I had just returned to Liangjie Hall when Lao Liu placed the information in front of me: "Lin Zhao's sect is a branch that broke away from the Coffin Gate long ago, one of the eight branches of the Coffin Gate, the Ghoul Coffin Sect."

"According to the clues we currently have, the Coffin Gate has been reorganizing the eight branches. However, not all disciples of the eight branches are loyal to the Coffin Gate; many are unwilling to return."

"Currently, the Ghoul Coffin Sect's attitude seems ambiguous. Sending Lin Zhao to participate in the Coffin Gate's assessment is mostly a perfunctory measure. It may also be a hedging strategy."

"By sending out Lin Zhao, the Ghoul Coffin Sect can appease the Coffin Gate and keep most of their forces out of the conflict in the martial world."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think the Coffin Gate might also be gathering the Eight Generals?"

"It's possible," Lao Liu said. "If each of the eight branches of the Coffin Gate contributes an outstanding disciple to cooperate with the main branch, they can naturally gather the Eight Generals."

My eyes darkened. "Then we won't let them gather the Eight Generals. I'll go kill Lin Zhao."

"Wait!" Lao Liu said, "I think instead of killing him, we should pull one of the Coffin Gate's branches over to our side. Dongjia, if you can subdue Lin Zhao, I can make the Ghoul Coffin Sect turn to our Liangjie Hall."

I looked at Lao Liu in surprise. "You mean, force them to join us?"

"No, force them to join Liangjie Hall." Lao Liu's smile told me that his belly was brewing bad ideas.

I said again, "What about the second thing I arranged?"

Lao Liu laughed. "That depends on how much you want the Coffin Gate to hurt."

I pondered for a moment. "Now is not the time for a full-scale war with the Coffin Gate. Our strength is not enough to withstand the Coffin Gate. You just need to make Tian Dan come to me herself."

"You control the specific measures!"

Lao Liu laughed. "If I don't get Tian Dan to your door within a week, you can call me Dad."

"You've already called me that once; it's nothing new." I stood up and said, "A week is too long. I'm afraid Xiao Chun and the others will be in danger."

Lao Liu shook his head. "Dongjia, you can rest assured about that. Xiao Chun and Qin Xin are not so easily captured. Even if they are really trapped in the hands of the Coffin Gate, Tian Dan won't do anything to them in the short term!"

"Just wait for my good news!"

Lao Liu was confident, but I was still unsure. After Lao Liu left, I said to Ye Yang, "Xiao Chun and Qin Xin, are they really going to be alright?"

Ye Yang looked at me with disdain. "Have you ever thought that they deliberately cut off contact?"

"Huh?" When I looked at Ye Yang, he rolled his eyes again. "I think they must have discovered some clues and took the initiative to investigate. They deliberately cut off contact to avoid exposing their location."

"Besides you, this stupid dog, no one in Liangjie Hall is a pushover!" Ye Yang sighed and walked away, shaking his head.

The way he walked those few steps was just like Lao Liu; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was a precursor to a stroke!

Lao Liu told me to wait, and I could only wait.

I didn't expect Lao Liu to be so ruthless. On the first day, he and Yun Shang ruthlessly scammed the Coffin Gate in the stock market. It is said that Wang Butcher also contributed to this; if she hadn't asked her friends to raise funds, Lao Liu wouldn't have been able to bleed the Coffin Gate dry.

As soon as Lao Liu made money, he contacted Mi Tianyue, offered a huge reward for the heads of the Coffin Gate disciples, and issued hundreds of bounties in just a few days.

Of course, Wang Butcher was not idle either. She took Black Night Owl and cleaned up all the secret stakes of the Coffin Gate in the provincial capital. The big shots in the provincial capital who had received the information also received warnings from Black Night Owl.

Lao Liu's meaning was: touch lightly.

Unexpectedly, Black Night Owl used too much medicine. Six or seven big shots had sudden heart attacks and were hospitalized that day, almost turning the hospital into a gathering of big shots.

I felt like dying after hearing that. I wouldn't feel anything if I saw a pale face or a line of bloody words popping out of the mirror. But how could ordinary people not feel anything after seeing that? That's what Black Night Owl did.

The reputation of Liangjie Hall!

I suspected that Black Night Owl had been frightened by Xiao Kui too many times and was deliberately seeking revenge on others.

While I was having a headache, Tian Dan really came.

After Tian Dan appeared in Liangjie Hall, she went straight for the signboard of Liangjie Hall. However, before her tiger-claw-shaped weapon could touch the signboard, it triggered the formation above, and the hidden weapon was bounced back the way it came.

When we heard the noise and rushed out of the door, Tian Dan was already standing at the door aggressively: "Tian Dan of the Coffin Gate is here to ask for guidance!"

I looked up at the plaque of Liangjie Hall. "You can't even take down my signboard, yet you talk about asking for guidance? Go back! Don't embarrass the Coffin Gate."

Tian Dan's eyes widened. "You surnamed Li, you are provoking the Coffin Gate. I'm here today to seek justice for the Coffin Gate."

"Stop saying those useless things!" I said coldly. "You don't mind saying it, but I mind hearing it! Since you can't speak properly, then kneel down and say it!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Feng Ruoxing stepped forward and said, "You surnamed Tian, you were lucky last time to escape from under my nose. Let's see how you escape this time?"
