Dong Chengwu was a man who adhered to the rules. The Flying-eagle Gang had grown from nothing to one of the three gangs and four societies of Chang Ning Prefecture in less than thirty years. Apart from Sha Feiying's strength, Dong Chengwu's rules also played an important role.
Everyone in the Flying-eagle Gang, including Sha Feiying, came from an unorthodox background. Only Dong Chengwu came from Xiangxi's Godly Saber Sect, which was a genuine martial arts sect.
Because of this, Dong Chengwu valued the rules more than Sha Feiying and the others.
The hierarchy of superiors and subordinates, laws and regulations, these were the rules!
And now, Su Xin had violated his rules more than once!
Last time, Su Xin had disobeyed the gang's orders and tried to assassinate Dai Chong. This had already made Dong Chengwu very angry.
And now, Su Xin's actions were a direct challenge to his dignity as the Disciplinary Hall's Hallmaster!
Dong Chengwu suddenly slashed out with his Big Ring Saber. It was as tall as half a man, and it tore through the sky like a tornado. Its imposing manner was unparalleled, and it was incomparably fierce!
Su Xin quickly retreated. He didn't have his heavy sword by his side. Even if he used the Great Sumeru Sword Style, he still wouldn't be able to block this fierce and overbearing saber.
Li Bo's figure was like a ghost. He displayed the Bixie Swordsmanship, and a biting cold sword-light sprinkled down. But Dong Chengwu's Big Ring Saber slashed horizontally, and the overbearing saber directly sent Li Bo flying!
Li Bo hadn't reached the Hou Tian primary stage, but Dong Chengwu was a Hou Tian middle stage warrior who had opened more than seventy-two acupoints. The difference in the strength of this saber was too big. Even though the Bixie Swordsmanship was fierce and strange, it couldn't withstand the absolute strength.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xin finally unsheathed the sword in his left hand, and fiercely stabbed towards Dong Chengwu's ribs. Dong Chengwu's hair stood on end as he felt a murderous intention approaching.
"Whirlwind and Clouds!"
The heavy Big Ring Saber was wielded by Dong Chengwu like a whirlwind. The surrounding tables and chairs were smashed to pieces, and Su Xin was forced to retreat.
Dong Chengwu came from a martial arts sect. His fighting style was very similar to that of Luo Zhen of the Azure Bamboo Gang. They were both the kind of fighting style that was rigid and impeccable.
At the same level, this kind of fighting style was rigid, but when Su Xin's power reached a certain level, this kind of fighting style made it impossible for Su Xin to find any openings.
Even if Dong Chengwu occasionally revealed a flaw, Su Xin would definitely not be able to catch it with his current strength.
After a few moves, Su Xin was forced into a corner, and his sword couldn't even touch Dong Chengwu's side.
"I say, Dong Chengwu, you're getting more and more capable. You're actually having fun fighting with a young boy. If you have the ability, why don't we spar?"
A mocking voice came from outside the door. Dong Chengwu put away his big ringed sword and looked back. His face immediately became gloomy.
"Lin Fuhu, what are you doing here?" Dong Chengwu asked with a cold expression.
"If you can come, why can't I?" Lin Fuhu retorted as though he was arguing.
He had been at odds with Dong Chengwu for more than a decade. He was happy to see Dong Chengwu unhappy.
"Su Xin dares to attack the boss of the gang. This is a disgraceful act. He must be killed to uphold the gang's rules! Lin Fuhu, if you want to cause trouble, pick a time. Once I kill him, I'll fight you to my heart's content! "
"What a coincidence. I won't let you kill this kid today."
Lin Fuhu spat out a mouthful of saliva and said, "What the hell is Hou Tong!? He only knows how to gamble all day and only knows how to rest on his laurels. Has he even fought once in the past few years? Even if I don't kill Su Xin, I'll still kill him if he makes me unhappy one day! "
"Lin Fuhu! What he did is not a trivial matter! It's a taboo in the gang to offend one's superiors! He must be punished according to the gang's rules! "Dong Chengwu shouted.
Lin Fuhu said with a chuckle, "So be it the gang's rules. What are you shouting for? Besides, the gang's rules are not set by you alone. Since it's a serious matter, inform the gang leader and gather all the leaders to make a decision. "
With Lin Fuhu around, Dong Chengwu knew that there was absolutely no way he could do anything to Su Xin.
Therefore, he only gave Su Xin a deep look before getting someone to take the subordinate whose hand had been maimed by Su Xin and leave.
After they left, Su Xin cupped his hands at Lin Fuhu and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Lin, for your help."
Lin Fuhu waved his hand magnanimously. "There's no need to thank me. I just can't stand the sight of that old punk. Today, I happened to see him leave the main hall with his men, so I came to take a look. I never expected to see such a good show. Kid, don't worry. When we reach the gang leader, I'll speak up for you."
"Hall Master Lin, I can't thank you enough for your great kindness." Su Xin pretended to be excited and coaxed Lin Fuhu very much.
It wasn't because Su Xin had flattered him, but because he saw Dong Chengwu suffer a setback.
The incident from more than ten years ago had offended Lin Fuhu quite badly. He even bore a grudge to this day.
