Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 55: Remnants of the Dragon King Gang

"By the way, you still need to be a bit careful lately."

"Although the Dragon King Gang has indeed toppled, most of the higher-ups have fled to the Prefecture City."

"However, a small group of the core members have already escaped to the surrounding areas, seemingly turning into bandits."

"Furthermore, they have become fugitives now and lost their source of income."

"So recently, these remnants of the Dragon King Gang have been robbing us fishermen."

"It’s said that several people have already been killed."

At this time, a fisherman immediately reminded Jiang Fan.

Although the Dragon King Gang has indeed collapsed, even a worn-out boat still has three nails.

The Red Eyebrow Army couldn’t possibly kill every single person in the Dragon King Gang.

In the midst of chaos, some people managed to escape and now lie in wait around the area.

This has also become a hidden threat to the fishermen.

"Robbers, huh?"

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows.

In the past, he might have been somewhat worried.

But ever since advancing to the Bone Forging Realm, things have changed completely.

Even the former strength of the Dragon King Gang Leader was nothing much.

Even if some remnants escaped, their strength is probably mediocre and can’t really touch him.

If they don’t come to provoke him, it’s fine; but if they try, it’s a dead end for them.

So he didn’t worry too much.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be cautious during this time, and those robbers probably won’t target me."

Jiang Fan chuckled.

"You’re right; it probably won’t be that unlucky."

"But it’s still wise to be careful."

The group of fishermen immediately laughed.

After chatting for a while, they started selling fish in the fish cage.

Jiang Fan did the same.

The fish were freshly caught and very fresh, and the market was crowded.

It didn’t take long for the fish he caught to sell out quickly; it was quite a harvest.

Meanwhile, he exchanged the money for some pork, beef, rice, vegetables, and more.

Although his cellar was indeed stocked with a considerable amount of food now, his appetite increased further as he advanced to the Bone Forging Realm.

So whenever he has the chance to purchase large quantities of food, he wouldn’t miss it.

Soon, the Upturned Boat was loaded full of food.

It was a fruitful return.

"Hmm? What’s going on? Why is there killing intent?"

Suddenly, Jiang Fan squinted his eyes. As a Bone Forger Realm Martial Artist, his five senses became increasingly acute, especially in detecting malice and killing intent.

In fact, while buying food at the fish cage earlier, he sensed some malicious presence among the crowd.

Unquestionably, someone has set their sights on him.

"Could it be robbers?"

"I only showed a little bit of money."

"Yet I’ve attracted criminals."

"In these tumultuous times, having no money means starving to death; having money means being targeted by criminals."

"Only strength can truly ensure one’s safety."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, feeling the strong flowing power within him, instantly giving him a sense of security.

If those criminals don’t appear, it’s fine; but once they do, they will learn his power.

So he remained calm as if he hadn’t noticed anything.

Until he steered the Upturned Boat away, the criminals didn’t seem to show up.

Perhaps they were wary of the crowd here and didn’t dare to act.

......

At this moment, in the fish cage, some people had indeed fixed their gaze on Jiang Fan, their eyes displaying a hint of ferocity.

They looked like wolves starved for a long time.

But they didn’t make a move; instead, they memorized Jiang Fan’s appearance and left the fish cage silently.

Finally, these people zigzagged their way to a nearby hidden cave.

Inside, there were five or six burly men, strong-bodied, with fierce expressions.

They were remnants of the Dragon King Gang.

Among them, the leader was none other than Wei Teng, a prominent figure in the Dragon King Gang and a Refined Flesh Realm Martial Artist. freēwēbnovel.com

Since the downfall of the Dragon King Gang, they wandered like lost dogs, hiding everywhere.

Afraid of being caught by the Red Eyebrow Army, thus meeting their death.

At the same time, they feared the villagers’ reports.

After all, they took advantage of and oppressed the virtuous when they were members of the Dragon King Gang.

Countless villagers hated them to the bone.

Now, knowing that the Dragon King Gang was in trouble, the villagers certainly wouldn’t help; instead, they’d add insult to injury.

So during this time, they’ve been hiding, fearing discovery by nearby fishermen.

"How is it?"

"Did you find out which fisherman is wealthy?"

Wei Teng spoke, looking at his subordinates.

Earlier, he sent his men to infiltrate the fish cage and observe the surrounding fishermen.

Specifically searching for those affluent fishermen.

Then, under the cover of night, they could go to the fishermen’s homes, rob them, and make a windfall.

Being members of the Dragon King Gang, apart from robbing, they had no other means of survival.

Continuing like this would surely lead to starvation.

So sacrificing an outside wayfarer was better than starving oneself.

He chose to rob the fishermen.

Of course, he had to pick the fishermen carefully.

If they were impoverished, naturally, he wouldn’t steal from them.

For their homes barely had rice; even mice avoided them.

Going there would serve no purpose; naturally, they robbed those wealthy fishermen.

"Lord Wei, we spent a day and found quite a few people."

"There are plenty of wealthy fishermen."

"In today’s market, those fishermen made a fortune."

"There’s a young fisherman named Jiang Fan."

"This lad made a huge catch today, earning a lot."

"And he took the chance to buy a lot of food."

"If we rob this guy, we can surely meet our food needs for over ten days."

A subordinate revealed a greedy look in his eyes.

They’d been hiding in the cave, starving for a long time.

Their need for food was more pressing than for silver taels.

In these chaotic times, food is more precious than gold.

"Besides him, we’ve also found over a dozen other fishermen."

"They all seem quite wealthy."

"Tonight we can raid these fishermen’s homes."

The group of subordinates discussed animatedly.

They targeted not only Jiang Fan but also many other fishermen.

After all, they had large appetites, not easily satisfied.

"Good, in that case, we’ll set off tonight."

"Visit these fishermen’s homes."

"Those fishermen think now that the Dragon King Gang is gone, they can have good days; they’re dreaming."

"All their earnings belong to us."

"In this world, only fists count as logic."

Wei Teng smirked grimly, his body radiating a faint killing intent.

His other subordinates nodded in agreement.

Soon, late at night.

Wei Teng and his group quietly infiltrated Osmanthus Village.

They already knew where Jiang Fan’s home was.

So it was easy for them to reach the place.
