302 The Divine Power Book of a Thousand Creations

His expression somber, the white-haired old man was the leader of the Blood Poison Gang, Wen Zonghao.

Thank you readers!

“The Broken Axe Gang is a massive organization with over a hundred members and four bone pattern realm experts! Just like that, without any warning?!” Wen Zonghao’s icy voice was commanding as his penetrating gaze swept across the crowd.

“Sect Master, the earthen castle in Pear Alley was burned down. There’s nothing left inside.” A person knelt before Wen Zonghao. “The investigators found no suspicious figures near Pear Alley.”

Wen Zonghao shouted, “Investigate this matter! Find me the list of people who hold a grudge against the Broken Axe Gang! If we don’t eliminate this person, how can our Blood Poison Gang maintain its position in the outer city?”

Thump, thump, thump…

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a walking stick entered the room.

“Godfather, I’ve found the list of people who have a grudge against the Broken Axe Gang for you.” The man, Mou Jinfu, the foster son of Wen Zonghao, revealed a sycophantic smile.

As he spoke, Mou Jinfu placed a thick stack of paper on the table. “These people all hold a grudge against the Broken Axe Gang and are at the great blood refinement or above,” he said respectfully.

Wen Zonghao raised his eyebrows as he looked at the lengthy list of names. There were at least two hundred names. He didn’t expect the newly-incorporated Broken Axe Gang to have so many enemies.

“Check them one by one!” Wen Zonghao’s voice was firm. “You must find the mastermind behind this!”

…

“Have you heard? The Broken Axe Gang was massacred!” a guest in the inn exclaimed. “Not a single person was left alive.”

As Qin Huai ate his breakfast, he listened to the excited chatter of the guests sharing the table with him.

“This is really satisfying! That black-hearted Broken Axe Gang should have died long ago!” One customer gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.

“Shh. Be careful not to let the Blood Poison Gang hear you,” another warned.

“Yes, yes. If I were to meet that Qing Tian, Lord of the Tu Gang, I would kowtow to him.”

Qin Huai shook his head.

“But I heard the Blood Poison Gang is investigating those who had a grudge against the Broken Axe Gang. I’ve had a few conflicts with them before. I wonder if that counts,” the customer opposite Qin Huai worried.

“What are you afraid of? At least a thousand people have a feud with the Broken Axe Gang! It might take them ages to find out about you.”

Qin Huai was deep in thought when he heard this.

Suddenly, a familiar figure hurried into the inn. It was Tong Maosheng from Tong Treasure Shop.

“Teacher, my father and grandfather would like to invite you to the shop for a chat!” Tong Maosheng, still appearing like an old man, approached Qin Huai.

“It’s a great opportunity,” he replied.

“Then I’d like to see what this great opportunity is.” Qin Huai stood up and followed Tong Maosheng to Tong Treasure Shop once more.

The person he was meeting was the shopkeeper and the current head of the Tong family, Old Master Tong.

“Young man, didn’t you want to learn the Tong family’s treasured forging technique? I can let you learn…” Old Master Tong said slowly.

“Then what does Old Master Tong want me to do?” Qin Huai asked with a smile, already having some guesses in his mind.

“With the Broken Axe Gang gone, it’s certainly a good thing. But the Blood Poison Gang is pursuing us relentlessly… As one of the four major gangs in the outer city, they are more ruthless and arrogant than the Broken Axe Gang.” Old Master Tong sighed. “If things go wrong, our lives might be in danger.”

“Then why didn’t Old Master Tong leave?” Qin Huai asked.

“The Tong family’s roots are here,” Old Master Tong responded firmly. “I’ll teach you the Tong family’s legacy treasured forging technique, and you’ll do your part to protect the Tong family.” He looked into Qin Huai’s eyes.

“I’m afraid that a mere bone pattern realm expert like me isn’t enough to fight against the Blood Poison Gang, right?” Qin Huai asked.

“It’s fine. The Blood Poison Gang isn’t the only one… The other three sects will secretly cause trouble. We have also secretly contacted other people who hold a grudge against the Broken Axe Gang in order to deal with their possible indiscriminate revenge.”

Qin Huai frowned slightly, not expecting the Blood Poison Gang to act in such a way. If they couldn’t find them, they could kill all the people the Broken Axe Gang had bullied before? Extremely cruel and unreasonable…

“No problem,” Qin Huai agreed readily. He had no intention of leaving Qingzhou City anyway.

Moreover, many witnesses had seen him in conflict with the Broken Axe Gang in front of the shop. Sooner or later, it would be traced back to him. Also, the truth about the great demon had yet to come to light, so he couldn’t enter.

Instead of waiting, he might as well become an apprentice at Tong Treasure Shop. In any case, he wouldn’t suffer any losses and would gain a lot.

Old Master Tong immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Then from today onwards, you are considered an in-name disciple of the Tong family!” He began sizing up Qin Huai.

He suddenly said, “I saw the spear on your back. You must have forged it yourself, right?”

“Oh? How did Master Tong know?” Qin Huai was surprised but didn’t deny it.

“Hehe. I can see that the energy of this spear is quite similar to yours. If it wasn’t for the fact that you personally created this connection, it wouldn’t exist.”

Qin Huai smiled and shook his head, knowing that this was the mysterious intuition of a senior artifact master. It was impossible to explain or learn how they did it.

“Come! I’ll teach you the Tong family’s treasured forging technique now. It’s also the Tong family’s cultivation method, the ‘divine power book of a thousand creations’! By cultivating this technique, you can harmonize with the power of nature and even forge in the direction of the desired force. It’s truly incredible!”
