Because Ye Ge had the Blood Flame Stone in his hand, nobody nearby dared to act rashly. They ushered Ye Ge into the hall like this.
Nan Feng glanced around the hall. In the middle was a statue of General Guan Yu, flanked by two fierce Azure Dragons, their teeth particularly prominent. Between the dragons, a tiger skin chair was situated. This chair was likely the gang's most respected seat, probably the leader's spot.
After the butler had ushered Ye Ge and Nan Feng inside, he ushered them onto two vacant guest chairs while ordering a servant to pour tea.
Meanwhile, the black-clothed men outside started flooding into the hall. The glint of their large knives filled the room. If Ye Ge or Nan Feng made any kind of movement, they were likely ready to pounce.
However, Ye Ge was clutching the Blood Flame Stone at the moment. If they dared to rush at him, he would smash the stone. Hence, none of them dared act rashly.
This created a tense standoff.
