RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 1111 - Chapter 1120

"Come over quickly to the address I'm going to text you soon!" Tang Xiu ordered faintly. "Keep in mind not to act ostentatiously and just come by yourself."

After half an hour, a black Audi parked next to Tang Xiu. After the driver's door was opened, the black-suited Chen Zhizhong strode to Tang Xiu and spoke, "Why are you in Liangang, Master?"

"That's the question I wanna ask you too," replied Tang Xiu.

"I found the secret of an old friend and I've been following him secretly. That's why I came to Liangang," said Chen Zhizhong. "Also, there are many special people gathering in a certain place in Lianggang. It's a private club called Golden Coast. I'm going to find this old friend of mine to settle our feud once their party is over."

"Is your old friend Guo Tao, by any chance?" asked Tang Xiu with squinted eyes.

Chen Zhizhong looked surprised, but he shook his head and said, "It's not him, but Wen Feng."

Tang Xiu's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me about this Wen Feng, Guo Tao, and that group of special people from all over who are at that Golden Coast now. Tell me everything about them."

"My guess is that they are all members of the Darkwind organization, Master," said Chen Zhizhong. "Further, today must be the important three-year meeting of what they call "Nether Swap, or Shifting Location" for the Darkwind organization in China. So, these people who came to the Golden Coast today should be the heads of the Darkwind in various provinces and cities across the country."

'The Darkwind?'

Killing intent flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes as he asked again, "What is this Nether Swap or Shifting Location, exactly?"

"It's the name of an important meeting that happens every three years." Chen Zhizhong explained, "As the name implies, the person in charge of each province will exchange position with the head of other provinces, as with those who are in charge of a city with another city. The entirety of the Darkwind organization's structure and members will be completely disrupted and reshuffled, becoming responsible for new places."

"Why do they do this, though? Isn't it very troublesome?" Tang Xiu wondered.

"It's to prevent members of the organization from secretly developing their own private force," said Chen Zhizhong.

"But how do you know so much about this matter?" Tang Xiu asked inquisitively.

Chen Zhizhong fell into silence for a moment and then forced a smile. "Master, I actually used to have a lot of contact with Wen Feng and Guo Tao, and we even had some important issues happening then. 10 years ago, both of them looked for me, hoping to buy several precious herbs from me. We became friends after constant contact. Moreover, all three of us are martial artists, so our friendship continually got better since we got something in common. We then burned the yellow paper, drinking our blood to be sworn brothers then.

"Yet, Wen Feng's mind is like a fox full of schemes and intrigues. The more I interacted with him, the more I found that I didn't understand him; whereas Guo Tao is a man you can literally call ruthless. In public, he shows himself as a steady and successful man, but he changes into a wholly different man, just like when he gets drunk or when he has a fight with others."

Up to this point, Chen Zhizhong then took out a half-pack of cigarettes. He took one from it and handed one to Tang Xiu. He lighted it up for Tang Xiu and lit one for himself. After taking a puff, he went on, "On one occasion, Guo Tao got drunk and blabbered about the Darkwind organization as well as his position as the Head of the Shaanxi branch. He also told me that Wen Feng is the supervisor in Liangang—which the latter then found out and then tried to get rid of me. I've had a lot of clashes with them secretly, and I even thought of hiring two martial arts grandmasters to protect me for a while. The two of them dare not let others know the exposure of their identity, let alone by their superior leaders in the Darkwind organization. They were then negotiated for me to keep their secret and they'll no longer send people to kill me."
