Start with a red name

Chapter 181: Cursing in person and taking the opportunity to clean up
Geng Xuan nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have the casualties been counted?"

Feng Yu's expression changed again when he heard this.

Before the action, in order to maximize the killing efficiency of the one hundred Xuanyou Iron Cavalry that suddenly appeared.

Feng Yu divided the hundred Xuanyou Iron Cavalry into seven teams, with each team led by a marrow refiner.

In this way, the seven Xuanyou Iron Cavalry suddenly rushed out and weaved back and forth among the crowd of mercenaries, thus creating the greatest results in the shortest time.

Feng Yu certainly took into consideration the powerful enemies at the marrow refining level among the mercenaries.

According to the information that Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others got from Baiyuanji, among this group of mercenaries, there is one in the middle stage of marrow refining and four in the early stage of marrow refining.

Taking into account possible hiding, Feng Yu estimated that there were six to seven marrow-refining people among this group of mercenaries.

The reason why he did not estimate it higher was because each of these "bosses" hired from Yuanjing had to be hired by Wu Yi with real money.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more gold and silver you consume.

However, the Wu family’s financial resources are limited.

Even with his own mentality, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of marrow refining, and he could not be bribed or hired with simple gold and silver.

He has this idea, and according to the general mentality of Yuanjing practitioners that they are superior to others, it should be even more so.

——Feng Yu did not take into account that Wuyou Palace was secretly pushing this matter.

Because of this analysis, Feng Yu decided to split the hundred Xuanyou Iron Cavalry into seven groups.

This will not only cause greater casualties, but also prevent mercenaries from escaping as much as possible.

Even if a certain Xuanyou Iron Cavalry was blocked, as long as the enemy did not have the means to kill them instantly, he would be confident that he could respond quickly.

And kill any powerful enemy that appears.

When the battle really started, Feng Yu realized that he was still blindly optimistic.

The powerful enemies in the Marrow Refining Realm were not only more in number than he expected, but also of higher quality than he thought.

So much so that all seven "arrows" were blocked.

And without the "arrow head", those iron cavalry teams composed of gang members in the Bone Refining Realm and Blood Refining Realm.

Faced with hundreds of mercenaries from all directions, who were either in the Bone Refining or Blood Refining realm, the situation suddenly became dangerous.

Under the circumstances at that time, splitting the hundred cavalrymen into seven small teams turned out to be a bad move!
If all the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry were still gathered together, even if all the marrow refining realms were blocked.

Once more than ninety Xuanyou Iron Cavalrymen charge, even three or four hundred cultivators of the same level of cultivation cannot resist them!
——From the time the seven Iron Cavalry squads charged out to the time when the nine mercenaries, the powerful marrow-refining warriors, jumped out to block them almost at the same time, the seven Iron Cavalry squads had already achieved considerable results.

But after these ninety-odd riders were divided into seven teams, the situation changed.

Can't move forward.

Almost all of the Giant Bear Gang’s losses tonight were caused by this.

In order to prevent the cavalry squad from charging and joining forces, the mercenaries launched an almost crazy attack.

The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable.

This process did not last long.

Geng Xuan shot two arrows and rescued Feng Yu.

Hong Quan led seventy-four cavalrymen to the battlefield, specifically targeting the group of mercenaries who were "cohesively" besieging the Iron Cavalry Squad.

One by one, the cavalry squads that had been tripped up regained their speed.

As the cavalry squads charged forward, they turned into blades in a blender.

The situation was completely tilted in favor of the Giant Bear Gang.

The final result, of course, was that the Giant Bear Gang won.

A great victory.

But Feng Yu's arrangement had serious mistakes, which could not be avoided.

For this reason, after all the gang members had successfully evacuated, Feng Yu took the initiative to make a self-criticism to Geng Xuan.

At this moment, when Geng Xuan asked about the casualties of this operation, Feng Yu's face changed, revealing a look of shame, and he whispered:

“In this operation, we suffered a total of 28 casualties.

