<strong>Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Xiang Yu Skillfully Uses the Stratagem of Alienation</strong>


    Even though Yan Qing said there was no longer any connection, he couldn’t help but have slightly wet eyes. After all, people are emotional creatures, and being in the Hongmen for so many years, he still had strong feelings for it.


    “I’m giving you a chance now; as long as you admit your mistake in front of all the Hall Masters, I can still forgive you.” Xiang Yu said with a calm and smiling expression.


    Yan Qingughed again, augh tinged with a bit of tragedy, but theughter suddenly stopped.


    “I don’t need your chance. Again, if you’re here as a guest, I wee you, but if it’s for anything else, please feel free to leave.” Yan Qing gestured invitingly.


    “You are a person of Hongmen, bearing its mark, thus you must abide by its rules. I don’t care about what you did in the past, but now you have vited Hongmen’s rules, I must take you back.” Xiang Yu said.


    “Take me back?” Yan Qing scoffed with a smile and said, “Come on, I’m right here, I want to see how you’re going to take me back today.”


    “Damn it.” Tie Zhuzi, standing nearby, was furious and grabbed a stick, ready to step inside.


    Xiao Xuan quickly stopped him; since Yan Qing was here waiting for Xiang Yu, it meant he was fully prepared, and before Xiang Yu’s orders, they were better off staying put.


    “You shoulde down now, we can still discuss.” Xiang Yu took a step forward, showing his utmost concession.


    After all, Yan Qing was the Hall Master of me Gang; being in Hongmen for so many years, he has suffered losses if not achievements. If he knows his mistakes and rectifies them, Xiang Yu really hesitates to kill him.


    “Discuss my ass.” Yan Qing shouted, “Listen up, all members of me Gang, drive these people out for me.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, people gathered towards the center, all eager to give it a try.


    At this moment, Xiang Yu stood on a higher ground, looking at the people around and said, “Brothers, you are Hongmen brothers, I don’t want to see everyone ruin each other. You may have heard, I am the new Sect Leader, my name is Xiang Yu.”


    Xiang Yu paused here to observe the reaction of the people around him before continuing, “Our Hongmen has hundreds of years of history; it still stands today because Hongmen has strict rules. As the saying goes, ‘no rules, no Fang Yuan…’


    Xiang Yu spoke eloquently, discussing from national righteousness to ssic cases in Hongmen, then talking about everyone’s current environment, and finally envisioning a future.


    The people around nodded in agreement, and everyone expressed that Xiang Yu’s words were quite reasonable.


    Yan Qing stood above, unable to listen anymore, and then shouted, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, everyone go up and drive them all out. You are brothers of me Gang, from now on, you are not Hongmen people.”


    The crowd wavered; previously, they were proud to be Hongmen people. Now, being asked to leave Hongmen, although silent on the surface, they were genuinely unwilling at heart.


    Many at the scene had attended the candidate conference; they saw Xiang Yu’s formidable skills, admired him, and hoped Xiang Yu would take them to a better tomorrow.


    But now, they found themselves standing against Xiang Yu, hesitating and wavering, losing their decisions at this moment.


    Tie Zhuzi initially held his iron rod ready to act, but now stood quietly.


    If they could subdue these people without a fight, that would be best; this is the legendary ‘winning without fighting’.


    “Brothers, you are Hongmen people; wherever you go, you are my brothers.” Xiang Yu shouted boldly, “Today I stand here to guarantee, as long as youe over, past affairs will be forgiven. I will not let you join other halls; you can directly follow me.”


    Xiang Yu is Hongmen’s Sect Leader. If you directly follow him, only ‘Imperial Guard’ treatment awaits—something they always longed for.


    “Don’t listen to his gibberish; he’s tricking you. Once you really follow him, he’ll make things hard for you.” Yan Qing shouted from above.


    This turn of events was unexpected for him; he thought me Gang members were his brothers, who would follow his lead to leave Hongmen.


    But he overlooked the fact this group still had feelings for Hongmen.


    Xiang Yu ignored Yan Qing’s shouting and calmly stated, “Brothers, think carefully; if you really follow Yan Qing and leave Hongmen, what is your status? Will you reorganize a gang? Establish me Gang? Is that realistic? Will Hongmen allow you to do so? Will Qing Gang allow it? If Qing Gang permits, there’s only one possibility: your Hall Master has betrayed Hongmen to join Qing Gang.”


    Finishing this, Xiang Yu pointed directly at Yan Qing on the second floor. Everyone’s eyes turned upward.


    Yan Qing felt panicked, then pointed at Xiang Yu and yelled, “Nonsense, even if I leave Hongmen, I would never join another gang. Don’t listen to him!”


    The more frantic Yan Qing became, the greater the suspicion people had. Members of me Gang eyed each other.


    Then one person stepped forward, sping his fists in front of Xiang Yu and said, “Sect Leader, I don’t want to betray Hongmen; I want to follow you. Would you really ept us?”


    The sincerity in his words was clear, his eyes earnest, showing his genuine affection for Hongmen.


    Xiang Yu nodded, then walked beside him and patted his shoulder, saying, “I stand by my words, trust me.”


    The man’s eyes moistened, looking up at Yan Qing said, “Hall Master, let’s not leave, I can’t bear to part with Hongmen.”


    Having one persone forward, more followed suit, treating Hongmen as their home, their lifelong career, making it hard to betray.


    At this moment, the eyes of Tie Zhuzi also moistened in the back, though a tough guy, even he couldn’t resist such emotional drama.


    “You’re damned, what do you want? Hongmen is doing well; why leave?” Tie Zhuzi suddenly shouted and walked to the center.


    He threw his iron stick to the ground, pointed around, and loudly said, “Since everyone is Hongmen people, we’re good brothers. Now you want to leave, do you have any conscience?”


    Tie Zhuzi spoke with deep emotion, genuinely not wanting these people to leave.


    “I’ve decided; I want to follow the Sect Leader.”


    “I also want to follow the Sect Leader.”


    “I don’t want to leave Hongmen.”


    Then more people stood beside Xiang Yu; they believed in him, most of whom had attended the candidate conference.


    Of course, some did not step forward…
