Chapter 665: Plucking the Heart and Taking the Gallbladder

After hanging the hook in the Green Garden Building, the music player checked again to confirm that Mr. Master Kongfang had left no other means, and then hid in the inner room of the office.

Li Li Banfeng called Qiu Qiu Zhiheng, Luo Zhengnan, Tan Tan Jinxiao, and Bai Bai Wusong, and divided the territory of the Underground City:

"From today on, the Human Market is handed to Brother Qiu, the Earth Market to Brother Luo, the Sea Market to Brother Tan, and the Inner Gate of the Bai He Gang to Brother Bai.

What do you brothers think?"

Everyone declined. Qiu Qiu Zhiheng and Luo Zhengnan had the same idea; they thought their contribution was too small, and it was inappropriate to get such a large piece of territory.

Li Li Banfeng thought it was appropriate. Qiu Qiu Zhiheng and Luo Zhengnan were the most experienced and capable people at the moment. Whether the Underground City could be held or not

really depended on the means of these two people.

Tan Tan Jinxiao also didn't want to stay. He sent others away and said a sincere word: "Seventh Brother, I came to the Underground City and messed around for so many years to fight for a way out for the old brothers. And the matter is done, so I should go back.

I have the cultivation of the Cloud-Above, and my own territory. Staying in the Underground City like this, the territory and cultivation will all be wasted."

Li Li Banfeng said: "The Underground City has just been taken down, and it needs someone familiar with the Underground City to watch the stall. Among all of us, you are the most familiar with the Underground City. How can you just leave like this?"

Tan Tan Jinxiao still recommended Bai Bai Wusong: "Little Xiao Songzi is also familiar with the Underground City. You hand the Sea Market to him."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Bai Bai Wusong hasn't returned to the Underground City for more than twenty years. His temperament is also not suitable for being a leader here."

Tan Tan Jinxiao still wanted to leave. Li Li Banfeng sighed:

"I can't keep you; I can only change someone to keep you."

A voice came from the inner room: "Old Tan, haven't seen you for so many years, your ego has grown. Can't the Sea Market, such a good place, keep you?"

Hearing this voice, Tan Tan Jinxiao didn't speak for a long time, and tears swirled in his eye sockets several times.

In front of Li Qi, these tears couldn't flow out. There were many things he wanted to say, but in the end, he only said one sentence: "General, are you still alive?"

The music player responded in the inner room: "Yes, alive. Can you give me some face?"

Tan Tan Jinxiao turned to Li Li Banfeng and said: "Seventh Brother, then I will listen to you."

Li Li Banfeng smiled and asked Old Tan to invite Bai Bai Wusong in.

Bai Bai Wusong's situation was different from theirs. He really couldn't hold down the Bai He Gang.

After Bai Guan died, the Bai He Gang was looking for Bai Bai Wusong to settle accounts, and they definitely wouldn't support him as the Sect Master.

Now even the outer gate knew about this. Bai Bai Wuchuan even sent out news, saying that Bai Bai Wusong killed his uncle Bai Guan to compete for the position of Inner Sect Master, and the hat of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors had been put on him.

Bai Bai Wusong himself didn't want this Sect Master position, and he didn't want people to poke his spine: "Seventh Brother, I will return to Green Water City tomorrow, find Bai Bai Wuchuan to make it clear, and if there is anything you need me for in the future, just call."

Li Li Banfeng said to Bai Bai Wusong: "I have already sent someone to handle this matter. In two days, I will let Bai Bai Wuchuan come to Three-San San San Tou Cha and apologize to you in person."

Bai Bai Wusong shook his head repeatedly: "Seventh Brother, this cannot be done. Don't make things difficult for my junior brother; he doesn't know the inside story."

Li Qi smiled: "Even if this can deceive me, can it deceive yourself? Bai Bai Wuchuan knows, he knows everything. He is afraid that you will take his position and deliberately makes things difficult for you."

Bai Bai Wusong sighed. He was an honest man, but an honest man was not unreasonable. He understood Bai Bai Wuchuan's intention in his heart: "Seventh Brother, I never thought about competing with him."

