Chapter 114: Shameless Huang Gou!
Chapter 114: Shameless Huang Gou!
With those words spoken, Ling Feng swept his sleeves and turned, striding out of the courtyard. His eyes, like the icy waters of midwinter, pierced to the bone.
Jiang Wanqing\'s initial instinct was to step forward and stop Ling Feng, but after a few strides, she clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to make a decision. A glint of determination flashed in her beautiful eyes as she once again stepped forward, closely following behind Ling Feng.
Regardless of the consequences, she would fight alongside him this time and die with no regrets!
Perhaps even she herself was not aware that since returning from Luofeng Canyon, Ling Feng had occupied an extremely important place in her heart.
What did it mean to be companions? Only those who were willing to protect each other at all costs were true companions!
The other disciples glanced at each other, seeing the determination reflected in each other\'s eyes.
With gritted teeth and determined stomps, one by one, they all followed suit.
If they did not break out in silence, they would die in silence! Now was the time to break out!
Su Hongxiu pursed her rosy lips, glanced back at the barely conscious Luo Jianying in the room, and clenched her small fists. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Senior Brother Luo, Senior Uncle Ling Feng will definitely seek justice for you!"
After speaking, Su Hongxiu also stepped forward with determined strides, following behind Ling Feng.
With a few disciples who had recently joined the Wenxian Sect, along with Jiang Wanqing, who could barely be considered an expert, this lineup appeared utterly inadequate against the formidable Iron Blood Alliance.
Yet, under Ling Feng\'s leadership, this group of people accomplished things that others wouldn\'t even dare to imagine.
...
Wherever people were, there would be martial arts.
In the Xianzong Mountains, various sects abounded. Within the Wenxian Sect, nine peaks stood tall, beneath which lay over thirty branches; a multitude of forces interwoven in complexity.
Among the elders and the higher-ups, there had already been scheming. The disciples in the sect were also forming groups and factions.
Initially, these groups were formed solely for the purpose of executing sect tasks more efficiently. However, later on, these groups gradually devolved.
They turned into pests that exploited the outer sect disciples and newly joined disciples.
For example, the Iron Blood Alliance, initially composed of the direct disciples of peak leaders from different peaks within the Wenxian Sect. This alliance gathered some of the most outstanding young talents from the sect, aiming to rival the younger generation of the Qiankun Sect and the Liuyun Sword Sect.
However, as time passed, the Iron Blood Alliance began to grow and expand. With more and more disciples joining its ranks, certain aspects of the alliance started to take a turn for the worse.
Injuring Luo Jianying and his accomplices didn\'t necessarily implicate Jing Wuxue, the leader of the Iron Blood Alliance. However, it was precisely because of Jing Wuxue\'s tacit approval that they could act so recklessly and tyrannically.
The higher echelons of the Iron Blood Alliance were not only concerned with the interests of those direct disciples but also involved certain elders who operated behind the scenes.
Such a force was notorious within the inner sect of the Wenxian Sect, yet nobody dared to provoke them.
Huang Gou, a minor leader within the Iron Blood Alliance, was also one of the direct disciples of the nine major peaks. Within the Wenxian Sect, having reached the fifth level of the Pulse Formation Realm, he was considered quite a formidable young expert.
This individual had always been shameless and ruthless. Later, after leveraging connections to join the Iron Blood Alliance, his outstanding performance generated substantial profits for the alliance. In less than half a year, he ascended to the position of this minor leader.
Relying on the Iron Blood Alliance, Huang Gou\'s days naturally became extremely comfortable.
Four or five days ago, he came into a windfall.
There were some newly promoted disciples who had recently joined the inner sect. They dared to attack his underlings, but as soon as Huang Gou intervened, he directly crippled the ringleader and even plundered those unlucky fellows.
Huang Gou was half-leaning on a high-backed chair, his face showing a hint of intoxication. He belched from time to time, patting his bulging purse with delight.
At his feet, there was a lackey, his face ingratiating as he massaged Huang Gou\'s legs, smiling broadly and saying, "Brother Gou, being with you means there\'s food to eat!"
"Haha, it\'s not like that. As long as we follow the steps of the leader of the alliance, we won\'t need to take any risks to carry out those sect tasks anymore. We\'ll have piles of medicine and pills delivered to us every day." Huang Gou grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, reeking of alcohol.
"Yes, yes, yes! Following the steps of the leader is crucial, but the most important thing is to stick with you, Brother Gou, so I can live a good life!"
"Hahaha!" Huang Gou patted the lackey\'s head and chuckled. "Little Liu, I can see you\'ve got potential, kid. Keep it up!"
"Absolutely, it\'s your mentorship, Brother Gou, that we rely on." Little Liu grinned. "Speaking of which, we owe a big thank you to those newcomers from a few days back. They were so brazen, demanding money like they had nothing to lose, daring to oppose our Iron Blood Alliance. Haha! Thanks to you, Brother Gou, they got a taste of your power and were left half-dead!"
"Haha, that last brawl was truly exhilarating. That kid really knew how to take a hit!" Huang Gou grinned, showing his teeth. "Damn it, my hands were sore from pounding him so hard."
"That\'s outrageous! That kid actually made your hands ache. Unforgivable! In a few days, I\'ll send some men to give him another lesson." Xiao Liu hurriedly ingratiated himself, wearing a servile expression.
"No need for further lessons. That kid, Luo Jianying, is practically useless now. But that girl with him, she\'s quite charming. Last time, I was too busy beating people up, hehehe..."
As Huang Gou spoke, he couldn\'t help but excitedly rub his hands together. Saliva was even dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Gou, you\'re talking about that girl named Su Hongxiu, right? Hehehe, she\'s indeed a beauty." Little Liu immediately understood. "I\'ll go and bring that girl back right away. It would be an honor for her to become Brother Gou\'s woman."
"Hehehe!" Huang Gou, thinking about Su Hongxiu\'s graceful figure, swallowed his saliva eagerly and chuckled. "Little Liu, you\'re on the right track, huh?"
Just then, a member of the Iron Blood Alliance burst in through the door, shouting, "B-Bad news! S-Someone is here to fight!"
"Huh?" Huang Gou\'s whole body jolted, and he abruptly stood up from his chair, slamming his hand on the mahogany desk in front of him. He roared, "This is outrageous! Which blind bastard dares to invite trouble upon our Iron Blood Alliance?"
"I-It\'s Ling Feng!" The disciple at the door trembled, his expression filled with panic.
"Who else could it be? So it\'s that Ling Feng after all, hahaha!"
Huang Gou laughed heartily, tilting his head back. "What a clown! He thinks he\'s a big shot after defeating a few useless bastards at the Qi Formation Realm? Hmph, if it weren\'t for his little connection with the young lady of Cangqiong Sect, he\'d be nothing!"
"Exactly, just a little pretty boy selling his looks. Besides being good in bed, what else can he do? Disgusting!" Little Liu spat vehemently, his face twisted in disdain.
"Hmph, since there\'s nobody to teach him a lesson in the sect, I will teach him a lesson today, and make him lick my shoes!"
Alcohol made one bold. Huang Gou was already a bold person, and now that he was drunk out of his mind, he was completely in the delusion that he was the strongest in the world.
