Song Changming listened silently, without expressing any opinions, and after a mont asked, "The few mbers of the Nine Bends Association sent for detention tonight, perhaps we can extract so information about the association from them."
"Hmm, I’ve been worried about how to capture so insiders of the Nine Bends Association without alerting them. Luckily, a few delivered themselves to us tonight. Give the order for a thorough interrogation," Liang Chuan Mountain nodded and said.
"Alright," Song Changming agreed.
The next day, inside a tea house.
"I’ve checked, it was your people courting death last night, causing trouble and openly defying the Patrol Armor Bureau!" Qian Wen sat down with a heavy snort and spoke to the person in front of him.
"If they had only defied my Patrol Guard, it might have been easier to handle, but yesterday your people drew their swords against Song Changming. Do you know who he is?
He’s a close confidant of the new Director and the newly appointed Patrol Captain. I can’t help you with this."
Zhu Changyi held a small jade cup in his hand, turning it, with an unchanged expression. After listening, he took a small box from beneath the table and pushed it toward Qian Wen.
"Thank you, Brother Qian, for gathering the information. It’s my fault for not managing my n well. Although I can’t bail out those brats, this money is still offered to you in full."
Upon seeing this, Qian Wen’s expression improved, showing a slight smile.
"Brother Zhu is straightforward, no need to be so polite. Co, co, have so tea."
"Hehe," Zhu Changyi chuckled along, then continued to ask, "I don’t know much about the new Patrol Captain. Could Brother Qian please tell more, so I can prepare a gift and apologize in person another day?"
"What’s there to say? He rely gained his position through the new Director’s influence. Becoming a Patrol Captain at such a young age is just a stroke of luck," Qian Wen said with a dismissive glance.
His tone carried a hint of resentnt, evidently displeased with Liang Chuan Mountain’s favoritism toward Song Changming, whom he considered a young upstart, for quite so ti.
His and Zhao Dezhi’s status in the Patrol Armor Bureau had been gradually declining, closely tied to the rise of Song Changming and Lv Gang.
A new generation replaces the old.
But who would willingly beco the fading old guard?
Originally wanting to say more bad words about Liang Chuan Mountain, he cautiously held his tongue considering the unreliability of the person in front of him.
anwhile, on the other side at the Patrol Armor Bureau, in the small courtyard.
Song Changming moved agilely, stepping back and forth on a series of uneven wooden stakes.
These stakes were specifically set up in the courtyard by his order, for practicing his set of high level Light Body Skill.
As days went by, though this Light Body Skill was hard to master, he was indeed making progress and improving bit by bit.
Looking at the progress bar now, he was not far from reaching the basic level.
"Song,"
Outside the courtyard, Jiang Chunzi hurried over in a hurry.
Song Changming, executing a roll, landed steadily on the ground from a perch atop a wooden stake, wiping his upper body with a towel, he asked.
"What did the interrogation reveal to make you so flustered?"
"Sothing big!" Jiang Chunzi quickly said.
"Just now, we extracted from Wang Liuzi that a year ago, the mastermind who hired Anye Pavilion assassins to ambush our Patrol Armor Bureau was not the Tengya Mountain Bandit Army but the Nine Bends Association!"
Song Changming paused his wiping motion, looking at Jiang Chunzi, "Is this confird repeatedly?"
"There’s no mistake. They said all the Nine Bends Stars agreed to it, all to avenge the Patrol Armor Bureau for taking over the Qinghe gang," Jiang Chunzi nodded heavily and said.
"So a year ago, this Nine Bends Association was already so audacious," Song Changming murmured.
Back then, the hired assassins from Anye Pavilion had caused imnse unrest within the entire Patrol Armor Bureau.
It wasn’t just that several Patrol Guards were killed; even the Patrol Captain, Sun Wenyan, was killed in the incident, which greatly tarnished the reputation and esteem of Houli Street’s Patrol Armor Bureau.
Therefore, this was no small matter.
When Song Changming reported this to Liang Chuan Mountain, Liang’s expression turned stormy, and his determination to annihilate the Nine Bends Association intensified.
This was a significant threat.
Liang Chuan Mountain had no objection to keeping dogs, but the premise was that the dog must be obedient and not bite people.
For the ti being, this matter was not disclosed to the public to avoid alarming the Nine Bends Association prematurely.
Several days passed in this manner.
On this day, one of the Nine Bends Stars of the Nine Bends Association, bringing gifts, sought to visit Song Changming, seemingly to apologize for Wang Liuzi’s previous offense.
Song Changming directly closed his door and did not et with them. At present, he did not want to have any association with the Nine Bends Association.
Moreover, he had no goodwill whatsoever towards this arrogant gang.
Sooner or later, they would beco mutual enemies; there was nothing to discuss.
"That kid really thinks he’s sobody, relying solely on the support of Liang Chuan Mountain. Big brother, why don’t we find an opportunity to take him out and avenge Liu Zi!"
After being turned away, a few Nine Bends Association mbers cursed all the way back.
Since the Qinghe gang’s downfall, they had dominated the entire Houli Street district, and never in this year had they been so coldly ignored and belittled.
Even though Song Changming had beco a Patrol Captain, they had beco so arrogant as to harbor murderous thoughts.
The leading Wu Fei, as one of the leaders of the Nine Bends Association, was also holding back a belly full of anger.
"Don’t think being a Patrol Captain is anything amazing; it’s not like we haven’t killed one before!"
It should be known that the death of Sun Wenyan back then was orchestrated by him personally.
"Let’s go back!"
This small city district remained outwardly the sa as usual, but beneath the surface, covert currents were already surging.
That night, in the courtyard.
Song Changming, who was hanging upside down on the old locust tree, suddenly flipped and landed, feeling his legs suddenly warm and hot, with muscles twitching and trembling.
Simultaneously, the technique and thods previously sowhat obscure in his mind suddenly beca clear and bright.
This process ended in about a minute, as if nothing had happened.
Checking the panel, sure enough, his Light Body Skill had finally reached the basic level.
"Not easy..." Song Changming sighed, starting this high level Light Body Skill practice without a foundation had indeed cost him a lot of ti and effort.
Fortunately, there was finally so reward.
Glancing at the courtyard wall, and using the realized skills from his insight, his legs suddenly exerted force and leaped upward.
In an instant, Song Changming felt as if he were soaring through clouds and mists, and before realizing, he was already standing steadily atop the courtyard wall.
This courtyard wall was nearly three ters high, previously he needed to use hands and feet, relying on force to climb.
But now, effortlessly, just with a push of his feet, he reached the top.
His legs seed to be equipped with springs.
Theoretically, having trained in the Great Strength Bull Demon Skill, with his current body weight, he couldn’t be described as light as a swallow, more like a stubborn bull with wings.
Or perhaps a combination of a stubborn bull and a flying swallow.
Leaping down from the courtyard wall, he drew his saber to practice sword skills, simultaneously utilizing the just-mastered Light Body Skill.
The combination made him quickly realize that his movent beca significantly more agile.
His legs moved like the wind, his steps varied, arriving in an instant.
Even the execution of his sword skills beca more proficient, with a slight increase in his sword-drawing speed.
Both his Soul-breaking Saber and Flying Swallow Technique belong to the category of fast saber, and now they’ve beco even faster!
