Death Grip
Hearing the sound, everyone woke up in a panic, hurriedly getting out of bed to wash up, then coming outside with nervous and excited expressions, looking into the distance. The legendary Qingyun Gang Leader, Yun Qing, was about to appear, and they were actually going to have the chance to meet such a renowned figure; their excitement was beyond imagination.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Golden Dragon robe, exuding an air of authority and dominance, appeared before them. This man was Yun Qing, the leader of the Azure Cloud Gang.
"Not bad, not bad. The qualifications of those recruited into the gang this time are quite good," Yun Qing said as he looked at the crowd before him, slowly nodding in approval while casting a glance at Lin Luo, who stood beside him with a respectful expression.
Upon hearing Yun Qing's words, the Young Men and Women felt their faces flush with excitement. It was an immense honor and pride to receive praise from the leader of the Azure Cloud Gang. They were all overjoyed, except for a youth named Xing Chen, who remained indifferent and cold-faced, showing no reaction whatsoever.
At that moment, Lin Luo pointed in the direction of the crowd and whispered something into Yun Qing's ear. Suddenly, Yun Qing's eyes lit up as he turned his gaze toward them. His piercing look made everyone avert their eyes, not daring to meet his gaze. Only Xing Chen maintained his steady gaze on Yun Qing, their eyes locking together. Seeing this, the joy in Yun Qing's eyes intensified as he stepped forward toward the crowd, quickly arriving in front of Xing Chen.
"Are you called Xing Chen?" Yun Qing asked, his sharp gaze fixed on Xing Chen. An aura of authority emanated from him, causing Xing Chen to involuntarily tremble slightly. However, he stubbornly lifted his head and met Yun Qing's gaze, replying firmly, "Yes!"
"Good, good—at just seventeen years old you've already reached Body Refinement Level Eight. Your talent is indeed impressive," Yun Qing nodded in acknowledgment, repeating "good" twice. Then he looked at Xing Chen again and said, "From now on, I will be your master, and you will be my Closed-Door Disciple." There was an undeniable authority in Yun Qing's calm words that left others envious and jealous as they looked at Xing Chen.
This kid really struck it lucky; he was actually valued by Yun Qing, the Leader of the Qingyun Gang, as a Closed-Door Disciple. Everyone thought to themselves.
"Leader, I refuse to accept this! I am also at Body Refinement Level Eight, also seventeen years old; why do you only choose him and not me?" Before Xing Chen could speak, a bold Rascal jumped out from the crowd and shouted loudly.
"How dare you! How can you question the leader's words? Kneel down and apologize immediately; pray for the leader's forgiveness!" Lin Luo's expression changed as he sternly shouted. This reckless youth should know better than to seek death at such a moment; wasn't it obvious that he would drag himself into trouble?
"I refuse to accept it! I am no weaker than him; why does the leader only choose him?" The young man stood his ground defiantly against Lin Luo.
"You fool! You dare question the leader? I will kill you right now!" A murderous intent flashed in Lin Luo's eyes as he unleashed a powerful palm strike filled with strong Vital Energy toward the boy's head. The boy's face showed signs of fear.
"Forget it, seeing that he has some courage, there's no need to send him to another hall or branch. Just let him stay here to serve Xing Chen," Yun Qing said lightly, waving his hand as he saw the young man about to lose his life at the hands of Lin Luo.
"Hmph, hurry up and thank the leader for sparing your life," Lin Luo coldly snorted at the young man, glaring at him.
"Ro... Luo Tong thanks the leader for sparing my life," the young man Luo Tong knelt on the ground, filled with grievance and fear.
"Well? You still haven't answered me," Yun Qing said without even looking at the kneeling Luo Tong, instead focusing on Xing Chen in front of him.
"Master, please allow me to bow before you," Xing Chen knelt on one knee, his expression still indifferent, but Yun Qing couldn't help but smile at this situation.
"Good, good— from now on you are my disciple, Yun Qing. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay here for long. Lin Luo, go arrange things for Chen Er," Yun Qing helped Xing Chen up and nodded repeatedly, clearly excited.
"Farewell, Leader!"
"Farewell, Leader—"
As Yun Qing left, Lin Luo and the others shouted in unison. The kneeling Luo Tong also stood up at this moment, but a fleeting glimmer of deeply hidden resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, you all wait here for the people from other halls and branches to come and take their people," Lin Luo turned to look at everyone and then approached Xing Chen, speaking somewhat respectfully: "Young Master Chen, please follow me. I will take you to your residence."
Seeing Lin Luo's respectful demeanor, Xing Chen was slightly surprised but soon understood; after all, he was now Yun Qing's Closed-Door Disciple, so it was only natural for Lin Luo to show him some respect.
