NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1019 Token
Li Yuanhe is over fifty years old, with a round head, round eyes, and a round face, looking like a local wealthy man who believes in harmony for prosperity.
However, those familiar with him all know that the Martial Arts skills under the Sect Leader of the Facing Heaven Gate are no less than those of the Qingmen Sect Leader, Zong Qingzhi.
And his insidious and vicious ways are even more so than Zong Qingzhi's.
Li Yuanhe was discussing with a group of Facing Heaven Gate senior members about the origin of the mysterious security guard who crushed Qingmen and was formulating a strategy.
A group of Facing Heaven Gate elders were filled with worry.
Although the Four Great Gates sometimes clashed, under the restraint of the four Sect Leaders, they generally coexisted harmoniously.
Over the years, the business dealings of the Four Gates have also interacted, gradually merging into one.
Now, with Qingmen collapsing overnight, Facing Heaven Gate also feels the fear of the rabbit's death and the fox's grief.
What worries Li Yuanhe the most is that this mysterious security guard named Fang Zhao is said to have unparalleled Martial Arts skills.
Such a person is definitely not an unknown name.
If he enters Sanhai with ulterior motives, it might not only be Qingmen that suffers but even Facing Heaven Gate would not be able to escape.
Of course, within Facing Heaven Gate, there are also high-ranking members with different opinions.
They think this is just the arrogant Young Master Zong provoking the Dragon Crossing the River, and Facing Heaven Gate only needs to protect itself.
The opinions were deadlocked when a Sect Disciple reported that the Qingmen Sect Leader Zong Qingzhi had arrived.
Li Yuanhe smiled slightly and clapped his hands softly, "Good things are coming."
Everyone was somewhat puzzled, while Li Yuanhe remained calm and composed.
"Think about it, the elite disciples of Qingmen have already been disabled by that Fang Zhao."
"Zong Qingzhi wants to deal with Fang Zhao, he must borrow external strength, and now that he's here, what does he want to do?"
Several high-ranking members nodded repeatedly, all showing mocking expressions on their faces.
"So, Zong Qingzhi is here to seek help?"
Li Yuanhe laughed heartily.
"Fang Zhao, no matter how powerful he is outside, when he enters the detention center, it's still the world of my Facing Heaven Gate, so Zong Qingzhi is not stupid."
One of the elders chuckled with a smile.
"In recent years, the Zong Group has developed very rapidly and made a lot of money."
"I think we can knock on Zong Qingzhi's bamboo pole quite hard."
This elder spoke the words in Li Yuanhe's heart, and he nodded slightly.
A group of high-ranking members laughed heartily.
While everyone was speaking, two disciples escorted Zong Qingzhi to the headquarters hall.
After just one day, Zong Qingzhi looked exhausted, with a gloomy look, weak and powerless.
He had nearly been killed by Yang Fei's card, with thick bandages around his neck, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
With Qingmen already destroyed, Zong Qingzhi's position as Sect Leader had fallen drastically.
Behind him, two attendants also followed, both injured and bandaged.
Strangely, although Zong Qingzhi didn't look well, his face was full of arrogance.
He sat grandiosely opposite Li Yuanhe, his eyes fixed on Li Yuanhe.
"Brother Li, my Qingmen has suffered a great calamity, and now we look forward to Facing Heaven Gate extending a helping hand, only then can we show the camaraderie of the Four Gates."
Li Yuanhe smiled faintly.
"Brother Zong, I deeply sympathize with your misfortune."
"But you also know, Facing Heaven Gate has always conducted business properly these years, and no longer meddles in affairs of the Mortal World."
Zong Qingzhi coldly chuckled, "So Brother Li plans to sit back and watch?"
Li Yuanhe sighed.
"It's not that I neglect the camaraderie of the Four Gates, it's just that it has taken great effort for Facing Heaven Gate to wash our hands of the past."
