Chapter 69: Visiting the Enemy Gang in Person

Ning Zhuo walked forward, lifted his foot, and kicked, directly knocking the servant over.

Then, he held up a command token, almost shoving it into the servant's face.

"Open your eyes and take a good look!"

"I am under orders from Lord Fei Si, entrusted with urgent matters, here to see Leader Yuan Er. Do you dare to stop me?" Ning Zhuo shouted, sweeping his gaze over the other servants, exuding an imposing aura.

"Another person from the City Lord's mansion?"

"The previous envoy directly forced us to sell the monkey corpses, and the leader didn't even dare to say a word!"

"What does this envoy want this time?"

The resentment towards Yuan Er within the Monkey Head Gang had been growing.

Most of the gang members were beast tamers who had cultivated their monkey pets for years. Who could be without feelings? Properly burying the monkey corpses was the right thing to do. However, Yuan Er, unable to withstand the pressure last time, directly sold them to the Mechanical Workshop. This action severely tarnished his reputation.

Now, with the critical situation of Yuan Dasheng being severely injured and on the brink of death, the entire Monkey Head Gang was already in a state of panic.

With just one token, Ning Zhuo proudly marched straight in, unimpeded all the way.

Soon, he reached the backyard.

The main bedroom in the backyard was dimly lit.

Yuan Er sat there in a daze, looking at the unconscious Yuan Dasheng lying on the bed, tears silently falling.

In the past, he had also understood the significant importance of Yuan Dasheng to himself and to the Monkey Head Gang. But when Yuan Dasheng truly fell, Yuan Er fully realized how heavy this significance truly was!

Zhu Xuanji had saved Yuan Dasheng's life, but it was only a temporary measure. Even with the Late Autumn Life Preservation Pill, Yuan Dasheng would remain permanently disabled, confined to a sickbed for the rest of his life.

This devastating news was like a thunderbolt to Yuan Er.

Noises came from outside the door.

Yuan Er trembled and thought, "Could it be the elders coming to force me out?"

Without Yuan Dasheng, who could back him up?

Then Ning Zhuo's voice came: "Where is Leader Yuan Er? I am here under the orders of Lord Fei Si with urgent matters."

Yuan Er, with tear stains still on his face, walked out of the bedroom and saw the haughty-looking Ning Zhuo.

He was at the Foundation Establishment stage and already possessed spiritual sense.

At this moment, he scanned with his spiritual sense to confirm the authenticity of the command token. Not daring to neglect Ning Zhuo, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Hou watched me grow up, his kindness is like a mountain. Now he is gravely injured and on the brink of death. I must care for him and cannot leave. Please report to Lord Fei Si that I can no longer participate in the Huoshi Festival."

Yuan Er looked defeated.

The explosion in the Millennium Huoshi Forest and Yuan Dasheng's critical injuries had utterly devastated him and the entire Monkey Head Gang.

Without Yuan Dasheng's protection, how could he dare to venture out again?

At this moment, Ning Zhuo smiled and put away the command token. "Leader Yuan Er, I am here to save your life. Do you know that you don't have much time left?"

Yuan Er was furious. "Why is the envoy trying to scare me?"

Ning Zhuo immediately replied, "Whether it's scaremongering or not, does Leader Yuan Er dare to dismiss everyone and listen to what I have to say?"

Yuan Er snorted coldly, his gaze flickering. In the end, he waved his hand and said to the servants around him, "All of you, leave us."

Seeing no one else around, Ning Zhuo directly barged into the master bedroom.

This behavior was extremely rude, causing Yuan Er's face to turn livid with anger, but he ultimately held back.

Ning Zhuo stepped into the master bedroom and immediately saw Yuan Dasheng lying on the sickbed.

The monkey was on the verge of death, its life hanging by a thread.

In an instant, Ning Zhuo felt a strong impulse to kill the monkey outright!

But he took a deep breath and controlled his temper.

He couldn’t kill it.

Many things seemed straightforward but were actually counterproductive.

On one hand, if he suddenly acted now, Yuan Er would definitely intervene. Yuan Er, being at the Foundation Establishment stage, had far superior cultivation to Ning Zhuo.

On the other hand, even if he succeeded in killing the monkey, he was within the Monkey Head Gang’s territory and escaping would be difficult.

The third, and most crucial aspect, was that if Ning Zhuo killed Yuan Dasheng directly, he would be openly offending Zhu Xuanji!

Zhu Xuanji had just saved the monkey, and Ning Zhuo showing up to slaughter it immediately after would be a blatant challenge to Zhu Xuanji’s authority.

Zhu Xuanji was a detective who had already questioned Ning Zhuo once during the Lava Immortal Palace investigation. Doing such a thing would be an arrogant provocation, practically inviting Zhu Xuanji to investigate him again.

In fact, even Fei Si wouldn’t dare to act so directly.

Yuan Er followed and, in a low voice, displeased, said, "Do not disturb my Uncle Hou’s rest. Envoy, this way, please."

Yuan Er led Ning Zhuo to a side room.

It was a small study.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to close the door and spoke directly, "Leader Yuan Er, how long do you think you can hold onto your position as the leader?"

Yuan Er's face darkened. "If the envoy is here to sow discord, then please leave."

Ning Zhuo sneered, "Leader Yuan Er, I am here to help you, to save your life. Is this how you treat your savior?"

"The pill given to you by Lord Zhu Xuanji, along with his words, have all been recorded by the formation and are now widely known."

"Even if Yuan Dasheng survives, he will be nothing more than a bedridden cripple. Without him, who will submit to you, Yuan Er?"

"You know very well how your father rose to power!"

"The Monkey Head Gang gradually rose through bloody battles and fierce struggles, establishing its foothold amidst the carnage."

"How many enemies did you make in the process?"

"How many foes are lurking in the shadows? Now that they finally have a chance for revenge, do you think they will let you live in peace and enjoy wealth and prosperity?"

His words struck directly at Yuan Er's heart, causing his gaze to flicker. "How can the envoy help me?"

Ning Zhuo once again held up the command token, specifically showing Yuan Er the back with Fei Si's name on it.

"A mere monkey as your backing, how can it compare to Lord Fei Si?"

A gleam of hope flashed in Yuan Er's eyes as he found it hard to believe. "Are you saying I can seek refuge with Lord Fei Si?"

Ning Zhuo sneered, shattering his fantasy. "Don't dream such sweet dreams. Even when the Monkey Head Gang was strong, it didn't catch Lord Fei Si's eye. How could it be now?"

"What I mean is, you should seek refuge with me!"

Yuan Er felt a wave of humiliation but knew that everything Ning Zhuo said was true.

The gang members were almost all aggressive and belligerent, involved in shady activities, and far from clean.

Officials of the Southern Dou Immortal Court wouldn't get involved with these matters, as it would tarnish their reputations.

Fei Si, being at the Golden Core stage, wouldn't even consider using the entire Monkey Head Gang as his lackeys! Of course, this was assuming Yuan Dasheng hadn't shown his true strength.

Yuan Er scrutinized Ning Zhuo, then cupped his hands. "May I ask, what is your esteemed identity?"

"My surname is Ning, given name Zhuo, and I am a member of the Ning family."

Ning Zhuo directly leveraged his family name as a shield.

Yuan Er's expression became more serious.

Ning Zhuo shook the command token in his hand. "I am also under the favor of Lord Fei Si, merely a small errand boy."

Yuan Er's face turned solemn as he extended his hand. "Please, have a seat."

Ning Zhuo spoke humbly, but Yuan Er understood that this so-called errand boy was likely someone close to Fei Si, possibly even a confidant.

Yuan Er invited Ning Zhuo to sit, and he himself slowly sat down.

The two sat across a desk from each other.

Ning Zhuo continued, "I am also a member of the Flying Disk Workshop. Many of the mechanical monkeys were brought to life by my hands."

Yuan Er suddenly stood up, furious. "Was it you who came to assassinate me? To poison my gang's monkey pets! How dare you come here?!"
