Among them were thug leaders who were genuinely enraged and started shouting.

There are also busybodies who jump on the bandwagon and start making noise.

Of course, there were also some shrewd individuals who suddenly realized the truth.

"I just saw it!"

"Iron Mountain's group is resting in the northwest corner. That guy's right arm has been severed by the Uchiha, so his swordsmanship is no longer a threat. Let's all go and demand an explanation!"

Suddenly, a man with a red scarf tied around his forehead waved his hand and roared with a flushed face.

It conveyed an air of resounding conviction and shared hatred of the enemy.

"Walk,"

"Let's go together and have a word!"

These words were like a hole bursting in the sky, like fish finding fresh water.

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, and the fish swarmed about.

The crowd that had gathered there immediately surged toward the direction the man in the square scarf was pointing.

However, the person who was directing the traffic subtly retreated to the outer perimeter.

After the crowds subsided, one of the underlings, unable to contain his curiosity, finally whispered in someone's ear:

"Boss, didn't Tieshan's gang already run away in a sorry state a long time ago? Why are they still here?"

There was genuine confusion in his voice, and surely he shouldn't be the only one who knew about this?

Upon hearing this, the man, whose lips still held a sinister smile, suddenly frowned and his expression became tense. After looking around and seeing that the sounds of condemning Tieshan were everywhere and no one was paying attention to their group, his tense mood gradually calmed down.

"idiot!"

In the midst of his angry outburst, he slapped one of his underlings on the head.

I really don't know what to say to you!

"How many times have I told you to use your brain more when you do things? Use your brain more!"

"I just won't listen!"

"I just won't think about it!"

"So, you'll always be relegated to being underlings!"

The gang leader, with a red scarf tied around his forehead, was berating them menacingly.

He truly didn't know how to describe the underlings who followed him.

To be honest, it's good that she didn't blurt out her questions right away, but instead knew to step back and ask me privately after the crowd had passed.

They're clever, but they couldn't even see through such a simple scheme to shift the blame.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart grew even stronger.

If he had been followed by a group of smart people, he wouldn't have ended up only able to make a living in the South District.

"Hehe, yes, yes."

"I just want to follow you, my brother, forever and be your loyal servant. I don't want anything else."

"Therefore, please enlighten me, elder brother."

The little guy, who had been scolded, put on a humble smile and echoed.

"Ah,"

"You"

Upon hearing such flattery, a satisfied look immediately appeared on the leader's face.

However, he did not explain anything directly, because it was ultimately not in line with his aura and status, and he could not lose his superior attitude.

Therefore, it only offered a vague suggestion:

"Listen carefully."

"look carefully."

“If you don’t react at all after I’ve said this much, then you’re not worthy to follow me anymore.”

After saying that, he immediately put on a cold face, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked like a confident and superior person.

Following their boss's words, the several henchmen surrounding him immediately looked towards the northwest corner.

Just listen,

"So, you're the remnant of the Iron Mountain Sect, aren't you? Today, this place will be your graveyard!!"

I see,

Under the dim moonlight, the glint of swords and the clash of blades were already visible in the woods.

In just a moment, screams filled the entire forest.

Before returning to the Land of Hot Water, reopening the situation and weakening the power of the opposing groups will allow us to gain a larger share of the spoils in the future!

You could even say it like this:

Apart from their own companions, everyone else present was as tough as iron!

"I understand, boss!"

"This is what they call standing on the sidelines and letting us, the fishermen, reap the benefits!"

After noticing the chaotic scene, one of the underlings, who had been deep in thought with a furrowed brow, suddenly realized what was going on.

"Um,"

"His comprehension isn't too bad."

"Although our strength is already quite good, it is still a bit behind the established groups that have existed for a long time."

"For every person they lose tonight in their efforts to eliminate dissidents, the gap between us will shrink in the future."

"As one side rises and the other falls, one day I will have a place in this country..."

Before the man with the red headscarf could fully express his thoughts, a sudden conversation abruptly broke the chaotic situation.

"Heh heh, they're just a bunch of rabble after all."

"Yes, they actually want to return to the Land of Hot Springs. How naive of them."

Such a sound is not considered loud.

But it seemed to carry a special kind of magic, as if whispering in everyone's ear, with an exceptionally clear sense of mockery.

"who!"

"Which blind bastard is playing tricks here?!"

"If you've got the guts, come out and have a go at me!"

The moment he appeared, he instantly stirred up the dissatisfaction of the leaders of various groups. A burly man, carrying a ferocious battle axe in both hands, roared and his eyes, which were as big as copper bells, were frantically looking around.

'call out! ’

Just then, an extremely rapid and delicate sound burst forth.

'Boom. '

Then came a soft thud.

However, it seems that such noises did not make much of a commotion in the chaos, and the shouts from various groups became increasingly louder.

"Didn't you hear what our boss said?"

"You coward who's too ashamed to show your face, come out and have a go if you dare!!"

The followers surrounding the burly man brandished their weapons wildly, their fierce gazes making them look like man-eating beasts.

Clearly, their leader's willingness to step forward and challenge them immediately made them, the underlings, feel incredibly proud.

"Eh?"

"So what if you come out?"

"However, your boss may never see this."

Suddenly, a man with a somewhat androgynous and effeminate appearance appeared on a nearby giant tree, holding an ordinary-looking umbrella in his hand.

"Can't see?"

"I think you're the one who won't see tomorrow's sun!"

Having located the source of the voice from the shadows, one of the henchmen immediately roared in anger.

However, he didn't seem to notice that his own boss, who was so close and shouting the loudest, suddenly fell silent.

"Right, boss!"

"Let's teach that blind bastard a lesson!"

He continued speaking.

But he still received no response.

All that could be heard and seen was the grotesque, cackling laughter of that bastard standing on the giant tree.

"Boss?"

This time, he finally panicked a little, his gaze shifted away, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

But such a call seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss, without causing the slightest ripple.

As for their own leader's imposing figure still standing tall in their field of vision, it seemed that something different was missing.

Zhou Cao became a little quieter at this moment, and all eyes turned to him.

Those who lived underground in the Land of Hot Water mostly knew each other and were aware of the burly man wielding the battle axe—what a ruthless person he was.

The sudden silence was clearly eerie and unsettling.

'Gulp.'

After swallowing hard, one of the followers pointed tremblingly at his leader, blurting out uneasy words:
