Sand city.
In the square of the Tianxiahui headquarters.
Oh…
ha…
kill…
The roar was deafening.
Hundreds of people lined up in a team, following a figure in the front to practice martial arts. Under the scorching sun, everyone's sweat fell like drops of water.
But in this situation, no one was lazy, instead, everyone's eyes were shining.
"Remember this, martial arts is your best weapon to survive in this world. If you sweat now, you will bleed less in the future!
The leader has shown mercy to you by passing on martial arts that you may never be able to learn in your entire life. If you don’t know how to cherish them, you will regret it in the future!
On the contrary, if you practice martial arts well with all your heart, the leader can give you power, beauty, money and other things!
All you have to do is be loyal to the gang leader and be loyal to the Tianxiahui!
… ”
Ah San stood on a high platform, wearing gorgeous robes. His voice was emitted by his internal force and echoed far away.
More than ten days have passed since the Tianxiahui destroyed the Sha Gang.
Today, Sand City is completely under the control of the Tianxiahui.
In the past few days, Tianxiahui has been recruiting people on a large scale and finally made up for the disadvantage of insufficient manpower. The number of people in the entire Tianxiahui has reached an astonishing more than one thousand people.
Once we recruit people, we certainly can't let them sit idle all day.
In order to make the strength of these ordinary gang members able to keep up with the future expansion of the Tianxiahui, Yan Xiong began to teach these ordinary gang members in layers the martial arts that the Tianxiahui had collected from gangs such as the Sha Gang, the former Chihuo Gang, and the Three Wolf Gang.
As a modern man who traveled through time, Yan Xiong naturally would not hold the martial arts secrets tightly in his hands like those people in power in this world.
On the contrary, because his own strength was improving extremely rapidly, he particularly hoped that these gang members could become stronger as soon as possible.
Therefore, anyone who joins the Tianxia Association can obtain the first level of a ninth-grade martial arts technique and a ninth-grade martial arts move for free in the martial arts pavilion set up by Yan Xiong.
In the future, if you make meritorious contributions, you can learn higher-level martial arts based on your merits.
For ordinary gang members, martial arts that cost hundreds of taels of silver are simply out of reach.
Therefore, when Yan Xiong announced that all gang members could learn the skills in the Kung Fu Pavilion, the Tianxiahui's sense of belonging increased rapidly.
These ordinary gang members who had no chance to learn martial arts simply regarded Yan Xiong as a god or bodhisattva.
Now, except for the gang members who are on daily patrols and missions, all the people in the Tianxiahui have been divided into four groups by Yan Xiong.
The ordinary boxing and kicking techniques were taught by four ninth-grade warriors, Niu Kui, Bu Jingyun, Shen Xu, and Feng Liu who surrendered to the Tianxia Society.
A few days after Yan Xiong's performance progress reached 20%, Asan and Bu Jingyun broke through and entered the realm of ninth-grade warriors.
Now, in addition to Yan Xiong, Tianxiahui already has five ninth-rank warriors.
Among them, Bu Jingyun is the strongest.
Although the Pai Yun Palm martial art is shown as an eighth-grade martial art in Yan Xiong's role-playing template, that does not mean that it is an eighth-grade martial art.
If you really think about it, you can say that this martial art is of the first grade.
The reason why it is displayed as the eighth grade is simply because Yan Xiong himself is only at the eighth grade, so the power of this martial art cannot exceed the eighth grade.
Therefore, as soon as Bu Jingyun, who had learned the Pai Yun Palm, broke through to the ninth rank, with the help of the Pai Yun Palm, his strength directly ranked among the ninth rank masters. I believe that soon, when he is familiar with the realm, he will be able to fight against the peak ninth rank warriors.
The reason why Bu Jingyun and Asan broke through was because they were bound by Yan Xiong and became his subordinates.
As long as Yan Xiong breaks through, they will be able to break through as well.
Although they will always be separated from Yan Xiong by a realm, as long as Yan Xiong's performance progresses, their strength will also improve.
Of course, it is not an increase out of thin air, it will just make their martial arts improve faster invisibly.
Except Bu Jingyun and Asan.
The latest breakthrough person in Tianxiahui is Niu Kui, a man who is loyal to Yan Xiong.
The reason why he made a breakthrough was because Yan Xiong gave him the hundred-year-old ginseng that Xu Sheng had given him.
The hundred-year-old ginseng can help a ninth-grade warrior break through to the eighth-grade, so naturally it will also be effective for those who are not of the ninth grade to break through to the ninth grade.
With the help of ginseng, Niu Kui also made a breakthrough and became a ninth-rank warrior.
"Reporting to Chief Asan, the gang leader is summoning you!"
The Tianxiahui was newly established, so there were naturally many mundane affairs to deal with. Yan Xiong had never liked managing these things, so he appointed Asan as the general manager of the Tianxiahui to handle miscellaneous affairs for him.
