Western churches. Taking it is said to activate bloodline power, allowing one to break through strength in a short period of time.

Two months ago, Jiaoye took a bottle of serum to activate his bloodline, and his cultivation broke through to the Ming Jin level, becoming a Red Stick.

"I'll definitely go tonight!"

Bai Ye agreed without hesitation.

Putting aside the serum potion reward for this mission, he also wanted to meet Master Jiao, a Red Stick of the Axe Gang who had stepped into the martial arts world.

He wanted to meet with Jiao Ye directly to see if the other party had his eye on him and his sister, and what his true intentions were.

"call!"

After Biaozi and Ergou walked away, Bai Ye let out a deep breath, his tense mood easing a bit.

We've barely managed to weather this crisis.

Bai Ye turned to look at Liu Mazi and Chen Shuan, who were buried under the big locust tree, and became even more determined to move them.

Otherwise, where they are buried will eventually become a hidden danger, like a sword hanging over their heads.

"To completely resolve the crisis, we must start with the Imperial Seal of the State."

Faced with two potential formidable Ming Jin opponents, his only remaining reliance is the Imperial Seal of the Nation in his mind.

The first blessing from the white dragon granted him the reward of being strong and healthy, free from illness and injury, and allowed him to witness the power of the Imperial Seal of the Nation.

Therefore, he had a strong expectation for the upcoming blessing from the dragon vein.

However, to receive the new Dragon Vein Blessing, one must first obtain National Fortune Points.

"If I'm not mistaken, the way to obtain national fortune points is to find someone with a number above their head."

With a simple thought, Bai Ye found a way to obtain national fortune points.

"Before acquiring the national fortune points, let's prepare for the gang war tonight."

Bai Ye knew very well that a fierce battle was inevitable when they tried to seize Bai Jinhan's territory that night.

In order to improve his ability to protect himself, Bai Ye prepared to cram in the Axe Gang's standard axe skill, "Three and a Half Moves," at the last minute.

"Three and a Half Moves" truly lives up to its name, as it consists of only three moves: splitting the skull, slitting the throat, and rupturing the chest, each move potentially fatal.

The reason there was no follow-up half-move is because in a gang fight, if three axe blows haven't killed the opponent, there's no chance to unleash a fourth move.

Perhaps due to the enhancement of his physical fitness, Bai Ye wielded his axe and practiced "Three and a Half Moves" without feeling tired at all.

After nearly an hour of practice in the daytime, I finally mastered "Three and a Half Moves" and also discovered its shortcomings.

An axe is ultimately not as agile as a sword or knife; every time it attacks someone, it will create a defensive vulnerability.

However, as a member of the Axe Gang, Bai Ye can only use the standard-issue axe, which makes things a bit difficult.

"I've got an idea!"

Bai Ye's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution.

The weapon, an axe, cannot be changed, but that doesn't mean he can only use one axe.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye immediately picked up an axe and began practicing in the yard.

Another hour passed, and after Bai Ye's tireless practice, he was already able to skillfully use the double axes to make moves.

As he wielded the two axes, they continuously produced two white afterimages, alternating seamlessly.

Seeing the power of the double axes, Bai Ye smiled with satisfaction.

When using dual axes, his strength increases by at least 100%, greatly enhancing his ability to protect himself in gang fights.

After cultivating for two hours straight, it got dark, and the time for the gathering was approaching.

Without wasting any more time, Bai Ye gave Bai Luo some instructions and then went out to meet the Axe Gang.
