The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 499: The Power of Bi'an
Tianzong is a mysterious organization founded by Xiaoyao Hou.

There are thirty-six incense masters and sixty-two deputy incense masters, each of whom is a martial arts master in charge of a certain area.

However, these people do not interact with each other on a daily basis. Only Xiaoyao Hou knows their names, and he is the only one who can give them orders.

This is a secret organization that even its insiders are unaware of.

Even though Li Chaofeng already knew several names, it was extremely difficult to find any clues from outside.

But what if the one investigating Tianzong is another organization with a longer history and is more mysterious than Tianzong?

The Qinglong Society is a mysterious gang that has existed in the martial arts world since the beginning of the martial arts world.

Even Master Kumei, the de facto leader of the Huashan Sect, was just a hidden stake thrown out by the Qinglong Society.

When she left the Qinglong Society and joined Huashan, she was just a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

The Qinglong Society may never ask Master Kumei for help, but the Qinglong Society will always be the dark cloud hanging over Master Kumei's head.

Things like background are often not obvious.

But when it really breaks out, you will know how terrible it is.

In just three days, Bai Yujing, who knew nothing about Tianzong, already knew the name of Tianzong's leader and the areas where Tianzong members carried out their daily activities.

The leader of the Tian Sect, Xiaoyao Hou, calls himself Young Master Tian. He has leaders of many sects under him, and even masters from the nine major sects have joined his team.

The place where they usually appear is only in Shanxi area.

After receiving the news, Bai Yujing gave it to Li Chaofeng, and at the same time felt that Li Chaofeng was making a fuss out of nothing.

Tianzong is very powerful because no one knows its origins or what they are doing.

But in front of the Qinglong Society, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has influence throughout the Central Plains, it is just a force that cannot be any smaller.

It's really small. Thirty-six incense masters sounds like a lot, and most of them are just first-rate in skills. Zhao Wuji of the Xiantian Wuji Sect is already a good player in the Tianzong.

But in front of the nine major sects, his skills are not even as useful as the name of his sect.

There are more disciples from various sects who are not even as good as Zhao Wuji and can barely be called first-rate.

The Qinglong Society has 365 branches. If one wants to become the master of one of them, one must have at least first-rate skills.

The only person in Tianzong who is worthy of the attention of the martial arts world is the mysterious and unpredictable Xiaoyao Hou.

A mouse that hides underground every day will always be just a mouse.

How to compare with the Azure Dragon which can be big or small, rise or hide?

Li Chaofeng looked at several familiar names, and his vigilance towards the Qinglong Society increased to a higher level.

Perhaps even Xiaoyao Hou himself is not clear about how many threads the Qinglong Society has thrown out decades ago in Tianzong, and how many tangled threads are connected to it that cannot be cut or untangled.

The same is true for the Shenlong Gang.

But now is not the time to think about the Qinglong Society. Li Chaofeng looked at the note in his hand, frowned, and began to think.

"Shanxi?"

Bai Yujing looked at Li Chaofeng's serious expression and explained with a smile.

"Shanxi has always been the sphere of influence of the Peng family. Because the Peng family only accepts members of their own family, the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Sword is only passed down to the descendants of their own family."

"All the forces followed suit, not teaching outsiders and being wary of outsiders."

"At the same time, Shanxi is mountainous, and many bandits occupy the main roads in the mountains and rivers. They make a living by looting on a daily basis, which makes the people more vigilant against strangers."

"The parties are unwilling to communicate with each other, and the bandits in the mountains have cut off the gossip, so it's a good place to hide."

Li Chaofeng quickly came back to his senses after listening to Bai Yujing's explanation and asked with a smile.

"But you still found the trace of Xiaoyao Hou. It seems that the price you paid was not small. What do you want?"

The price that Qinglong would pay in this search for information was not high, but it was not small either.

Forces united in the name of family often do not need to explain their actions internally.

Whatever the elders say, just do it.

The Qinglong Society wanted to gather information in Shanxi, but it took decades of secret agents to get some results. The only thing that was useful to Li Chaofeng was an address.

