Chapter 56

Before the Four Seas Society.

One head after another was carefully stacked and placed, gradually piling higher.

At the very top was undoubtedly Lu Jingtian's head, followed by the heads of Zhou Kun and the nameless one, and then someone poured hot oil over them with a ladle, instantly tearing the skin and flesh, the grease flowing onto the ground.

The heads of the major forces in the prefecture city who were invited to observe the ceremony all had twitching faces.

Especially the Long Hu Martial Arts Hall's 'Heaven-Turning Monkey' Old Master Yuan, and the Zheng family head, 'Mixed Gold Saber' Zheng Ye; both stared solemnly at the head whose face had been gouged out.

Others might not know, but their disciples and subordinates were spread all over Dongling City; how could they not know that the Yiqi Gang leader, 'Righteousness Reaching the Clouds' Yang Dongsheng, who was on par with them, was deeply involved in this matter? He had also been missing for a long time, and he was nowhere to be seen for such a major event, having sent his son Yang Dong to represent him.

I'm afraid it's not just that the person is missing, even the head is missing, right? They had previously envied the other party for having such a channel outside the city, which very likely could produce an Internal Qi perfection warrior... Thinking about it now, they could only secretly rejoice.

The Four Seas Society, usually not showing its edge, almost made people forget that this was a behemoth spanning the entire Yue Kingdom, doing business with many major forces.

However, perhaps because the Fierce Tiger Stronghold channel was lost, or perhaps it was enough, in the drone's perspective these past few days, no more children had gone missing, even beggars were no exception.

Ding Feng said hurriedly: "I was deceived by the Fierce Tiger Stronghold and did not participate in anything! This is the old thief Lu Jingtian's son, 'Down-Mountain Tiger' Lu Hou. That old thief went to such great lengths for this person." Long San was slightly moved, but still said coldly: "Shopkeeper Ding, thieves caught should be handed over to the government for disposal; what does it have to do with our Four Seas Society? Leave."

Having lost the threat of the Fierce Tiger Stronghold, the entire Dongling City seemed to have become much more prosperous. Smiles appeared on the tense faces of the common people. Even after three days, people were still setting off firecrackers on the street from time to time to celebrate, the shattered red paper covering the ground.

Only when his reverse scale is truly touched can one see a glimpse of his true nature.

Since the decision was wrong and caused trouble for the Society, he would naturally be abandoned by the true master behind him to appease the anger of the Four Seas Society.

Ding Feng's face turned pale, and bean-sized sweat beads rolled down.

In his spare time from cultivation, he liked to come here alone to sit and relax, where he could hear many interesting things and relieve some boredom.

He whispered to himself in his heart.

No longer followed by a large group of servants, Ding Feng left alone, looking utterly soul-lost, his expression extremely blank.

Jiang Ding's expression was solemn. In his view, this place was no longer safe, the crisis was gradually increasing, and the Marquis of Zhendong raising such a heavy army was definitely not for show.

A few days later, the Four Seas Society received two wooden boxes, marked with the names Ding Feng and Lu Hou respectively. Long San took a look and ordered people to throw them into the woodshed to be burned.

"And let me say,"

"Have a safe journey!"

Ding Feng shouted anxiously, and the people behind him hurriedly pressed forward a tall, strong figure tied up tightly.

As soon as the Blue Fluorescent Butterflies were collected, he would immediately leave this place suspected of having cultivators.

That's all for now.

Hearing about his mother and younger siblings, Yang Dong showed a look of anger and hatred. He dared not stand stiffly anymore and walked to the mourning hall to offer incense and kowtow.

"Oh, my nephew Long..."

Unknowingly, he arrived at a teahouse, walked in, and ordered a pot of Biluochun as decoration.

Strict military discipline and obedience to orders were one thing.

All the major and minor forces in the city came, and no one dared to act presumptuously, giving enough face to this behemoth that had revealed a corner.

It was only later that he was surpassed by Yang Dongsheng, who was more outstanding and shared the same surname as the old gang leader. After that, he married the old gang leader's only daughter, the current gang leader's wife, and smoothly cultivated to Internal Qi perfection, ascending to the position of gang leader.

The raging fire burned, and the heads that used to be fierce turned into charcoal, mixed with the paper money, paper figures, paper flowers, and paper ingots put in from time to time, finally turning into hot dust.

"This Third Master Long sent a letter and moved a secret group of retainers of the Four Seas Society, called the 'Four Seas and Eight Wilderness Hall,' which has countless elite soldiers and generals, and once killed the 'Blood Cloud Eighteen Riders' who had slaughtered Four Seas branches many times in a battle in the Northern Plains..."

Thinking that an Internal Qi major accomplishment expert was a rare talent, Yang Dongsheng did not target Yao Xiu much, but promoted him to the Punishment Hall, making him an isolated official who was unpopular.

!.

