Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"Boss, you've caused such a commotion that continuing or developing peacefully is no longer possible. The King of Nancang must have noticed you," the vice Boss said seriously.

Since they surrendered out of fear of death, they naturally did not want their hard-won lives to be lost again because of the gang leader's momentary lapse of judgment.

Throughout the entire southern district, despite constant struggles, the core interests of the Nancang land king have never been touched.

The conflicts between the various gangs have always been kept within a certain range, and it is not a true case of "breeding poison."

But now, the Wild Wolf Gang's actions have clearly crossed the line. As the uncrowned kings of the South District, they will definitely choose to take action, and there's no way to avoid it.

"The Earth King is nothing more than a corpse-guarding dog!"

Ye Mo scoffed, his face showing disdain, completely disregarding him.

And since he is a wolf, he naturally ranks above dogs.

Upon hearing Ye Mo's words, the vice leader was momentarily stunned, unsure whether the leader's arrogance was genuine and fearless, or if he had some hidden trump card.

"The Nancang land king is a small matter; we have something more important to do now."

Ye Mo looked at the vice leader who had submitted to him and put on a kind smile.

……

Chapter 796 The Land King of Nancang

In the southern district of the underground city, at the end of the most prosperous street, lies a sprawling mansion.

Numerous guards came and went in a hurry, and news kept coming from outside the mansion, casting a solemn and cold atmosphere over the entire estate.

Inside the conference hall, a professional dressed in neutral attire, whose gender was indistinguishable, sat in the main seat. This was none other than the uncrowned king of the South District—Nan Cang!

Below, four of the five guardians who were intimidating the southern district also arrived, each handing over intelligence reports.

“King of the Land, this Wild Dog Gang is not simple. Their leader, Ye Mo, is probably also problematic.” The Great Protector said with a serious expression.

"This Ye Mo, although he had ambitions before, did not have enough strength. However, after defeating the Blood Hand Gang, his strength suddenly increased, and he successively conquered several gangs."

"There must be something wrong here!"

As the chief protector under the King of Nancang, his most important task was to collect information about the entire southern region, especially those threatening forces.

"Since it's so dangerous, it seems it's my turn to make a move." The Second Protector said viciously, his whole body exuding a strong killing intent, clearly a ruthless person as well.

Among the five protectors, the second protector has always been responsible for secretly eliminating dangerous troublemakers in Nanchang, doing dirty work.

“Indeed, the Wild Wolf Gang is expanding too fast and seriously threatening my business.” The Third Protector frowned, calculating something in his hands.

As the land king of the southern district, he also has a wealth of talented people under his command.

The First Protector is responsible for intelligence affairs and management in the Southern District; the Second Protector is responsible for combat and assassination affairs; the Third Protector is responsible for shop management and fundraising; and the Fourth Protector is responsible for coordinating with other forces in the underground city.

As for the Five Protectors, they are the most mysterious and are usually not seen. They are mainly responsible for matters outside the lower city. However, due to the special circumstances this time, they were also summoned back.

With the King of Nancang at its core, the five guardians have managed the entire southern district in an orderly manner, and no major problems have arisen over the years.

Unless it's a powerful dragon crossing the river, it won't cause any big waves.

As professionals, regardless of their spiritual realm, their thinking speed is also quite good. As long as they are willing to manage personally, each of them is a talent capable of governing a region.

However, most professionals don't actually aspire to this career path; they merely use it as a stepping stone to climb higher.

As for the Wild Wolf Gang, they saw it as nothing more than a minor nuisance, only worried that others might be making underhanded moves or testing them.

Although the entire lower city was chaotic, it was rich in resources, and as the apparent ruler, it was naturally coveted.

"Haven't they found out who was behind this Wild Wolf Gang yet?"

The land king of Nancang spoke, his tone flat and devoid of any emotion.

"We've investigated Ye Mo's background. He's just a family disciple who fled after committing a crime. He's too far away to be the one whose family is behind this." The Great Protector shook his head, his expression also showing some confusion.

"As for the people Ye Mo has been in contact with during this period, there is indeed one who has a problem."

The Great Protector was having a headache. In the chaotic environment of the lower city, there were plenty of troublesome people, including the five of them, each of whom had their own little schemes, both overt and covert.

To be honest, there weren't many people in the lower city who were clean.

"Since there's a problem, let me give it a try!" the Second Protector said menacingly.

