Chapter 197 The Haisha Gang rushed forward, can Xu Gongming still pick us?

Chapter 197: Thousands of people from the Haisha Gang rushed forward, can Xu Gongming still pick us?
Xu Qing stayed overnight at Madam Haisha's villa, and then took a boat to the headquarters of the Haisha Gang. This was an island, much larger than Madam Haisha's villa, and heavily guarded.

Xu Qing brought only Su Lianqing, a maid, to the island under the guidance of Madam Haisha. The layout in front of them was a natural formation. Although it was not as mysterious as Longhu Mountain, it was not ordinary.

Seen from a distance, the buildings on the island have winding corridors and high eaves; each building is built according to the terrain, and they are full of intrigue.

If you go slightly wrong, you may lose your way and need someone to guide you to get out.

Xu Qing had learned from Mrs. Haisha that her father had once asked a strange man to create this unique formation on the island, and its origin could even be traced back to Wu Hou's Eight Diagrams.

As he stepped in, Xu Qing could clearly sense that there was an invisible murderous formation covering the island and affecting his soul.

He was calm and showed no fear at all.

On the other side, Madam Haisha stepped forward to report on behalf of Xu Qing, and the news quickly spread to the meeting hall of the Haisha Gang's headquarters.

Although the elders and hall masters heard that Xu Qing had arrived at Madam Haisha's villa, they did not expect Xu Qing to come so soon.

They suddenly became nervous.

A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Xu Gongming has had an impressive record since his debut.

Although Elder Liang had given a guarantee before, when the real person arrived in front of him, fear suddenly arose.

Elder Liang had already boasted before, so there was no reason for him to admit defeat. He asked the doorman who came into the meeting hall to report the news, and learned that Xu Qing only brought a maid. He laughed and said, "This Xu Gongming is young and successful, so it is inevitable that he is arrogant. No matter how powerful he is, with thousands of people from our headquarters rushing towards him, how can he defeat us? Everyone, let's get out."

Although he said this, he became more fearful in his heart. He placed his mind and soul on the flags of the formation, ready to set up the formation at any time.

Although Xu Gongming could not deal with thousands of people rushing towards him, he might be able to kill the enemy leader.

The elders and hall masters opened the middle door and went out to greet him. They saw a young man with a tall stature, a broad forehead, long hands and feet, and most importantly, his temperament was not as rough as that of ordinary warriors.

"My dear uncles and brothers, this is Xu Jieyuan, Xu Gongming from Nanzhili," Mrs. Haisha introduced.

The word "Jieyuan" was like a mountain pressing down on their heads, causing many gang members to feel inferior.

They go out to sea to beg for food, but their roots are still on land.

The provincial scholars were all stars from heaven, let alone the top scholar in Nanzhili.

Nowadays, you can only tell who is better at martial arts by fighting. And if you lose, the opponent may not admit it. He may say that the ground was too slippery, he didn’t eat enough today, or he was sick, etc.

The excuses are one after another.

But in the imperial examination, one is one and two is two.

Southeast China has always been a place of great cultural diversity, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and was the place of royal power in the past. The top candidates from this place naturally have extraordinary reputation.

All of you elders and hall masters have some inferiority complex.

He has a bright future ahead of him.

They are the ones who eat the fruit, while others are destined to share the fruit.

No comparison!
Madam Haisha emphasized the status of Jieyuan for another purpose. If you mess around and kill Mr. Xu, it means you killed a juren of the imperial court, or Jieyuan.

Doing it in private and doing it in front of many people are two different things.

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "Today I am here to resolve the disputes in your gang. Regardless of the rules of officialdom, you don't need to greet each other. Let's follow the rules of the underworld."

As soon as he said this, everyone remembered that he was a juren and an official, while most of them were commoners.

The elders and hall masters do not have much influence. Ordinary gang members can act arrogantly on weekdays, but they would never dare to kill officials and rebel.

