On both sides of the hall there is an obsidian pillar every five steps, carved with a square outline of overlapping rings, and in the middle of the gap, the iron frame supports the stove, and the oil fire is blazing, and the dim light of the fire illuminates the hall, and at the same time illuminates the ugly white face of Wen Chou.

His face was coated with a thick layer of powder, but he didn't dare to show his usual smile at the moment, and his eyes dodged in all directions.

Xia Jie propped up his legs, leaned on the stone seat, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Wen Chou, you stand here." ”

Wen Chou's body trembled, and he raised his eyes timidly, although Xia Jie did not have the majesty of the hero, he couldn't help but think of Xia Jie's gaze at Qin Shuang and Kong Ci before, that kind of smile was not a smile, but it was with a feeling that he could see through people's hearts, which made him shudder.

"What are you afraid of? I won't let them kill you, and I won't stop you from shielding those two children, don't you see what I mean? ”

Xia Jie said lightly, Wen Chouchou and Qin Shuang Kong Ci can be regarded as the targets of his internal salvation.

Hearing this, Wen Chou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he squeezed out a smile again, twisted a few steps and leaned over, fanned the fan and flattered: "The great kindness of the gang leader, how can the ugliness not know it, the small congratulations to the gang leader for taking charge of the world, and from now on, the Jianghu martial arts will kneel at the feet of the gang leader and bow down." ”

Hearing Wen Chou's flattering words, maybe Xiongba would laugh heartily, but Xia Jie was not only indifferent, but also felt a little unpleasant.

He frowned, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, it's better for you to say less nonsense about these sycophants, let me ask you, in addition to these two major guard commanders, what else do I need to do if I want to completely control the World Society?" ”

"Huh?" Wen Chouchou was stunned, and after thinking about it, it is estimated that the new gang leader was not worried about the two of them, so he deliberately left his life to achieve the effect of checking and balancing each other.

His eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Ouch, you can rest assured, on weekdays, the ugly and ugly manage the big and small things of the world association, as long as the helper gives an order, the toes of that person in the world will move, and the ugly can be found out for you." ”

Xia Jie heard what he meant, sneered, and said, "In other words, you are willing to be my eyes and ears?" As soon as Xiongba died, you changed your course, aren't you afraid that I won't need you? ”

"The male gang leader is domineering, never trusts others, and the ugly has served by his side for several years, and he has not missed half of it."

Wen Chouchou was quick to speak, and said with a flamboyant tongue: "Now the gang leader is willing to spare Chou Chou's life, and he deliberately left Chou to ask questions, which shows that the gang leader values Chou Chou in his heart, and Chou Chou is willing to serve the gang leader." ”

"Alright, alright." Xia Jie saw that he still had the posture to continue, and hurriedly stopped: "You are the head of the world, it would be good to be able to control this eating, drinking, and Lazar, I'm talking about those leaders, such as people like bats and eagles." ”

Xia Jie has also experienced the convenience of the superior along the way, he doesn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it seems that taking a little effort to control the World Association will undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future plans.

Wen Chouchou is such a clever person, he immediately heard Xia Jie's displeasure, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then changed his tone, and replied:

"The gang leader doesn't know, Ma Ying and his ilk are in the middle and upper strength in the martial arts, but most of them are Qin criminals of the imperial court, and they came to join the Xiongba, which is to take the strength of the Xiongba as a shelter, so if they want to be obedient, the gang leader only needs to show stronger strength than the Xiongba."

Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, of course he knew that force was the best way to suppress them, but he couldn't keep an eye on these people all the time, after all, refining the Fire Qilin and cultivating took time.

"It's as simple as that? So what if they take advantage of my retreat to disobey me or defect? How does Xiongba put an end to such hidden dangers? Is there a way to leave some poison or something? ”

"Don't worry about this, the gang leader doesn't have to worry about this, there are poisons, but they are all some intestinal bone erosion drugs that kill people and kill people, and they can only kill people by relying on this."

Wen Chouchou looked left and right, subconsciously covered his mouth with a fan, and whispered:

"That Xiongba accepted the vote long before they joined the association, and now everyone in their hands is secretly stained with the lives of the rest of the major sects, except to stay in the Tianxia Association and stay under the command of the gang leader, they have no second way to go."

"And such a thing?" Xia Jie was puzzled: "In other words, they are the key criminals of the imperial court, and they are held by the male tyrants, so why are they still loyal to the Tianxia Society?" Isn't it unpleasant to find yourself? ”

"Back to the gang leader, this guy has used the means." Wen Chou and Chou said eloquently: "He first recruited these key criminals without distinguishing between enemies and me, and then sent them to assassinate some disciples such as Wushuang City and Ruyimen, and at that time, even if they didn't want to go, they couldn't get out." In this way, if they betray the Tianxia Association again, there will be chasing soldiers inside and outside the martial arts and the imperial court, and no matter how big the world is, there will be no place for them. ”

From his words, Xia Jie also heard the doorway of this, Xiongba only used a very simple conspiracy, and reflexively pinched these unruly martial arts scum.

