The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 241 The Shangguan Clan
A stick of incense was burning in front of the coffin.
The smoke from the incense curls up and dissipates with the wind.
In the bright light, you can still see the body lying in the coffin, Jing Wuming's body.
Outside the window, the sky was dark, the wind and clouds were changing, and accompanied by thunder and lightning, the huge city of Luoyang was shrouded in dense rain.
Next to the coffin were the gang leader Shangguan Xiaoxian and Shangguan Xianer, as well as Lu Xiaojia, Mother Liu, several hall masters of the gang, and several protectors, all of whom were there, all in mourning.
Not only them, but also all the members of the Jinqian Gang outside the headquarters and in the nine streets and eighteen alleys of Luoyang City have packed up their things, arranged their funeral arrangements, and appeared from all directions in mourning clothes.
Some stood under the eaves, holding the knife and wrapping the handle, and tied their hands and the handle tightly with cloth strips, forming a knot, as if they wished the knife grew on their bodies.
Some of them sat in the rain, in the middle of the street, with their heads lowered, patiently sharpening their blades.
The identities of these people were all very strange. There were innkeepers, restaurant owners, beggars on the roadside, street vendors, butchers in the butcher shop, failed scholars, girls from brothels, escorts, old men rowing boats, Taoist fortune tellers...
A lot, too many.
There were peddlers, hawkers , scholars, and all kinds of people.
Some of these people are unknown figures in the underworld, some were once famous masters, and some have disappeared, such as some death row prisoners and serious criminals, and bandits.
Now it all came out at once.
In this battle, the Money Gang undoubtedly gave their all and used every possible means.
In the front yard of the Jinqian Gang headquarters, there were already forty-three corpses.
These are gang members who tried to leave the city and then died at the hands of the Qinglong Society.
Jing Wuming's body had been temporarily frozen by Shangguan Xiaoxian using the Mingyu skill. She was not in a hurry to bury it, but placed it in the front hall, also waiting for something.
She was waiting for Li Muchan.
This corpse was also left for Li Muchan to see.
Jing Wuming left scars as a warning. Even though he looked unharmed on the outside, his insides were already riddled with holes and his bones were broken. If Li Muchan could see it, he would definitely know how powerful that man was.
But time is running out, and everyone is waiting for dawn, because once dawn comes, it will be the beginning of life and death.
Unlike Gongzi Yu's previous battle, that one was merely a test, intended to conceal the truth. It never involved a full-scale attack, nor did it reach a life-or-death struggle. But this battle was different. The Azure Dragon Society, a poisonous dragon that had lain dormant beneath the Central Plains for centuries, had finally fully emerged. Its ambitions to dominate the martial arts world and devour the entire Jianghu were bound to result in the death of someone.
The winner takes all.
In the final analysis, the world of martial arts is nothing but a struggle.
Warriors fight for fame and fortune.
The same is true for the struggle for the general trend.
If you win, you can dominate the situation, take advantage of it, and seize all the opponent's resources.
Losing is just a dream of life and death.
When I think about it carefully, it seems that in the past three hundred years, the martial arts world has never been as plagued by disasters and calamities as it is today.
What a turbulent world.
Shangguan Xiaoxian said softly, "All of you can go down. If there's anything else you want to do, feel free to do it. This is my final reward to you."
So everyone retreated.
Except for Liu's mother and Lu Xiaojia.
With Jing Wuming's death, Shangguan Xiaoxian felt like she had lost an arm and had lost her backing. How could they leave at this time?
Lu Xiaojia was guarding outside the door, and Mother Liu was guarding Shangguan Xiaoxian.
But Shangguan Xian'er left.
She turned around with a sigh, walked in the rain, walked along a long corridor, and finally came to the backyard and her room.
Shangguan Xian'er has complicated feelings towards Shangguan Xiaoxian, her fellow sister.
She grew up in hiding, grew up in fear, and walked step by step to where she is today amidst intrigue and deception.
In the words of those old servants, she was born to revive the Shangguan clan and restore the power of the Jinqian Gang.
But it was not until Shangguan Xiaoxian rose to prominence and shocked the world with one move that she realized she had a sister.
Especially when Shangguan Xiaoxian came to her, all Shangguan Xian'er felt was vigilance, caution, and hostility, without any sisterhood at all.
After all, the position of the leader of the Money Gang should have been hers. Shangguan Xiaoxian was just a discarded pawn picked out to attract hatred.
But this abandoned child got there before her and got everything that belonged to her.
Of course we should be wary of it, even hate it.
Besides, Shangguan Xiaoxian is ruthless, sinister, and scheming. She will definitely not let her live well and compete for the position of leader of the Money Gang.
But it turned out that she was wrong.
Not only did the other party not kill her, but she also shared the position of gang leader with her. Although the two sisters were a little unfamiliar with each other and seldom talked to each other, Shangguan Xiaoxian did protect her well and fulfilled her responsibilities as an older sister.
During this period of time, she has been able to feel a lot of things.
Especially when you feel the other person's complex emotions of longing for family affection but also hesitation and timidity, you touch them cautiously as if you were touching a fragile flower.
At this moment, Shangguan Xian'er suddenly realized that this was an abandoned child, an abandoned child who lived for her.
She always thought she was pitiful and unfortunate, but this person was even more pitiful and miserable than her.
Therefore, Shangguan Xian'er felt sorry for this person and felt guilty.
The reason why her thoughts were so complicated was that out of heartache and guilt, she planned to betray her only relative.
Or it could be said that it is not betrayal, but seizing power.
"You, hesitated?"
There was a jade screen in the study. Just as Shangguan Xian'er was hesitating, a deep, majestic, and overbearing voice suddenly emerged from behind the screen.
The voice was so penetrating that it seemed to reach people's hearts, and even the lamp flowers trembled.
Shangguan Xian'er stood by the window, looking at the wind and rain outside, and said softly, "No."
Since she is the heir of the Money Gang, how could she be without any backup plan or help ?
Unlike Shangguan Xiaoxian who rose to prominence on her own, she had been protected by family slaves since she was young and was placed with high hopes. She also gained some things that Shangguan Xiaoxian never had.
Now that the decisive battle is imminent, these things will naturally surface .
"Is there any other choice?" Shangguan Xian'er sighed.
The voice behind the screen said indifferently, "Hasn't she fallen in love? She even gave her body to that Li Muchan. A woman who has fallen in love is hopelessly stupid. If we don't seize this opportunity to seize power, once she survives this ordeal, do you think she will marry Li Muchan? By then, will the Money Gang be the Shangguan family's Money Gang, or Li Muchan's Money Gang? Don't think that just because she shares the position of gang leader with you, you are truly the gang leader. As long as she is still around, you will never have the final say."
Shangguan Xian'er sighed, "She created this Money Gang all by herself..."
"Hmm," the voice seemed angry, "Have you forgotten where the Money Gang's foundation comes from?"
As if realizing its tone was a bit harsh, the voice changed its tone and said in a deep voice, "Now that Jing Wuming is dead, this is the perfect opportunity. And with your appearance, you can take advantage of this opportunity to attack Li Muchan. Once you succeed, the Tianxia Alliance will be under your control."
Suddenly, the lights stopped and a tall figure walked out from behind the screen with his hands behind his back.
Under the light, this person looked exactly like the portrait on the wall.
The portrait is famous.
Shangguan Jinhong!!!