After all, the Great Yu Dynasty has not yet perished, and it still has the power it should have in the hearts of ordinary people.

In fact, even when the world is in chaos, the officials of the imperial court will still have a certain prestige among ordinary people. If they are brave enough, they can gather a group of people by raising their arms.

What's more, while Xu Qing was speaking, he secretly used thunder sound to shock the soul.

After all, he always acted cautiously, so even if the little snake of luck did not show any dangerous signs, he still did not take it lightly.

First, intimidate these ordinary gang members, and then you can face these guys freely.

The elders and hall masters then stepped forward to greet him and politely invited Xu Qing in.

When they arrived at the headquarters, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In their own territory, they suddenly felt that the pressure from Xu Qing was much less.

What a dragon crossing the river, it's just a snake when it comes.

When Xu Qing entered the headquarters, he clearly felt that there were many secret eyes on him, and there was murderous intent at every step.

The secret sentry of the Haisha Gang is quite famous.

But that's about it.

He didn't take it seriously at all.

Mrs. Haisha observed secretly, feeling more and more relieved.

Su Lianqing adopted an observation attitude and did more learning.

When the young master starts a rebellion in the future, the rules of the mansion must not be any worse than those of the Haisha Gang. She is now the chief steward of the palace, and making preparations in advance is the best way to govern the country.

Even if you are transferred later, this information can be left to your successor.

Entering the meeting hall, an elder said, "Come, serve Xu Jieyuan some refreshments."

Someone brought tea and snacks.

The tea was boiling hot, similar to what Mrs. Haisha's daughter had done yesterday, an appetizer tea, a show of power. I guess the little girl also learned it from the gang.

But the dessert was not ordinary, it was peach.

It's not an ordinary peach, it's a peach cast from molten iron.

The elder drank the appetizer tea first, picked up an iron peach, and said with a smile: "Xu Jieyuan dislikes this peach because it is not delicious?"

He opened his mouth, revealing his sharp steel teeth, picked up an iron peach and stuffed it into his mouth. I don't know how he managed to bite off a piece of the iron peach.

"Iron chewing technique!" Su Lianqing was slightly surprised.

Xu Qing didn't drink the tea. He picked up the iron peach and smiled slightly: "Xu likes to eat hard and crisp peaches all his life. This peach is too soft."

I saw a whole iron peach being squeezed out of Xu Qing's hand like mud and sand.

"Gripping iron turns it into mud!" Everyone in the hall was horrified.

This was also the case before Xu Qing came here, when he comprehended the Dao of Alchemy, and his burst of Qi and blood and control over the innate Qi had reached a new level.

It can be said that with his state of being possessed by spirit and soul, controlling qi and blood, and instantaneous bursts of power, are not much different from those of a martial arts master, except that he is not as durable as others, and his power is continuous and without flaws.

The iron chewing technique combined with steel teeth is actually a trick. How can it be compared with Xu Qing's skill of turning iron into mud?

If such a force were to hit someone, even a martial artist with good bone training would be turned into a pool of meat paste.

"This man is so young, could it be that he has already mastered martial arts?"

"I heard that he is not even eighteen years old yet. Even heroes like Xiong Channa, the abbot of the Great Zen Temple, may not have such martial arts skills at this age."

Xu Qing didn't use any Taoist magic, but just relied on his skill of turning iron into mud to intimidate the elders and hall master of the Haisha Gang.

After all, magical arts and Taoist skills rely more on the right time and place, with a high upper limit but a low lower limit. But martial arts are not picky about the environment.

We are so close, I will do whatever you want.

The elder who had mastered the art of chewing iron turned black-faced and ordered someone to take the thing away.

In the past, anyone who came to visit the Haisha Gang, no matter how famous he was in the underworld, would be shocked by his kung fu. But today, he became a complete clown, his dignity was shattered, and his integrity was ruined.

However, this trick is worth learning. After returning, I will study it to see if there are any new props that can achieve similar effects.

