The Zhu Xie Association is one of the largest organizations in the current martial arts world, with a total of seven sub-halls.
Among them, the Yanlong Hall is the largest and has the widest jurisdiction among all the sub-halls. The hall master of the Yanlong Hall is also the "Dragon Head" of the entire Zhu Xie Association and one of the founders of the association.
Now, the people of the Yanlong Hall have come to Beiji City at this crucial moment. Ostensibly, they are here to inquire about the "resurrected" Yu Chi Feng. But as for their actual intentions, only the people of the Yanlong Hall themselves know.
The meeting hall of the Beilong Hall is not as spacious as that of Liudu City, but this is Yu Chi Feng's territory.
The person sent by the Yanlong Hall is named Chang Yu, who is one of the Dragon Head's right-hand men. Judging from his appearance, he is a genuine gentleman. If he didn't reveal his identity, Yu Chi Feng would almost think he is a school teacher.
"The safe return of the Beilong Hall Master is truly a good thing. The Dragon Head ordered me to come with gifts to express gratitude. Please accept them, Beilong Hall Master." Chang Yu had a friendly smile on his face.
But Yu Chi Feng felt that the smile was too fake, and not a word of this person could be believed.
Yu Chi Feng turned his head to look out the window, and boxes of gifts were unloaded from the carriage. Among the gifts were medicines and tonics for Yu Chi Feng, as well as weapons for the entire Beilong Hall.
Although the gifts were generous, Yu Chi Feng was even more unhappy.
It's like an emperor bestowing rewards...
"Thank you for the Dragon Head's concern." Yu Chi Feng responded with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. "It is my honor that Deputy Hall Master Chang came to deliver the gifts in person."
"The Beilong Hall Master has contributed a lot to the Zhu Xie Association, so of course we should come to show our concern. I also want to check the recent situation of the Beilong Hall and report back to the Dragon Head." Chang Yu said again.
Yu Chi Feng secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking: What I did has nothing to do with the Zhu Xie Association. It's all for the stability of the martial arts world. How come in his mouth, it becomes a contribution to the Zhu Xie Association?
"It should be." Yu Chi Feng suppressed his unhappiness and said.
"In fact, the reason I came this time is also because I heard that there was an internal dispute in the Beilong Hall, and there was internal unrest?"
Perhaps this is the real purpose of Chang Yu's visit. Yu Chi Feng suddenly became vigilant.
"That's right. After all, I've been away for a long time, and no one has taken over the position of the hall master. It's inevitable that people's hearts will be scattered and unrest will occur." Yu Chi Feng did not mention the matter of the Hanlong Hall. He knew that the upper echelons of the Zhu Xie Association had colluded. If he clearly showed his opposition to the Hanlong Hall at this time, it would also mean being an enemy of the Zhu Xie Association.
At least not now.
He was the only one who survived the ambush by the Hanlong Hall, but he still has no evidence. The Beilong Hall is also deeply in turmoil, and the mole has not been found.
But sooner or later, he will make the Beilong Hall break away from the control of the Zhu Xie Association.
"So that's how it is. If there is any need for help, feel free to mention it." Chang Yu unconsciously rubbed his fingers twice, indicating that he was thinking about something just now.
"It's okay. It has been dealt with properly for now. But I still don't understand why the brothers in the Beilong Hall, who have always been treated well, had the intention to rebel? And with whom did they collude to take my life? Could it be that there is a problem with my management method?" Yu Chi Feng deliberately frowned, touching his chin, looking troubled.
"This is not the hall master's fault." Chang Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes, the smile remaining unchanged. "People's desires are unlimited. As for with whom they colluded, perhaps it is not important."
Yu Chi Feng frowned even deeper. He looked at Chang Yu's expression and pondered over his words.
The silence in the room lasted for a moment. Yu Chi Feng sighed lightly and broke the silence.
