Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1155 - 429: A Realm of Chaos

"There is no particular reason, it’s just that in the past few months, everyone is rushing to join the Iron Banner Gang, making one’s spine chill. I figured there must be a reason behind it, and I dare not fall behind."

Legan Sect Leader Wang Mingshan glanced around, his eyes filled with shock: "Now that I see it, it is indeed true!"

At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to buzz with discussions.

"I heard that the Iron Banner Gang is about to sweep through the East State, and it will be like the Extreme East Ice City, those who obey live, those who resist perish."

"Is this really true? This old man has not heard of it. However, my family’s arch-enemy has joined the Iron Banner Gang, and I dare not sit idly by."

"Several forces near our family have recently all raised the Iron Banner Gang’s flag, how could we dare not follow?"

"I, however, admire the Infinite Blade Lord’s prestige, just as Master Lu says, a big tree offers a good shade."

While Chu Xisheng was receiving the greetings from many arriving subordinates, he was also eavesdropping on these people’s conversations.

His facial muscles twitched again, thinking, "I hardly believe you!"

Which of these noble families isn’t intertwined with deep and complicated relationships? And which Jianghu forces don’t have a powerful backing?

These forces must have reasons for joining the Iron Banner Gang.

Chu Xisheng then collected his thoughts.

Simply because at this moment, a few more influential figures hurriedly arrived.

First was Tie Mountain Hall Master Lu Jiuli.

’Green Flood Dragon Hand’ Lu Jiuli is a veteran of the gang, originally the Xunyang Hall Master, who led the Xunyang County battles during the Iron Madman era.

After Iron Madman’s death, Lu Jiuli considered retiring and moved to become the Tie Mountain Hall Master, responsible for guarding Iron Madman’s tomb and the Black Iron Ore at Mi Family Manor.

Perhaps due to changes at Iron Madman’s tomb, Lu Jiuli constantly frowned, troubled and worried.

He very much wanted to speak with Chu Xisheng, but constrained by the public crowd, he had to temporarily restrain himself.

Next was Tai Mountain Hall Master ’Corpse Dog’ Li Manshan.

This person is a disciple of the Corpse Mountain Sect and was recruited by Chu Xisheng to join the Iron Banner Gang under the guise of training, taking up the position of Squad Leader in the Iron Banner Hall.

Three months ago, Li Manshan requested orders from Tie Xiaosheng, mobilizing three thousand gang members northward, crushing and securing the entire Taishan County, thereby earning a place among the Hall Masters.

Chu Xisheng was quite surprised by this.

Since joining the gang, Li Manshan has always been meticulous and diligent.

However, this person’s ability and temperament aren’t particularly outstanding, too conventional, more suitable for defense than advancement. Capable of guarding a territory but inadequate for exploration.

Chu Xisheng did not expect Li Manshan to muster such courage, to claim Taishan County with merely three thousand gang members, and to establish a stronghold there.

Therefore, when Li Manshan paid his respects, Chu Xisheng took special note to observe this person.

He couldn’t discern anything abnormal.

Li Manshan remained Li Manshan, his cultivation only reached the Fifth Rank Lower realm.

However, alongside Li Manshan were two masked men, radiating an intense murderous aura.

The two had transformed their potent black aura into tangible armor, enveloping their entire bodies.

Their exposed skin was pale gold in color.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this layer of skin was covered by a faint layer of scales.

Their fingernails were also extremely sharp, gleaming with metallic luster.

"These should be two Third Grade Lower Tier Corpse Kings!"

Feng San squinted his eyes: "Under the master’s command, there are indeed hidden talents."

Chu Xisheng thought about the Corpse Mountain Sect.

This move by Corpse Mountain Sect was unusual, not their usual style for a hidden sect.

What are they truly contemplating?

Why have they exerted such effort to support Li Manshan? What is their intention?

Next was Xunyang Hall Master, ’Eight-Armed Vajra Sword’ Bu Yancheng.

Bu Yancheng received a Talent Card from Chu Xisheng, and his cultivation progressed rapidly, having now stepped into Fourth Grade.

His personality remained as straightforward and bold as ever, but the Xunyang Hall he manages has nearly turned into a Demon Cave.

The several subordinates he brought were all experts from the First Grade Demon Battle Tower, all with brutish facial expressions, sinister eyes, and fierce auras.

By his side was a protector guest elder.

He was a man in his forties, bodily like a tower, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, carrying an eight-foot-long, eight-edged heavy stick.

Upon entering, he carefully looked at Chu Xisheng, then excitedly clasped his hands: "Protector Guest Elder Ba Tianlai of the Iron Banner Gang, pays respect to the Flag Leader!"

The hall suddenly buzzed with excitement.

Unlike other protector guest elders.

Ba Tianlai is not only well-known in Jianghu but is truly an Earthly List master.

He now ranks four hundred and twenty-first on the Earthly List, known as ’One Stick to Set the Sound’ Ba Tianlai.

In the crowd, ’Smiling Tiger’ Lu Ze couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

This is the sixth Third Grade - including those two Third Grade evil corpses, which makes eight Third Grade battle forces!

What is Infinite Blade Lord intending by recruiting so many experts?

Such a small East State, cannot accommodate nor nurture these many fierce individualists!

Chu Xisheng sighed quietly, nodded with an expressionless face: "Please have a seat!"

He thought these people from the Demon Battle Tower should bear no ill intentions.

These people merely fear having no fights to engage in.

They would go to great lengths to provoke disputes.

Over the past year, the Xunyang Hall under Bu Yancheng’s command has been the most restless hall of the Iron Banner Gang.

Recently, after Governor Wang Sheng was found guilty and demoted, the Xunyang Hall has made its way into Jiangnan County, establishing a foothold in this State City.

As Ba Tianlai and others took their seats, yet another figure clad in heavy armor strode in with a dragon-like gait and a tiger-like pace, half-kneeling before Chu Xisheng’s seat.
