Closing the Door to Beat the Dog!

Chen Hu grabbed the blond-haired youth and said, "You lead the way. Where does Tang Fei live?"

"Sir, I dare not."

"Why not?"

"That kid is fierce. No one in our village dares to provoke him," the blond-haired youth stammered.

"Fierce? How much fiercer can he be than us from the Flame Shrine? With us backing you up, what can he do to you?" Chen Hu shoved the blond-haired youth impatiently. "Hurry up and lead the way, or I'll chop your head off with one stroke."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you there right away. Sir, you must keep your promise. Once this is over, you must recruit me into the Flame Shrine."

"That depends on your performance," Chen Hu said.

Wang Tianlong was currently maintaining order with his subordinates. Seeing Chen Hu approaching with a group of people, he quickly went to meet him and said, "Big Brother, do you have any instructions?"

"Have this kid help identify the person," Wang Tianlong said, pointing at the blond-haired youth.

"Did you find them? Which house?" Wang Tianlong asked. "Big Brother, I'm familiar with this area. Do you need help?"

"Just keep an eye on the people. Before this is over, not a single fly can get out."

"Don't worry, Big Brother, I'm watching," Wang Tianlong assured him, patting his chest.

The blond-haired youth searched and identified, then pointed to one of the small courtyards and said, "Sir, it's that one."

Clang!

Chen Hu drew the treasured saber at his waist and strode towards the small courtyard.

The other Gray Robes immediately dispersed, surrounding the courtyard.

Chen Hu walked to the courtyard gate and saw the Flame Talismans pasted on the door. He paused and asked, "Who pasted these?"

"Big Brother, I had someone paste them," Wang Tianlong explained from the side. "I've checked this family. A family of three, an old man and two children. All good people."

"Is that so?" Chen Hu stared at Wang Tianlong, considering the possibility of him being bribed.

Of course, he quickly dismissed the thought.

With his intelligence, there was no need for bribery.

"Yes. I've even eaten barbecue at their house. That kid is skilled at barbecue. I was thinking of bringing him back to show you a good time once this busy period is over."

Chen Hu glanced at the blond-haired youth, who stammered, "Sir, it's this house where Tang Fei lives."

He was terrified. He hadn't expected that kid Tang Fei to have connections with the Flame Shrine.

If he couldn't kill him this time, Tang Fei would surely kill him.

"Tang Fei?" Wang Tianlong was taken aback. "I know him. I even praised his name back then. The barbecue master I mentioned, he's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid. What bad things could he do?"

"Go and call him to the door. I want to see what kind of kid he is," Chen Hu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, I'll go call him now." Wang Tianlong ran to the courtyard gate, knocked hard on the door, and shouted, "Tang Fei! Tang Fei, open the door!"

Creak!

Tang Fei opened the gate and looked at Wang Tianlong with a smile. "Big Brother, what's the matter?"

When he saw the many Gray Robes gathered at the door, his expression immediately became troubled. "Big Brother, aren't there a bit too many people? You know, we roasted all the meat last night and haven't gone up the mountain today. If so many people come at once, we can't host them."

"How about you let us go up the mountain, and we'll go hunt some wild chickens and mountain goats to roast for you Big Brothers?"

"It's not about the barbecue," Wang Tianlong said. "My Big Brother wants to see you."

"You're Tang Fei?" Chen Hu felt a bit disappointed when he saw Tang Fei.

How could a young boy be a Qi Control Realm expert?

"Yes, I am Tang Fei," Tang Fei replied.

"Did you carry a girl back?" Chen Hu asked.

"A girl?" Tang Fei looked confused. "When did I carry a girl back? I only carried back a two-headed sheep."

Chen Hu turned to look at the blond-haired youth. The blond-haired youth immediately stepped forward and pointed. "I saw it with my own eyes. He carried back a girl. A girl in black clothes."

"Did you mistake her?" Tang Fei looked at the blond-haired youth, a brilliant smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Are you so obsessed with girls that you mistook the wild boar I carried back for a girl in black clothes?"

He recognized this kid. He was a newcomer who had migrated to the Hate Mountain District from elsewhere. A few days ago, he had gone to harass An Ning and her mother, and he and Little Fatty had subdued and beaten him.

He hadn't expected him to jump out and stab him in the back at a critical moment, bringing the Flame Shrine people to his doorstep.

"Impossible. I saw it with my own eyes, it was a girl. Not only did I see it, but others did too," the blond-haired youth shouted.

He knew he had already offended Tang Fei. If Tang Fei escaped this time, he would surely kill him. This kid had a fierce reputation and was not someone to be easily provoked.