"I know you don't compete, but the principles must be made clear. From now on, the Inner Gate of the Bai He Gang will be in charge of major affairs. Any major event in the gang must be approved by the Inner Gate. If Bai Bai Wuchuan doesn't agree, the Bai He Gang won't be under my care in the future."

Bai Bai Wusong was anxious: "Seventh Brother, this cannot be done!"

Bai Bai Wusong had also heard about the affairs of the Qingyun Society and the Hundred Flower Sect. As long as Li Qi let go, the Bai He Gang would be taken over by He He Jiaqing immediately.

The Bai He Gang was not big, but not small either. The foundation of the physical cultivators in Puluo Province was all here. He He Jiaqing definitely wanted to keep the signboard of the Bai He Gang, but he might not keep the people.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Brother Bai, consider it carefully again. Do you want to be this Sect Master or not?"

Bai Bai Wusong was a bit anxious: "Seventh Brother, if I become the Sect Master, I am afraid that in the future—"

"Don't be anxious yet. The matter isn't finished. After you become the Sect Master, there are two things you must listen to my arrangements. The first thing, I heard that the Bai He Gang only recruits physical cultivators who can transform into birds?"

Bai Bai Wusong said: "This is the gang rule, but I don't think so. As long as they are physical cultivators, they are my fellow disciples, and three-headed people are too."

"That's right, they are all fellow disciples. From the day you become the Inner Sect Master, this rule must be established. You must allow three-headed people to enter your gang, protect them, and help them. Can you agree?"

Bai Bai Wusong thought for a moment and nodded.

Li Li Banfeng said again: "The second thing, disciples of the Bai He Gang cannot serve as leaders in various places, cannot have too much contact with leaders in various places, and must watch what the leaders in various places do. If they do something wrong, you must help them correct it."

The meaning of this sentence was very clear. Li Li Banfeng required the Bai He Gang to have a certain degree of checks and balances on the leaders in various places.

Hearing this, Bai Bai Wusong was relieved. The Bai He Gang that Li Qi wanted was exactly the same as the one he thought of in his heart.

Li Li Banfeng called everyone in and arranged three additional things.

"The first thing, collect a batch of grain, supplies, and weapons every month and send them to Bai Sun Commandery outside the boundary line."

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng and Luo Zhengnan were a bit troubled. They had heard of Bai Sun Commandery, but didn't know where Bai Sun Commandery was.

Tan Tan Jinxiao was also troubled. He knew where Bai Sun Commandery was, but he didn't have a road permit to pass through the boundary line.

Li Li Banfeng said: "I will find a way for the road permit, but the supplies must be sent. The second thing, spread the news of the Saint's orphan in all parts of the Underground City, including the area around Luo Xia Mountain. The third thing, allow personnel from other parts of the Three-San San San Tou Cha to enter the Underground City and give them a chance to settle down here."

Life in the Underground City was bitter, but in the Three-San San San Tou Cha, people who could enter the Underground City were considered lucky. People on the ground lived much more bitterly than those in the Underground City.

Qiu Qiu Zhiheng said: "Old Seven, the third thing is slightly difficult. As far as I know, the Government Office of the Three-San San San Tou Cha cut off the supply route of the Human Market to the outside, and business is not easy to do."

The goods transported out by the Human Market were the main source of income for the Underground City. The Government Office wanted to choke the Underground City.

Li Li Banfeng had been prepared for this matter: "In two days, I will go talk to Liao Liao Zihui, and by the way, handle the matter of the road permit."

At the main hall of the Bai He Gang, Bai Bai Wuchuan was furious: "What kind of bullshit statement is this? For so many years, when has the Bai He Gang been decided by the Inner Gate?

If Bai Bai Wusong wanted the position of Sect Master, why didn't he come to find me openly? He actually ran to the Three-San San San Tou Cha and led outsiders to break the rules of our gang? What is his intention?"

Several hall masters were filled with righteous indignation, expressing that Bai Bai Wusong could not be forgiven easily, and some even proposed to clean up the sect.

