On the top of a half-collapsed building on the periphery of the Flying Cloud Gang's territory, two figures stood face to face.

One of them was a woman with short hair and a slender figure. It was Rowane. Opposite her was a bald, burly man with a fierce expression on his face. "Who is that?" Fade, who had followed them out, asked.

Lenon, who was standing next to him, looked serious. He answered simply, "The leader of the Torch Gang, Hocksen."

At that moment, the two people at the top of the building spoke.

Hocksen said to Rowane, "Rowane, hand them over. I can pretend that what happened yesterday never occurred."

Rowane raised her eyebrows and replied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Hocksen's expression darkened and he said unhappily, "Rowane, we're all sensible people. There's no need to pretend to be stupid."

"I'll get straight to the point. Yesterday, those guys killed a lot of our people. You must give me an explanation for this."

Rowane's tone was still indifferent. "What does that have to do with me?"

Hocksen frowned, waved his hand, and called someone over. It was Mr. Zhou, whom Fade had met the previous day.

Mr. Zhou bowed and said, "Rowane, those people lied to us yesterday and snuck up on our members. Finally, under our pursuit, they fled into the territory of the Flying Cloud Gang. Many people witnessed this." After saying that, Mr. Zhou bowed his head and left.

Hocksen immediately said, "It's very clear. I only want those murderers."

Rowane said, "I don't know who the murderer is. My Flying Cloud Gang only accepted a few new members yesterday."

"You..." Hocksen frowned and glared at Rowane. Gritting his teeth, he questioned, "Rowane, do you really want to go against my Torch Gang for a few outsiders?"

Hearing that, Rowane suddenly laughed. "Hocksen, do you think that our Flying Cloud Gang has a good relationship with your Torch Gang?"

"Rowane, you..." Hocksen immediately became angry, and his positive energy surged wildly, wantonly spreading to the surroundings.

Even Fade, who was standing below the building, felt a burst of pressure attacking him.

"Hocken's strength is extraordinary. He should at least be at Level 4 of the Controlling Realm."

Fade made a mental judgment of the opponent's strength before activating his positive energy to protect his body.

On the top of the building, with Hocksen's movements, Rowane's gaze turned cold. A cold and sharp force rushed into the sky like a sword.

Rowane did not flinch. She condensed her positive energy and pointed at Hocksen.

"If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

For a moment, the auras of the two masters rose, and the two streams of positive energy in the air kept colliding with each other, causing a series of explosions. The pressure on the surrounding space was getting heavier and heavier.

Some of the weaker members of the Flying Cloud Gang retreated one after another.

Lenon also frowned slightly, and the strength of his positive energy increased a little. Then, he looked at Fade beside him and asked, "Are you okay?" Fade shrugged his shoulders. "I'm fine."

After that, Fade even took the initiative to walk towards the building.

Seeing this, a look of surprise appeared in Lenon's eyes as he muttered to himself, "That brat..."

......

The positive energy streams of Hockesen and Rowane became stronger and stronger, and the air around them exploded.

Just as the two of them were about to make their move, Fade suddenly rose into the air and said, "This is all because of me. If there's anything you need from me, just come at me."

As soon as those words came out, the atmosphere between the two became relaxed and they looked at Fade at the same time.

Hocksen narrowed his eyes, stared at Fade for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Did you kill my people?"

Fade looked him straight in the eye and did not avoid his gaze at all. "I did."

"However, they deserved to die!"

"How dare you!" Hocksen shouted angrily and glared at Fade. "Do you know what you have done?"

"Of course I know. I only killed those who should be killed." Fade sneered. "However, it seems that you, the

leader of the Torch Gang, haven't e

done what you should do. You can't even control your subordinates and let them do shameless and evil things. I don't think it's necessary for you to be called the leader."

"You..."

This time, Hocksen was really furious. His eyes were red and he glared at Fade.

In the confrontation with Rowane just now, although the atmosphere was tense and their positive energy collided repeatedly, everything was within Hocksen's expectations, After all, the two of them had fought for more than a hundred years, and this kind of thing had been experienced many times.

However, Fade's actions were completely beyond Hocksen's expectations.

He had never expected that this nobody would be so bold as to scold him, the leader of the Torch Gang, in public.

For a moment, the resentment and indignation caused Hocksen to suddenly explode. He drew out a huge double-sided ax and slashed viciously at Fade.

The double-sided ax shattered the air and chopped at Fade's head with a whistling wind. It moved at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the attack was right in front of him.

Even Rowane didn't have time to make a move. Her expression changed greatly and she shouted at Fade, "Get out of the way!" However, the ax was less than half a meter away from Fade. That kind of distance and at such a speed could not be avoided. Hocksen's expression was full of killing intent. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Go to hell!"

Whoosh!

Fade was about to be chopped into pieces by the ax.

At the critical moment, Fade suddenly pulled out a long black sword and raised it.

That force changed the direction of the double-sided ax at the last moment, and it almost brushed Fade's scalp.

"How could you..."

When the attack failed, Hocksen and Rowane were both surprised.

Then, Rowane reacted quickly, pulled out a dagger, and rushed towards Hocksen.

In an instant, the two collided and turned into two streams of light that fought with each other.

After exchanging a hundred moves, the two separated and stood still.

Rowane looked at Hocksen coldly and sneered. "Do you want to continue?"

Hocksen's expression changed. He glared at Fade and then turned to leave. "Let's go!"

In the end, he did not forget to say a harsh sentence, "Rowane, I'll remember what happened today."

Rowane sneered and ignored him. Instead, she walked to Fade, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Not bad. I underestimated you." Fade bowed and said with sincerity, "Thank you, Rowane."

"Well, don't be pretentious. My help is not in vain. You have to do your best in the following Autumn Hunt," Rowane said.

"Rowane, don't worry. I'll try my best." Fade cupped his fists.

"Alright, let's go back and eat!"

Rowane waved his hand, put away the dagger, and jumped off the building.

Fade immediately followed. He was keenly aware that the blade of Rowane's dagger was stained with a touch of red.

Seven days later, it was the day of the Autumn Hunt, and it was a sunny day.

......

Rowane took Fade to the periphery of Misty City. They stood on an abandoned city wall and looked eastward.

On the horizon, several black dots appeared and rushed in the direction of Misty City.

Then, there were more and more

black dots, which were getting bigger and bigger. The shapes of some chariots, horses, and people could be vaguely seen, as well as some flags fluttering in the wind.

"The Autumn Hunt team is here!"
