Chapter 29. Complicated.
Chapter: 4725 Words
A team of nearly 200 people walked towards the villa. With such an imposing manner, I wondered what kind of person they were. With such a grand display and such an expert aura, none of them were inferior to me. In fact, the vast majority of them far surpassed my strength. And in this team of thirty-five people, I can feel that I won't be able to defeat any of them. All of them were top-notch experts. Some of them were already in their forties or fifties, some were in their thirties, and a few were in their twenties. However, it could be seen that they were all elites who had gone through countless hardships…
When they walked to the door, Guan Yuxiang and the others nodded respectfully. I also followed suit. No one would notice me...
They lined up and walked into the mourning hall one by one to offer incense. The butler was responsible for reporting the name of the visitor to the deceased.
At this moment, I saw a few familiar faces in the group of more than a hundred people. Murong Nuo! Jia Ting! Shengu!
"Heavenly Gates Hall Master, Mu Xiaoge, offer incense!”The old butler's hoarse voice trembled as he cried out the name.
An old man in his sixties walked in with steady steps. He took the incense stick handed over by Ling Yuan and bowed three times to the mourning hall. Then, he inserted the incense stick into the huge incense burner.
Heavenly Gates Hall Master? Mu Xiaoge? This person was the most powerful Hall Master of the Heaven's Gate Hall at the entrance of the 36 Halls of the Black Sun-Mu Xiaoge!
After he finished offering incense, he walked out and led a few guards to the guest area at the back of the villa. Those who had finished offering incense would go there and finally participate in the memorial ceremony.
"The Hall Master of the Malevolent Punishment Hall, Peng Yu, offer incense!”
"Scarlet Flame Hall's Hall Master, Feng Jiayi, offer incense!”
"Azure Dragon Hall Master, Long Ye, offer incense!”
"White Tiger Hall Master, Lin Jun, offer incense!”
"Vermillion Bird Hall Master, Gong Zhiyu, offer incense!”
"Black Tortoise Hall Master, burn incense!”
"Hall Master of the Death God Hall, Che Shirong, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of War God Hall, Xiao Yin, offer incense!”
"Grand Sunset Hall's Hall Master, Hou Yao, offer incense!”
"Flame Hall's Hall Master, Jin Shang, offer incense!”
"Mysterious Water Hall's Hall Master, Fan Junjie, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of Gale Hall, Huo Qin, offer incense!”
"Heavenly Thunder Hall Master, Di Zhe, offer incense!”
"Earth Movement Hall's Hall Master, Wang Biao, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of the Wheel Wood Hall, Chen Huansheng, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of Ice Hall, Kong Xun, offer incense!”
"Dark Gold Hall Master, Pan Yue, offer incense!”
"Starlight Hall's Hall Master, Zhang Tianhua, offer incense!”
"Sunlight Hall's Hall Master, Bai Yu, offer incense!”
"Moonlight Hall's Hall Master, Tang Shubo, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of the Hall of Sin, Duan Feng, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of the Earth Kui Hall, Liu Lei, offer incense!”
"Heavenly Pain Hall's Hall Master, Jiang Wei, offer incense!”
"Hall Master of Heavenly Sin Hall, He Jie, offer incense!”
"Earth Damage Hall's Hall Master, Guo Xiaoyi, offer incense!”
"Earth Sin Hall's Hall Master, Wu Da, offer incense!”
"Purgatory Hall Master, Zhao Mo, offer incense!”
"Blood Fiend Hall Master, Xu Xi, offer incense!”
The thirty-five hall masters had finished offering incense and brought their guards to the guest area. They sat together and discussed something.
I carefully observed every hall master. Each of them had absolute combat strength and talent that surpassed ordinary people. Being able to become the Hall Master of Black Sun was enough to show their strength. In addition to the power they currently had, it could be said that their abilities were limitless.
And the ten or so hall masters who were captured concealed themselves very well. I could only see a hint of a different sign…
This time, the originally scattered 35 hall masters gathered together once again, although they were not united and had always been scheming against each other. However, there would definitely be a new operation this time. "And the hall that we already have control over will act as a hidden dagger inside…
The black sun was like a giant monster. If he wanted to defeat it, he had to hide in its weakest spot, concentrate all his sharp power, and deliver the most fatal blow at the best moment…
Following that, the 160 to 70 incense masters of the various halls also offered incense. It was already around ten in the morning, and there were cars constantly driving into the villa. The higher-ups of society also came to mourn. The chairman of the business world, the director of the group, the tycoon, the CEO; The various directors, directors, district heads, and councilors in the political world; The officers of the garrison, the officers of the police, and the officers of the police. Many celebrities in the cultural world…
The influence of the black sun was evident.
It was already afternoon, but there were still many people coming and going. Guan Aoxiang and the others, however, ignored their fatigue and stood guard inside and outside the mourning hall, receiving the people who came to mourn.
The villa was already filled with all kinds of high-class cars. All the high-ranking members of society were gathered here.
"The Saint's representative has arrived!" The man in charge of reporting outside the mourning hall shouted.