"Did the gang leader say what it was about?"
Ah San paused his speech and asked.
"I don't know!" the man replied.
Because the current Tianxiahui headquarters is the former Chihuo Gang headquarters.
The place here is too small to accommodate thousands of people, so Yan Xiong asked Shen Xu, Niu Kui and Feng Liu to take the others to the headquarters of the Sha Gang, the headquarters of the Three Wolf Gang and the training ground of the Donglin Escort Agency for training.
Among the four waves of people, the one led by Bu Jingyun was the most valued by Yan Xiong.
These people were basically selected from those who signed up to join the Tianxiahui and other gangs, as well as the slaves he adopted.
It can be said that this group of people is the most talented.
In order to train these people as quickly as possible, Yan Xiong not only teaches them himself from time to time, but also asks Asan to give them speeches to increase their loyalty.
"Jingyun, you take them to practice by themselves, I'll go over there."
Asan nodded, then spoke to Bu Jingyun who was leading the martial arts teaching in the audience.
"Yeah!" Bu Jingyun nodded coldly.
…
When Ah San arrived at the courtyard where Yan Xiong lived, a man just happened to walk out of the courtyard.
The man came with a folding fan in his hand and a smile on his face. When he saw Ah San, he clasped his fists towards him and left the courtyard.
This person was none other than Xu Sheng, the young master of the Xu family.
"Boss!"
Asan bowed to Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, playing with a jade ring in his hand, and said:
"Mr. Xu said that their company's spies in Fancheng found out that Zhou Renshou, the elder of the Shahai Sect stationed in Fancheng, is heading towards Shacheng!"
"Boss, is he here for the purpose of offering sacrifices?"
Ah San frowned and asked.
"Whether they come here for offerings or not, it's disadvantageous to us."
Yan Xiong continued to play with the ring.
He didn't expect that the Shahai Sect would react so quickly. In less than half a month, they actually received the news from Shacheng and immediately sent Zhou Renshou who was stationed in Fancheng to rush to Shacheng.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.
"How is the move to the silver vault under the Li Mansion going?"
The silver vault under the Li Mansion was dug out a few days ago. After the mechanism was cracked, they have been moving the silver out these days.
"Boss, we have already finished moving this morning, and we got a total of 400,000 taels of silver!"
Upon hearing this, Ah San immediately replied.
"I never thought that Li Shenzhou would leave us such a large sum of money after his death. We really have to thank him."
Yan Xiong smiled.
Four hundred thousand taels of silver was almost the monthly income of Shacheng for several years.
If this money falls into the hands of Tianxiahui, it can be used to do many things for Tianxiahui.
"Don't I remember that we found a batch of explosives in the Sha Gang's warehouse last time?" Yan Xiong asked.
"Yes, this batch of explosives was made by the Central Plains Tang Sect. It is very powerful and has been transported to our warehouse."
Ah San nodded and replied.
"Send someone to use these explosives to blow up the ruins of Li's mansion again. I want Zhou Renshou to find no clues!"
Yan Xiong pinched the ring and said in a cold voice.
No matter whether Zhou Renshou came to investigate the murderer of Li Shenzhou or to collect offerings.
He couldn't be careless.
Although he now possesses the strength of an eighth-grade warrior, it would be best not to confront the Shahai Sect.
The most perfect solution is to focus on development.
"But Boss, we have blown up Li's mansion now. As long as Zhou Renshou is not stupid, he should be able to tell that the explosives are new!"
Asan expressed his concerns.
His concerns are correct.
Anyone with a discerning eye can basically tell when the explosives exploded.
"That's easy. Take a few people with you at night and put on the clothes of the Black Sand Village to go and bomb. Remember, make sure your clothes are visible to others.
I want everyone in Sand City to know that the Li Mansion was bombed by the people from Black Sand Village."
Yan Xiong said with his eyes narrowed.
The big guys in the thirteen cities of the borderland all have a consensus, that is, all the bad things were done by Heisha Village.
Heishazhai has already taken a lot of blame, so it doesn't matter if it takes another one.
"I understand. I will do it right away!"
Ah San nodded.
"Yeah!" Yan Xiong nodded.
"By the way, you don't have to be so reserved with me in the future. I feel like you've become much more reserved since I became the gang leader!"
After talking about business, Yan Xiong talked about a problem that he was not used to recently.
Ever since he started implementing his plan, Ah San seemed like a different person, becoming much more reserved in front of him.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's not that I don't want to behave like before in front of you, it's just... it's just that you've been so powerful lately that I get scared the moment I get close to you!"
As soon as Yan Xiong finished speaking, Ah San's expression changed and he started to flatter him.
Forehead…
Well! Wen Chouchou is back.
Yan Xiong always felt uncomfortable when Asan didn't flatter him enough.
