This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 86 - Big Leader

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Big Leader

Qingyuan Fist Village.

In the Inner Village, there was a residential area where the managers, staff, and guards of Qingyuan Fist Village lived.

Among them resided the hidden puppet-master of Qingyuan Fist Village!

There were many legends about the hidden leader of the Fist Village, as it was the only underground industry in Xing City that was not controlled by the Tiger Saber Gang.

It was well-known that Qingyuan Fist Village’s daily turnover was at least hundreds of thousands, making it one of the most profitable ventures in Xing City.

Such a juicy piece of the pie, which the Tiger Saber Gang had consistently refrained from seizing and even agreed to play by the village’s rules, was sufficient proof of the hidden leader’s power.

Some said that the puppet-master behind the village belonged to the top local family, the Chen Family, while others speculated it to be an asset of the Zhi Ge Court, supported by a host of powerful registered martial masters, which was why no one dared to make a move.

There were even whispers that it belonged to the Chief of Xing City!

But all these conjectures were incorrect; only a handful knew that the true overseer of Qingyuan Fist Village was a woman.

“Your name is… Liu San?”

In a room furnished in ancient style, weapon racks filled with heavy weapons forged from fine steel stood on both sides.

Liu San and Sister Hua stood tensely in the center of the hall, eyes cast down to the ground, not daring to look around.

After hearing the question, Liu San trembled slightly and cautiously lifted his head to glimpse the high seat, only catching sight of green trouser hems and a pair of delicate black cloth shoes.

“Answering the Big Leader, I am indeed called Liu San,” Liu San stated nervously.

The Big Leader was the title used for the controller of Qingyuan Fist Village.

Seated on the Taishi Chair in the hall, carved from rosewood, was a woman in green clothing with her hair in a long braid.

Her appearance was ordinary, but her demeanor was outstanding, resembling an unsheathed precious sword—her divine essence hidden, not showing the slightest edge, yet intimidating nonetheless.

She was the Big Leader of Qingyuan Fist Village, the true master here!

“Tell me the whole story of how you came to know that Green-faced Ghost.”

The woman’s voice was chillingly clear, filled with an icy undertone that heightened Liu San’s anxiety.

Having never met the Fist Village’s Big Leader, Liu San had only heard numerous tales of her.

Only today did he realize that the Big Leader was a woman.

But he didn’t dare to misbehave because of that revelation; on the contrary, he became even more cautious, and promptly recounted every detail of his encounters with Li Fei—from their first meeting to assisting with the Powerful Crossbow, purchasing Elixirs, and other associated matters.

These events could easily be verified upon investigation, so Liu San dared not hide anything.

“Being able to kill Zong Guang of the Tiger Saber Gang during a thunderstorm suggests that this person must be a martial master, so why did he purchase so many Elixirs necessary for martial artists in the Body Breaking Stage?” wondered the woman in green clothing.

“Could it be that he, like Zong Guang, uses a Mutant Attribute Implant and possesses some special method that temporarily endows him with the Combat Power of a martial master?”

Liu San did not dare to interject, nor did Sister Hua beside him.

Sister Hua was terrified, worried about being implicated by the Green-faced Ghost’s actions because, after all, the havoc he had wrought meant offending both the Tiger Saber Gang and Qingyuan Fist Village!

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from outside.

A middle-aged man dressed in Qingyuan Fist Village’s signature green Martial robe strode into the hall.

Liu San glanced at the newcomer, recognizing him.

The man, Xiang Du, bore the nickname ‘Golden-breaking Hand’. He had once split in two a Heavenly Level fistfighter causing trouble in the village with a single palm strike!

He was a Qi Change Stage martial artist and also belonged to Qingyuan Fist Village.

Xiang Du entered the hall and respectfully saluted the woman seated on the Taishi Chair:

“Big Leader, the investigation is complete.”

“Speak.”

“This Green-faced Ghost and the Tiger Saber Gang’s Master, Zhang Mingze, have met three times within our Fist Village. Three days after their second meeting, Feng Zhenshan, the Third Level Main Judge from the Court of Judicial Review, died. And just now, not only has the Tiger Saber Gang issued an Execution Order for the Green-faced Ghost, but they’ve also spread news alleging that it was the Green-faced Ghost who killed Feng Zhenshan.”