There was a hall master named Ji Ji Xinrong who advised Bai Bai Wuchuan: "Sect Master, we must consider this matter carefully. This is not Bai Bai Wusong's idea alone; Li Qi is standing behind him."

Bai Bai Wuchuan was angry about this: "I know this is Li Qi's idea. The outsider I speak of is him. His hand stretches too long. The affairs of our Bai He Gang are not for him to manage."

Ji Ji Xinrong said: "Sect Master, let me say a word. He He Jiaqing has sent us quite a few posts. Who do you think we should find to manage it?"

Bai Bai Wuchuan glared at Ji Ji Xinrong: "Are you threatening me?"

Several other hall masters also came at Ji Ji Xinrong:

"Old Ji, did you take Li Qi's benefits?"

"How much money did Li Qi give you? Is it enough to support your family?"

"I saw long ago that you were in contact with Bai Bai Wusong. You are also a species that deceives the master and destroys the ancestors!"

Ji Ji Xinrong waved his hand: "Sect Master, I don't have the courage to threaten you. The one threatening you isn't me either. I am just reminding you.

The leaders of the Qingyun Society and the Hundred Flower Sect have all been changed, and He He Jiaqing has also sent us quite a few posts. If we really fall out with Li Qi, where should we go next?"

He He Jiaqing sat in the office of the film company and looked at the roster of the Bai He Gang.

"Who sent this?"

Duan Duan Shuqun said: "This is the letter of intent sent by Meng Xiujie, the hall master of the Bai He Gang. He said he doesn't want anything else, just hoping that after we take over the Bai He Gang, we can keep the position of hall master for him."

He He Jiaqing smiled: "How can keeping just one hall master be enough? For such talent, giving him a position as Deputy Sect Master is what should be done."

Duan Duan Shuqun nodded repeatedly: "Old Meng is not bad; he should indeed be reused."

Shen Shen Rongqing was a bit worried: "The Bai He Gang has always been under Li Qi. If we take him in, will we provoke Li Qi again?"

He He Jiaqing looked at Duan Duan Shuqun: "Have you checked this?"

Duan Duan Shuqun nodded: "I really went to check. Bai Bai Wuchuan now has a not-so-small conflict with Li Qi. Li Qi is in the Three-San San San Tou Cha, wanting to support the Inner Gate of the Bai He Gang, and even appointed a new Sect Master for the Inner Gate.

This is both seizing Bai Bai Wuchuan's power and slapping Bai Bai Wuchuan's face. Bai Bai Wuchuan definitely can't hold his face."

He He Jiaqing smiled: "If he can't hold his face, let him come to find me. You go tell him, as long as the Bai He Gang submits to me, he can still be the Sect Master. I estimate Bai Bai Wuchuan is waiting for these words from us. He Jiaqing, wait for my good news!" Duan Duan Shuqun left happily.

Shen Shen Rongqing was sweating for Bai Bai Wuchuan.

Based on her understanding of He He Jiaqing, she could infer the subsequent events. He He Jiaqing would let Bai Bai Wuchuan be the Sect Master for two months first to show that he kept his word,

but He He Jiaqing didn't trust outsiders. Two months later, he would definitely make Bai Bai Wuchuan disappear and arrange for someone else to take over the Bai He Gang.

Who could this new Sect Master be?

Seeing Old Duan so happy, it was estimated to be him.

"Shen Rongqing," He He Jiaqing interrupted Shen Shen Rongqing's thoughts, "How is the preparation for the initiation meeting of the Hand-Foot Alliance?"

Shen Shen Rongqing replied: "There is one at three o'clock this afternoon, with a total of thirty-eight people. All have reached the initiation standard, and I have prepared them."

He He Jiaqing looked at the time: "I will attend this one. Seeing Datou, you prepare the initiation medicinal powder on your side and send it to the warehouse of the conference room. Remember, prepare it for a hundred people."

Shen Shen Rongqing asked again: "There are a few young female members who say they are confused about the future and want to communicate with you alone about the core of the new order. He Jiaqing, are you going?"