Among them, there are 25 Xuanyou riders and three gang members participating in the ambush on the periphery."

Geng Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me more about it."

“Of the 25 riders injured or killed, 18 died on the spot.

Among them, one was one of the seventy-three riders led by Hong Quan.

Because of his poor horsemanship, he accidentally fell during the sprint and fell into the hands of several mercenaries, who killed him out of anger.

Another seventeen riders died, eight riders were seriously injured, and twenty-three Xuanyou horses died, all because of my blind division of troops.

The three gang members who died in the ambush mainly died because their cultivation was too low.

Almost all of them were taken away by people before they died.”

Having said that, Feng Yu fell silent.

Geng Xuan didn't urge him either.

After a while, Feng Yu spoke again:

“I just checked and among the seven seriously injured people, one is in a very dangerous condition and may not survive tonight.

Among the other six people, four of them could barely recover in two to three months at the shortest, or half a year at the longest, if they are carefully cared for.

Two others are disabled.

A man was sprayed with poisonous smoke before he died. Although he was wearing a mask and held his breath in time, he still accidentally blinded one eye.

The other had his left hand bones completely shattered by a heavy weapon through his armor.

Because the injury was so severe, amputation was performed to prevent the residual force from spreading."

“Also, Pang Wen also suffered some injuries.

You will not be able to fight anyone for half a month, and you will have to rest for a month before you can barely recover."

Geng Xuan listened carefully to Feng Yu's report.

He calculated silently in his mind that, in this night attack by the Giant Bear Gang, including Pang Wen, eight people were injured and twenty-one died.

This price cannot be said to be small, but compared with the results achieved, the loss can be said to be very small.

As for zero casualties, except Geng Xuan, no one else had even thought about it.

Strictly speaking, the number of injured people is more than what Feng Yu reported.

However, in this world, people are counted as “injured” only if they are missing limbs, or have obvious defects in other parts of the body, or have injuries that require a long period of recuperation to recover.

Some of them had dozens of cuts on their bodies from swords and knives, bleeding profusely, and some were even disfigured.

But as long as the patient is treated with medicine, he will be able to continue to be alive and well in three to five days, and it will not be considered an injury.

Even he himself would only regard it as a medal of his bravery and courage, and would never use the injury as an excuse.

At this moment, a ball of red mist flew towards Geng Xuan's eyebrows.

After it sank into his forehead, a piece of information appeared in Geng Xuan's mind.

[Capture the remaining energy, do you want to refine it? ]

Geng Xuan realized something, but after a moment of silence, he made a choice.

"Refining."

【18 points of good luck and 2 points of bad luck. 】

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion somewhere in the team that was returning towards Qingyuanji.

Soon, someone passed the news over.

The gang member who was seriously injured, according to Feng Yu, would hardly survive tonight.

Just now, he breathed his last.

In this operation, the number of Giant Bear Gang members who died increased from twenty-one to twenty-two.

Geng Xuan turned his head to look at Feng Yu who was standing beside him in silence and said:

“The seriously injured and disabled must be carefully cared for.

If we have the medicines we need in the public treasury, we can take them from there. If not, we can buy them from outside.

In addition, all the sacrificed gang members must be properly compensated.”

"Yes."

……

After joining up with the gang members who had evacuated earlier, organized by Luo Qing and others, riding on Yuanzhou's fine horses, the group headed straight for Qingyuanji.

When they were about to enter Qingyuan Collection, Feng Yu asked Geng Xuan:

"Boss, will Wu Yi and the others still move their camp to the front of Qingyuanji according to the original plan?"

Geng Xuan thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "If they dare to continue their actions tonight, I will have to look at them with new eyes."

Feng Yu nodded.

……

After returning from the night raid, more than 400 members of the Giant Bear Gang, exuding a bloody and murderous aura, marched into Qingyuanji in a mighty manner.

As soon as they entered, a group of more than 20 market guards jumped out from their hiding place.

He bowed respectfully to Geng Xuan.

