Cultivators Are So Weak in This World-Chapter 75 - 74. The Way of the World, Part 2

Zhang Rongfang retraced the entire course; the only possibility was the secret passage route and the residence where he exited the secret passage.

These were the two places where he stayed the longest.

"Black Ten Sect, indeed, can’t be underestimated."

The decline in life attributes, he wasn’t sure if it was permanent, so he could only wait and see.

If it was permanent, then this time it was a big loss.

Since he was poisoned, Zhang Rongfang simply went to work and returned home every day as usual, without any further moves.

He indeed fought his way to the headquarters of the Black Ten Sect, but due to his stealth and speed, the experts of the Black Ten Sect couldn’t surround him. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

In the end, he successfully assassinated Basari, achieving the set goal.

The only regret was not being able to eliminate all eyewitnesses from Basari’s mouth.

But on careful thought, it’s no big deal.

After all, no one knew he was the one who killed Basari.

Thus, Zhang Rongfang maintained the status quo while quietly observing the situation of the Black Ten Sect.

To his surprise, the Black Ten Sect fell into a power struggle for the elder positions after Basari’s death.

Tan Yang’s Black Ten Sect had three elder positions in total, with Basari being the grand elder.

Now that he’s dead, they needed to fill an elder position.

And for the grand elder position, they had to choose from the second and third elders.

That’s where the problem arose.

The second and third elders were not easy to deal with, as the factions they represented vied for power, causing quite a commotion.

In a few days, several lives were even lost.

In East City and South City, and among the small gangs they controlled, brawls broke out, injuring many.

Zhang Rongfang, leading a team with others, also handled a related case.

During this time, he wasn’t truly idle.

Firstly, his life attributes slowly recovered.

Secondly, regarding that female expert from the Black Ten Sect that night, he finally got the information.

"Brother Zhang, here’s the information you wanted."

Li Huoyun plopped onto the stone bench in the yard, handed over the notebook in his hand, and then grabbed a bunch of grapes, quickly eating half.

"I’m parched, why is the weather getting drier?"

"You don’t know how much I begged my father for this information. Now that I finally got it, Brother Zhang, don’t forget your promise to me."

"Don’t worry, since I promised you, I’ll definitely fulfill it." Zhang Rongfang sighed, took the notebook, and set it aside.

"Is the information on experts above the sixth rank in the Black Ten Sect that confidential?" he asked in confusion.

"What’s public isn’t confidential, it’s the information on hidden experts. Plus, during this time, my father has been overwhelmed with worries and issues." Li Huoyun said helplessly.

"Why? Is it a serious secret?" Zhang Rongfang had long noticed that the higher-ups in Tan Yang seemed to be on high alert about something, making everything extremely tight-lipped.

For Li Ran, at least an eight-rank jail warden, to be so cautious, it’s definitely not a small matter.

"Actually, it’s nothing confidential; the higher-ups who need to know already know." Li Huoyun shook his head.

"Recently, Tan Yang had a blacklisted expert. That expert even killed over a dozen patrolling officers on the street.

Fortunately, there haven’t been any more incidents since. Otherwise... it would have been a big mess."

"A blacklisted expert?" Zhang Rongfang squinted his eyes, intrigued.

He had gradually climbed up into the ranks of ordinary experts. In just a year and a half, he had achieved what takes others at least twenty years.

Now, his perspective and strength were much greater than before.

"Yes, and according to reports, not an ordinary blacklisted expert." Li Huoyun sighed. "Such a ruthless individual, may have killed more people than you and I have had meals. Who knows what she came here to do?"

"Tan Yang is just a small city in the Great Spirit, she might have already left for other cities by now." Zhang Rongfang reassured.

"True, here, have some grapes!"

The two of them shared a bunch, quickly finishing off the grapes on the table.

After chatting for a while, Li Huoyun got up to leave.

Once the courtyard door was fully closed.

Zhang Rongfang sat back on the stone bench, picked up the notebook, and gently opened it.

Soon, the Black Ten Sect expert information was laid out before him.

Anova was ranked first.

Anova’s Divine Dao Altar was the largest violent faction within the Black Ten Sect.

And she was also the leader of the Divine Dao Altar.

This woman had exceptional explosive power, making a name for herself three years ago by single-handedly killing two fifth-rank experts who invaded the Black Ten Sect base.

Afterwards, the state office, based on her past achievements, rated her as a seventh-rank.

"Seventh rank...as expected..."

Zhang Rongfang glanced below; besides Anova, there was another seventh-rank hidden expert within Tan Yang’s Black Ten Sect, along with three sixth-rank, and twelve fifth-rank; the fourth-rank and below weren’t documented due to high fluidity.

The Black Ten Sect controlled many small gangs, protecting numerous felons, making it hard to assess the experts.

The overt power lies here.

"To harbor so many felons, they must be bribing officials heavily every year." Zhang Rongfang didn’t need to think hard to understand that the Black Ten Sect was definitely backed by numerous bureaucrats.

He carefully reviewed the information in his hand.

The Black Ten Sect, the Lin family, and Sea Dragon, these three factions, were now entangled with him.

Thus, every step now had to be taken cautiously.

After reviewing the booklet briefly and memorizing the experts, Zhang Rongfang put away the booklet and hid it in the study.
