Not long after.

“Sir, it’s that courtyard!” Feng Jiuge and Jiang Ning appeared alone on the street, pointing toward the courtyard ahead.

As for those who had followed, they were all hiding in the alleyway behind the two, waiting for Jiang Ning’s command.

At that moment,

Jiang Ning looked in the direction Feng Jiuge was pointing.

He saw the courtyard gate wide open and two small-statured beggar children, one with both eyes blind, the other with both ears chopped off, walking back inside.

Following Jiang Ning’s gaze, Feng Jiuge spoke again, “Sir, this is one of the ways the Black Tiger Gang makes money! They maim children and use privileges to send these children into the Inner City, exploiting the sympathy of the wealthy to beg for money.”

“Does nobody care about this?” Jiang Ning’s brows furrowed.

“Who would care?” Feng Jiuge sighed slightly and continued, “It’s not uncommon in big cities! If they are born clean and attractive, they are taken to pleasure houses to be raised.”

“If not, then they end up like the two children who just went in.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning silently shook his head.

In his past life, he had only read about such things in books.

In ancient times, the so-called beggar gangs often engaged in such practices.

He had not expected to witness it with his own eyes.

“Sir, shall we take action now? And take care of these poor children in passing!” Feng Jiuge spoke up, noticing that Jiang Ning had developed a sense of compassion.

“No rush,” Jiang Ning said calmly, shaking his head.

Then he closed his eyes.

In a flash,

His spiritual power spread out, covering a hundred meters ahead.

A hundred meters was just enough to cover three-quarters of the courtyard.

The next moment,

Some mist appeared in the air invisible to the naked eye.

The mist, mingling with the heavy snowfall, didn’t seem out of place.

Under its cover, he instantly saw the interior of the entire courtyard.

He also saw a hidden tunnel in a corner.

The water vapor drifted into the tunnel, extending his senses.

Soon,

He completely grasped the entire situation within the tunnel.

“As expected, it’s here!” Jiang Ning silently noted upon seeing the god statue that was a zhang tall.

At this point, after a comprehensive understanding of the tunnel, he knew, just as Feng Jiuge had said, that the courtyard’s tunnel was a stronghold of the God Worship Sect.

And this God Worship Sect stronghold was so close to the city outskirts for a reason.

A tunnel had been dug underneath, aiming to reach outside the city.

And this tunnel was almost completed; in a few days, it could be thoroughly breached.

It wasn’t hard to infer from the situation in the tunnel.

The God Worship Sect intended to transport the idol out of the city.

The next moment,

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

“Call the men, surround this courtyard, and let no one escape!”

“Yes, sir!” Feng Jiuge immediately nodded in compliance.

…

On the other side,

Upon receiving the signal, Guardian Xing hurriedly rushed to his post.

In the mist of the heavy snow,

His figure was like a ghostly apparition,

Moving without making much sound through the snow.

The faint noise was quickly muffled by the snowfall,

And his footprints were soon covered.

…

“Who is it?” alerted by the noise outside, two men quickly drew swords and rushed out from inside.

“Take them down!” Jiang Ning waved his hand.

Xie Xiaojiu immediately unsheathed her sword without hesitation.

Sword light like a rainbow!

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

With two screams, the sound of falling blades followed with a clang.

The commotion instantly stirred up the entire courtyard.

Jiang Ning, however, did not care and continued walking straight ahead.

His team members behind him had already subdued the two sword-brandishing men who had rushed over.

Meanwhile,

“Who dares to cause trouble on Black Tiger Gang’s turf, tired of living?” someone, with a bluff and bluster, brandished a blade and charged out from a nearby house.

Spotting Jiang Ning and his group, they knew these were not people to be trifled with.

At this moment, the burly man who had been prepared earlier also charged out.

“Gang Leader!”

“Gang Leader!”

“Gang Leader!”

“…”

His subordinates around him began to speak, their faces showing respect.

“I’ve seen Commander Jiang…” the burly man started to say.

Jiang Ning had already waved his hand, “Take action, take them all! Kill any resisters!”

“Yes, sir!” Xie Xiaojiu and Feng Jiuge immediately responded.

The next moment,

Xie Xiaojiu’s sword light flashed, directed straight at the burly man.

Feng Jiuge also shouted, “The Commander has ordered, none who resist shall be spared!”

With this call,

More than ten team members waiting outside climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

“Commander Jiang, you are being too tyrannical!!” Exclaimed the formidable Gang Leader of the Black Tiger Gang, his face turning pale.

Then, he found himself unable to speak further.