To put it bluntly, Lin Fuhu was a simple-minded person with all brawn and a one-track mind.
Back then, Dong Chengwu didn't care about his reputation at all and severely punished his disciples from the Battle Hall. This made Lin Fuhu feel embarrassed for a long time. There was even a period of time when he was embarrassed to show his face in front of his subordinates.
This was a great humiliation to Lin Fuhu. It was enough for him to bear a grudge for the rest of his life.
Although he had sent Dong Chengwu away, the matter wasn't over yet. Whether Su Xin was right or wrong still had to be decided by the gang leader. Even Lin Fuhu didn't dare make a rash decision on this point.
Therefore, Lin Fuhu brought Su Xin and the others and Master Hu San to the main hall. Dong Chengwu, who had returned long ago, had already gathered Sha Feiying and the other gang leaders.
When they saw Su Xin and the others enter the main hall, the other gang leaders had strange looks in their eyes.
This Su Xin really wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. It had only been a few months, and he had gathered everyone for a meeting because of him.
"Su Xin has offended his superiors and violated the gang rules. He should be punished with death! Gang leader, please take all of Su Xin's territories and kill him on the spot! "Dong Chengwu said sternly.
Lin Fuhu sneered and said, "There has to be a reason for offending his superiors, right? I heard that Hou Tong came to Merry Forest to cause trouble first. "
"Regardless of the reason, he should be killed for offending his superiors!"
"Who do you think you are? You can kill him just because you want to?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Sha Feiying coughed twice. The two of them immediately shut up.
"What is everyone's opinion on this matter?" Sha Feiying looked at the gang leaders below.
These people looked left and right, but they were all silent.
After all, they had taken ten thousand taels of silver from Su Xin. They wouldn't speak up for Su Xin, but they could still remain silent.
Moreover, they had enough of Hou Tong, especially the few gang leaders who were closer to Hou Tong's territory. They were also the ones who had been harassed the most by Hou Tong.
Now that Su Xin had finally resolved the problem, they even wanted to thank Su Xin.
Dong Chengwu's face darkened. Why did these people suddenly change their temperament?
In the past, when something like this happened, these people loved to mock and ridicule and add insult to injury. Why didn't they say anything now?
Su Xin didn't have any expression on his face, but he looked at Master Hu San.
Feeling Su Xin's gaze, Master Hu San gritted his teeth and said, "Gang leader, I have something to say."
The others all looked at Master Hu San, and some looked at Su Xin with helpless expressions.
If your godfather wants to cheat you, we can't do anything about it. A hundred thousand taels of silver can only buy us not to say anything. If you want us to speak up for you, there's no way.
Dong Chengwu also let out a sigh of relief.
Master Hu San was Su Xin's godfather. If he also spoke up to punish Su Xin, it would be more effective than the other three gang leaders.
"Gang leader, actually, you can't blame Su Xin for killing Hou Tong. I asked him to kill him. Hou Tong really went overboard!
Su Xin used his own strength to take down Yongle Road. Some people were envious and wanted a share of the profits.
Hou Tong personally came to me to ask for a million taels of silver. I directly rejected him, so he bullied the weak and prepared to use his status to ask Su Xin for it.
In a fit of anger, I told Su Xin not to hold back and to directly kill that bastard Hou Tong!
I was the one who ordered this. It has nothing to do with my godson, Su Xin.
He took down Yongle Road, so he should become a gang leader and not be punished by the gang rules like he is now. "
The group of people were instantly dumbfounded. They looked at Master Hu San as if they were looking at a madman.
What was he doing? He promoted Su Xin to the position of the team leader and took the crime of killing Hou Tong himself. Was this still the scheming and ruthless Hu Laosan they knew?
Dong Chengwu's face was full of disbelief. Sha Feiying looked deeply at Su Xin.
He had been with Master Hu San and the others for decades. He wouldn't believe that Master Hu San was the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.
Dong Chengwu slammed the table. "Hu San! Do you know what you are saying? Even if you are a gang leader, you can't take the blame for this!
According to the gang rules, your subordinates' territories will all be handed over to the gang. Your subordinates will all be handed over to the other gang leaders! "
Master Hu San secretly revealed a bitter smile. "I know, but I did this."
Dong Chengwu looked at Master Hu San in confusion. What did Su Xin have on him that made him ignore the punishment of losing all his territories and protect Su Xin?
The other gang leaders looked at Master Hu San with even more strange gazes.
The matter between Master Hu San and his godson, Su Xin, had already reached their ears when Tang Taihe was crippled.
At that time, they even laughed at Master Hu San, saying that he raised a tiger and brought trouble to himself. He raised two godsons consecutively, but they both became trouble.
Later, Su Xin directly skipped over Master Hu San and handed over the money to the gang. This was practically a public slap in Master Hu San's face and made the conflict public.
The two of them were already like fire and water. Now, Master Hu San was willing to give up his own territory to help Su Xin take the blame. If there was nothing fishy about this, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.
At this time, Sha Feiying said, "No matter what, you have to give the gang an explanation for killing the gang leader. I will give you a chance now. Tell me."
Su Xin raised his head and looked at Sha Feiying. He said calmly, "I am still young, I am capable, and I have made contributions to the gang."
