The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Dragon Spring Gang! Spring Moon House!

Feeling the killing intent radiating from Su Hao, the gray-clothed man’s eyes began to dart nervously, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, “Brother Wen, you’ve misunderstood. I mean you no harm. My name is Yuan Feng, and I was sent by our Dragon Spring Gang’s Deputy Gang Master, Zhang Yuquan, to invite you to a banquet he is hosting.”

At the same time, the gray-clothed man tensed up, aware that if Su Hao truly wanted to kill him, he would not just stand still and surrender; he would make every effort to escape.

“Dragon Spring Gang?”

The name sparked interest in Su Hao.

The Dragon Spring Gang was well-known in Evergreen City, involved in both legitimate and illicit businesses. Their Gang Master, Long Chen, was a renowned master of the Flying Dragon Fist, who, although often in seclusion lately and rarely appearing in public, still had a formidable reputation.

This gray-clothed man, Yuan Feng, claimed to be the second-in-command of the gang, sent to invite him to the banquet.

This left Su Hao feeling puzzled as he asked, “I, Wen Tailai, have no connections with Deputy Gang Master Zhang. Why would he want to invite me to a banquet?”

Yuan Feng quickly replied, “The Deputy Gang Master enjoys meeting heroes and champions. You, Brother Wen, have always been elusive, so he sent me to wait here in hopes of inviting you to chat.”

“Yuan Feng probably doesn’t have good intentions…” Su Hao quietly pondered.

If this invitation were genuine, why would they be so secretive and send someone skilled in lightness skills and concealment to follow him in the shadows? The previous version of Su Hao might not have noticed that someone was tracking him, but Yuan Feng likely underestimated Su Hao’s perceptive capability and didn’t expect his concealment skills to be discovered. Hence, he hastily came up with this excuse.

Of course, it was also possible that the other party intentionally tracked Su Hao to test his abilities, but that chance was slim.

“Damn it… does Wen Tailai have three eyes? My ‘Turtle Breath Technique’ is best at concealing presence, halting breathing and blood flow, yet he was still able to detect me?”

Feeling Su Hao’s intense gaze, Yuan Feng was filled with unease, cursing inwardly. His mission was to follow ‘Wen Tailai’, to see where he was hiding and who he really was. To his surprise, he found himself exposed, prompting him to quickly find an excuse.

Suddenly, Su Hao reined in his killing intent and looked at the tense Yuan Feng, asking, “Does your Deputy Gang Master have the Advanced Transforming Tendon Elixir Recipe?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Feng was taken aback, but he immediately nodded in response, saying, “Yes… of course! Our Dragon Spring Gang is one of the largest gangs in Evergreen City, with a deep foundation. We definitely have the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir!”

Yuan Feng was not lying; as a major gang in Evergreen City, the Dragon Spring Gang had several martial artists skilled in Transforming Tendon, so they certainly possessed recipes for advanced Transforming Tendon Elixirs.

Su Hao’s expression softened at this, and he spoke in a gentle tone, “To be honest, I need the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir. Since Deputy Gang Master Zhang has shown interest in me, it wouldn’t be polite for me not to accept the invitation. I am willing to attend the banquet and make a friend; I also ask that Deputy Gang Master Zhang prepare the recipe for the Transforming Tendon Elixir, and I am willing to exchange it for a substantial amount of money.”

This surprised Yuan Feng; did the other party actually believe he was here to invite him to a banquet?

However, Yuan Feng quickly recovered; after all, he was also a martial artist skilled in Transforming Tendon, and his psychological resilience was no ordinary matter. He promptly said, “Of course! I will relay the message. As for the banquet, it will take place tomorrow night at… Spring Moon House. Our Deputy Gang Master will definitely await your arrival.”

“Alright, I will be there on time,” Su Hao readily agreed.

“Then I shall take my leave for now.”

With that said, Su Hao did not linger and turned to leave decisively.

Watching Su Hao gradually fade into the darkness, Yuan Feng was somewhat stunned, thinking, “He really left? He genuinely believed what I said?”

Yuan Feng originally thought that the other party wouldn’t easily trust him and that he only had a slim chance of survival by taking a desperate gamble, but to his surprise, the other not only believed him but also readily agreed to attend the appointment.

“Regardless… that’s one life saved. I need to hurry back to report this to the Deputy Gang Master; let him decide what to do.”

Yuan Feng quickly composed himself and hurriedly left.

“That Zhang Yuquan sent someone to follow me doesn’t seem very friendly, but… he has what I want. It might be worth meeting him; if he is sincere, then I’ll make a friend and acquire the recipe for the advanced Transforming Tendon Elixir I desire. If he means no good…“Then don’t blame me for being merciless!”

After finishing his conversation with Yuan Feng, Su Hao set off, but he had his own thoughts in mind.

Yuan Feng, skilled in concealing his presence, was probably following him with ill intentions. However, Su Hao pretended to believe what he said, all while having other plans: he wanted to meet Zhang Yuquan in person and get what he desired from him!

Regardless of whether the other party had good or bad intentions, Su Hao was prepared to adapt.

His decision to attend the banquet was not due to arrogance, but rather confidence—confidence in his own strength!

Upon returning home, he spent a quiet night. When dawn broke, Su Hao went to the Forging Weaponry Workshop as usual to complete his work for the day. In the afternoon, during his break, he returned home modestly to rest for a while.

As darkness descended, Su Hao disguised himself and left his residence under the identity of ‘Wen Tailai’, navigating through back alleys to avoid pedestrians, heading towards the Spring Moon House.

Spring Moon House, located in Long An District of Evergreen City, was luxuriously decorated and magnificent. It had nine stories and was known for hosting famous courtesans that attracted many scholars, wealthy merchants, and nobles who lingered there. It was a well-known den of indulgence in Evergreen City.

From a distance, under the moonlight, the Spring Moon House appeared dazzling and breathtaking. Passersby on the street caught whiffs of the fragrant wine and alluring makeup from within, and listened to the enchanting music that echoed, filling their hearts with a mix of jealousy and admiration. This was a place of pleasure sought after by many, but unfortunately, it was not affordable for ordinary people!

As Su Hao arrived at the Spring Moon House, a lean man in gray stood waiting at the entrance. Upon spotting Su Hao from afar, the man’s eyes brightened, and he quickly approached, respectfully saying, “Brother Wen, our Deputy Gang Master has been waiting for a while. Please, let’s go upstairs to talk!”

The gray-clad man was Yuan Feng, whom Su Hao had met yesterday. While humbly inviting him, there was a glimmer of surprise in Yuan Feng’s eyes—did the other party really show up? Was he arrogant or just naïve?

“Lead the way.”

Su Hao uttered two words indifferently.

Yuan Feng immediately nodded and led Su Hao into the Spring Moon House.

In the main hall of Spring Moon House, many guests were enjoying tea and meals while captivated by the graceful figures of the dancing girls, accompanied by melodious music from the instruments, making it feel like a paradise.

However, Su Hao merely glanced around twice and remained unmoved. For him now, the pursuit was the pinnacle of martial arts, the ability to control his own fate. With unwavering will, a bit of wine and revelry could hardly stir his emotions!
