Start with a red name

Xue Zhiheng had already stood up and looked at the visitor with a serious expression.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice: "Who are you, sir?"

Geng Xuan looked at Xue Zhiheng and said with a smile, "Captain Xue, don't you know me?"

As he spoke, he had already walked out of the shadows, and his facial features suddenly rippled gently like flowing water.

When he stabilized again, he had turned back into "Su Ruiliang".

Xue Zhiheng, who had been staring at him, suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you the leader of the Giant Bear Gang, Su?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said:

"We've never met before, but Captain Xue recognized me at a glance. It seems like Captain Xue really cares about me."

Xue Zhiheng's eyes were always on Geng Xuan, but his frown relaxed a little. He took a few steps forward, smiled with some difficulty, and said:

“I received an invitation from Gang Leader Su through the Xu family, and I also arranged for Deputy Head Han and his junior sister to go to Qingyuanji.

I didn't expect that Master Su has already arrived in Yuanjing, but I wonder if Master Su has seen them?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Captain Xue is very thoughtful. I have met Senior Brother Han and Senior Sister Xu."

Hearing this, the smile on Xue Zhiheng's face became more natural.

Apart from anything else, the words "senior brother and sister" proved that his arrangement for Han Jian and Xu Jiao was correct.

Xue Zhiheng quickly asked again:
"Then I wonder why Gang Leader Su is visiting at this moment?"

“Tonight, I plan to launch a surprise attack on the Acropolis of the Souci Palace.

We're a bit short on manpower, and I'm unfamiliar with Yuanjing. I thought of Captain Xue, so I came over to check on him..."

Geng Xuan had just finished the first sentence when everyone in the room was shocked and looked at him as if he were a madman or a monster.

When he said the second sentence, wanting to "borrow" some manpower from the Blood Fang Group, Xue Zhiheng had not yet responded, and another person in the room suddenly made a gesture and opened his mouth to shout loudly.

He was fast, but Geng Xuan's reaction was even faster.

Before he even opened his mouth, just when he was thinking about opening his mouth and shouting, Geng Xuan had already taken action and pointed a finger at him.

In the eyes of outsiders, his seemingly casual finger did not show any power, and no energy flow could be felt.

But the person who was about to speak out truly experienced the unrivaled power contained therein.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and scream, a seemingly slight but irresistible force "pierced" his chest.

He stored the energy in his chest, wanting to forcibly disperse it by shouting loudly.

The force spread, reaching his neck, throat, and limbs, making his body instantly "uncontrollable" and no longer under his control.

Apart from the intense fear in his eyes, he was unable to make any unnecessary movements.

With one finger, Geng Xuan stopped the person who wanted to disrupt this "harmonious" conversation. He looked at Xue Zhiheng, whose facial expression had become stiff again, and said:

"Captain Xue, I want to have a peaceful conversation with you, and I hope you can give me such an opportunity.

...If someone loses control of his emotions and suddenly starts yelling, alerting the other members of the Blood Fang Group.

It even revealed my whereabouts, alerting Wuyou Palace in advance..."

Having said that, Geng Xuan looked at Xue Zhiheng and said seriously:
“The consequences will definitely be unpleasant for both me and your Blood Fang Group.

I believe that with Captain Xue's ability, he should be able to fully understand this!"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

At first glance, this seems like a threat.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is the fact.

He took a deep breath, looked at the other nine Blood Fang Group leaders in the room, and reminded them in a deep voice:

"Everyone, be careful when speaking. Don't be too loud. Don't let the other brothers notice anything unusual here."

All the high-ranking members of the Blood Fang Group lowered their brows and looked down.

Some people have violent and upright temperaments, and one can even see expressions of shame, anger and humiliation on their faces.

But under Xue Zhiheng's gaze, no one said anything in reply.

Xue Zhiheng looked at Geng Xuan again. He thought that after this reminder, the matter was over.

But Geng Xuan's gaze was still on the person who wanted to shout loudly but was "silenced" in time.