He He Jiaqing frowned: "Communicate what insights with me? You are the number one talented woman in Puluo Province; isn't communicating with you enough?"

Shen Shen Rongqing smiled and said a bit awkwardly: "The way they communicate might be a bit different. Maybe it's because they—" He He Jiaqing waved his hand: "Forming the Hand-Foot Alliance is for our common dream. If they have similar thoughts again, please ask them to leave immediately!"

Shen Shen Rongqing admired this point of He He Jiaqing the most; he could resist temptation.

Everyone was busy with their own work, and only Seeing Datou was left in the room.

He He Jiaqing took a box of elixirs and gave it to Seeing Datou: "Brother, how high is your cultivation now?"

Seeing Datou said: "According to my own sensing, it should be at the eighth layer!"

He He Jiaqing smiled: "How long have you been in Puluo Province, and you have already risen three layers of cultivation. Such good talent is rare."

"Don't talk about talent," Seeing Datou waved his hand, "It's all fed by your elixirs. He Jiaqing, if I hadn't met you in this life,

I would be nothing, and I couldn't do anything."

"Don't say such things. We are all brothers; we should live with dignity!"

Seeing Datou lowered his voice: "I have been to the Ghost Hand Sect to inquire during this time. Laughing Thousand-Hands is still looking for you everywhere. You appear frequently in Green Water City; I am afraid it is a bit inappropriate."

"It is a bit inappropriate." He He Jiaqing looked at Seeing Datou. Among so many subordinates, the only one who always paid attention to He He Jiaqing's safety

was Seeing Datou.

After thinking for a moment, He He Jiaqing said: "You go find the mole in the Ghost Hand Sect and ask about Xie Xie Juncong's recent whereabouts."

Seeing Datou nodded and was about to go out, but was called back by He He Jiaqing.

"Seeing Datou, don't ask the mole. You take a group of people and prepare to make a move on the Ghost Hand Sect."

Seeing Datou nodded and was about to go out, but was called back by He He Jiaqing again.

"Seeing Datou, wait!"

Seeing Datou looked back at He He Jiaqing, feeling he was a bit strange: "He Jiaqing, what's wrong with you?"

He He Jiaqing stared at Seeing Datou for a long time: "I tell you to do something, and you do it. Don't you think too much?"

Seeing Datou didn't understand He He Jiaqing's meaning: "Why should I think too much? You wouldn't harm me."

He He Jiaqing was silent for a long time: "You go home and pack your things. I will find someone to buy you a ticket, and I will send your family to Medicine Yao Wang Gou in a while."

Seeing Datou was stunned: "What for in Medicine Yao Wang Gou?"

He He Jiaqing said: "I bought a residence in Medicine Yao Wang Gou and also took over a silk shop. You go there and hide for a while."

Seeing Datou was stunned: "Why do I have to hide?"

He He Jiaqing handed Seeing Datou a cigarette: "I want to gamble once. I want to make a clean break with Laughing Thousand-Hands. If I win the gamble, we brothers will live with dignity together. If I lose the gamble, you just stay in Medicine Yao Wang Gou and don't come out."

Seeing Datou was shocked. This was the time to fight for his life with Laughing Thousand-Hands.

At such a time, how could he leave?

"He Jiaqing, if we want to gamble, let's gamble together. I will stay by your side; at least I am a helper."

He He Jiaqing shook his head: "This gamble is too big. Your cultivation is not enough; I can't let you die."

"What about Old Duan and Shen Shen Rongqing? Why don't they have to hide, and only let me hide alone?"

"My grudge with Laughing Thousand-Hands, they didn't participate in. But you did.

Old Duan and Shen Shen Rongqing have foundations in Puluo Province; they have a way out. But you don't.

Letting you hide in Medicine Yao Wang Gou is the last way out."

Seeing Datou shook his head: "I won't go. Life and death, we brothers are together—"

"Cannot be together. You must live, brother," He He Jiaqing kept staring at Seeing Datou, "You must be well! Be well!"

After sending Seeing Datou away, He He Jiaqing rested for a while and came to the venue.

