Chapter 143 Immortal Cultivator
The street kid in front of him was eliminated in three strokes, five divided by two, and Li Qing restrained him with one hand while questioning him about the Green Gang.
After this inquiry, Li Qing also found out that a lot of things had indeed happened in the past ten years.
About five or six years ago, two masters of internal energy from Big Rock City passed away one after another.
The older generation who had experienced the Sunshine Era have all withered away, and even Tianlong, the righteous gang of Obsidian City, has passed away.
Later, the person in charge of the Righteous Gang was Zeng Tianlong's adopted daughter, An Xuan!
An Xuan learned from Miao Qi that Li Qing was interested in the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce, so without saying a word, she decided to take action against Giant Rock City while the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce did not give birth to a new internal power master!
Not to mention, the long-planned raid by the Righteous Gang really caught the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce off guard.
They integrated several other gangs in the city who were usually dissatisfied with the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce, and combined with several foreign power experts, they really almost overturned the two major forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce, and destroyed the giant rock. The city was under his control.
Unfortunately, I don't know what happened later, and its fierce attack suddenly stopped, and even swallowed up a lot of the territory it swallowed up.
But no matter how you put it, the strength of the later Yi Gang can be considered to have increased several times, and it has occupied a place in the city. It is one of the three major forces in Giant Rock City along with the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce.
"I heard that the city lord's palace and the red fish merchant may have trained a martial arts master who immediately interrupted the attack of our Green Gang."
"However, the master of internal strength did not eradicate our Qinggang. Instead, he allowed us to stay in the city and develop, allowing us to stand on three sides with the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce."
"Uncle, no matter how many there are, I don't even know about them!"
Jie Liuzi had a mournful expression on his face. He never expected that after guarding several stone houses for so long, he would encounter such an evil star.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me who are the top leaders of your Yiqing Gang now." Li Qing interrupted his plea for mercy.
"Later, after our Yi Gang absorbed the power of other gangs in the city, it was renamed the Qing Gang. It has one gang leader and two deputy gang leaders."
"The gang leader is Gang Leader An. There are two deputy gang leaders. One is Ke Luoda, the former gang leader of the Sand Crocodile Gang, and the other is Zhao Kou, the former strongest thug of the Yi Gang."
After hearing Jie Liuzi's unreserved words, Li Qing finally understood the specific situation of the Qing Gang.
"It seems that Sand Crocodile is so loyal that he can become the deputy gang leader." Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time he was quite surprised by An Xuan's management skills.
The little girl who could only hide behind her grandfather and beg for mercy is now a strong woman who manages a huge gang!
And with the current management structure of the Qing Gang, even Li Qing can't find any major faults.
The other gang leaders who merged into the Yi Gang formed an elders' council of the Green Gang, sharing half of the power in the gang with the three gang leaders, the chief and the deputy.
The elders and the three gang leaders, the chief and the deputy, supervise each other and discuss important matters together.
Of course, not all members of the Presbyterian Church are former gang leaders from other gangs. There are also some people who have made great contributions to the gang, such as Miao Qi and Wei Tian.
With the existence of these few cronies, the actual control of the Qinggang still lies in An Xuan's own hands.
"Lead the way, I'm going to see Elder Miao of your Green Gang." Li Qing said coldly.
In this regard, Jie Liuzi naturally did not refuse. Anyway, he couldn't beat him, so he might as well obey to avoid losing his life.
After all, he is just the lowest level member of the Youth Gang. If a gang is too big, it is impossible for everyone under it to be willing to sacrifice their lives for the gang. There are many young men like this.
In this way, Jie Liuzi took Li Qing through several streets in the city and arrived at Miao Qi's current residence.
Along the way, he didn't know if it was Li Qing's illusion. He always felt that the Big Rock City now under the three pillars was much more prosperous than before, and there were a lot more people on the streets.
"Uncle, Elder Miao Qi lives in this villa now, you see"
Before Jie Liuzi could finish his words, Li Qing struck the back of his neck with his hand knife, knocking him out neatly.
Ahead is a courtyard with a very special style. There is a field of colorful ornamental mushrooms planted in it. Under the illumination of luminous mushrooms, it looks unique.
Li Qing was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He exerted force on his feet and showed good physical skills. He easily bypassed the guard at the door and sneaked directly into the residence.
At this point in time, Miao Qi had just returned from the gang.
"Sigh, I don't know if Brother Zhao can successfully break through the inner energy." Miao Qi clenched her palms tightly with a frown on her face.
Li Qing, who was hiding on the roof, naturally heard this and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that this guy Zhao Kou is also going to break through and become a master of internal energy?
It's not that simple.
Thinking of this, Li Qing didn't bother to hide anymore. To him, it seemed that the city was just ordinary warriors and there was not much threat at all.
"Ahem, Miao Qi, long time no see."
Miao Qi, who was about to close his eyes and rest, suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a look of horror: "Who?!"
Bang!
What responded to him was a tall figure descending from the ceiling.
Miao Qi looked at the figure in front of her bed, her mouth wide open, and she was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
The voice, appearance, and smile of the man in front of him were exactly the same as the man from more than ten years ago.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to forget this man's appearance, because the Qing Gang's name was taken from his name.
"Brother Li? Is it really you?!"
"Brother Li, am I right? Am I dreaming? Brother Li, are you really back?!"
Miao Qi asked questions again and again in shock, and for a moment she became a little incoherent.
