Chapter 75 Underground Meeting? We've been waiting for you! [Second Update!]

Shangyang.

Meng Lou.

The former prosperity is gone; the five buildings that were once built are now just as deserted as they were originally.

Peng Dingqiu eventually accepted Old Wu's suggestion and divided Menglou's talents into five parts to open several new restaurants.

Only one of them is located in Shangyang City.

He got scared, so he gave it away and planned to set up the other four in other places.

This night.

Peng Dingqiu once again convened five senior executives—Cai Lao, Shen Ye, Hong Gu, Hua Jie, and Hei Gui—to discuss the location and positioning of the new restaurant.

Old Cai worried: "The outside world speculates that the force secretly targeting my Menglou is not actually the Green Bamboo Gang, but most likely the 'underground society' that is trying to overthrow the Lei family. If we are indeed being targeted by the underground society, I'm afraid the new business will also be doomed."

The black man shouted, "Old man Cai, why boost others' morale and diminish our own?"

But the other four remained silent.

The Lei family's affair had caused such a big stir, and since they were all in Shangyang City, they were naturally well aware of it.

Post-event review.

Compare carefully.

You'll find that the methods used to deal with Meng Lou and the Lei family are remarkably similar!
It was also in Shangyang City.

It's been the same few months.

Same location.

The time is the same.

So many coincidences and similarities are enough to make a connection.

And so, I became even more afraid.

Even the powerful Lei family couldn't defeat the underground society, so what merit or ability does Meng Lou possess?
Sister Hua suggested, "Why don't we leave Shangyang Prefecture, leave Jiujiang Province, and start over somewhere else?"

Can't beat it.

Is running away not enough?

But Peng Dingqiu was not about to give up: "I'm not leaving!"

He still held a sliver of hope: "If it really is that underground society targeting me, Meng Lou, why not wipe out the Lei family in one fell swoop and destroy me, Meng Lou, as well?"

That means it's not true!

Moreover, the problem now is not whether they want to leave or not, but whether they can leave or not.

"Perhaps it really is that underground organization targeting Meng Lou."

"Maybe not."

"But that's not important. What's important is that the entire Shangyang Prefecture, and even those above it, believe that the underworld is targeting Meng Lou, and they firmly believe that after dealing with the Lei family, the underworld will have time to deal with Meng Lou as well."

"now."

“I am locked in Menglou. Whether I leave or not is not up to me.”

Peng Dingqiu gave a wry smile.

How could he not know that he and Meng Lou had long been bait for various forces in Shangyang Prefecture, and even later for major forces such as the Golden Crow Sect and the Six Doors, to lure them into an underground meeting?

The fish haven't taken the bait yet.

How can the bait go first?

People are in the game.

Involuntarily.

Nothing more than that.

……

"Get things done at the Red Mansion!"

"Kill Peng Dingqiu!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

boom!
With a loud shout, dozens of people rushed into Menglou.

"This way!"

"This way!"

There were already assassins acting as moles, guiding and opening doors, allowing these Red Mansion experts to enter the meeting hall where Peng Dingqiu and others were located with ease.

In the meeting hall.

"finally come!"

Peng Dingqiu, holding a longsword, frowned as he stared at the newcomer: "Who goes there! State your name!"

His response was a sentence—

"kill!"

Han Kezhong, known as "Hundred Victories Blade," led the charge, his face covered with a black cloth and his right arm bound with a red ribbon. With his blade in hand, he charged forward with fierce courage.

"How brave!"

"court death!"

The two top masters of Menglou, Master Shen and Black Ghost, stepped forward together. Both of them were wielding knives, which were the most common weapons in the martial arts world, accounting for 80-90% of all weapons.

It is short and easy to carry.

It is strong and can give full play to its strength.

The two men made their move, intending to kill.

But they only realized how tricky it was once they clashed with it.

"careful!"

"This is a master!"

The two of them, even working together, failed to subdue the man. Instead, the clanging of their blades against each other caused a tingling sensation in the man's hands.

powerful!
The opponent is very strong!

Black Ghost noticed that several nicks had appeared on his own blade, and when he looked at the other's blade, he felt a surge of energy.

This is clearly a sign of the fifth stage of releasing external power.

"A fifth-tier expert!"

Legend has it that mastering martial arts is difficult, especially reaching the fifth level, and those at the fifth level are invincible. Seeing this today, I can confirm its reputation is well-deserved.

