Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 249 Conquer
In the Shanghai nightclub, where there is singing and dancing and a life of extravagance and decadence, the dancers on the stage sway their bodies and sing with their voices.

No one noticed that the owner of this nightclub, tycoon Boss Du and the future leader of the Tang Clan, were now extremely humble, just begging for mercy from one person.

Wang Yi sat there, looking at the two people with a very humble attitude. With his ability, he had already isolated the inside and the outside, preventing the people guarding outside from noticing the situation inside. For a moment, he did want to turn to Nai Yizut and kill the Boss Du in front of him.

Because what he said was not wrong. Even if he had his own warnings, Boss Du was not a good person. If we judge by his deeds rather than his heart, he has received mixed reviews from later generations, with some even receiving more criticism than praise.

But now...
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yi also spoke.

"Boss Du, do you mind if I chat with Young Master Yang?"

"Mr. Wang, please do as you please. I, Du, will not go anywhere. I will wait for Mr. Wang's decision."

"You can't go to Shanghai either. If I really want to kill you, it's useless even if you hide in Nanjing."

Wang Yi stood up and left. Yang Lie also glanced at the big customer next to him who had signed a long-term protection business with the Tang Sect, and then followed him.

The two men left one after another, and Boss Du finally slumped in his seat as if he had been pardoned, his clothes instantly soaked with sweat.

But he had no choice but to wait here for Wang Yi's final judgment. Just as Wang Yi said, if he wanted to kill him, it would be useless no matter where he hid.

On the rooftop of the nightclub, Yang Lie, the future leader of the Tang Sect, took off his suit and put it on, then sat down next to Wang Yi. He did not show any sign of a Tang Sect killer ready to kill at any time.

Wang Yi also put his hands behind his back, letting the night wind blow their clothes.

"Master Yang, I haven't seen you for so many years. You have changed a lot and don't like to talk as much anymore."

"I've seen so much life and death over the years that I don't have much to say. If you want to find someone to chat with, there's another fellow apprentice in our sect named Xu Xin, who is at an age that is hated by gods and ghosts."

"Xu Xin? How much younger than you?"

"One quick round."

"Forget it then."

"You called me up here just to talk about all this nonsense? Well, I want to ask you, ever since Fengtian had a fight with the Japanese and the former Qing nobles, you disappeared and there is no news of you in the martial arts world. Where have you been?"

"I stayed in the West for a few years, drank some Western ink, made some Western friends, and learned about Taoism, which helped me to further my practice."

"That's not surprising. No wonder I felt you were more dangerous to me than the old master the first time I saw you. But is there a way in the West?"

"The great way does not distinguish between east, west, south, and north. Although we are a central country, we have to learn some principles to help ourselves grow."

"That's indeed your style. If there's anything you want to know from me, just ask. I'll tell you everything I know."

"During the years I was away, has there been any major incidents in our family's underworld?"

"There are quite a few, but only a few of them can be called major events."

"All ears."

"At the end of the 19th year of the Republic of China, Tianshi Zhang Jingqing, in the name of the 64th successor of the Han Tianshi, expelled his eldest disciple Zhang Zhiwei from the sect and announced to the world that Longhu Mountain had nothing to do with Zhang Zhiwei anymore, and that no matter what troubles he caused, Longhu Mountain should not be involved. Now the Tianshi lives in seclusion in the Tianshi Mansion, and all affairs are handled by his disciples Zhang Enpu and Zhang Huaiyi and their group of high-ranking officials. After being expelled from Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei also disappeared from the martial arts world and his whereabouts are unknown."

"In the same year, the head of the Trinity Sect, the Immortal Zuo Ruotong, announced that he would be in seclusion. All affairs of the sect were to be handled by the eldest disciple Wu Chengzhen and his junior disciple Si Chong."

"Also, in the Fengtian Duel, Wu Gensheng, who represented Quan Xing to meet you, seems to have become the acting leader of Quan Xing now. Many of the elders of Quan Xing respect him."

These three things, not big or small, are all related to Wang Yi.

After listening to this, Wang Yi also analyzed the importance of these three things in his mind.

Wang Yi had never heard of Zhang Zhiwei being expelled from the sect in the original timeline. The only similar news was that after the two Zhangs performed martial arts, the Taoist priest asked Zhang Zhiwei to go down the mountain and not to use any means to experience the various aspects of life.

But to be honest, in just one year, especially in the province where Longhu Mountain is located, how much of life could he experience? It would be better for him to be expelled from the sect directly this time.

It seems that the operation of expelling the junior Zhang Lingyu from the sect was learned by Old Zhang from Old Zhang, so it is a continuation of the tradition.

As for the fact that the Left Gate Chief of the Sanyi Sect was in seclusion, Wang Yi guessed that it was related to the Three Gates Protection Method he had previously provided to the Sanyi Sect. The Left Gate Chief had practiced for so many years, and his talent was obvious.

He has probably realized the key to breaking through the third level and is currently verifying it.

As for Wu Gencheng, the leader of Quan Xing, it is normal. This guy would go down this path whether he has his own way or not. We don't need to pay attention to him for now. We should put the matter of Sanyi Sect first.

Zhang Zhiwei disappeared from the martial arts world, and his whereabouts are unknown? What a joke, given Lao Zhang's talent, his previous spoilers, and the Tianshi Mansion's operations, Wang Yi can tell where Lao Zhang is now with just a little thought.

Tsk, let this kid get on the fast lane first!
Find some time to meet Lao Zhang and test him out.

Wang Yi went over the three things in his mind and ranked them in order before he continued speaking.

"Let's talk about the recent war at the beginning of the year. Were you there?"

