At this moment, Peng Jin realized that the second-in-command, Hong Dingxian, had been drinking the whole time and had yet to speak. He could not help but turn around and ask,

"Brother Hong personally captured him. What do you think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Hong Dingxian put down his bowl and looked at the three of them. He solemnly spoke,

"I'm not interested in this. Why don't we put this behind us? This Lin Song is insensible and injured our brother, thus he is being temporarily detained. We'll ask the Wu Mountain Sect to redeem him. If they aren't convinced, we'll deal with them one by one. This is the behavior of a hero."

When Peng Jin heard this, he immediately shook his head, "Brother, you're really stubborn. In terms of martial arts, how can we be a match for the Sect Master of the Wu Mountain Sect? His martial arts are profound and he has been famous for a long time. He even has the title of the First Sword of Jiangchun. If we want the Wu Mountain Sect to redeem him, we have to take the initiative to tell him about this. What if we lose when he comes to challenge us?"

Hong Dingxian frowned and asked in confusion, "If we lose, then we lose. What's so embarrassing about that?"

"Then there's no benefit at all. Don't mention the ransom. In my opinion, we should ask him about martial arts..." Peng Jin directly waved his hand and concluded.

At this moment, a bandit rushed into the hall.

"Four leaders, bad news! Someone is calling for a battle at the foot of the mountain. They say that they want to subdue our Tiger Head Mountain and make the four of you surrender!"

The four of them went silent before suddenly standing up in shock and anger.

"Who is it? Could it be sent by the Wu Mountain Sect?" Li Pei was surprised.

"Nonsense, it's impossible for them to find their way up the mountain so quickly." Peng Jin berated with a frown. "Could it be those bastards from Yellow Pond Mountain? They've been at odds with us for a long time."

Hong Dingxian narrowed his eyes and asked directly, "How many troops are there at the foot of the mountain?"

The messenger had a strange expression as he stammered,

"They claim to be from Red Cloud Mountain. Our brothers have counted three times, and there seem to be only one to two hundred of them. There can't be more than three hundred at most. They're heading towards the stronghold at the moment"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four leaders of Tiger Head Mountain were left stunned by the number.

Shi Dong slammed the table and said angrily, "Red Cloud Mountain? How dare they! How many people are there in their stronghold? It's already nice of us if we don't provoke them, but he's here to pull at our whiskers!"

"Two to three hundred people dare to spout nonsense and want to take down my Tiger Head Mountain? Does he think that our 10,000 people are useless?!"

Peng Jin was stunned, almost thinking that he was hallucinating. He was secretly wondering where Yu Feng's courage came from.

He didn't remember this person being so arrogant in the past. Had this guy eaten the wrong type of shrooms recently?

However, Hong Dingxian did not care about the cause and effect. He only cared about the situation itself. He frowned and said, "Who came from Red Cloud Mountain? Lu Yunzhao?"

The messenger swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "No, that person calls himself Chen Feng. He seems to be that Death Beckoning Yama King that has been the topic of news recently."

The four of them were rendered speechless once again.

"Why is it him?" Li Pei was shocked.

"This Death Beckoning Yama King had worked with the Heavenly King Fortress a few months ago and committed a huge crime in the An family. After that, he disappeared without a trace. Could it be that he went to Red Cloud Mountain?"

Peng Jin gritted his teeth, feeling envious and unconvinced for no reason.

What's so good about that small stronghold that was Red Cloud Mountain... My Tiger Head Mountain is a dignified stronghold in the Lu River area. If such a person wants to settle down, why didn't they come to me!

When Shi Dong heard this, he was no longer angry. Instead, he revealed a look of admiration, "So it's this good brother! This Chen Feng caused a huge commotion in the An family and killed two noble families and the local magistrate. Such a good man suits my temperament. I've always wanted to see him, but I didn't have the chance in the past. I didn't expect to meet him today."

Peng Jin adjusted his mentality and said in a deep voice,

"Brother Shi, don't raise the prestige of others. It's true that this Chen Feng is a good man. If he treated us with respect, I would naturally treat him as an honored guest and invite him to the mountain to drink. However, he came with ill intentions today and brought two to three hundred people to provoke us. How can our Tiger Head Mountain show weakness?! Since he dares to come to the mountain to challenge us, we'll agree. Let's see if he really has three heads and six arms!"

Shi Dong also quickly restrained his admiration and nodded, "Chief is right."

Peng Jin turned to look at Hong Dingxian and said, "Chen Feng is known for his bravery. He's unstoppable. Brother Hong, are you confident in defeating him?"

Hong Dingxian looked unconvinced, and his eyes flashed with fighting spirit. He said, "Who am I afraid of with my golden saber? Let's see if he deserves his reputation!"

Only then did Peng Jin nod in satisfaction. He waved his hand, his bearing heroic as he announced,

"Alright! Brothers, gather 1,500 people and follow me down the mountain. Let's meet this infamous Death Beckoning Yama King! If he dares to underestimate us, let him see the might of my Tiger Head Mountain!"
