Yang Jun was astonished by these words, but seeing that Wang Yi had no intention of saying more, he could only leave with a sense of confusion.
Wang Yi watched Yang Jun's disappearing figure and sighed deeply. He was not a reckless killer, but neither was he someone who meddled in others' affairs. However, the Yang Gang father and son had saved his life, and he could not ignore that debt. If he simply walked away now, how was that different from being ungrateful?
Nevertheless, although Wang Yi wanted to help, the decision ultimately lay with Yang Gang. Whether he could buy time was crucial to the survival of the Golden Blade Merchant Association.
The next day dawned.
"There are still twelve hours left," Wang Yi murmured as he looked out at the clear sky.
However, under this bright sky, a significant event occurred in Yuncheng. The Golden Blade Merchant Association, which had been established for over ten years in Yuncheng, was set to leave today, allowing the God Gun Sect to dominate.
At this moment, the leader of the God Gun Sect, Gun Invincible, had already begun consolidating power and taking over the territory of the Golden Blade Merchant Association.
Simultaneously, a large number of people from the Golden Blade Merchant Association announced their withdrawal; some left while others directly declared their allegiance to the God Gun Sect.
Regarding these developments, Golden Blade Merchant Association President Yang Gang did not show excessive concern. He allowed members of the association to choose whether to leave or stay. However, those who chose to remain were few and far between. In most people's eyes, the Golden Blade Merchant Association was finished. The era of dual dominance in Yuncheng had come to an end; from now on, it would be ruled by the God Gun Sect.
"Father, they are all willing to stay and leave with the Golden Blade Merchant Association," Yang Jun said sadly as he looked at the dozen or so people before him.
Who would have thought that just yesterday, the once strong and robust Golden Blade Merchant Association would be reduced to just these few people today?
"Are you really willing to stay?" Yang Gang asked loudly as he looked at those who volunteered to remain.
"We are willing."
“Golden Blade Merchant Association has treated us well, and we are willing to live and die together with the association.”
“Indeed, besides, President, you have great abilities. Even if you leave Yuncheng, you can still rebuild the Golden Blade Merchant Association elsewhere.”
“I will follow the Golden Blade Merchant Association to the death.”
“Good, very good. Since everyone trusts me so much, from now on, I will live and die with all of you, never abandoning each other.” Yang Gang said loudly.
“Live and die together, never abandon each other.”
“Live and die together, never abandon each other.”
Everyone shouted in unison.
Yang Gang responded with a good and turned to Yang Jun: “Jun'er, have the items in the meeting been properly packed?”
“Reporting to Father, aside from the spiritual herbs acquired a few days ago, everything else has been taken care of.” Yang Jun replied respectfully.
“This batch of items is what I have carefully prepared for the next Auction. We cannot afford any losses.” Yang Gang frowned.
“This… Father, why not lower the prices for these items? This way, we can save a lot of trouble.” Yang Jun said with difficulty, hesitating.
“No way. Right now in Yuncheng, who else besides Gun Invincible has the ability to handle this batch of items?” Yang Gang decisively refused without thinking.
“But…” Yang Jun wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Yang Gang: “No buts. You immediately go hire some carts and transport all these items away.”
"Yes." Yang Jun also knew that the situation had reached a very urgent point and could not be delayed. He then led a few men out the door.
Yang Gang glanced around at everyone and said, "You all go down and prepare!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Soon after, Yang Gang arrived at the house where Wang Yi was located. A hint of intrigue flashed in his eyes as he looked at Wang Yi. He laughed heartily and said, "I apologize for making you laugh, Wang Xianzi. According to our agreement, the Golden Blade Merchant Association will be leaving Yuncheng today. I wonder what your plans are next, Wang Xianzi?"
"I am just a person without a fixed residence; how could I have any plans?" Wang Yi replied with a faint smile. Suddenly, his expression became serious as he stared at Yang Gang and said, "President Yang, are you really going to leave Yuncheng?"
"Indeed," Yang Gang replied.
"Will Gun Invincible really let you leave so easily?" Wang Yi asked.
"I have known Gun Invincible for many years. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to let me leave so easily. However, if he dares to come, I am not afraid," Yang Gang said, laughing heartily.
"In that case, I would like to accompany President Yang. What do you think?" Wang Yi smiled.
"Wang Xianzi is welcome to join us," Yang Gang replied.
Wang Yi nodded and said nothing further.
"Since that's the case, please wait here for a moment longer, Wang Xianzi. After I handle some important matters, we will leave the city," Yang Gang said.
"Alright," Wang Yi replied.
Immediately, Yang Gang left the courtyard.
"Looking at him, could it be that he knows me?" Wang Yi murmured as he looked at Gao Wuyun's vacant expression.
Time slowly passed. During these few hours, Yang Wudi sent three batches of people to urge Yang Gang to leave Yuncheng, each time more urgent and severe than the last. By the fourth time, Gun Wushuang personally led several people over, his tone carrying a hint of threat, which infuriated Yang Gang and his son.
