The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 83 Establishing Prestige
In early April, on the empty platform, the Fanhai Gang exchanged soldiers for food, and the whole city went crazy for looting.

Common people ran between money shops, grain shops, and high platforms, exchanging money for grain, and then exchanging grain for soldiers.

The rice fields outside the city are filled with human figures. After the people pass by, the green rice disappears and the black soil is exposed.

On the same day, tens of thousands of people witnessed the fierce tiger Qin Zhiming defeating the mad python Fan Jingyi, and he became the new and powerful man in the county city in the past three years.

On the same afternoon, numerous gang members of the Jingtao Gang were killed or injured in their territory.

Outside the government office, people were lining the door in exchange for rewards.

That night, a servant of the Bai family and his entire family were killed.

The death was tragic, and it was suspected to be done by Wu Yajue of Huiwei Martial Arts School.

On the morning of April 2, many of Gao's granaries caught fire, and columns of smoke rose into the sky across the city.

In the afternoon, the Gao family announced that they would close all the grain stores in the city and stop selling grain, suspected of receiving unknown threats.

An hour later, the price of food in the city rose by 60%.

At the same time, the survivors of the Di family complained to the government that the Jingtao Gang colluded with the evildoer to wipe out the entire Di family.

The county magistrate was furious and announced that he would send four practitioners to fight against them.

On April 3, a branch of the Jingtao Gang was shocked to see swarms of rats and black wolves with human faces all over the place, and tens of thousands of gang members were killed.

That night, thousands of people claimed that under the moon, human heads were hanging in the air and corpses were walking in the streets.

On April 4, the plague first broke out in the outer city, and all the families and adjacent houses of those who were infected were burned down.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Late at night, the chirping of insects is deafening.

Ah Wu held the torch, yawned, and looked at the stone wall in front of him.

The stone wall is several meters high, and there is a small hole in the wall every ten steps.

There is a candlestick in the cave, on which is a white candle burning white flame.

Whenever he found that a white candle was about to burn out, Ah Wu would quickly step forward and take out a new white candle from his arms to replace it.

Half an hour later, Ah Wu gradually felt sleepy.

Suddenly, someone laughed behind me.

Ah Wu frowned and looked towards the woods shrouded in darkness.

The laughter made people feel dizzy and frightened.

Ah Wu wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead and looked forward.

There are ten more candles not far away. You can go back after changing them.

Thinking of this, he calmed his mind and walked forward quickly.

At this time, the laughter was getting closer and closer, as if it was right next to my ears.

After changing the candles, Ah Wu breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to the stone wall along the same route.

He covered his ears and took a few steps.

As Yu Slide passed by, he immediately turned his head to look to the left.

There were trees and grass, and no one was there.

But he just clearly saw a figure flash by.

Fear entangled my heart like a poisonous snake.

Ah Wu didn't care about anything else and ran quickly.

In the corner of his eye, the figure was getting closer and closer, and his appearance was becoming clearer and clearer.

He was a herbalist with red lips and a body covered in mud.

Just as the grinning herbalist raised his hoe and rubbed it towards Ah Wu, he was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes.

"Ah-Five?"

Ah Wu opened his eyes.

The herbalist disappeared, and was replaced by his companion Lu Ze who had taken over the shift.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ze looked around vigilantly.

Ah Wu told him truthfully what he had just seen.

Lu Ze smiled:

"It's okay, didn't Master Li say so?
As long as we stay within the range of the white light, monsters and evil creatures can do nothing to us.

Go back quickly, drink the hot soup mixed with incense ash, and have a good sleep, and you will be fine."

Ah Wu nodded, said goodbye to Lu Ze and continued on his way.

Soon, a bright door appeared.

The guards stopped him as usual.

After taking a quick look around and finding nothing unusual, he let him in.

At this time, Ah Wu turned his head and looked behind him.

He vaguely saw that beside a big tree not far from the gate, the herbalist was grinning at him with his head tilted.

Ah Wu was so frightened that he shivered and ran to the stove where a big pot was placed.

The cook was used to his appearance, so he served him a bowl of hot blood-activating soup and sprinkled some incense ash on it from the incense burner at the feet of the Dragon King in the gang.

