Atlas of Heaven and Man

At ten o'clock in the evening, a dozen modified convertibles belonging to the Blood Scar Gang drove into Xiuyi Street.

At this hour, there were no pedestrians on the wide road, only streetlights illuminating the surroundings. These vehicles made no attempt to conceal their presence, shouting loudly, and some even fired shots into the sky, displaying extreme arrogance.

"Boss, it's this one."

The leader pointed to a martial arts training hall in the distance that was still lit up. It was a riverside building, occupying a large area, surrounded by a concrete wall and iron gate.

Zhuo Bao glanced at it and gestured. The cars stopped immediately, and the long line of vehicles behind them also came to a halt one after another. The gang members inside couldn't wait to jump out of the cars, armed with their weapons. About forty or fifty gang members slowly gathered towards the martial arts training hall.

The martial arts training hall had night patrols, but there were only a few of them, five in total. Seeing so many Blood Scar Gang members approaching, they became very nervous and retreated behind the gate wall at the entrance, aiming their crossbows at the outside.

After Zhuo Bao got out of the car, he walked at the forefront. He felt a fire burning in his chest at this moment, growing stronger and stronger, eager to vent it immediately. He stretched out his hand, and the leader quickly handed him a gun.

Zhuo Bao walked a few steps forward with the gun in his hand, stood still in front, then raised the gun and fired three shots into the sky, shouting towards the training hall in front: "Chen Chuan, come out…"

However, before he could finish his words, a gunshot rang out from the building diagonally opposite, the muffled sound exploding like thunder on the empty road.

Zhuo Bao's movements froze. A large hole appeared in his forehead. His body swayed, and he fell straight backward.

Upon hearing the gunshot, the leader was wondering which bastard was firing a gun at this time, trying to steal the boss's thunder, as if they didn't want to live anymore? But then he saw Zhuo Bao falling to the ground in front of him, and he was immediately stunned. Not only him, but all the gang members around were dumbfounded.

At this moment, another sharp whistle sounded, and patrol officers from the Public Security Bureau emerged from the shadows on both sides of the street, raising their Datuo-style rifles and aiming them at the Blood Scar Gang members, then pulling the triggers.

"Bang, bang, bang…"

For a time, gunshots rang out on the street, and in the dark night, the muzzle flashes were particularly conspicuous, visible even from across the street.

The gunfire lasted for more than two minutes. When it stopped, the street was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and none of the dozens of Blood Scar Gang members were still standing.

Xiao Wu walked out from under the eaves of a building on one side with a pistol in his hand. When he passed a gang member who was still twitching, he shot him in the head. The man immediately stopped moving. He walked around and shot all the Blood Scar Gang members who were not dead.

After confirming that there were no survivors, he came to Zhuo Bao, pointed the gun at his head, and then pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing all the remaining bullets in one breath.

He raised his head and instructed a patrol officer, "Call the Blood Scar Gang to collect the bodies. Tell them to behave themselves and not provoke people they shouldn't."

"Yes."

After the patrol officer made a call in the phone booth, he said, "Squad, fall in!"

With a sharp whistle, the patrol officers came out and formed a neat line, jogging towards the other end of the street. The sound of military boots on the ground could be heard, gradually fading away.

Inside the martial arts training hall, Chen Chuan was calmly wiping his long saber. He had ignored the commotion outside. Today, when he returned from Lakeside Park, he noticed that the Public Security Bureau had strengthened the night patrols here, guessing that it was arranged by his uncle.

This should be because they heard about his attack, so they sent people to protect him, and at the same time, to issue a warning to the instigator behind the scenes.

And what happened here was quickly learned by those who were paying attention.

"What? He was taken out?"

Shao Xiaobie looked somewhat surprised and nervous after hearing the butler's report. "The Public Security Bureau did it? They intervened?"

The butler reassured him, "Young Master, don't worry. This was done by the Blood Scar Gang, and it has nothing to do with us. That trainee is the son of a Public Security Bureau officer. It seems that after the last attack, the Public Security Bureau strengthened patrols in that area, and Zhuo Bao was just unlucky enough to run into them."

"It's good that it has nothing to do with us."

Shao Xiaobie relaxed, but he was also very troubled. In this way, even an idiot would know to strengthen their defenses. How could this matter be handled?

He felt that he really had no way to deal with it, but he had a good habit. If he felt that he couldn't do it, he would never take it upon himself. He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Wei, yes, it's me, Xiaobie. Alas, I'm sorry, brother. The people I sent couldn't take him out. Now the protection there is tight, and I can't think of any other moves…"

On Wei Jun's side, although he felt that Shao Xiaobie was a good-for-nothing who couldn't even handle this little thing and made such a big commotion, he still needed people like this. So, he didn't blame him on the surface, only saying, "Xiaobie, I appreciate your efforts. I'll arrange this matter. You don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, okay, Brother Wei, just let me know if you need anything."

