The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 48: Under the Iron Palm Mountain
From Taohua Island to the west, through Changde and Chenzhou, and up the Huanjiang River, between Luxi and Chenxi, there is a mountain that is "shaped like five fingers pointing to the sky."

That is the location of the Iron Palm Gang’s mountain gate that now dominates western Hunan - Iron Palm Mountain!

After leaving Peach Blossom Island, Fang Hao did not stay in the Taihu Dajiangmeng Water Fort for long, but went south along the waterway and came to this mountain.

Looking into the distance from where Fang Hao was, he saw five mountain peaks rising from the ground, which really looked like five fingers standing in the air.

After returning to Iron Palm Mountain, many seemingly true memories revived in Fang Hao's mind.

After all, this was the place where he was born and raised.

"Alliance leader, I have discovered that the Iron Palm Gang's actions in the past few days are probably intended to deal with Haisha Gang leader Chen Liangchen." Zhang Shiwu, who had a weathered face, said to Fang Hao.

"Is there a conflict between the Iron Palm Gang and the Haisha Gang?" Fang Hao asked back.

Zhang Shiwu nodded and began to explain.

It turned out that three years ago, the Haisha Gang’s plan to move north was thwarted by the Dajiang Alliance.

Unwilling to accept defeat, the Haisha Gang used Guangzhou as a stepping stone and headed north from the inland areas to the south of the Yangtze River, where they finally confronted the Iron Palm Gang that dominated western Hunan.

After some probing, both sides found that neither was easy to deal with, so they decided to hold talks at Iron Palm Mountain to discuss the ownership of the territory.

"The two factions are meeting, and given Chen Liangchen's cautious nature, he will definitely not show up in person. Who is coming?" Fang Hao asked.

"The person from Haisha Gang is Chen Liangchen's younger brother, Chen Shunchen." Zhang Shiwu replied.

"How's your martial arts?" Fang Hao asked.

"The problem can be solved with just one move from the Right Protector." Zhang Shiwu seemed to have thought of something, and continued, "What's interesting is that we found another team of the Haisha Gang behind the delegation led by Chen Shunchen."

"Two groups of people, one light and one dark?" Fang Hao thought for a moment and said.

"In my humble opinion, it's not likely." Zhang Shiwu thought for a moment and said, "The group of people in the dark are more like... surveillance than protection!"

"Surveillance?" Fang Hao said thoughtfully, "Interesting. It seems that there is internal strife within the Haisha Gang. I'm afraid Chen Liangchen is planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"Kill with a borrowed knife?" Zhang Shiwu was also a shrewd man and immediately understood Chen Liangchen's plan.

So he continued, "Alliance leader, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Let's help our Boss Chen!" Fang Hao chuckled and said, "It's a good opportunity to borrow an identity and go to Iron Palm Mountain openly!"

……

On the edge of Luxi River, Chen Shunchen, the younger brother of Haisha Gang leader Chen Liangchen, and his party have arrived at the foot of Tiezhang Mountain.

However, it was already late at night, so Chen Shunchen arranged for his brothers to set up camp by the Lu River for the night and then go up Tiezhang Mountain the next morning.

Chen Shunchen looked at the fire in the middle of the tent, full of thoughts, and said nothing.

A confidant at the side handed over a wine bag and said, "Master, it's time to rest."

Chen Shunchen said: "You guys go and rest first, I can't sleep."

"Master, do you have any worries? I wonder if I can help you share your worries?" His trusted and beloved general Ruan Xing said domineeringly.

"It's nothing, I just feel that my brother is becoming more and more suspicious of me." Chen Shunchen said.

After hearing this, Ruan Xingba was stunned for a moment, then he said in a deep voice: "Does the hall master have any evidence?"

"If there was evidence, I wouldn't be so anxious." Chen Shunchen stood up and said self-deprecatingly, "It's funny, when I was a nobody under my brother's command, I never had such worries. But now that I'm the head of the Black Water Hall, I feel even more uncomfortable."