The leader was named Zhu Jie, the leader of the Qingyuan Group's guards, Qi Mingcheng's confidant, and at the initial stage of marrow refining. He was first detained by Geng Xuan in Wanfufang for a period of time, and later followed him to Yueluyuan for a tour.

He is one of the few people in Qingyuan Group who knows Geng Xuan's methods best.

Geng Xuan asked, "Qi Mingcheng asked you to keep watch in person?"

Zhu Jie said: "Yes."

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu, Geng Xuan said: "It seems that there are many people with ulterior motives in Qingyuan Collection."

Zhu Jie did not reply, but bowed respectfully to Geng Xuan again.

Geng Xuan looked at Feng Yu beside him and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Feng, I have another task for you."

The armor plates creaked, and Feng Yu came in front of Geng Xuan. The bloodstains all over the armor had solidified, leaving only a strong smell of blood.

"Please give me your orders, Master!"

Geng Xuan said:
"Bring your people to invite all the practitioners in Qingyuanji to the large square in front of Qingyuan Pavilion. I will wait for you there... It's up to you to decide how many people to bring."

"Yes."

Feng Yu responded decisively, and then said:

"If we want to accomplish this in the shortest possible time, we need the cooperation of people from Qingyuanji."

Geng Xuan looked at Zhu Jie and said, "Then please bring your men to cooperate... Do you need to ask Qi Mingcheng for instructions first?"

Zhu Jie quickly shook his head and said, "No need."

Geng Xuan looked at him deeply and nodded, "Okay then, take the others with you... How long will it take?"

Zhu Jie thought for a moment and said, "If we want to complete this matter completely, it should take an hour."

Geng Xuan said: "I'll wait for you."

Feng Yu took the opportunity to ask, "Boss, what if someone insists on not obeying?"

"Then kill him." Geng Xuan said.

Hearing Geng Xuan say such casually, Zhu Jie, who had killed many people, couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Soon, Feng Yu selected the people and left quickly under the guidance of Zhu Jie.

This time, Feng Yu did not do it himself, but left the selection of people and the specific execution of the operation to Hong Quan.

He only brought a few hall masters who were in the early stage of marrow refining to follow him.

Hong Quan selected one hundred people according to his own preferences.

They are all Xuanyou riders.

They did not take off their blood-stained armor and walked away quickly with Hong Quan, Feng Yu and others. No one rode a Xuanyou horse.

After making all the arrangements, Geng Xuan led the remaining gang members and headed straight towards Qingyuan Pavilion.

Before they arrived, Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng led a group of people to greet them.

The two of them were still leading their people to greet Geng Xuan politely.

You're welcome.

When it comes, some people may still not care.

Even if one appears solemn and serious on the face, the emotions in one's heart will more or less be reflected in the changes in one's eyes.

After all, not everyone can be a good actor.

But when they saw the bloody smell emanating from the Giant Bear Gang members and the blood coagulated on their armor, everyone's attitude became truly respectful from the bottom of their hearts.

But when Geng Xuan told them about the arrangement for Feng Yu, Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng jumped up in shock.

Following behind them were a group of marrow refining masters, as well as a group of high-level people who, although they did not have the skills of marrow refining, were also the core members of Qingyuan Group.

Each of their faces looked like a dye shop, with the expressions changing so quickly and so frequently that it was hard to keep up.

Qi Mingcheng calmed himself down and asked, "Boss Su, I wonder what your intention is in making such an arrangement?"

Geng Xuan did not answer but asked:

"Master Qi, Wu Yi has recruited nearly a thousand practitioners from Anleji and Baiyuanji.

Although there are many people, the discipline is lax. Do you know how he dealt with it?"

Qi Mingcheng thought for a moment and said:

"From what I understand, apart from not allowing them to disband and go back, Wu Yi practically granted them every request.

Not to mention the delicious food and drinks, it is said that in order to meet the special needs of some people, Wu Yi is arranging his confidants to search for young and beautiful women in Anleji and Baiyuanji.

Although he no longer had any hope for Wu Yi's next move, Geng Xuan couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching wildly after hearing what Wu Yi was currently doing in Anleji and Baiyuanji.

