Chapter 37: The Controversy of the Hall Masters (1)

A month later, the Haisha Gang suddenly came with bad news, the Flame Hall Master Bi Tongtian and several of his subordinates were ambushed by more than a dozen masters of the Netherworld Palace when they were out, among which Shi Linyue, the master of the Netherworld Palace, also participated in this operation.

Bi Tongtian and more than a dozen of his subordinates were all killed without any suspense, after all, in the face of the siege of Shi Linyue and more than a dozen of his subordinates, the strength of the Haisha Gang was at an absolute disadvantage. This incident immediately caused an uproar, and the master of the Flame Hall of the Inner Gate of the Seasand Gang was killed, which showed that the Netherworld Palace had already declared war on the Seasand Gang.

After Ye Hailong learned of this incident, he immediately summoned the upper echelons of the Inner and Outer Gates and the Alchemy Hall, and after some conspiracy, he finally decided to first elect the hall master of the Flame Hall, and then declare war on the Netherworld. And the rule of becoming the new hall master of the Agni Hall is very simple, that is, to pass the competition.

There are two qualifications for the contestants, one is the official inner disciple who has joined the Haisha Gang for more than two years, and the other is the disciple who has two merit medals.

The Haisha Gang has tens of thousands of people, including thousands of inner disciples, and only more than 1,000 formal inner disciples, but only about 30 official inner disciples with two merit cards. There is no way to cheat at all, and it is extremely clear which disciple received the medals when, and why, as well as the specific number of medals. If a disciple who owns a merit medal accepts a merit medal from another disciple, he will definitely be found out, because the contestants selected this time are determined according to the records recorded in the gang.

Feng Fan was also among the more than thirty people because he had obtained two merit medals in that mission two years ago, and because he had been an official inner disciple for more than two years. Originally, he didn't want to participate in this kind of boring competition, but when Feng Fan learned about the benefits of becoming one of the three hall masters of the inner gate, he was also moved.

After becoming the head of the inner gate, in addition to receiving 30 taels of gold every month, the wealthy merchants in the various regions under the supervision of the church will also regularly give gold, silver and jewelry, so as to keep one party safe. And this gold has one or two hundred taels every month, plus the bounty of the offering, and two thousand taels of gold are received every year.

After thinking for a while, Feng Fan decided to participate in this seemingly boring competition. In addition to getting a huge amount of gold, Feng Fan also wanted to check his strength in the rivers and lakes.

There are a total of 34 people who are eligible to participate in the competition, and in order for the competition to go smoothly, it is necessary to draw lots first. After drawing lots, the first two people were eliminated, and the remaining thirty-two people were eliminated in pairs, until the person who finally won the first place was the new hall master of the Agni Hall.

On this day, more than 40 people gathered in the main altar of the Haisha Gang, including the three gang leaders, all the hall masters, and the thirty-four people who participated in the competition. A disciple of the Haisha Gang placed thirty-four bamboo pieces on a huge wooden table, with the front of the bamboo pieces facing down and the back facing up. Thirty-two of the bamboo pieces have no traces on the front, while the other two bamboo pieces have the word "one" engraved on the front, and the thirty-four people stepped forward to choose one by one. If you touch a piece of bamboo engraved with the word "one", this disciple will be directly eliminated, and the remaining thirty-two people will participate in the competition.

Looking at the faces of the disciples who were worried about winning the bamboo piece of "one", Feng Fan secretly laughed in his heart, it seemed that these people were all carried away by power.

Feng Fan let go of his divine sense, and he could clearly feel the position of the two pieces of bamboo engraved with the word "one". With Ye Hailong's approval, the thirty-four disciples stepped forward to choose one by one.

When Feng Fan stepped forward as the eighteenth, he did not hesitate to choose a piece of bamboo without any marking, clasped it in his hand, and slowly left the area. After all 34 people were selected, they were personally inspected by the three gang leaders.

Two of the disciples who drew bamboo pieces engraved with the word "one" lowered their heads in frustration under the gloating gaze of the other disciples, and secretly sighed that they were unlucky.

After determining the thirty-two people participating in the competition, Ye Hailong immediately announced the date and format of the competition, and everyone then dispersed. Thinking of what Ye Hailong said, except for Feng Fan, the hearts of the other thirty-one people were as if a boulder had been pressed. Ye Hailong set the date of the competition three days later, in the form of a duel between two and two, life and death are not limited, and a life and death certificate is signed.

There are no restrictions on weapons, because Ye Hailong said that if he didn't go through the battle of life and death and became the hall master, he couldn't take on this heavy responsibility at all. Any disciple who has two merit cards is the top master in the gang, because getting one merit card may rely on luck, but those who can get two merit cards must rely on strength.

In the next three days, Feng Fan familiarized himself with the Golden Bell Jar, Ruyi Jue and other martial arts one by one, after all, under the gaze of many disciples of the Haisha Gang, Feng Fan did not want his identity as a cultivator to be exposed. If any cultivator knew that Feng Fan was fighting against many people in the rivers and lakes in order to compete for the hall master of a gang, he would definitely faint with anger.

Three days later, a huge square near the main altar of the Haisha Gang was filled with Haisha Gang disciples, and the three deputy gang leaders and all the hall masters were sitting at the front. The contestants are followed by the contestants, and then the seats are arranged according to the qualifications of the gang.

This made Feng Fan a little emotional, it seems that the hierarchy in the Jianghu gang is very strict, if other disciples know that Feng Fan, who is about to participate in the life-and-death fight, is actually thinking about this problem at this time, he will definitely be a little speechless. Thirty-two people first entered the lottery, decided their opponents and the order of the competition through the lottery, and then signed the life and death certificate.

After these processes were completed, Ye Hailong announced loudly: "The competition begins. ”

Next, the contestants began to fight to the death in turn. Feng Fan finally came to the square after watching eleven matches that made him almost fall asleep, and after the two sides exchanged names, Feng Fan relied on the strange body of the peak realm of Ruyi Jue and the incorruptible body of King Kong without any suspense, and defeated his opponent after a few rounds. Completely different from the previous eleven matches, this match did not have any bloody scenes, and Feng Fan only threw his opponent out four times.

When the opponent was thrown into a little delirious, Liu Feiying, who was in charge of announcing the results of the competition, finally shook his head helplessly and loudly announced that Feng Fan had won. Although there was no bloodshed, this competition was the shortest and the difference in strength was the widest.

Recalling Feng Fan's strange body style, and the scene of using his body to slash with the opponent's plate axe and throwing the opponent out four times in succession, many disciples had palpitations. If he is in the field, and Feng Fan happens to be in a bad mood today, then the consequences will be very serious.

In the process of Feng Fan returning to his place like a leisurely stroll, many disciples of the Haisha Gang who had been not convinced by Feng Fan in the past were finally convinced.