Thirty-eight newcomers were waiting at the venue. As soon as He He Jiaqing appeared, everyone stood up in unison and bowed to He He Jiaqing.

He He Jiaqing pressed his palm down, signaling everyone to sit: "We are all hand-foot; no need for courtesy."

They were originally fans of "Blood Blade Detective," abandoning the bonds of family and life to become official members of the Hand-Foot Alliance.

After taking the medicine that accumulated Dao fate, they reached the initiation standard after a period of strict training.

After sitting down, He He Jiaqing said: "In these days, everyone has experienced tempering, endured tests, gained growth, and gained trust and friendship between hand-foot.

Now that the sacred moment has arrived, you will change from newcomers of the Hand-Foot Alliance to warriors of the Hand-Foot Alliance. I am sincerely proud of the achievements made by everyone—."

After saying some encouraging words, He He Jiaqing let Shen Shen Rongqing go to the warehouse, take out the medicinal powder, and distribute it.

This work was originally the responsibility of Seeing Datou, but Seeing Datou had already gone to Medicine Yao Wang Gou. He He Jiaqing was afraid that Shen Shen Rongqing would make a mistake, so he asked Shen Shen Rongqing to confirm one thing repeatedly: it must be distributed according to different names.

"Everyone has different choices. The Hand-Foot Alliance always respects the wishes of every member. Shen Rongqing, the medicinal powder must not be wrong!"

Shen Shen Rongqing asked: "How to deal with those medicinal powders without names?"

He He Jiaqing lowered his voice to the lowest: "Keep them in the warehouse first and wait for the next batch of newcomers."

After Shen Shen Rongqing checked repeatedly, the medicinal powder was distributed to everyone.

Every member applied the medicinal powder on their body in front of He He Jiaqing.

This medicinal powder was really painful.

Although they had undergone strict training before, quite a few people at the scene still cried out in pain.

A young woman named Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue bit her lip tightly in pain, biting until it bled.

He He Jiaqing asked with concern: "Can you hold on? You cannot take painkillers now, otherwise it will affect the effect of the initiation."

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue shook her head: "I came here because I trust you, because I want to follow you, and because I want to build a new order with you, an order that allows Puluo Province to regain its dignity and faith. For this, I am willing to pay everything—"

This was a line from "Blood Blade Detective 9."

Saying this line at this moment reflected Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue's reverence for He He Jiaqing, as well as her personal quality and loyalty to the Hand-Foot Alliance. Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue said with a firm expression: "Mr. He, just rest assured—"

"Don't call me Mr. He. From now on, we are all hand-foot; call me Brother Qing." He He Jiaqing nodded with approval, then went to observe other members.

After more than half an hour, everyone was fine. He He Jiaqing asked Shen Shen Rongqing to arrange accommodation and let everyone rest.

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue lay in the dormitory of the film company for more than an hour, then ran to ask for leave from Shen Shen Rongqing: "Miss Shen, I want to go out for a walk. I chose the Traveling Cultivator medicinal powder, and these two legs can't help but want to move."

Shen Shen Rongqing was surprised: "The effect of this medicinal powder is really fast. You are a good seedling for a Traveling Cultivator. Go for a walk, don't come back too late. You still need to take medicine tonight to improve your cultivation."

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue left the film company, walked around the surrounding streets twice, then went to the back pond, arrived at an old house door east of the orange-yellow noodles, and knocked on the door.

The way she knocked was very special: seven long and eight short, knocking three times in a row.

The door opened. Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue didn't greet the doorman and went directly to the main hall.

Ghost Hand Sect Sect Master Xie Xie Juncong sat in the main hall, looking at Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue with a smile on his face: "Girl, are you back?"

"Little Pincer Lü Qiaohua pays respects to the Master." Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue bowed deeply.

Who would have thought that this woman with a face full of bookishness, a woman who opened her mouth with full literary and artistic sentiment, a woman who claimed to be devoted to He He Jiaqing, was actually a pincer of the Ghost Hand Sect.

"Girl, any harvest today?"

"Yes!" Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue took out a small porcelain bottle, and the initiation medicinal powder was placed in the bottle.