Whether it is the "emotional color changes" observed through the "physiognomy technique" of the perfect state, or the frequency changes of the "ripples" emanating from this person, compared with the other people, this person is richer and the differences are more obvious.

If he were alone, Geng Xuan could only conclude that his emotions were changing too much and his psychological activities were too intense.

As for how rich and intense it was, he couldn't see it clearly.

But when there are other people for comparison, those individuals with huge "differences" will be immediately exposed.

Previously, he used this method to identify the "disloyal people" under Tang Caizhu.

Now, he used the same method to identify the person in front of him.

Geng Xuan reminded Xue Zhiheng:
"Captain Xue, before we have a formal conversation, I think you'd better take some time to find out what this person is like."

Xue Zhiheng was stunned at first, and then, as if he remembered something, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

After a pause, Xue Zhiheng walked up to the man in front of his horrified gaze, leaned over and looked him straight in the eyes, and asked softly:

"Is there something between you and Wuyou Palace that I don't know about?"

The man grinned and said with a sad face:

"Captain, our Blood Fang Group has always had a lot of contact with the Worry-Free Palace, and many of us have seemingly good personal relationships with some people in the Worry-Free Palace.

With more contact, there will always be some random things that happen. You can't possibly know everything... If you say that, how can I answer?!"

Xue Zhiheng shook his head, staring intently at the man's eyes that he subconsciously wanted to avoid, and said:

"Don't try to fool me. You know what I'm asking, so don't say such nonsense.

...Two days ago, I arranged for Han Jian and Xu Jiao to go to Qingyuanji. Not long after they left, you left for a while on the pretext of something, and returned to the base about two hours later.

Now tell me, where did you go?"

The man's pupils shrank uncontrollably and he opened his mouth to say something, but Xue Zhiheng suddenly took two steps back.

But just now, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, as if a force that could easily take his life was passing by him.

Xue Zhiheng instinctively took a step back, away from the threat.

Then, he saw that the deputy leader of the Blood Fang Group, who was being interrogated by him, suddenly and silently had a deep hole in the center of his forehead.

Those eyes that were open and once filled with all kinds of emotions were now dead silent.

Xue Zhiheng turned his head suddenly and looked at "Su Ruiliang" who was standing a few steps away from him.

At this moment, Geng Xuan had already withdrawn his index finger, which he had casually raised, and said to Xue Zhiheng:

"Captain Xue, we are in a hurry now.

Since it has been confirmed that this person is indeed problematic and he just deliberately wanted to spread the news of my appearance here, there is no need for us to waste any time on him.

dont you agree? "

Xue Zhiheng bit his cheek hard, but still nodded and said, "Boss Su...you're right!"

Geng Xuan's eyes swept over the other eight people, and pointed at one of them again, saying:
"Captain Xue, you also need to take a closer look at his situation."

When this person saw his name being called, his face immediately changed and he wanted to shout, but he held it back and looked at Xue Zhiheng with an innocent and pleading look.

Xue Zhiheng's gaze lingered on this person for a moment, then he looked at Geng Xuan, and finally revealed a look of obvious dissatisfaction on his face, and said:

"Boss Su, aren't you being too aggressive?
A deputy group leader died in your hands. Isn’t that enough for you to establish your authority?
Are you really here to discuss cooperation?"

Looking at Xue Zhiheng's out-of-control emotions, Geng Xuan remained calm and said calmly:
"Captain Xue, this person's situation may be different from the one just mentioned. He is not a secret agent planted by Wuyou Palace.

But what is certain is that he and you are not on the same page.

I'm very sure that no matter what the outcome of our discussion is, once we leave this room, he will immediately leak the news."

Xue Zhiheng's expression changed when he heard this, but he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Could it be that Gang Leader Su can really see through people's hearts?"

Geng Xuan looked at him with a strange expression, as if smiling but not laughing.

Until Xue Zhiheng clearly felt uncomfortable, he whispered:
"Captain Xue, there's no need to act like this. I know you're actually very stable right now.

