In a world of chaos and demonic warfare, the Axe Gang reigns supreme.

Qiaozhen Central Hospital.

Before helping Xing Feng into the operating room, Bai Ye took out a blood lotus seed and put it into his mouth.

Xing Feng was shot several times and his blood and qi were depleted. The blood lotus seeds can help him recover quickly.

After sending Xing Feng into the operating room, Bai Ye did not turn around and leave, but stood guard at the door of the operating room.

Biaozi and the others didn't sit idle either; they immediately contacted Xing Feng's family and asked them to come to the hospital to take care of him.

While waiting, Bai Ye was bored, so he took out the book "Maoshan Magic" that Master Zhang had given him and read it to pass the time.

Bai Ye became increasingly alarmed as he read on, discovering that the "Maoshan Magic" that Master Zhang had given him seemed to be somewhat illegitimate.

Bai Ye originally thought that the things recorded in "Maoshan Magic" must be various powerful spells, such as the Five Thunder Spell and the Heavenly King Spell.

The result was not like that at all. The book "Maoshan Magic" that Master Zhang gave him mainly recorded the techniques of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, as well as the techniques of corpse driving, corpse raising, and corpse refining.

This doesn't look like the work of a righteous cultivator.

Although the "Maoshan Magic" given by Master Zhang was not authentic, Bai Ye read it with great interest and decided to master it completely.

Bai Ye felt that it didn't matter if the "Maoshan Magic" given by Master Zhang wasn't authentic, as long as he could fully comprehend it, he could understand its origin and then learn authentic Maoshan Taoist magic.

An hour passed quickly.

With Bai Ye's wholehearted study, he has basically mastered the theories of magic recorded in "Maoshan Magic".

Next, all you need to do is prepare the necessary tools and practice.

While Bai Ye was still engrossed in reading, the operating room door was pushed open, and a stretcher was wheeled out.

Xing Feng lay on the stretcher, his consciousness restored, and it appeared that the bullets had been removed.

"Doctor, how is he?"

Seeing the doctor come out of the operating room, Bai Ye, with some concern, quickly got up and went to ask him.

The doctor removed his mask and gave Bai Ye a reassuring smile: "If it were an ordinary person, being shot more than a dozen times would definitely be fatal."

"However, he is a martial artist with strong qi and blood. Although he was shot and his vital energy was damaged, he is not seriously injured and will be fine after a period of rest."

Hearing the answer from the doctor, Bai Ye felt a little relieved; his 50 national luck points had been saved.

At this moment, the doctor seemed to remember something and instructed Bai Ye again: "By the way, before he went into the operating room, he took that supplement to restore his qi and blood. If you have any, you can feed him some more. His survival was largely due to that supplement."

Hearing the doctor's instructions, Bai Ye didn't hesitate at all and immediately fed Xing Feng another pill.

Xing Feng heard every word of the doctor's conversation with Bai Ye, and his eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Bai Ye.

This time, he really owes a debt to Bai Ye, otherwise he would have been dead for sure.

"Bai Ye, thank you!"

Xing Feng swallowed the blood lotus seed and thanked him in a heavy voice.

Bai Ye waved his hand dismissively, pushing him towards a private room: "Boss, what's the story with Yi Tuo? How did he join the Axe Gang? And how did he become the deputy boss?"

"This is a rather complicated matter!"

Xing Feng thought for a moment and began to tell Bai Ye the situation: "He was introduced to the gang by my wife. He is my wife's distant cousin. After joining the gang, he has always performed well, so I have been cultivating him as a confidant."

"I just didn't expect him to be so ambitious and so ruthless."

After listening to Xing Feng's explanation, Bai Ye's expression became serious, and his gaze towards Xing Feng turned colder.

He really didn't expect that Xing Feng and Yi Tuo had this kind of relationship. So, was it right for him to save Xing Feng?

However, Bai Ye didn't immediately turn hostile. Instead, he tentatively asked Xing Feng, "Boss, even if you consider Yi Tuo a confidant, aren't you aware that he's secretly courting other powerful figures?"

"Of course I already knew."

Xing Feng gave a self-deprecating laugh, then revealed a regretful expression: "I just thought at the time that we were all relatives, and if we fell out, I wouldn't be able to face my friends and family in the future."

"Besides, he was just trying to win people over and didn't do anything to hurt me, so I turned a blind eye."

After hearing Xing Feng's explanation, Bai Ye could only sigh.

Xing Feng's fate can only be attributed to his character.

His indecisive nature, coupled with his hesitation to make a decision, naturally led to more trouble.

"Bai Ye, you practice ancient martial arts, right?"

After telling his story, Xing Feng asked Bai Ye curiously.

Bai Ye nodded slightly.

Upon receiving Bai Ye's affirmative answer, Xing Feng's expression became more serious. He solemnly instructed Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, under no circumstances should you take the serum potion and switch from ancient martial arts to the path of new martial arts."

"Once you take the serum potion and embark on the new martial arts path, you will need to use the serum potion if you want to break through your cultivation level in the future."

"Everyone else is controlled by Yi Tuo; they've all embarked on the new martial path. If they want to break through, they have to obey Yi Tuo."

……

After listening to Xing Feng's explanation, Bai Ye nodded in understanding, gaining a new understanding of Xinwu.

No wonder foreigners are promoting new weapons so vigorously; it turns out they have this purpose in mind.

Once the new martial arts replace the ancient martial arts, the new martial arts practitioners will become puppets, the sharpest blades in the hands of the foreigners.

"Chief, what are your plans now? Are you really going to step down and leave everything to chance?"

Looking at Xing Feng lying on the bed, Bai Ye tentatively asked a question, wanting to see his attitude towards the Qiaozhen branch.

Upon hearing this, Xing Feng's face turned cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "If Yi Tuo had let me leave, I might have really given up my position as the leader, but he actually wanted my life. How could I let this grudge go?"

"Bai Ye, I need manpower next. Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

"After this is done, I can recommend you to be the head of the town's innkeeper, as a way of repaying the kindness of saving me."

Upon hearing Xing Feng's words, Bai Ye frowned, somewhat tempted by Xing Feng's offer.

With Xing Feng's help, he could quickly take control of the Axe Gang and then naturally take control of Qiao Town.

"There's no rush. Let's talk about it after you recover."

Although Bai Ye had a plan, he did not agree immediately.

After chatting briefly with Xing Feng, Bai Ye decided not to disturb his rest and prepared to leave the ward.

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.

At the front was a young girl of about sixteen, followed by a middle-aged woman and an elderly man with gray hair.

Behind the group of people were two foreigners, a man and a woman, both around twenty years old.

The girl approached Bai Ye, glaring at him angrily, and arrogantly questioned him: "What kind of lackeys are you? When my dad was shot, why didn't you shield him from the bullet?"

Upon hearing the girl's accusatory words, Bai Ye frowned and turned to look at Xing Feng on the hospital bed.

The meaning was very clear: they were asking Xing Feng what to do.

Xing Feng's face darkened, his gaze turning icy as he looked at the girl. He gritted his teeth and said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, slap her in the face. Let her know what she should and shouldn't say."

"good!"

Upon hearing Xing Feng's request, Bai Ye showed no mercy and slapped the girl hard across the face.

Bai Ye showed no mercy, slapping the girl away and instantly drawing everyone's attention.

No one expected Bai Ye to act so decisively, showing absolutely no mercy.