The Saint was actually the first of the eight great organizations to send a representative. A European blond man walked into the mourning hall. He was dressed in a refined manner. After devoutly offering incense, he went to the reception area. This person was definitely not as simple as he appeared to be.
Following that, the six major underworld organizations of the other world sent representatives: the Primitive Society, the God Society, the Yasukuni Society, the Green Gang, the Hongxing Society, and the mafia group.
Not only that, but any influential society and gang in China would send their representatives to mourn, including first-class gangs like the Triad Gang from Taiwan and the Green Gang alliance, and the East Star Society from Hong Kong and the Hongxing Society alliance.
Gui Fu's intention was to involve all eight underworld organizations in the world and cause chaos. The eight great organizations would definitely use their true trump cards to seize power and territory.
Within a day, almost everyone who was supposed to be here had arrived. At night, a memorial service was held by a lake in the villa.
A high-ranking official of Black Sun began to recite a memorial. Without a doubt, he first recalled Shang's past deeds, how many contributions he had made to the organization, and so on, before concluding.
I sat in the crowd and observed the people around me. The Hall Master and the Incense Master didn't show anything. They wouldn't show their thoughts on their faces, but the representatives of the other large organizations seemed to have some thoughts.
The memorial service ended at around 9 pm. The next day was Shang's burial day, so everyone went back. Jin and I also left the villa, while Guan Aoxiang and the others stayed down to keep watch.
When I returned to my residence, I lay on my bed and thought about my gains today.
"Feng, if I'm not wrong, Guan Aoxiang and the others might have already suspected us.”Jin sat beside me and drank water as he spoke to me. "Yeah, I felt it too. He probably thought of this possibility the moment he saw us. So we have to act as soon as possible." I said.
Jin took the Blood Spirit Slash and looked at it carefully."I think they are much stronger than Xiao. This is a great opportunity for us to improve ourselves.”"Yes, I'm looking forward to fighting them.”I said," Among the thirty-five hall masters, do you think there's anyone who left a particularly deep impression on you other than Mu Xiaoge, the hall master of the Heavenly Gates Hall?”
" You're right." Ember waved his sword." Those who have a deep impression of you are definitely capable people. If there was anyone who paid special attention to…Zhao Mo from the Purgatory Hall!" He stopped the knife in his hand and said to me seriously. "Zhao Mo? This person had an ordinary appearance. Although he exuded the aura of an expert, it was not easy for ordinary people to sense his terror. When I saw this person today, I also felt that he should be the most terrifying existence outside of the Heavenly Gates Hall. The reason why the Purgatory Hall is called the Purgatory Hall is that I think this hall is really powerful.”
"This Space-Time Monk called us and told us that no matter what method we use, we must completely take down the Cold Moon Hall within two days. Then, we will use the fastest speed to get Murong Nuo to cooperate with the Criminal and Scarlet Flame Hall. The Heavenly Gates Hall seemed to be on guard. Mu Xiaoge summoned all the experts under his sect from the outside to guard the central area. The other Halls seemed to have sensed that Shang's sudden death had some sort of unknown secret, so in order to avoid the same fate as the Cold Moon Hall, they began to gather people to defend, and their intelligence system was once again fully activated. We are about to face a huge challenge.
Since that was the case, then let's end this quickly. I thought to myself…
At nine o'clock in the morning, the funeral procession set off from the villa in an orderly manner. Hundreds of black cars lined up in two rows and drove on the road. The leader of the convoy was a pure white limousine. Guan Aoxiang and the other eight people sat in this car. Jin and I sat in the second car and followed them to the cemetery.
Along the way, someone had already cleared the way in advance, and the traffic was not hindered at all. They must have used the military police. Black Sun had a lot of people in the military police, so it was easy to do this.
The convoy drove to a cemetery where many high-ranking members of society were buried.
Everyone got off the car and walked up to the cemetery in an orderly manner. After going through some complicated burial rituals, Shang's coffin was placed in the cemetery.
"Big brother, have a safe journey!" The few of them said to the tombstone with tears in their eyes.
After the funeral, we returned to the villa with Guan Aoxiang and the others. According to their intentions, it was time to elect a new hall master.
The Hall Master of the Black Sun had always been elected by the various Halls, and the capable would take up the position. Only the president would be jointly elected by the 36 hall masters and the 12 clans. Thus, the Cold Moon Hall Master naturally had to be chosen from the few of them.
The mourning hall had not been removed, and it was still decorated like before.
We sat by the lake with them while Guan Aoxiang presided over the overall situation. The entire manor was still guarded by thousands of Cold Moon Hall elites. No one could enter.
"The Cold Moon Hall no longer has a person to preside over the overall situation. In fact, it doesn't matter who becomes the hall master. We just need to lead the Cold Moon Hall brothers better.”Guan Feixiang said.
"Since all of our brothers have returned, why don't you be the hall master?”Kun Lin said to Guan Ao Xiang. "That's right. Your prestige in the hall is second only to big brother.”Zheng Long said.
