Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 182 The Green Robe Society! You just tried to kill me?
The incident at Jinlou happened suddenly. Chen Zhan and Ye Ningzhen gave no one time to prepare. They stormed into Jinlou and swept through the entire building with unstoppable force.

Whether it was the upper echelons of the martial arts world in Beiping, the thirteen martial arts schools, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Yellow Lotus Sect, or official institutions like the Beiping Police Department.

It wasn't until the next day that I realized what had happened.

A powerful dragon has arrived in Beiping, intending to cross the river and dominate the martial arts world. Jinlou is engaged in the opium trade, so it's a perfect opportunity to target Jinlou.

Deter the scoundrels.

But the methods were too cruel, causing blood to gush out of the Golden Pavilion and unrest among the people of Beiping.

Naturally, someone had to be sent to investigate the next day.

There were thirteen martial arts schools in Beiping, and two major warlords, the Northwest Army and the Central Army, were stationed outside Beiping.

The top officials of Beiping were also appointed by these two warlords.

Beiping and Fengtian were similar in that they both appeared to be under the unified command of the Nanjing National Government, but in reality, they were at odds and acted independently.

The difference is that Fengtian City was still mainly composed of the Northeast Army and the Young Marshal.

The Northwest Army outside Beiping City, having suffered setbacks in years of warfare, was almost incorporated into the Central Army, and the Nationalist government had largely taken control of Beiping.

At the same time, we should win over and support martial arts practitioners, since top martial arts masters are powerful weapons, and they are always successful in assassination and espionage.

Moreover, they were adept at dealing with foreign enemies and showed no mercy when killing foreigners.

The "Green Robe Society" was established to recruit martial arts practitioners, train experts, and deal with emergencies, assassinations, and intelligence gathering.

Now that Chen Zhan has caused a ruckus at the Golden Pavilion, it has naturally attracted the attention of the "Green Robe Society".

Moreover, when Chen Zhan and his companion left the Golden Pavilion, although they moved quickly, they did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts in order to leave clues so that the old eunuch could find them.

So within a day, the Tsing Yi Society came knocking on their door.

However, they arrived a little late.

Hong Chen arrived near Chen Zhan's residence, intending to have a friendly conversation, probe Chen Zhan's intentions, and perhaps even try to recruit him into the Green Robe Society.

Before he even got close, he could hear Chen Zhan engaged in a fierce battle with someone. It was dark all around, and from a distance, only Chen Zhan's small courtyard had light.

The sound was earth-shattering.

The two fought fiercely, and Hong Chen had no intention of killing, so neither Chen Zhan nor the old eunuch noticed.

Hong Chen was also caught in a dilemma. If he launched a sneak attack and fired at this moment, he might have a chance to kill Chen Zhan and eliminate any future troubles.

Whether or not they can kill him is another matter; if they do, they will lose the opportunity to recruit a top expert.

Within a year of its establishment, the Tsing Yi Society was fully supported by the Nationalist government, which provided it with guns, manpower, and money whenever needed.

The permissions granted are more than sufficient.

Therefore, they recruited many masters from various schools, including Yang-style Tai Chi, Wu-style Tai Chi, and Wang-style Xingyi, all of whom held positions in the Qingyi Society.

However, just as Chen Zhan was burning the old eunuch to death.

Hong Chen felt this was his last chance, so he subtly revealed a hint of killing intent.
But in that instant, Chen Zhan noticed them even though they were thousands of meters apart.

Chen Zhan turned to look at him in the firelight, and he felt a terrifying gaze coming from the void, and a fine layer of sweat immediately appeared on his back.

Fortunately, he had carried out assassination missions for many years and had extremely high mental fortitude.

He immediately put away his gun and left.

Being a kilometer apart, Chen Zhan couldn't possibly arrive in an instant, so he frantically changed his location along the way.

Chen Zhan's courtyard was already outside the city. Continuing southeast towards the capital, the road was mostly vegetable fields with occasional villages and houses. Hong Chen dared not enter, always feeling that someone was watching him from behind.

Hong Chen ran wildly, feeling his heart and lungs pounding. He was skilled in martial arts, but he couldn't compare to a monster like Chen Zhan.

However, he has done a lot of assassinations and espionage over the years, and he is quite skilled at hiding and concealing himself.

Braving the fierce wind and torrential rain, we ran for seven or eight miles, passed through the East Suburb Pavilion, turned south again, and entered a dense forest.

By this time, they had already left the capital city area.

With his physical abilities, running dozens or even hundreds of miles would be no problem for him, but witnessing Chen Zhan kill the Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus tonight was like a lingering nightmare, making him constantly wary of what was behind him as he ran.