When people get old, they can no longer fight, and their disciples and descendants are unreliable, so they can only resort to crooked ways.

All for the sake of making a living!
Xu Qing then sat down on the main seat without hesitation. He smiled and said, "If I don't sit on this main seat, it will be a disgrace to the court. For the sake of the overall situation, I have no choice but to sit down. I hope no one objects to what I say."

He glanced around at everyone.

Some people wanted to object, but when they saw the iron mud on the ground, they were speechless.

Everyone had no choice but to swallow their anger and take their seats.

Xu Qing and the others sat down and said, "I heard that you are planning to elect a new leader. This is a good thing. I have a lot of business dealings with your gang. Your gang's affairs involve my money. As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents. You don't want to have an irreconcilable feud with me, do you?"

He spoke gently and looked at everyone.

Everyone suddenly became very quiet.

They wanted to object but did not dare to speak up, so they all turned their eyes to Elder Liang.

This elder who was born as a ginseng collector had a demonic aura all over his body and it was hard to tell his age. Seeing that everyone was putting pressure on him, he could not back down. Relying on the fact that he was the spokesperson of the Black Mountain Old Immortal in the Middle Earth, he said, "I am a subordinate of the Black Mountain Old Immortal of the Seven Killings Palace in Changbaisha..."

Xu Qing waved his hand and said impatiently: "Xu has a bad memory and can't remember so many things. Do you want to learn from Xu Qing?"

Elder Liang was interrupted by Xu Qing and became furious. "Xu Gongming, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. The Haisha Gang is not yours. Since you said you want to follow the rules of the underworld, I will set up a formation. If you can break it, you can have the final say in the affairs of this gang."

Xu Qing smiled coldly: "Okay, I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to Taoist magic."

As he spoke, five demon gods suddenly rose up from his body.

For a moment, the meeting hall seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​blood. The terrifying power even overshadowed the murderous intent of the headquarters formation.

The power of these five demon gods flashed and disappeared.

But it left a deep impression in everyone's heart.

When everyone saw Xu Qing's kung fu that could turn iron into mud, they already felt that this man's kung fu was so strong that there was no rival for him in the Haisha Gang. They never expected that his Taoist skills were so terrifying that they were even better than martial arts. He was simply not a human.

Fortunately, this man is in the government. If he sets sail and uses his Taoist magic to gather people, it is hard to imagine how much harm he can cause. Elder Liang never thought that Xu Qing's Taoist magic would be so terrible.

This kind of power is somewhat similar to the Black Mountain Demon Lord.

However, he had obtained the Qingmu Heavenly Demon Formation taught by the old Demon Lord himself, so he was not afraid of the Soul Master.

Elder Liang came out of the meeting hall first. While the flags were being arranged, cold winds rolled in the open space outside. The shadows of the trees were heavy. A dark blue evil spirit surged out like a tide and transformed into hideous ghost heads in various shapes and forms, with bloody mouths, green faces and fangs, which was extremely terrifying.

"Xu Gongming, if you have the guts, come and break the formation."

Xu Qing came down from the main seat in the meeting hall and walked out slowly.

Step by step, there was actually a sound of thunder.

It was as if the drumbeats were stepping on the hearts of the elders and hall masters.

Xu Qing stepped into the formation calmly.

Elder Liang sneered and waved his hand, the formation closed, boundless darkness enveloped Xu Qing, and many ghost heads floated over to kill him.

Seeing this, Xu Qing waved his hand slightly, and thunder burst out from his palm.

All I could hear was ghosts howling and wolves howling.

"Palm Thunder?" Elder Liang cried out strangely, then grinned grimly, "The Black Mountain Immortal's Qingmu Heavenly Demon Formation is not afraid of your thunder magic."

Xu Qing used palm thunder to deal with the ghosts in front of him, but he was unable to break the formation. This shows that these evil spirits cannot be restrained by ordinary thunder magic.

