Chapter 97 Unexpected
Rising Sun Gang, Council Hall.
Gang leader Tian Hongxu was dressed in a black outfit. On either side of him, deputy gang leader Bu Qin had his sleeves tucked in, and Ding Yang had his hand on the hilt of his sword. All three men looked solemn.
They only want to use Penglai's name to expand their territory and business.
Unexpectedly.
The Zoroastrian sect inexplicably got into a fight with Penglai at Fuchuan Mountain.
Therefore.
The three had to reassess whether it was still worthwhile to board the ship in Penglai.
"Penglai is, after all, a reputable sect. We can use their name to fend off petty thieves and ensure our business can proceed smoothly. As for real assistance, there's no need for that."
Seeing Tian Hongxu hesitate, Deputy Leader Bu Qin said, "Leader, Penglai's foundation is not in Fujian. It's too far and the mountains are too high. We don't need to go against the Zoroastrian Church for their sake."
Ding Yang agreed, saying, "Brother Bu is right. If they want a share of Quanzhou's business, they have to settle things with the Demonic Sect first."
Tian Hongxu nodded slightly.
"You two are right, that's what I think too."
"In the battle of Fuchuan Mountain, it is a foregone conclusion that Penglai will suffer heavy losses. The Zoroastrian Church is extremely ruthless. If Penglai wants to take revenge, it will have no chance without mobilizing a large number of troops. We cannot completely rely on them."
Bu Qin and Ding Yang's expressions relaxed.
"If they want to recruit people from our Rising Sun Gang, we'd better come up with an excuse to refuse, so that we neither participate nor offend Penglai."
Just as he was about to devise a plan, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the doorway.
Then came an urgent cry: "Something terrible has happened! Young...Master! Young Master...something horrible has occurred!"
The message was delivered with a tone of terror, and a commotion could be heard from a great distance.
Not just Tian Hongxu.
Upon hearing the sound, both Bu Qin and the other person frowned slightly.
A few days ago, the young leader of the Beggars' Sect had a falling out with the newly appointed Quanzhou branch leader and was severely beaten and scolded by the old leader.
It's only been a few days?
Will something else go wrong this time?
Thinking about it that way.
The two were filled with helplessness.
The gang leader is good in every way, except that he spoils the young gang leader too much.
But when four burly men carried the door panel into the hall, everyone present was speechless.
Tian Guixi lay on the door panel, his clothes stained with blood, lifeless.
"Clang!"
Tian Hongxu crushed the teacup, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The burly man who carried him in was terrified when he saw the enraged gang leader.
Bu Qin and Ding Yang also felt a chill run down their spines.
As Tian Hongxu approached, his anger was already ignited.
He had a son late in life, and while the son was a bit of a scoundrel, ...
Tian Hongxu forced out the words through clenched teeth, his voice chillingly cold: "Who did it?"
"Tell me, tell me the truth, what happened, don't leave out a single word."
Several gang members wiped away cold sweat and immediately recounted everything in detail.
He then handed over the token that had fallen from the murderer's body.
"Good! Good! Good! The Zoroastrianism has gone too far! I only met with Penglai once or twice and did not express my support for Penglai, yet they killed my son without any regard for right or wrong!"
"Do they think they can do whatever they want in Quanzhou?"
Tian Hongxu laughed in extreme anger, which stirred up his internal energy, causing his temples to throb and the veins on the back of his hands to bulge.
Bu Qin and Ding Yang looked at each other in silence, only one thought remaining in their minds:
That's it, this feud is now irreconcilable, there's no way to stay out of it now.
At the beginning of spring, the weather is fine, the sun is warm and the spring is green.
Quanzhou, both inside and out, exudes a charm reminiscent of the poem: "The tide is calm, the bridge's shadow lies on the river in spring, and the willow buds are just beginning to unfurl, the grass is fresh and green."
A carrier pigeon flew to a tall building in the East Gate of Quanzhou. A man in black shorts took the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and hurried away.
At 1-3 PM, the sun rises.
Tian Hongxu paced back and forth, while Penglai Dulingzi sat upright in a chair. Yin Subai, on one side, gripped his single arm tightly, his empty sleeve swaying gently.
