Chang'an, Shaanxi branch of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
The bright moon hangs high, the lights are bright, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going in the hall, everyone's footsteps are hurried and their expressions are serious.
Wang Cheng, the leader of the Qing Banner, sat alone in the inner hall, holding a collection of novels and watching quietly.
Every year before the Dragon Boat Festival, the flag owners from all over the country rush to Heimu Cliff to report the year's work to the leader. At the same time, they hand over various income to the main church, and then the main leader reassigns tasks.
Of course, some people have to kneel down and beg the leader for a year's worth of antidote to the Three Corpses Brain Pill.
Therefore, when the flag master Wang Cheng was about to set off, the disciples of the branch naturally had to sort out the details of various affairs as soon as possible and report them to the flag master, who would then report to Heimu Cliff.
The busyness in the hall did not disturb Wang Cheng's calm mood. In fact, he was in a very happy mood.
The leader of the cult, Dongfang Bubai, has not been too meddlesome lately, and has gradually handed over the affairs of the cult to Yang Lianting, the general manager of the cult. However, Yang Lianting, the leader of the cult, looks tall and mighty with a curly beard, but is actually a greedy man who only cares about money. Wang
Cheng had secretly opened up the door a long time ago and gave him ten thousand taels of silver and a dozen pieces of rare ancient jade.
Yang Lianting was happy to use money to do things. He had already promised him that after the Dragon Boat Festival, he could be promoted to the chief helm and assume the position of elder.
Therefore, the disciples in the branch were working hard to calculate the annual work report, but he, the person in charge, had free time.
"We can finally get rid of the whirlpool that is Shaanxi." Wang Cheng thought to himself.
For the Sun Moon God Sect, the Shaanxi branch has been the most profitable and stable place in the past twenty years. Due to the weakening strength of the Huashan sect, it is unable to suppress the entire Shaanxi territory. The various banner leaders of the Shaanxi branch have continued to expand their power.
, can basically control the underworld and collect various benefits like other provinces.
But in the past year, the Shaanxi Branch of the Sun Moon God Sect has felt great pressure. The gangs in various places under its control have been continuously attacked. From time to time, the head of a gang leader has been cut off and hung at the door of the Shaanxi branch of the God's Sect.
The forces were also forced to retreat continuously.
One or two is fine, but ten or eight is worrying.
Needless to say, this must have been done by the Huashan sect.
For more than a hundred years, the underground forces in Shaanxi have been controlled by the Huashan Sect. It was not until the decline of Huashan more than 20 years ago that the divine sect had the opportunity to develop in Shaanxi.
Even a year ago, the Huashan Sect was just a mom-and-pop shop run by Yue Buqun, with about thirty disciples. It was not important enough to suppress the situation, and its power could only shrink at the foot of Huashan Mountain.
Who would have thought that in just one year, they would suddenly attack the underground forces in Shaanxi with great fanfare?
They currently have not set their sights on the Shaanxi branch of the Shen Cult. It is very likely that they are not fully prepared yet, so they have not faced off against the Shen Cult's main force in Shaanxi.
But with the continuous development of Huashan Sect, this day will come sooner or later.
It's not that the Shaanxi branch has never thought about counterattack. In fact, they have never stopped testing the Huashan sect. Wang Cheng himself arranged for no less than three groups of spies to enter Huashan. Among them was a first-class master whose martial arts was not weaker than him.
, but the result is the same, everyone disappears silently, as if these people have never existed in the world.
This shows that the hidden strength of the Huashan Sect is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.
Therefore, the first thing Wang Cheng did when he was promoted to the banner leader was to continuously send gold and silver to Heimuya, hoping that he could reach the top and escape from the whirlpool of Shaanxi.
As for what kind of situation the Shaanxi branch will encounter after he is promoted to Heimuya, it has nothing to do with Wang Cheng.
After he is promoted, he will not care about the floods!
He, Wang Cheng, just wants to be promoted and make a fortune.
