Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, training ground.

As Lin Qi's words ended, the entire arena fell silent. The death warriors of the Baelon Clan looked at Lin Qi with icy gazes.

The Baelon Clan, as one of the top ten families in the suburbs of Chasing Light City, commanded respect from other suburban forces. Now being threatened with elimination by the wilderness force Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was something the clan's death warriors could not tolerate.

Just as the twenty death warriors of the Baelon Clan were about to attack in rage, Drake held up a hand to stop them.

"Hall Master Lin, I will relay your words verbatim to the Patriarch. I hope you won't regret it then." Drake looked at Lin Qi with a smile and left.

Lin Qi watched the departing Drake and his group without stopping them.

"Hall Master Lin, do you truly intend to oppose the four major forces of the Baelon Clan?" Yakro looked at the departing Baelon Clan with astonishment.

For Yakro, who was used to doing dirty work, he knew well how terrifying the Baelon Clan was. Even the Gorilla Gang, backing the Great Ape Gang, was weaker compared to the Baelon Clan.

Although Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had annihilated the Great Ape Gang, if they were to confront the Baelon Clan, they would truly have no foothold in Chasing Light City, especially when facing the alliance of the four major forces of Baelon.

It's sheer madness!

"If they want to fight outside the city, we will face them." Lin Qi was unfazed.

Though he didn't know who had released the video targeting Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall this time, if they plan to use the four major forces to wage a war of attrition against him, he wouldn't mind using these forces to rise in Chasing Light City.

Yakro was momentarily silent upon hearing this.

"Never mind, if he's not afraid, why should I worry?" Yakro watched Lin Qi return to the house and felt he was worrying for nothing. He might as well quickly produce the Frenzy Potion and recuperate sooner.

Thinking of this, Yakro returned to his studio to make the final equipment and material confirmations.

"Patriarch, this is everything Lin Qi said." Giant Handro respectfully reported to Patriarch Kedewen.

"Can he do everything I can?" A rare cold smile appeared on Kedewen's heavily lined face. "It's been a long time since I've encountered such an arrogant young man. Fine, notify the others to cooperate with us, watch the people from Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall closely. If any of them leave or enter the city, leave none alive. Let this young man understand the cost of arrogance!"

"Yes." Drake nodded and left.

Drake then conveyed Kedewen's intentions to the other three forces.

"Uncle Wright, this Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is too arrogant. Why not destroy their control over Red Moon Mountain first?" Beis, covered in golden fur, was very dissatisfied after reading Drake's message, feeling the Baelon Clan was too lenient.

"No, it's best to do as Kedewen, that old fox, said." The meditating Wright slightly shook his head and explained, "Kedewen clearly knows what we four forces want. If we truly destroy the foundation of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall this instant, Lin Qi would lose hope and might just use the Lord-level monster's remains to live in the city. Unless we pay a high price to hire help, those remains would be forever out of our reach."

"On the contrary, reducing Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall bit by bit forces Lin Qi to compromise if he doesn't want to watch it perish."

"But this means we'll be waiting indefinitely?" Beis was anxious, "The registration for the Genius Training Camp is almost over. If we wait until the end of the assessment, even obtaining the remains, their value would greatly diminish."

"This is simple. Spread the word about our four forces targeting Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; isolate them. Then Lin Qi will naturally know what to choose." Wright instructed.

"I'll do it right away." Beis's eyes brightened.

In the city, wanting to make money involves collaboration and business with the major city forces. If no one cooperates with Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it naturally won't have funds to support its subordinates. If they are killed upon leaving the city, the collapse of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall will be swift.

As Beis spread the news of the four major forces targeting Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the major forces in Chasing Light City were in an uproar.

Although the major forces had anticipated that the four major forces wouldn't spare Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, they didn't expect them to act so ruthlessly.

The four major forces directly announced a complete blockade of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and even released a message stating that cooperating with Black Obsidian meant opposing the four major forces.

The city's major forces had originally not planned to intervene. Considering the influence of the four major forces, they were even less likely to have any dealings with Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"Good, good, good!" Isaac couldn't help but commend as he looked at the messages Mansfield delivered. "This time the four major forces did an excellent job. By dragging Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall into an attrition war, once both are severely weakened, it will be our time to act."

"Gang Leader, among the thousands of young vagabonds we've recruited, another one has succeeded in cultivation. As long as he advances to Martial Artist, that's another candidate for the Genius Training Camp." Mansfield smiled and said.

"Very good, continue recruiting young vagabonds." Isaac nodded, with a fiery determination in his eyes, "Before long, our White Feather Gang will become the rulers of Chasing Light City!"

"Yes!" Mansfield left the room immediately.

Night fell, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

Three members of the Human Race wearing black cloaks quietly entered Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"The four major forces certainly aren't holding back, starting with isolation." Lin Qi looked at the message in his hand, his gaze falling on the three cloaked figures in the room, "Elder Meng Wei, does the honorable Gang Leader intend not to join our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"

"Hall Master Lin, it's my failure to complete the task." Meng Wei said with shame.

"No matter, it's not all your fault, Elder Meng Wei." Lin Qi looked at the pale-faced Meng Wei, noticing that Qiao Hanlan, one of the two disciples, had lost an arm, and asked curiously, "What happened to you, Elder Meng Wei? Why are you so severely injured?"

Meng Wei was silent upon hearing this, and Qiao Hanlan kept his lips sealed, hanging his head low.

However, the female disciple Xue Jing spoke up, "It's all the Gang Leader and his men. The teacher had arranged everything well, and they were willing to join. But after the four major forces released their message, the Gang Leader changed his mind. The teacher thought to move on and bring along those willing to leave, but the Gang Leader accused him of trying to disrupt the gang's morale and attacked us. In the end, only we three got out, while the others who planned to follow were all killed. Several Elders were captured and are likely imprisoned now."

"As we fled, the Gang Leader's men shouted that if the teacher didn't go back within a day, they would publicly execute the captured Elders, so the teacher plans to go alone afterward..."

"Xue Jing, hold your tongue!" Meng Wei shouted, stopping Xue Jing from continuing.

"But teacher, you going alone is certain death." Xue Jing refused to stay silent and spoke out, "Only Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall can help save the teacher and those Elders now."

"This matter doesn't concern Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; it is my personal issue. You two need only stay here, I can surely rescue those Elders in time." Meng Wei glared at Xue Jing, his expression dark.

Now he only wished for his two disciples' safety. Involving Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall in a rescue would only embarrass it. With the four major forces targeting Black Obsidian, if they dared to send someone to the Iron Heart Gang's base for a rescue, the four major forces would undoubtedly eliminate them all, causing severe losses to Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"No! Elder Meng Wei, this is no longer just your issue." Lin Qi's face darkened as he turned to Meng Wei and said, "On Red Moon Mountain, I mentioned that you are already part of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, as are your two disciples. The Iron Heart Gang moves against you, they've declared war on us, and since they've declared, we have no reason not to engage."

"Hall Master Lin, you mustn't act recklessly now. The four major forces have notified their influences and released a public statement in the city. If Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall sends people to Iron Heart Gang, the four major forces certainly won't spare them." Meng Wei tried to dissuade him.

"So what about the four major forces?" Lin Qi laughed instantly, "I'm ready to take on the four major forces!"
