"I say, old Meng. Is the Heavenly Punishment Alliance this time also involving the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds?" Jia Zhenjing, who had been silently smoking, was startled. After all, the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds is a massive power that has existed for a thousand years in Huaxia!

If even the Sect and the Holy Land people take action, they’re done for.

"According to the information we’ve gathered, it’s highly possible that the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds will appear in the Heavenly Punishment Alliance." Meng Chanji was reluctant to believe this fact.

The Sect and the Holy Land are simply too enormous; just the mention of these words is already oppressively overwhelming.

"What are the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds?" The crowd expressed confusion.

"They are entities comparable to the Taishang Sect. Even a hundred times richer in heritage than the Taishang Sect!" the old man said casually. "You know, the Taishang Sect has the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Daughter Taihuang Demon, which aren’t too terrifying. What we’re really afraid of is the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds taking action. After all, the Erzong Three Sacred Grounds have been passed down for a thousand years. The Sect’s disciples alone number in the tens of thousands! Once we anger such a power, it will be deadly for our South Heavenly Gate."

"Moreover, it’s said that the Hongmen might also intervene. Back then, in Zhonghai, your South Heavenly Gate eradicated all the Northern Hongmen. Although this didn’t cause much turmoil in the domestic underworld, don’t forget. Even though Northern Hongmen and Southern Hongmen don’t get along, you’ve attacked Northern Hongmen, and Southern Hongmen is certainly not to be trifled with. Now we’re worried that Southern Hongmen might ally with the Taiwan Green Gang to pose a threat to Zhonghai."

All of the information Meng Chanji had recently gathered was laid out. He originally intended to speak with Lin Zifeng about this. However, due to lack of opportunity, he forgot entirely even when they met.

"Southern Hongmen wants to make a move on our Zhonghai territory? And they want to team up with the Green Gang?" Black Hawk listened, increasingly alarmed. When they fought for territory in Zhonghai, they indeed wiped out all of Northern Hongmen. Moreover, they even aggressively dismantled the Green Gang’s developing influence in Zhonghai through their South Heavenly Gate.

This matter has been etched in the minds of every South Heavenly Gate member. They all know this day will inevitably come. You hit someone from Southern Hongmen; do you think they won’t take revenge? It’s important to realize that Southern Hongmen is several hundred times stronger than Northern Hongmen!

Speaking of human wave tactics, it’s tens of thousands of people!

"Since things have developed to this point, what more is there to say?" Huo Zhengfeng frowned.

What is sown, is what is reaped. Moreover, this time, it’s a significant lesson for South Heavenly Gate. Usually, no one would have a mentality of worry and concern. Now a disaster is looming, and everyone’s heart is raised to the core...

"Well, the reason I’m here tonight is merely to remind you to prepare mentally. This time, you at South Heavenly Gate have gotten into big trouble! Whether or not you can get through this disaster will depend on the strength of your unity." After saying this, Meng Chanji shook his head, sighed, and stood up.

This disaster is also a significant test for their Ability Group. They not only need to stabilize national security but also guard against internal and external threats.

Everyone present isn’t a fool. With Meng Chanji saying as much, it’s imaginable just how huge this calamity is!

"Alright! Brothers, since this ominous disaster is upon us, now is not the time for fear or worry. What we need to do is unite and at the same time remain calm. In the following days, or even the next few weeks, the future of South Heavenly Gate will depend on you!" Huo Zhengfeng shouted loudly.

At this moment, everyone had no choice but to hold tightly onto one another. This calamity was also the greatest ordeal since the establishment of South Heavenly Gate.

To become a mighty Flood Dragon, one must endure countless storms...

After the meeting adjourned, Shuobude suddenly caught hold of Huo Zhengfeng’s hand as everyone else left.

"What’s wrong?" Huo Zhengfeng turned around to look at him. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Shuobude angled his chubby head, glancing around. He muttered softly, "Old Huo, do you find anything strange?"

"Strange? Strange about what?" Huo Zhengfeng was puzzled.

Originally, Shuobude had intended to say a few words at the meeting, but he held back, knowing that saying it could have severe consequences.

"Who do you think spread the news about Brother Lin obtaining the fierce weapon? Who do you think is most likely?" Shuobude squinted his eyes, his gaze flickering. This reminded Huo Zhengfeng, making him involuntarily tense up.

"You mean someone leaked the news outside?"

"Duh! If no one leaked the news, who else would know about Brother Lin obtaining the fierce weapon?" Shuobude slapped his bald head with a smack. He chuckled, "Old Huo, are you free tonight? How about we pay a visit to the Hai Family?"

"Visit the Hai Family? You suspect it’s the Hai Family causing trouble?" Huo Zhengfeng frowned deeply in thought. He then patted Shuobude’s shoulder: "Monk, it’s not that I’m saying this. The Hai Family was nurtured by Brother Lin. You can’t casually mess with that Hai Zhilan! Moreover, we at South Heavenly Gate are still reliant on the Hai Family."

"Damn! Old Huo! By your words, you don’t believe me, Monk?" Shuobude glared, clearly displeased.

"It’s not that I don’t believe you. Monk, you know the Hai Family is under Brother Lin’s protection. If you stir up trouble with the Hai Family now, isn’t it deliberately going against Brother Lin’s face? It’s like falling in love with a woman, announcing your love to the world, only for her to love someone else. Imagine how many people would laugh at you?"

"..."

"Forget it. Although Hai Zhilan has been excessive recently, they wouldn’t do anything to harm our South Heavenly Gate. Let’s wait for Brother Lin to return before we act."

"Old Huo, but my intuition tells me this kid is no good. If he could kill his own brother and sister and the Elder who adored him, do you believe this guy won’t betray us?"

"Brother, our South Heavenly Gate is chaotic enough. Your meddling will just cause an explosion sooner or later. In my opinion, let’s wait for Brother Lin to come back to discuss."

Huo Zhengfeng shook his head.

"Bah! Monk, I’m just concerned about South Heavenly Gate, and now you make me sound like I’m harming it!"

Said Shuobude in anger, gritting his teeth fiercely.

After all, he was an elder who fought alongside Lin Zifeng to conquer the world. Everything he did was naturally in the interest of South Heavenly Gate. Not only was his suspicion not recognized, but now this damned old Huo was also doubting him.

Damn it. Thinking about it, Shuobude became increasingly angry.

"Fine! Old Huo, you may not believe me, but don’t question my loyalty to South Heavenly Gate! I’ll prove it to you."

With that, he slapped his head, and this monk stormed off, leaving Huo Zhengfeng shaking his head helplessly...
