Lu Li's footsteps followed closely behind Jin Xian, stepping into the brightly lit black coloured buildings.

The deeper he went, the more Lu Li felt that this Ma Clan was not ordinary.

Even at the corner of the street, Lu Li could see a building with a small pink light hanging by the door. In front of the building were three to five big and tall middle-aged men, each of them holding onto a woman who was a bit lustful as they walked in.

After a while, an extremely large building suddenly appeared in the distance. Quite a few people were carrying large and small bags of oilcloth as they went in and out of the building.

"Brother Jin Xian, where is that building over there?"

That's the warehouse for goods. Our Ma Gang didn't do it for bandits. It's a black market on the borders of the Li Prefecture, but we manage it personally." As Jin Xian explained, a proud expression appeared on his face.

On the continent, there were many things that were prohibited from being sold, such as slaves, poisons, and so on. If any of these businesses were found out, they would be punished to death immediately. However, this kind of business had an irresistible windfall. Its profits were so huge that even if it was uniformly defined as a death sentence, there would still be people who would not hesitate to take risks for it.

What Lu Li did not know was that in these early years, the underground black market at the edge of Lizhou was just like a gang fighting to the death. Everyone wanted to steal business, so they just started fighting. A few vicious gangs each occupied their own territory, eyeing the other gangs covetously. Knowing that the Ma Gang had appeared, they improved this situation.

The methods of the Ma Gang were also simple and crude. The armed forces had forcefully suppressed them, and the merchants had to throw away their money!

Under this combination of kindness and might, at the border between Lizhou, the underground black market had completely become the property of the Ma Clan. Those gangs that had once fought to the point of death, had long since gotten used to being under the same roof as they smiled and took the money.

After passing by the warehouse, the two of them arrived at the tallest building in this area. The pavilion was about thirty stories high, and its surroundings were connected by a few suspension bridges. Beneath the suspension bridges were deep cliffs and flowing lava!

"Swish!" "Swish!"

After crossing the suspension bridge, they arrived at the bottom of the building. Suddenly, two black figures landed beside Lu Li, one on his left and one on his right, pressing down on Lu Li's shoulders.

"Who are you?" The black shadow checked if there were any dangerous goods on Lu Li's body as he asked.

"Who are you?" Lu Li did not resist and allowed the two to search his body.

"You again …" Hiss! Second Master, I deserve to die! "

Just as the other person was about to search Jin Xian's body, he recognized Jin Xian's face from his new cloak and immediately knelt down and greeted him respectfully.

"Get up, this brother Lu Li is my savior." Jin Xian waved his hand.

"Yes sir!"

Hearing that, the two of them immediately stepped aside, the leader of the horse gang's blood brother, the savior of second master Jin Xian, such a character could easily take their lives!

"Brother Lu Li, follow me."

After Jin Xian made a gesture of inviting him, he took the lead to walk towards the pavilion. Lu Li pursed his lips and nodded, then quickly followed.

Lu Li was quite shocked when he entered the building. From the outside, this thirty story building actually included everything up and down! Looking up, he could clearly see the towering dome!

In the entire pavilion, only the outer ring had floors and rooms. On the ground floor, there was a ten-meter-wide stage, and some sort of loudspeakers were set up on the stage, causing Lu Li's eardrums to hurt. On the stage, there were a few beautiful girls that were practically bare-chested, and were dancing hot and spicy.

"What do you think, Brother Lu Li? You sure are impressive, right?" Jin Xian grinned and laughed. As he said that, he took a woman, who was dressed very plainly, and hugged her tightly.

"Mm, not bad indeed."

Lu Li nodded.

Although this kind of scene was nothing in Lu Li's eyes, Lu Li did not expect the Ma Clan to actually have such a large scale, no wonder they could challenge City Lord's Mansion.

"May I know where is your brother? Could you introduce me? " After looking around for a moment, Lu Li then said unintentionally.

"Aiya, look at me, it's been a while since I last saw a woman, I forgot about what I was doing when I was excited. Come, come, brother Lu Li, come with me." Jin Xian suddenly smacked his forehead, and then he released the lady in his hand and led Lu Li to the higher levels, causing the lady to be disappointed.

