Chapter 96

Xu Anxia sat down and glared coldly at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng sipped his tea, ignoring the others, keeping them at arm's length.

The four hall masters found it incomprehensible. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't imagine Luo Feng would come here so openly and be hired as a guest elder.

Hu Hai, unable to contain himself, called out, "Leader, is this the Luo Feng of the Red Sun Palm?"

"Indeed," Chen Siyu replied, "Hall Master Hu, all hall masters, from now on, we are one family. We must work together to dominate Yunzhou City!"

Everyone stared at Luo Feng, trying to see through him.

Luo Feng slowly put down his teacup, lazily saluted the group, which left Chen Siyu somewhat helpless. Luo Feng was extremely proud and had no intention of befriending anyone, looking down on them.

Xu Anxia snorted coldly.

Zheng Gongming narrowed his eyes, stroking his beard as he sized up Luo Feng, holding back his words.

Hu Hai chuckled, "Leader, he actually became our guest elder. Leader, your magnanimity surpasses that of men, truly admirable!"

"Stop flattering me, Hall Master Hu!" Chen Siyu smiled and shook her head, "With Senior Luo here, our Jingyun Gang's strength has greatly increased, and we have a chance to surpass Qitian Gang."

Hu Hai puffed out his chest, suddenly feeling much more confident, and snorted, "Let's see what kind of experts these bastards can invite this time!"

Xu Anxia's face was tense, unable to release his pent-up frustration.

"Heard a lot about the Red Sun Palm," He Shou saluted and smiled, "Brother Luo, why did you come to our gang? I really don't understand!"

Hu Hai laughed, "It must be the Young Master's doing!"

Luo Feng coughed lightly and said solemnly, "That's right, I came at the request of Young Master Chen."

His old face flushed slightly.

Everyone suddenly understood, each with their own thoughts. It's the Young Master again!

Chen Siyu clapped her hands and smiled, "That's all for today. We have plenty of time to get to know each other. Everyone, go about your business!"

"Leader, I'll stay," Hu Hai said, "With only Old Zheng and Little Xu, I'm not at ease."

He glanced at Luo Feng.

After all, he was a new addition, his loyalty untested. If he were a spy sent by Qitian Gang and suddenly attacked, it would be disastrous. The Young Master had already left, so they couldn't be too careful.

Chen Siyu said, "With Senior Luo here, there's no problem."

Hu Hai thought to himself, "I'm guarding against him," but his face showed a smile, "I'm quite free today."

Chen Siyu saw through his thoughts and smiled, "Alright, Hall Master Hu, go about your business. I know what I'm doing!"

Hu Hai caught her eye and could only nod helplessly, glancing at Luo Feng and saluting, "Alright, we'll come back tonight."

Chen Siyu waved her hand.

Everyone left the hall and exited the Xu residence.

He Shou said, "Luo Feng of the Red Sun Palm, why would he come to be our guest elder?"

Luo Feng was renowned in the martial world. Logically, he wouldn't look at Jingyun Gang, and coming here as a guest elder was a step down. Why would Luo Feng do such a thing!

Moreover, Luo Feng had severely injured the leader, and in a blink, they had become friends, and he became a guest elder. The change was too sudden!

"It must be the Young Master," Hall Master Feng of the Wind Hall sighed, "Our Young Master truly does what others cannot!"

"He must have forced Luo Feng to do it," Hu Hai chuckled, "Look at Luo Feng's unwilling face, it's almost certain!"

"The Young Master is also concerned about the leader's safety," Feng Changfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's also our fault, we're too weak."

"Even if we were stronger, how could we compare to Luo Feng?" He Shou sighed.

They were big shots in Yunzhou City, but in the entire martial world, they were unknown and insignificant. Even at the same innate realm, the difference in strength was vast.

"That's true," Hu Hai said, "If we're not as skilled, there's nothing we can do!"

He Shou snorted, "I've heard a lot about the Red Sun Palm, I want to challenge him a few moves!"

As the Rain Hall Master, his position dictated his thoughts. He was both relieved and wary of Luo Feng's arrival.

Luo Feng's presence indeed strengthened Jingyun Gang, and they would all benefit, but he would definitely stand with the leader.

Luo Feng's reputation far surpassed theirs, and his martial arts were formidable. With his support, the leader would speak more confidently, exerting greater pressure on the four hall masters.

During the Xu Zhichun era, their power was suppressed to the lowest point, and they had to be submissive and obedient. Now, with the leader's authority weakened, their lives were much better, and they hoped to maintain the status quo, with the leader continuing to rule with a light touch.

If the leader became strong, they would have to return to those days, which they were unwilling to do.

With these thoughts, he wanted to give Luo Feng a taste of his power.

Zheng Gongming and Xu Anxia were no match for Luo Feng, but that was because they had caught him off guard. With preparation, they might not lose, and even if they did, a few more moves would be enough.

"Old He, you can't do it," Hu Hai chuckled.

"I have to try!" He Shou snorted, "We need to let him know who's the boss!"

"You...," Hu Hai shook his head, "You have too many thoughts. Don't worry, the leader isn't the type to betray her allies!"

What He Shou was worried about, Hu Hai and the others all knew, but they couldn't say it outright.

