Xu Zi Ling was taken aback, then fell into thought, recalling the eight forces mentioned by Fu Jun A earlier!
His expression turned serious, and he spoke:
"Zhong Shao is right. The world is in turmoil! Every gang has powerful backing!"
"Our Double Dragon Gang, however, has no backing. The Water Dragon Gang has the Song Clan behind them!"
"The Giant Kun Bang has the Du Gu Clan, and the Ba Ling Gang has an even stronger force – the current Emperor!"
Kou Zhong nodded, thinking that Xu Zi Ling was indeed intelligent, understanding quickly.
"Our Double Dragon Gang is newly established. I need to stay at the main舵."
"So you two will be busy next!"
Fu Jun A and Xu Zi Ling immediately stood up and said:
"At your command!"
Kou Zhong waved his hand, his expression solemn, and said:
"Ling Shao, you go and eliminate the nearby gangs!"
"For example, our old employer, the Bamboo Flower Gang, and spies from other gangs!"
Then he turned to Fu Jun A and said:
"Miss Fu, you will take some people and gather the hearts of those in other branches!"
Xu Zi Ling and Fu Jun A both responded in unison.
Xu Zi Ling set off with his men that afternoon.
He ruthlessly eliminated all the forces of the Bamboo Flower Gang in Jiang Du, large and small!
Xu Zi Ling's name became as famous as Kou Zhong's in the martial arts world!
The name of the "Yangzhou Double Dragons" spread throughout the land!
Fu Jun A, on the other hand, waited until the next day to depart.
After the two left the meeting hall.
Kou Zhong also returned to his residence, looking at the manuals his men had brought.
He picked them up and looked through them, but his brows furrowed more and more with each one.
Until he picked up a simple, almost ancient manual, its cover stained with blood.
His brows finally relaxed, and a clear prompt echoed in his mind:
【Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the "Xi Dai Shu" and successfully acquiring a legacy progress!】
【Legacy reward received: One tenfold storage bag!】
Immediately, another prompt sounded!
【Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the "Ying Bi Jue" and "Po Jun Qiang", successfully acquiring a role-playing progress!】
【Legacy reward received: Several Golden Marrow Pills, several Clear Spirit 散!】
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Kou Zhong's eyes, a smile curved his lips, and he silently uttered the word, "Receive!" in his mind.
As soon as the words left his mind, a black storage bag appeared out of thin air on the table.
The storage bag seemed ordinary in texture, with no unusual features!
Dozens of white porcelain bottles of elixir were arranged on the table, the bottles crystal clear.
The elixirs inside emitted a faint fragrance, refreshing and invigorating.
Kou Zhong picked up the black storage bag, and the method of using it instantly appeared in his mind!
Kou Zhong carefully pointed the mouth of the black storage bag towards the white jade porcelain bottles on the table.
His eyes revealed a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
He furrowed his brows slightly, focusing his mind, then injected a sliver of spiritual energy into the storage bag.
As the spiritual energy entered, the mouth of the storage bag suddenly emitted a white light downwards!
The light was soft and not blinding.
All the porcelain bottles on the table were drawn towards the light, slowly levitating!
Then, they gradually shrunk and smoothly disappeared into the storage bag!
This magical scene filled Kou Zhong with a hint of surprise.
He couldn't help but murmur in admiration, "Truly amazing!"
Kou Zhong's playful nature was stirred, and he wanted to test the storage bag's function further.
So, he injected spiritual energy into the storage bag again, storing the furniture and ornaments around him.
Then he released them again!
After several trials of storing and releasing, Kou Zhong was completely familiar with how to use the storage bag!
Then, his eyebrows shot up, as if remembering something.
He opened the door and, under the cover of night, headed towards Fu Jun A's room…
The night was as black as ink, and the lakeside manor was shrouded in tranquility.
Moonlight spilled onto the water, creating a silvery ripple, as if stars had fallen to earth.
The shadow of willows in the distance was reflected on the lake's surface, swaying gently with the breeze.
Occasionally, a few night birds flew over the water, breaking the silence, before quickly disappearing into the night.
Kou Zhong walked along the winding corridor, his hands clasped behind his back, his steps steady and powerful.
In the moonlight, his figure appeared particularly tall and imposing.
As he approached Fu Jun A's small courtyard, he encountered several maidservants exiting the courtyard.
They stopped when they saw Kou Zhong, bowed gracefully, their voices soft and respectful:
"Greetings, First Leader!"
Kou Zhong nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Then he continued to walk steadily forward.
The maidservants lowered their heads and quickly left, their steps tiny as they whispered amongst themselves:
"The First Leader seems to be looking for Miss Fu… but…"
"What but? I told you, Miss Fu is definitely the First Leader's woman."
"Otherwise, why would Miss Fu just have us prepare a bath, and then the First Leader goes over?"
"Keep your voices down, you all! Don't let your words get out!"
"Let's go!"
The maidservants, upon hearing this, quickly covered their mouths and nervously looked around.
When they saw no one, they cautiously returned to the servants' quarters.
Kou Zhong was deep in thought about the gang's future development.
He was also filled with joy over his newly acquired storage bag.
He didn't notice the maidservants' whispered conversation earlier.
He remembered that Fu Jun A was currently at a critical point in her realm advancement.
He originally planned to use the medicinal herbs in the 海沙帮 treasure vault to help her cultivate.
But now, with the Golden Marrow Pills and Clear Spirit 散, he could win over people's hearts even more effectively!
The Golden Marrow Pill, like the previous Yellow Dragon Pill, could enhance one's martial arts strength.
It was as if one had been reborn!
The Clear Spirit 散 was an even rarer detoxification elixir in the mortal world, in the mortal realm!
It was said to be able to cure all poisons in the world!
And these precious elixirs could also play a role in improving the gang members' strength and cohesion…
As Kou Zhong pondered, he had already reached Fu Jun A's door.
He didn't hesitate to push open the door, and the sound of water and a cool voice rang out almost simultaneously.
"Who is it?"