"Of course I am. Boss Du has signed a long-term deal with the Tang Sect. Every year, the sect will rotate people to protect him. This year, it's me."

"You're not in the business of killing people anymore?"

"It's temporarily stopped. The head of the sect said that the world is now a world of proving right and wrong. There is no reason for the Tang Sect to intervene in this dispute. So we simply stopped the business of killing people and did some business of guaranteeing people to make a living." "Tang Sect Head Gao Yi, then tell me what you think about this war."

"What do you think? If we fail to deal with it in time, it will be nothing more than a replica of the Fengtian Incident, and the feint attack may turn into the main attack. However, we can stop it for a while, but not forever. The fall of the areas outside the Great Wall will only happen this year or the beginning of next year. After we take over the areas outside the Great Wall, what's next?"

Having said that, Yang Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Tang Sect's hand dagger appeared in his hand. He suddenly slashed it in the air, and a mosquito flying in front of him broke into two halves and flew away in the wind.

"Young Master Yang has seen through it. Yes, the Japanese's evil ambitions are obvious, but the authorities are trying to cover up their mistakes. I already know the outcome of the war. What I want to ask is whether our people took action in this war, and whether the Japanese took action."

"The three Putuo temples suffered heavy losses."

The Three Putuo Temples refer to the three temples built on Putuo Mountain during the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, namely Puji, Fayu and Huiji.

"Are these three coming from Mount Putuo?"

"They are the closest to us, and we are in danger of losing our teeth. However, no matter how powerful they are, they are still mortals and cannot withstand the Japanese planes. I don't know whether the Japanese took action or not, but as far as I know, the three Putuo temples were attacked by Japanese planes on the way to help, and suffered heavy losses."

"I understand, thank you for letting me know."

"It's just a piece of cake. So, Boss Du, how are you going to deal with him?"

"Don't worry, Master Yang. I promise I won't make things difficult for you or the Tang Sect."
-
Inside the box, Boss Du was anxiously waiting for his own end. As the door opened and Wang Yi and Yang Lie came back, the big boss couldn't help but want to stand up.

But then an invisible force also fell on him, making him unable to move.

It’s that familiar operation again.

"Boss Du, are you anxious?"

"Mr. Wang, please give me a quick death."

"I heard from Master Yang that you organized your disciples to deliver supplies to the front line during the war at the beginning of the year?"

"That's right. They are both dogs. I know how to choose, whether to be a dog for our own people or for the Japanese."

"What about outside the pass? Didn't you help?"

"I do want to, but I can't get through by land and sea. The Japanese warships are blocking my way by water, and my boss is watching me by land. I, Du, also want to tell Mr. Wang something from the bottom of my heart. In terms of means and opportunities, I am indeed not as powerful as my boss, but in terms of vision and perspective, haha..."

A haha, everything is said without words.

"Then, Boss Du, why don't you tell me what your boss asked you to do since the 17th year of the Republic of China?"

"It's nothing more than eliminating dissidents, framing others, secretly killing people and sabotaging. Mr. Wang, who was a victim back then, reminded me that every time before the higher-ups asked me to take action, I would send my confidants to tip them off in advance, and I would let as many people as possible escape. But when the time came to take action, I, Du, had to do the job after I caught the person. Mr. Wang, your words back then have caused me, Du, to suffer in hell for the past few years. Please give me a quick death, Mr. Wang, and let me be free as soon as possible."

Boss Du cupped his hands, looking as if he was not afraid of life or death.

Wang Yi was also sitting there, watching Boss Du, who was retreating in order to advance, and was also considering the pros and cons.

His fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrests, and each tap seemed to hit Boss Du and Yang Lie's hearts. Soon Wang Yi made a decision.

"Boss Du, you have to pay for what you have done. You have done so many evil things, and you want to be freed like this. Isn't it too much to take it for granted?"

"Then what does Mr. Wang want me to do? Continue to work without putting in any effort? You've seen what's going on. I'm not a good person either way. Whoever wins will be held responsible."

"Don't use your boss's perspective to look at his opponent. The two sides are not on the same level. Some things are still unknown before the final outcome. In addition, after a while, I will move my business in Beijing here and become a neighbor of Boss Du."

"So you want it, Mr. Wang?"

"Continue to do your job well and keep the news flowing. As for the outside of the Great Wall, Boss Du is very powerful. Please help me find out how many people in the Great Wall are willing to help. You can come to Beijing to contact my Sitong Freight Company and I will help them do business."

"Can···"

"I know what you are worried about. I promise you, Boss Du, as long as you keep working without exerting too much effort and keep in the loop, it won't be a problem for you to leave with dignity and keep your family safe. Of course, you have to discipline your own offspring well, so that they don't leave you in the dark. Then I can't help you.

I have laid out the path for you. It is up to you, Boss Du, to choose. "

Faced with this mysterious young man in front of him and Yang Lie, a disciple of the Tang Sect who didn't dare to interrupt at all, Boss Du was a smart man and made a decision quickly.

"Okay, then I will trust Mr. Wang this time, and I hope Mr. Wang will remember the promise he made today."

"Don't worry, I'm not Sima Yi. When I do things, I always lay it out clearly and make a plan. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the people who listen and me. Boss Du, prepare yourself well. We will have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

With these words, Wang Yi once again displayed his prowess in front of Boss Du and Yang Lie.

His figure turned into a ball of white energy, covering the white clothes on his body, and slowly disappeared in the air until Yang Lie, a disciple of the Tang Sect, could no longer follow him.

"Mr. Yang?"

"Boss Du, don't look at me. With this guy's current level, I'm afraid that even if our Tang Sect uses all its strength, we may not be able to get any good from him. You'd better take care of yourself. I still have to report the news to the sect. There will be big changes in the future of the martial arts world."