After Wei Jun hung up the phone, he sat there with a sullen face and thought for a long time. Finally, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number in the central city. After a while, it was connected.

"Hello, Teacher Tan? Your student hopes that you can take action to eliminate someone for me. This time, the student can pay for the teacher's implantation surgery. Teacher, you can propose any conditions… Good, let's talk in person."

He waited in his villa until the afternoon of the next day when a car drove in from outside and stopped in front of the flower garden in front of the villa. First, Jing Lin stepped out, then opened the door at the back. Tan Wang, dressed in a foreign suit, then emerged and, led by the butler, headed into the villa.

Wei Jun saw this and waited in the study upstairs. When Tan Wang entered, he dismissed the butler and invited the latter to sit down.

Tan Wang sat down on the sofa and said playfully, "I said, as long as you are willing to join the Serpent Sect, you are one of us. As your guide, according to the sect rules, I can grant you a not-too-harsh request, and no extra reward is needed."

Tan Wang still maintained a smile on his face, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. Obviously, he also remembered what happened last time. Not only did he fail to recruit him, but he also got beaten up, and as a result, he had no face to stay in the academy.

Wei Jun understood him and continued, "Teacher, if I join the Serpent Sect, it's just one more disciple, which helps the sect, but not much. But after I go to the Central City main branch, I can take over the family business after graduation.

In addition to giving the Serpent Sect more financial support, I can promise to bear your future cultivation resources, Teacher. You might as well consider my conditions."

Tan Wang hummed. This condition was a bit interesting, but it could only go so far, because if the price was any higher, Wei Jun could definitely find someone else.

He considered it for a moment, chuckled, and said, looking up, "I agree. Where is the person?"

The butler immediately handed over a prepared file.

Tan Wang gestured for Jing Lin to take it, stood up, and said, "I will find time to make a move. After I'm done, I will return to Central City and wait for you to fulfill your promise." With that, he walked out.

Wei Jun went to the window, watching Tan Wang leave the villa and the car drive away. He immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Tan Wang was a third-level expert, and with him taking action, there would be no mistakes.

In fact, he knew that the Serpent Sect had always had this kind of business. Even if he offered a lower price, Tan Wang would agree. But he didn't want to get too entangled. It was already the end of August, and he had to resolve this matter before rushing to the Infinite Defense Certificate assessment and prevent things from going wrong.

After Tan Wang's car left, he took Chen Chuan's information and began to read it. Being beaten violently by He Xiaoxing was a humiliation he couldn't forget, so after returning, he had been thinking about ways to deal with this person.

It's just a pity that his money and offerings to the sect were not enough to exchange for the sect's full set of implants and secret transmissions. However, dealing with a small bug didn't require these. He just happened to have enough money, and he could do the next implantation surgery when he returned.

After he finished reading the recent information about Chen Chuan, he smiled playfully and glanced outside. He said to Jing Lin, "Go take a look at that lakeside park."

Not long after he changed his route, the Wei family's butler received the news and immediately reported to Wei Jun, "Young Master, the servants following him reported that Mr. Tan's car has turned around."

"He didn't return to his residence?"

"No, judging by the direction, he should be going to Luhuo Lake."

"Oh? Preparing to resolve the matter directly?" Wei Jun immediately perked up. He instructed, "Have someone keep an eye on him, watch him closely, and tell me the results immediately!"

"Yes, Young Master."

In front of the private training hall, Chen Chuan was walking out with a knife. After reaching the outside, he looked up and saw that the sky was dark and the weather was very sultry.

The security guard at the door said, "Brother Chen, look at the weather, it might rain soon."

Chen Chuan said, "I know."

With that, he walked out. The weather had been sultry for many days. At this time, many people were probably looking forward to a hearty rain.

More than twenty minutes later, he came to the lakeside park again. The corpse from three days ago had been cleaned up, but some remaining traces could still be seen.

At this moment, the wind began to blow, and the reeds by the lake surged and undulated, and the water surface rippled.

He had only been there for a while, and before he could start practicing, he heard the sound of a car in the distance. Turning his head to look, he saw two cars driving towards him. The one in the back stopped far away, while the one in the lead stopped about ten meters away from him.

The door opened, and Jing Lin, dressed in a foreign suit, stepped out of the car. Chen Chuan noticed that there were small, neat inlays on his face and neck, as if something had been implanted.

Jing Lin moved his wrist and slowly walked towards him, "Chen Chuan, you didn't expect it to be me, did you?"

He took off his gloves and threw them on the ground, revealing his hands covered with fine scales. "Last time I lost to you, I admit that I was careless, but this time I won't be."

He clenched his fist, "I will let you see my power. The humiliation you gave me, I will return it to you twice as much." As soon as he finished speaking, the soil under his feet flew up, and the grass leaves flew up, like an arrow leaving the string, rushing towards him.