After Qi Mingcheng finished speaking, he shook his head and said:

"You are out of date."

He didn't know whether Qi Mingcheng really didn't know or was pretending to be stupid, so he started to do some "popular science" with him.

"Just this evening, a 200-man Xuanyou cavalry entered Wu Yi's camp.

With the arrival of this reinforcement army, Wu Yi immediately rectified the poor discipline in the camp.

The method is very simple. Anyone who disobeys or dares to speak out against the will be killed in public.

If you kill enough of them, they will naturally behave themselves.

Even if they hated it so much, they had to put away their bad habits and obey orders honestly and in a proper manner. "

When saying the last part, Geng Xuan stared straight at Qi Mingcheng, leaving him no room to maneuver or dodge.

Under his gaze, Qi Mingcheng felt his scalp tingling and his heart was filled with fear.

He still had to bite the bullet and said in a trembling voice:
"Su... Gang leader, are you... going to imitate Wu Yi?"

Geng Xuan nodded and answered promptly and decisively.

"good."

Qi Mingcheng, whose heart was pounding and whose body was hot and cold, hadn't said anything yet when a kind-looking old man who looked much older than Qi Mingcheng suddenly spoke up:

"Boss Su, the situations on our two sides are fundamentally different. We can't generalize, right?"

Seeing that someone actually had the courage to come forward, Geng Xuan couldn't help but become more interested in this person. With a smile on his face, he asked:
"Oh, you said that the situations on our sides are completely different. How are they different?"

The old man bowed respectfully to Geng Xuan and then spoke:

"Boss Su, Wu Yi has taken drastic measures to discipline the practitioners in Anleji and Baiyuanji.

They were unruly and would laugh and bargain with their superiors' orders.

But this situation doesn't exist here.

You have not given us any direct orders, so you may not have a deep understanding of this.

But Master Fang and Master Qi often give us orders, and we all carry them out seriously without any compromise.

I haven't heard of anyone pretending to obey but actually disobeying.

So, how can our situation be the same as Wu Yi's?"

Geng Xuan didn't say anything and seemed to be in deep thought.

Seeing this, the old man quickly added:
“If you have any requests, just give us orders directly.

I believe that everyone will show the best attitude and do their best to implement it! "

As he spoke, he looked at the other people around him and said:

"Am I right?"

Some people nodded silently, their faces full of approval.

Some people murmured in agreement, saying "yes, yes" to express their attitude.

Under the gazes of many people, Geng Xuan finally spoke.

“You’ve given your reasons, and they sound good.

Then let me tell you my reasons.”

The old man suddenly felt something was wrong.

But at this time, apart from saying "please" with gritted teeth, does he have any other choice?

If he doesn't "please", will people stop saying it?

"From the first night I arrived, well, when everyone was still living in the campground, many people sneaked out of the camp at night to inform Wu Yi."

Hearing this, many people's expressions changed slightly.

"After returning to Qingyuanji, I took people to the other courtyard outside, but the situation was still not peaceful.

In Qingyuanji, not only were there people who insisted on informing Wu Yi of the situation every day, but there were also people who were reckless and arranged for people to follow me.

At first, I didn't care.

But these people are really taking advantage of the situation and are getting more and more unreasonable.

There were more and more people following him. Some of them even stopped avoiding people and didn't even bother to hide.

They are like a group of flies buzzing around you, which is very annoying. "

Having said this, Geng Xuan swept his eyes over everyone and said with a smile:
“Fortunately, it’s finally quiet now.

Just last night, I arranged for a major cleanup and caught all the stalkers in one fell swoop.

After interrogation, we found out that there was a mastermind behind these stalkers."

Geng Xuan looked at everyone as he spoke. He could clearly see that many of them had poor acting skills and their expressions had changed significantly.

Geng Xuan stared at the kind-looking old man in front of him, whose expression remained largely unchanged, and said with a smile, "Why don't you guess who these people are?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"I can't guess, but I know that when some people are in desperate situations, they will randomly bite and drag more people into the water to save themselves."

