I Grind to Martial Saint

This time, Han Yuan was extremely ostentatious.

He led a hundred members of the Black Death Guard, rampaging through the streets with a menacing aura, looking as if they were on their way to annihilate a whole family.

"Isn’t that the Overseas Dragon? Why is he out with so many men?"

"I don’t know. Doesn’t he have a grudge against the Bai Family? Could he be planning to raid them?"

"No way... The Bai Family has three True Qi Martial Artists. They could swat him dead with a flick of their hand."

"Why guess so much? Let’s just follow them and see."

A group of meddlesome people from the Martial World began to follow the Black Death Guard.

Han Yuan noticed them but didn’t stop them, letting these Martial World Wanderers follow along.

After all, Du Qiuxu had given the order: be as flamboyant as possible. Naturally, the more people watching, the better.

Before long, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered behind the Black Death Guard.

Some of the ones with good Lightweight Skills even leaped onto the rooftops on either side to keep up.

As Han Yuan passed through several main streets, his destination was gradually figured out.

"Isn’t that Cangshui Pier up ahead?"

"Han Yuan’s taking so many men there. Could he be planning to arrest someone at the pier?"

"Looks more like he’s going there to make a scene."

The crowd’s speculation was endless.

Soon, Han Yuan and the Black Death Guard arrived before a pier.

Cangshui Pier was the largest pier in the County Town. Countless merchant and passenger ships passed through daily, and the goods being moved were piled up like mountains.

Especially after Sheep Head Mountain was occupied by the Wuyun Bandits, cutting off a vital trade route, business at the pier had multiplied.

Han Yuan glanced over and saw densely packed merchant ships docked at the pier. Many dark-skinned, powerfully built dockworkers and laborers were busy moving cargo.

Meanwhile, some men in red were shouting loudly, forcing the dockworkers and laborers to move faster.

When Han Yuan appeared at the pier, he quickly alerted the members of the Blood River Gang.

Inside a warehouse.

Hall Master Bai Wei was playing mahjong with some men.

The Blood River Gang had four Hall Masters in total, who took turns standing guard at the pier.

Today was Bai Wei’s turn.

Just then, a gang underling burst in, his face fraught with panic.

"Hall Master!"

"That Overseas Dragon has brought his men to the pier!"

Hearing this, Bai Wei’s expression changed drastically.

He looked at the underling and bellowed, "Who did you say is here?!"

"Han Yuan!"

"It’s that Overseas Dragon, Han Yuan!"

The underling shouted.

"Damn it!"

Hearing this, Bai Wei’s hands began to tremble.

In Cangshui County Town today, who didn’t know of the Overseas Dragon’s fearsome reputation?

Don’t be fooled by Bai Wei’s tyrannical behavior at the pier.

In front of a ruthless man like Han Yuan, he didn’t have a shred of courage.

The man dared to provoke even the Bai Family; naturally, he wouldn’t be afraid of a mere Hall Master from the Blood River Gang.

’No...’

’Going out there is suicide.’

’A ruthless man like Han Yuan, coming here so openly... he’s definitely here to kill people.’

’I can’t show my face.’

Bai Wei was an old hand in the Martial World.

The older you get in the Martial World, the more cowardly you become.

Even though he was an Inner Breath Martial Artist, Han Yuan had defeated the top senior disciple of the Divine Fist Sect.

His level of strength was nothing in comparison.

So, he said to the underling, "Quickly, take this news back to the gang’s headquarters and inform the Gang Leader!"

"Yes!" The underling accepted the order and left.

Bai Wei also took a few of his trusted subordinates and slipped out the back door of the warehouse.

Cangshui Pier was in chaos.

The dockworkers and laborers, terrified by the intimidating formation led by Han Yuan, were fleeing in a frenzy.

Han Yuan paid the laborers no mind, simply ordering a few members of the Black Death Guard to grab a foreman.

"Why hasn’t the person in charge of your Blood River Gang shown up?"

Han Yuan glanced at the foreman.

The moment Han Yuan’s gaze fell on him, the foreman’s legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees in terror.

"Lord... I really don’t know."

"I only know that Hall Master Bai is on duty today. He should be in the warehouse playing cards right now."

Han Yuan said coldly, "Lead the way!"

Hearing this, the foreman scrambled to his feet and led Han Yuan toward the warehouse.

But when they got to the warehouse, it was empty.

"Are you messing with me?"

Han Yuan’s gaze sharpened.

"My lord~!"

"How would I dare mess with you?"

"I don’t know where Hall Master Bai went either."

The foreman, his face pale with fright, knelt and begged for mercy.

Han Yuan looked at the foreman’s expression and figured he probably wasn’t lying.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

The Hall Master had fled.

’Am I that scary now?’

’He doesn’t even dare to see me?’

Han Yuan muttered to himself inwardly.

He couldn’t be bothered to deal with a mere foreman, so he walked out of the warehouse and decided to wait.

He refused to believe that not a single person from the Blood River Gang would show up!

...

「Blood River Gang Headquarters.」

When Gang Leader Miao Yan heard his subordinate’s report, his expression changed abruptly.

"That Overseas Dragon actually went to the pier?!"

His subordinate said in a low voice, "That’s right... The pier is in complete chaos right now."

Miao Yan frowned. "Isn’t Bai Wei on duty today? How is he handling this Overseas Dragon?!"

The subordinate looked troubled.

Miao Yan barked, "Speak!"

"Gang Leader... Hall Master Bai never appeared... We don’t know where he went."

The subordinate said cautiously.

"That spineless coward!"

Miao Yan slammed his hand on the table.

BANG!

The table instantly exploded into pieces.

"Relay my orders! Everyone at the headquarters is to evacuate."

"We can’t afford to provoke this Overseas Dragon... We’re leaving first."

Miao Yan said decisively after smashing the table.

The subordinate had originally thought Miao Yan would lead his men to the pier.

He never expected that, just like Bai Wei, he would choose to run.

"Hurry up and go!"

Miao Yan shot him a glare.

The subordinate quickly left the hall to make the arrangements.

’No... I need to pack my things too.’

’I’ll flee to the Cui Family first.’

After a moment’s thought, Miao Yan briskly walked to his room, packed his valuables, and left immediately.

...

「Cangshui Pier.」

Han Yuan waited for a full hour, but not a single person from the Blood River Gang appeared.

’What the hell are these guys playing at...?’

Even Han Yuan was speechless.

Could it be that everyone in the Blood River Gang was a spineless coward?

He called over Chen Fei and had him arrange for two men to go to the Blood River Gang’s headquarters to scout out the situation.

Before long, Han Yuan received news that the Blood River Gang’s headquarters was completely deserted.

"Fuck!"

’I messed up!’

’I should’ve gone straight to the Blood River Gang’s stronghold.’

Han Yuan was filled with regret.

He hadn’t expected that after coming over so openly to make a scene...

...the guys from the Blood River Gang would just up and run.

"Lord Han... what should we do next?"

Chen Fei himself was also at a loss.

Before they set out, Du Qiuxu had secretly instructed him.

The original plan was to come to Cangshui Pier and start a massacre.

He never imagined that not a single important figure from the Blood River Gang would show up.

Killing a few grunts would be pointless.

"Let me think."

This was the first time Han Yuan had encountered such a situation. After pondering for a moment, he said, "First, take some men and raid the Blood River Gang’s headquarters."

"As for the pier, round up these underlings for now and have the people from the Government Office take them away."

Chen Fei nodded. "I’ll see to it at once."
