Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 189: Chapter 99: The King of Whales! Unparalleled Divine Bravery!_1

“Gang… Gang Leader!”

Meng Sang’s body trembled as he recalled the various events of the past.

When Meng Sang first joined the Giant Whale Gang at the age of five, compared to his impoverished origins, Sikong Yong was undoubtedly out of his reach, surpassing him in both family background and Martial Arts talent.

In front of Sikong Yong, Meng Sang felt an innate sense of inferiority, which is why he was so desperate to climb up the ranks, striving to snatch the position of Gang Leader! It was all because he wanted to prove himself—that if Sikong Yong could sit in that position, he could too!

However, now that Sikong Yong was standing alive before him, sweat involuntarily broke out on Meng Sang’s forehead: “Sikong Yong… is unharmed? Could it be that he had already ended his seclusion, just to deal with me, to rightfully eliminate me?”

Meng Sang could not help but feel that this might be a trap, a trap specially set by Sikong Yong for him, and now he was caught red-handed!

“Gang… Gang Leader, you’re really alright?”

It was only after a long while that Lei Jie, the Hall Master of Thunder Whale Hall, came to his senses, swallowing his saliva nervously as he spoke.

The others looked at each other in dismay. Sikong Yong’s appearance at this moment was beyond their expectations. It was precisely because they believed Sikong Yong had met with mishap that they supported Meng Sang to become the Gang Leader!

Su Changkong leaned back in the Whale Bone Chair, speaking indifferently, “In this Ink Forest Prefecture, what could possibly happen to me? I merely had a new understanding of Martial Arts and was immersed in it, that’s all.”

Su Changkong’s tone was indifferent, but it contained a vein of pride, suggesting that no one in Ink Forest Prefecture could pose a threat to him!

The crowd also strongly agreed with this sentiment. With Sikong Yong’s Martial Arts prowess, he was indeed one of the top figures in Ink Forest Prefecture City, truly someone no one could threaten. Perhaps it really was his insight into Martial Arts that led to his years of seclusion.

“But what about you all? Have you grown more capable? I’ve always valued ability over background and never practiced nepotism. Among you four Hall Masters, nearly half were personally promoted by me. And now, are you banding together to stage a rebellion?”

Su Changkong’s gaze swept around, passing over Zhao Tianhuo, the Hall Master of Fire Whale Hall, and Gao An, Hall Master of Electric Whale Hall.

In the Giant Whale Gang, the Sikong Family was the Leader Faction, with several successive Gang Leaders emerging from the Sikong Family. However, the Sikong Family truly did not treat the Giant Whale Gang as an autocracy, as many important positions were held by those with merit.

Among the four great Hall Masters, not a single one came from the Sikong Family!

Upon Su Changkong’s statement, both Gao An and Zhao Tianhuo showed signs of panic and guilt on their faces. They had been promoted by Sikong Yong, but with Sikong Yong in seclusion for so many years, they had supported Meng Sang, which was indeed not justifiable!

“I… I didn’t know that the Gang Leader…” Gao An, tall and lanky, stammered, unable to articulate his words. They had all believed that Sikong Yong was in trouble, which is why they supported Meng Sang.

Sikong Wen thought to himself with delight: “Little Friend Su’s aura is truly strong, as if Yong Er has come back to life, directly intimidating everyone present! Maybe he really can succeed!”

Su Changkong faced all the senior members of the Giant Whale Gang without a hint of stage fright, speaking measuredly. With just a few words, he made all the Hall Masters anxious and unable to refute. Of course, the key factor was the high prestige Sikong Yong once held.

“Meng Sang, not only did you harm two diligent Alchemists of our gang, one of them, Gong Zheng, has been serving the gang since before I was born. For decades, he never slacked off. He merely didn’t wish to take sides, and you harmed him for that?”

Su Changkong’s gaze fixed on Meng Sang, his eyes calm and his expression devoid of any ripples, but the words he spat out made Meng Sang’s body slightly tremble.

Gong Zheng, the former Alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang, had joined as a youth and concocted Pill Medicines for the gang. He was one of the oldest members in the gang, recognized by all disciples.

However, not long ago, due to his advanced age, Gong Zheng retired. But on the day he left, while still not far from the Giant Whale Gang, he was brutally murdered. At the time, it caused quite a stir in the gang, with everyone swearing to catch the murderer, but the matter eventually fizzled out.

Even though there was no evidence, many high-level members of the Giant Whale Gang understood the key point: Gong Zheng was killed because of his neutrality, for not choosing to pass his position to an Alchemist under Meng Sang’s control. It was Meng Sang’s act of retaliation, a warning to others.

Now that ‘Sikong Yong’ brought this matter up in public, Meng Sang’s heart clenched, wanting to refute, but was met with disdainful and ice-cold glares from all around, leaving him unable to utter a word!

Harming fellow gang members was a serious crime in any gang. Before, everyone turned a blind eye, but now that ‘Sikong Yong,’ the Gang Leader, had personally brought up the issue, it was as if a piece of paper had been torn!

“Not long after Master Gong met with trouble… Master Su, the Alchemist, had even greater talent than Master Gong, with a brilliant future ahead. Yet soon after, he mysteriously defected. It seems all these were Meng Sang’s doing.”

Some Deputy Hall Leaders thought to themselves.

With Gong Zheng gone, the new Alchemist, Master Su, was rumored to have defected shortly after. The one who took over Master Su’s position was Meng Sang’s subordinate, Liu Geng. Saying there was no issue here would be treating people like fools!

“Meng Sang, you come from humble origins, and I valued your ability, sponsoring your rise to the position of second in command. You desiring my position is not wrong – in the Giant Whale Gang, who doesn’t dream of occupying the Gang Leader’s throne? It belongs to the capable… But you should never have resorted to betraying your own kind, secretly colluding with Sea Pirates to achieve your goal!”