She didn't apply this medicinal powder; she used the means of a Stealing Cultivator to put the medicinal powder in a small bottle and hid it in her sleeve.

Xie Xie Juncong asked: "Did He He Jiaqing give this to you?"

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue nodded: "Thirty-plus people, one portion for each person, and quite a lot left over, stored in the warehouse behind the conference room. The conference room is in the sixth room on the third floor."

Xie Xie Juncong checked carefully and nodded: "Genuine good stuff."

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue smiled.

Xie Xie Juncong pinched Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue's face and smiled: "Girl, you have made a great contribution. From now on, you are my goddaughter. No need to find work on the street; just stay by my side."

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue sat on Xie Xie Juncong's lap: "Daughter thanks Father."

Xie Xie Juncong took the medicinal powder and went to a residence outside the city to find Laughing Thousand-Hands.

He knelt in front of Laughing Thousand-Hands, presented the medicinal powder, and told the whole story.

Seeing that the medicinal powder was real, Laughing Thousand-Hands sighed repeatedly.

"Little Xie, it's not that I look down on you people, but He He Jiaqing really has ability. I gave him a bamboo, and he could crack the prescription of the peddler. You say why there is no one as useful as him among you?"

Xie Xie Juncong said: "But this person has a rebellious bone; his heart is not on the side of the ancestors."

Laughing Thousand-Hands looked down at Xie Xie Juncong: "Is your heart on my side?"

Xie Xie Juncong kowtowed: "The disciple is loyal to you!"

"Good! I believe you. After you go back, let that mole of yours stay by He He Jiaqing's side, don't reveal any flaws,

then you gather people, go to He He Jiaqing's place, and steal all his medicinal powder for me. Don't leave a single bit."

Xie Xie Juncong was stunned: "Old Ancestor, what do you want this for? I heard He He Jiaqing doesn't have the medicinal powder of our Dao sect. The medicinal powder of other Dao sects is of no great use to us."

Laughing Thousand-Hands said: "It's useless to us, but it's of great use to He He Jiaqing. You just go, don't ask too much. After the matter is done, I definitely won't treat you unfairly!"

At 2:30 in the morning, in the old house of the Ghost Hand Sect, Old Sect Master Xie Xie Juncong called all the pincers from various territories.

"Everyone knows about this business tonight. The work is not easy to do, but the rules remain the same. Once the deal is done, try not to cause any loss of life."

An old pincer asked: "Master, if we make a move on the First Young Master, can we not be settled accounts with later?"

Xie Xie Juncong smiled: "I am going with you; what are you afraid of? Even if the Ancestor settles accounts, he has to find me.

We haven't stepped on the plate much this time. Be careful when making a move. Whoever takes those things, don't think about embezzling them. They must be handed over to me. Do you all understand?"

The pincers nodded.

"If you understand, then do it!" Xie Xie Juncong gave an order, and twenty-plus pincers set off.

Stealing Cultivators have fast footsteps, second only to Traveling Cultivators, but this group of people didn't walk fast.

These pincers had seen the world, and they didn't want to rush to the front for business they hadn't stepped on the plate for.

Xie Xie Juncong urged from behind: "This business was ordered by the Ancestor. Whoever doesn't put their heart into it, if the Ancestor gets angry,

it's hard to say how to deal with you. You all think clearly about the consequences."

Hearing this, everyone still hurried on their way slowly. Xie Xie Juncong's words were just to scare the rookies; they couldn't scare these old hands.

Arriving at the film company, a group of pincers just looked around and no one took the initiative to step forward.

Xie Xie Juncong asked: "What are you planning to do? Want to wait until dawn?"

An old pincer said: "Master, it is said that the film company of the Ling family is full of mechanisms. We should be cautious, and we won't suffer a loss."

These people really intended to wait it out. Xie Xie Juncong was helpless and had to lead the charge himself. He didn't take the main door, climbed up the third floor along the outer wall, pried open the bars on the window, and entered the corridor.

Others didn't fall behind and entered the building together with Xie Xie Juncong, leaving two people outside to keep watch.

