“How could that be possible?”
Tie Xiaosheng imdiately furrowed his brows, he had been looking forward to this incense hall gathering.
“Flag Leader, your official succession ceremony is not only eagerly awaited by all our inner and outer Iron Banner Gang mbers, but also closely watched by the Jianghu characters of East State!
Furthermore, after this battle, the Iron Banner Gang will need to establish at least twelve Outer Halls.
Such an important event, how can we not hold an incense hall ceremony?
This action will also properly demonstrate the influence of our Iron Banner Gang to the Jianghu of East State and to the entire world!”
Chu Xisheng laughed silently, “Does not holding an incense hall ceremony an that this position of Flag Leader becos illegitimate?
That I can’t command the gang mbers?
Uncle Tie, the Iron Banner Gang has been too conspicuous lately, let’s keep a low profile for now.
Driving back the governnt troops, pacifying Xunyang and Xiushui Counties, our Iron Banner Gang’s influence and power are already enough to deter others.
There’s no need for these superficial gestures.
We still need to save so face for Governor Wang Sheng, otherwise, it would be difficult for Mr.
Governor to explain to his superiors.”
Tie Xiaosheng was left speechless.
At this ti, Chu Xisheng’s authority not only shook the entire East State Jianghu, but also within the Iron Banner Gang itself.
Not only did he command the respect of both new and old gang mbers, but also, the many old brothers from Chongzhou Island admired and feared him, willingly bowing their heads and obeying him.
Just for Chu Xisheng taking the great risk to raise the flag and seek revenge for the Iron Madman after his death, they couldn’t help but admire his audacity.
“So, these trifles of false renown are better left aside, what’s most important are tangible benefits.
Rather than spending silver coins on holding a grand incense hall ceremony, it’s better to focus more energy on managing the banking enterprises left by the Xiushui gentry well, to acquire more secret dicine for our Iron Banner Gang, and nurture more elites.
Moreover—”
Chu Xisheng said this, then laughed helplessly, “Moreover, there’s a change in the North.
Uncle Qingxu has ordered to hurry to the Formless Mountain ahead of schedule, and I’ll probably have to head north in a few days, no ti left for elaborate preparations.”
Tie Xiaosheng was taken aback and frowned, “Didn’t the Flag Leader say that after a few months, when the Formless Divine Sect widely opens its gates, then you would go to Formless Mountain?
What exactly has happened in the North that requires the Flag Leader’s urgent—”
“Don’t worry, it’s good news!”
Chu Xisheng interrupted Tie Xiaosheng.
His lips curved into a smile, a mysterious glint in his eyes.
The Formless Divine Sect originally didn’t want him to draw too much attention.
However, plans can’t keep up with changes.
Now, from the Western Capital Chu Family, a ‘genuine’ ‘Blood Vengeance Saint’ has erged, and Qingxu is impatient for him to rush to the North to study the ‘Blood Vengeance True Intent’ left by the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord.
The Formless Divine Sect’s desire for the ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade’ is even more urgent than he had imagined.
Yet Chu Xisheng also felt puzzled.
What exactly is the situation with the Western Capital Chu Family’s ‘Blood Vengeance Saint’?
Does this person truly possess the talent to cultivate the ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade,’ or is there another reason?
anwhile, standing nearby, Ji Qianqian suddenly felt a slight shift in her expression and stealthily cast her gaze toward the south.
She sensed an icy, stabbing pain in her forehead.
This was their unique secret communication technique of the Heavenly Jinyi Guards.
And the person contacting her was soone Ji Qianqian knew well.
It was her superior, one of her senior brothers, Wan Qi Luohou of the Heavenly Jinyi Guards.
Ji Qianqian should have felt joyful.
She and senior brother Wan Qi had not t in a long ti.
Yet at this mont, her mood slightly sank, feeling sowhat uneasy.

In Daning, the common procedure for a civilian ritual includes steps such as sweeping, burning, welcoming the deity, offering the tripod and dishes, oblation of beans, initial offering, second offering, final offering, burning prayers, drinking blessings, sending off the deity, and distributing the sacrificial at.
The Iron Banner Gang’s ritual for the Iron Madman was especially grand, also incorporating the ‘Divine Enthronent’ process, highly elaborate.
An hour later, Ji Qianqian finally endured through to the dispersing of the sacrificial at, which ant everyone sharing the offerings and at.
Taking advantage of Chu Xisheng hosting the Governor Mansion Chief Historian and others, and unobserved for the mont, Ji Qianqian quietly slipped away from the crowd and stealthily headed fifteen miles to the south side of the Mi Family Castle.
There was a small hollow surrounded by thick grass and a forest of pines, with limited visibility, making it suitable for secret etings.
A slight magic could easily shield this spot from Iron Banner Gang sentinels.
Wan Qi Luohou was originally standing atop a tall, seventy-foot pine tree, hands clasped behind him gazing into the distance at the Iron Madman’s tomb and Mi Family Castle.
It was only when Ji Qianqian arrived that Wan Qi Luohou floated down from the top of the pine tree.
He was about thirty, over seven feet tall, with a fine waist and broad shoulders, his physique powerful.
His face was as pale as jade, his eyebrows like swords reaching up to his temples, his eyes bright and clear, exuding heroism.
Despite his muscular and heroic figure, this young man was a Third Grade sorcerer, surrounded by a mist of Spiritual Power, his aura mystically entwined.
As Ji Qianqian cautiously approached, Wan Qi Luohou scoffed coldly, “You really are bold!
Sikong Chan was a well-regarded eunuch of the Eunuch Party, yet you’ve deceitfully portrayed him as a traitor.
One Sikong Chan wasn’t enough; you’ve also embroiled many scholars from the East State Eunuch and Xiushui County, annihilating their families!
You essentially regard the national law as nonexistent.”
Ji Qianqian, already feeling nervous and apprehensive,
had joined the Iron Banner Gang and been close to Chu Xisheng for a while but had achieved nothing substantial, nor had she located any valuable leads.
