I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 78: Triumphant Return

"The Furious Whale Gang is hitting people!"

"If the fees aren’t canceled, we’ll strike!"

"Oh heavens, open your eyes!"

When the Seventh Patrol Squad, led by Zhang Yuan, arrived at the fish market on orders to support, they were met with chaos.

The Linhe Fish Market, situated on the southern side of the wharf district, is controlled and managed by the Furious Whale Gang.

Fishermen who make a living on the Celestial Horse River routinely bring their daily catches to sell in the market.

Buyers include fish traders, town restaurants and inns, as well as procurement from wealthy households.

Fishermen entering the market not only have to pay monthly fees but must also give a share to the Linhai Sub-Branch.

This is a rule set by the Furious Whale Gang.

It has never changed for decades.

As the dominant force on the waters, fishermen who wanted to make a living had no choice but to comply.

Those who don’t follow the rules will learn from reality!

However, today at the fish market, a large, agitated crowd of fishermen was loudly confronting the Outer Hall disciples of the Linhai Sub-Branch, as if each had mustered immense courage.

They showed no fear at all!

Such a situation was obviously abnormal.

It’s important to know that although the strength of Outer Hall disciples wasn’t particularly strong.

Just three to five could easily wipe out this troublesome group of fishermen.

How could people making a living on the waters not know the strength of the Furious Whale Gang!

So, have these fishermen gone mad?

Zhang Yuan spotted the Outer Hall Incense Master, Chen Zhize, among the crowd.

The latter stood among the disciples, expressionless as he watched the fervent fishermen.

The arrival of the Seventh Patrol Squad also caught everyone’s attention.

On seeing Zhang Yuan, Chen Zhize immediately signaled to him.

Under Chen Zhize’s hint,

Zhang Yuan quickly noticed several suspicious-looking individuals among the onlookers.

Though dressed in tattered civilian clothing,

they couldn’t hide their robust demeanor.

These individuals were undoubtedly backing the rioting fishermen; otherwise, these fishermen wouldn’t be so brazenly defiant!

Now in Linhe County, who would have the power and courage to challenge the Furious Whale Gang?

The answer was obvious!

The arrival of the Seventh Patrol Squad was like a spark falling into a powder keg.

The already tense atmosphere at the fish market suddenly exploded!

Someone shouted loudly, "The Furious Whale Gang is going to kill; let’s fight them!"

"Kill these bastards!"

Spurred on by others, the last sense of restraint among the rioting fishermen snapped instantly.

Their faces flushed, they raised their fists, spewing obscenities.

Recklessly forming a human wave rushing towards the Outer Hall disciples!

"Don’t act!"

Chen Zhize shouted deeply, grabbing the wrist of a disciple beside him.

The latter had already gripped the hilt of his knife!

Once unsheathed, blood would inevitably be shed, and the situation would become uncontrollable.

It wasn’t that Chen Zhize lacked resolve.

But there were strict orders from above.

Commanding restraint and patience, avoiding conflicts with Linhe’s forces and civilians until the Squad Leader returned.

The main force of the Linhai Sub-Branch had gone on an expedition with Wei Changfeng and had not been heard from since.

The station was also suddenly attacked by mysterious zombies, causing significant casualties.

In such circumstances, the decision made by those remaining in charge wasn’t necessarily wrong.

But the problem was that the harassment against the Furious Whale Gang had been escalating, with unidentified forces provoking more and more excessively.

Many lower-level disciples had pent-up anger.

Prepared to erupt at any moment!

The actual situation was far more severe than those above predicted.

Just as the Outer Hall disciples were being pushed back step by step by the rioting fishermen, nearly reaching their breaking point,

a man in gray clothes quietly squeezed through the crowd, quickly approaching Chen Zhize.

With a sinister expression, he suddenly drew a dagger and stabbed towards Chen Zhize’s waist without hesitation.

The strike was fast, fierce, and extremely precise and vicious!

Though Chen Zhize is a Dark Force Martial Artist,

at this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the conflict with the fishermen, not guarding against an enemy’s sneak attack.

As the dagger approached Chen Zhize’s vital area,

suddenly a flash of Sword Aura sliced through the crowd, striking the wrist of the gray-clothed man at the critical moment!

"Ah!"

A sharp scream pierced the air.

A severed hand clutching a dagger fell to the ground, with bright red blood splattering on the people around.

The one who saved Chen Zhize with a blade was Zhang Yuan!

As soon as the conflict erupted, Zhang Yuan sensed something was wrong and immediately moved towards where Chen Zhize and others were,

ready to offer support.

And he just happened to save Chen Zhize!

"Someone’s been killed!"

The crowd descended into chaos, screams rising in waves, and the scene was utterly out of control.

Swords were unsheathed with a clanging sound.

The Outer Hall disciples could no longer stand it and drew their blades in unison, the gleaming sword light shocking everyone’s nerves.

The unidentified individuals mingled in the crowd also started to draw their hidden weapons.

A fierce battle was about to erupt!

Woo~

Suddenly, the deep sound of a horn echoed from afar.

It reached everyone’s ears!

The nearly explosive atmosphere on site seemed to be doused with ice water, suddenly calming down.

Everyone involuntarily looked towards where the sound came from.

From a distance on the Celestial Horse River, a large warship was seen sailing with sails unfurled, the Furious Whale Flag fluttering in the wind.

Jinglan!

Everyone recognized at a glance that this warship was the flagship of the Linhai Sub-Branch.

And following behind Jinglan were a series of large and small ships.

The main forces of the Furious Whale Gang had returned!

The crowd was abuzz.

The Furious Whale disciples present cheered joyfully.

The rioting fishermen turned pale with fear, retreating sheepishly.

A few timid ones calmed down, kneeling on the ground with a thump,

bowing repeatedly!

As for those mixed in among the onlookers, they quickly hid their weapons and slipped away without a trace.

Only the man with the severed hand remained writhing in pain on the ground.

Chen Zhize kicked him unconscious with a heavy kick, angrily saying, "I’ve had it up to here!"

In this period, he had endured more frustration than all the past years combined!

He had just narrowly escaped a scheme.

The Outer Hall Incense Master nodded at Zhang Yuan: "Thank you for your hard work."

He didn’t say any words of thanks.

Because the kindness of saving a life isn’t repaid with mere words.

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It’s expected."

Not to mention how much Chen Zhize had helped him before.

Even if a stranger disciple encountered the same situation, he would still help!

"Let’s go!"

Chen Zhize vigorously patted Zhang Yuan’s shoulder, excitedly saying, "Let’s go welcome the Squad Leader!"

At this moment, the Linhe wharf had already turned into a sea of joy.

All the surrounding Furious Whale disciples rushed over.

People from Whale Castle and Wu Manor were also on their way.

After half a month,

having gone through a series of crises and troubles,

the defenders of the Linhai Sub-Branch finally saw the light!