While he was thinking about it, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Wang Cheng looked sideways and frowned: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Wenlong, the incense master in charge of Fengxiang, hurriedly entered the lobby and said with a strange expression: "Altar Master, there is news from Fengxiang that the Iron Spear will be attacked by the Broadsword Gang, the president Tong Kai has lost his head, and more than a dozen capable people have been killed.
, the Iron Gun Club is gone."
"Will the iron gun be gone? How dare this big sword gang be so arrogant?" Wang Cheng was furious.
He was afraid of the Huashan sect, so he did not dare to set foot in the Weinan area, but Fengxiang was west of Chang'an, and the Iron Gun Club was an affiliated gang of the Shaanxi branch. They paid tens of thousands of taels of silver every year and were the core subordinates of the Shaanxi branch. Now they are
Duan, of course this made him furious!
A mere big sword gang actually stroked the beard of the tiger from the God Sect!
It should be destroyed!
The Iron Gun Club is a big gang in Fengxiang Mansion, it designs casinos, brothels, and loan sharking businesses. It was the religious cult that followed Wang Cheng's path and paid him a lot of tribute.
"This Tong Kai's martial arts is not weak, and his elite men are even more daring to fight. Therefore, they have been standing in Fengxiang for five years, and they were destroyed in one day. It seems that this big sword gang must have been planning for a long time!"
Zhou Wenlong analyzed.
"What does a mere conspiracy mean in front of the divine religion?" Wang Cheng snorted coldly.
"Flag Master, we must handle this matter as soon as possible."
Zhou Wenlong said: "This Iron Spear is our inner gang. Once it is destroyed, we must send someone to take charge of the matter, otherwise others will laugh at us for not being able to protect the brothers below!"
He is Wang Cheng's best confidant, so Wang Cheng naturally wants to agree, nodding and saying: "That's right, let me..."
Before he finished speaking, another burst of footsteps came. Wang Cheng looked up and saw several incense masters in charge of the Pingliang Mansion in Gongchang, Hanzhong, walking in hurriedly, all with anxious expressions on their faces.
Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came over him. He didn't wait for others to speak, and said, "Speak one by one."
Hanzhong Incense Master Zhao Yu: "Flag Master, Hanzhong Black Tiger Hall was attacked..."
Gongchangxiang Master Chen: "Flag Master, the Gongchang White Horse Gang has been destroyed..."
Ma Dahai, the leader of Pingliang Xiang: "The leader of the flag, the elite of the Helan Clan in Pingliang Mansion were killed, and only the sect Zhang Tong escaped."
"What!" Wang Cheng exclaimed, then glanced at Zhou Wenlong.
Almost at the same time, several subordinate gangs of the Shaanxi branch were attacked. There must be a big conspiracy involved.
Just like this year, the heads of subordinate gang leaders have been hanging at the door of the Shaanxi branch.
"Huashan faction!" Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Immediately summon the brothers from the Divine Sect to investigate inside and outside Chang'an Mansion and find the few brats from the Huashan Sect for me."
Wang Cheng ordered.
"Yes! Flag Master!" Several incense owners responded loudly.
It took just a while for everyone to figure it out.
In the entire Shaanxi territory, the Huashan sect is the only one capable of dealing with the subordinate gangs of the Shaanxi branch of the Sun Moon God Sect.
Although the Huashan sect has been weak for many years, it has a deep foundation after all. Over the past year, it has continuously provoked the gangs under the Shaanxi branch. Now it has picked up several gangs in one go. The next step is to cultivate its own power to intervene in related industry interests.
So at this moment, they must have spies in Chang'an who are keeping an eye on the Shaanxi branch of the Divine Sect. If the Divine Sect wants to fight back, they must first capture these people, otherwise they may lead them by the nose.
This principle should be taken for granted. Just now, everyone did not think of it because of impatience. Now, after being reminded by Wang Cheng, they immediately reacted.
"Master Wang Banner is really smart and immediately thought of the crux of the problem, but I'm afraid it's too late."
A plain voice came and entered the ears of all the members of the branch, as if it was far away in the horizon, but also seemed to be close to their ears.
