Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 638 - 610 Wolong Bay

With a cup of wine down his throat, the wine cup hitting the ground, a hero of his time, Marquis Ouyang, left the mortal world.

He sat calmly on the chair with a smile on his lips; even in death, he still bore the majesty of a king.

He had regrets; Qinglong Gang committed atrocities, and he could not take his revenge—this was one of them.

He had no children of his own, Fairy Zixia was his adopted daughter; he had hoped to see Fairy Zixia get married, have children, but in the end, he was unable to fulfill this wish.

His life, short and spectacular, was filled with blood and sorrow; he enjoyed the glory few others did, yet he envied the ordinary life of commoners.

So he departed, with only Fairy Zixia, Duke Chu, and Lin Tian by his side in the end—perhaps this, too, was a kind of sadness.

Fairy Zixia was silent, staring at her father, unable to hold back her tears.

Her only relative had left her, and she was in immense pain, truly immense pain.

"The departed has passed on, and the living must go on!"

Lin Tian advised, "Let's hurry to Lingyue Town. Now that the Alliance Hierarch is dead, there's much work waiting for us to do!"

"Right!" Fairy Zixia said with teary eyes, nodding, "My father worked hard to establish the Tianxia Alliance; I must safeguard the legacy of the Alliance."

Duke Chu carried the body of Marquis Ouyang, and Lin Tian found a bus to drive them to Lingyue Town.

Lingyue Town wasn't large; the residents were all associated with the Tianxia Alliance.

Some were family members of the Alliance, others were injured members who had gotten hurt, and there were also retired key members who lived there, free of material concerns, enjoying the benefits they deserved.

The defense of Lingyue Town was extremely tight, with thirty-six Condensing Mirror experts; the people of Lingyue Town rarely communicated with the outside world, and there were two Condensing Mirror experts at the town's entrance controlling the strict access of personnel.

Lin Tian drove up to the gates of Lingyue Town, where two Condensing Mirror experts stopped him.

"Who goes there? State your name!" shouted one of the Condensing Mirror experts.

Fairy Zixia stepped out of the vehicle, taking out the Great Seal of the Tianxia Alliance, and declared, "I am Fairy Zixia, and I am now your Alliance Hierarch!"

Marquis Ouyang had already informed them of this matter.

"Alliance Hierarch!" The two Condensing Mirror experts knelt in unison, then with teary eyes, looked up and asked, "Then the old Alliance Hierarch…?"

"He's in the vehicle. I want to give the old Alliance Hierarch a grand funeral. Notify the brothers to come out and see the old Alliance Hierarch off on his last journey!" she said.

"Yes!" Both of them nodded in agreement, their voices thick with tears.

The coffin had been prepared ahead of time; it was carved with nine green dragons, truly high-end and dignified.

There were over a thousand people in Lingyue Town; except for those who were bedridden with serious illnesses, everyone came out to bid farewell to Marquis Ouyang—from seventy-year-old elders to four- or five-year-old children, whether iron-blooded men or women and children, all shed tears, weeping bitterly!

They had profound affection for Marquis Ouyang; now that he was gone, everyone felt as if they had lost a family member, with hearts aching as if sliced by knives.

Lin Tian covertly observed in silence, discovering thirty-six formidable auras belonging to the Celestial Generals. However, he couldn't sense the presence of any Half-Step Fusion Realm experts.

Could it be that Duan Sandao did not come to the funeral?

Or perhaps he concealed his aura so that Lin Tian couldn't detect it.

Upon further consideration, that should not be the case. Since he had promised Marquis Ouyang to protect the Tianxia Alliance, he must have deep feelings for Marquis Ouyang. Now that Marquis Ouyang has died, he should come to see him off.

The coffin was quickly buried in the ground, and the tombstone bore four large characters.

"Marquis Ouyang, Alliance!"

Everyone showed solemn respect for this tombstone because it was the resting place of Marquis Ouyang, their Alliance Hierarch.

This was indeed a good location, with a mountain at the back, green trees for company, and a delicate stream in front—a piece of geomantic treasure land.

After the burial of Marquis Ouyang, evening had fallen. Ordinarily, Fairy Zixia, as his daughter, should keep vigil at Marquis Ouyang's tomb for three days, but with the Tianxia Alliance plagued by internal strife and external threats, they could no longer concern themselves with these formalties.

Fairy Zixia led Duke Chu, Lin Tian, and the thirty-six Celestial Generals into a room to strategize.

Fairy Zixia was the first to speak, "Now, our primary goal is to draw the Qinglong Gang and Zuo Yunfei here. Let's all share our thoughts!"

Duke Chu suggested, "Lingyue Town is the old nest of our Tianxia Alliance. If we spread the news that there's a treasure here, it will surely attract the Qinglong Gang and Zuo Yunfei along with their followers."

Fairy Zixia considered for a moment before refusing, "The Alliance Hierarch has just passed away. It would arouse suspicion to spread the news about the treasure at this time. Moreover, Zuo Yunfei and Liang Sihai are very familiar with our Tianxia Alliance. It's unlikely they will fall for it so easily. Even if they do believe the news about the treasure, they might not attack us immediately. They will attack Lingyue Town sooner or later, and the longer we wait, the more prepared they will be."

A Celestial General proposed, "What if I disguise myself as a double agent and tell Zuo Yunfei, confidentially, that Lingyue Town is in great turmoil, to lure him into attacking?"

"That won't work either," Fairy Zixia rejected, "Zuo Yunfei knows our Tianxia Alliance all too well. Deceiving him is simply not possible. To lure them here, we must target the Qinglong Gang first."

The crowd looked at one another, at a loss for ideas, none having a good suggestion.

Then, Lin Tian spoke up, "To target the Qinglong Gang and provoke them into attacking, in plain terms, means we need to infuriate them, causing them to lose their reason in anger and to attack us regardless of the consequences."

Fairy Zixia nodded, feeling that this idea was feasible. When a person becomes enraged, they sometimes lose all reason, and it's even possible for reason to turn negative.

However, she asked, "How do we enrage the Qinglong Gang?"

Lin Tian inquired, "The Qinglong Gang must have several profitable venues, right? Which one is the most lucrative? I'll destroy it. Then you all can coordinate with me from the outside. That should surely draw the Qinglong Gang's attention."

"Which one is the most profitable?"

Duke Chu pondered, and then, opening his eyes widely, he said excitedly, "Next to Yunhai City is Tianhai City, which is ruled by the Qinglong Gang. Inside there's an underground black market called Wolong Bay. It deals in arms and ammunition, organ trading, narcotics, and adult entertainment. Even slaves can be bought and sold in Wolong Bay. A bold saying circulates there: 'As long as you have the money, there's nothing you can't get in this place.'"

"Oh?" Lin Tian exclaimed, surprised to learn that even slave trading existed, a vile practice he hadn't expected in modern society.

The status of slaves was no better than that of chickens, ducks, geese, or dogs, at the mercy of their owners, who could kill them at will. The situation of those who became slaves was as miserable as could be.

It was these heinous transactions that satisfied the twisted desires of wealthy degenerates, making Wolong Bay the most lucrative source of income for the Qinglong Gang!
