Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Hesheng Society.

Yun'an Tea House is famous for its morning tea, and it is a favorite of Lao Gui, the leader of the Hesheng Society.

Old Gui also liked to eat and talk business here. Over time, Yun'an Teahouse became a gathering place for the senior members of Hesheng Society.

During this period, the Black Lotus Society of Annam has been aggressive and has caused many conflicts.

The Five Tigers are all subordinate branches of the Hesheng Society. With such a major incident, they naturally need to seek advice from the head of the organization, Old Ghost.

Lin Jiayi called home to make arrangements for her funeral and put her mind at ease.

Based on her observations over this period, Gao Wu was indeed a peerless martial arts genius, and his character was also very reliable. If something really happened to her, Gao Wu could at least protect his sister.

People in the arena involuntarily.

She used the name of Hesheng to establish her own branch; whenever Hesheng was in trouble, she had to step forward.

This wasn't just about loyalty; it was the code of conduct in the underworld. It was through these rules that she was able to open her gang and have hundreds of followers willingly risk their lives for her.

She doesn't follow the rules, so who will listen to her in the future? She'll have no face to continue living in the underworld of Nangang.

The struggles in the martial arts world are actually not that complicated; it's simply a matter of the brave prevailing when paths cross.

Of course, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, then bravery will only lead to a pointless death. Finding the right balance is crucial.

If it were truly a dead end, she would definitely run. The situation is still unclear; there's still a fight going on between the two sides. She wants to assess the situation first.

Lin Jiayi and her thirty-odd henchmen arrived at the Yun'an Tea House when a second-floor window suddenly shattered, and a dark figure leaped out of the room amidst shards of broken glass.

The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, and upon landing, it rolled over to dissipate the impact of the gravity from its fall.

But as soon as he stood up, another dark figure came right up to him from behind.

Another dark figure arrived with incredible speed, his twin blades flashing as he pierced through the back of the figure in front of him.

Two white blades protruded from the man's chest, their tips gleaming under the streetlights.

Lin Jiayi then saw clearly that the person who jumped down was dressed in a black training uniform, bald, with a wrinkled old face and a thin body. He was none other than Lao Gui, the leader of the Hesheng Society.

The person with the double blades that pierced through the old ghost's chest was clearly a master who had been guarding downstairs and had taken the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Old Ghost has concentrated his energy in his dantian and reached the level of a martial arts master, which is why he can now hold his position as the leader of a region.

Such a skilled fighter was stabbed twice while trying to escape by jumping off a building. It can only be said that Lao Gui lost his composure in his panic.

The martial arts world is cruel; no matter how skilled you are, you can die from a single mistake.

Lin Jiayi was hesitating whether to help when the man hiding behind the old ghost stabbed her more than twenty times, blood spurting out from the double blades that pierced through her.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen holes had appeared in the old ghost's chest.

Even a martial arts master with strong vitality cannot withstand such severe injuries. Moreover, the person who attacked from behind was vicious, and several of the stabs had already pierced the old ghost's heart.

Old Ghost stared in despair at Lin Jiayi, who was more than ten meters away. He tried to call for help, but no sound came out.

"It's over..." Lin Jiayi's heart sank. Old Ghost was definitely dead. Without Old Ghost in charge, Hesheng Society would also be finished.

The Black Lotus Society members are ruthless; they directly employ the strategy of capturing the leader first.

Regardless of whether these guys can gain a foothold or not, she certainly can't beat them.

Lin Jiayi realized what was happening and immediately whispered, "Go, leave now."

Many of the underlings recognized Lao Gui, and they were terrified when they witnessed their leader being killed.

Lin Jiayi's words jolted everyone awake. Without a second thought, they turned and ran.

Several people jumped down from the second floor of the teahouse. The slender and wiry Li Hexian shouted, "It's Red Tiger! I'm going to kill that woman!"

Nguyen Anh, who was in the lead, nodded and said to another tall man, "Khmer, you come along. Don't let anything happen."

Khmer responded and hurriedly followed Li Hexian after them.

Lin Jiayi ran a few steps and then noticed someone was fast-paced up behind her, so she quickly sped up.

Taking advantage of her familiarity with the surrounding terrain, Lin Jiayi suddenly leaped at the street corner, using the wall as leverage in mid-air to land on a shop sign facing the street.