"If I'm going to have my brothers meddle in the matters of the Mortal World, then they'll need corresponding benefits, you understand what I mean, don't you?"
Zong Qingzhi looked at Li Yuanhe with indifference, his tone filled with sarcasm.
"So after all this, Brother Li wants to loot a burning house, eh?"
"But I can fully understand Brother Li's idea, I would do the same."
Saying this, he waved his hand, and one of the attendants behind him handed over a briefcase.
Zong Qingzhi took out a contract from the briefcase and threw it on Li Yuanhe's desk.
"This kid and I are arch-enemies, if Brother Li can help me get rid of him, Changfu Gold Firm will be transferred to Facing Heaven Gate."
Li Yuanhe sneered, "Sect Leader Zong, such grand gestures."
"But honestly, our Facing Heaven Gate does not lack those tens of millions, you better find someone else."
Zong Qingzhi sneered, "Who doesn't know, the largest influence in your Facing Heaven Gate is within the prison."
"For so many years, the Four Gates have been branches of the same tree, you can't hope to stay uninvolved."
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of several of Li Yuanhe's experts turned cold.
With Qingmen defeated, yet Zong Qingzhi still held himself high above, making everyone uncomfortable.
Li Yuanhe's face also turned cold, his eyes narrowing with a blade-like expression.
"Zong Qingzhi, do you still think you are the Qingmen Sect Leader of the past?"
"If it weren't for our past ties, you'd not be walking out of here today."
He couldn't be bothered to hit someone when they're down, to ruin his own reputation, so he waved his hand.
"Get out before I change my mind!"
Li Yuanhe shouted angrily, startling the two attendants behind Zong Qingzhi, who stepped back in fear.
Zong Qingzhi burst into laughter, "Li Yuanhe, do you recognize this thing?"
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, revealing a Token.
On the Token, there was an image resembling a sea monster, with the head of a human and the body of a snake, a beautiful face, and hair like drifting seaweed.
Li Yuanhe's eyes widened, suddenly as if struck by Thunder Strike, his face turned deathly pale.
His voice became sharp and frantic, "Imperial Father... Imperial Father is here?"
He turned and looked around, as if something terrifying might emerge from some corner.
Behind Li Yuanhe, the experts of Facing Heaven Gate were completely astonished.
They had never seen the normally harmonious and prosperous Li Yuanhe show such a terrified expression.
One elder couldn't stand it any longer and strode towards Zong Qingzhi.
"Our Sect Leader told you to get out, didn't you hear?"
He reached out to grab Zong Qingzhi's lapel, actually preparing to engage in combat.
Zong Qingzhi remained still, holding the Token, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and a mocking expression on his face.
Li Yuanhe suddenly intervened, grabbing the elder's hand and coldly grunting.
"Elder Wang, what are you doing?"
Elder Wang was stunned, unable to believe that the usually kind and approachable Li Yuanhe would suddenly act against him.
Zong Qingzhi snorted coldly and said, "Slap him until I'm satisfied."
Li Yuanhe's body shook, turned around with an expressionless face.
Seeing his demeanor, Elder Wang immediately withdrew cautiously.
"Sect Leader, what are you going to do?"
Li Yuanhe gritted his teeth and suddenly moved like lightning.
He grabbed Elder Wang's left arm, and with a loud crack, dislocated his elbow joint.
Despite Li Yuanhe's normally amicable and kindly appearance.
Once he took action now, it was incredibly merciless.
After succeeding with one move, he swept his leg across.
Elder Wang's two shins snapped with a loud crack, causing him to kneel down.
Elder Wang screamed, and with his remaining intact hand, threw a punch at Li Yuanhe.
Li Yuanhe caught his wrist with a firm grip, and with a loud crack, broke his wrist bone.
He then heavily slapped Elder Wang's face.
This slap sent Elder Wang's teeth flying, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Li Yuanhe with extreme terror, "Sect Leader, spare me! Spare me!"