These two watchmen were very alert. One stood near the door, watching the movements of the gatekeeper, while also observing whether anyone was entering or leaving.

Another hid on the side of the road, observing passing pedestrians to prevent anyone from cutting off their retreat.

Xie Xie Juncong came to the door of the conference room on the third floor. Just as he was about to push the door, he hesitated for a moment and then retreated.

A pincer behind him asked in a low voice: "Master, are we retreating?"

"Retreating what?" Xie Xie Juncong glared at the pincer, "I feel there are mechanisms here."

Several pincers explored and shook their heads one after another; they didn't see any mechanisms.

Someone counted twice from beginning to end; this was indeed the sixth room, and they hadn't found the wrong place.

But Xie Xie Juncong still felt something was wrong. He gnawed on his thumb, gnawed a point on his thumbnail, and probed around the door lightly.

Click.

His thumb trembled. Xie Xie Juncong probed a thin silk thread by the door. His inference was correct; there was indeed a mechanism on this door.

Xie Xie Juncong blew a breath of air toward the wall and observed for a long time.

This was a Stealing Cultivation technique, blowing dust to find cracks, specifically used to discover mysteries in hidden places.

This time Xie Xie Juncong saw the thin silk thread on the wall. This thread was thinner than a hair, and he didn't know what material was used. Xie Xie Juncong's fingernail flicked on the thread lightly, and the "Conference Room" door sign changed, turning into an editing room.

Everyone was shocked; this was an illusion.

Counting again from the end of the corridor, everyone finally discovered that this was not the sixth room, but the fifth room. Previously, they were affected by the illusion, and all of them had counted wrong.

This mechanism was done superbly, and Xie Xie Juncong's technique was also superb. In the blink of an eye, he could resolve the illusion cleanly.

The conference room was next door. Two pincers opened the door, and everyone entered the room cautiously, heading straight for the warehouse behind the conference room.

There were quite a few candles in the conference room. All the candles suddenly lit up, flickered for a moment, and then went out. Beside the conference table, a figure slowly emerged.

Xie Xie Juncong was greatly shocked; he was familiar with this figure.

He turned to leave, but found that the four walls were all white, and he couldn't see where the door was.

Everyone was terrified. They had just entered through the door; how could this door disappear in the blink of an eye?

Not only did the door disappear, but even the windows disappeared. There were only white walls all around. Light could penetrate through the walls, allowing them to vaguely see the figure on the conference table.

That person spoke, and every word was very clear.

"I came here because I trust you, because I want to follow you, and because I want to build a new order with you, an order that allows Puluo Province to regain its dignity and faith. For this, I am willing to pay everything."

It was Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue.

Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue slowly stood up from beside the conference table, looking at everyone with a cold expression.

She seemed not to know Xie Xie Juncong, nor did she know every pincer present.

Through the shadows on Xiao Qian Xiao Qian Sangxue's face, Xie Xie Juncong saw the source of the light. He bumped into the wall, broke the illusion, bumped out of the conference room, and came to the corridor. He wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but couldn't exert any strength.

He felt cold in front of his chest and breathing was very difficult.

Stealing Cultivation technique, plucking the heart and taking the gallbladder.

Xie Xie Juncong's heart and gallbladder were plucked by He He Jiaqing, but he wasn't dead yet. He He Jiaqing still hung a life for Xie Xie Juncong, letting him watch with his own eyes how the twenty-plus people of the Ghost Hand Sect died.

These twenty-plus people were not ordinary gang members; they were the strongest combat power of the Ghost Hand Sect, the foundation and backbone of the Ghost Hand Sect.

And now these twenty-plus people turned into corpses all over the floor in the blink of an eye, lying under the conference table, but Xie Xie Juncong was too lazy to even look at them.

He He Jiaqing lay beside Xie Xie Juncong's ear and asked: "Old Xie, the Ghost Hand Sect is finished just like that; don't you feel heartache?"

Xie Xie Juncong didn't want to listen to He He Jiaqing speak; he was only thinking about how to save himself now.