Physical strength is consumed very quickly.

Unable to sense Chen Zhan chasing him, he thought to himself, "I've changed directions more than ten times along the way. Even a god couldn't keep up with me."
I stopped and leaned against a big tree, panting heavily as I rested.

But after only a few breaths, raindrops landed on my face, and I wiped them away.
"You just tried to kill me?" a voice came from behind.
Hong Chen turned around abruptly. Chen Zhan's voice reached his ears as he walked out of the woods, leaving a trail of afterimages, as if he were seen through a fine rain curtain, his figure like a ghost.

He was jolted awake, his whole body trembling.

The courage and confidence he had accumulated over the years of assassinations were completely depleted at this moment.

In Hong Chen's eyes, an opponent like Chen Zhan was no longer human.

At that speed, you can't even see it clearly, let alone fire a gun.

Moreover, given his high position and the official background of the Tsing Yi Society, he knew more information than anyone else.

They had a general idea of ​​what the Yellow Lotus Sect had done in the capital, as well as the Yellow Lotus Saintess and the Great Protector, and they also knew roughly what their martial arts techniques were.

The only exception was the Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus, whom I had only seen a few times from afar. I couldn't keep an eye on her, nor was there any way to do so, because her kung fu was too high, and she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

But this man was beaten to death by Chen Zhan.

From his telescope, he saw that the Holy Mother of the Yellow Lotus was almost powerless to resist. No matter how she attacked, Chen Zhan easily neutralized her attacks. When Chen Zhan made a move, she was forced to retreat step by step. In the end, when she tried to run away, Chen Zhan caught up with her and crippled her.

He tried to fake his death and be resurrected, but his plan was exposed.

The slight thought of killing that crossed my mind just now was probably because I saw Chen Zhan's skills and felt that he was unmatched and uncontrollable. Such a dangerous element should not exist.

Looking back now, the idea of ​​killing Chen Zhan seems even more ridiculous.

Hong Chen immediately gave up resisting and raised his hands, saying:

"Mr. Chen is terrifying. He is like a shadow, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I did have a slight murderous intent just now, but you immediately extinguished it in the bud."

Chen Zhan looked at the person in front of him and saw that he possessed Bajiquan skills and the posture of Tai Chi.

The clothes were blue, with three silver plum blossoms embroidered on the chest.

"From the Blue Robe Society? You know me?"

Chen Zhan reached out and touched him. Hong Chen did not resist. Instantly, he felt all his strength being dissipated, his center of gravity was forced, and he swayed a few times before leaning against a big tree to steady himself.

"Mr. Chen, do you know the Tsing Yi Society? Others may forget your appearance and name, but we in the Tsing Yi Society will definitely remember you. You never hesitate to kill Japanese people, and I admire you very much."

Hong Chen saw that Chen Zhan knew about the Green Robe Society, and a glimmer of hope appeared on his mind. He didn't expect the name of the Green Robe Society to intimidate the other party. Chen Zhan was so ruthless in killing Japanese that he didn't care about anyone's identity.

However, if the other party knew about the Green Robe Society, they should have known that the Green Robe Society was a friend, not an enemy. In essence, the Green Robe Society's work was also about assassination, intelligence gathering, and defense against external enemies. Chen Zhan also came from an assassination background.

The two sides also have some history.

However, Chen Zhan's next words chilled him to the bone.

"The Green Robe Society, of course we know. They're quick to kill their own people, but they don't dare to lay a hand on outsiders."

The Tsing Yi Society carries out assassinations, but they mostly target internal enemies and eliminate dissidents. To this day, they still maintain a policy of appeasement towards the Japanese and foreigners.

"Um, Mr. Chen, you've misunderstood. We..."

"Forget it, no need to say anything more. I'm not interested. If you want to live, I'll give you a chance."

"If you say so, I will do my best to comply."

In a dramatic turn of events, Hong Chen, who thought he was doomed, was surprised when Chen Zhan offered him a way out.

"Within three days, send the list of people who collude with the Yellow Lotus Sect and traffic in opium to Shuncheng Bagua Hall."

“I will verify whether the people on the list are real or not. If there is even one fake one, your Green Robe Society can arrange your troops and see if you can stop me from killing you. Of course, you can also take the initiative to kill me.”

"No, no, I wouldn't dare. The list will be delivered within three days. I wouldn't dare break my promise."

Hong Chen answered quickly without hesitation, and he felt no psychological burden at all.

That's exactly what the Green Robe Society does: infiltrating, eliminating traitors, assassinating, and spying. It would be even better if Chen Zhan could take over.

