Chapter 268 – Inheriting the Title of Arrow God, Liu Wushuang Joins the Exploding Heavens Gang!

“You want to join the Exploding Heavens Gang?”

In the courtyard, Qin Yang took a deep breath, rubbing his temples as he struggled to process the words.

What was going on with this Liu Wushuang?

Perfectly fine…

Giving up his high position in the Supreme Alliance.

Preferring to come to the Exploding Heavens Gang as a mere member?!

“I remember your status in the Supreme Alliance should be quite high, right?”

Qin Yang stroked his chin, taking a step back as he looked Liu Wushuang up and down:

“You’re truly willing to give that up?”

“It’s alright, just a minor position.”

Liu Wushuang pinched his thumb and forefinger together, making a gesture:

“Just a Vice Alliance Lord. If anything happens to Meng Tianxuan, I’d most likely become the candidate for the next Supreme Alliance Leader…”

“?”

Qin Yang’s face was full of question marks, “You call that a minor position?? Vice Alliance Lord of the Supreme Alliance – such a high status, and you’re really willing to abandon it?”

The Supreme Alliance Leader was admired by tens of thousands.

If Liu Wushuang continued staying there.

It wouldn’t be long before he reached the pinnacle.

Yet now, he was giving up the chance to become Supreme Alliance Leader, instead coming to the Exploding Heavens Gang to start over from scratch as a mere member?

“……”

Qin Yang fell silent.

He didn’t believe it in his heart!

Instantly raising his guard to the maximum!

“This isn’t some spy scheme from your Alliance Lord, is it?”

“Ah, don’t mention it. That was before, it’s different now.”

As if sensing Qin Yang’s wariness, Liu Wushuang sighed dejectedly, explaining gloomily:

“When I first joined the Supreme Alliance, I was still an ignorant Innate Realm cultivator, enjoying cultivation with various rare treasures… Back then, Meng Tianxuan treated me like a blood brother, and I respected him as an elder brother, until later…”

Liu Wushuang looked at Qin Yang, disheartened:

“After meeting you, kid Qin, and the various Supreme experts of the Exploding Heavens Gang, I finally saw Meng Tianxuan’s true colors – sanctimonious… Actually just a cowardly villain afraid of death.”

Hearing this.

Qin Yang already understood.

Good heavens!

Yesterday’s successive attacks from the Exploding Heavens Gang not only shattered Qi Qingshan’s dao heart but also managed to recruit Liu Wushuang over.

This situation was truly an unexpected gain.

“Let me think.”

Qin Yang crossed his arms, weighing the pros and cons.

Letting Liu Wushuang join might not be a bad idea.

After all, the Exploding Heavens Gang was entirely fabricated by him anyway – no harm in casually deceiving him.

Moreover, more importantly, Liu Wushuang was a top-tier expert who could survive until five hundred years later, with enormous potential!

If he could keep him in the Exploding Heavens Gang…

The addition of a Supreme Realm expert could provide significant combat power support.

And!

Most importantly,

There might be chances to trigger the damn system again, reaping huge rewards!

“No matter how I think about it, there’s no downside…”

Thinking this, Qin Yang no longer hesitated, nodding slightly in agreement:

“Alright, since you’re so sincere, you can join… But there’s one condition.”

He stroked his chin, looking at the ‘Supreme Token’ hanging from Liu Wushuang’s waist, then added, “For now, you’ll be an probationary disciple under observation. Our Exploding Heavens Gang can kick you out at any time. Depending on your performance later, you might be promoted to a formal disciple…

How about this condition?”

“No problem! This humble one will comply with your wishes… Wait…”

Liu Wushuang excitedly nodded, overjoyed in his heart, but suddenly frowned, feeling something wasn’t quite right.

He agreed just like that?Isn’t this a bit too fast?

Shouldn’t we follow the proper procedures, like seeking approval from the gang leader or signing some pledge to join the gang?

