Chapter 126: The Great Dragon Head

Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold.

Within the inner stronghold lies a residential area, housing the managers, staff, and guards of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold.

The person who secretly controls the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold also lives here!

There are many legends about the secret controller of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold; after all, this is the only underground industry in all of Xingcheng that is not controlled by the Tiger Blade Gang.

One must know that the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold has a daily turnover of at least one hundred thousand, making it one of the most profitable industries in all of Xingcheng.

For such a piece of fat meat, the fact that the Tiger Blade Gang has been able to refrain from eating it, and is even willing to abide by the boxing stronghold's rules, is enough to prove the strength of the stronghold's secret controller.

Some say the secret controller of the boxing stronghold is the local premier noble family, the Chen family; others say it is an industry of the Stop-Weapon Academy, backed by a group of powerful registered martial artists, so no one dares to make a move.

There are even those who speculate that it is the industry of the Xingcheng Chief Administrator!

But these speculations are all incorrect; only a very small number of people know that the secret controller of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold is a woman.

"Is your name Liu Saner?"

In a hall with simple and ancient furnishings, weapon racks were placed on the left and right sides, all filled with heavy weapons forged from refined steel.

Liu Saner and Sister Hua both stood in the center of the hall with uneasy expressions, their eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look around.

Upon hearing the question, Liu Saner's body trembled. He carefully raised his head to glance at the hall, seeing only a flash of cyan trouser cuffs and a pair of small black cloth shoes.

"Answering the Great Dragon Head, this small one is indeed named Liu Saner."

Liu Saner said nervously.

Great Dragon Head is the title for the controller of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold.

Sitting on the grandmaster chair carved from yellow rosewood at the front of the hall was a woman wearing cyan clothes with a long braid.

The woman's appearance was ordinary, but her temperament was outstanding, like an unsheathed precious sword; her brilliance was restrained, showing not a hint of sharpness, yet making one afraid to look directly at her.

She is the Great Dragon Head of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold, the true controller of this place!

"Tell me the whole process of how you and that Green-Faced Ghost met."

The cyan-clothed woman's voice was cold and clear, carrying a bone-chilling coldness that made Liu Saner even more nervous.

Liu Saner had never seen the Great Dragon Head of the boxing stronghold before, having only heard many legends.

He only learned today that the Great Dragon Head was a woman.

But he dared not be the least bit presumptuous; instead, he became even more cautious. After hearing the order, he hurriedly detailed everything from his first encounter with Li Fei to later helping Li Fei handle the heavy crossbow, buying elixirs, and other matters.

These matters could be easily verified with a little investigation, so Liu Saner dared not hide anything.

"To be able to kill Zong Guang of the Tiger Blade Gang on a rainy day, this person should be a martial artist. Why would he still need to buy so many elixirs used by Body-Breaking Realm martial artists?"

The cyan-clothed woman's puzzled voice rang out:

"Could it be that, like Zong Guang, he also uses a mutated attribute implant? And possesses some special means to temporarily possess the combat power of a martial artist?"

Liu Saner dared not interrupt at all, and Sister Hua beside him was the same.

Sister Hua was scared to death now, very worried about being implicated by the Green-Faced Ghost; after all, the trouble the Green-Faced Ghost caused this time could be considered offending both the Tiger Blade Gang and the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold at the same time!

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside.

A middle-aged man wearing the special cyan martial robe of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold walked quickly into the hall.

Liu Saner glanced at the other person and recognized who it was.

The person who arrived was named Xiang Du, nicknamed 'Gold-Breaking Hand', who once used a single palm to strike a Heaven-grade boxer who was causing trouble in the stronghold into two pieces!

This is a Qi-Transformation Realm martial artist, and also a member of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold.

Xiang Du walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to the cyan-clothed woman sitting on the grandmaster chair:

"Great Dragon Head, the information has been investigated clearly."

"Speak."

"This Green-Faced Ghost and the Tiger Blade Gang's Private Secretary Zhang Mingze met a total of three times in the boxing stronghold. On the third day after their second meeting, the Sifa Academy's third-level chief judge Feng Zhenshan died. And just now, the Tiger Blade Gang not only issued a kill order for this Green-Faced Ghost but also spread the news that Feng Zhenshan was killed by the Green-Faced Ghost."

"The dead third-level chief judge Feng Zhenshan was an official of Gu Zhenhui's faction?"

"Yes."

"This is getting interesting."

The eyes of the cyan-clothed woman on the grandmaster chair flashed, revealing an interested expression.