Han Kezhong fought two opponents alone and surprisingly held his own.

However, it was only for a very short time.

After a few exchanges, the other masters from the Dream of the Red Chamber caught up, all dressed in the same manner.

Black face mask!
Red ribbon!
They are all experts.

They swarmed forward and a chaotic battle ensued.

It’s time.

"finally come!"

Outside Menglou, Lieutenant General Yu Zheng saw the commotion and was overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered, "Seal off all alleyways and block all culverts."

He also ordered people to guard many pottery urns at all times. These urns had a capacity of about 80 liters and their mouths were covered with leather. If someone was digging a tunnel, the urns would make a 'buzzing' sound. Moreover, the location and distance of the enemy could be determined by the volume, pitch, and duration of the sound, so that countermeasures such as burning, smoking, and water can be taken in time.

Yu Zheng had long ago thoroughly studied the tactics of the "underground meeting" and formulated a comprehensive set of countermeasures, all of which included methods to counter and restrain them.

"This time, we must wipe out this band of thieves in one fell swoop!"

Yu Zheng personally led a contingent of elite troops to Menglou.

Not just Yu Zheng.

These days, far too many people are keeping a close eye on Meng Lou—

Fine Rain Pavilion.

Six doors.

Golden Crow School.

Beggars gang.

Experts from various factions gathered and, upon hearing the news, rushed forward in unison.

Not only Meng Lou, but also other experts have come to attack.

There are also hidden masters lurking in Menglou.

At this moment, they suddenly appeared—

"What a thief!"

"Your opponent is me!"

One man raised his sword to block Han Kezhong, the "Hundred Victories Sword". Clang clang clang, in just a few moves, he actually managed to suppress Han Kezhong completely.

Han Kezhong's expression changed; Meng Lou actually had such a top-notch expert hidden away!

The big thing is bad!

After a brief entanglement—

"Ghost Shadow Blade!"

"You are Lü Renkan!"

Han Kezhong was greatly alarmed.

He recognized the man's style; it was clearly Lü Renkan, a renowned figure in the Lü family for decades. He wielded his knife with unpredictable movements, his manner as elusive as a ghost, earning him the nickname "Ghost Shadow Blade" in the martial world. He had not appeared in the martial world for many years, but unexpectedly, he showed up here today.

Let's look at this person's skills—

Long-lasting strength.

Like a galloping horse.

This is--

"Six stages!"

"The internal organs are extremely strong!"

Han Kezhong's expression changed drastically.

He wanted to escape.

But there's no escaping it!
"The Hundred Victories Blade!"

"Han Kezhong!"

"Oh it's you!"

Lu Renkan was ruthless and vicious, his every strike a critical blow; only heaven knows how much he hated the 'underground society'.

From July to August, in just two short months, the vast Lü family was turned upside down by the underground society, which extorted countless amounts of gold, silver, and precious meat, and subjected them to the most humiliating treatment.

He, a top-tier martial arts master, was verbally abused by a lowly envoy from the Underworld.

No dignity.

Extremely humiliating.

He had been patient and biding his time until today, when he finally got his chance and saw a real top expert in the underground society.

Hundred Victory Knife!

Han Kezhong!
'Taking down this man will surely uncover more secrets hidden underground.'

The answer!

"Unveil it soon!"

Lu Renkan suddenly rose up and unleashed his full power without holding back.

Look again.

Also present were Fu Jianxun, head of the Fu family; Gui Songzi, head of the Danyang Sect; Sha Tongtian, head of the Tongtian Sect; and Chen Mian, head of the Tieshen Sect.

These individuals were either heads of families or leaders of sects, and were at least at the fifth level. Among them, Sha Tongtian had already taken a crucial step and achieved the sixth stage, with his internal organs at their peak.

Dangerous!
Dangerous!
Dangerous!
Two families and three factions betrayed them, and not only did the fifth and sixth-level leaders arrive, but they also hid nearly a hundred third and fourth-level experts in Menglou, who had been lying in wait for two months.

They attacked all at once, instantly holding back more than a hundred masters from the Red Mansion.

It's not certain that they can kill them all, or even that they can leave them all alive.

But no problem.

There are other experts besides Meng Lou, who are rushing to provide support.

"Tonight!"

"It's the time of death for the underworld!"