Yet, based solely on Qin Yang’s word, he’s letting me join just like that?!

“Qin Yang, aren’t you going to consult the elders in your gang?”

Liu Wushuang scratched his head, looking at Qin Yang with confusion, and asked, “Isn’t it a bit hasty to agree just like this? I’m not in a hurry—you could go and consult the Exploding Heavens Gang Leader or the others…”

“No need,”

Qin Yang waved his hand lightly upon hearing this, having anticipated the question. He smoothly spun his tale:

“At this point, I might as well be honest with you…

Actually, I am the Young Gang Leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang, the future successor to the gang leader!”

As his words fell.

Boom!

“Young Gang Leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang!?”

Liu Wushuang’s pupils contracted sharply, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Yang before him. So shocked that he stammered, “Y-you… you’re actually the Young Gang Leader?”

“What, do I not look the part?”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, folding his arms as he retorted, “If you don’t believe me, then forget it… Go back and wait for news. I’ll find time to speak with the gang leader, though he’s currently in seclusion.”

With that,

Qin Yang glanced at Liu Wushuang and casually brushed him off: “But I’m not sure when he’ll emerge from seclusion. It could be half a year, ten years… or even a hundred years. Are you sure you really want to wait?”

“I… I believe you…”

Liu Wushuang stammered, “No need to wait.”

He had finally managed to join the Exploding Heavens Gang.

There was no way he would let this opportunity slip away!

Moreover!

He had already had some suspicions about Qin Yang’s identity back when Meng Tianxuan attacked.

Putting everything else aside,

just the fact that so many Supremes from the Exploding Heavens Gang were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect Qin Yang without hesitation was enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

To command Supremes of the Supreme Realm as if they were mere lackeys—such a grand display was beyond imagination.

It clearly demonstrated Qin Yang’s high status within the Exploding Heavens Gang.

“As expected of the future gang leader—such remarkable presence!”

With that thought, Liu Wushuang no longer hesitated. He dropped to one knee with a thud, adopting a more respectful tone as he spoke reverently:

“Your subordinate, Liu Wushuang, pays respects to the Young Gang Leader!!”

“Alright, no need for such formalities. Rise,”

Qin Yang shook his head, “The Exploding Heavens Gang doesn’t bother with excessive etiquette. From now on, just act naturally—no more kneeling. The ways of your Supreme Alliance don’t apply here in the Exploding Heavens Gang.”

As his words fell.

“Yes…”

Liu Wushuang nodded gently and rose from the ground, his demeanor growing even more respectful:

“From this day forward, if the Exploding Heavens Gang has any orders, Young Gang Leader, feel free to summon me. This humble one will answer your call without fail!”

“Alright, given your sincerity.”

Qin Yang pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Dark Bow on Liu Wushuang’s back and said calmly:

“Now that you’ve joined our Exploding Heavens Gang, you should sever ties with your past in the Supreme Alliance and start your life anew.”

“Huh?”

Liu Wushuang was greatly puzzled, “Young Gang Leader, what do you mean…? How should I sever ties with my past in the Supreme Alliance? Please tell me—I will follow your instructions!”

“No need for anything complicated. It’s just about adopting a new title.”

Qin Yang thought for a moment, then gazed up at the bright, silvery moon in the sky and slowly began to speak,”Our Exploding Heavens Gang follows the path of inheritance—inheriting from ancient times and passing down through myriad generations. Every technique has been cultivated to the pinnacle of Emperor-Class, such as Martial Uncle Ye Fan’s Sky-Covering Palm and Martial Uncle Lin Dong’s Sky-Imprisoning Finger… each with their corresponding titles.”

“Since you’ve joined our Exploding Heavens Gang, you naturally shouldn’t be left without distinction either.”

Qin Yang spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping over the Dark Bow behind Liu Wushuang as he said placidly: “I’ve been thinking just now—since you’re a master archer, why not succeed my late martial uncle…

Inherit his revered title of ‘Arrow God’!”