Whether there's a problem or not, we'll know after one test. Under the threat of death, all problems will be exposed.

"Second brother, don't let the people in the South District panic. Otherwise, how can I continue doing business?" the Third Protector said immediately, but he only told him to restrain himself a little.

"I understand. I have no interest in the weak," the Second Protector said impatiently.

Although the five guardians are all Iron-level professionals, they all come from the Upper City's lineage, and they have all the necessary supporting systems.

Therefore, the major protectors look down on untrained professionals, and over the years, countless professionals have died at their hands.

Even among Black Iron-level professionals, the gap between them is greater than the gap between ordinary people.

Therefore, although the intelligence mentioned that the Wild Wolf Gang leader was powerful, they still did not take him seriously.

In the extraordinary world, force ultimately prevails.

"Second brother, I'll leave it to you. Make sure you find out the truth about what's behind this." The King of Nancang said.

He's been through this kind of thing several times before, so this time will probably be no different.

As for the Five Protectors, having seen a wider world, they no longer cared about the affairs of the Lower City.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, a series of incredibly noisy sounds suddenly came from outside.

"Has someone broken into the mansion?"

The major protectors, including the King of Nancang, were somewhat astonished. Who on earth had the audacity to break in at this time?

Although they were some distance apart, the professionals' extraordinary senses allowed them to hear everything clearly.

A group of people stormed into the mansion and are now attacking the guards inside with impunity.

"How brave!"

Nan Cang laughed in extreme anger. He hadn't seen such a daring person in so many years.

As for the enemy's fate that time, Nancang paid a heavy price, torturing the enemy severely for a year, and their painful cries echoed throughout the entire Southern District for a year.

From then on, no one dared to provoke him so arrogantly again.

Without Nan Cang giving a word, his four protectors, one by one, rushed out in a rage.

……

The most expensive land in the southern district!

A group of thugs, led by four professionals, stormed in.

With four professionals leading the way, the guards along the way were no match for them.

"kill!"

Ye Mo transformed into a werewolf and leaped past the guards with a few bounds.

A flash of cold light appeared, and several armored guards fell to the ground, clear claw marks appearing on their necks.

Although the mansion was large, the professionals and elite soldiers quickly encountered the guardians rushing towards them.

"Nancang!"

Ye Mo transformed into a werewolf, his wolf eyes fixed on the Nancang Land King behind him, bloodthirsty saliva dripping from his mouth.

If he can kill it and take over the entire southern district, he can complete the Wolf King ritual and thus advance to the Bronze level.

"So you must be Ye Mo!"

When faced with Ye Mo's gaze, Nan Cang Di Wang couldn't help but frown. It was the look of someone looking at prey, which he disliked very much.

Most importantly, he actually felt a sense of crisis from Ye Mo, which was unbelievable, considering that the other party was only the weakest Black Iron level.

"Could it be that they have some trump card up their sleeve?"

Nancang Diwang thought to himself, being able to contact the outside world, he naturally wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he was invincible.

The things that can threaten bronze-level professionals are simply extraordinary, but most people simply cannot obtain them.

Thinking of this, Nan Cang couldn't help but become vigilant and dared not underestimate the other party.

He's not alive today because of sheer enthusiasm; he's naturally quite wary.

"Heh, the Land King is nothing special."

Ye Mo sniffed, and his beastly senses immediately detected something, revealing a mocking expression.

"What kind of thing dares to call itself king!"

Ye Mo couldn't help but roar at the sky, and his henchmen who followed him immediately turned red in the eyes, all of them mentally stimulated.

"kill!"

"kill!"

To send a group of underlings to storm the territory of a famous land tycoon, some underhanded tactics are necessary.

Being mocked like this, the King of Nancang felt his anger rising like a volcano about to erupt, but he managed to suppress it.

"Second brother, you go and test Ye Mo's strength first. I'll stay behind and bring up the rear."

Nancang Diwang said calmly, "Isn't the meaning of protecting the Dharma right now? Go and clear the way for him, the boss."

"Yes, Earth King..." The Second Protector was fearless, or rather, he had long wanted to make a move.

"Go to hell!"

The second protector smiled contemptuously. Although the current environment was not the most advantageous for him, it was more than enough to deal with such an arrogant person.

The two protectors walked with strange steps, and two afterimages appeared beneath their feet.

Swish!

Then three figures, each wielding a dagger, attacked Ye Mo from three different directions.

"Roar!"