Luo Feng's arrival would certainly make him the leader's trusted confidant, overshadowing them. Their words would carry less weight, and their lives would be harder.

"The leader is young, and we old guys need to help her, so she doesn't go astray," He Shou said.

Hu Hai laughed, "You better not go astray, look at the example of the previous Hall Master Cheng! The Young Master isn't merciful!"

"Of course," He Shou's heart tightened.

They all feared the Young Master, who was highly skilled, ruthless, and quick to kill. Even as hall masters, the Young Master would show no mercy!

"Right, giving Luo Feng a taste of our power isn't bad," Feng Changfeng said, "But it might backfire."

"Not necessarily!" He Shou snorted, "I've made great progress in my martial arts recently!"

Hu Hai laughed, "Good, I want to see what the Red Sun Palm is really capable of!"

In the evening, everyone gathered at the Xu residence.

Every night, they would come to discuss gang affairs, exchange ideas, and offer suggestions, a habit formed since Chen Siyu became the leader.

Chen Siyu and Luo Feng hadn't arrived yet, and Hu Hai and the others were sitting together, chatting and drinking tea.

"Old Zheng, did that Luo guy give you any trouble?" Hu Hai asked with a smile.

Zheng Gongming usually dozed off at this time and didn't talk much. Hearing Hu Hai's question, he opened his eyes and stroked his beard, smiling.

Xu Anxia said, "He—? Hmph!"

"Did you fight?" Hu Hai leaned forward, grinning.

Xu Anxia pursed his lips and snorted, "His eyes are on the top of his head, he doesn't even look at us!"

"Oh—?" He Shou frowned, "That arrogant?"

"Even more arrogant and crazy than I said!" Xu Anxia snorted indignantly, "Unbelievable!"

"Xu!" Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and glanced at him, "If you're not as skilled, why say so much nonsense!"

Xu Anxia closed his mouth helplessly.

Chen Siyu entered gracefully, followed by Luo Feng.

She glanced at everyone and sat in the central armchair, "What were you talking about?"

"Leader, I want to challenge Brother Luo a few moves!" He Shou stood up, "I've heard a lot about the Red Sun Palm and want to experience it firsthand!"

Chen Siyu looked at Luo Feng.

Her bright eyes flickered, and she understood He Shou's thoughts.

Luo Feng glanced coldly at He Shou, "You—? Come on, all of you!"

"Such arrogance!" He Shou stood up, saluted, "Brother Luo, though you are renowned, we're not pushovers. I want to see your true strength!"

Luo Feng didn't bother with words, left the armchair, stood opposite him, and stretched his hand, "Come on!"

Chen Siyu said, "Just a friendly match, don't hurt each other!"

They nodded at her, and He Shou shouted, his right fist shooting out like lightning, using his full strength.

Luo Feng snorted and pushed out a palm.

The palm was slow but arrived first, bypassing He Shou's right fist and lightly tapping his chest.

He Shou watched helplessly as his body moved like a snail, and he was hit in the chest, flying a dozen feet away and landing steadily.

He touched his chest, which bore a palm print, but felt nothing.

"Amazing!" Hu Hai gave a thumbs up.

He saw the subtlety of the palm, which was incredibly fast and powerful. Even he couldn't have avoided it.

An expert's move was genuine, and the Red Sun Palm lived up to its reputation.

He Shou saluted, his expression bitter, "Impressive!"

Luo Feng's face was expressionless as he sat back in the armchair to Chen Siyu's left.

Chen Siyu smiled, "Anyone else want to challenge the Red Sun Palm?"

Hu Hai and the others shook their heads.

Chen Siyu said, "Alright, let's get to business. About Qitian Gang... They've been very aggressive lately, acting like they own Yunzhou City. It's time to wake them up!"

"Leader, are we going to attack Qitian Gang?" Hu Hai's eyes lit up.

Chen Siyu nodded, "I plan to destroy one of their halls."

Qitian Gang's structure was the same as Jingyun Gang, with four halls, each with a hundred people, similar in number but far inferior in strength.

"Perfect!" Hu Hai laughed, "I've had it with them. Leader, you've been holding back!"

Chen Siyu said, "With internal unrest, how can we start a war? Now that we have Senior Luo, the timing is right. We can act."

"How do we do it?" Hu Hai asked eagerly.

Luo Feng said, "Leader."

Chen Siyu turned to him and smiled, "Senior Luo, any suggestions?"

Luo Feng said solemnly, "No need to complicate things. Just kill Huang Hai."

"This..." Chen Siyu frowned, thinking.

"Hmph, such arrogance!" Xu Anxia pursed his lips.

Luo Feng ignored him, focusing on Chen Siyu.

Chen Siyu said, "Are you sure? Isn't it too dangerous?"

Luo Feng said, "While they don't know I've joined our gang, they won't be prepared. It will be easy."

"Brother Luo, isn't Huang Hai your friend?" He Shou asked.

Huang Hai was the leader of Qitian Gang, highly skilled, though not as strong as Xu Zhichun, he was still formidable. They couldn't defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

Luo Feng shook his head, "No."

"Brother Luo, did you attack the leader because of Qitian Gang?" He Shou asked.

"It was because of Qitian Gang, but not Huang Hai," Luo Feng said.

"Then who?"

Luo Feng remained silent.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting this outcome.