I have to say that Xiongba is really a hero, ruthless, intriguing, and martial arts. If it weren't for his superstitious belief in the Mandate of Heaven and being mistaken by the mud Bodhisattva's two criticisms, I am afraid that the world would really be included in his bag.

Xia Jie nodded thoughtfully, there was something worth learning from Xiongba's body, he meditated for a moment, and then said to the bottom of the steps:

"Okay, Wen Chouchou, from now on you will still be the head of your world association, everything is as usual, understand?"

"Yes, Ugly has seen the helper."

Wen Chouchou hurriedly knelt on the ground, his kneeling posture was different from the one knee kneeling of martial arts people, but the whole person knelt on the ground, his hands were spread on the ground, as if he was worshipping the emperor's courtiers.

Xia Jie felt weird, shook off his sleeve robe, and motioned for him to get up: "By the way, the two children before, but Qin Shuang and Kong Ci?" ”

Although he estimated that it was these two people, it would be good to confirm it more to avoid any trouble.

Finally heard the new gang leader talk about Qin Shuang and the two, Wen Chouchou was also struggling in his heart, he sheltered the two before, partly because he cared, but more because he was still alive as a male bully, to avoid being a male bully and settle accounts after the autumn.

Therefore, Wen Chouchou hesitated for a moment, and then affirmed: "The gang leader is wise, they are indeed the daughter of Xiongba, Kong Ci, and the disciple Qin Shuang. ”

After speaking, he struggled with himself for a while, then raised his head and made a gesture of wiping his throat: "Do you want to be ugly and ugly to ...... them?"

"No need." Xia Jie waved his hand, although these two people are not very useful, but they are still an important role in the world of wind and clouds, and he is also ready to stretch his hand a little longer this time and get some more perfect points.

However, after all, Xiongba is their father and master, although they were not killed by their own hands, but it is a fact that the world will be taken by themselves, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not hate themselves for this.

Xia Jie pondered for a moment, and added silently: "Keep them for the time being, you try to make them forget about Xiongba, if they can't do anything, they insist on avenging Xiongba, and it's not too late to kill them." ”

"Yes, helper, Ugly will do his best."

Wen Chouchou was overjoyed again, and hurriedly nodded and agreed. He believed that his three-inch incorruptible tongue could completely brainwash these two little dolls, and when the time came, he would save their lives and make meritorious contributions in front of the helper, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Xia Jie also left the two of them behind in a blink of an eye, after all, they could affect their mission at most, and they could not pose a threat to their lives.

Then, he asked Wen Chouchou about the layout of some world associations and the allocation of personnel, and sent him to retreat.

Those who left Xiongbatang with Wen Chouchou were also Qin Shuang and Kong Ci, and they would live with Wen Chouchou in the future, so as to facilitate brainwashing and avoid disturbing their own cultivation.

Of course, their living standards are definitely no longer as noble as before, from today on, unless Xia Jie makes other arrangements, their food and clothing expenses may be one level lower than Wen Chou's, but they are also much better than ordinary gangs.

When the whole hall was quiet, Xia Jie raised his eyes and looked out the window, it was already late at night, and because the mountain top was higher, the stars and moon in the night sky seemed to be bigger.

Xia Jie chuckled, paced out of the main hall, followed a stone path, got into the belly of the mountain, and after walking dozens of steps, a black closed stone door appeared in front of him, and a smell of sulfur filled his nose.

"I always thought that Xiongba's teaching of Fengyunshuang's martial arts was word of mouth. But he didn't expect that he actually saved a copy of the Three Peerless Learning, which was originally in his practice room. If it weren't for Wen Chou's inability to cultivate, I'm afraid that Xiongba wouldn't have relaxed his vigilance against him, so he accidentally caught a glimpse of such a secret when he accidentally entered the grotto. ”

He pushed his hand, the stone door slowly opened, and the inside suddenly revealed a fiery red light, and when he looked up, this place turned out to be a huge circular grotto, from the door to the middle, there was a straight stone staircase, and some long swords were scattered on the ground on both sides, and the rolling magma was twisted and twisted, flowing through like a river.

In the middle of the grotto, there is also a huge stone pillar, on which some iron chains are locked, under which is a stone platform, and there are short pillars on both sides, where a black incense burner is placed, and the surrounding magma flows here, it is artificially carved into a circular corridor, surrounding the stone seat in the center.

Although the surrounding temperature is slightly higher, for ordinary martial arts people, as long as they use their internal strength, they can resist it, perhaps Xiongba uses this place as a practice room, and he also wants to use the high temperature anytime and anywhere to assist in cultivation.

Xia Jie was naturally not afraid of this temperature, raised his legs and walked down the steps, commenting casually; "Tsk, there are still too few swords inserted in it now, maybe Xiongba moved the peerless sword and a batch of swords here after destroying Bujiazhuang, and this place can be regarded as a sword mound."
