Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 249: Chapter 124 Qiao Hongyan: Come a little closer, can I really eat you up? (Ten thousand words, please subscribe)_6

At this moment, Qimu Ge looked at the position of the sun and said, ”Hmm, it’s about time, I should be leaving. Sect Master Peng, take good care of your injuries. Farewell.”

After speaking, Qimu Ge stepped down from the wooden platform. Below, the Black Cavalry held his horse ready, and he mounted and rode off with the Black Cavalry.

Chen Jie watched Qimu Ge leaving and said, ”Father, does the Lord Commander seem troubled?”

Peng Shizhong replied, ”Hmm, but it’s none of our business. By the way, Jiu Si, I want to ask you something.”

”Father, please speak.”

”Do you think Fourth Brother was killed by the Beggar Sect?”

”Hmm?”

Chen Jie was stunned and then looked at Peng Shizhong, ”Father, you think it wasn’t the Beggar Sect?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Today I questioned the old beggar, and he didn’t admit to killing Fourth Brother. Given our feud with the old beggar, he has no reason to lie to me.”

”So, Father, you think there’s something fishy about this?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Hmm, Fourth Brother cannot die so unclearly; otherwise, I would feel I’ve let him down!”

Chen Jie paused for a moment and said, ”What do you mean, Father?”

”The Twelve Eagle Guards have recently been placed under your command. Investigate Fourth Brother’s cause of death secretly. My son cannot die without reason!”

Chen Jie responded, ”Understood!”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Hmm, for now, start with that. Also, tomorrow at White Tiger Hall, I will arrange your other duties. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother are all injured and currently unable to manage the specifics of White Tiger Hall, so our four streets and this Nan Lake will need your attention.”

”The burden on you is not light!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Being able to share your burdens is my duty.”

Peng Shizhong nodded and asked, ”How are your injuries?”

Chen Jie was startled; he hadn’t expected Peng Shizhong to inquire about his injuries and replied, ”Oh, it’s a minor injury; no concern.”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Hmm, don’t be careless. By the way, you can use any of the healing medicines in the hall. You are now the pillar of White Tiger Hall; you cannot afford to be incapacitated.”

”Thank you, Father. And what about the Beggar Sect?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”They are no longer our concern.”

”They are not?”

Peng Shizhong said, ”Fishing Guild and Guild Cao will handle all upcoming matters. We have already secured a large piece of the pie this time; from now on, Nan Lake is ours.”

Nan Lake was indeed a large piece of the pie, particularly a very lucrative one, as it accounted for two-tenths of All Mianshui County’s illicit salt production. However, now under White Tiger Hall’s control, the output would definitely need to be regulated.

Even so, at the very least, they could take one-tenth of All Mianshui County’s illicit salt production.

This was already a considerably frightening figure.

Even this revenue alone could offset the annual output of two, perhaps even three streets.

It could be said that the battle of Nan Lake had expanded White Tiger Hall’s influence by nearly two-thirds!

It was quite an expansion.

And this was the greatest benefit White Tiger Hall could receive; as for the other industries of the Beggar Sect, those were beyond their reach.

Moreover, even if they wanted to interfere, they lacked the actual strength; in terms of real power, they were no match for the Beggar Sect.

...

Boom!

Boom!

At this time, not far outside the county town in a dense forest, a terrifying pounding noise was heard.

Crack!

With a loud noise, a large tree was directly frozen solid, then shattered into pieces by a palm strike.

Meanwhile, nearby, a palm carrying flames struck a giant rock, sending it flying and smashing several large trees. Steam rose from the high heat burning on the rock.

Awooo...

At the same time, there was a sound like a giant dragon chanting, and the next moment several large trees were flattened.

”Pfft...cough cough...”

At this time in the forest, the old beggar spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body bearing the imprint of a colossal palm.

That palm print was like an iron brand, burning through the clothes on his chest to reveal the skin and flesh underneath, leaving a red mark imprinted on his skin.

This was none other than Elder Liu’s signature ultimate skill—the Fiery Fire Skill.

It was this palm that had made the old beggar spit blood.

Coughing, the old beggar looked at the two people in front of him.

These two were the famously formidable protectors of Mianshui County, Nan Batian and Beilao Liu.

These two who were always at odds, were now, surprisingly, collaborating to attack the old beggar.

The old beggar coughed and addressed the two, ”Nan Batian, Elder Liu Laoguai, we have had no grievances in recent days. Why attack me today?”

Nan Batian chuckled and said, ”Old beggar, your intentions to undermine my Fishing Guild are clear as day. And you still claim we have no grievances?”

The old beggar then turned to look at Elder Liu and said, ”Guild Leader Liu, we have no quarrel, why not join me in defeating Nan Batian, and you can be the top gang in Mianshui.”

Elder Liu replied with a laugh, ”Hehe, no, I have no interest in confronting Nan Batian today.”

Old beggar said, ”Fine, what if you just stand aside and watch, letting me and Nan Batian fight to death, then you can take advantage at the end?”

Hearing this, Nan Batian tensed up. He had just exchanged blows with the old beggar and realized the old man’s strength surpassed his. The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were indeed formidable, even if the old beggar knew only one move, it was enough to dominate Mianshui County.

Elder Liu, smiling, replied, ”Hehe... alright, then. How about you hand over the secret manual of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, and I’ll withdraw immediately?”

”Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms?”

”Will you hand it over?”

”No!”

The old beggar gave his answer, and seeing this, Elder Liu grinned and said, ”Then, Overlord Brother, we have no choice but to take it by force.”

Saying this, the two attacked the old beggar again. The old beggar’s eyes turned blood-red, and he immediately executed the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms—Dragon Fighting in the Wilderness!

Boom boom boom...

The explosive sounds of the fight echoed through the whole forest.

An hour later, with a loud bang, the old beggar was sent flying, his situation dire, covered in blood, one arm brutally torn off. He now struggled to crawl up from the ground.

Nan Batian and Beilao Liu looked equally miserable.

Elder Liu’s arm was dislocated, and Nan Batian coughed violently as both walked out of the forest covered in dirt.

Nan Batian said, ”Hand over the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Hands and spare your life!”

The old beggar, with a dark expression, sneered, ”Hehe, as if you deserve to lay hands on the Beggar Sect Divine Skill! Scoundrels!”

As he spoke, the ground suddenly trembled. Coming from a distance was Qimu Ge leading the Black Cavalry.

Qimu Ge looked at the old beggar on the ground and said, ”Hmm, such a sorry state, old beggar. Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, my Lord is very interested. Hand it over, and I’ll spare your life!”

”Hehe, as expected, you all are dogs of the Mulan people. Hehe, you want the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms? Fine, I’ve hidden them somewhere secret, but I won’t tell you where. No one can find them, no one!”

”You’ll never find them!”

Seeing the old beggar so hysterical, Qimu Ge said, ”Then let’s skip the nonsense, seize him and torture him! Please assist, both Gang Leaders!”

Nan Batian and Elder Liu then walked towards the old beggar!

Hearing this, the old beggar sneered, ”Hahaha... Lapdogs, all of you!”

With that, he raised his remaining right hand, summoning strength, and immediately, the sound of a dragon’s chant rang out.

”Not good, he’s going to kill himself!”

But before anyone could stop him, with a slap, the old beggar hit his own head, brains splattered, and he died instantly.
