Evil of all ages

Chapter 36 White Lotus Sect

Instead of returning to the Fierce Tiger Gang, Huang Taichu went to find Chief Meng Fangtang, since he lived near Meng Fangtang's residence.

Upon entering Meng Fangtang's residence, Huang Taichu seemed to have discovered something. He smirked, realizing that even asking anyone for money could lead to trouble.

At this moment, Meng Fangtang was enjoying himself to the fullest, surrounded by a feast of meat and wine, and revelry.

Suddenly, as he was enjoying the moment with his eyes half-closed, he noticed an extra person in the room, and his expression immediately turned dangerous.

He waved for all the dancers to leave, then stood up and looked Huang Taichu up and down.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

When Meng Fangtang saw Huang Taichu standing there calmly, he assumed that the other party was sent by some force and kept guessing about the other party's identity.

I only asked this question because I couldn't be sure of the other person's identity.

"I originally came here to ask for some money, but I accidentally discovered that your mansion is home to quite a few assassins, including several guards at the Acquired level."

“You yourself are a late-stage acquired martial artist. Tell me, how come all the straight-legged warriors are so powerful these days?”

Huang Taichu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Meng Fangtang's face darkened completely.

"If you're not a lackey of the imperial court, then which faction do you belong to?"

If it were someone from the imperial court, upon discovering the situation inside the mansion, they wouldn't appear before him in a grand manner, but would instead secretly leave and lead a large number of soldiers to surround his mansion.

However, even if the other party was not from the imperial court, he knew the situation here and could not easily let them leave.

"You ask me which faction I belong to? Let me think. I'm a prison guard in the imperial jail, on government pay, so I'm barely considered to be on the side of the imperial court."

Huang Taichu replied, adopting a thoughtful posture.

"Kill him for me!"

Meng Fangtang was furious.

He felt that the other party was playing him, and for a moment he didn't care about the other party's power or status. Knowing the situation here, he knew that he had to die.

When he gave the order, a group of assassins rushed out from the shadows.

"You...you're all insane! I want you to kill him!"

Meng Fangtang's tone was disordered. These were his trained assassins who only listened to him. Who would have thought that all of his assassins would attack him alone?

What's going on? How could a suicide squad member betray him?

"Yan Song, Ning Guang, why did you betray me?"

Not only did his assassins collectively betray him, but even his personal guards Yan Song and Ning Guang were attacking him, which he found unacceptable.

"Master Xiang... it's not us, our bodies won't obey us."

Yan Song and Ning Guangman's expressions were filled with panic and fear.

"It's...it's you!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Fangtang suddenly turned to look at Huang Taichu. He knew that this intruder was behind all of this, but how did he manage to do it?

Huang Taichu did not reply. Instead, he went to the place where Meng Fangtang had been enjoying himself and sat down, drinking fine wine and eating grapes, feeling quite at ease.

Meng Fangtang was stronger than the others, but his mind had been shaken, and the fearless assassins kept pouring out.

He was eventually captured by his own men.

They were then taken to Huang Taichu and forced to kneel on the ground.

"You...how did you do that?"

Besides fear, Meng Fangtang's eyes were also full of confusion, wondering how Huang Taichu controlled all his subordinates.

"Now you have two choices: either die here, or you become my servant."

Huang Taichu offered his choice.

"I choose the second one."

Meng Fangtang hesitated for a moment, then ultimately chose to live a life of ignominy.

The moment he made his choice, the assassins who had been controlling him released him.

"If you're not afraid that I'm not being sincere, then you're not afraid that I'll suddenly attack you."

Meng Fangtang was surprised and suspicious. They had just let him go. Weren't they afraid that he was just talking and that he would attack him at such close range?

"I'm quite scared, why don't you give it a try?"

Huang Taichu spat out the grape skins and said.

Meng Fangtang wouldn't dare to try; he wasn't a fool.

"Your true identity?"

Huang Taichu asked.

