Chapter 62: Poison Blood Palm

It didn’t take too long for Huang Xiaolong and his group to arrive at the Green Hawk Gang’s headquarters.

The Green Hawk Gang's headquarters was located on the south corner of the city so it was a little out of the way, but it covered a large area and was bigger than Huang Xiaolong’s Tianxuan Mansion by a few folds.

In front of the main entrance of the headquarters stood two huge stone hawk statues and both statues were entirely green.

But, what surprised Huang Xiaolong was that there were no Green Hawk Gang members guarding the main entrance when they arrived.

One of three Royal City’s biggest gang had no people guarding the headquarter's entrance! And the surrounding area was too quiet.

“As we go in, everyone be very careful.” Huang Xiaolong reminded those with him.

“Yes, Young Master!” Everyone nodded-- Fei Hou and the rest already noticed the strange silence in the air.

As the group neared the main entrance of the Green Hawk Gang’s headquarters, Huang Xiaolong smelled a faint trace of blood; although it was very faint, but he was sure that it was blood.

As they got closer, they would occasionally come across trails of blood on the stone floor.

But despite that, there were no signs of the Green Hawk Gang’s disciples, causing everyone to feel weird and creeped out.

Huang Xiaolong’s brows furrowed.

Soon, they got to the main hall. An empty main hall to be exact. But, on the golden throne center-piece was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows wearing a hawk-patterned robe.

Huang Xiaolong’s group exchanged a look amongst themselves.

“He is the Green Hawk Gang leader, Jiang Wei!” blurted out the Marshal Mansion guard, Wang Ning, when he saw the dead middle-aged man on the golden seat.

Huang Xiaolong quickly walked up, followed by the others behind him. Jiang Wei’s corpse was sprawled on the chair and both of his eyes were shut tightly. There wasn’t any breath left in him, but there was no blood or wound on his body that Huang Xiaolong could see.

A thought flashed across his mind, and Huang Xiaolong raised his palm and hit the center of Jiang Wei’s chest and the hawk-patterned robe exploded into pieces. With the robe gone,

Everyone saw on Jiang Wei’s naked chest that there was a muted green palm print. The flesh around the palm print had started to rot and numerous black-green lines spread out from the palm print towards other areas of the body.

“A very powerful poison palm strike!” All around everyone’s faces were shocked.

“This should be the low-grade Earth rank battle skill, Poison Blood Palm!” Fei Hou added.

Poison Blood Palm!

Wang Ning and the three other guards swallowed loudly.

“Thirty years ago, one of our Luo Tong Kingdom’s County Dukes and his entire household from top to bottom all died under this poisonous palm strike.”

Despite making all efforts to catch the killer, it was as if the murderer disappeared into thin air after that incident and has never appeared again since then. I didn’t expect to come across this again now!” said Chen Yu who was another Tenth Order Marshal Mansion guard.

A County Duke was equivalent to a Huaxia province governor-- a County Duke and an entire household and no less than a thousand guards were killed. The level of turmoil caused by that incident could be imagined.

A light flickered in Huang Xiaolong’s pupils and the matter looked more complicated than he had thought. Jiang Wei being dead was beyond his expectation; moreover, he was killed by the Poison Blood Palm.

Could the person who killed Jiang Wei be the same one who ordered him to send disciples to make trouble at the Li Family’s silk store? And is the killer one of the mysterious people that appeared during Li Mu’s birthday celebration banquet?

“Young Master, how should we deal with him?” At this time, Fei Hou pointed at the middle-aged man, the leader of the group who made trouble earlier.

“Please, please, I beg you, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” The man looked uneasy, anxiously begging Huang Xiaolong for mercy.

Huang Xiaolong’s sullen voice said, “Let him go.”

Everyone was surprised but no one objected.