"Well, if there is a need for help, I will naturally bring it up. During Deputy Hall Master Chang's stay in Beiji City, let me do my best to be a good host."
"There's no need to go to too much trouble. If I stay here, the brothers of the Beilong Hall might feel constrained. When I came, I had already found a inn. It's better for me to take my people and stay there."
After saying that, Chang Yu left the Beilong Hall, and Yu Chi Feng sent him to the door before returning.
It was convenient for Yu Chi Feng that Chang Yu did not stay in the Beilong Hall, as it saved him a lot of trouble.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of dirty tricks the smiling fox is hiding in his heart and whether he will cause any trouble outside.
Yu Chi Feng's expression was terrifyingly ugly. As he walked along, the people of the Beilong Hall did not dare to breathe loudly when they saw him, for fear of making him even more unhappy.
When he saw the gift boxes piled up in the courtyard, his expression became even worse.
In this life, he only recognizes Feng Tingliu as his master, and he will never be a dog for the treacherous and despicable Zhu Xie Association.
-
Yu Chi Feng's concerns were not unfounded.
Chang Yu checked into the inn. Before nightfall, he welcomed a guest into the room.
The guest was a woman, her whole body covered by a black cloak, and she carried a faint medicinal smell, as if she had been in contact with medicines for a long time and had absorbed the smell.
"How is the Beilong Hall Master?" the woman asked.
"Just as your hall master guessed, he has no intention of revealing the truth of that year." Chang Yu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Heh, he's smart." The woman sneered. "Without evidence and without guts, it's best to act with caution."
"How about the undercover you sent there?"
"Most of the people we sent have been detected by him, and it is now difficult to obtain any more information. But there is one thing that, in view of our cooperative relationship, I can share with you." The woman said in a gloomy tone.
"Oh?"
"The Beilong Hall Master's sword."
"Tell me more in detail."
"That night when we sent people to assassinate him but failed, someone saw his sword unsheathed. The gem decoration on the hilt is very precious, and the blade is a deep black, not like it is made of ordinary iron ore. He has been missing for so long, but when he returned, he brought such a sword. It's very mysterious."
After hearing this, Chang Yu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly understood something and showed a smile.
"Not bad, not bad. It's a good clue. I will investigate it clearly and then inform you."
"It seems you already have an idea."
"Do you know about the Celestial Cold Iron?"
-
Chang Yu stayed in Beiji City for three days.
Every day, he would drink tea in the Beilong Hall for two hours, observing the changes in the actions of everyone, and then return to the inn.
Yu Chi Feng had no choice but to suspend the rectification of the Beilong Hall. After sending this big shot away, he could start the work that had been delayed for three days.
But Yu Chi Feng was certain that the upper echelons of the Zhu Xie Association must know what the Hanlong Hall has done. Otherwise, why would they be so vigilant about his return.
Everyone knows it in their hearts, but it just hasn't been brought to the surface, making it particularly ridiculous.
"Finally, he's gone." Qi Cheng patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. "I don't know what's wrong with them. When they learned of the hall master's death, they didn't move. Now that they know you're not dead, they act quickly."
"I said, some people don't want to see me alive."
"This... Does it also include the Zhu Xie Association?" Qi Cheng was shocked and asked in a low voice.
Yu Chi Feng glanced at him and didn't say more.
But Yu Chi Feng knew that if he wanted the Beilong Hall to completely break away from the Zhu Xie Association, it would be useless with just his own will. He only learned the true face of the Zhu Xie Association by losing his memory. But everyone has lived under the name of the "Zhu Xie Association" for so many years. How can they accept the truth that is as filthy as mud behind the scenes...
Yu Chi Feng fell into deep thought.
But just then, there was a sudden exclamation outside.
"Not good! The Devil Cult! There are a large number of Devil Cult members in the city!"
"What's going on." Yu Chi Feng grabbed the Liufeng Sword and walked out of the door to check the situation. "How could so many Devil Cult members sneak into the city! What are the city gate guards doing!"
