Chapter 366 The Traitor

"Greetings, Master Ning."

The man who arrived was around fifty years old, but the temples on both sides of his head bulged significantly, indicating he was a master of internal martial arts.

"I heard you are the helmsman of the Qinghe Gang here. I want to meet the leader of the Qinghe Gang. Can you arrange it?" Ning Beichen said to him.

"Master Ning, the leader of the Qinghe Gang hasn't appeared for ten years. I'm not sure if I can find him." The man replied.

Ning Beichen frowned slightly and then asked, "Who is managing the Qinghe Gang now?"

"Qiao San, the younger brother of the former leader of the Qinghe Gang." The man answered.

"Then arrange a meeting for me with him." Ning Beichen said.

"Master Ning, no! This Qiao San is a very dangerous person, and he is an enemy of the King of Darkness. If you meet him, he will surely use this opportunity to deal with you," the man hurriedly advised.

"This is my business. You just need to help me arrange a meeting with him." Ning Beichen's expression turned a bit cold.

"Yes, Master Ning." The man bowed his head hastily.

"You're not convinced?" Ning Beichen looked at him and said.

"I wouldn't dare." The man continued to bow his head.

"Do you still think that since I disbanded the King of Darkness and have no one left, you have the guts to defy me?" Ning Beichen looked at him and said.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare," the man still bowed his head and said.

"You don't not dare, you dare very much. Back then, you were just a nobody, and I helped you rise in the Qinghe Gang. Now that you're a helmsman, do you think you can ignore me?" Ning Beichen's voice was somewhat icy.

"Get out. Once you've done this for me, we'll have no further connection. The King of Darkness has been disbanded. The sky is vast, and the birds can fly free. You no longer need to respect me." After Ning Beichen finished speaking, he waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more to him, and signaled for him to be taken away.

The organization known as the King of Darkness was originally very loosely structured, with few core members. The man who had just spoken was a hidden operative of the King of Darkness. Ning Beichen had placed him in the Qinghe Gang and used his resources to help him climb the ranks. He never expected that power would blind his eyes. If the King of Darkness had not been disbanded, he would never have dared to rebel. However, with Ning Beichen having disbanded the King of Darkness, it meant that these hidden operatives were no longer suppressed.

Did he regret it? Ning Beichen did not regret it. In the past, his vision was not broad, and his perspective was confined to his immediate surroundings. He believed that what he saw was all there was to know. But after becoming a Grandmaster, he realized he had been like a frog in a well. His master had told him these things before, but he hadn't listened. It wasn't that he hadn't listened, but rather that he had heard the words, yet he couldn't leave the well. It was like someone telling him that the sky was only this big, but there was a larger sky outside. But since Ning Beichen had never seen a larger sky, what use was it to tell him? He wouldn't believe it.

Yes! Ning Beichen hadn't believed it either. Although he hadn't left the well, he could leap to the well's edge and see a small portion of the sky outside.

"Never mind, these matters outside the darkness are no longer significant." Ning Beichen shook his head a few times, then lay down, squinting at Xiao Yi to Xiao Jiu as they practiced stances under the scorching sun, while the blonde woman attended to him.

"Alright, everyone can rest. Xiao Wu, you come out." Ning Beichen called out.

The nine people practicing stances ended their cultivation and stood obediently in front of Ning Beichen. Xiao Wu stepped forward alone. Many people assumed that the core of the King of Darkness consisted of You Yu, You Fu, and Tou Tie, the three strongest and most powerful individuals within the organization. However, in Ning Beichen's heart, Xiao Yi to Xiao Jiu were his core. Not the core of the King of Darkness, but Ning Beichen's own core. Xiao Yi to Xiao Jiu were all orphans whom Ning Beichen had found and trained from various orphanages. They were loyal only to Ning Beichen, not to the organization called the King of Darkness.

"What I'm teaching you is the Vajra Body, an extremely powerful defensive technique. Xiao Wu, activate the technique." Ning Beichen walked up to him and said.

"Yes, Brother Chen." Xiao Wu's body trembled, and his skin took on a color like gold dust. At this moment, Ning Beichen snapped his fingers. The blonde woman brought an AK-47 and handed it to Ning Beichen. Ning Beichen picked up the AK, disengaged the safety, and then unleashed a barrage of gunfire at Xiao Wu.

*Da da da...*

Gunshots rang out, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, and shell casings fell continuously. All the bullets hit Xiao Wu's body. After Ning Beichen emptied a magazine, he casually tossed the AK-47 backward, and it landed accurately in the blonde woman's hands.

"Brother Chen, I... I'm not dead." Xiao Wu looked at the red marks on his body, his face filled with shock. However, it wasn't just him who was shocked; everyone else stood there dumbfounded. This was an AK-47, fired at such close range, and yet, apart from some red marks left by the bullets, Xiao Wu hadn't even bled a drop.

"See? This is the ability of the Vajra Body." Ning Beichen said to them. "And this is only the first level of the Vajra Body. The Vajra Body has three levels. The first level is like Xiao Wu's, capable of withstanding ordinary bullets. Of course, if the number of bullets is too great, or if their power is too immense, Xiao Wu still can't endure it."

"Furthermore, the Vajra Body is not without its flaws. If a bullet hits the eyes or the head, it can still be very dangerous. So, don't truly believe you are invincible to blades and bullets."

"As for the second and third levels of the Vajra Body, they are beyond your current capabilities. Therefore, my requirement is that you master the first level of the Vajra Body and be able to use it at the first sign of danger."

"Yes, Brother Chen, we will definitely work hard." Xiao Yi to Xiao Jiu replied loudly.

"Alright, you can continue your cultivation. I have some matters to attend to during this period, so I won't be able to guide you." After Ning Beichen finished speaking, he waved his hand, telling them to go and rest.

"Brother Chen, are you really going to meet that Qiao San?" After Xiao Yi to Xiao Jiu left, the blonde woman asked with some worry.

"What are you worried about? Worried that I won't be Qiao San's match?" Ning Beichen looked at her with a smile.

"No, no, it's not that. I'm not doubting you, Brother Chen, but that Chen Que dared to betray you. Could he have some backing?" The blonde woman hurriedly explained. Chen Que was the hidden operative from before. As a hidden operative, he couldn't possibly be unaware of Ning Beichen's abilities. Since he knew Ning Beichen's capabilities and still dared to betray him, it meant he had some scheme or some support.