Since that was the case, he would find a way to get Tang Fei killed and then successfully join the Flame Shrine.

At that time, wouldn't he be able to bully anyone he wanted and play with anyone he wanted?

"Big Brother, it's like this," Tang Fei said, looking at Wang Tianlong, but actually explaining to Chen Hu and the others. "This blond-haired youth harassed a girl a few days ago. I saw injustice and drew my sword to save the girl. He has held a grudge against me and wants to use you to get revenge on me. What a cruel heart."

Tang Fei glared at the blond-haired youth. "Blondie, tell me, is this true? If you don't admit it, I'll go and call the girl here to confront you right now."

"You're spouting nonsense, I didn't..." the blond-haired youth argued, but he was also worried that Tang Fei would actually call An Ning to confront him, and his expression was clearly guilty.

How could Wang Tianlong not see it? He drew the saber in his hand and was about to deal with the blond-haired youth, angrily saying, "It's one thing to bully a woman, but you dare to use a borrowed knife to kill someone! What do you take us, the Flame Shrine, for?"

"Stop!" Chen Hu shouted.

"Big brother, this punk is bullying my brother, let me cut him."

"This is more important," Chen Hu said coldly.

He stared at Tang Fei and asked, "Are you sure you didn't bring back a girl?"

"No. Absolutely not," Tang Fei said, patting his chest as if to guarantee it. "Why would I bring back a girl? She can't eat or drink. Besides, in a courtyard this size, where would I hide a girl?"

"That's right, big brother. I searched last night and didn't see any girls," Wang Tianlong chimed in, supporting the statement. He had indeed ordered a search and found no girls.

Chen Hu pushed Tang Fei aside and was the first to barge into the courtyard.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Search."

He didn't trust Tang Fei, nor did he trust Wang Tianlong.

Since the punk dared to step forward and accuse Tang Fei, it meant he had indeed seen Tang Fei carrying a girl back.

Otherwise, how many heads would he have to lose to the Flame Shrine?

Thus, a large number of Gray Robes surged into Tang Fei's small courtyard.

"Search! Search thoroughly!"

"Team one, go to the east room."

"Team two, go to the west room."

"Don't miss the kitchen or the outhouse."

Wang Tianlong felt a bit embarrassed that he couldn't stop Chen Hu from entering. He had promised Tang Fei during last night's barbecue that he would look out for him and ensure he had a good life. Now, his own subordinate had disrupted the situation.

He looked at Tang Fei and said sheepishly, "It's fine, it's fine. Deputy Officer Chen is one of us. He's just following orders. Let them search; they'll leave if they don't find anyone."

"We have nothing to hide, so we don't fear false accusations. It doesn't matter who slanders us. When big brother and the others come out, I'll cut that punk for you. Who does he think he's bullying? He dares to bully my Wang Tianlong's brother?"

"Hey, Tang Fei, why are you closing the door?"

"To beat a dog."

"Beat a dog? Where's the dog?"

Wang Tianlong suddenly had a premonition and looked at Tang Fei with wide eyes.

Bang!

Wang Tianlong felt a sharp pain on top of his head, then the world spun, and he collapsed to the ground, his face covered in blood.

Little Fatty retracted the hammer in his hand and said, "Brother, it's done."

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Tang Fei asked with concern.

He had a good impression of Wang Tianlong. After all, it was Wang Tianlong who helped apply the Flame Talismans, who told the Flame Shrine that his family of three were all good people, and who had tried to dissuade Chen Hu from searching.

"Brother, I held back my strength," Little Fatty replied.

The punk hadn't expected such a turn of events, nor that Tang Fei and Little Fatty would dare to confront the Gray Robes of the Flame Shrine. He stared at Tang Fei and Little Fatty with disbelief, trembling all over from fear.

He wanted to speak, but it was as if his throat had been choked, and no sound came out.

Tang Fei looked at the punk with a smile and said, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Bang!

Little Fatty swung the hammer at the punk's head again, this time without holding back.

The punk's head shattered, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Hu led his men into the courtyard and saw the woman they had been searching for everywhere.

Phoenix voluntarily walked out from the inner room and stood under the eaves, smiling as she looked at the many Gray Robes before her. "You've come?"

Chen Hu nodded, about to reply, "We've come."

But he stopped himself.

He was the deputy officer of the Flame Shrine's Hate Mountain District, a key figure in apprehending this "demoness." Why waste words with her?

Was he visiting relatives?

"The door is secured, right?" Phoenix asked.

"It's secured," Tang Fei replied, guarding the entrance with a cleaver.

"Then let's get to work," Phoenix said.

"..."

Chen Hu knew the situation was bad. They had been surrounded by these people.
