Chapter 181 Chapter 180 [Howling West Wind]

The main village of the Seven Star Gang is vast, with nearly [-] gang members living here. Shi Changsheng and other Lei Tang gang members live in a relatively remote southeast corner, so it was difficult for the thrilling fight to attract the attention of others at first.

However, as the leader of the gang, Lin Jie had many things to do, and soon several of his followers came to ask for instructions.

What they didn't expect was that someone would stop them outside the Lei Hall and not allow them to get close to Shi Changsheng's residence.

The leader was Wu Shude, the deacon of Lei Hall. He used the torches swaying in the wind to see the faces of the people in front of him clearly, and said calmly: "The gang leader and Hall Master Shi have important matters to discuss. You go back and wait for later. The leader will return when the time comes."

The relatives were led by Ji Yucai, who had been with Lin Jie since ten years ago. He immediately frowned and said: "Deacon Wu, I have something important to report to the gang leader. Why did you bring cousin Lei to stop us? See, we should be left alone." The gang leader decides, how can it be left to you to make your own decisions?"

Wu Shude said impatiently: "I have already said that the gang leader is discussing confidential matters with Hall Master Shi, and no one is allowed to disturb it. Even we can't get close. Brother Ji, even if you have something big, I can't Let you in."

Ji Yucai's eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment he had noticed something was wrong.

Although this is within the gate of the main village, and Shi Changsheng has always been upright and righteous, there should be no problems. However, due to the recent recruitment of the Yan Dynasty, there has been an undercurrent in the gang, and the attitude of the deacon of Lei Hall in front of him is too strange. Ji Yucai can't help but feel I felt a little chilled in my heart.

In the hunting night wind, Ji Yucai looked at the solemn-looking Lei Tang gang and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will go alone to meet the gang leader. If the gang leader is blamed for this, Ji will bear the responsibility!"

He took a step forward, and immediately he heard the sound of drawing swords. Everyone in Lei Hall directly showed their weapons under Wu Shude's order.

Wu Shude's long sword was half unsheathed and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Ji, don't force me to take action."

The hearts of Ji Yucai and others instantly sank. He raised his hand to stop the others' impulse, looked at Wu Shude steadily, nodded and said, "Okay, Ji will not embarrass cousin Lei."

He turned around and left.

Wu Shude stared at the backs of these people with a stern look in his eyes.

A person came to him and whispered: "There are no results yet. I guess Ji Yucai and others will not give up just now."

Wu Shude nodded and said, "I know, go and invite Uncle Gui."

After about a stick of incense, a group of people hurriedly came to the outskirts of Lei Hall. There were about 50 to [-] people, all of them were tall, round-waisted men with fierce looks. All of them were carrying weapons. The leader was Ran Xuanzhi, the master of Lin Hall.

However, this time it was not Wu Shude who stood in front of him, but the gang veteran Gui Yuanzong who looked cold and calm.

"Second Uncle Gui, what does this mean?"

Ran Xuanzhi asked with a frown.

Guiyuan Sect indifferently swept through the people in front. In addition to the gang leader headed by Ji Yucai, there were also the guards around Ran Xuanzhi, as well as a few elites from Shan and Yin Hall who stayed in the main village.

His hawk-like gaze rested on Ran Xuanzhi's face, and he said coldly: "Nephew Ran Xian, why don't you stay in Lintang to settle accounts, and why are you bringing this group of people to Leitang?"

Ran Xuanzhi said in a deep voice: "Brother Ji told me that the gang leader entered Lei Hall more than an hour ago, saying that he was attending a banquet at the invitation of Hall Master Shi, but he still has not come out. Just now, Brother Ji reported something to the gang leader, and Wu Shude, the deacon of Lei Hall, unexpectedly led Everyone draws their swords to stop them, what kind of logic is this?"

"Also, why does Second Uncle Gui appear here? You have resigned from the position of the gang for many years, and you have no right to directly intervene in the affairs of the gang. If the facts are as Wu Shude said, the gang leader and Hall Master Shi are discussing confidential matters, and no one else is allowed to do so. If you go and bother me, you don’t need to trouble Uncle Gui to come forward in this matter.”

"On the way here, I learned that Hall Master Jiang of Feng Hall and Hall Master Shang of Fire Hall were missing. Can Second Uncle Gui tell my nephew whether they are in Hall Master Shi's house at the moment?"

In the flickering firelight, Ran Xuanzhi's face was solemn and his eyes were slightly anxious.

"I know that the gang leader is cautious all his life, but I didn't expect that he would be so cautious that he would even hide it from you, a recognized confidant. As the saying goes, success and failure are all alone. If there is a regret medicine in this world, he will definitely not treat you Hiding so many things.”