You're nominally protecting him and taking this opportunity to vent your frustrations on me, but in reality, you're using this opportunity to test my limits...

Tell me, am I right?"

"..."Looking at the pair of smiling eyes of "Su Ruiliang", Xue Zhiheng felt a chill in his heart.

Under these eyes that seemed to be able to see through him at a glance, he felt that all the thoughts in his mind were exposed to the sunlight, with nothing to hide.

In the end, Xue Zhiheng, unable to bear it any longer, took the initiative to avoid the sight of "Su Ruiliang" and looked at the Blood Fang team leader who was pointed out by him, a cultivator who had broken through to the late stage of marrow refining.

Under his gaze, the man stammered and said in an almost pleading tone:
"Captain, I... am wronged!"

Xue Zhiheng stared at him and said softly:
"What's the point of fooling me at this point? Can you fool 'Su Ruiliang'?

You've seen it too, he really has the ability to see through people's hearts. He's seen everything in your heart... Is it meaningful for you to cry out for injustice now?"

"me……"

Hesitation, entanglement, struggle... In a very short period of time, the expression on this person's face changed and intertwined.

Finally, this person's face showed a calmness after completely letting go, and said:
"Captain, I only ask one thing of you. Please don't embarrass my wife and children. They know nothing..."

Based on their understanding of each other over the years, Xue Zhiheng anticipated something the moment he spoke frankly.

At this moment, he was so close that he could clearly feel that a tremendous force was gathering in this person's heart.

If nothing is done to stop him, the subordinate's heart and even his entire internal organs will explode into pieces in the next moment.

Xue Zhiheng watched this scene with mixed emotions, but did not stop it.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly focused.

Suddenly, a deep hole appeared silently in the center of the subordinate's eyebrows.

At the same time, the tremendous force that was gathered around its heart and was about to explode suddenly condensed, and then dispersed into nothingness without exploding at all.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Geng Xuan, and watched him slowly retract his fingers. Xue Zhiheng gritted his teeth.

This time, he was really a little angry!

……

Geng Xuan withdrew his finger and swept his eyes over the seven people.

His eyes were clear and calm.

But the seven people whose eyes he swept across felt a chill in their hearts and their hair stand on end.

Fortunately, what made them feel relieved was that this time, "Su Ruiliang" did not point his finger at anyone again.

Not only did the other seven people feel fortunate, even Xue Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even dare to think about how he would handle everything that was happening before his eyes if "Su Ruiliang" continued to use his vicious "eyes" to pick out one "dissident" after another from the few senior executives. Angry?

But Su Ruiliang's actions actually helped him, digging out the hidden "poisons" and increasing his control over the Blood Fang Group.

Thanks?
In just a short moment, all this was done to him in a way that was almost raped. He really couldn't feel such emotions.

Taking the opportunity to collect two "rich" "good fortune fruits", Geng Xuan said to Xue Zhiheng who looked tangled:

"Okay, let's continue with the topic we were discussing."

Geng Xuan saw Xue Zhiheng's gaze lingering on the two dead men, and he was in a low mood, so he comforted him:

"Captain Xue, don't overthink it. Yuanjing is just a big melting pot.

As long as you are in such an environment, it is impossible to stay unaffected.

Over time, it is inevitable that you will be part of me and I will be part of you."

This was not just a polite remark from Geng Xuan, but the true feeling that formed in Geng Xuan's heart in just a few hours.

Xue Zhiheng looked up at Geng Xuan and said dejectedly:

"Boss Su, you really think too highly of me. Even if I agree to help you and sacrifice my entire Blood Fang Group, it won't help at all."

“Not to mention those who are even stronger, with the foundation of Wuyou Palace, it is impossible that there are none!
Take the peak of marrow refining for example. Even if you have killed five of them, Wuyou Palace still can’t count them with two hands.

And in my Blood Fang Group, I was the only one who barely reached this height.

In the late stage of marrow refining and the middle stage of marrow refining, there are hundreds of people in Wuyou Palace.

And us?

