Chapter 793: The Secret Branch of the Money Gang

Not far from the capital lies a small town, near which is said to be a secret branch of the Money Gang. Many people there possess cultivation levels of the Liberation Realm and the Non-Action Realm. It was recently discovered and captured by the First-Class Hall, and now it has become property of the First-Class Hall, a territory accessible only to its disciples.

When Happy sneaked nearby, he found the situation to be better than expected…

Although it was claimed that this secret branch of the Money Gang had become the exclusive territory of the First-Class Hall, due to the First-Class Hall’s dominance in the north, they didn’t need to deploy many people to defend it.

The town was filled with experts from various gangs, as well as some lone warriors. Most of them came for the spoils of the Money Gang. In the game, the secret branch of the Money Gang had many disciples with remarkable martial skills. Some of them used weapons made of gold, which had the ability to break through defensive barriers, making them highly sought after by martial artists!

Additionally…

It was said that by gathering twelve gold rings, one could assemble a priceless unique weapon called the “Vajra Arm”! The Vajra Arm was a unique product of this place—it not only had astonishing offensive power, on par with mid-tier divine weapons, but could also be used as armor… When blocking attacks, six of the gold rings could reduce damage by 60%, and a successful block with both hands could completely eliminate the damage. However, the martial arts manuals accompanying the Vajra Arm were rare. Only with those manuals could one truly double their combat strength and rank among the top martial artists in the world.

Coincidentally—or perhaps not— the First-Class Hall did not ban the sale of individual gold rings and even seemed to encourage people to assemble them into the divine weapon, the Vajra Arm.

For martial artists, this was an immense temptation, and such opportunities were rare, so it attracted a huge number of people to this place!

Of course, besides the Vajra Arm, the Money Gang had many other things…

Rare among them were Li Xunhuan’s special flying knives. Those assigned to carry out missions for the Money Gang’s leader would each receive one such knife—a consumable divine weapon that never missed its target, capable of breaking through defenses and causing devastating damage.

Happy had been here in his past life and knew some of the peculiarities and secrets of this place. He also knew that the First-Class Hall used the Vajra Arm and Money Darts as bait to lure experts working for the Money Gang’s leader here to carry out missions, so as to obtain the rare “Li Xunhuan’s Flying Knife.” Almost everyone who got hold of it couldn’t escape the First-Class Hall’s surveillance!

But Yipin Tang wouldn’t act directly; instead, it would order its subordinate gang experts to take action in secret, seizing things by force to collect the Little Li Flying Knife.
Unluckily…
The people from Longmen had been stationed in this town by Meng Yun. Their training site was precisely the secret branch of the Jin Qian Bang, inaccessible to those who weren’t Yipin Tang disciples.
Yipin Tang’s agents were extremely cautious. Anyone who came to the town and wore a conical hat to hide their true appearance would surely be secretly watched by them, who would try every means to figure out their identity.
Kai Xin, familiar with Yipin Tang’s tactics, simply put on a human skin mask, pretending to be a lone wanderer in a pitiful state, and entered the town.
In the town, Kai Xin headed straight for the “Ascending to Heaven Tower”!
Located near the capital, the restaurant was named so because it symbolized ascending to heaven, making it the most popular place in the town. Additionally, its fine wine was another reason that attracted martial artists.
But Kai Xin didn’t come here to drink…
Having already consumed several pots of wine from Bai Xiaosheng’s residence, he had no interest in drinking for now.
After sitting down, he sipped slightly while ordering a few dishes, his gaze naturally falling on several tables across from him occupied by reckless-looking experts.
It was obvious to anyone that these were Yipin Tang disciples…
But Kai Xin remembered them and knew their other identity!
Longmen experts.
“What a clever Meng Yun,” Kai Xin sneered inwardly. He hadn’t expected these Longmen experts to have joined Yipin Tang directly. No wonder they were around the capital without drawing attention. It seemed Longmen and Yipin Tang had formed a deeper partnership; otherwise, Meng Yun wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to bring these experts to the capital and arrange such a hidden and excellent training site after providing them with Life and Death Dream Pills.
“…”
Kai Xin lowered his head, picking up peanuts from his plate, then withdrew his gaze and used his spiritual senses to observe those people.
Over thirty Longmen experts occupied five tables by the window. With curtains drawn, their conversations couldn’t be heard, suggesting they were quite cautious.
“Server!”
With a low call, a young waiter rushed up the stairs, carrying a white towel on his shoulder, his face wearing an unusually respectful and enthusiastic smile. “What can I do for you, sir?”
Kai Xin remained silent and took out a silver ingot from his Qiankun Bag, placing it on the table.
The waiter’s eyes immediately lit up, becoming more lively, and his smile grew even more respectful and enthusiastic:
“Please tell me whatever you need, sir.”

The waiter quickly picked up the silver ingots on the table while bowing, actions that immediately drew curious and skeptical glances from many martial artists in the vicinity.
“I have a question for you… If you answer well, there will be a reward.”
Happy spoke in a calm tone; his plain appearance, combined with his unusual actions, gave him a mysterious aura.
“Sir, whatever I know, I will tell you without reservation.” Fifty taels of silver wasn’t much for martial artists, but it was a considerable sum for someone at the bottom of the hierarchy in this game.
The waiter’s respectful attitude and manner of speaking caught the attention of all the martial artists in the restaurant.
After all, in the martial world, while people were eating and drinking, few paid attention to the waiters bustling about the hall, let alone knew they could engage in such interactions. It seemed like hidden tasks or some unknown tricks.
These days, those who mastered such tricks usually fared well in the martial world.
So everyone watching the scene became interested, including the Dragon Gate experts in the private rooms by the window, who noticed what was happening in the second-floor hall and lifted the curtains.
Voices finally came from the private rooms, clearly reaching Happy’s ears:
“In the martial world, although restaurant waiters aren’t prominent, they’re usually well-informed. We never noticed that.”
“That guy is lucky. I just wonder what he wants to ask…”
“It’s worth listening to. I heard someone is working on the mission related to Li Xunhuan. ‘The Little Li Flying Knife’ is an unparalleled skill. If it’s in that person’s hands, it might be worth making an acquaintance.” Happy recognized the speaker as the middle-aged man who had died at his hands outside Yangzhou—“Coach”.