The Black Mountain Old Demon does have some tricks.

If he had practiced the Five Thunders Method to the same level as the old Heavenly Master, he would be able to break this formation with a wave of his hand, but his current palm thunder had not reached that level.

On the surface, Xu Qing was showing palm thunder, but in fact he was extending his Sky-Repairing Hand to detect the flow of Qi in the Qingmu Heavenly Demon Formation.

After a moment, Xu Qing had a rough idea and was surprised: "This Qingmu Heavenly Demon Formation actually has 108 Yin Demons in it. The Black Mountain Old Demon's methods really cannot be underestimated."

He discovered that after Yin Mo's attack, the five great demon gods were also ready to make a move.

Xu Qing knew that if the five great demon gods were allowed to eat all the evil spirits, they might turn against him. He remained calm and used his Heaven-Repairing Tribulation Hand to detect the flow of the formation's energy, and finally found the center of the formation.

In fact, if Elder Liang's cultivation was only at the visible level, even if Xu Qing had the Heaven-Mending Tribulation Hand, he would still be disturbed by the real and illusory aura of the formation and would find it difficult to find the eye of the formation at the first time.

The center of the formation is exactly where Elder Liang is.

Xu Qingru was as clear as a ray of enlightenment, and his body was emitting golden light. This was the masculine energy and blood of the Golden Light Curse, and the surrounding demons were burned and screamed when they approached.

But in the big formation, the wind was so cold and gloomy that it was impossible to tell east, west, south, and north.

If Xu Qing had not found the center of the formation early, he still would not have been able to reach the center of the formation, let alone break the formation.

Xu Qing arrived near a cloud of black fog and said with a smile, "Old Ghost Liang, don't you know that your death is coming?"

The black mist immediately condensed into a human form, which was exactly the appearance of Elder Liang. He asked in shock, "How did you find this place?"

Then Elder Liang calmed down and said, "This is also the strongest place in this formation. No matter how powerful you are, you can never break it."

As he spoke, his whole body seemed to turn into a skinny and shriveled wooden stake. His nails were sharp and long, like steel knives, which was very scary.

When Xu Qing saw this, he knew that Elder Liang had sacrificed all his blood and energy to perform his evil magic.

"Xu Gongming, do you recognize the celestial demon body of the Black Mountain Immortal of Changbai Mountain?" Elder Liang pounced on him with his fangs and claws bared.

Xu Qing smiled faintly and waved his hand to release a blade energy.

Suddenly, there was a scream.

"Impossible!" Elder Liang shouted after screaming.

But the sword force came to kill him, and there was no logic at all.

The people outside didn't know what was going on inside the formation. They only felt that the yin energy was surging inside the formation. After a long while, the flags fell one by one.

There are a total of eighteen flags, each of which has six demon heads embroidered on it.

The battle flag fell into the air and disappeared immediately.

Elder Liang fell straight to the ground with many knife wounds on his body, while Xu Qing had empty hands and it was impossible to see where the knife was.

The elders and hall masters looked over from afar, all with expressions of horror.

"Thank you, Xu Jieyuan, for getting rid of the evil man named Liang. We have been harmed by him for a long time." The elder who had invited Xu Qing to eat the iron peach earlier hurriedly bowed to Xu Qing, his voice choked with sobs.

"Xu Jieyuan is a star from heaven who has come down to earth. He is our savior."

For a time, there was a flood of flattery and cheers.

Everyone praised Jie Yuan for his profound magical powers and great supernatural abilities.

This is a living god in this world.

Xu Qing seemed to have done something insignificant, calling Su Lianqing. The people around him moved closer, but were separated by an invisible force.

Everyone understood that this was the skill of Eighteen Falls with a Touch of Clothes.

Could it be that Xu Jieyuan was being cautious and was afraid that these people would plot against him?

Misunderstanding.