But when Ah San's Wen Chouchou style returned, he felt that this guy was flattering him too much.
I'm not a divine beast, how can I make people tremble with fear just by approaching me!
…
That night.
"Everything is arranged!"
Asan was wearing a black tights and had a veil on his face.
"Asan always..."
As soon as a subordinate who was also wearing black clothes and a mask called out Ah San's name, Ah San suddenly turned around and stared at him.
"What did you call me?"
"Hei Shi Chief, I'm reporting to you, Hei Shi Chief, I know I was wrong!"
The man was startled by Ah San's eyes and quickly changed his words.
"Remember this, we are now from the Black Sand Village, and I am the leader of the Black Ten in the Black Sand Village.
If anyone calls me that wrongly when we fight with Master Bu's men later, don't blame me for killing you on the spot!"
Ah San looked around and said in a cold voice.
“Yes!”
There were a total of seven people around, all of whom were good fighters picked by Asan. At this moment, under his sharp gaze that seemed unusually bright under the moonlight, they felt a chill in their hearts and responded hurriedly.
Don't think that Asan is like a loyal servant in front of Yan Xiong.
In the eyes of these gang members, he is also a ruthless and merciless person.
Because of violating gang rules, he has killed no less than six or seven people with his own hands.
Seeing that everyone understood the importance of this trip, Ah San said no more and looked at the moon.
Bang bang…
"It's the third hour! Be careful with the candles!"
The sound of the night watchman beating the gong could be heard.
"ignition!"
At Ah San's command, everyone quickly opened the fire and ignited the fuse of the explosives that had been buried long ago.
Hiss hiss hiss…
The fuse began to burn.
"Walk!"
Ah San called out and quickly led everyone out of the ruins of Li's mansion.
Boom…
Because the buried fuse was very long, they ran a long way along the street before a loud bang was heard from Li's Mansion.
Accompanied by blazing flames and thunderous, earth-shaking sounds instantly resounded throughout the entire Sand City.
"Damn it, it's started again! Are they planning to blow up the Sand City or something?"
In a shabby room, an old man was awakened by the loud noise. He turned around and climbed onto the roof through the window silently. Looking at the bright firework-like lights in the distance, the old man glanced at the headquarters of the Red Fire Gang in the dark with a curse.
"I told you it was annoying, but you said you liked this smell full of murderous aura! Are you annoyed now?"
Behind him, a man with an ordinary face was sitting on the roof and spoke expressionlessly.
"We can't stay in this Sand City anymore. We need to move to another place. After offering sacrifices to the heaven, that kid is full of good fortune. He will definitely attract the shamans of Tianji Pavilion. Let's move!"
The old man said bitterly.
"Where are you going?"
"Go farther away. We can't set up the Mobei branch in the border city anymore. We should retreat to Tianliu City."
"By the way, leave someone here. That guy is rich now, ambitious and lucky. He will definitely have a new target. Don't miss this business when the time comes."
…
"How dare you, Black Ten, come to Sand City and act wildly! Die!"
The loud shouting could be heard clearly by the surrounding residents.
Ping pong…
The sound of fighting spread farther and farther along the street, towards the city gate.
"Is it Black Ten from Black Sand Village?"
"Why did Black Sand Village come to the city for no reason?"
"The sound of explosives came from the Li residence. Could it be that Li Shenzhou was killed by the Black Sand Village?"
"It's possible. Judging from the amount of explosives, the Li residence should have been blown up directly. It should have been used to destroy the clues. But the Tianxiahui found the person who ignited the explosives."
…
Murmurs began to be heard from the rooftops along the street.
These people are all gangsters living in Sand City.
People in the underworld are never afraid of trouble. When they encounter a fight, they not only don't hide, but also move forward in the hope of gaining benefits.
The next day, everyone in Sand City was talking about what happened last night.
"I heard that it was the people from Black Sand Village who killed Master Li Shenzhou and left clues in the Li Mansion. They came to destroy the clues last night."
"So it's the Black Sand Village. I was wondering who would be so bold as to kill Master Li. It wouldn't be surprising if it was the Black Sand Village."
"Indeed, when the Thirteen Border Town Bandits were wiped out in Sand City, Master Li did take action. I heard that the leader of the Black Sand Village, Liang Xian, is one of the remnants of the Thirteen Bandits."
…
PS: Liang Xian, the leader of Heisha Village, plays the role of Liang Xianpeng and Liang Wang’s friend. I forgot to mention it yesterday. I’m sorry.
This character is also a character whose name is only known and has not yet appeared in person.
However, it is not far from the debut.
sginbgj The character of Tang Chen’s friend will be released soon. Spoiler alert, he is the person that the two Seven Kill Assassins suggested to stay mentioned above.
Besides, this chapter is pretty good! 4,000 words →_→
