C311 Difficult Choices
I smiled and followed slowly.
In the next two days, Metal River's four strongholds in the cities consolidated their authority and sealed off all transactions with the Qing Gang.
Right now, Qing Gang was like a lone army that was surrounded by thousands of men and horses. There was neither reinforcements nor food for them.
Not to mention two days, even if it was half a day, it would still have a huge impact on Qing Gang.
From my intelligence, I found out that the Qing Gang had been in a state of panic for the past few days, and quite a few Qing Gang Elders tried to persuade Pann Jian to surrender.
Pann Jian flew into a rage and immediately made an example out of everyone. With the lives of two Elders as the price, no one dared to bring it up again.
However, Pann Jian's actions were clearly a mess. The Qing Gang did not dare to say anything.
It was only the third day, but there were already a few Qing Gang Elders who claimed that they had been disheartened by Pann Jian's actions. They brought their subordinates, as well as their territories, and turned their backs on Metal River.
Pann Jian was even more furious at this, but he could do nothing about it. He did not dare to act against the Green Gang's Elder, who had already pledged his allegiance to the Metal River, or else it would not be long before the Green Gang will be completely annihilated under my order.
Playing with relationships, playing with power, scheming and Pann Jian lost all of them.
However, even though the situation was so terrible for the Qing Gang, Pann Jian refused to admit defeat.
I'm not in a hurry at all, I just want to submit to others without fighting. I'll slowly use this kind of waiting and waiting method to wear down Pann Jian's temper.
After all, if the Qing Gang was hysterical, once they directly confronted the Metal River, the impact would be extremely great, and the entire Pearl City would sink into extreme panic.
At my current level, it's no longer a battle between hooligans. More of it is a game between the two sides.
Of course, I was very clear that Pann Jian didn't dare to fight me head on because if he did that, he would definitely die without a burial ground. In such a big country like China, it would be strange if he didn't drag it out with him.
Moreover, if Pann Jian were to do this, then he would definitely be working hard and wouldn't be pleased. Not only did he not get any benefits, he had also lost his life, so it would be better for him to surrender his Metal River and protect the existence of the Qing Gang.
The reason why Pann Jian wasn't willing to surrender is because he was unable to show his face, and the second reason was because he was afraid that I would take revenge.
If Qing Gang surrendered to Metal River, it would be very easy for me to kill Pann Jian. How could Pann Jian, this sly old fox, not understand this logic?
Thus, I spread the news that there was Earthly RankingExpert in my Metal River, intentionally spreading it out, including Ning Hsing, this half step peak Earth Board expert who had advanced to the twelfth level of the Earth Board.
On the same day that the news was spread, the Qing Gang was in an uproar again. When Earthly RankingExpert, who was in charge of the Qing Gang, heard about Earth Board 12, she immediately left Qing Gang, not wanting to cause trouble. If she didn't leave, she relied on Metal River instead.
At the end, there were a total of three Earthly RankingExpert's who entered my Metal River. They even used the Qing Gang's internal intelligence to prove that the Qing Gang was indeed connected to the existence of the Heaven Sect to express their loyalty.
All of a sudden, the Qing Gang became a mess. The important members of the upper echelons and Earthly RankingExpert all left, leaving only Pann Jian in charge of the overall situation.
However, Pann Jian was alone. Without the assistance of others, how could he control the entire situation?
More and more people chose to leave Qing Gang and surrender to Metal River, causing the territory of Qing Gang to become fewer and fewer. The area of influence became smaller and smaller, and it was constantly being crushed by Metal River.
During this process, Lee Qi unexpectedly didn't come knocking on my door. Every time he sees me, not only did he not get angry, he even threw me a cold smile.
At that time, my heart thumped. If I guessed correctly, Lee Qi was going to use his last trump card to threaten me.
If so, I would be in a dilemma.
Thus, while I was consuming the Qing Gang, I would occasionally head over to Ye Zhan's place by myself to check on the Pill's condition. The results, however, left me disappointed.
Ye Zhan had tried many times to refine it using many poisons, but he was still unable to surpass the toxicity of the Poison Blood Qi-Dissolving Pill.
Ye Zhan also told me that Poison Blood Qi-Dissolving Pill are extremely toxic and that after testing, it is impossible to surpass it when ordinary poisons are mixed together. The only way to achieve this is to find the person who raises the Gu in Miao Yu and the one in ten thousand king of the Gu poison.
But it is merely possible.1
Now that time is pressing, how can I find a person to raise a Gu?
Furthermore, even an outsider like me has more or less heard of the matter of nurturing a Gu. The King of Venom is one in a million, and the entire Miao Jiang can be counted on one hand.
Even if they managed to find the king of the poison Gu, they might not be able to succeed. There was almost no hope in this matter.
When I returned to the hotel, I was alone in the living room. I lowered my head and rubbed my temples as if my mind was about to explode.
Nervousness, worry, helplessness, guilt, and all sorts of complicated emotions surged within his heart.
After smoking heavily, I thought for a while. If I'm not wrong, Lee Qi has the antidote to save Second Master. I can't just stand by and watch him die.
Second Master gave so much for me, how can I watch him die because of the love between children?
I can't, I really can't.
However, I can't bear to part with Ning Hsing.
While I was hesitating, Ning Hsing suddenly knocked on the door.
I calmed my emotions and didn't reveal any complex emotions as I slowly opened the door. I forcefully smiled and said, "They're here."
When Ye Zhan was refining the antidote, I went there alone. I didn't dare to bring Ning Hsing along as I was afraid that she would do something unexpected when she was in a hurry.
However, as soon as she entered the room, Ning Hsing asked, "How is Ye Zhan? Has the Pill been refined? "
"Soon, soon." I led Ning Hsing into the room, trying not to show any sign of anxiety.
Sitting down, I gave Ning Hsing a deep look. My heart was filled with fights, but finally, I gritted my teeth and said, "Ning Hsing, maybe it's time to give you an explanation."
"What do you mean? I... I don't understand. " Ning Hsing's face immediately turned red.
"I said, I want to give you an explanation, a perfect explanation." I lowered my head silently and finally made a decision. Second Master's life must not be delayed, so I decided to put aside the personal feelings between our children.
"Then how are you going to explain it?" Ning Hsing's face turned even redder, as if it was different from what I had expected.
I raised my head and looked at Ning Hsing again, imprinting her face into my memory. I immediately got up and smiled. "Very soon, you will know."
After saying that, I directly rushed out of the door. I didn't plan to let Lee Qi find me, so I decided to personally find Lee Qi and tell him about this matter!
If Lee Qi really has the antidote, I'm willing to give up on Ning Hsing, clarify all the facts, and dispel Ning Mansion Grandson-in-law's misunderstanding.
I can't just watch Second Master die... Even if Ning Hsing resents me and hates me!
"..."
Words of the author: Don't worry, the plot is just necessary. The final opportunity, Ning Hsing and Lee Shaobai, will be together soon!
