Chapter 149 If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself.
Yue Feng walked up to Lin Pingzhi and Luo Jing and sighed, "It seems this road is impassable. Brother Luo, do you know the way here?"
Luo Jing snapped out of his daze and nodded: "I know you. Where does Brother Yue want to go?"
Yue Feng thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the locations of both secret passages. I can handle the rest by myself. Pingzhi, take Brother Luo to the White Horse Escort Agency later to meet up with Brother Xie and Brother Ma. Once this matter is completely over, send Brother Luo back to the Six Doors."
Although Lin Pingzhi and Luo Jing wanted to help Yue Feng, they believed he must have his reasons for making such an arrangement. They both agreed in unison. Luo Jing, dragging his weakened body, personally pointed out the entrances to the two secret passages to Yue Feng.
After Lin Pingzhi left with Luo Jing, Yue Feng considered it for a moment and decided to go check out the Beggars' Sect's branch first. In his impression, Chang Gaizhi was much more powerful than Xue Yu.
Chang Gaizhi, as the vice leader of the Black Clothes Society, did not return to headquarters to report the failure of tonight's operation. What is holding him back? Or what else does he want to do?
This question made Yue Feng feel uneasy, so as soon as he entered the secret passage, he sprinted forward at top speed.
In no time, a set of steps appeared at the end of the field of vision. Yue Feng stepped onto the steps and found that the top of the steps was a thick steel plate, which was locked tightly by a mechanism. Dull footsteps came from above the steel plate, as if someone was walking on the ground.
Yue Feng pressed his ear to the underside of the steel plate and heard someone say, "Elder Chang, is what you say true? Is it really true that Yue Feng stole the manual of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?" It was Xie Feng's voice.
Chang Gaizhi's voice then rang out: "Chief, I only recently learned that the brothers who discovered the manual had seen Yue Feng in the vicinity."
"They didn't recognize Yue Feng at the time and thought he was just an ordinary passerby. It wasn't until Yue Feng came to our branch as a guest and demonstrated his palm technique that they suddenly realized what was going on and immediately exposed him to me."
"Chief, you may not know, but Yue Feng's martial arts skills are diverse and far exceed the boundaries of the Huashan Sect. If he weren't used to such underhanded and ruthless methods, how could he possess so many unique skills? Therefore, I believe that this matter is most likely the work of Yue Feng."
Jie Feng pondered, "But if he did it, why would he bother showing up at the branch headquarters? Wouldn't that be superfluous?"
Chang Gaizhi said, "Everyone knows that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is the ultimate skill of our Beggars' Sect. Even if Yue Feng has learned it, how dare he use it in front of others? Only by putting on a show and pretending to have found the manual for us can we avoid this worry."
"Not only that, he can also use this opportunity to do us a favor. The favor of the number one gang in the world, hehe, not just anyone can do that."
Jie Feng said, "Elder Chang, your deduction is not without merit, but how can we verify it?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman's voice said, "Chief Jie, you've been chatting with my old Chang for quite a while now, you must be thirsty, right? A couple of days ago, a friend of his sent him some Wuzi Mountain tea, I heard it's of good quality, why don't you try some?"
Xie Feng said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Madam Chang. I won't stand on ceremony then." He gulped down his tea. Madam Chang said, "You two chat, I'll go cook you a few side dishes. We can have a drink after you've finished chatting." With that, she withdrew.
As Yue Feng listened, he fumbled around under the steel plate for a long time, but he still couldn't find the mechanism to control it. It seemed that the steel plate could only be opened from the top, which meant that there must be a highly confidential place on top of the steel plate.
He looked around; all four sides were earthen walls. He immediately opened the panel, spent 140 points, and raised the Maha Vajra Finger to its peak. He then closed the panel and began gripping the walls.
He used his Purple Flower True Qi to activate the Maha Vajra Finger, his hands like two iron claws, rising and falling, grabbing handfuls of hard soil from the wall and throwing them behind him. He dug silently and swiftly. Due to his earlier distraction, he missed Chang Gaizhi's words, only hearing him say:
"...That's how it is. What do you think, boss?"
Jie Feng replied vaguely, "Yue Feng is the young master of the Huashan Sect and also a guest elder of the Six Doors. He holds a high position in the martial arts world. Let me think about this matter carefully before making a decision."
"Yes." Chang Gaizhi's tone was unreadable. "Chief, actually, besides the matters concerning the Master and Yue Feng, there's another matter I wanted to discuss with you..."
Jie Feng sighed and said, "Elder Chang, I know you've been longing for me to teach you the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. But do you know that your close ties with the Eastern Depot over the years have already caused discontent among many of our elders?"
"They say...they say you want to use the power of the Eastern Depot to seize my position, and then lead the entire Beggars' Sect to join the Eastern Depot, using it as a stepping stone for your advancement in officialdom. I naturally don't believe what they say, but I don't dare to teach you the palm technique at this time and provoke them."
"Besides... your 'Vermilion Hand' skill has reached its highest level, which may not necessarily be inferior to my incomplete Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."
Chang Gaizhi suddenly sneered twice and said, "In that case, Chief, please give me some pointers on my palm technique and see if there's anything I can improve in my Vermilion Hand skill."
With a sharp "crack," the two exchanged blows. Xie Feng exclaimed in surprise, "You—you didn't use the Cinnabar Hand technique, you used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms! You stole the manual!"
Chang Gaizhi sneered repeatedly: "That's right! This is the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms that I've been longing for! If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself! Jie Feng, you're just a useless person, you deserve to die under my palm today!" As he spoke, the sound of billiard balls clanging loudly arose, and the two of them started fighting in a very lively manner.
In the midst of the fight, Xie Feng suddenly shouted, "Chang Gaizhi, you despicable villain, you actually poisoned the tea!"
Chang Gaizhi laughed heartily: "Jiefeng, you're like an eighty-year-old woman trying to teach a child a lesson. If you hadn't been poisoned beforehand, my Dragon Subduing Palm technique, being a novice, probably wouldn't have been able to defeat you."
At this moment, Yue Feng changed from digging horizontally to digging vertically, and his fingertips touched something cold and hard—the stone slab on the ground. Jie Feng suddenly groaned, seemingly injured. Chang Gaizhi burst into laughter and stepped onto the slab.
Yue Feng unleashed the perfected Maha Vajra Finger technique, his five fingers forming claws that shattered the floor, and grabbed Chang Gaizhi's ankle. Chang Gaizhi never dreamed he would be attacked like this; before he could react, Yue Feng had already pulled his entire leg down.
Yue Feng used a powerful blow to shatter the bones of Chang Gaizhi's good leg, and a scream of agony echoed from the ground. Chang Gaizhi was both in pain and furious, and with a surge of power, he slammed his palm into the ground.
Although Yue Feng couldn't see the situation on the ground, he could roughly guess what was going on. He raised both palms to meet the attack. The stone slab around which Yue Feng had already dug had shattered into pieces, and it instantly crumbled under the impact of the two powerful blows.
Despite his severe injuries, Chang Gaizhi was no match for Yue Feng's strength. He was thrown to the side, spitting out blood that stained his chest.
