He Xue looked at the somewhat deserted martial arts hall in front of him, his lifeless pupils slightly moving. He looked at his men beside him and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure the murderer came from this shuttle hall?"
"It's confirmed. I got the information from the Health Supervision Bureau. There are traces of the murderer at the scene. The fist style that killed Master Wu Qianqiu is the core technique of the Suozi Fist." The man in black, wearing a dog-head mask, spoke in a very cautious tone. "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone deliberately imitated the fist style to frame the Suozi Pavilion."
"Although the Shuttle Fist is a low-ranking martial arts school, it is protected by the Martial Arts Association. If we, the Dog Mask, attack the Shuttle Fist School without a legitimate reason, it will inevitably lead to a counterattack from the Martial Arts Association." He Xue pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "However, our Dog Mask Association is not afraid of such a low-ranking martial arts school. We must seek an explanation for Wu Qianqiu's death."
The martial arts schools of the Xia Federation have been developing for hundreds of years since their establishment in the Dark Ages. The total number of schools is not large, but there are still about several hundred.
Although this Shuttle House is also a school that has been passed down for many years, it is now like a candle in the wind. It has declined to the extreme, its bloodline is extremely thin, and not even a Force user has been born.
The existing dog face club is strong enough to crush the shuttle hall, but...
The Martial Arts Association behind the scenes is not something the Dog Mask Society can afford to offend.
"We can ask them to hand over the murderer and bring him to Master Wu Jingshen for punishment." The dog-headed man next to him offered advice: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's not appropriate for us to engage in a head-on conflict with the Shuttle Pavilion at this stage."
The new speaker of the parliament has been fighting against dark organizations in various states and cities in the past two years. If there is a full-scale conflict with the Shuttle Hall, unless it can be resolved without anyone noticing, it will inevitably suffer a direct attack from the Martial Arts Association.
"That's good. The Shuttle Gym has been in decline for a long time. Even the current owner is only a fifth-level martial artist. He shouldn't refuse our request."
He Xue nodded. He originally wanted to kill people, but he didn't expect that it would involve the martial arts hall, so he had to settle for the second best.
But now they are here to seek revenge, so the Dog Face Society still shows its attitude.
So he hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to rush in directly.
Beep, beep.
Listening to the incessant alarm, Liu Wentao's face was as gloomy as water. He unlocked the door and pushed it open: "Xianxian, come with me to take a look."
The Suozi Hall is ranked too low in the Federation, belonging to the last tier, and is the kind that may fall out at any time. Therefore, over the years, it has often been challenged by those second-rate martial arts schools, which attempt to use the Suozi Hall as a stepping stone to advance to emerging schools.
Situations like this where someone kicks you out happen from time to time.
But this time Liu Wentao was wrong. The people who came to cause trouble were not challengers, but those who came to demand the murderer.
Xu Xianxian followed her master through the long corridor and saw several masked men standing there from afar with an overbearing look on their faces.
The young students in the martial arts hall were protected by the senior sister behind them, looking at the dog-faced men in confusion.
After hearing the alarm, they immediately ran out to see what was happening, but they didn't expect to be blocked by these masked men.
The eldest sister stared at the leader He Xue with a vigilant expression on her face. She said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "This is the territory of the martial arts hall. You underground organizations are not welcome."
Although she was only a first-level martial artist, she had some understanding of some of the forces and organizations in Hongjing City, not to mention that the characteristics of the members of the Dog Face Society were too obvious.
Dog mask, as the name suggests, is a man in black wearing a dog head mask. It is hard not to recognize this flamboyant and bizarre style.
"Someone in your martial arts gym has killed an important member of our organization." He Xue's voice was soft and as shrill as a woman's. He said calmly, "As long as you hand over the murderer, we will leave."
As soon as these words came out, not only did the senior sister's expression change, but even the students behind her were immediately furious.
"kill?"
"There's a murderer in our martial arts gym...? That's impossible?"
"What is the Dog Mask Society? The senior sister said it's an underground organization..."
"Everyone, be quiet!" Liu Wentao shouted when he saw his apprentice's secret was about to be exposed. He then took a few steps and came directly in front of He Xue. He said with a look of concern, "Whether there is a murderer or not is not up to you people to decide. Without the notice of the Health Supervision Bureau, you are still making trouble here. I can directly sue you for defamation."
He Xue was not surprised to see that even the director had shown up. Instead, he burst into laughter, his laughter sounding particularly sharp. "Director Liu, since you're here, let's not mince words and get this matter straight!"
However, he had a expressionless face, so even when he smiled, it was a fake smile with no real meaning.
"Xiao Wen, take these students back to the training room. You are not allowed to come out without my permission."
Liu Wentao ignored He Xue, but turned around and whispered to his daughter and other students to come.
"good..."
Liu Wen nodded and led the other ordinary students to the other side. From time to time, she looked back at Xu Xianxian and found that she had no intention of leaving. She inexplicably had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Could it be... these people are here to look for Junior Sister?"
She thought so, but she did not stop moving her feet. Following her father's instructions, she led the other students into the training room.
Faced with being ignored, He Xue was not angry and still kept smiling. He watched those ordinary students leave. In the entire spacious hall, only Liu Wentao, Xu Xianxian and the members of the Dog Face Society were left.