Although it may involve some people from our own camp, opium is explicitly prohibited by the laws of the Nationalist government. If you cross the line, there's nothing you can do but die.

"you can go now."

After Chen Zhan finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the rain.

Hong Chen looked down and saw that the gun he had brought was gone; Chen Zhan had taken it. He sighed, realizing that the situation was beyond his control and there was nothing he could do.

The Tsing Yi Society holds a very high level of authority.

As the deputy head of the Beiping branch, he was on the same level as the police chief, but because he did things in secret, he had more access to clandestine matters.

However, the Beiping branch was newly established and had only recruited some people from martial arts schools, with almost no top-level masters.

Grandmasters of Transformation Realm are the heads of their respective schools and pillars of any family or sect.

Nowadays, unless the nation faces a life-or-death crisis, martial artists will not join the Green Robe Society, abandoning their positions as masters to fight to the death everywhere.

Therefore, Hong Chen knew that there was nothing he could do about Chen Zhan now.

If they were to lead a raid, no matter how many people they brought, they would not be able to capture Chen Zhan himself. They might be able to capture his family and friends, but that would be a lose-lose situation.

Such a master will not surrender easily; he will only seek revenge.

There was no other way but to obey Chen Zhan's orders.

After much thought, he realized that perhaps, besides all this, a loss might actually be a blessing in disguise.

From his perspective, Chen Zhan's actions, apart from being a bit reckless, were actually not problematic.

Perhaps we can establish a special kind of relationship.

I don't ask to be used by the Tsing Yi Society, but I only ask to have more of a connection with them, that's enough.

Chen Zhan returned to the courtyard through the rain. The courtyard was rented, and now that it had burned down, he had to pay compensation.

The money still had to come from the Huanglian Sect.

Although the Yellow Lotus Sect was established not long ago, it amassed wealth very quickly. The Golden Pavilion has now been sealed off, and all the money has been confiscated by the police.

He wants the money.

This will serve as funding for the future reconstruction of the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

Chen Zhan walked in the rain, heading straight for the Eight Great Hutongs, and soon arrived at the courtyard house where the three Ye Ningzhen sisters lived.

The three of them and the little fox were obviously not going to sleep; they were all waiting for him.

Hearing the door open, Ye Ningzhen immediately became alert and saw Chen Zhan enter through the crack in the door and the rain.

The people immediately went out to greet them.

"Are you alright?" Ye Ningzhen murmured in the rain, and Chen Zhan heard her clearly.

"It's alright, let's go inside and talk."

Ye Ningzhen and the others were very worried about him, but Chen Zhan felt fine. No one understood his own strength better than him. The Yellow Lotus Holy Mother seemed to have all sorts of tricks, with poisonous snakes, poisonous creatures, and secret techniques, but she only lost by one point.

Insufficient strength!

Any trick must be based on strength.

Once inside, the little fox, though extremely sleepy, insisted on staying awake, refusing to go to sleep no matter what.

Seeing that Chen Zhan had returned safely, he went straight to sleep.

Ye Ningzhen told the two women about Zhao Hongbao's matter, and the three of them had already sent a message to Li Guangpu, asking him to make a decision.

"Tomorrow you will take over the affairs of Shuncheng Bagua Hall. Someone will probably come to deliver a letter in the next couple of days. If I am not there, please receive it for me."

"it is good."

"And what about you? You're the target of everyone's criticism now, with many people watching you," Ye Ningzhen said.

"I'm going to pay a visit to Wang Xiangzhai. According to seniority, he is my senior uncle. I have thirteen martial arts schools to choose from. He is a formidable opponent, and I can't just kill him casually."

Ye Ningzhen nodded. Wang Xiangzhai was of a very high seniority. She had learned about the martial arts world in Beiping during this time and knew that he was not only of a high seniority, but also had even higher martial arts skills.

Along with Li Chunran of Wu-style Tai Chi, they were known as the "Twin Pillars of the Capital's Martial Arts World".

"Should we fight him?" Ye Ningzhen asked with a smile.

Chen Zhan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It would be best if we could avoid taking action, but that might be difficult. I am a junior, and even if Mr. Wang agrees, his disciples would not be willing."

Cheng Yong was also Wang Xiangzhai's first disciple, but he was too young to receive the true teachings.

Given these two relationships, Chen Zhan didn't want to break off relations unless absolutely necessary.

However, the matter must be done. I don't plan to stay in the North for long. My reputation and prestige must be built up to be known by everyone.

When the Japanese march south from the Northeast, these military men will know who to turn to.
