378: Chapter 377: Blood Banner Order!
In the room, Eagle was in pain, covering his face, and the bodies of Fan Zhongliang and his young wife had not yet completely cooled.
At that moment, Ning Fan entered and, after glancing at the body of Fan Zhongliang, sighed.
Even Zi Hongyu, who followed behind him, couldn’t bear to witness the scene.
After all, Fan Zhongliang had once been a brother with whom they had faced life and death.
To end up in such a state was indeed lamentable.
Ning Fan looked at Eagle, then at the men in black in the room, and turned back to give Zi Hongyu a meaningful look.
“Everyone else, leave,” Zi Hongyu stepped forward and cleared the room.
The bodies of Fan Zhongliang and the bride were also taken away by those ordered by Zi Hongyu, who would find time to bury them later.
After everyone else had left, only three people remained in the room.
Zi Hongyu stood by the door while Eagle’s mood gradually recovered.
“Ninth Master…” Eagle had a pained expression, presumably from having to personally kill a once close brother out of mercy.
Ning Fan patted Eagle’s shoulder to console him.
“Today’s matter was orchestrated by Long Tianze.
Since he wants to play games with me, I’ll join him!”
Next, Ning Fan started discussing serious matters.
Upon mentioning Long Tianze, Zi Hongyu’s expression visibly turned awkward.
After all, he had previously collaborated with Long Tianze and if it weren’t for Ning Fan’s warning, he would have followed Fan Zhongliang to the Netherworld today.
Unlike the awkward-faced Zi Hongyu, Eagle looked serious and nodded solemnly.
“Ninth Master, now that Fan Zhongliang is dead, the East District will definitely experience turbulence.
If we’re going to act, why not crush this rabble with me and Zi Hongyu first, to avoid further complications?”
Fan Zhongliang was the overlord of the East District.
His death would naturally cause a great disturbance; the East District would definitely experience turbulence afterward.
Eagle felt that, in dealing with Long Tianze, unifying their power in the four districts could totally crush Dragon Gate.
But they couldn’t act immediately; they had to wait at least until the unrest in the East District was completely suppressed, thus preventing Dragon Gate Martial Arts School from plotting any further schemes.
“I also think Eagle makes a good point.
The Six Fan Gate can also join forces with Dragon Eagle Hall!”
Zi Hongyu immediately stood up to show his loyalty at this moment.
Ning Fan looked at the two of them and shook his head, “We don’t necessarily need to leverage the power of the four gates.”
Upon hearing this, both were confused.
Without the help of the four gates, how could they confront Dragon Gate?
Ning Fan gave a mysterious smile, “I’ve never considered Dragon Gate a concern.”
His tone was filled with thick confidence, making Eagle and Zi Hongyu even more curious.
At that moment, Ning Fan pulled out a black token from his pocket and flung it toward Eagle.
Eagle instinctively caught the black token in his hand and looked at it intently.
Suddenly, his whole body shook with shock.
“Blood Banner Order!”
“What?
Blood Banner Order!”
Eagle cried out in shock, and Zi Hongyu couldn’t help but exclaim as well.
Zi Hongyu looked over, and there it was on the black token, three big characters—Blood Banner Order!
“It’s actually the Blood Banner Order!” Eagle and Zi Hongyu exclaimed simultaneously, glancing at each other and seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
This Blood Banner Order was one of the most powerful symbols of authority in Jianghu!
Once the Blood Banner Order was issued, Jianghu would surely be filled with blood and carnage!
The old eagle gasped, and shrieked, “Is this the legendary Blood Banner Order?!”
In Jianghu, many had heard of the legend of the Blood Banner Order, but no one had ever used it, and many regarded it merely as a myth.
Moreover, it was said that the owner of the Blood Banner Order was a very mysterious figure, and Old Eagle always felt that this person was even more impressive than Jiuye, that is, than Ning Fan.
But unexpectedly, Ning Fan had actually produced the Blood Banner Order, and had given it to him?
Old Eagle was stunned.
Next to him, Zi Hongyu was gaping, his face blank with shock, deeply shaken, unable to recover for a long time.
“Jiuye, is, is this really the Blood Banner Order?!” Old Eagle widened his eyes, asking in disbelief.
Ning Fan was actually the owner of the Blood Banner Order?
“Yes, this is the Blood Banner Order, no doubt about it!” Ning Fan smiled, seemingly enjoying the shocked expressions of the two.
He was not just the Jiuye who reigned over Zhonghai; he was also the owner of the Blood Banner Order!
Zi Hongyu swallowed hard, stammering and forgetting how to speak.
“The legendary Blood Banner Order, and its owner is actually you!”
Old Eagle looked bitter.
He did not expect that Ning Fan would also be the owner of the Blood Banner Order.
The Blood Banner Order, that could almost command the entire Jiangnan!
Now in Old Eagle’s hand, this palm-sized token seemed immensely heavy.
Compared to the Blood Banner Order, the power of Zhonghai Four Districts did not bear mentioning at all, trivial like a cow’s hair, not comparable in the least.
If Ning Fan wished, he could simply wield the Blood Banner Order and flatten all the forces in the Zhonghai Four Districts.
Of course, Ning Fan would not do that since he had personally cultivated the forces of the Zhonghai Four Districts, unless they all became ungrateful like Fan Zhongliang, intent on forgetting who had empowered them.
“This, this, this…” Old Eagle was speechless, knowing full well what the Blood Banner Order was, as anyone who wandered Jianghu did.
Now Ning Fan was also the owner of the Blood Banner Order, presenting a terrifying background, but that was not all; Old Eagle found it harder and harder to fathom Ning Fan.
Similarly, at this moment Zi Hongyu realized something, feeling envious and resentful toward Old Eagle, but he also understood why Ning Fan had handed the Blood Banner Order over to Old Eagle; because Old Eagle was indeed a man to be trusted, unlike him with his past history.
At the same time, Zi Hongyu grew more reverent of Ning Fan, realizing that compared to Long Tianze, Ning Fan was in another league entirely; he now felt fortunate to have made the right choice in the end.
“Give the Blood Banner Order to a certain person, and that person will teach you what to do.”
Now, to have some fun with Long Tianze, Ning Fan felt it was time to reveal the Blood Banner Order.
Realizing that Ning Fan wanted him to pass it on to someone else, Old Eagle suddenly understood the situation, looking at the Blood Banner Order in his hand with mixed emotions.
Old Eagle’s hand trembled as he held the token, his emotions highly agitated, his gaze filled with admiration as he looked at the Blood Banner Order.
Ning Fan looked at the two men’s exaggerated reactions and smiled.
Their responses were within his expectations.
“Long Tianze, even if you have the Fang Guild, do you have enough stakes?”
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, and two cold glints burst forth from his eyelids.
No one understood the presence of the Blood Banner Order better than Ning Fan!