"One of the twenty leaders of the White Lotus Sect."

Meng Fangtang replied.

White Lotus Sect!
Huang Taichu paused his grape-eating motion when he heard about the White Lotus Sect.

"Besides you, are there any other members of the White Lotus Sect in the capital?"

Huang Taichu asked. "Yes, but they are all single-line contacts. I don't know how many people the White Lotus Sect has in the capital, or how many strongholds they have."

"All we know is that we will follow the elder's orders in all our actions in the capital."

"I don't know which elder it is because he hasn't shown his face."

Meng Fangtang replied.

Tell me about the White Lotus Sect.

Upon hearing this, Meng Fangtang didn't hold back and told him everything he knew.

After listening, Huang Taichu gained a general understanding of the White Lotus Sect.

There are currently three voices within the White Lotus Sect.

One of them is Wei Qianlan, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.

One is the faction of the Grand Elder

One of them is Young Master Wei, Wei Nanzhou.

Wei Qianlan and Wei Nanzhou both possess blood from the previous dynasty's royal family, making them the only two to do so.

Apart from the two of them, no other royal descendants from the previous dynasty have survived.

Comparatively speaking, Wei Qianlan's bloodline is purer than Wei Nanzhou's, because Wei Qianlan is a descendant of the emperor of a fallen kingdom, while Wei Nanzhou is a descendant of a prince.

The White Lotus Sect has a supreme master, one of whom is publicly known, but whether there is a second or third one in secret, Meng Fangtang said he didn't know.

For the White Lotus Sect to mobilize a Grandmaster-level expert, all three internal voices must reach a consensus in order to persuade such an expert to participate.

"Have your people bring all your savings here."

Huang Taichu released his control over the several assassins.

When Meng Fangtang saw that several assassins could suddenly obey his commands, he was horrified by Huang Taichu's methods.

However, he still sent several bodyguards to move out all his gold and silver treasures.

Seeing the waist-high pile of gold and silver treasures in front of him, Huang Taichu didn't stand on ceremony and used his invisible spatial ring to take away 70% of it.

Seeing that most of his gold and silver treasures had vanished into thin air, Meng Fangtang blinked and looked at Huang Taichu.

He suspected he had encountered a deity.

"If you see any high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect, let me know."

Huang Taichu got up to leave.

How should we notify them?

Meng Fangtang asked curiously.

If your heart calls out to you three times that you want to find me, I will contact you.

Huang Taichu said casually.

"what?"

Meng Fangtang was dumbfounded. What kind of contact information was this?

Despite not understanding it, he still tried it on the spot, almost as if possessed.

"I'm busy, don't call me unless it's important."

Meng Fangtang's body trembled because he did not see Huang Taichu speak; Huang Taichu's voice rang directly in his mind.

It wasn't a voice transmission over a distance; the voice resounded directly in his mind.

"what"

Before he could adapt to the new things, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and fell to the ground, struggling in pain.

This was his haphazard attempt to summon, which led to his being tormented by Huang Taichu.

"I was wrong...I was wrong, I won't do it again."

After repeatedly begging for mercy, Meng Fangtang finally stopped convulsing.

At that moment, Meng Fangtang understood everything.

No wonder he chose to submit; the other party wasn't afraid of his betrayal at all. It turns out that his life and death were no longer in his own hands.

"Qingfeng Street Laike Restaurant, you..."

Huang Taichu casually gave a couple of instructions, and then left completely.

After Huang Taichu left, Meng Fangtang slumped down, his heart pounding so hard he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I've seen many extraordinary people, but I've never seen anything like this..."

Meng Fangtang suddenly covered his mouth, afraid that his disrespectful words would be heard by the Venerable One, and that he would once again suffer that inhuman torture.

With the means to eat, drink, and have fun, Huang Taichu naturally sought out a brothel to relax.

He didn't choose the brothel closest to the prison, but instead chose one that was farther away.

To avoid trouble, he did not visit brothels in his true form.