Li Qing touched his nose. To be honest, after more than ten years in this world, Miao Qi's face has become that of a person in his thirties or forties, and he has become very mature.
But his own appearance is still young, and he is still a young man in his prime.
Now that the other party calls him Brother Li, he feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Well, after so many years of separation, your fortunes are quite good. You have already taken the position of gang leader." Li Qing said with a smile.
How many more than ten years can a life last? Looking at the appearance of the man in front of him, Miao Qi felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had gone back to the time when he led him to Giant Rock City more than ten years ago.
Time has never left any trace on his face. This face is still exactly the same as the face he remembered for more than ten years.
Bang!
Miao Qi knelt down and said respectfully: "Miao Qi, I have met Brother Li!"
"Brother Li, you are finally back!"
Looking at the man kneeling in front of him, Li Qing solemnly helped him up.
"Get up. There seems to have been a lot of changes in the city during my absence. Tell me about them."
Next, Miao Qi briefly explained the origin of the Qing Gang and the current situation in the city, which was exactly the same as what the street kid said before.
However, as a member of the Qinggang Presbyterian Council, Miao Qi knew more after all.
It turned out that after the two internal energy masters Ge Wen and Qin Xiu passed away one after another, the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce gained another internal energy master named Xiang.
And now, the three major forces in the city are all controlled by this warrior named Xiang.
"The man's name is Xiang Fa. He doesn't seem to have been practicing martial arts for a long time, but he is a real master of internal energy. His energy and blood don't look like those of a man in his forties or fifties at all. When he explodes, he looks more like a young man."
"In addition, this Xiang Fa also knows some special methods. He is not an ordinary warrior at all."
"Later, after some inquiries from the gang leader, I accidentally revealed his true identity when the other party was having a good time drinking. It turned out that Xiang Fa was once a cultivator of immortality!"
Hearing this, Li Qing's eyes narrowed.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, there was indeed an immortal cultivator behind the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce!
But without spiritual energy, how can a person become an immortal?
Suddenly, Li Qing thought of many things.
For example, this world may have had aura, but it may have disappeared later and entered the so-called Age of Ending Dharma!
That's why the immortal cultivator named Xiang started to interact with mortals, and also practiced martial arts and became an inner strength warrior.
In this way, everything makes sense.
"That's it." Li Qing nodded and rubbed his chin with his hand out of habit.
"Brother Li, now that you are back, what are your plans?" Miao Qi carefully asked Li Qing about the purpose of coming back this time.
Li Qingsa smiled happily: "Hahaha, when I asked you and the people from the Sand Crocodile Gang to keep an eye on the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce, it was actually because of the immortal cultivator named Xiang. Unexpectedly, he showed up on his own initiative."
"Miao Qi, have you had any contact with that Xiang Fa? Tell me what you think of him."
After thinking for a while, Miao Qi carefully analyzed: "That person has a strong desire for control and enjoys the power that power brings to him."
"He had more than one opportunity to get rid of the senior members of our Green Gang, but he did not take action. Instead, he allowed us to stay in Giant Rock City and form a three-legged confrontation with the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Fish Chamber of Commerce."
"This person is not a womanizer. He likes to take care of his body. He attaches great importance to food and drink, but he also likes to drink."
"Also, the armored pigs and some other livestock sold by the Red Fish Merchant Guild were bred by him. Later, after he took over the power of Giant Rock City, he stopped cultivating other edible livestock."
"The hunting operation that was in full swing in the city has also stopped."
After listening to Miao Qi's detailed analysis, Li Qing nodded secretly and said that it was good, almost as he expected.
He is greedy for power, loves to play with power, and likes to keep in good health, but he can't let go of the worldly wine.
This is in line with all his imagination of a cultivator who has no hope of becoming an immortal. He loses his ambition by playing with things and surrenders to self-destruction?
Li Qing himself had imagined that if he did not have spiritual roots to cultivate immortality, he might live like this after achieving great martial arts.
Work hard to forge more weapons so that you can live longer, and then become an invincible martial arts master in the mortal world.
After enjoying all the good things in the world, maybe he can't help but seek power and usurp the throne, become an emperor for fun, and experience a variety of different lives.
But things are different now, and his path to immortality has not been cut off!
"Back then, Ge Wen and Qin Xiu, two masters of inner strength, were able to hold down the immortal cultivator. It seems that this era of Dharma Ending still has a great influence on him."
Li Qing muttered to himself, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.
If two internal strength masters could make Xiang Fa feel fearful and then endure for so many years, then now he, who is at the top of martial arts and the realm of the master of transformation, should be able to easily control the other party.
Given Li Qing's current strength, let alone the fact that he is just a cultivator who has exhausted his spiritual power in the Dharma Ending Age, even if he still has the strength of the initial stage of Qi Refining, Li Qing may not be too afraid.
In the past, cultivators were so mysterious in Li Qing's eyes. Now that Li Qing has also embarked on this path, he has more or less a bottom line in his heart, at least he doesn't have to be too afraid of the small cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining.
"Excuse me, Brother Li, what is the Dharma Ending Age?" Miao Qi asked curiously.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head. He did not explain, but said: "Since the immortal cultivator surnamed Xiang has shown up, why shouldn't we take the initiative to pay him a visit?"
Miao Qi's eyes lit up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Li, your martial arts realm is now."
"Hehe, one slap should be able to kill two or three internal force masters, um, no problem!" Li Qing showed his white teeth.
Hearing this, Miao Qi's heart trembled fiercely, and then he deeply understood the weight of this sentence!