As these words fell.

“Arrow God…?!”

Liu Wushuang’s face was full of astonishment. When he heard these words, he thought he must have misheard, his mind buzzing violently.

Bestowing the title Arrow God?

I just joined the Exploding Heavens Gang, and the Young Gang Leader immediately grants me the title Arrow God?

This is absurd!

Arrow God’s bones aren’t even cold yet!

“Impossible, impossible! Young Gang Leader, this honor is far too great!”

Liu Wushuang lowered his head, hurriedly waving his hands in refusal as he said shamefacedly: “Arrow God died because of me back then—how could I inherit his title? This would be truly disrespectful. Please assign me another title instead—I’ll accept whatever you choose.”

“Tsk…”

Qin Yang made a disapproving sound at this response, coming to Liu Wushuang’s side and placing a hand on his trembling shoulder to calm him: “What are you panicking about?!”

“The deceased are the roots of the living. Title inheritance has always been our Exploding Heavens Gang’s tradition. If you carry guilt in your heart, then inherit the Arrow God title and perform more good deeds in the future, living up to the Arrow God name… Of course, you could also choose not to accept it…”

He paused briefly, his eyes turning cold,

“But from this day forward, there will be no place for you within the Exploding Heavens Gang…”

As he spoke.

A faint, almost imperceptible killing intent permeated the air. The bleak autumn night, with its desolate cool breeze, made the courtyard feel even colder.

“……”

Liu Wushuang’s expression was dazed, his eyes unfocused as he fell into conflicted contemplation.

To accept, or not to accept?

He who wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight.

Was he truly worthy of succeeding Arrow God?!

After struggling internally for some time, Liu Wushuang finally reached a decision.

Thump!

The next moment, he knelt again, one knee supporting him as he bowed before Qin Yang, his voice becoming more devout and respectful as he declared loudly:

“Arrow God Liu Wushuang! Pays respects to the Young Gang Leader!!”

As these words left his mouth.

A certain heavy sense of mission spontaneously arose within Liu Wushuang’s heart.

“Mm, good. Make sure to perform well from now on.”

Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction at this.

This ‘Arrow God’ crown title.

While called inheritance.

Was actually more like a shackle…

“From beginning to end, I’ve had him completely under my control.”

After securing his compliance, Qin Yang had Liu Wushuang rise and inquired about matters concerning the Supreme Alliance.

According to the subsequent movements Liu Wushuang revealed, after being injured in the explosion last time, Meng Tianxuan seemed to have vanished from the world—he hadn’t contacted any of the Alliance’s Supreme experts, but instead directly crossed the suburban border.

Evading all surveillance.

From that point onward.

He disappeared deep into the Great Li Mountains, then concealed all traces…

“Young Gang Leader.”

“If you have any needs, please don’t hesitate to command me.”

Liu Wushuang stood beside Qin Yang, asking quietly, “This subordinate remains within the Supreme Alliance and can serve as an inside agent for the Exploding Heavens Gang.

If that fellow Meng Tianxuan returns, I can inform you immediately!”

“Inside agent?”

Qin Yang followed this lead, nodding cheerfully:”This method is feasible… but yesterday’s apartment incident caused too big of a stir. With the online controversy still brewing these days, you should lay low in Jianghai for now and remain on standby at all times. Understood?”

“Good! Rest assured, Young Gang Leader. I, Liu Wushuang, am definitely not someone who fears death!”

Liu Wushuang thumped his chest emphatically, his spirits lifting!

“Since joining the Exploding Heavens Gang, I’ve been prepared at all times, willing to go through fire and water for the gang! At your command, Young Gang Leader, I’m ready to self-destruct for you and the other seniors of the Exploding Heavens Gang!”

As he spoke, the Star Power around him began to grow chaotic,

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying aura spread, and faint cracks began to appear on his skin.

Qin Yang: “……”