It couldn't be compared with Wuyou Palace in the first place, and now you've killed two of them.

"Even if I put all my blood fangs on him, it wouldn't be enough to crush him with just one finger!"

Geng Xuan listened with a smile, and after Xue Zhiheng finished speaking, he smiled and said:

"Captain Xue, you're worrying too much. I'm looking for you to help me, not to be cannon fodder... So, let me introduce you to someone else."

Xue Zhiheng felt something and looked up at Geng Xuan.

Then he followed Geng Xuan's gaze towards the shadow that had just appeared, only to see that the wall behind the shadow had silently collapsed and formed a gap at some point.

A strong and sturdy figure strode out, walked out of the shadows, and forcefully broke into Xue Zhiheng's sight.

"Sigh~~"

When the members of the Blood Fang Group in the room saw Tang Caizhu's appearance clearly, they all subconsciously gasped.

At this moment, Tang Caizhu appeared in their sight. She was not disguised as a man, but revealed her female characteristics without any concealment.

It is no wonder that everyone from Xue Zhiheng to other senior members of the Blood Fang Group gasped in shock.

When they first see such a "strange woman", all men who are used to the impression of women being "delicate" will feel an instinctive discomfort in their hearts.

Tang Caizhu ignored the gazes of these people and walked straight to Geng Xuan's side and stood still, with her hands hanging naturally and clasped in front of her, like a female door god of an iron tower.

Geng Xuan said to Xue Zhiheng, who was shocked by the "visual spectacle":

"Since Captain Xue knows me, you must have heard some of the rumors about me."

Xue Zhiheng's expression changed, he looked at Tang Caizhu and said hesitantly:

"Could it be that what Gang Leader Su said... is related to the inheritance you've learned?"

Geng Xuan nodded and pointed out directly:

"It's okay to tell Captain Xue that what I'm practicing is derived from the 'Meng Lao Zu Heritage' of the Red Heart Gang... This is also the inheritor of Meng Lao Zu, Senior Sister Tang Caizhu."

Xue Zhiheng widened his eyes slightly.

He first looked at Geng Xuan, and then at Tang Caizhu. His thoughts went back and forth between the two of them, and naturally some thoughts that he had never thought of before arose in his mind.

The next moment, Geng Xuan's words directly confirmed his speculation.

“Captain Xue doesn’t need to worry about the tough guys who are at the peak of marrow refining or even above the peak.

Those will be handled by me, my senior sister, and other disciples.

...Our only shortcoming is the lack of manpower, and the Wuyou Palace fortress is too large, with too many middle and low-level practitioners.

I came here in person because I wanted the Blood Fang Group to fill this vacancy.

I think, at this level, the Blood Fang Group shouldn't be afraid of the Worry-Free Palace, right?"

Xue Zhiheng's heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably.

He was moved.

The appearance of Tang Caizhu seemed to be just one more person.

But what Xue Zhiheng was thinking of was the entire group of "the remnants of the Red Heart Gang".

So far, everyone has been saying that "Su Ruiliang" is Meng Tiexin's successor.

But only "Su Ruiliang" is the successor of Meng Tiexin.

The other members of the Giant Bear Gang were all miscellaneous soldiers who were forcibly abducted onto the pirate ship by "Su Ruiliang" in various ways.

But now, Tang Caizhu appeared in front of him.

Although there was no fight.

But Xue Zhiheng could clearly feel that this "Senior Sister Tang" was not just pretending.

At least, he, the leader of the Blood Fang, is no match for her.

The appearance of Tang Caizhu shows that the remnants of the "Red Heart Gang" are not just "Su Ruiliang" alone, but a group of people.

Moreover, these people are all very strong, and their biggest shortcoming is that there are not enough people.

There is no more enduring driving force in this world than hatred.

With these mortal enemies watching Wuyou Palace from the shadows, they decided to take action at this moment...

Xue Zhiheng, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a golden opportunity for a rising star like him!
The risks still exist.

but--

“It’s worth a try!”

