Chapter 69: Puppet Sect Master

  "Bang - splash!"

  A fine celadon glazed bowl was smashed to the ground, its sparkling shards spinning on the floor, sliding out how far along the tiles!

  Xie Mujiang sat in the main hall's chair, his body slightly trembling with rage. Originally a pair of Qinghua porcelain covered bowls were beside him, but now only one remained, the other having been smashed to the ground by Xie Mujiang's furious outburst!

  The door creaked open, and a young man walked in from outside. He looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, then turned to Xie Mujiang and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? How did your favorite Qianlong imperial porcelain vase get smashed?"

  Xie Mujiang's eight-character beard was trembling, his chest heaving up and down. He pointed outside the house with his hand, "This Zhang Ermazi is getting more and more disrespectful to me, your father! I've told him countless times that the villagers at the foot of the mountain are not easy to bully, but he just won't listen. And now he's brought people down from the mountain again, I reckon several nearby villages will be affected!"

  "This Zhang Ermao, sooner or later I must get rid of him!" The young man gritted his teeth and grasped the twin guns at his waist, with an angry look.

  Xie Mujiang waved his hand at him and said, "Forget it, kid. Now that there are over a hundred people in the mountain village, except for you and those twenty or so old folks who are on my side, everyone else has already been bought off by him! If you take action, aren't you just rushing to your own death?"

  The young man also fell silent after hearing this!

  Xie Mujiang was right, now the whole Hu Xiaoling, Zhang Ermazi has already covered the sky with one hand. If it weren't for a group of old people who followed Xie Mujiang when Hu Xiaoling first started, and he was worried that killing Xie Mujiang would chill the hearts of his subordinates, he might have made his move long ago!

  However, as Zhang Ermao's power grew stronger and stronger, his intention to seize power became more and more obvious, which made Xie Mujiang secretly worried!

  He also wanted to take advantage of Zhang Ermao's descent from the mountain to secretly take action and regain control of the stronghold, but every time Zhang Ermao went down the mountain, he would leave behind some trusted followers, nominally to watch the house, but actually to monitor and guard against Xie Mujiang.

  Just like this time, Zhang Ermao went down the mountain to plunder, and 40 or 50 of his men were left in the stronghold to keep a close eye on Xie Mujiang and his men, who didn't even have a chance to make a move!

  For such a situation, Xie Mujiang was also helpless. He was old and had nothing to regret even if he died, but his adopted son Chu Yifei made him worried, fearing that Zhang Ermao's poisonous hand would ruin him in the future.

  In the dark, he had also advised Chu Yifei several times, hoping that he would go down the mountain and leave Hu Xiaoling to avoid Zhang Ermao's poisonous hand, but Chu Yifei refused. He refused to leave him.

  In the end, he was also helpless and had no choice but to let Chu Yifei leave!

  The two of them were in the house with worried expressions, neither of whom could think of a good solution.

  Just then, a girl's scream suddenly came from outside the house, followed by struggling and crying sounds, which penetrated into the room through the tightly closed window!

  Chu Yunfei, who was standing beside Xie Muzhang, heard this and his eyebrows immediately rose. He took a step forward, wanting to rush out, but was stopped by Xie Muzhang, "Child, come back!"

  "Uncle, those beasts are bullying Xiao Cui again! I can't just stand by and do nothing!" Chu Yifei's face turned bright red as he almost shouted, pointing in the direction of the sound, "Listen, she's crying for help! Can you really ignore it?"

  "Son, we can't afford to offend them, so let's just endure it for now. Besides, Xiaocui is just a servant girl, not worth fighting with others over!" Xie Mujiang sighed and his eight-shaped beard moved slightly as he closed his eyes.

  Chu Yifei was so angry that he panted heavily, pacing back and forth in the house several times before finally turning to Xie Mujiang and saying, "Uncle, please forgive me for disobeying you this once. I must save this person!" With that, he strode to the door, flung it open with a creak, and rushed out.

  "Ah——this kid!" Xie Mujiang suddenly opened his eyes, stretching out his arm as if to grab hold of Chu Yifei, but in the end could only watch as Chu Yifei rushed out like a whirlwind.

  With a loud slap on the table, Xie Mujiang stood up from the edge of the table, reached out to take his gun from the wall, and then shouted towards the door, "Old Sun, call those few guys up, it seems like we can't have a peaceful day today!"

  …………

  Bang!

  With a swing of his right hand, Chu Yi Fei slammed the gun handle heavily onto the opponent's head, then let go and allowed him to fall to the ground. Immediately after, he kicked another bandit in the abdomen with one foot, kicking him backward until he crashed into the door!

  The wooden door couldn't withstand such a great force, and with a crash, half of it fell down, revealing the scene inside: A young man wearing a leather trench coat was pinning a girl to the table, his hands violently tearing at her clothes.

  A sudden loud noise from behind startled the man, his hands momentarily stopped in mid-air, he hastily turned around to look, but before he could see anything clearly, he was slapped in the face and sent tumbling to the ground!

  This little guy is not ordinary either. As his body rolled over, the pistol at his waist was drawn out and pointed directly at Chu Yifei who was pouncing on him!

  "Hey!"

  Chu Yi Fei saw the little guy raise his pistol at a glance, and his right foot flew up swiftly to kick the wrist of the hand holding the gun, kicking the pistol flying out, and immediately followed by grabbing him!

  Just then, more than a dozen bandits rushed in from outside the house, all holding handguns or rifles, and aimed at Chu Yifei who was about to throw a punch. "Kid, don't move!"

  Chu Yifei's raised hand stopped in mid-air, and the little guy he had pressed down on suddenly flipped over, grabbed a wooden stool and smashed it onto his back!

  With a loud crash, the wooden stool shattered into pieces, and Chu Yifei also fell to the ground with a thud, feeling as if his internal organs had been turned upside down, his chest was suffocating him to death!

  "Get this kid out of here!"

  With a loud shout, Chu Yifei was lifted up from the ground by two bandits and taken to the young master.

  "You little rabbit, you've grown bold, dare to hit your old man? Are you some kind of young master or something? Haha!" With both hands grasping Chu Yifei's shoulders, one knee struck his abdomen, causing him to double over in pain. However, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound!

  "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Chu Yifei was furious, glaring at him. The kid cursed back with a bad attitude, then another big slap on the ear, making Chu Yifei's head spin violently.

  Chu Yifei slowly turned his head back, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "I spit on you!"

  The bloody saliva accurately landed on the little guy's face, making him furious. He grabbed his gun and pressed it against Chu Yifei's forehead, "Do you believe I'll blow your brains out right now?"