"Brother Du, the leader of the Qingyuan Society, Wei, has connections with the Dongying Gang in Rongzhou. According to his inquiries, the Qingshan bandits no longer exist, and the Zoroastrian Church has no experts stationed in Quanzhou."
Du Lingzi slowly shook his head: "Chief Tian, please calm down. The sect leader has ordered that we wait for Junior Brother Jue Chenzi to arrive with his men before making a decision."
Tian Hongxu then said to Du Lingzi, "The Zoroastrian Church has many informants. The fact that Sect Leader Lingxuzi has mobilized so much power cannot be kept secret. If they find out, they will surely abandon the temple and flee."
Du Lingzi stroked his beard and pondered, "What Chief Tian said is quite right, but the sect leader has ordered that everything should wait until Junior Brother Jue Chenzi arrives."
Tian Hongxu suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot: "Brother Du, the enemy is weak and we are strong right now. If we wait any longer, we will give them a chance to catch their breath. Let's join forces in one corner and make sure the Zoroastrianism is wiped out of Quanzhou!"
The Zoroastrian sect poisoned more than fifty people from Penglai, causing Penglai to lose face, and Dulingzi was naturally furious.
Looking at the resolute expression on Tian Hongxu's face, he felt a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
"Uncle-Master! Chief Tian is right! In the battle of Fuchuan Mountain, Senior Brother Qu and more than fifty others were brutally poisoned to death. This is an irreconcilable hatred! Now that the enemy is weak and we are strong, it is time to strike straight at Dayunming Temple!"
Yin Subai clenched his fist, glanced at the severed arm that Zhen Quan had cut off, and his eyes were filled with raging anger.
"Let's destroy the Dayunming Temple first. Once Uncle Juechenzi arrives in Quanzhou, we'll wipe out the Zoroastrian sect's influence in Fujian and make them pay for their crimes in blood."
Du Lingzi's eyes flickered slightly, clearly persuaded, but she remained cautious.
"The Beggars' Sect and the Zoroastrianism have a long-standing feud. In two more days, I've already sent someone to invite Chief Qiao. With the three factions working together, we're sure to strike decisively!"
Tian Hongxu knew that Du Lingzi was always steady in his actions, so he didn't press the matter further.
"Okay, two days at most!"
"My son's body is barely cold; we cannot delay any longer. If there is no news in two days, and your family does not come to me, I will have no choice but to take matters into my own hands!"
Turin's cold glint flashed and disappeared.
If it weren't for the fact that the Quanzhou matter still needed to be addressed under the name of the Rising Sun Gang, he would have definitely lashed out.
North of Quanzhou is Dayunming Temple.
The once-thriving Buddhist temple has lost all trace of its Zen spirit.
Since Jiang Hua's incident, the temple has been completely devoid of non-Buddhist monks.
Hao Yingzong secretly mobilized troops from various places, and the entire temple was filled with soldiers.
If people come to offer incense and worship Buddha.
The monks only said that the temple was under renovation and would be closed for a few days, so they would not be receiving visitors for the time being.
At that moment, a follower rushed over and knelt on one knee: "Master! News has come from Quanzhou!"
Hao Yingzong, who was practicing the Sacred Flame Token, immediately put the token into his bosom.
"The informants in Quanzhou discovered that Tian Hongxu of the Rising Sun Gang was frequently visiting Penglai's hideout, so it's estimated that the two sides have already made contact."
"The brothers in the north have also sent word that Penglai is mobilizing troops at Mishen Mountain and will soon head south to Fujian. It seems they are also coming for us."
Hao Yingzong immediately revealed his vicious nature.
"It's to be expected that Penglai would want revenge after suffering a loss at Fuchuan Mountain. But the Rising Sun Gang is really asking for trouble, daring to get involved in this mess."
"Okay! Okay, okay!"
Since arriving in Quanzhou, he has remained secluded in a temple, hoping to see if anyone would dare to challenge him.
If the Rising Sun Gang and Penglai don't arrive in two more days, he will have to make further arrangements.
"Send word! Have someone set up ambushes along the way to delay the southward advance of the Penglai forces as much as possible."
"Send another message to the main altar, requesting the Left Envoy to coordinate and mobilize the brothers of the Chijinlun Black Stone Altar in Tingzhou to reinforce the Dayunming Temple."
"This time, I will ensure they never return, leaving not a single one alive!"
"Go there immediately!"