Xue Zhiheng, who made this judgment, suddenly had an idea in his mind. He looked up and saw the clear eyes of "Su Ruiliang", which seemed to reflect his inner thoughts clearly.

Xue Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that there was a monster with a pair of "wise eyes" in the house.

"It seems that Captain Xue has already made up his mind." Geng Xuan said softly with a smile.

Xue Zhiheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Boss Su, you...you are too shameless!

When I talk to you about things in the future, I won’t even give you a chance to meet me.

Otherwise, you'll see through everything you do, and how will you let others play with you?!"

Geng Xuan smiled, did not respond, and continued with the original topic.

"Since Captain Xue has made his decision, there's no time to lose. Go and call in those deputy captains who possess the power of marrow refining."

There were several high-ranking members of the Blood Fang Group in the room, except Xue Zhiheng who was at the peak of marrow refining.

The three deputy team leaders were all senior masters in the late stage of marrow refining. One of them was killed by Geng Xuan, leaving two.

There were six Blood Fang captains, three of them had just entered the late stage of Marrow Refining, three were senior in the middle stage of Marrow Refining, and the second one killed by Geng Xuan was a Blood Fang captain who had just entered the late stage of Marrow Refining.

In addition to these people, the Blood Fang Group also has eighteen deputy captains who are in the middle and early stages of marrow refining.

——The 600-man Blood Fang Corps is divided into teams of 100 people, with each team having one captain and three deputy captains.

Xue Zhiheng was stunned when he heard Geng Xuan's words and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Geng Xuan did not answer, his eyes swept over the two corpses in the room.

Seeing this, Xue Zhiheng's heart, which had relaxed a little, suddenly tightened again.

"Captain Xue, why don't you guess, among the eighteen vice-captains under your command, how many of them have ulterior motives?"

"...I won't guess!" Xue Zhiheng gritted his teeth.

Then he turned around and told the people in the room, "Deal with these two."

Having said that, he turned and walked out.

The other seven people in the room also took action immediately.

Move the bodies of the two companions to a dark corner and hide them.

Not long after, with the faint sound of footsteps, a series of figures quickly entered the conference room.

one two three four……

When Xue Zhiheng was the last one to enter and close the door.

Including Geng Xuan and Tang Caizhu, there were twenty-eight people gathered in the conference room.

If the two bodies in the dark are counted, the number will increase by two more.

There is not much to say about the next process.

The eighteen people who had just entered the meeting room experienced a mental journey from confusion, shock, to fear towards the two unexpected strangers, Geng Xuan and Tang Caizhu.

Thanks to Geng Xuan's ability to identify people, three of the eighteen new entrants were eventually exposed for their own reasons.

Geng Xuan "kindly" did not let Xue Zhiheng do it again, but let Tang Caizhu do it. There was no torture. She just put her hand on the other person's shoulder. Soon, the other person looked miserable as if he could not bear the torture, and trembled as he confessed their respective "stories".

Then, he died cleanly at the hands of Tang Caizhu.

After completing the "purification" of the Blood Fang Group's top leaders, everyone did not stay in the meeting room with five more corpses, but walked out of the hall.

On the parade ground not far from the hall, six hundred Blood Fang warriors were lined up in neat rows and assembled together.

This was the order Xue Zhiheng gave when he went out and called the eighteen deputy captains into the house. They had been waiting for a long time.

After Geng Xuan completed the "purification" of the Blood Fang Group's top leaders, the next thing he had to do was naturally to "help" Xue Zhiheng carefully screen the six hundred Blood Fang warriors.

By the way, harvest a batch of "good luck fruits".

Just as Geng Xuan walked out of the conference room and headed towards the platform where the parade grounds were assembled.

Suddenly he was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at the night sky in the southwest.

A ball of red mist passed through the void, rushed straight towards him, and quickly sank into the "flint bead" between his eyebrows.

But the red color in front of his eyes not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

The number is increasing.

One group, two groups, three groups...

The red mist was like a school of fish swimming through the dark night, rushing towards him one after another. (End of this chapter)