Slap! A middle-aged warrior with a sinister look in his eyes, whose internal power had already reached major accomplishment, slapped him and lowered his voice, saying coldly: "Think of your mother and your younger siblings!"

Three Four Seas Society Internal Qi warriors ignored Ding Feng's pleas, picked him up, and threw him far outside.

"Shopkeeper Long, it shouldn't be like this; I'm just a middleman..."

"It's just that, the Blue Fluorescent Butterfly..."

In his aura perception and drone footage, the squad leader level officers of the Marquis's mansion were all Internal Qi warriors, almost without exception. In the deeper inner courtyard, one could hardly see ordinary soldiers; the personal guards were all Internal Qi warriors! Although the aura was very chaotic and weaker than ordinary Internal Qi warriors, they were indeed Internal Qi warriors without a doubt.

"Shopkeeper Long!"

The Four Seas Society and the Jin Long Society indeed ended there, but that did not include him. After all, the Four Seas Society was not a martial arts force competing for hegemony, but a business society, and would not fight for any territory.

"Shopkeeper Ding, don't, my uncles and nephews cannot afford your worship."

"Please return!"

"One month, the Four Seas Society promises to collect enough quantity for me within one month."

"Marquis of Zhendong..."

'Mixed Gold Saber' Zheng Ye and other big shots in the city felt relieved at this.

What left a deep impression on him was the Marquis's army!

The Fierce Tiger Stronghold had been wiped out; surely the future wouldn't be worse than it is now, right?

Jiang Ding walked silently on the street, Minor Concealment Technique fully activated; almost no one noticed him, subconsciously ignoring him.

Yang Dongsheng was confident that regardless of strength, vision, or means, he could easily suppress Yao Xiu. Even if he had resentment in his heart, he dared not show it, but instead had to work diligently for him, fearing that he wouldn't do well enough.

Everyone was full of expectations for the future.

Jiang Ding remained silent about this.

It was a young man with slightly red eyes, full of resentment, no longer the high-spirited youth of the past.

"Shopkeeper Long, I have brought you a gift, a gift!"

A few days ago, he went to the Marquis's mansion to probe the bottom. He didn't dare to go deep, just hid his figure and probed from a distance of more than ten meters from the courtyard wall, which was as high as the city wall.

"Uncles, brothers, nephews, my son." Long San's tears flowed uncontrollably: "The enemies are all here, you can all rest in peace."

"With such an army, I can only deal with ten squads at most. A hundred men, a centurion could lead them to defeat me head-on."

It was 'Down-Mountain Tiger' Lu Hou, who had been warmly entertained by the Jin Long Society a few days ago! His mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he could only make wailing sounds, staring at Ding Feng with resentment, wishing he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Several Internal Qi warriors around withdrew their gazes.

Long San recognized this person.

He showed grief, tears welling up in his eyes, and stepped forward to offer incense.

Dongling City returned to calm once again.

Jiang Ding pressed his sword and strolled on the prosperous streets of Dongling City.

Even children dared to come out to play alone, holding brown sugar in their mouths, full of laughter.

In addition, due to over-trapping, the number of Blue Fluorescent Butterflies was decreasing rapidly, and no matter how the production recovered, it could not return to the previous quantity.

"If it's the Marquis's personal guards, the number will have to be reduced again and again."

Since the Four Seas Society paid tribute to the dead Long clan members, the Blue Fluorescent Butterfly trade had resumed, but it had been interrupted before, and a major change like the destruction of the Fierce Tiger Stronghold had occurred, so it would take time to recover to the original production of ten thousand pairs a day.

The youth famous throughout Dongling Prefecture, the young leader of the Yiqi Gang, 'Righteousness Saber' Yang Dong! Long San watched him quietly.

Only one person did not move.

Long San snorted coldly. Several Internal Qi warriors had already drawn their sabers and rushed over. If he dared to pester them again, he would bleed on the spot.

Thinking of this, their gaze toward Long San could not help but become extremely solemn.

Long San stopped Ding Feng, who was fawning in the crowd, slapped the incense and paper money out of his hand, and sneered: "My grand-uncle once said, until we meet again, you will know."

The Punishment Hall master of the Yiqi Gang, 'Evil-Dotting Pen' Yao Xiu, had apprenticed under the previous Yiqi Gang leader when he was young. He was the eldest disciple. In those years, the old gang leader had no sons, only an only daughter, and was almost the designated young gang leader.

Some collateral Long clan members helped him up, and others brought torches to light the pile of heads.

This was the end of the matter.

The hot topic these days was the Four Seas Society destroying the Fierce Tiger Stronghold.

Everyone had something to say.

Some said the Four Seas Society spent a lot of money and the Marquis's mansion sent people to destroy it.

Some said there was a Four Seas and Eight Wilderness Hall, and they moved several martial arts geniuses ranked high on the Dragon-Phoenix Ranking.
