Chapter 911
One Chess Piece
"What nonsense are you talking about? If the stronghold changes hands, that's a big deal. They would definitely notify the brothers. We didn't receive any news beforehand, which doesn't make sense!" someone else said.
"That's right. Changing ownership of a mountain stronghold is always a big deal. It's impossible for the master to be replaced so quietly!"
"But look, Master Xie is already sitting in that chair. Isn't that obvious? It means the stronghold has changed hands. Otherwise, who would dare to sit so openly in the main seat!"
"Yes, yes, who knows what's going on up there? Maybe they've already changed hands in private and we don't even know it!"
"That's right! With Master Xie's strength so formidable now, we should have handed over the position of leader of our stronghold to him long ago!" The person who said this was, of course, Master Xie's lackey, whose purpose was to incite people.
"Yes, yes, Master Xie has subdued several vampire beasts, and his strength is unmatched. The position of leader is undoubtedly his!"
At this moment, the lackeys in the crowd who favored Master Xie shouted.
Meanwhile, another group defended their leader, saying, "There can only be one leader in this stronghold, and that is Leader Long. Leader Long is kind-hearted and always treats us brothers very well. We will not let Leader Long down!"
"Yes, once when Chief Long learned that my elderly mother had run out of food, he specially sent some brothers to deliver it to her. We would never betray someone who cares about us brothers like that, nor would we ever recognize someone else as our master!"
"That's right. Although we are bandits in name only, we have no choice but to do so in this chaotic world. We usually do good deeds such as robbing the rich to help the poor and eliminating evil. Boss Long has done countless good deeds. We only recognize Boss Long!"
For a moment, the brothers standing below split into two groups, each arguing endlessly from their own standpoint!
Master Xie sat in his chair and shouted at the crowd below, "Shut up, all of you!"
Upon hearing Master Xie's roar, most of the brothers who were arguing below dared not say anything more, with only a small number still arguing incessantly.
Master Xie glared at the crowd below and angrily rebuked them, "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you want to personally experience the power of my Vampire Beast?"
When the brothers below heard Master Xie bring out the most terrifying vampire beast, they were completely terrified, and a deathly silence fell over the area.
Seeing that everyone below had quieted down, Master Xie took out the token he had taken from the chief's waist yesterday, held it high in his hand, and said to the brothers below with an imposing air, "With this token in hand, from now on I, Xie, am the master of this stronghold. You must all obey me. Anyone who disagrees, step forward!" Those who were already obedient to Master Xie naturally had no objections, but the other chiefs and some who were loyal to the chief were very dissatisfied with Master Xie's actions.
However, Master Xie's strength was too great, so they could only hide their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts and dare not speak out. This included the other leaders, who had witnessed Master Xie use his vampire beast to drain the fourth leader's life essence in an instant. They could not fight against such a powerful opponent, at least not now.
At this moment, a man who had once received help from the leader stepped forward and said sharply to Master Xie, "You shameless bastard, I'm going all out today! Even if I die today, I will never obey you, you son of a bitch!"
Master Xie glanced at the man, smiled faintly, and said nothing. Instead, he made a gesture to one of his vampire beasts.
Upon seeing Master Xie's gesture, the giant mosquito slithered toward the person who had just spoken, then extended its long proboscis and pierced the person's body. In just a moment, the person collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, none of the brothers dared to raise any objections. In this way, Master Xie, with his powerful strength, successfully became the new leader of the mountain stronghold in an extremely violent manner.
Even if the other leaders and those who were loyal to the big boss had any dissatisfaction, it was all forcibly suppressed by Master Xie's violent methods.
Afterwards, everyone prepared a very sumptuous lunch for Master Xie to celebrate his becoming the head of the household.
After the banquet, the other leaders felt as if they had swallowed fly excrement, but had nowhere to vent their frustration. Throughout the entire event, they had not seen the leader at all, and they suspected that the leader might have been secretly killed by Master Xie long ago. However, since Master Xie did not mention this matter, none of them dared to ask. This feeling of pent-up resentment made them very sad.
They hated Master Xie to the extreme and only wanted to get rid of this ruthless killer as soon as possible to relieve their hatred. However, they were no match for Master Xie. This conflicting feeling tormented them every night, making them unable to sleep and unable to get a good night's rest for several days in a row!
That night, Master Xie summoned his brothers to the Hall of Righteousness and declared to them that he would take down the largest rebel force on this mountain. The people Master Xie was referring to were Yan Shouyi and his men.
Master Xie had fought against Yan Shouyi and his group before and witnessed the power of Yan Shouyi's team. Moreover, since they were all in the same area, they had all heard that Yan Shouyi had divine assistance and dared not easily fight against them.
Therefore, after careful consideration and discussion with several of his trusted confidants, Master Xie decided to first send the other leaders of the stronghold and the group of people who were loyal to the chief leader to fight Yan Shouyi and find out his strength.
Since the group of people in the mountain stronghold were disloyal to him anyway, Xie Master didn't care about their lives at all. He treated them as pawns that he could use at any time.
That night, as Master Xie was discussing the matter with his trusted confidant in his room, the second-in-command happened to pass by. Seeing that it was so late and Master Xie's room was still lit, and noticing several figures visible through the moonlight, the second-in-command, out of curiosity, tiptoed to Master Xie's door and began to eavesdrop.
