I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 79: A Sudden Killing Intent

Amidst the deafening cheers of the Furious Whale disciples, the Jinglan slowly docked at the pier.

This large warship was not only the supreme symbol of power for the Linhai Sub-Branch but also a heavy weapon of intimidation for the Celestial Horse River Basin.

Ever since Squad Leader Wei Changfeng took it to battle, the combat power of the Linhai Sub-Branch plummeted, with its station almost overrun and even the lowly river bandits daring to provoke them.

Now that the Jinglan has safely returned, the bottled-up frustrations of the Furious Whale disciples have finally been vented.

As the Jinglan came to a steady halt at its berth, a tall man in a purple robe appeared on the bow deck, casting an authoritative gaze upon the pier.

It was indeed Squad Leader Wei Changfeng!

The Furious Whale disciples immediately fell silent.

Only Wei Changfeng’s solemn voice was heard: "This expedition has annihilated the enemy, today we return in great victory!"

His voice was not loud.

But it rattled the eardrums of everyone on the pier with a continuous buzzing and echoed into the county

At least half of the townspeople heard it loud and clear!

Initially stunned, the Furious Whale disciples then erupted into thunderous shouts: "Furious Whale mighty～"

At this moment, the shadow cast over the Linhai Sub-Branch dissipated completely.

The enemies lurking in the dark felt a chill in their hearts.

Standing with hands behind him at the bow, Wei Changfeng showed a faint confident smile.

Yet at this very moment, no one noticed his hands behind his back were trembling slightly.

One by one, warships docked and Furious Whale Warriors disembarked with heads held high.

Leaving the Jinglan, Wei Changfeng boarded a carriage drawn by five white steeds.

He proceeded towards Whale Castle amidst the thronging Furious Whale disciples.

The cheers along the way were unending!

The spectacle resembled flowers embroidered on brocade, rivaled the fervor of cooking oil with raging flames, bustling and flourishing to the extreme.

However, the observant Zhang Yuan noticed that, including the Jinglan, all warships bore signs of fire and stone impacts.

Though most of the damages had been repaired, they were still quite evident.

What’s more, nearly all the last Furious Whale gang members to disembark were injured, many carried out on stretchers.

The Linhai Sub-Branch may have returned victorious from this expedition.

But it was undoubtedly at a significant cost!

This is the martial world.

"Brother Yuan?"

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to leave the pier to return to Wu Manor, a hesitant voice sounded beside him.

Zhang Yuan turned and smiled: "Uncle Da Wang."

It was Chen Dawang from Chen Family Village.

Zhang Yuan hadn’t seen Chen Dawang for a while, and the latter looked to be in decent shape.

Chen Dawang rubbed his hands, revealing an awkward smile.

He lowered his voice and said: "Brother Yuan, I have a few words I want to say to you."

The hesitant demeanor of the other party intrigued Zhang Yuan, who nodded and replied: "Alright."

The two found a secluded spot, and Chen Dawang looked around before swallowing and saying: "Brother Yuan, I heard something. That Zhang Xiong is inquiring about you."

Zhang Xiong?

Zhang Yuan had almost forgotten about this person.

Ever since the strange disaster at Qianfeng Mountain, he hadn’t seen him again.

Once thought he might be dead.

Later, Zhang Yuan heard Chen Dawang’s recount.

At that time, Zhang Xiong, who was in charge of guarding the City God Statue, fled at the first sign of trouble!

But as Chen Dawang mentioned Zhang Xiong again, memories of him instantly resurfaced in Zhang Yuan’s mind.

Zhang Yuan asked calmly: "Why is he investigating me?"

"I don’t know either."

Chen Dawang shook his head: "Two days ago, I ran into Chen Fugui from the same village, he’s also alive, saying he’s been hanging with others in town."

"He also said Zhang Xiong is now the Incense Master of the Fierce Tiger Gang, and he’s quite impressive now."

"Moreover, Zhang Xiong has recently been asking around about you."

"I’m worried you might be unprepared and fall into a trap. That Zhang Xiong isn’t a good person!"

Zhang Xiong became the Incense Master of the Fierce Tiger Gang?

Zhang Yuan nodded: "I understand, Uncle Da Wang, thank you!"

Someone harbors ill intentions!

He remembers clearly how Zhang Xiong once conned him out of a cliff sheep weighing over a hundred pounds.

Zhang Yuan hadn’t sought him out for revenge, never expected this guy to have an eye on him again.

Although Zhang Yuan didn’t know Zhang Xiong’s purpose.

But even guessing with toes, he can tell the other’s intentions aren’t good!

Thinking of a malicious wolf lurking, Zhang Yuan felt a surge of murderous intent.

Better be a thief for a thousand days than guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Knowing this hidden danger, if he didn’t find a way to eliminate it, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating!

"No need for politeness."

Chen Dawang waved his hand repeatedly, hastily saying: "Brother Yuan, without your help, I wouldn’t have the good job now. I’d be willing to risk my life for you!"

Zhang Yuan laughed: "Uncle Da Wang, it’s not that serious."

He chatted with Chen Dawang a little more, then hurriedly returned home in the county.

To take Mother Zhang, Xiang Xiu, and Da Hu back to live in Wu Manor.

Now, with Squad Leader Wei Changfeng leading the triumphant return, the strength of the Linhai Sub-Branch is no longer vacant.

The safety of Wu Manor is naturally ensured.

It’s less stable for Mother Zhang to remain in the county.

Because Zhang Xiong infiltrated the Fierce Tiger Gang as Incense Master, since he’s targeting Zhang Yuan, he might trace it back to Fish Alley.

Keep in mind that the Fierce Tiger Gang is a local powerhouse in Linhe County; while not as strong as the Furious Whale Gang, its close ties with the Government Office and local aristocratic families make its influence deeply rooted.

Uncovering Zhang Yuan’s current details is not difficult.

As the saying goes, a careful boat sails for ten thousand years, taking Mother Zhang back to Wu Manor is the safest choice.

Without any worries, Zhang Yuan can fully concentrate on resolving this trouble!

And when Zhang Yuan arrived at Fish Alley, Wei Changfeng simultaneously returned to Whale Castle and immediately convened a high-level meeting.

Once numerous Hall Masters, Vice Hall Masters, and Elders gathered in the conference hall, this Tier Four Martial Artist said solemnly: "I’ll be secluding for three months starting today, Master Wan Pu will temporarily assume the role of Squad Leader, with Liao Taishang supervising!"

The group exchanged glances.

No one expected Wei Changfeng to seclude himself just after returning to the Sub-Branch.

For as long as three months!

The gray-robed elder sitting to Wei Changfeng’s left suddenly opened his eyes.

His pupils shone with Divine Light!

He glanced at Wei Changfeng, and said indifferently: "With me and the Canglang Profound Soldiers here, you can focus on your seclusion."

This gray-robed elder was Supreme Elder Liao Yong’an.

Not only a Tier Four Martial Artist but also two generations senior to Wei Changfeng, occupying a unique status!

"Thank you, Taishang."

Wei Changfeng respectfully thanked: "Thanks for your trouble."

Liao Yong’an waved his hand and said no more.

Sitting upright at the main seat, Wei Changfeng straightened up, looked around: "If anyone has questions, just ask, as long as I know and can speak, I’ll inform you all!"

The silence in the conference hall was palpable.

After a moment, a stern-looking middle-aged man asked: "Squad Leader, is the news true?"
