In addition, Hong Dingxian was also unhappy about Li Pei’s sudden sneak attack during the competition. It was only because of their past friendship that he did not say anything, but his attitude also became cold towards the other party.

Peng Jin sensed Hong Dingxian’s emotions and knew that he had offended his original second-in-command with his actions.

However, he was not in a hurry. He felt that since everyone had gathered together for many years, they would naturally be closer. There would still be a chance to salvage the situation in the future.

Now was not the time to rope him in. Peng Jin temporarily put this matter aside and looked at Zhou Jing,

“Brother, after we merge into Red Cloud Mountain, what should we do next? Should we move the entire stronghold over or continue to stay in Tiger Head Mountain?”

“Don’t ask me about these trivial matters. I’m only responsible for helping Chief Yu take down the mountain. After I’m done, I’ll take my leave. As for how he will manage it in the future, it has nothing to do with me. After he sends someone to take it, you can discuss it with Chief Yu.”

Zhou Jing waved his hand and replied casually.

This trip was to repay the Red Cloud Mountain for taking him in. He was only responsible for razing the two strongholds and handing them over to Yu Feng. This way, he would be able to repay their kindness. What happened after that would have nothing to do with him.

If Yu Feng could not sit firmly in his position, the Green Forest would not think that this was Zhou Jing’s problem. They would only think that Yu Feng was a burden… Others had already fought for him, but he could not protect it. Who could he blame?

At this moment, Shi Dong suddenly slammed the table and said indignantly,

“I don’t want to care about that useless Red Cloud Mountain! In my opinion, Brother should just become the head of the Tiger Head Mountain and dominate the Lu River. I only listen to Brother!”

When Hong Dingxian heard this, he immediately agreed, “That makes sense! I submitted to my brother, not to Red Cloud Mountain who was hiding at the side and enjoying the benefits!”

He was convinced by Zhou Jing’s martial arts, but who was that Yu Feng from Red Cloud Mountain? What right did he have to order him around?!

Seeing this, Zhou Jing put down his bowl and coughed before speaking with a straight face,

“Don’t mention it! I’m only here to repay a favor, not to occupy the mountain and become the Chief. Since I’ve made an agreement with Chief Yu, how can I go back on my word!”

Hearing this, the few of them immediately felt admiration.

Peng Jin gave a thumbs up and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

“Brother, in order to repay your kindness, you worked hard to subdue the stronghold. But to think that you were not stingy at all and even gave it away to others generously. You’re really a righteous person! In the future, it will definitely be a beautiful story. Who in the world wouldn’t respect you?!”

He asked himself if he could do such a generous thing even if he had the same ability. He could not help but sigh from the depth of his heart.

Hong Ding was both impressed and a little depressed. He asked gloomily, “Then I wonder where Brother is going next?”

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said casually, “This expedition is not only for your Tiger Head Mountain. I also have to go and flatten Yellow Pond Mountain.”

Tiger Head Mountain and the other three were stunned for a moment before they suddenly perked up.

Shi Dong suddenly stood up and said excitedly, “Brother, I’ve wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time!”

Fang Zhen was a little curious and interrupted, “Why? Do you have a feud with Yellow Pond?”

Peng Jin nodded and smiled, “Brother, you might not know this, but Yellow Pond Mountain is very close to us. We’ve always been at odds with each other and have fought several times… Coincidentally, my Tiger Head Mountain has just submitted. Brother, why don’t you let us make a contribution!”

The strength of Yellow Pond Mountain was similar to Tiger Head Mountain. He believed that with Chen Feng’s martial prowess and courage, he could easily take over Yellow Pond Mountain like how he did to Tiger Head Mountain.

If he were to get involved, he would also be a meritorious person after joining the Red Cloud Mountain. His ranking would be above that of the people from Yellow Pond Mountain!

Most importantly, he had already submitted. If he had the chance to drag others down with him, why not!

Seeing the four of them eagerly sign up, Zhou Jing thought for a moment and agreed.

Before the news spread, it would be easier for Tiger Head Mountain to call for a fight since they were old enemies. This way, it would be easier to lure the leaders of Yellow Pond Mountain out.

“In that case, the area around the Lu River will be dominated by the Red Cloud Mountain in the future… They really picked up a huge bargain.”

Li Pei smacked his lips and shook his head with a sigh.

After settling the matter, everyone discussed the plan to take down Yellow Pond Mountain while having their wine.

After eating for a while, a lackey suddenly ran over, as if he had something to report.

The minion hesitated for a moment. Instead of reporting to Peng Jin like usual, he directly addressed Zhou Jing.

“My King, the tough guy we caught a few days ago, wants to see the leaders.”

“Who is it?” Zhou Jing did not know.

Peng Jin explained, “A few days ago, when we went down the mountain to set up our business, we met a pugilist called Lin Song. He called himself a disciple of the Wu Mountain Sect and injured our brothers. Brother Hong captured this person and locked him in the prison.”

“Wu Mountain Sect?”

Zhou Jing was stunned.

Wasn’t this the sect of the junior called Ye Heng from the Ye family of Ning Tian Prefecture? It was a famous sect in Jiangchun, and it was quite well known in the martial world.

What a coincidence…

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, “You locked him up but didn’t deal with him. What are you planning to do?”

Peng Jin smiled awkwardly, “This person comes from a famous sect. We wanted to interrogate him about his martial arts to broaden our horizons, but before we could do anything, Brother came…”

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and said casually, “Since this person wants to see us, bring him up.”

The lackey received the order and hurriedly went down to do his job.

Not long after, Lin Song was brought over.

At this moment, his hair was disheveled and he was in a sorry state. His hands were tightly tied with hemp ropes, and he was even limping when he walked. He no longer had the high spirits of a martial arts hero.

When Lin Song saw everyone, he first glanced at Hong Dingxian with fear before speaking.