"Great Dragon Head, could this Green-Faced Ghost be a person from the Chief Administrator's side? Sacrificing a third-level chief judge to perform a bitter-meat scheme just to kill the Tiger Blade Gang's Private Secretary Zhang?"

Xiang Du speculated.

"I don't think so."

The cyan-clothed woman shook her head, "Gu Zhenhui doesn't seem like a person with such courage, and doing this has both pros and cons, making it easy to chill the hearts of his own people. Positioned where he is, his reputation is still very important."

"Then this Green-Faced Ghost suddenly turning against the Tiger Blade Gang—it couldn't be because the price wasn't negotiated, or the Tiger Blade Gang planned to double-cross him, right?"

Xiang Du asked.

"The possibilities are not high, which is why I find it interesting."

The cyan-clothed woman said.

Xiang Du carefully observed the Great Dragon Head's expression and tentatively asked:

"Great Dragon Head, this Green-Faced Ghost broke the rules you set; should we pursue it?"

The cyan-clothed woman said indifferently:

"If this Green-Faced Ghost broke my rules for some other reason, even if he fled to hide in the main government building, I would still want him dead!

But since he fell out with the Tiger Blade Gang in this way, I think the story behind this must be very interesting, so there is no need to deal with him for now. Anyway, the Tiger Blade Gang has already issued a kill order; let's just wait and see."

"Yes."

Xiang Du bowed again.

Just as he intended to withdraw, another person walked quickly into the hall.

The person who arrived was also a martial artist and a member of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold.

"Great Dragon Head, Yang Xuan of the Tiger Blade Gang has arrived outside the boxing stronghold and wishes to pay his respects to you."

The person bowed to the cyan-clothed woman and then said.

Yang Xuan is one of the Tiger Blade Gang's several Qi-Transformation Realm martial artists and is also a famous expert in the Xingcheng underworld.

"I will not see him."

The cyan-clothed woman refused directly.

The person who arrived was not surprised at all upon hearing this and continued:

"Yang Xuan said that if the Great Dragon Head is unwilling to see him, he wants to ask the Great Dragon Head for someone."

"Ask for whom?"

"The Green-Faced Ghost's boxing agent, Liu Saner."

Liu Saner, who was on the side, felt a buzz in his brain upon hearing this; his body swayed, and his hands and feet turned ice cold.

He felt that he was definitely finished. He was just a lowest-level boxing agent; the Great Dragon Head would absolutely not have any conflict with the Tiger Blade Gang for the sake of a small person like him.

However, he still did not understand this Great Dragon Head of the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold enough.

"Coming to my territory to take away my person?"

The cyan-clothed woman's tone was even colder, as if a precious sword were emitting a low hum in its scabbard:

"Tell him to go back and tell Yu Hu: if he wants someone, if he has the guts, he can come to the boxing stronghold and find me himself!"

"Yes."

The person bowed again, preparing to take the message to Yang Xuan.

"Also."

The cyan-clothed woman's voice continued to ring out:

"During this period, I do not want to see anyone from the Tiger Blade Gang enter the boxing stronghold. If one enters, kill one!"

As the words fell, the entire hall was filled with a murderous aura, making people feel chilled to the bone.

"Yes!"

The martial artist who came to report left with the Great Dragon Head's order.

Xiang Du, who remained, did not find such an order strange at all, but Sister Hua and Liu Saner were shocked. Both knew their Great Dragon Head was very powerful, but they never thought she would be this powerful, actually daring to confront the Tiger Blade Gang head-on like this!

Sister Hua carefully glanced at the cyan-clothed woman, a speculation arising in her heart.

She had previously always felt that their Great Dragon Head should be a Qi-Transformation Realm martial artist, and with a few other martial artists in the stronghold, this force configuration was about the same as what the Tiger Blade Gang put on the table, which was why she could control the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold and make the Tiger Blade Gang wary.

But now it seems that the other party's realm might be even higher than she imagined!

"Alright, you may all disperse."

The cyan-clothed woman signaled for everyone to leave.

After everyone had withdrawn, she stood up and walked to the corner, picked up the rotary telephone on the table, and dialed a number.

After a while, the call connected, and a serious voice came from the other side:

"Who is this?"

A brilliant smile bloomed on the cyan-clothed woman's face, and her cold, clear voice became gentle, as if at this moment she was no longer the Great Dragon Head who ruled the Qingyuan Boxing Stronghold, but a little girl:

"Senior Brother Hao, it's me."
