"Jiaolong Gang?"
Chen Xiuwu's expression also changed, growing incredibly solemn.
All along, the Jiaolong Gang has been the overlord of several counties along the Anjiang River, monopolizing the shipping trade across the entire Anjiang region. They've signed specialized agreements with the noble families large and small along the river.
The trade of goods by the noble families—it doesn't matter if you go by land. But if you want to go by water, you're confined to within your own county. If you want to transport goods to other counties using the Anjiang route, you must do so through the Jiaolong Gang.
The Jiaolong Gang is so domineering because it has backing. It's said, merely rumored, that behind the Jiaolong Gang stands a Prince of the Imperial Family. Furthermore, the Gang Leader of the Jiaolong Gang is a renowned cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Overall, the strength of the Jiaolong Gang is not inferior to that of a Fifth-Grade Purple Mansion Family.