She has all her internal organs and orifices open, and has practiced martial arts for many years, making her body extremely strong and resilient.

The series of movements was quick and fluid. After getting onto the signboard, she used it for leverage and jumped a few times, reaching the third-floor corridor window. She then slipped through the window.

Li Hexian, who was closely following behind, had sharp eyes. He saw the crimson shadow flash into the third floor and immediately leaped up without hesitation.

His gloves had sharp blades wrapped around his fingers. He gripped the wall with his fingers and used the force to lift himself up.

This Flying Ape Blade technique is a traditional Annamite martial art that emphasizes leaping and bounding movements. The claw blades worn on both hands are also specially made.

Li Hexian was ruthless and wanted to impress his boss, so he didn't wait for the Khmer troops behind him and rushed into the window on his own.

Before Li Hexian could even touch the ground, Lin Jiayi, who was hiding by the window, grabbed Li Hexian's neck.

She was actually skilled with a sword, but she usually had her younger brother carry the sword when she went out, so she didn't get to get her sword when she was fleeing for her life.

But her claws are sharp; even if the opponent's neck is made of solid wood, she can still tear it to shreds with her finger strength.

Li Hexian was also a great martial artist who had practiced the Flying Ape Blade for thirty years and had exceptionally quick reflexes.

He knew something was wrong when he heard the gust of wind beside his ear, so he immediately shrank his neck and turned his head to the side, slashing horizontally with his left hand.

He didn't actually see Lin Jiayi, but he could roughly determine the location of the ambush from the window.

The claws were sharpened to an exceptionally sharp point, drawing several cold, gleaming streaks in the dim light.

Lin Jiayi knew the danger; she dared not be touched by the claw blades. Her right hand transformed into a crane claw and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Li Hexian flipped her wrist to change her move, but Lin Jiayi pressed her wrist down with her crane claw.

The two were locked in a struggle, and he couldn't break free for the time being. But he was experienced in combat, and he immediately used the opponent's strength to his side, while his other claw blade also grabbed at Lin Jiayi.

Although Lin Jiayi is known as the Red Tiger and acts flamboyantly and domineeringly, she is actually quite deep and cautious. She wouldn't fight to the death with her opponent. Her Crane Claw immediately released Li Hexian's wrist, and her upper body retreated half a foot to avoid another sweeping claw blade.

Li Hexian had gained the upper hand and was about to launch a fierce attack when suddenly a strong wind rushed towards her, and Lin Jiayi's leg was already in front of her.

He had used the same trick before, and being in mid-air, he had no way to dodge. He could only try to lower his head and shrink his neck, but Lin Jiayi still kicked him in the face.

Iron Crane Sect's leg techniques all involve injuring people with the soles of their feet. With one kick, Li Hexian's nose bone was broken. Lin Jiayi exerted force with all five toes, leaving three deep bloody marks on Li Hexian's face.

Li Hexian screamed in pain as he was hit by the force. In his panic, he grabbed the window and jumped backwards out. He tumbled and stumbled among the various plaques hanging outside, crashing to the ground with a loud crash.

The Khmer troops who rushed over were a step too slow and failed to catch Li Hexian as she fell.

He glanced at the third-floor window and gave up the idea of ​​giving chase. It was too high for him to jump up.

Looking at Li Hexian again, his dark and thin face was covered in blood and flesh, and he kept screaming in agony, looking quite miserable.

Ruan Ying and the others rushed over upon hearing the noise and saw that Li Hexian was not in good condition. Li Honghe hurriedly checked on his brother.

After a while, Li Hexian, enduring excruciating pain, said, "It's over, I've gone blind in my left eye, I can't see anything..."

Li Honghe roared in fury: "I'll go kill that woman to avenge you!"

Nguyen Anh also frowned. Le Ha Tien was a brave and valiant warrior, and of Annamite descent. The loss of such a fierce general made him very angry.

But he was much calmer than Li Honghe: "It's the middle of the night. Since Honghu has run away, where are we going to look for him? Don't rush."

Ruan Jie chimed in, "Red Tiger's territory isn't far. If Red River and Khmer take their men there, someone will definitely know where her home is. Anyone who dares to hurt us must have their entire family killed, so others will know how powerful we are..."

Gao Wu was sleeping in his room when he heard Lin Jiayin knocking on the door.

