Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

"Everyone, concentrate on finding it!"

"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must dig this guy out for me!"

Pei Qinghai's roar echoed throughout the third floor. Except for the men who were fighting with the members of the hound retrieval team, all the other men immediately became extremely alert and frantically began to search for Chu Longtu.

On the Hound Retrieval Team's side, the two sides were no longer fighting each other with guns, but had instead chosen close combat.

Although the entire second floor was empty, Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu's men swarmed in, making the space suddenly cramped.

Also because there were so many people, if they continued shooting, they would easily hurt their companions, so Pei Qinghai's men chose to give up their guns at the same time, and under the leadership of Pei Qingwu, they began to fight in close combat with the six members of the Hound Squad.

The six members of the Hound Squad wanted to continue shooting, but their guns were snatched from Pei Qingwu's men who had just been knocked down by the explosion, and they had limited bullets.

Once the magazine is empty, there will be no extra ammunition to replenish it, and it will be just a pile of scrap metal, so he simply chooses to throw away the gun and engage in close combat with Pei Qingwu and others.

Because the black smoke was diluted, the six members of the Hound Team had no way to use the black smoke to hide their bodies, so they simply stopped hiding and showed up openly to confront Pei Qingwu head-on.

A member of the Hound Team held back Pei Qingwu, while the remaining five members of the team had to deal with the siege of twelve or thirteen of Pei Qingwu's men. The muffled groans from punches hitting flesh continued to sound, mixed with sharp screams, which made people feel creepy.

Outside the battlefield where they were fighting, a circle of Pei Qinghai's men surrounded the battlefield, forming a relatively loose encirclement line, ensuring that even if any members of the Hound Squad wanted to escape, they could definitely be held back in the first place and wait for others to come to support.

However, the six members of the Hound Team had no intention of escaping. They didn't even look back. Even though Pei Qingwu and his men kept compressing their space for maneuvering and forced them to retreat step by step, they still had no intention of escaping.

Pei Qinghai looked coldly at the members of the Hound Squad who were becoming increasingly embarrassed but remained silent, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Old Five, what are you still playing?"

"Take them down quickly!"

"If you want to play, there'll be plenty of time to play after we take them down!"

Pei Qingwu, who was fighting with a member of the Hound Squad, blushed. After forcing back the member of the Hound Squad in front of him with a punch, he turned around and glared at Pei Qinghai with displeasure.

"It's not your turn to tell me what to do, just do your own thing!"

Pei Qinghai looked at Pei Qingwu without giving in and said in a cold voice.

"I'm not qualified to give you orders, but I ask you to pay attention to the situation around you."

"Our goal today is to surround and kill Chu Longtu here, but he is still nowhere to be found. If we let him escape and tell others about what happened here, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Pei Qingwu's face suddenly froze.

If Chu Longtu left here and told everyone what happened here, they would be in big trouble.

Things like the siege of Chu Longtu and the kidnapping of the Tang family were nothing. Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu were not afraid even if they were told to others.

After all, the Pei family and Chu Longtu are now in a hostile relationship, and it is unquestionable to use any despicable means to deal with the enemy.

There is nothing wrong in telling these things, but if Chu Longtu were to tell the truth about Li Jingzong's murder, that would be a huge trouble!

Their original plan was to put the blame on Chu Longtu after Li Jingzong's death and let Chu Longtu take the blame. In this way, they could get rid of the biggest responsibility for Li Jingzong's death. At the same time, they would be displeased by Li Henian because it was their invitation that led to Li Jingzong's death, and Li Henian would put pressure on the Pei family. In this way, they would have a legitimate reason to leave the Pei family, successfully break away from the Pei family, form their own faction, and then prepare to compete for the position of Deacon of the Martial Alliance.

But if Chu Longtu escapes from here successfully and tells the whole truth about Li Jingzong's death, then the two of them will have to bear all the blame.

When Li Henian starts to hold people accountable, Chu Longtu will have nothing to do with it at all. All the responsibility will be on them.

At that time, let alone them wanting to leave the Pei family, even if they suddenly had a tantrum and didn't want to leave the Pei family, Li Henian would definitely hold a knife to force Pei Runnian to expel Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu from the Pei family. Then Li Henian could take advantage of the situation and mobilize the forces of the Li family to frantically hunt down Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, killing them all!

Even if they could escape with their lives by chance, they were notorious and without the Pei family as backup support, they had no way of escaping from the huge power network of the Li family and could only surrender obediently!

When Pei Qingwu thought of this, a chill suddenly swept through his body and he became sober instantly.

He did seem to be slacking off just now because he saw that the members of the Hound Team were not easy to deal with. All six of them were dark force warriors. If he tried to defeat them with all his strength, there would inevitably be casualties, while Pei Qinghai was unharmed. Naturally, Pei Qingwu was unhappy about this, so he deliberately let them win and did not show his real skills.

But now that he suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, Pei Qingwu had no choice but to fight.

"I see. That's really long-winded."

"I'm going to take these guys down now!"

Pei Qingwu spoke in a cold voice, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and an extremely cold and sharp aura suddenly emanated from his whole body. He stared at his opponent not far away and spoke.

"Boy, you're unlucky to run into my hands."

"We don't have time to play now, so I'm giving you one last choice."

"Since you are a dark energy warrior, and it is not easy for you to cultivate, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I can reluctantly accept you as my subordinate and spare your life."

"If you insist on doing this, you can die."

After hearing Pei Qingwu's call, the member of the Hound Team finally showed the first expression since entering Jing'an Hall on his expressionless face.

He just pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing a sarcastic smile, then raised his hand and hooked it at Pei Qingwu, full of sarcasm.

"That was just a warm-up. You don't think that's my true level."

"If you want to kill me, then show me your true abilities."

"Stop barking like that, it's annoying!"
