On the day Ren Qing was to meet the Forbidden Guards, the prolonged sweltering heat was suddenly replaced by a sweeping chill as a gloomy drizzle began to fall.
Ren Qing left the Government Office early in the morning, heading toward the South City.
He noticed that the number of Blood Dog Gang members on the streets had decreased significantly. Only outside the Flower House Casinos were men specifically assigned to stand guard.
This showed that the incident with the Mud Association was festering beneath the surface.
Although Ren Qing didn't know the specific details, the unexplained death of a Half-Corpse Realm Cultivator, with the Mysterious Object still missing, could not be explained away as a simple accident.
Once the Forbidden Guards intervened to investigate, the Blood Dog Gang and other gangs tacitly chose to back off.
For the gangs in Sanxiang City to survive, the one group they could not afford to offend was the Forbidden Guards.