"I don't know! They are burning, killing, looting! They are almost at the city center! The brothers on patrol in the city have already gone there!" The subordinate who came to report the news was out of breath and spoke urgently.
"Let's go and provide support first."
Yu Chi Feng immediately rushed out of the door, with Qi Cheng closely following.
The other brothers who learned the news also picked up their weapons one after another and went to provide support.
When Yu Chi Feng ran onto the street, he could see the residents screaming and fleeing. There were also flashes of fire in the distance, and the location could be easily identified. Yu Chi Feng frowned tightly and ran towards the fire, passing by countless panicked residents.
In broad daylight, theyDare burn, kill, loot, and set fires in the city. The old faction of the Devil Cult didn't take their Beiji City seriously at all, or rather, they deliberately caused trouble when the people of the Yanlong Hall left.
The fire came into view, and at the same time, several Devil Cult members were seen without hiding the devil tattoos on their bodies, holding weapons, and fighting with the people of the Beilong Hall. There were also several city guards nearby. Although the guards had long spears in their hands, they were difficult to compete with the Devil Cult. After a few moves, they fled behind the people of the Beilong Hall.
Yu Chi Feng cursed in his heart. At this precarious time, these people took the money of the common people but became cowards.
Yu Chi Feng unsheathed his long sword and swept it horizontally, knocking a Devil Cult member to the ground.
"Brothers! Defend Beiji City!" Yu Chi Feng shouted loudly, inspiring the morale of everyone.
He is the backbone of the Beilong Hall. Now that he is standing on the battlefield with everyone, they will no longer be afraid and will not take a step back.
"Kill!" "Charge!"
The Beilong Hall and the Devil Cult fought fiercely, and the city guards had already fled and disappeared.
The dark Liufeng Sword directly attacked the enemy's vital points, and the splattered blood flew onto Yu Chi Feng, adding a few terrifying and cold looks to him, and also allowing him toRetrieve the pleasure of holding a sword in the past.
Yu Chi Feng found that the Devil Cult members fighting against them were only a small part. More Devil Cult members were actually searching the houses, taking away the rice, flour, food, and valuable things and transporting them back. Their goal seemed very clear, not simply for killing.
This was very strange. Yu Chi Feng broke through a path and wanted to go deeper, but immediately, Devil Cult members came up to stop him.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Chi Feng shouted angrily, and the sharp sword blade came with a whistling sound.
The Devil Cult member raised his knife to block it, and the weapons collided, making a dull sound.
Yu Chi Feng's sword was fast and heavy. The Devil Cult member staggered back several steps, and then suddenly attacked again, shouting: "You're really in the way!"
The two were engaged in a fierce battle. Yu Chi Feng could clearly feel that the other party was not an ordinary Devil Cult member. Perhaps he was the leader of this operation, or perhaps he was the strongest fighter in the entire team.
And the other party was obviously also physically strong. When the weapons collided, it could even make Yu Chi Feng's tiger's mouth numb and take half a step back.
But the people around could not come forward to help. Both sides wereStalemate in the same place, and it was difficult to determine the winner.
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, there was suddenly a sound in the alley, followed by the crisp sound of swords colliding!
Both sides were attracted by the sound and turned their heads to look. They saw several people dressed in black attacking the Devil Cult!
"Who are you!" The Devil Cult leader immediately became vigilant. Their number was enough to resist the attack of the Beilong Hall, but it was difficult to deal with another group of people!
The group of black-clothed people did not speak. They just got into the battle and assisted the people of the Beilong Hall in attacking the Devil Cult.
Yu Chi Feng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt something and turned his head sharply to look towards the deep alley.
He saw a person standing in the deep alley. He wore a veil hat, his clothes fluttering, and he held a sword that Yu Chi Feng was extremely familiar with.
The Fengliu Sword.
And the owner of the sword is naturally the person he has missed for a long time, his master.
