Top-Tier Superpower Student

"Lin Tian is full of tricks; he absolutely must not be underestimated," Zuo Yunfei kindly warned.

"Underestimate, underestimate your ass!"

A man, cursing and fuming, stood up and yelled, "Alliance Hierarch, my spies say that currently, both Fairy Zixia of the Tianxia Alliance and the third Elder, Duke Chu, are in Lingyue Town, and that Lin Tian must be there too. I'll take some men and wipe him out."

This man's name was Zhou Haotian, a war general only second to the King of Chu in rank. In terms of strength, he was third in the Qinglong Gang.

In the Qinglong Gang, Zhou Haotian only admired two people: one was the Gang Leader Dongfang Kun, and the other was the King of Chu. The reason he admired both was simple.

They were stronger than him.

He and the King of Chu were alike: both physically strong with simple minds, they handled things without thinking and relied solely on their fists to solve problems. What they detested most were those strategists and scholars.

Upon hearing what Zhou Haotian said, Zuo Yunfei immediately objected, "Blindly attacking Lingyue Town is definitely not advisable; it is the main stronghold of the Tianxia Alliance. Ordinarily, only Marquis Ouyang can freely come and go. Even I, as the second Elder of the Tianxia Alliance, have never been to Lingyue Town. I guess that Marquis Ouyang must have left some measures in place. If we want to attack Lingyue Town, we must be very clear about the situation inside!"

"Damn it!"

Zhou Haotian cursed and slapped Zuo Yunfei across the face.

Zuo Yunfei fell to the ground, furious, but still he held his breath and stood up indignantly.

In the Tianxia Alliance, he was the second in command, but here, he was merely someone who had sought refuge, not holding a high position. Under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head!

Zhou Haotian pointed at Zuo Yunfei's nose, "Damn it, who do you think you are, nothing but a stray dog, yet you dare to make gestures here. Do you believe that I will throw you out to feed the dogs right now? If it weren't for us taking you in, you would be less than nothing; shut your mouth."

Unable to resolve his anger and filled with shame, Zuo Yunfei's face turned beet red, but ultimately, he dared not to speak back.

"Haotian!"

The Gang Leader spoke up, stopping Zhou Haotian, telling him not to continue.

Another Elder stood out and said, "Gang Leader, Lin Tian must have a secret reason for his actions. Lingyue Town, as the main stronghold of the Tianxia Alliance, may have its tricks, but we must avenge today's humiliation. If we don't, what will other gangs think of the Qinglong Gang? However, to ensure nothing goes wrong, we hope that you, Gang Leader, will personally take action!"

His suggestion received unanimous agreement from everyone, and they all nodded in response.

Zuo Yunfei knew Marquis Ouyang, and he didn't believe that Marquis Ouyang wouldn't have any trump cards up his sleeve.

Suppressing his anger, he shamelessly stood up again to advise, "Gang Leader, please reconsider. There is definitely a secret within Lingyue Town. I recommend that we first gradually take over the Tianxia Alliance's territories before attacking Lingyue Town."

"Damn it!"

Zhou Haotian stood up again and slapped Zuo Yunfei once more.

"Didn't I tell you, you're just a stray dog, not fit to be giving orders here; shut your mouth."

"Even if Lingyue Town has secrets, so what? They've only got Marquis Ouyang, who was at the Half-Step Fusion Realm, and now he's dead. We have the Gang Leader; could we still be afraid of them?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In a showdown between powers, a strong individual plays a crucial role, potentially reversing the situation.

Take Lin Tian for example. At that time, when Zuo Yunfei besieged Zixia Club, Lin Tian, alone, defeated their thousand men. That's what it means to reverse the situation.

Tianxia Alliance could become the second largest force in all of Huaxia because Marquis Ouyang was seated there.

Qinglong Gang, in terms of gang members and territory, is more than three times the size of Tianxia Alliance, yet they have not been able to swallow up Tianxia Alliance because there is Marquis Ouyang, this formidable personage, to hold the fort.

A single supreme warrior, even just one person, is enough to protect a faction.

Zuo Yunfei was slapped in the face again. In his heart, this injustice—he was truly well-intentioned, but still met with punches and kicks from others. This must be the fate of those who surrender and are not seen as human by others!

As the Alliance Hierarch, Dongfang Kun certainly had his skills. He had to consider both the face of the Qinglong Gang and what Zuo Yunfei had said.

He needed to think long and hard, take care of the bigger picture, and then, make a final decision.

He closed his eyes in solitary contemplation, with the people below not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disrupting Dongfang Kun's train of thought.

After five minutes, Dongfang Kun opened his eyes, and the others were all shaken at once, immediately perking up by tenfold.

"My Qinglong Gang is the number one gang in Huaxia. King of Chu is my trusted and favorite general, who has established formidable merits for me. Wolong Bay is our Qinglong Gang's purse, of paramount importance to us," Dongfang Kun declared.

"Our Qinglong Gang could become the number one gang in Huaxia on the basis of one word: 'ruthlessness.' We always avenge our grudges. Since they've provoked us, we must make them pay tenfold," he continued.

Everyone heard it; Dongfang Kun was declaring war.

"Tonight, treat the brothers to good food and wine. Tomorrow morning, we attack Lingyue Town!"

As soon as his words were out, Zuo Yunfei wore a look of helplessness. Some core members of the Qinglong Gang were excited, while others felt it was a bit too risky. After all, Zuo Yunfei's words made sense!

Then, Dongfang Kun continued, "Tomorrow, I will personally lead the way. I will press the rear army. Zhou Haotian, you take the central army. Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai, you two, with your strongest subordinates, will take the vanguard and attack Lingyue Town first!"

After he finished, he laughed proudly. The rest of the gang members, upon hearing this, silently gave Dongfang Kun a thumbs-up.

Worthy of being a Gang Leader, his tactics are indeed superior!

But what about Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai? They felt like crying. They suddenly felt that coming to side with the Qinglong Gang was a mistake. It was doubtful that they could ever become the leaders of the Tianxia Alliance; just staying alive was already a stroke of extreme luck.

What Dongfang Kun did, bluntly put, was to use Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai as cannon fodder.

Using them to scout ahead.

If there were any traps in Lingyue Town, then Liang Sihai and Zuo Yunfei's deaths would be insignificant. After all, they're not Qinglong Gang's people. Their death would be a relief.

If they didn't die, Zhou Haotian and Dongfang Kun would follow up.

How safe, how secure that would be.

No one wants to be cannon fodder. Zuo Yunfei's face was morose; he wanted to stand up and plead with Dongfang Kun to spare him, but after thinking about it, he felt it was impossible, and he would probably get beaten up again for his trouble.

"Alright, Gang Leader, let's do that!"

The others were very happy and nodded in agreement.

Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai turned their heads at the same time, locking eyes, all wearing glum expressions as if they were saying.

Oh brother, why is our life so hard!