But no one dared to get close, for fear that Xu Jieyuan would misunderstand and attack them like he did to Elder Liang.

Xu Qing instructed Su Lianqing, "Now that the matter here is done, I'll leave it to you and Madam Haisha. After it's over, return to Jiangning Mansion."

"Yes." Su Lianqing.

Mrs. Haisha also thanked Xu Qing profusely. Xu Qing nodded slightly and reached the shore.

All the elders and hall masters came out to see him off, only to see Xu Jieyuan riding the wind and walking on the sea away. They all praised him endlessly and did not dare to have any other thoughts.

In this way, Madam Haisha gathered her old subordinates and, with the assistance of Su Lianqing, took control of the power.

Xu Qing left the island where the Haisha Gang's headquarters was located, returned to the mainland, and came to a secluded place. His face suddenly changed. He focused on the little snake of luck in his body, and saw that the black energy on the little snake was constantly rising. Although the speed was not fast, the rising momentum showed no sign of stopping.

His lifespan began to decrease at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"What's going on." It was the first time Xu Qing encountered such a thing. He was shocked but quickly calmed down.

"Is it related to the Black Mountain Demon?"

Xu Qing could not have imagined that such a change would happen just after he killed Elder Liang.

He has offended many people, some of whom are extremely powerful, but this is the first time such a situation has occurred.

"Is this the terrible threat from the world's number one demon?"

"Killing a lackey of his will cause me such great danger?"

Xu Qing thought, it must not be that simple.

"Is it because I used the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Sword?" Xu Qing thought of the feud between the Black Mountain Old Demon and the Xuantian Shenglong Dao.

"But the master of Chaotian Temple is the successor of Xuantian Shenglong Dao. The Black Mountain Old Demon has not come to find him for so many years."

"No, it seems that the master of Chaotian Temple has not left the capital for many years. Could this be the reason?" Xu Qing suddenly understood why the old master had never left the capital. Maybe he was afraid that the Black Mountain Demon would come to him if he left the capital. Moreover, the old master was a national teacher who was appointed by the emperor. He had the luck of the dynasty and must have the power to suppress demons and evil ways.

After all, he was just a top scholar and did not have much dynasty luck.

Seeing the black energy coming out of the little snake of luck on his body, Xu Qing knew he had to find a way.

"Fortunately, this place is only a few hundred miles away from Mount Longhu. It's you, old Taoist priest!" Xu Qing headed in the direction of Mount Longhu. As expected, the closer he got to Mount Longhu, the weaker the momentum of the rising black energy of the little snake of luck on his body became.

...

...

"Ah!" The old Taoist priest was meditating when he was suddenly troubled by a nightmare and almost went insane.

"Is my doom coming?"

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Disaster is also the fate of a cultivator; the key is whether one can overcome it.

At his age, if the calamity doesn't come, he might not even make it to the breakthrough and just die. Right now, Longhu Mountain is in a period of transition, and if he does die, the inheritance of Tianshi Mansion will probably be seriously flawed.

The old Taoist priest suddenly became worried.

He has to make some preparations in advance.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Yu Xuan's hurried footsteps, and then he regained his composure, "Yu Xuan, what's the matter that makes you so panic? Where did your usual energy-cultivation skills go?"

Yu Xuan quickly apologized, and then said: "Tianshi, Xu Jieyuan is here, and it seems that he has something important to see you about."

The old Taoist priest was delighted when he heard this.

There is no accomplished person in the Tianshi Mansion, but Xu Qing has mastered the Golden Light Curse and the Five Thunder Spell. Could it be that his ancestors have blessed him and given him a chance to arrange his funeral and even survive the calamity?

He said calmly, "Call him over."

For a moment, the old Taoist priest became unfathomable.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan hurriedly went to invite Xu Jieyuan over, and at the same time was secretly surprised, wondering if the old Taoist priest had already predicted that Xu Jieyuan would come.

So I felt even more awe in my heart.
