“Gentlemen, please calm down!”

Xu Mu suddenly stood in between the two parties.

“Who are you to speak here?” The sharp-faced man in the black robe asked coldly.

He sensed Xu Mu was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he said this intentionally to provoke him.

Before their arrival, they had learned that Whale Falling Chen was dead, and the powerful Shen Gai had already left. It could be said that the Whale Sea Gang was now like fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy.

What they needed to do now was to establish dominance over someone, and ensure the Whale Sea Gang would bow down to them.

Xu Mu, in the middle of Qi Cultivation stage, seemed an ideal target.

“I am Xu Mu, an elder of the Whale Sea Gang!”

Xu Mu responded politely, showing no anger.

“Step aside!”

The sharp-faced man in the black robe was obviously looking for trouble. Seeing that he couldn’t provoke Xu Mu to take the initiative, he simply ordered the Corpse Refiner to take action.

After all, the Iron Corpse Gang were not the types to play by the rules.

Two Corpse Refiners growled, their sharp, poisonous fingernails reaching out from their long sleeves, ready to attack. Xu Mu flashed in front of them, stretching out his hands and pressing down on their shoulders.

Sizzle!

Golden lightning flickered, and the two Corpse Refiners were stopped in their tracks, smoking all over.

“Lightning magic!”

The sharp-faced man in black robed face changed, and he immediately began shaking his bells.

Ring! Ring!

The bells sounded piercingly loud, and the two Corpse Refiners’ energy surged, but under Xu Mu’s grip, they could still not move in the slightest.

“Elder Brother He!”

The sharp-faced man in the black robe’s pupils shrank, and he quickly looked at the broad-faced man in the black robe beside him.

The broad-faced man had a tense expression and was about to shake his bells when Xu Mu suddenly let go and took a step back.

“Why do you need to resort to violence so hastily? We didn’t say we would refuse!” Xu Mu clasped his hands together, smiling.

The broad-faced man stopped in his tracks, his gaze wary as he looked at Xu Mu.

He didn’t expect Xu Mu to cultivate lightning martial methods. And from the looks of it, he was of considerable strength, suppressing two tier four Corpse Refiners with just a flick of his fingers.

Lightning was the bane of the Corpse Refiners.

If a fight were to break out, they might not have much of an upper hand. After all, there was Xu Yiren and hundreds of Qi Cultivators.

“What a trick you’ve pulled!”

The sharp-faced man drew the Corpse Refiners behind him with a cold sneer.

He may have made a ruthless move, but he was not a brute.

Brutes don’t last long in this world.

His dominance was based on his strength, and when he lacked that strength, being too dominant would only lead to his destruction.

“You flatter me!”

Xu Mu replied with a smile, cupping his hands.

“Joining the Iron Corpse Gang is not a small matter, could you allow us a few days to consider?”

Xu Mu presented a reasonable demeanor.

The two men in black robes glanced at each other, then nodded.

Since they couldn’t subdue the enemy easily, they had to agree.

Of course, they didn’t actually agree; it was merely a stalling tactic.

“Fine! We’ll give you half a month to consider. We hope you make your decision wisely!”

After they finished, the two of them turned to leave, but Xu Mu stood in their way once more.

“What, are you looking for a fight?!”

The two men in black robes turning cold.

They didn’t truly fear Xu Mu, they just didn’t want to suffer too much loss on his account.

“You two just can’t kill someone and leave like this, can you?” Xu Mu said calmly.

“What do you propose we do?” The broad-faced man in the black robe flickered his gaze, swinging his sleeve and coldly asked.

He didn’t want to create a conflict in an uncertain situation.

Besides, there was already conflict within the Iron Corpse Gang. Suffering too much loss because of Xu Mu would be a pyrrhic victory, even if they managed to bring down the Whale Sea Gang.

“Some sort of compensation should be paid, don’t you agree?” Xu Mu said, smiling.

“Just a few mere Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators fell, death is merely death! You dare ask for compensation, quite bold!” The sharp-faced man in the black robe responded with fierce eyes.

Xu Mu ignored him, his gaze was on the broad-faced man in the black robe.

The broad-faced man in the black robe fell silent and then finally spoke: “How much do you want?”

“Thirty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones!”

The faces of the two men immediately grew unpleasant.

This request had a certain feel of fighting fire with fire.

“Elder Brother He!”

The sharp-faced man in the black robe jingled his bell, and the two refined corpses immediately flashed to the front; he was clearly ready for a fight.

The broad-faced man in the black robe placed his hand on the other man’s shoulder, then subtly said, “This man dares to make such bold demands, his strength might not be as simple as it seems. Let’s just give him what he wants now, and later when we have called for help, we will kill him and all the spirit stones will be ours again!”

The sharp-faced man in the black robe hesitated, finally nodding his head. Xu Mu’s ambition of subduing his refined corpses was too impressive to ignore, preventing him from acting rashly.

Before complete confidence is attained, spending some Spirit Stones to avoid conflict seemed like a good idea.

The two men each took out one hundred and fifty medium-grade Spirit Stones and threw them on the ground, only then did they turn around and leave.

This time, Xu Mu didn’t stop them.

Only after the two men had left did Xu Yiren rush forward in worried haste.

“Won’t this provoke them too much? I think they might come back for revenge!”

“Remove the word ‘might’,” Xu Mu replied, glancing back at Xu Yiren with a calm demeanor.

“Then why did you provoke them? Could it be…” Xu Yiren’s eyes were wide open.

Could it be that he really believed what she said and planned to annihilate the Iron Corpse Gang?

Xu Yiren blurted out what she had implied. She had been joking when she spoke those words, like a woman teases for the stars in the sky, not actually believing Xu Mu could eliminate the Iron Corpse Gang.

In her consciousness, Xu Mu was very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to subdue the three men, Yang Wanshou, within a day, nor to defeat Shen Gai without a single scratch.

All of this, even the former Whale Falling Chen couldn’t achieve.

But this strength was still quite a bit away from annihilating the Iron Corpse Gang.

“Xu Lang, you mustn’t take it seriously. I was just joking,” Xu Yiren hastily talked him down.

“I will contact the several other gangs straight away. As long as we stand together, the Iron Corpse Gang will not dare to act rashly. Worst comes to worst, we can give the Spirit Stones back to them. If that still doesn’t work, we can simply flee!”

“Haha!”

Seeing Xu Yiren’s anxious expression, he couldn’t help but laugh.

It seemed that this woman really cared about him. She was ready to drop her hard-won position as gang leader at a moment’s notice.

“Rest assured, it’s just a minor issue, I’ll handle it! There’s no absolute need to eliminate the Iron Corpse Gang!”

“You go and comfort the gang members, I’ll be back soon.”

With that, Xu Mu turned to leave, disappearing before Xu Yiren could protest.

“Xu Lang can’t be thinking of chasing after them and killing them, can he? If he does, the Iron Corpse Gang won’t let go easily,” Xu Yiren said, her brows furrowed, not understanding Xu Mu’s intentions.

If he truly wanted to take action, wouldn’t it have been better to do it when they were all together?

Chasing after them and killing them now will only make the Iron Corpse Gang suspicious.

When the time came, it would truly be a situation of no return. The surrounding gangs would surely not support them.

What Xu Yiren didn’t know was that Xu Mu, after leaving, was not chasing after the two men but was heading to the marketplace managed by the Iron Corpse Gang.