Gao Wu was somewhat surprised. According to the rules of the Jianghu in Nangang, Jianghu disputes would not involve family members. This was also a rule of the Jianghu.

Besides, Honghu is just a small gang leader. In the Hesheng Society, she would only be a double-flower red stick, and it would be impossible for her to take the lead.

Who would deliberately cause trouble for her family...?

Upon opening the door, Lin Jiayin was dressed neatly, though her face was a little pale. She said in a panic, "Uncle-Master Xiaowu, my sister called and told me to run quickly."

She added, "I've already told Aunt Lan to leave first."

Gao Wu thought for a moment and said, "No one else knows this house belongs to your sister, so you can stay here without any problems."

He added, "Go back and get your bedding and other supplies. There's a spare room here for you."

"Hmm?" Lin Jiayin looked doubtful. Would this really work?

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place'?" Gao Wu said.

"No." Lin Jiayin shook her head honestly, her big eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Gao Wu was just teasing the child. He waved his hand and said, "Go pack your luggage. I said it's okay, so it's okay."

Although Lin Jiayin still felt it was inappropriate, she was somewhat weak-willed, and more importantly, her sister told her to listen to Gao Wu, so she had no choice but to obey.

Soon Lin Jiayin returned with a large pile of bedding and other items. Gao Wu helped her clean up the other bedroom so that Lin Jiayin could rest in peace.

After settling in, Lin Jiayin couldn't fall asleep despite the buzzing of the fan.

She was worried about her sister's safety one moment and afraid that someone would come knocking on her door the next. Lost in her thoughts, she heard loud banging on the door next door, along with chaotic shouts and curses.

Lin Jiayin ran to the living room and carefully listened to the sounds through the door.

Gao Wu also got up from the bedroom and came out. The other party had actually come to the door. This situation was different from what Lin Feihe had said.

Even when the Yakuza were so rampant, they only killed people in the ring; they didn't come to hunt them down in private.

Of course, this might be because the Yakuza won, and there's no need to make things so ugly... But these Annamese are really too impolite.

He found Lin Jiayin's cautious demeanor both amusing and pitying. Her father had died in battle when she was a teenager, which must have had a significant impact on her.

Gao Wu comforted him, "It's alright. There are so many residents in the building; they can't possibly go door to door looking for people."

With his martial arts skills, dealing with these people wouldn't be difficult, but cleaning up the mess would be a real hassle.

The Lin family's house will become a haunted house, and it will be difficult to resell it later. Anyway, these people won't dare to burn the house down, so losing some furniture and appliances is no big deal.

Gao Wu could hear people banging things on the other side of the door, some cursing in strange Cantonese, and others chattering in a foreign language, making it very noisy.

Lin Jiayin's face showed sadness when she heard that her house had been vandalized. It was her home, where she had lived for several years and had put a lot of effort into its furnishings and decor, but now it was all destroyed.

"When I have more money in a while, I'll buy you a better, bigger house." Gao Wu also felt a little guilty, so he gently comforted him.

"It's nothing, it's all my sister's revenge, it has nothing to do with us." Lin Jiayin could tell right from wrong. This matter had nothing to do with Gao Wu, so how could she ask him to pay compensation?

Gao Wu was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice amidst the noise.

"Boss, I heard that the house across the street also belongs to the Red Tigers. They might be hiding over there..."

Gao Wu immediately recognized the voice. Ah Gui, this guy held a grudge against him, so he betrayed him? But how did Ah Gui know the details?

There's not much to study here; it can only be said that his cleverness backfired.

Gao Wu took the Qingfeng sword hanging on the wall down and gently tugged at Lin Jiayin's wrist: "Go back to your room first."

Lin Jiayin didn't hear the conversation outside; she only saw Gao Wu holding a sword, and it was clear that something was wrong.

She asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Gao Wu said softly, "It's nothing. Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Ah, is there a ghost?" Lin Jiayin stared wide-eyed, looking around anxiously.

"Not yet, but a bunch of ghosts will appear soon..." Gao Wu said quietly.

Knock, knock, knock! The door was pounded on, and a gruff voice yelled, "Damn it, open the door!"

The sudden, loud noise was like a demon knocking at the door, startling Lin Jiayin so much that she almost screamed... (End of Chapter)
