บท 60: Chapter 41: Talent Development, Scholar's Distress

As expected, the situation unfolded just like Lu Yuan had anticipated. Fang Tianying's defeat did not put an end to the chaos caused by the Black Wind Gang. On the contrary, the turmoil seemed to expand even further.

After defeating Eagle King, the Iron Sword Sect and the government forces took advantage of their victory and launched an offensive. A large number of Iron Sword Sect disciples cooperated with the government and hunted down the Black Wind Gang members.

However, the core leaders of the Black Wind Gang were all swift-acting horse thieves. They rode fast horses and came and went like the wind, striking one place and then immediately retreating, without staying in one place for long.

This grand encirclement operation, in addition to eliminating some peripheral bandits, hardly killed any of the core leaders.

It was as if they were taking the Iron Sword Sect disciples and government soldiers for a walk around Luling Prefecture.