"You too, come along. From now on, you will serve Young Master Chen. If there is anything that displeases Young Master Chen, don't blame the rules for being merciless," Lin Luo turned and coldly said to the side Luo Tong.
"Young Master Chen, this will be your residence from now on. If you need anything, just let the maids and servants outside know," Lin Luo said with a smile as he brought Xing Chen to a luxurious mansion.
Xing Chen nodded lightly. The Azure Cloud Gang truly lived up to its reputation as the top gang; this place was probably not inferior to the palace, Xing Chen thought to himself.
"Young Master Chen, since we have some free time now, let me introduce you to some of the rules and other matters of the gang!" Lin Luo said while showing Xing Chen around the mansion. "As for the strength of our Azure Cloud Gang, I don't need to elaborate much. I'll explain it more specifically to you, Young Master Chen!"
"The Azure Cloud Gang has Three Halls and Nine Branches. Each hall has one Hall Master and two Vice Hall Masters in charge. To become a Hall Master, one must at least be at the Yang Spirit Realm. Each branch also has one Helmsman and two Vice Leaders, and to become a Helmsman, one must reach at least the Soul Refinement Realm."
"On the surface, our Azure Cloud Gang has nine strong individuals at the Yang Spirit Realm and twenty-seven at the Soul Refinement Realm. Of course, this does not include the gang leader; I won't speculate on the leader's strength here—it's better for you to ask Young Master Chen personally!"
"Besides these individuals, there is also another Closed-Door Disciple of the leader, Qin Ying, who has also reached the Soul Refinement Realm. However, this is not all of our Azure Cloud Gang's strength; secretly we have a team of elite disciples. These individuals are our strongest trump card, and the minimum requirement to become an elite disciple is to reach the Soul Refinement Realm..."
"I understand." After half an hour of Lin Luo's chatter, Xing Chen finally interrupted him out of impatience as Lin Luo was about to continue. Lin Luo smiled awkwardly at Xing Chen after being interrupted.
"I want to know where we can learn our gang's Cultivation Method secrets and Martial Arts." Although Xing Chen had reached Body Refinement Level Eight, he had never learned any powerful Martial Arts; in terms of actual combat power, he was quite weak.
"Our Azure Cloud Gang has a Martial Arts Pavilion," Lin Luo hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "However, Young Master Chen, you don't need to worry about Martial Arts; when the leader returns, he will personally teach you."
"Alright, you can leave now; I need to cultivate," Xing Chen nodded and waved his hand at Lin Luo as he walked into the room.
...
In his room, Xing Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, absorbing strands of white gas into his body, refining his flesh. After a while, Xing Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Body Refinement, refining the soul, Yang Po..." Xing Chen murmured with flickering eyes. "At this rate, it will probably take at least ten years to reach Yang Spirit Realm! But... how can I wait that long?" Xing Chen clenched his fists tightly; veins bulged on his forehead as a fierce expression appeared on his face.
"Hu—" After a while, Xing Chen let out a sigh, and his previously agitated emotions gradually calmed down. He continued to cultivate, drawing strands of Vital Energy into his body, and his Body Refinement Level Eight cultivation was slowly increasing. Although this growth was almost imperceptible, he was still in a state of gradual ascent.
Outside the room, Luo Tong was looking at Xing Chen with a face full of resentment. He bit his lip tightly, his body slightly trembling with anger and hatred. "Damn it! Damn Xing Chen! It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would have become the Closed-Door Disciple of the gang leader by now. The humiliation you brought me today, I will definitely repay it!"
Luo Tong was filled with resentment, but he did not dare to blame Yun Qing and could only vent his anger on Xing Chen.
...
Early in the morning, Xing Chen was notified to come to Yun Qing's place. Besides Yun Qing, there was also a young man in his twenties standing respectfully in front of him.
"Chen Er, you’re here. Let me introduce you; this is your senior brother Qin Ying, who is now a strong practitioner in the Soul Refinement Realm," Yun Qing said with a slight smile as he introduced Xing Chen.
"Master, Senior Brother." Xing Chen cupped his fists to both of them and then fell silent.
"Junior Brother," Qin Ying nodded with a smile. Yun Qing had informed him that he had taken in another Closed-Door Disciple, so Qin Ying was not surprised at all.
"Chen Er, Eagle, I called you here this time to teach you my unique skills. I will demonstrate them first; you both need to watch closely and comprehend thoroughly," Yun Qing said as he slowly stood up. At the same time, a powerful aura spread out over hundreds of meters, causing Qin Ying and Xing Chen to look at Yun Qing in shock. However, more than shock, their eyes were filled with excitement. After all, Yun Qing was the leader of the Azure Cloud Gang; his unique skills would surely be formidable. Having him personally demonstrate them would greatly benefit their future cultivation.
