<strong>Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: The Last Remaining Hidden Danger</strong>


    Li Xiaosan screamed and almost fainted, then looked at his leg which had already lost all sensation.


    Li Xiaosan gritted his teeth and yelled, “Xiang Yu, you’re finished, your Hongmen is finished.”


    “Screw you.” Tie Zhuzi kicked Li Xiaosan into the distance, making him crash into the railing.


    “Yan Qing, hold on, don’t sleep,” Xiang Yu said worriedly as he held Yan Qing.


    Although Yan Qing vited the rules and should be executed, at this moment, their hearts softened.


    Yan Qingy in Xiang Yu’s arms, suddenly smiling as he looked at him.


    “Xiang Yu, I admire you a lot, but I also envy you. I don’t want to betray Hongmen,” Yan Qing said weakly, coughing up blood.


    He was now more exhaling than inhaling, clearly on the brink of death.


    “Don’t talk, you have to hold on,” Xiang Yu said with much concern, as Yan Qing had just taken a blow for him. Xiang Yu could feel Yan Qing’s affection for Hongmen.


    He knew that Yan Qing didn’t take that blow for him, but for the stability of Hongmen.


    “I don’t like you; even down there, I’ll keep watching you. If Hongmen is ruined by you, I won’t let you go even after death,” Yan Qing said, struggling, then breathed hisst.


    “Yan Qing.” Xiang Yu shouted, but by now Yan Qing’s body had gone limp, and his body heat had dissipated.


    Everyone was silent, some shedding tears in the shadows. This scene was something no one had anticipated.


    Xiang Yu gentlyid Yan Qing on the ground and only then looked at Jin Guozhong, saying, “Give him a proper burial and look after his family, bury him with honors as a great hero of Hongmen.”


    Jin Guozhong was deeply saddened. Yan Qing had be a Hall Master with him, and seeing him lying there, Jin Guozhong couldn’t help but feel sorrow.


    “Take him back,” Xiang Yu nced at Li Xiaosan and said, then turned to walk outside.


    Xiang Yu knew that since reform was necessary, bloodshed was inevitable.


    Returning to Hongxing Vi, Xiang Yu happened upon Hong Jinbao taking a stroll, leisurely carrying a birdcage.


    Seeing Xiang Yu’s serious expression, Hong Jinbao walked over with a schadenfreude smile and asked, “What’s wrong, hit a snag?”


    Xiang Yu shook his head and said, “Yan Qing is dead.”


    Hong Jinbao paused with the birdcage in hand, his face unable to conceal his grief. But then he smiled and said, “I’m not a Hongmen man anymore; just go ahead boldly.”


    “I’m sorry,” Xiang Yu suddenly said, feeling a sense of remorse towards Hong Jinbao.


    Hong Jinbao shook his head with a smile and walked away with the birdcage. He had anticipated this all along, and perhaps that’s why he quickly ceded the position of Sect Leader to Xiang Yu—to avoid witnessing this.


    Back in his room, Xiang Yu slept soundly, doubting whether his reforms were right.


    These people held deep feelings for Hongmen, and what Xiang Yu did was to push those with dissent into rebellion.


    Not knowing how long he slept, Xiang Yu awoke and went to the hall, finding several people, including Jin Guozhong, waiting for him.


    “Sect Leader Xiang, how should we deal with Li Xiaosan?” Jin Guozhong asked.


    “Hold him for now,” Xiang Yu said.


    Seeing Xiang Yu’s low spirits, Jin Guozhong said, “This isn’t your fault. Perhaps this oue is the best, as Yan Qing wished.”


    Xiang Yu knew Jin Guozhong was trying tofort him, so he gestured for him to stop talking.


    Xiang Yu had weathered many storms, his mind much firmer than they imagined; he wouldn’t lose hisposure because of Yan Qing’s death.


    “Call Yu Honghao over; I have something to say to him,” Xiang Yu said, looking at Jin Guozhong.


    Jin Guozhong nodded and then took out his phone to call.


    At this time, in Sky Thief Rat’s office, he was on the phone.


    “What, Yan Qing is dead? How did he die?” Sky Thief Rat asked, surprised and puzzled.


    The person on the other end described the situation, and Sky Thief Rat mmed the table and sneered, “Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, you’re seeking death.”


    “What should we do?” the person on the line asked.


    “Follow the n. If you fail, don’t bothering back to see me,” Sky Thief Rat said, then hung up.


    Jin Guozhong buried Yan Qing in the back mountain, provided his family with some money, and told them to leave.


    After all, when Yan Qing was alive, he would certainly have had enemies. Now that Yan Qing was dead, they might transfer their hatred to his family; Hongmen needed to ensure his family’s well-being.


    “Sect Leader Xiang, you need to be careful these days,” Jin Guozhong said, looking at Xiang Yu.


    Now was a period of reform for Hongmen; during this time, people were restless, and he was worried about Xiang Yu’s safety.


    “Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Xiang Yu said.


    By 5 PM, Yu Honghao still hadn’te to see Xiang Yu. When Jin Guozhong called him again, his phone was already off.


    Jin Guozhong reported this to Xiang Yu, who quickly asked Poison Rose to investigate, and the result was that Yu Honghao had suddenly disappeared.


    Along with him, several of his close brothers had vanished, while the other Purgatory Hall members remained at their posts.


    “He must be worried you’d eliminate him, so he fled early,” Yuan Huai analyzed as he sat there.


    Xiang Yu turned to Jin Guozhong and said, “Gather the former Purgatory Hall members and let them choose freely. Of course, they can join the ze Squad.”


    The ze Squad was a newly formed department by Xiang Yu, personallymanded by him.


    Now everyone in Hongmen knew Xiang Yu was their Sect Leader and held him in awe. Hearing that the ze Squad was directly under Xiang Yu, they naturally rushed to join.


    Of the three hidden dangers, Yan Qing was dead, Yu Honghao missing, leaving only Sky Thief Rat.


    The Holy Mouse Hall was thergest at the time within Hongmen, and Sky Thief Rat had the highest rebellious sentiments; Xiang Yu hadn’t decided how to handle him yet.


    The next morning, right after Xiang Yu finished exercising, he received a call from Poison Rose.


    “Sect Leader Xiang, I’ve just received news that Sky Thief Rat might make a move on you,” Poison Rose said seriously.


    “Just call me Xiang Yu; I’m not used to you calling me Sect Leader,” Xiang Yu said with an awkward smile.


    Poison Rose coughed awkwardly. Xiang Yu’s series of actions had also earned her admiration.


    When Hong Jinbao was in control, Hongmen was a disjointed mess. Now Xiang Yu was consolidating power in his hands, but Xiang Yu wasn’t a selfish leader. Having such a generous leader made her quite relieved.


    Now that she had news of a possible assassination attempt on Xiang Yu, she immediately informed him.


    Xiang Yu knew someone would likely target him in theing days, so he was prepared, just waiting for them to strike.


    At noon, after Yuan Huai had lunch and was about to rest, a flying knife suddenly streaked toward his back.


    Yuan Huai had been training daily with Xiang Yu, and his body was recovering gradually. Though he hadn’t reached his peak state, he still retained his natural sense of crisis…