After drinking it all, Ah Wu exhaled a breath of black air, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He turned his head and looked outside the gate again, and this time there was nothing unusual outside the gate.

Seeing this, the young man in a long gown next to the cook took out a booklet and drew a line on it with a brush.

Then he said something to the cook and left quickly, passing countless chicken coops, pig pens, stables, cowsheds, and houses where no one was talking.

The young man stepped into a larger house.

There were five guards at the door of the main house, and three men and one woman were sitting inside.

The young man walked in and took out the booklet.

He bent down and handed it to Master Li, who was thin and dressed in black and sitting on the main seat.

After reading the booklet, Master Li frowned:

"Another guard who got into trouble, this is the fourth tonight.

When I first came here, there was only one person every two or three days.”

The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him listened and said worriedly:

"At this rate, will there be enough exorcism candles and incense ashes?"

The middle-aged man opposite him stroked his goatee:

“Enough. When we came out, the gang bought most of the exorcism candles in the city.

Most of those exorcism candles are now in our hands.

As for incense ash, almost everyone in the gang worships the Dragon King, so there is plenty of it."

"I still feel it's not right. Should we send someone to the city to ask Mr. Hong? Let's see how long we can stay here?"

The oldest of the three men said.

After hearing this, Master Li sighed:
"What did I say before I came here? No one is allowed to contact the city.

Mr. Feng, I miss you as an elder in the gang, and I have tolerated you time and time again.

I've told you many times not to mention sending people into the city.

But, up to this evening, you were still proposing to send someone to the city.

I'm sorry to have wronged you. Please don't go out during this period.

I will send someone to deliver three meals a day to you."

Old Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that Master Li would dare to imprison him with just one sentence.

He slapped the armrest: "Let's see who dares!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards standing outside the door came into the room.

The leader was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Mr. Feng.

"Li Yi! Don't take advantage of the fact that Mr. Hong is not here and act recklessly!
You don't allow us to contact the outside world by any means, but you use carrier pigeons every day?

Who knows, is it Hong Gong or someone else you contact every day?

Maybe you have already betrayed the gang and wanted to sell the hall masters' properties to the Jingtao Gang in order to gain a better future.

And this woman, they said she was a bodyguard?
Then why is she on an equal footing with us?

I'm afraid she's a prostitute you brought in here to satisfy your sexual desires?"

Everyone followed what Mr. Feng said and looked at the fair-skinned woman sitting next to him.

The fair-skinned woman had a slender figure and was wearing a black tight-fitting outfit.

A pair of upturned almond-shaped eyes are charming and attractive.

This woman was none other than Li Nian Yao.

Master Li looked at the other two men, but they showed no reaction.

It seemed as if he already knew what was going to happen tonight.

He picked up the teacup and said softly:
“After all this talk, it turns out you want to seize power and even replaced your guards with your own people.

Please, girl, please show some mercy."

Mr. Feng immediately shouted:
"Capture her and Li Yi! I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

Looking at the four people rushing towards her, Li Nian Yao looked up and smiled.

After a while, the house was in a mess.

One had his head separated from his head, one had a sunken chest, one had his abdomen opened and his internal organs exposed, and another was split in two.

Old Feng lay on the ground, dragging his twisted legs, crying and holding his son's body.

Master Li ignored him and looked at the two men who were sweating profusely:

"As for Mr. Feng, I will give Mr. Hong an explanation after this matter is over.

I know what you are thinking. This place is dozens of miles away from the county town. You don’t know the situation in the county town, nor do you know why you are hiding here.

If anything unexpected happens in the county city, then the family members of the hall masters here will be in control.

No matter who comes, even if it is Mr. Hong himself, there will be a way out.

Fear has blinded your minds, and I can forgive you this time.

But if anyone does or says something like he did again that would cause a riot or want to enter the city.

I don't care what that person's purpose is, I will execute him on the spot.

You two? Any comments? "

The two men glanced at each other.

Li Nianyao, leaning against the door, looked up at the moon with blood on her hands and quickly shook her head.

"No." "I don't dare."
