Chapter 857: Chapter 350: Tie Wu Gang
“Disperse and regroup?” Lu Jiuli, known as the ‘Green Flood Dragon Hand’, pondered: “Avoiding a direct clash is feasible, but will it work?”
Tie Xiaosheng thought to himself that it was certainly feasible.
He was about to respond when a light laugh echoed from outside the hall.
“As expected of the Deputy Flag Master; this is indeed a brilliant strategy.”
Tie Xiaosheng’s expression shifted as he looked towards the entrance of the hall, where he saw a charming and graceful figure standing leisurely at the doorway.
“Mei Niang?” Tie Xiaosheng was slightly surprised.
His brow furrowed imperceptibly, and he waved his large sleeve, signaling the guards outside to let her in.
Flag Leader, Chu Xisheng, had great trust in this woman and had given her an Iron Flag Order, allowing her free entry and exit at the Iron Banner Headquarters.
Tie Xiaosheng hadn’t anticipated that this woman’s Spiritual Sense would be so keen, perceiving the array that isolated the Five Senses and Spiritual Sense in the hall as non-existent.
Wo Meiniang noticed the lurking vigilance in Tie Xiaosheng’s eyes but disregarded it. She smiled and stepped inside: “It’s not my fault for eavesdropping; someone has tampered with the talisman array in your hall, leaving it flawed. If they intend to eavesdrop on you, it would be child’s play.”
Sikong Xin, wielding the ‘Shadow Killing Spear’, changed her expression slightly and stood up immediately: “All sorcerers, come with me!”
She was meticulous and cautious, having the sorcerers check the array in the hall earlier, but nothing was found.
Sikong Xin herself was not skilled in array techniques, so she did not sense anything unusual.
Wo Meiniang clasped her hands to the people in the hall: “I am here to bid farewell. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has instructed me to temporarily withdraw from East State, avoiding contact with Extreme East Ice City. By noontime today, I will board a ship to Wang’an City. Before leaving, I have a piece of advice to share with you all.”
Hearing this, Tie Xiaosheng straightened up and returned the gesture: “Please, Mei Niang, go ahead!”
Wo Meiniang smiled sweetly and spun the smoke gun in her hand: “The rise and fall of the Iron Banner Gang now hinge solely on your Flag Leader. As long as Chu Xisheng stands, this great banner will not fall, and the unity of the Iron Banner Gang will remain unbroken.
Therefore, while you temporarily conceal your identities, it does not harm the overall situation. The brothers of the Iron Banner Gang should continue eating, drinking, working, and living as usual. Extreme East Ice City can do nothing to you unless they intend to annihilate all the tens of thousands of Iron Banner brothers.”
Tie Xiaosheng nodded slightly at her words, as he had thought the same.
While appearing to speak to Tie Xiaosheng, Wo Meiniang’s gaze swept over the people present.
She thought to herself that this hall was indeed like a hidden hub of talents, with many traitors among them.
Recently, due to Jianghu rumors about the Rebellious God Flag falling into Chu Xisheng’s hands, several prominent figures from Jianghu had disguised and infiltrated the Iron Banner Gang.
This matter was extremely secretive, and even the information channels of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had failed to detect it.
If not for her deep roots in the area and special talents, Wo Meiniang might not have noticed any clues.
The waters within the Iron Banner Gang were now truly unfathomable.
Chu Xisheng’s situation was also exceedingly perilous, being coveted and hunted by all sides.
However, Wo Meiniang’s face remained unchanged: “Dealing with Extreme East Ice City is the court’s business, so why should the Iron Banner Gang foolishly bear the brunt? Even if the court wants to leverage the Iron Banner Gang to resist Extreme East Ice City, they should offer substantial benefits, should they not? That is all I have to say; please give it careful thought.”
She clasped her hands once more, then turned and walked out of the hall.
The people inside the hall were all slightly furrowing their brows, lost in thought.
However, Dan Chiling did not notice, sitting among many of the Fifth Grade below him, some of whom also showed unusual expressions.