Geng Xuan stared at the old man for a while, then suddenly said:

“Why don’t you question the truth of what I said?

After all, whether I caught the stalker or not, and whether they really said anything, are all my one-sided statements. How could you believe them so easily?

Shouldn’t this be questioned?”

The old man was terrified when he heard this and said quickly:
"How could a person like you, Gang Leader Su, be willing to give up for such a small matter?

Even if I doubt myself, I would never doubt that what Boss Su said is not true!"

Geng Xuan heard this, laughed, and continued:
"Today, a group of reinforcements arrived from Wu Yi's place, and he wanted to move his camp overnight to the vicinity of Qingyuanji.

In his words, the purpose is to intimidate the fence-sitters in Qingyuanji and make us collapse without a fight.

In order to dispel his idea, I organized a night attack. Due to insufficient manpower, I transferred all the gang members in Qingyuanji away.

But my people haven't come out yet, and those who were rushing to inform Wu Yi have already started to move."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan gestured to Luo Qing beside him.

Luo Qing arranged for people to get on a carriage.

Soon, bodies were thrown out of the carriage one after another.

Among these human bodies, there were living people with their hands and feet tied and their mouths blocked, as well as dead people who had long since become cold and hard.

When the Giant Bear Gang recruited new members this time, it absorbed thirty-four gang members who were only at the Leather Refining Realm.

Because their strength is too low, they are not qualified to be Xuanyou riders.

Just arrange them to ambush on the periphery and kill any fish that have escaped the net. Their low strength will only hinder us and do more harm than good.

Therefore, these people were organized by Luo Qing and were specifically responsible for doing some odd jobs.

Geng Xuan saw that everyone's eyes were looking over there, so he said:

"These are the people who leaked the information, some of them are already dead.

However, most of them are still alive.

If you are interested, you can come and take a look.

I think you know better than me who they belong to.”

No one moved.

No one showed the slightest curiosity towards the dead and half-dead people.

Geng Xuan shook his head in disappointment, looked at the old man in front of him again, and asked, "Do you want to go and ask?"

The old man stood there blankly without answering.

Seeing his state, Geng Xuan felt that this old guy might not be interested in talking to him for the time being.

He turned to ask Qi Mingcheng next to him, "What's his name?"

"Su Mingxu." Qi Mingcheng said.

Upon hearing this, Geng Xuan joked, "Not only are they from my family, but they're also from the same generation as you. What a coincidence."

Qi Mingcheng didn't find this funny, he even felt a little puzzled, with an expression of "what are you talking about?"

Geng Xuan looked at Luo Qing standing beside him. Luo Qing had a small notebook in his hand without him noticing.

After searching for a while, he stared at one of the pages and said:

"Su Mingxu, the patriarch of the Qingyuanji Su family, has many businesses, but they mainly deal in jewelry.

Among them, silver and copper ornaments are the main ones.”

Geng Xuan was surprised and said, "I thought it would be at least gold or jade jewelry."

Luo Qing smiled and said:

"Boss, you're joking. Even if he has the intention, Qingyuanji can't support such a family with its size."

Having said this, he paused and said:
“Although there is no concrete evidence, from what I understand, all merchants dealing in silver and copper jewelry in the surrounding markets are more or less involved with Anleji.

Because Anleji would often sell the silver and copper jewelry that gamblers used to pay off their debts directly to these merchants.

Compared with the size of Anle Market, this amount is simply not something that can be consumed by merchants in one or two markets. A large quantity may even lead to a drop in prices.

Therefore, Anlehui will evenly distribute it to various surrounding markets."

Geng Xuan suddenly realized what role the Su family behind Su Mingxu played in this system.

At the same time, he also realized that Wu Yi's Wu family, and even the entire Anleji, did not exist in isolation, but were deeply embedded in the overall ecology of this area.

The interest network built with the Wu family as the core and Anleji as the base camp is not limited to Anleji, but is like the roots of a big tree, widely distributed and deeply rooted.