In the afternoon, Yang Gang finally finished dealing with matters in the council, and outside the merchant association, as many as twenty carriages were prepared.
The once bustling street was now filled with desolation; a warm wind swept through, stirring up endless dust.
The Golden Blade Merchant Association, which had been crowded yesterday, was now deserted, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that when the walls fall, everyone pushes.
Standing in the sunlight, Yang Gang's face bore more worry than yesterday. He sighed deeply, his brows tightly knitted. No one would willingly give up a place they had painstakingly managed for over a decade.
Yang Jun was equally unwilling. At this moment, his face was pale with anger; his handsome features were twisted, and his fists were tightly clenched, knuckles turning white. It seemed as if a wave of unexpressed rage surged within him.
"Jun'er, where is Wang Yi?" Yang Gang exhaled and looked around but did not see Wang Yi's figure. He hurriedly asked.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In an instant, the air suddenly filled with a whistling sound. The next moment, countless arrows shot out from the buildings on both sides of the street like locusts swarming through, dense and overwhelming, sending chills down one's spine.
Ah ah ah...
In an instant, screams erupted one after another as streams of crimson blood stained the air.
“Gun Invincible.” Yang Gang shouted angrily, waving his hand and saying, “Go back.” With a swift motion, he gathered dozens of sharp arrows into his sleeve, then suddenly swung his arm, sending the arrows shooting out. More than ten men in black fell from the rooftops.
“Run!” Yang Gang saw Yang Jun frozen on the ground, opened his five fingers, and directly pulled him into the house.
At the same time, the air was filled with the incessant sound of crossbow bolts whistling through the air, making one’s scalp tingle.
“Father, what should we do now?” Yang Jun asked urgently, his face full of worry.
“You all immediately escort the young master out through the back door,” Yang Gang instructed.
“President, the back door is also surrounded; we can’t get out,” a burly man rushed in from the backyard and reported.
“What?” Upon hearing this news, everyone’s already worried expressions grew even more anxious.
“Don’t panic,” Yang Gang shouted loudly, looking at Yang Jun and asking, “Jun'er, where is Wang Yi?”
“I… I don’t know,” Yang Jun said in a panic as he glanced around.
“Sigh, you all should go! I believe Gun Invincible will spare you,” Yang Gang looked at everyone and sighed deeply.
Just then, a loud voice came from outside, “Hahaha, Yang Gang, an old friend has arrived; why don’t you come out to greet me?”
“Hmph, Gun Invincible, I was born on this land and grew up in this world; I will never surrender. You can give up on that idea!” Yang Gang snorted coldly and declared loudly.
“Yes, we would rather die than surrender.”
"Better to die than to surrender!"
"Better to die than to surrender!"
"Hmph, you refuse a toast and instead drink a penalty. Since that's the case, you can die together with Yang Gang and his son!" A cold voice from outside the door came again from Gun Invincible.
"Kill!"
Before the words fell, a rain of arrows immediately shot in.
In an instant, the sound of whistling arrows filled the air. Arrows were everywhere—on the roof, at the windows, and on the ground. Several members of the Golden Blade Merchant Association were caught off guard and fell dead from their wounds.
"Jun'er, follow me." After speaking, Yang Gang did not wait for Yang Jun to respond and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him into a room in the backyard.
"Wang Xianzi, are you here?" Yang Gang suddenly froze, seeing that Wang Yi had somehow arrived in this room.
"Father, what are you bringing me here for?" Yang Jun asked with a look of confusion.
"Shut up." Yang Gang shouted angrily, turning to Wang Yi: "Wang Xianzi, today our Golden Blade Merchant Association cannot escape this calamity; I have implicated you." He then showed a hint of guilt on his face.
"Brother Wang, you said that as long as we get through today, the Golden Blade Merchant Association won't have to leave Yuncheng, right? Were you lying to me about all this?" Yang Jun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly walked in front of Wang Yi, asking anxiously.
"Jun'er, what are you talking about? What do you mean by after today, the Golden Blade Merchant Association won't have to leave Yuncheng?" Yang Gang asked.
"I meant that we will get through today, but the time hasn't come yet." Wang Yi looked at the anxious expression on Yang Jun's face and replied calmly.
"How much longer will it take?" Yang Jun asked.
"Five hours," Wang Yi replied.
"Wang Xianzi, what do you mean by that?" Yang Gang, confused, sensed the crux of the problem and asked urgently.
"As long as you can delay for five hours, I can ensure the safety of the Golden Blade Merchant Association," Wang Yi said confidently.
"Five hours is too long. Gun Invincible has already arrived; there's no time left," Yang Jun said anxiously.
"Wang Yi, are you serious?" Yang Gang noticed Wang Yi's calm demeanor, which showed no signs of being in a dangerous situation. He couldn't help but feel a bit convinced but still couldn't suppress his doubts.
"Absolutely," Wang Yi affirmed.
"Alright." Yang Gang gritted his teeth, then with a determined expression, he said to the burly man who had followed him in, "You immediately arrange for the Brothers to burn this down."