“Was the Third Level Main Judge Feng Zhenshan an official from Gu Zhenhui’s faction?”

“Yes.”

“This is getting interesting.”

Interest flickered in the eyes of the Big Leader in the Taishi Chair.

“Big Leader, could this Green-faced Ghost be one of the Chief’s men? Could it be a ploy, sacrificing a Third Level Main Judge in a bitter stratagem, just to take down the Tiger Saber Gang’s Master Zhang?”

Xiang Du speculated.

“I don’t think so.”

The woman in green shook her head, “Gu Zhenhui doesn’t seem to have the boldness for such an act, and the risks and benefits are too evenly matched, likely to dishearten his own people. At his position, reputation is still very important.”

“Could it really be that the Green-faced Ghost suddenly turned on the Tiger Saber Gang because the price wasn’t right, or the Tiger Saber Gang was planning to bite off more than they could chew?”

Xiang Du asked.

“It’s unlikely, which is why I find it interesting,”

the lady in green said.

Xiang Du cautiously observed the Big Leader’s expression and ventured,

“Big Leader, this Green-faced Ghost has broken the rules you set; should we pursue this matter?”

The lady in green replied indifferently,

“If the Green-faced Ghost had broken my rules for any other reason, even if he hid in the Governance Hall building, I would want him dead!

But since he’s torn up with the Tiger Saber Gang in such a manner, I think the story behind this must be very interesting, so there’s no need to deal with him for now. After all, the Tiger Saber Gang has already issued an Execution Order; let’s see how it plays out.”

“Yes,”

Xiang Du bowed once more.

Just as he was about to withdraw, another person quickly stepped into the hall.

This person was also a martial artist, from Qingyuan Fist Village.

“Big Leader, Yang Xuan from the Tiger Saber Gang is outside the village, wishing to see you,”

the newcomer reported to the lady in green, then continued.

Yang Xuan was one of the few Qi Change Stage martial artists of the Tiger Saber Gang and was also a famously skilled fighter in the World of Xing City.

“Do not see him,”

the lady in green refused outright.

The messenger showed no surprise and added,

“Yang Xuan says, if the Big Leader is unwilling to see him, he would like to ask for someone.”

“Who?”

“He wants the boxing agent of the Green-faced Ghost, Liu San.”

Liu San, upon hearing this, felt a buzz in his head, his body wavered, and his hands and feet turned icy cold.

He was sure he was done for, being a lowly boxing agent; the Big Leader would definitely not have any conflict with the Tiger Saber Gang over a small fry like him.

However, he still didn’t understand the leader of Qingyuan Fist Village well enough.

“To come to my territory and ask for my person?”

The voice of the lady in green grew colder, like a sword whispering in its sheath:

“Tell him to go back and tell Yu Hu, if he wants someone, he should have the courage to come to Fist Village and ask for me personally!”

“Yes,”

the messenger once again bowed and prepared to relay the message to Yang Xuan.

“There’s more.”

The voice of the lady in green continued,

“I don’t want to see anyone from the Tiger Saber Gang entering Fist Village during this time. If one comes in, kill them!”

At the end of her statement, a chill of murderous intent spread throughout the hall.

“Yes!”

The martial artist left with the Big Leader’s orders.

Xiang Du was not surprised by such an order; however, Hua Sister and Liu San were utterly shaken, knowing their Big Leader was formidable but never expecting her to stand up to the Tiger Saber Gang so boldly!

Hua Sister glanced at the lady in green with caution, pondering a possibility.

Previously, she had always thought that their own Big Leader was probably a Qi Change Stage Refining Strength martial master, and together with a few other martial artists in the village, they matched up fairly well against what the Tiger Saber Gang had blatantly shown, which is why she could control Qingyuan Fist Village and keep the Tiger Saber Gang at bay.

But now, it seemed that the other party’s Realm might be even higher than she had imagined!

“That’s all, disperse,”

the lady in green indicated for everyone to leave.

After everyone had left, she stood up and walked to a corner, picked up the rotary phone from the table, and dialed a number.

After a while, the call connected, and a serious voice came from the other side:

“Who is this?”

A radiant smile blossomed on the lady’s face, and her cool voice softened as if at that moment she was no longer the Big Leader who reigned over Qingyuan Fist Village, but a young girl:

“Big Brother Hao, it’s me.”