At this moment, Luo Qing said with a strange look on his face:
"However, none of the stalkers we caught last night, nor the people who left Qingyuanji tonight to tip off Wu Yi, are from the Su family."

Geng Xuan was also surprised and asked, "You mean, he wasn't involved in this? Then why did he jump out like that?"

Luo Qing guessed:
"Perhaps he arranged for someone to do this a few days ago? But we haven't caught any concrete evidence?"

The two of them started chatting without any hesitation in front of all the senior executives of Qingyuan Group.

At this time, Qi Mingcheng interrupted with a strange look on his face: "Perhaps, the Su family really did not interfere in this matter this time."

"Oh? Why?" Geng Xuan asked curiously.

Qi Mingcheng said, "Because in April of this year, the Su family and the Wu family had a disagreement, and since then, there has been no contact between the two sides."

"What's wrong?"

Anyway, Feng Yu’s mission has not been completed yet, and he has nothing to do now, so it’s good to listen to some gossip.

"The head of the Su family has a granddaughter who is very pretty, but she likes to play a little.

In April this year, at the instigation of two cousins from the same clan, she disguised herself as a man and sneaked to Anleji to play.

I don’t know what this girl is thinking. She is not satisfied after having fun in the gambling den, so she asks her two cousins to take her to a brothel to have a look, saying that she wants to broaden her horizons.

At that time, Wu Youren..."

Having said this, he paused, looked at Geng Xuan, and explained:

"This Wu Youren is Wu Youxin's elder brother and Wu Yi's legitimate son, but he is a dandy fool."

Qi Mingcheng was worried that Geng Xuan didn't know who Wu Youren was, so he made a special effort to explain.

Geng Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, go on."

This matter was actually related to Wu Youren, which made Geng Xuan even more curious.

“… Wu Youren also happened to be in that building at the time, and for some unknown reason, the two sides got into an argument.

Finally, Wu Youren discovered that the girl Su was a pretty girl, and he had evil thoughts and dragged the girl Su into a room.

Her two cousins were beaten half to death and thrown out.

Three days later, Su Mingxu personally led people to Anleji to look for her, but the girl Su was already dead and had been put in a coffin. It was said that she had accidentally fallen from the upstairs and died.

At that time, Wu Yi forced Wu Youren's head down and apologized to Su Mingxu and Su Yatou who was lying in the coffin in public.

It is said that Wu Yi also promised Su Mingxu privately that he would give more of the gold, silver and copper jewelry in his hands to the Su family in the future.

However, Su Mingxu ignored Wu Yi's goodwill. He even threw away the coffin that the Wu family had prepared for Su Yatou and carried her back personally.

As far as I know, after this incident, the Su and Wu families' already limited cooperation has been completely severed."

After hearing the gossip from Qi Mingcheng, Geng Xuan no longer felt like enjoying the gossip.

The experience of Su Mingxu's granddaughter is certainly touching, but what makes Geng Xuan even more curious is the old man in front of him named Su Mingxu.

The story told by Qi Mingcheng almost completely overturned his previous impression of Su Mingxu.

The Su family is also a well-known force in Qingyuanji.

However, the Su family, which did not even have a powerful marrow refining expert, was nothing compared to the Wu family, which was at its peak at the time.

Su Mingxu could actually go to that extent for a granddaughter.

I have to say that in today's world, this is already considered a very bold and courageous behavior.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he risked having his entire family killed.

Looking at it from another angle, isn't this a replica of what the old guy is doing now?
Could it be that doing this kind of thing is addictive? !
Geng Xuan looked at Su Mingxu and asked directly:

"Old guy, what on earth do you think?"

Perhaps he already knew that he would not have a good ending. When Qi Mingcheng publicized his family's scandal - he thought it was a scandal - in public, Su Mingxu's face was already gloomy as if water seemed to drip out of it.

However, due to the reputation Qi Mingcheng had accumulated in Qingyuan, he did not interrupt.