Three years ago, Fang Hao killed Yu Guanhai and Lei Gun, the second and third leaders of the Haisha Gang, causing the Haisha Gang to fall into chaos for a short period of time. Chen Liangchen saw this and could only promote young people in the gang to consolidate his rule. This is how Chen Shunchen was promoted.

If Chen Shunchen had no ability, it would be fine. But Chen Shunchen was generous and loyal, and he quickly built up his own power in the gang, which aroused the suspicion of the gang leader Chen Liangchen.

"Xingba is incompetent and cannot share the worries of the hall master." Ruan Xingba paused and said, "No matter what, I am willing to charge into battle for the hall master, even until my death!"

This is a statement!

Chen Shunchen smiled and said, "No need to be like that. Maybe I'm worrying too much. It's getting late. Let's go and rest."

The two walked back to the camp, only to find a young man in brocade clothes sitting on the main throne, looking at them quietly.

Seeing this, Ruan Xingba drew his steel knife and stabbed the young man in brocade clothes.

The young man in brocade clothes tilted his body, and his long sword fell, hitting the ground deeply.

The young man in brocade clothes stepped forward and pressed on the back of the knife. No matter how hard Ruan Xingba tried, he couldn't move it at all.

Seeing Ruan Xingba's face flushed red, the young man in brocade clothes gently moved his foot away. Ruan Xingba rolled out with his knife, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Who are you?" Chen Shunchen stepped forward and asked, his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if he would attack at any time.

The young man in brocade clothes was naturally Fang Hao. He just smiled and said, "I'm here to save your life."

"Save me? You don't seem like a good person for playing tricks on my brothers like this." Chen Shunchen said calmly.

"Whether you are a good person or a bad person is never written on your face." Fang Hao chuckled and clapped his hands.

The palm force was fierce, like the collision of wind and thunder, the energy was surging, like a gust of wind blowing back, the fierce palm wind, from several feet away, turned the steel knife in Ruan Xingba's hand into iron filings!
Ruan Xingba's eyes widened at the sight of such miraculous martial arts.

Chen Shunchen's pupils shrank as he asked, "Who exactly are you, Excellency?"

"My name is Fang Hao." Fang Hao replied.

"You are the leader of the Dajiang Alliance!" As the leader of the Black Water Hall of the Haisha Gang, Chen Shunchen is familiar with the major water forces in the world today.

In today's world, there are three major factions in the south: the Dajiang League, the Haisha Gang, and the Tiezhang Gang, while in the north, the Yellow River Gang is the only dominant one. The rest, such as the Poyang Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Heluo Sect, are all mediocre and not up to standard.

In the south, his cousin Chen Liangchen's biggest competitors are Fang Hao, leader of the Dajiang Alliance, and Qiu Qianren, leader of the Iron Palm Gang.

As far as he knew, although the leader of the Dajiang Alliance was young, he was a disciple of Peach Blossom Island. As a disciple of Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, one of the Five Greatest Masters in the World, Fang Hao's martial arts had already reached the world's top level.

But the palm technique that Fang Hao just displayed had clearly exceeded the limits of a first-rate master and reached an unimaginable level!
"So, you are here to kill me?" Facing a master like Fang Hao, Chen Shunchen knew he was no match for him, so he sat down opposite Fang Hao carefree.

"I'm here to kill people, but not you." Fang Hao clapped his hands, and a swordsman in black tights threw two heads in from outside.

"The Fang brothers from Lingnan are the top masters my brother just conquered. How come they are here?" Chen Shunchen said.

"We have to ask him about this." The black-clad swordsman Zhang Yimang carried a middle-aged man in front of Chen Shunchen like a chicken.

"Manager Hu, why are you here?" Chen Shunchen was surprised. Manager Hu was his brother's confidant and would never leave the Haisha Gang headquarters easily.

When he contacted the Fang brothers in Lingnan, Chen Shunchen seemed to have thought of something and was shocked.

"Yes, it's just as you thought. Your good brother wants to use Qiu Qianren to kill you."

Fang Hao looked at the two heads at his feet and said, "If Qiu Qianren doesn't kill you, these people will do it for you."
