He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 623 The Next Sovereign

After everything was arranged, the old man stared at them and solemnly instructed: "Remember, when you return to the mainland, you must completely obey He Yuzhu's instructions and arrangements. He will be the next leader of our sect."

However, when they heard this, they showed doubts on their faces and discussed, "But, He Yuzhu doesn't seem to know anything. How can he help our sect grow and develop?"

The old man smiled indifferently, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone, "Well, when the time comes, with the protection of this country's destiny, even people without any skills will be able to learn it right away. Do you understand?"

The disciples sitting around him nodded one after another, their awe evident in their words: "Grandmaster, we understand. Leave this matter to me. After all, we are all for the glory and prosperity of the sect."

The old man looked at them with deep eyes and said, "No need. This matter has to be handled by me. I want to avenge my apprentice who died tragically. Remember, this is the order I gave you."

When the young disciples heard this, although they felt a little bit reluctant, they did not dare to raise any more objections. They could only pray silently in their hearts and continue to concentrate on helping to set up the complicated formation.

Lao Si was not a person who liked killing. His aversion to the smell of blood was almost innate. However, since these Japanese came to him, it was no wonder that he took action. He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

Just as the fourth brother was about to start the killing, the second brother arrived with a group of people in a hurry: "Fourth brother, do you think I came in time?"

The fourth brother smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "You came just in time. None of these people can leave. Second brother, you stay here and watch. Don't let any of them escape."

The second brother nodded, full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'm here, and I won't let anyone go. Just wait and see the show." His words were full of firmness and courage, which made people respect him.

The second brother looked at his men expressionlessly and said coldly: "Alright, don't leave any of them alive, kill them all!"

Following the order from the second brother, the people he brought rushed towards the Japanese fiercely like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

Seeing this, the Japanese also rushed forward without showing any weakness. The two sides immediately engaged in close combat and a fierce fight broke out.

Although the people brought by the second brother had been living in Xianghe, when they encountered these Japanese, it was as if they had met their old enemies. Everyone became extremely excited and their blood boiled.

The Japanese were very confused by the hostility of the people brought by the second brother. They really couldn't figure out how they had offended these people and why they hated them so much, as if they had an irreconcilable feud.

Faced with the fierce attack from the second brother's men, the Japanese fought hard, but due to their numerical disadvantage, they gradually found it difficult to resist.

However, these Japanese did not choose to retreat, because they knew that the formation here was their reliance. So the leading Japanese stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Ask your leader to come out and speak!"

The second brother heard this and looked at the fourth brother behind him coldly. The fourth brother raised his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and then walked to the front.

The Japanese stared at Lao Si and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come here to kill people?"

The smile on Lao Si's face remained. He replied calmly, "Who we are has nothing to do with you. You just need to know that you all have to die today!"

The Japanese looked at Lao Si suspiciously, with a sly look in his eyes, and asked, "Are you from Long Country?"

They secretly thought that if Lao Si and others admitted that they were from Long Country, then they could use this as an excuse to go to Long Country and demand so-called "compensation" from the Long Country government.

However, Lao Si didn't care about it. Before coming here, He Yuzhu had specifically told him not to reveal the name of his country. Lao Si thought, he was just a man who was made up anyway, so it didn't matter what he said, so he raised the corner of his mouth, showing a playful smile, and replied: "What country I am from has nothing to do with you? Let me tell you, I am your ancestor!"

The Japanese obviously did not expect Lao Si to respond like this, and were caught off guard for a moment. They originally thought that Lao Si would surrender obediently out of fear, but they did not expect that this trick would not work at all.

Seeing Lao Si being so tough, the Japanese man's face turned gloomy, and he threatened viciously: "Humph, since you won't say anything, when I catch you, you will know how severe our Japanese torture is!"

The fourth brother was not moved at all. He looked at the second brother beside him and said nonchalantly, "Okay, this guy is too much of a nuisance here, let's just kill him to save time. It will be difficult to deal with him if he is blamed by the higher-ups later."

After hearing what the fourth brother said, the second brother raised his mouth slightly, revealing a cruel smile. He turned to look at his men and shouted, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Go ahead! Kill the little devils. The more you kill, the more rewards you will get!"

The resentment and anger in the hearts of the Xianghe people were like a ignited gunpowder barrel, and they instantly burst out. They rushed straight towards the enemy without fear, as if forgetting all fear and consequences.

The Japanese had never expected that just a few words from them would provoke such a strong reaction from the enemy. What surprised them even more was that this happened on Japanese territory!

The conflict between the two sides broke out instantly, and a fierce battle began. The Xianghe people were originally warriors who were ready to die. They were merciless in the battle, and every move was full of murderous intent. Although these Japanese warriors were usually high and mighty, they were already shrouded in fear when facing such a fierce opponent.

"This is not right! They are not afraid of death at all!" A Japanese warrior shouted in horror, "In my opinion, we should quickly ask the higher-ups to deal with this matter. We can't handle it!"

They were really scared of death, and it was as if the people in front of them didn't know what death was.

However, the leading Japanese warrior shook his head firmly, "Absolutely not! If we ask the higher-ups to come, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for us? By then, what value would we warriors have in existing?"