Originally, Hei Ze wanted me to be the hall master because I saved him once and Jin and I killed Xiao. But now that the other five experts had returned, all the overall situation and opportunities were in their hands. But I can't rule out the possibility that Hei Ze wants me to be the hall master to test or use me. I always felt that each of them was not simple. They all had extremely powerful abilities.
"How about this, whoever can find the mastermind first and avenge big brother, the position of the hall master will be taken by that person?”Yue Qiu suggested," Mm, I agree. Anyway, we brothers don't care about these things. It doesn't matter who becomes the hall master.”Sun Ya echoed.
"Alright, that's it. Let's work together to find the mastermind and avenge Big Brother!”Guan Feixiang agreed to this suggestion.
"But now we can't possibly not have a single person to lead the Cold Moon Hall, right?" There will be chaos sooner or later. There are so many small gangs that have already started to join forces to attack us. If this continues, our brothers will lose their morale.”
"Guan Feixiang, you can lead the brothers in the hall for the time being.”Han Bingtao said. The others also voiced their thoughts about letting him temporarily lead the Cold Moon Hall.
"Since everyone says so, I'll leave it at that for now.”Guan Feixiang sighed.
I listened to their discussion. If things continue like this, then our plan should change a little.
If Guan Feixiang really suspects us, he will do two things. One is to wait and see, and let us develop like this, and then wait for us to reveal a flaw. One is to directly attack us and force us to tell the truth.
No matter what countermeasure he uses, no matter if he suspects us or not, our goal is to take his life. That is our ultimate goal. Therefore, it was very simple to think of it this way. As long as it was the result, it did not matter what the other party thought.
Because this was already a dead game.
"I thought of a very suspicious clue.”said Jin. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Yue Qiu asked,""What clues?"
Jin glanced at them and said slowly,""Before Xiao attempted to assassinate Brother Shang, he had met with one of the Six Great Incense Masters of the Wicked Punishment Hall, Murong Nuo. This is the information we gathered. However, Murong Nuo had helped Brother Shang on the day he was killed, which means that he knew about Xiao's actions.”Everyone's hearts were instantly firmly caught by this point.
"Think about it, if Murong Nuo knew that Xiao wanted to assassinate Brother Shang, he should have told the Cold Moon Hall directly. Why did he bring people to stop him? And it had to appear at the last moment? " This can only mean one thing. Murong Nuo is worthy of our suspicion and is a very important clue.”Jin continued.
When they heard Jin's words, they seemed to have started to ponder about Murong Nuo. Because they were all in the same hall that guarded the South District, they were more familiar with each other.
Jin's idea was to make them temporarily shift their attention to us and place their suspicions on Murong Nuo.
"I've listened to the recording. I think we should find out who Xiao met as soon as possible.”Kun Lin said. His words hit the nail on the head. However, he had struck their own vitals…
"I will arrange for the intelligence organization to speed up the search and find clues as soon as possible.”Heize said. " Then let's do it this way. As for Murong Nuo, let's have a…" Guan Ao Xiang pulled us together. The eight of us gathered together and listened to his plan.
In the afternoon, we went to make our own preparations. Jin and I went to the old man's residence, hoping to get some pointers.
Sitting on the sofa, Ash and I explained the current situation to the old man. Meanwhile, Uncle Tai and the others were making preparations outside.
The old man's expression relaxed a little as he listened.
"I think that the five experts who rushed back this time might have suspected us from the beginning.”I said. The old man nodded." They should be collecting information on you now. They will soon learn about you, so we have to act before they know the bottom line.”
"Then should we stick to the original plan?”Jin asked. I looked at the old man with the same expression. "Let's go according to the original plan. Although on the surface, they're going to set up a trap for Murong Nuo with you guys tonight, in reality, Guan Feixiang's intention is to get rid of all of you.”
"But our current identities are that of the Shangguan and Dongfang families. Do they dare to attack us?”I didn't understand. " No," the old man shook his head." If I'm not wrong, Guan Feixiang probably already knew that you're fake members of the Twelve Great Families." Therefore, tonight, he had to crush this sharp claw of the Cold Moon Hall.”
"There's one more thing I don't understand." Jin asked," Why didn't any of the twelve families send representatives to Shang's memorial service?”
When we heard this, we realized that everyone had overlooked this point. This was a very important point.
As the elder families of the Black Sun, the 12 families had absolute prestige and power. If a hall master died, the 12 families should come to mourn. However, they did not show up at Shang's memorial service.
"Will all thirty-five hall masters attend the funeral?”The old man asked, and we nodded." And the other seven underworld organizations in the world have also sent representatives.”said Jin.
"This is going to be a mess. Gui Fu has completely messed up this game of chess. With all 35 Hall Masters gathered, the Black Sun would undergo an earth-shattering reform, and Gui Fu would intervene at this critical moment to take over his own power. The other seven mafia organizations would also join in and plunder the talents, territory, wealth, prestige, and status they needed. Sigh... "I wonder how many casualties it will cause…" The old man sighed.
It seemed that Gui Fu's game this time was not just about the black sun, but the entire underworld…
