Chapter 5 Ugly Face
"Tell me, what's the matter!"

The man called 'Young Master' spoke.

The master waved toward the door, and then a young man with dark skin and ugly appearance walked in.

"Young Master, this is Zhang Tie from Qinghe Valley, and he is also the brother of Han Li." The master pointed at the young man and introduced him, "He has good talent and is now at the third level of the Mortal Body Realm."

"Third level of the Mortal Realm, what kind of person is that?" The young master sneered and chuckled a few times with a hint of sarcasm. He glanced at Zhang Tie nonchalantly and asked indifferently, "What about Han Li?"

Zhang Tie gritted his teeth and said with hatred in his eyes: "Han Li was killed by that old thief Shi."

The young master's right hand, which was playing with the wine glass, suddenly stopped.

"That damned power-dissolving powder is useless," Zhang Tie said with hatred, not knowing who the young master was. "That old thief killed Han Li in one go."

“Impossible!” The young master turned his head abruptly, staring at Zhang Tie, and said word by word: “No one in the world can escape the Five Poisons Detoxification Powder I developed!”

"Even if there is, it's not something an old man in his seventies or eighties can resist."

"Then how could Han Li..." Zhang Tie wanted to argue unconvinced, but was interrupted by the young master: "Did you see how Han Li died?"

Zhang Tie was stunned. After getting the news from Gu Mo, he fled in a panic and never thought of going back to check whether it was true or not.

Seeing Zhang Tie's hesitant look, the young master chuckled and said with interest: "This old man must have some hidden tricks to kill Han Li, but it's not a big problem, his life will be mine sooner or later."

"What a pity for Han Li," the young master smacked his lips and said, "He is already at the fifth level of the Ordinary Body Realm, and he is still so young. What a pity."

The young master shook his head regretfully, as if he was sorry for the death of a good hunting dog.

"You can go down," the young master glanced at Zhang Tie. The latter's ugly appearance and ordinary qualifications did not arouse his interest at all. He waved his hand in boredom.

Zhang Tie had no choice but to leave in frustration.

"You arrange a few people to send him off." The young master looked at Zhang Tie's departing back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Okay." The master accepted the order.

"This old thing," the young master put the wine glass on the table, his face suddenly became gloomy and his eyes were sinister.

"Master, I have another trick. I guarantee that the old man will spit out everything and die without a burial place." The lawyer bowed his head with a sinister smile on his face.

"Oh," the young master was very interested: "What's Wenhe's plan? Tell me quickly."

After a long time, a sinister laugh came from the side room, which frightened several graceful dancers.
The next morning, at cockcrow.

Several uninvited guests broke into Qinghe Valley.

The leader was the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Yang Song, who was at the seventh level of the Ordinary Body Realm. He led his men straight into the Green Crane Valley, found Shi He, and said with a fake smile, "Old Shi, come with me."

Shi He pretended to be surprised: "I wonder what Shi has done wrong?"

Yang Song sneered: "You don't think you can keep such a big thing in Qinghe Valley secret, do you?"

As he spoke, he put on a righteous expression, "You killed your disciples for no reason. As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, I must seek justice for those innocent members."

Shi He smiled and looked at Yang Song with deep eyes.

However, going to the meeting hall was in line with his wishes, so he didn't say much and simply followed Yang Song.

Gu Mo followed a few steps and said worriedly, "Master."

Shi He waved his hand nonchalantly: "Nothing, just stay here and guard Qinghe Valley."

Yang Song followed Shi He closely and snorted coldly with a hint of sarcasm.

After they left the mountain pass, they headed straight for the Black Water Gang headquarters. Yang Song followed Shi He closely, and took two disciples with him to the same carriage, which was driven by a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall. In the carriage, several people kept their eyes on Shi He at all times, fearing that he would escape.

The Blackwater Gang's headquarters was only a few miles away from Qinghe Valley, and it didn't take long for the group to reach their destination.

The Blackwater Gang headquarters was built along the Shang River. The entire building was dozens of meters high, with a high bulge in the center that gradually descended to the surroundings, forming an oval shape, like a huge black tortoise shell clinging to the ground. Compared with the low-rise houses seen along the way, it was very magnificent.

After entering the gate, several people dispersed, leaving Yang Song and two law enforcement disciples to watch Shi He and went straight to the central hall.

In the hall, at the very top sat an old man with white hair.

The old man was dressed in black, with a blood-red ring on his right hand. He was large and strong, and despite his age, he still had a majestic aura. Sitting on a large carved chair, he looked like a crawling tiger, ready to strike.

On both sides below the old man, there were four slightly smaller carved chairs, two of which were empty.

Shi He knew that of the two empty chairs, one was his and the other belonged to Yang Song, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

The old man was the gang leader Yuan Hongri, the first on his left was the deputy gang leader Situ He, and the other five were two elders and three managers.

As soon as Shi He came in, all eyes were focused on him. There were nine people on the field, and eight eyes were focused on him. Some were peaceful, some were sharp, some were playful, and some were full of malice.

Shi He restrained his aura, looking extremely old and listless. Everyone could feel the decadence emanating from him.

"Brother Shi, you are old." Yuan Hongri spoke to break the silence, his voice full of energy.

"I think of the days when Brother Shi was so handsome and dignified, his medical skills were superb, he saved countless lives and was known as the best doctor in Shanghe. But now..." Yuan Hongri looked at Shi He, seemed to recall the past, and sighed for a while.

"Master Shi may be old in body, but his heart is young." Deputy gang leader Situ He said calmly with his eyebrows lowered.

"Oh? What do you mean, Situ?" Gang leader Yuan Hongri glanced over.

Situ He was nearly sixty years old, with black and white hair, a gloomy face, thick eyebrows, eagle eyes, and deep nasolabial folds. He wore a black robe with his hands hidden in the wide sleeves.

"Boss, you don't know," Situ He bowed to the old boss, then looked at Shi He and said calmly, "For some reason, Lord Shi killed all the brothers who were sent to Qinghe Valley yesterday, including Han Li, a very talented young man. And when Hall Master Yang went there this morning, he found that Qinghe Valley was no longer guarded by anyone except an old man. I'm afraid there is another hidden meaning behind this move."

"Shi He, is this true?" Yuan Hongri frowned, stared at Shi He, and asked in a deep voice.

The 'Stone Brothers' in his mouth has become 'Stone Crane'.

"This Han Li is rebelling against his superiors and trying to kill me," Shi He said, looking directly at Situ He and asked, "I am already old, so if I resist him, I might accidentally kill him, what's wrong with that?"

Yuan Hongri frowned and turned to look at Situ He.

"You said that Han Li committed insubordination. Do you have any evidence?" Situ He said calmly, "And from what I know, Han Li is quite talented. Given time, he will become another pillar of our Black Water Gang. I admire him very much and have given him many skills to train him. I wanted to take him as my disciple, but I didn't expect you to kill him."

"If you don't punish me for your behavior, will there be any talented people joining our Blackwater Gang in the future? How can we dominate Shanghe County?"

Situ He said sternly.

After hearing Situ He's words, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Yuan Hongri looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "Shi He, do you have any evidence?"

Shi He sneered inwardly.

When did the Black Water Gang start talking about evidence? If someone who doesn't know what's going on sees this, they might think this is a court.

I want to ask for punishment, but I can’t find any!

"Okay, okay, you are really a bunch of old dogs. I know what they are for, but what I didn't expect was that you, Yuan Hongri, actually have such an ugly face."
