After leaving, Qin Tuo and Long Wu went to another private room.

Apparently, Long Wu had been hosting guests here earlier, but they had all left ahead of schedule because of the incident.

Long Wu suddenly spoke.

”Celestial King, since the Zhao Family is so brazen and has targeted you multiple times, do you want me to get rid of them once and for all?”

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Qin Tuo, however, slowly shook his head and said with a smile,

”The Zhao Family is nothing more than a disorderly mob in my eyes. There’s no need to go to such great lengths to deal with them.”

Hearing this, Long Wu nodded. ’That’s true.’

In Qin Tuo’s eyes, the Zhao Family was no more than a tiny ant, not even worth mentioning.

Qin Tuo then suddenly asked,

”Long Wu, how has the Cyan Fire Gang been lately?”

At the mention of this, a look of resentment flashed in Long Wu’s eyes.

”Celestial King, the damned Cyan Fire Gang has started to stir again. Lately, they’ve been fighting with our Huaiyi Hall over territory in many areas, leading to frequent clashes.”

Qin Tuo couldn’t help but sneer.

”It seems the men from the Cyan Fire Gang have a death wish!”

Long Wu nodded heavily.

”Celestial King, there’s something you don’t know. The only reason the Cyan Fire Gang has gotten so arrogant again is because of Hong Qing.”

”Oh? Has that fellow Hong Qing recovered from his injuries?”

Qin Tuo couldn’t help but ask seriously.

He had heavily injured Hong Qing and even crippled his Bone-Bursting Skill. The man had been recuperating in secret ever since.

Long Wu replied with a solemn expression,

”Yes, Celestial King. I’ve received reliable intel. Hong Qing’s injuries are almost fully healed, and he’s getting ready to make a comeback!”

Qin Tuo snorted with disdain.

”I wounded him once, and I can wound him again. Next time, I won’t be holding back like I did before.”

Long Wu, however, slowly shook his head with a wry smile.

”Celestial King, you may not be aware, but it seems Hong Qing went to find his master. He’s bringing him back for revenge, so this time they’re bound to come on strong—even more formidable than before!”

Yet Qin Tuo remained unfazed, a mocking glint in his eyes as he spoke,

”Don’t worry. Even if Hong Qing brings his grandmaster’s ghost, it’ll be useless. In my presence, they’ll still end up groveling on the ground.”

At these words, a relieved smile spread across Long Wu’s face.

Since Qin Tuo had said as much, what was there left for him to worry about?

Long Wu couldn’t help but say with a laugh,

”Celestial King, with your skills, even if Hong Qing’s master shows up, he’ll know better than to step out of line.”

Long Wu held boundless admiration for Qin Tuo. After all, he had witnessed Qin Tuo display his true power with his own eyes.

That time at Taixu Temple, in particular, when Qin Tuo had defeated Zhang Huan of the Demon Path in just a few moves.

That scene had left a particularly deep impression on him.

It was getting late, so Long Wu reported to Qin Tuo on the gang’s daily affairs.

Qin Tuo’s brows furrowed slightly.

”Oh? So what you’re saying, Long Wu, is that after defeating the Cyan Fire Gang, you want to conduct a city-wide purge to re-establish Huaiyi Hall’s supreme status?”

Long Wu nodded, an unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

”Yes, Celestial King. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Now that you’re here, Huaiyi Hall doesn’t need to hold back at all.”

He had long yearned to return to the top.

Huaiyi Hall had faced numerous challenges recently, and its prestige had suffered a great blow.

Especially since the rise of the Cyan Fire Gang, Huaiyi Hall’s control over Ming City had been in rapid decline.

And now, Long Wu wanted to leverage Qin Tuo’s power to sweep through Ming City’s chaotic underworld and restore Huaiyi Hall as the city’s one and only top gang.

Qin Tuo nodded and waved his hand dismissively.

”In that case, Long Wu, just do as you see fit. If you run into anything you can’t handle, I’ll step in!”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s promise, Long Wu felt as if a great weight had been lifted, and he beamed with joy.

Suddenly, Qin Tuo clapped Long Wu on the shoulder with a grin.

”Long Wu, I came today because I have something good for you.”

Long Wu had already heard Qin Tuo say this over the phone, and he was now filled with anticipation.

”Oh? Celestial King, I wonder what kind of treasure you plan to bestow upon me?”

Long Wu knew that anything from Qin Tuo was bound to be extraordinary.

With a mysterious smile, Qin Tuo opened his palm. In it lay a small pill, emanating a strong, unusual fragrance.

Just smelling the fragrance made Long Wu feel an immediate sense of comfort, as if every pore in his body had opened.

”Celestial King, what is this?”

Long Wu was a little nervous, yet also expectant.

Qin Tuo said mysteriously,

”This is a pill. Taking it will bring you immense benefits.”

”Oh! Is this the kind of pill Cultivators speak of?”

Long Wu’s eyes instantly went wide, and his breathing grew ragged.

The boss of the underworld was suddenly like a flustered child, completely at a loss.

Long Wu respectfully took the pill with both hands and, under Qin Tuo’s watchful gaze, swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing the pill, Long Wu looked a little apprehensive.

A moment later, he suddenly felt a current of heat surge up from his dantian!

”Celestial King... I... I feel hot inside. It’s so strange!”

Long Wu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Qin Tuo just smiled.

”Don’t rush it. You’ll soon understand the benefits of this Qi Gathering Pill.”

Sure enough, after another moment, Long Wu shot to his feet, his skin flushing a deep crimson.

”Celestial King, I feel like I have an endless supply of energy! I need to let it out!”

Qin Tuo laughed heartily, knowing Long Wu had successfully absorbed all the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill.

”Alright, Long Wu, why don’t you go to the courtyard out front and get a feel for your new strength!”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, Long Wu grew even more excited.

He immediately hurried out of the private room and into a courtyard in the center of the eighth floor.

The courtyard was elegantly arranged, with a classic, antique charm, featuring a rockery and several stone steles.

Qin Tuo leisurely walked out of the private room and saw Long Wu in the courtyard, standing before one of the stone steles.

Long Wu took a deep breath, then stared at his fist as a sharp light glinted in his eyes.

At that moment, many guests in the other private rooms saw this scene through their windows, all of them perplexed.

The next moment, Long Wu let out a great roar and smashed his fist heavily into the stone stele before him!