After hearing Geng Xuan's question, he mustered up the courage to speak loudly:
"I know you just want an excuse to kill someone. If that's the case, why bother pretending to be so?"

As he spoke, he stiffened his neck, looking like a stubborn man who said, "Kill me if you want to. I'm not a hero if I beg for mercy."

"Looking for an excuse to kill someone? Is that how you see me?"

Geng Xuan was stunned and thought, does everyone know my real purpose now?
Su Mingxu, who had previously been extremely timid in front of Geng Xuan, now simply sneered and said:
"What do you mean by tipping off and stalking? You sound so nice, but aren't you just trying to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and turn Qingyuanji into your territory?

Now that you've taken action against Qingyuanji, are you going to take action against Santongji right away?"

Geng Xuan stared at Su Mingxu and nodded, "Not bad."

He has always been very particular about fairness. If he takes action on Qingyuan Collection, he naturally cannot leave out Santong Collection.

Otherwise, it would not only be unfair to the deceased in Qingyuanji, but also to the living in Santongji.

Su Mingxu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, sneered, and said:

"Brutal and bloodthirsty, killing people at the drop of a hat, 'Su Ruiliang', you're not even as good as the Wu family of Anleji!

Although they do evil, they at least know that they are doing evil things, but they still pretend to be evil to cover themselves up.

But you are too lazy to even pretend!
Just wait, you will be able to temporarily control Qingyuan Collection and Santong Collection.

If you act like this, you will definitely be punished soon!"

At this moment, Su Mingxu, who had let go of all his concerns, had completely let out his emotions and cursed thoroughly.

Qi Mingcheng, who was standing next to him, had already changed his expression.

He was about to cover his mouth immediately to stop him from spewing more nonsense, but Geng Xuan stopped him with a look.

Behind Geng Xuan, the members of the Giant Bear Gang stared at Su Mingxu with murderous eyes.

There was no doubt that as long as Geng Xuan gave a signal, they would immediately take action and chop this confused old guy into meat paste.

Even though some people thought Su Mingxu was right, they secretly resented Su Mingxu for publicly exposing the tacit understanding that no one dared to reveal.

Isn't this forcing this "murderous devil" in front of you to go on a killing spree?!
A few days ago, they knew nothing about "Su Ruiliang".

But now, they all knew very well how brutal this "evil creature" in human skin that was wreaking havoc around Chiwu Mountain and Yueluyuan was.

If the person who originally tipped off Wu Yi was someone who was seeking personal gain, then he might be a fence-sitter.

But after learning about the true nature of "Su Ruiliang", some people still continue to do so. The biggest motivation driving them is no longer to sit on the fence and make profits for themselves.

But I sincerely don’t want “Su Ruiliang” to win!

Compared to other people present, Geng Xuan, who was in front of Su Mingxu, had the calmest mentality.

Finally, seeing Su Mingxu kept silent, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Su Mingxu snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and didn't even look at him again.

Geng Xuan said to Luo Qing who was standing beside him, "Tie up this old man and seal his mouth."

Although, he did not feel any discomfort about Su Mingxu's curse, nor did he think it would bring any negative impact to himself.

But we are about to get down to business, and if there is an old man who doesn't know how to live or die and keeps chattering beside us, that would be a bit inappropriate.

As soon as he gave the order, two gang members holding iron chains stepped out of the crowd and came to Luo Qing.

The look he gave Su Mingxu was sinister and full of murderous intent.

It felt like they were going to execute Su Mingxu on the spot the next moment.

Geng Xuan saw this and quickly warned:

"Be careful, this old man is quite interesting, don't accidentally disable him."

Upon hearing this, the two gang members' expressions froze.

Su Mingxu, who had his eyes closed as if waiting to die, suddenly had his eyelids twitching.

He probably thought that this "Su Ruiliang" would not kill him all at once, but would torture him in various ways.

However, he did not open his eyes or say another word.

He let Luo Qing tie his hands and feet with ropes and force a large piece of cloth into his mouth.

After that, Geng Xuan, Qi Mingcheng, Fang Jintang, the Qingyuan Group executives behind them, and some of the Santong Group executives had nothing more to say.