Seeing that Li Chaofeng got the address and was about to pay the reward, Bai Yujing just waved his hand and smiled.

"The Dragon King single-handedly repelled the invasion of the Demon Cult. Compared to what the Dragon King did, no matter how much the Azure Dragon Society paid, it is nothing to mention."

Li Chaofeng smiled: "But free things are always the most expensive." "You still have to order something, so that I can feel at ease."

When Bai Yujing heard this, his face froze for a moment, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, but said helplessly.

"We are just helping each other, why is the Dragon King so resistant?"

Li Chaofeng smiled: "So, what does Boss Qinglong want me to do? Can you tell me now?"

Bai Yujing was silent, but thought for a while and then smiled.

"The fact that there is a Xiaoyao Hou in Shanxi is because everyone is fighting on their own and they don't know what's going on with each other."

"That's what Boss Qinglong wants, but how about the Shenlong Gang and Qinglong Club exchanging some information on a daily basis?"

Li Chaofeng shook his head, his eyes very serious.

"When Li does things, he always keeps everything to himself."

"Given the capabilities of the Qinglong Society, I'm afraid that if I tell you today, Boss Qinglong will know about it tomorrow."

"This is not a good thing. Brother Yujing should change it."

Is there anything that cannot be told to others?

Bai Yujing looked at Li Chaofeng's expression without changing his expression, with only distress and helplessness in his eyes.

The Shenlong Gang has tens of thousands of disciples spread across both sides of the Yangtze River, and each of its branches operates independently.

Li Chaofeng intimidated the martial arts world in the name of the Demon Dragon, and the Shenlong Gang did not maintain its superficial dignity. The leader of a gang could order the governor of a state around.

This kind of gang should be feared by the world like a demon sect.

But the Shenlong Gang was fair and strict to the people, and would even take direct action to save the people when they encountered a disaster.

When the people's will is of no use, all you see are ants.

When it is used, it is like a raging flood that no one can stop.

The Shenlong Gang did cause a lot of public resentment, but most of it was outside, not inside.

Therefore, the martial arts world feared the gang and the imperial court hated it, but no one dared to do anything against the Shenlong Gang.

This is unreasonable because human nature is greedy.

Even if a good-natured student who has read the books of sages and passed the imperial examinations rises to prominence and becomes a prefect of a state, he can easily turn into a bully who oppresses the people.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. No matter how well the rules are established, they are no match for the treacherous human heart.

Cheating superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates has always been the exclusive domain of local tyrants.

Li Chaofeng intimidates the world in the name of the evil dragon, and his subordinates bully men and women without even needing a name.

But Li Chaofeng prevented this from happening. The helmsmen in various places acted according to the orders of the Dragon King and never made any mistakes.

Just because of one thing, the Shenlong Gang can bully the government, but once they bully the people and cause public resentment, the Shenlong Gang headquarters will send people to deal with it.

This is the power that belongs uniquely to Li Chaofeng, the Bi'an Dragon King.

The Dragon's Secret Guard.

Even Suanni Longwu, who has been stationed in Anqing for many years, only knows of their existence but does not know their exact number.

I don't even know how they communicate with each other.

Li Chaofeng hid this group of people very deeply, so deeply that only a few people knew about it.

But everyone knows that no matter how far the distance between the Shenlong Gang branch and the main headquarters is, messages can be transmitted instantly.

No one can deceive Bi'an's eyes, and no one can escape Li Chaofeng's pursuit.

Under the supervision of the Shenlong Secret Guards, the Shenlong Gang has always had only one voice and only one rule.

Countless people want Li Chaofeng's Thousand Blades Demonic Sword, thinking that as long as they get the Thousand Blades Demonic Sword, they can replace Li Chaofeng and become the new overlord of the world.

But what the Qinglong Society wanted was never the world's number one artifact in Li Chaofeng's hands, but the means of communication of the Shenlong Secret Guard.

This is the basis for the Shenlong Gang to surpass the Qinglong Society in just a few years.

However, when it comes to the issue of the Shenlong Secret Guards, Li Chaofeng didn't even trust Long Wu, so Bai Yujing naturally had no right to get involved.