Guiyuan Zong sighed inexplicably, looking at Ran Xuanzhi with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Ran Xuanzhi said: "Second Uncle Gui, what are you—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Guiyuan Sect raise his right arm, and then the elites of Lei Hall swarmed forward, and dozens of masters appeared on both sides, surrounding the people brought by Ran Xuanzhi.

Ran Xuanzhi's expression changed slightly, because he recognized that most of the people on both sides were Fengtang elites.

Several deacons, including Wu Shude, stood in front of Guiyuanzong, obviously to prevent the people on the opposite side from making a surprise attack. However, Guiyuanzong pushed aside the crowd, took a few steps forward and said to the dozens of people surrounded: "Everyone Young and old men, I am the Guiyuan Sect. When the Seven Star Gang was founded 30 years ago, I was about the same age as you are now."

He was full of energy and had a loud voice, and people seemed to remember at this moment that he had superb martial arts, second only to the first gang leader Jiang Zhi among the founders of the gang at that time.Ran Xuanzhi saw his posture and immediately interrupted: "Guiyuan Zong, do you want to rebel?"

"Rebellion? How fresh."

Gui Yuanzong smiled and said contemptuously: "From the first day our Seven Star Gang was established, everyone's idea was not to be a dog for the doggy court. What's the point of rebellion? Besides, you said we wanted to rebel. , Who are we going to rebel against? Lin Jie? He is not worthy!"

"Presumptuous!" Ran Xuanzhi shouted angrily.

Guiyuan Zong didn't take it seriously and continued: "Lin Jie, a lonely man, will lead tens of thousands of people to death for his own selfishness! Although he was once the leader of the Seven Star Gang, the Seven Star Gang is not his private property! He wants to die himself , or he wants to lead Dong Mian and others to death, we will not stop him, but he cannot tie the entire Seven Star Gang to his ship! I tell you, confrontation with the Yan Dynasty is a dead end. Nan Qi’s son can win? I’m dreaming!”

Ran Xuanzhi calmed down at this moment. He looked at the enemies around him. These should be all the confidants that Guiyuan Zong, Jiang Houming and Shang Benyi could mobilize.

The only thing that needs to be worried is the gang leader who is trapped in Lei Tang at the moment, but when he thinks of the gang leader's reminders a few days ago, Ran Xuanzhi's nervous heart gradually calms down.

Guiyuan Zong didn't know what was going on, and there was a complex expression of pride and anger on his face, and there was also a bit of arrogance like a young man's madness: "Tonight is when our Seven Star Gang brings order to the chaos, Lin Jie, a single man, will definitely die! If you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender, I can protect you from death! Otherwise, don’t blame the ruthlessness of swords and guns!"

The dozens of people surrounded in the middle did not respond. They looked solemnly and clenched their weapons with both hands, ready to fight.

This is a completely open rebellion, and both sides are fighting to the death. These men who have been licking blood from their swords all year round know it very well.

Ran Xuanzhi looked at the other party's crazy posture and suddenly asked meaningfully: "Guiyuan Zong, are you sure these people can take us down?"

Guiyuanzong didn't answer and laughed wantonly.

However, his laughter soon came to an abrupt end. It was not that the gang leader lacked energy and could not even sustain his laughter, but that a more magnificent thunder suppressed his arrogance and wantonness.

The thunder came from far to near, stepping on the clouds.

Ran Xuanzhi crossed his arms and looked calm.

Deacons from Guiyuan Sect, Wu Shude and other halls, as well as hundreds of elites holding open fires, followed the sound and saw countless cavalry running along the wide road in the village, all holding bright torches.

The figure rushing at the front gradually revealed its face. Every time Guiyuanzong saw a face clearly, his complexion became paler.

Dong Mian, the master of the mountain hall, looked ashen.

Qi Lianfu, the master of the Yin Hall, has seen the dragon but not its tail.

The stewards of the five surrounding villages were filled with a murderous look.

Tao Baochun, Xi Jun, Ji Shan, Yang Huning and other martial arts masters who were absolutely loyal to Lin Jie.

Two to three hundred elite masters wearing armor and holding swords.

There is also the young man and woman between the two hall masters.

Lu Chen, the captain of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

Lin Xi, the daughter of gang leader Lin Jie.

The wind howled.

A sword about seven feet long struck through the air. Guiyuan Zong didn't dare to be careless, so he retreated and raised his spear to block.

Terrifying power came from the blade, and he took two more steps back to stabilize his figure. The sword was inserted diagonally into the ground next to him, and the handle of the sword trembled violently.

Lin Xi looked coldly at the hundreds of people who had made the rebellion. After throwing the machete, he held his waist knife, raised the knife and pointed forward, with a cold tone.

"kill!"