With various emotions in mind, everyone waited silently outside Qingyuan Pavilion late at night.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the night was still dark.

The roads leading to Qingyuanji gradually became lively and even noisy from being quiet.

During this period, occasionally a mist of red air flew in from afar and penetrated into the center of Geng Xuan's eyebrows.

When the first group of people entered the square under the "escort" of a group of city guards and a group of Xuanyou cavalry, the people behind Qi Mingcheng and Fang Jintang once again caused a small commotion.

However, this movement was quickly suppressed by themselves.

After that, people began to gather at the square from several surrounding roads.

When Feng Yu "escorted" the last batch of practitioners into the venue, less than two hours had passed since Geng Xuan and others returned to Qingyuanji.

After completing the task, Feng Yu came to Geng Xuan and reported:
"Boss, all the practitioners in Qingyuanji are here."

Geng Xuan looked at the huge crowd in the square and asked, "How many people are there in total?"

Feng Yu said: "Nearly two thousand people."

Geng Xuan was surprised and asked, "So many?"

Feng Yu pointed at a large group of them and said:

“They are all Master Fang and Master Qi, who were recruited from various forces in Santong and Qingyuan. There are more than 800 people in total.

There are many people in the Bone Refining and Blood Refining realms, but there are even more people who only cultivate at the Skin Refining and Flesh Refining levels.”

Then he pointed to another group and said:
“These are the ones who were not drafted, nearly a thousand people.

Except for a small number of people with higher cultivation, they were forced to stay by various families for various reasons.

The vast majority of them have very low cultivation levels, and many are only proficient in skin refining."

The first group of people Feng Yu pointed to were basically adult men, and the difference between them and the other group could be seen from their aura.

The second group of people Feng Yu pointed out had a much more complex composition.

There are really old, weak, women and children everywhere.

The number of adult men is, on the contrary, very small.

These people gather in groups of three or four, with families as small units and familiar communities as large units.

He didn't dare to communicate. His eyes were full of confusion and fear when he looked at Geng Xuan, Feng Yu and others, as well as the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry next to him.

It's no wonder that this is the case. They were awakened in the middle of the night. Feng Yu led the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, broke into their home, and brought them here by force with an unquestionable attitude.

Many people looked at the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry that surrounded the square, and even wondered with fear whether these horrible monsters would immediately start to slaughter them mercilessly in the next moment.

Geng Xuan didn't say much, but called Dahuang and Baxiao to his side through the connection.

To Feng Yu:

"They will now circle among the crowd. Arrange people to follow them and make sure they don't get harmed.

Also, bring out anyone they think is abnormal."

Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then... I will make some arrangements."

Geng Xuan nodded.

Feng Yu quickly arranged for people to disperse those areas where people were too densely gathered.

After they had done all this, Dahuang and Baxiao immediately ran out excitedly.

However, the main people who did this were Ah San, Ah Si and Ah Wu, because they had been guarding near Qingyuanji in the past few days and clearly memorized the smell of all the people who reported to Wu Yi's camp.

However, Dahuang and the other kids did not provide cover for them completely.

There were several stalkers who did not show up on the day Geng Xuan ordered them to close in and clear out the stalkers.

These also require Dahuang to bring Ada and A'er to identify them.

Similarly, there were people who were arranged by Wu Yi to enter Qingyuanji and have never left since then.

Huang Er, A Liu and A Qi can also provide some indirect help on how to identify these people.

Big dogs were running quickly among the crowd, and sometimes, they would suddenly stop beside someone while running.

The nostrils flare rapidly.

At this time, people arranged by Feng Yu would take him out of the crowd.

More often than not, they just pass through the gaps in the crowd without stopping.

Some of those who were brought out began to tremble in fear when the dogs stood in front of them, while others kept claiming that they were innocent when they were carried out.

However, this scene made most people in the scene feel relieved.

Because they know that they have nothing to do with what is happening right in front of them.

And these murderous guys in front of him didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved.