Somewhere on the first floor, after Jin Xian's identity was revealed, only a few guards opened a door and went up the stairs all the way to the 20th floor of the pavilion.

"Brother Lu Li, fly. Furthermore, if you do not have the cultivation of Spirit Spring Water, you are not allowed to go up. "

Jin Xian pursed his lips, took the lead, stepped on the air, and flew higher.

Lu Li quickly followed along, and as they were walking up, Lu Li realized that there were many experts in the Ma Clan, and just the level up of the 20th floor, there were more than a hundred Spirit Spring experts, and Wu Xi whom Lu Li had met at the auction a few days ago was among them!

He flew all the way to the top floor of the pavilion, where he entered a single room that seemed to be surrounded by black glass. After confirming Jin Xian's identity, the old man at the peak of the Spirit Spring Realm opened the door and let the two in.

Upon entering, Lu Li saw a reclining chair across from him in the wide hall, on it was a tanned fat man, both hands were fumbling around with the dancers in front of him, the dancers were not only not resisting, instead, they were using all their strength to move their waists.

"Chief, Second Master is back." The old man who was walking in the front called out in a low voice.

"Oh? Second Bro is back? "Got it."

The black fatty nodded. After a moment, he didn't seem to be surprised at all. His body swayed in accordance with the rhythm of the music and his body blossomed with white flowers … Wait, that's not right. His body was trembling like the waves of water. Only when the music stopped did he grab a stack of notes that could be exchanged for gold coins, put it between the dancers' peaks, and turn around.

Lu Li finally saw his face clearly.

It was a bandit's cigarette in the left hand, and a glass of malt wine in the right hand. As he swaggered towards Lu Li, his lips were parted, and it was hard to tell which was the gold and which was the smoke from the other. Even with a mouthful of yellow teeth, it was hard to tell which one was the gold and which was the color of the malt wine.

He was the leader of the horse gang, Jin Tao.

"You were the one who rescued my brother?" Jin Tao took a deep breath of the bandit's smoke in his hand and spat it out towards Lu Li.

"Un, big brother Jin Tao, right? I am Lu Li. " Lu Li answered with a slight frown. Just as the intelligence had said, this Jin Tao was actually a powerhouse with a fifth stage Spirit Pool Realm.

"Big brother, Brother Lu Li is a true hero! Not only did he rescue me, he even managed to escape danger from the hands of that Elder Qin in City Lord's Mansion. His strength cannot be compared to ordinary Spiritual Spring Realm, I'm afraid his strength is not inferior to Brother Wu Xi!"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, Jin Xian immediately jumped out and explained.

"Is that true?" Hearing that, Jin Tao's gaze that was looking at Lu Li immediately shifted to the side, and quickly extinguished the bandit's smoke, extending his hand to grab Lu Li's hand.

This action caused Lu Li's face to turn stiff.

It was unknown what the black fatty did just now, but his fat hands were sticky …

And at this moment, that Jin Tao was actually doing something else, Lu Li could naturally feel that both this Jin Tao and the previous Yu Yanran knew how to measure their bones.

"Little brother is truly a hero. He is only sixteen years old, yet he possesses such great strength. You being able to become a member of my Ma Gang is actually a great fortune for my Ma Clan!"

Once he figured out Lu Li's specific age, Jin Tao's face filled with joy, and his tone became fervent.

"I do not dare, but compared to a powerful master like big brother Jin Tao, I am still far off." Lu Li laughed humbly, "I wonder if Big Brother Jin Xian can provide me with a place to stay in the Ma Clan?"

"That's good then. A few days ago, an elder of my Ma Gang was killed, so you should take his seat!" Jin Xian immediately spoke out: "Don't you mind the low position, after all you have just arrived here, and are immediately given a heavy responsibility, the brothers in the gang will not accept you, and after suffering for a few days and waiting for a chance, they will add you to the ranks of their leaders!"

"Thank you, big brother." Hearing that, Lu Li cupped his hands and said.

"You are too polite, brother. This is what you deserve. However …"

Suddenly, Jin Tao changed the subject. The instant he raised his head and looked Lu Li in the eyes, a strange fluorescent light flashed past his eyes!

"There are some truths that you have to clarify with me!"
