Red Cloud Bar

Ling Hong's travelling speed was very quick. Within a few minutes, he had reached the outskirts of the city's center. Being a Qi Refining Realm practitioner gave him a higher stamina than normal people and with his <Wind Walker> movement technique, he was able to travel very quickly.

Earlier, he had researched a bit and found out information about the Azure Dragon gang. After they had grown to a large size and had enough power to go against the police, the Azure Dragon gang no longer operated as a local gang. Their old hideout - Red Cloud Bar, became their permanent businesses base and was not a secret anymore. It was only a bar on the surface, with various illegal activities going on underneath. Ling Hong wondered how the police allowed such vile people to openly walk around. Even if they had some backing, the police should atleast try and fight back.

Initially, he was only planning on crippling the few gang members threatening the orphanage. But as he read through the various news on the internet, he became shocked at how vile they were and all the terror they caused in Yanjing. He decided that it was necessary to kill off this cancer before it grew more.

He stopped at a small alleyway a few blocks away from the bar to disguise himself. He did not want any future troubles hence he opted for a disguise. He started channeling his qi towards his face.

Crackling sounds were heard as his jaw bones were slowly rearranged and his eye turned into a blue shade. If anyone saw his face, they would see a plain-looking young man instead of a teenager like Ling Hong. Checking his appearance on a window, he was quite satisfied. With this, no one would be able to link the upcoming attack to him in the future. If he had the ingredients to prepare for using <Hundred Transformations Mask>, then he could have easily change his entire appearance. But for now, he could only be satisfied with reshaping his jaw bones.

He pulled the hood over his head and walked towards the backside of the bar. As it was only around 10, the nightclub was densely packed and he could not maneuver easily if he entered through normal means. Not to mention that he was here to wreck the gang. After a few minutes, he found an opening on the first floor when someone opened up a window. He spread out his divine sense to check out the building. after some time, upon sensing that there was no presence inside the room, he leapt up and entered the room through the open window.

Once again, he spread out his divine sense to map out the building. He checked for the heavily guarded area this time, as it would be where the owner and important things would be stored. He found that there were over 100 people on the floor above him, which he guessed was the stronghold of the gang.

After finding his destination, he walked out of the room and headed to the staircase leading to the upper floor. However, the staircase was around 10 people patrolling the area. Ling Hong was not the least bothered by them, since they were no more than weak lackeys. Seeing him walk to the staircase, one of the patrolling men ran to him, yelling "Oi, brat. Where do you think you're going? That is the area of the higher ups."

"I know." Ling Hong replied as he threw a punch towards him that sent the guy crashing into the wall.

Crash!

The sound reverberated through the area as the man crashed into the wall. The nearby people heard the noise and quickly set out to find what happened. When they saw Ling Hong standing there casually and someone with their gang attire embedded on the wall, they were surprised. It was not hard to find out what happened. A few of them immediately went forward to attack Ling Hong, while some intelligent ones hesitated. Although Ling Hong was the enemy and had to be taken down, the fact that he had embedded a man into the wall was proof of his strength. If they went head-on against him, it would end badly.

Sure enough, when 4-5 people rushed up with their fists drawn Ling Hong lazily sidestepped each one of their attacks and countered with a punch to their stomachs. In less than a second, everyone was kneeling down in front of him screaming in pain. Ling Hong lifted his head and gazed at the remaining people.

When the rest of them saw this, they were scared and hastily retreated. Even though they felt bad for running away, one's own life was most precious. Ling Hong did not bother chasing down these small fries. Instead, he began walking up the stairs.

Upstairs, a middle-aged man was frowning as he questioned his subordinates about the noise below. He was Qing Long, the boss of the Azure Dragon Gang. A few years back, he had also been just a small character within the gang. But ever since he was approached by 'that' person, his life had suddenly undergone a drastic change. With his help, he had eliminated the previous head of the gang and took control of the gang within a few months.

Although he was always on guard against the person from the beginning, the other side had not taken any actions to threaten Qing Longs' position as boss. He only had to complete a few requests in return for that person's protection. At first, Qing Long was only helping him out for his benefit but later, it became due to fear. This was because once he had seen that person take down the veteran fighters of one of their enemy gangs within a few seconds. Later, when he had found out that all of them had multiple fractures all over their body and that some could not even walk in the future. Since then he became very scared of that person and had become a puppet to him, doing everything so that he would not get on his bad side.

But now, there were screams sounding from below that made him realize that someone was attacking them. Since the day that they had destroyed all other gangs in Yanjing and took their spot as the ruling gang, no one had dared to attack them. He pointed at two people near the door and said "Feng, Cheng go and check the situation below."

The two men that had been pointed out nodded and left as Qing Long searched through his memories guessing who had the guts to directly barge into the headquarters. While he did so, a muffled scream rang out from outside the room. He thought that the two men had captured the intruder.

However, the door was blasted apart the next moment as two bodies crashed into the room. Qing Long's face went pale as he saw that it was the two men who he had sent out earlier. With just a glance, it was clear that both were dead. He somehow fell a chill up his spine knowing that the other party had killed two of his best men within minutes.

Everyone else in the room was also startled at the sudden development and everyone present fell silent. Just then, the sound of footsteps rang out in the quiet room as Ling Hong walked in.
