"If it weren't for them, I would have liked to show Master Guo how the Black Martial Gang could flourish under my leadership."

Only after Shi Keliang explained did Ji Fanya learn the reason.

It turns out that Jun Feijue and his group's actions outside have made the Black Martial Gang famous throughout the entire Empire Continent.

Coincidentally, Ji Fanya in the academy had once established a Black Martial Gang, and Shi Keliang thought that this was a good opportunity to develop the gang.

Gangs are allowed to exist within the academy, and large gangs can even receive support and supplies from the academy.

The previous Black Martial Gang was only established verbally and privately by Shi Keliang and a group of lackeys; it was not actually registered with the academy.

Now, using the name of the Black Martial Gang, Shi Keliang boldly established it and arbitrarily made Ji Fanya the deputy leader. As for the leader, he did not make it clear.

However, nowadays, everyone on the Imperial Continent knows the members of the Black Martial Gang. Upon hearing that Ji Fanya is the vice leader of the Black Martial Gang in the academy, it goes without saying that everyone naturally assumes that Jun Feijue is the leader of this gang.

Therefore, the Black Martial Gang of the academy quickly became a hot commodity. In just two months, its membership expanded from the original twenty-odd people to more than a thousand, rivaling the large gangs established by some of the academy's inner disciples.

As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat," the Black Martial Gang's terrifyingly rapid growth naturally attracted the attention of other gangs very quickly.

And now, this gang called 'Zangtian' is the one that has caused the most damage to the Black Martial Gang. In less than a month, the gang of nearly a thousand people has been reduced to its original state.

Furthermore, since each gang needs to pay a founding fee to establish itself, and this place has received a lot of effort, Zangtian did not stop there, but planned to merge it into a branch.

Each gang's central main hall has a powerful protective formation. If the gang doesn't give up voluntarily, it can hold out for a long time with the power of faith accumulated by its members.

If they hadn't voluntarily withdrawn, this gang could have continued to exist for a long time.

Therefore, the sky burial was to keep people squatting here, intending to force Shi Keliang and his gang to hand over control of the gang.

If Shi Keliang can't hold on in the end, they will take over directly; if he wants to continue, they will stay here and hold out until the very last moment.

Because, as long as no new members join, once the power of faith can no longer support the protective array, Shi Keliang and his group will lose their last reliance.

"So that's how it is."

This time, Jun Feijue and the others finally understood the whole story.

"Master Guo, I'm sorry."

Shi Keliang swallowed the last bite of rice, his eyes red as he lowered his head and said, "I'm really useless. I can't even do such a small thing right, and I've only caused you trouble."

"Okay, I'm not blaming you."

Ji Fanya knew that Shi Keliang simply admired him too much and wanted to do something for him in order to gain his approval.

Actually, he wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he felt quite warm inside, knowing that someone cared about him so much and was quietly doing things for him.

"Pot Master!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Keliang's eyes widened, then he lay down on the ground, hugged Ji Fanya's leg, and howled, "I knew it! Master Guo is the best boss in the world!"

"..."

At this moment, Ji Fanya wanted to take back his previous words and smash this idiot to death with a frying pan.
