In the standoff between Yu Chi Feng and the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall, the others didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall curved the corners of her mouth, like a venomous snake sticking out its tongue, and said in a sinister tone, "This Feng Ting Liu is the mayor of Liudu City and cannot be dealt with casually. If the leader of the North Dragon Hall said this, does he have a way to handle him?"
"As you said, this person's identity is important and he hides many secrets. Before we find out the truth about Liudu City and the Evil Cult, we cannot act rashly." Yu Chi Feng's hands behind his back clenched into fists, but on the surface, he remained serious and composed.
He couldn't panic and mustn't lose his footing.
The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall might have known his relationship with Feng Ting Liu, and Feng Ting Liu's predicament was also related to Yu Chi Feng. Thinking of this, Yu Chi Feng felt even more self-blaming in his heart.
"Heh, the leader of the North Dragon Hall makes sense." The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall chuckled and continued, "But I haven't pried out the information I want from his mouth. How can I easily hand him over to you? Please trouble the leader of the North Dragon Hall to find a guest room for me. During my interrogation of Feng Ting Liu, I'll have to trouble the North Dragon Hall to take care of things."
Yu Chi Feng's eyebrows furrowed even deeper. He didn't expect that the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall would actually want to stay here for a period of time. This was clearly a blatant provocation to him.
But now the people of the Evil-Eliminating Society were like a bunch of snakes and rats, and he couldn't think of a way to drive them away - not to mention that although Feng Ting Liu was now in Beiji City, he had fallen into their hands.
"I will do my best as the host." Yu Chi Feng said this, but his tone was icy. He turned his head and waved his hand, asking his subordinate to tidy up an empty room for the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall.
The location of the empty room was far from the entrance of the dungeon. Even though this move was of no use, it could give Feng Ting Liu a little more breathing space.
The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She stood up, lifted her skirt, and followed the subordinate with a graceful posture.
Yu Chi Feng turned to look at her back, his gaze icy, but for a moment, he hesitated.
He always felt that he had seen those eyes of the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall somewhere before...
While the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall went to the empty room to settle in, Yu Chi Feng came to the dungeon. He didn't dare to make a big fuss for fear of exposing himself, so he could only pretend to be inspecting the prisoners and led his subordinates there.
To his surprise, the dungeon entrance was guarded by the people of the Cold Dragon Hall, and the people of the North Dragon Hall who were originally guarding this place were nowhere to be found.
Yu Chi Feng stood at the dungeon entrance, frowned at the two strangers, and asked, "Did the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall send you?"
"Feng Ting Liu is a sinner in the martial arts world. The leader sent us to strictly guard him to ensure that he has no chance to escape." The people of the Cold Dragon Hall glanced at Yu Chi Feng and said coldly, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.
"Oh? Then where are the people who were originally here?" Yu Chi Feng's heart was burning with anger, but he remained calm on the surface and asked.
"The people of the North Dragon Hall care about the martial arts world and naturally understand the importance of our actions, so they entrusted this to us." The person said with a forced smile.
Yu Chi Feng raised an eyebrow and turned to look at his trusted subordinate. The subordinate understood and nodded, then left to investigate the matter.
But the people of the Cold Dragon Hall didn't care what Yu Chi Feng did. They arrogantly raised their heads and said, "If the leader of the North Dragon Hall wants to enter, we will naturally let you pass."
It was as if this place was their territory.
Yu Chi Feng sneered in his heart. When he wasn't in the North Dragon Hall, the Cold Dragon Hall tried to secretly replace him. Now that he had returned to the North Dragon Hall, the Cold Dragon Hall actually dared to show their ambition without any cover.
"Then I thank you." Yu Chi Feng gave a cold glance and led people into the dungeon.
Nearly half of the people in the dungeon had been replaced by the Cold Dragon Hall, and the remaining half were untrustworthy people from the North Dragon Hall.
The deeper Yu Chi Feng walked, the angrier he became in his heart. But when he saw Feng Ting Liu, who was imprisoned in the deepest part, the anger in his heart was immediately covered by great heartache and remorse. His eyes had already ignored the figures of those passers-by, leaving only the beloved person in front of him who had lost his former brilliance.
But he couldn't show any emotion. He could only stand in place and look at him from afar.
He couldn't even give him a hug.
Feng Ting Liu's hands were cuffed and hung from the ceiling with iron chains, forcing him to raise his arms. And the length of the iron chain was naturally carefully designed so that Feng Ting Liu couldn't sit on the ground. But Feng Ting Liu couldn't exert the strength to stand up, so he could only support his body with his knees and kneel in place.
Feng Ting Liu's clothes were torn, and his wrists were marked with bloodstains. His legs were bruised and bleeding from the bumps along the way. His pale face was covered with thin sweat, and his originally rosy lips were bitten with tooth marks and bloodstains.
It seemed that Feng Ting Liu heard Yu Chi Feng's footsteps. He slightly moved his fingers, and his body trembled as he tried to raise his head with effort.
The iron chains jingled as Feng Ting Liu shook, and the subtle sound was deafening to Yu Chi Feng's ears.
"Uh..." A soft moan escaped from Feng Ting Liu's throat, making Yu Chi Feng wish he could quickly step forward, rescue the person, and embrace him. But Yu Chi Feng could only clench his fists, letting his nails leave marks in his palms.
Yu Chi Feng stood in place and watched for a while. He gritted his teeth so hard that he finally dared not to look anymore and turned around.
"Let's go. Seeing that he is not yet awake, it's useless for us to stay here."
"Yes."
If he continued to watch, he might lose his rationality, abandon everything, and rescue the person.
But he couldn't. He wanted Feng Ting Liu to live in the world openly and honorably, instead of being regarded as a devil, being shouted and chased to such a situation, and even becoming a wanderer in the martial arts world...
When Feng Ting Liu heard his voice, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly became much clearer. He looked up with difficulty, but could only see aBlurred back view.
Feng Ting Liu watched Yu Chi Feng leave the dungeon, his gaze unwilling to move away even a bit until the sweat flowing from his forehead soaked his eyes, and then he lowered his head.
This is good.
Feng Ting Liu wished that Yu Chi Feng wouldn't come to see him, completely cut off relations with him, and never get involved in the vortex beside him.
But Feng Ting Liu also understood that Yu Chi Feng would never do that. His forbearance now was just to prepare for the future outbreak.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
After seeing Yu Chi Feng completely leave his sight, he suddenly coughed violently, his voice painful, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs, heart-wrenching.
The damp and dirty dungeon made it difficult for him to breathe, and his body with old and new injuries couldn't withstand this torture.
Especially since his headache would often act up, making him lose his rationality and even consciousness...
"How pathetic..." Feng Ting Liu chuckled and mocked himself.
-
Yu Chi Feng walked out of the dungeon and looked at the people of the Cold Dragon Hall standing at the entrance, feeling even more frustrated in his heart.
When he returned to his residence, the subordinate who had gone to investigate the guards earlier came to him.
"Speak, what happened."
Yu Chi Feng's face was terrifying, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table, inadvertently releasing his imposing manner.
The subordinate knew that this matter wasn't his fault, but he couldn't help feeling scared.
"At first, those two people didn't want to neglect their duties. But the people of the Cold Dragon Hall used both threats and inducements, saying that Feng Ting Liu was a big devil, that the people of the North Dragon Hall were useless, and that all these were the achievements of the Cold Dragon Hall... They almost got into a fight, and someone persuaded them to leave."
"Persuaded to leave?"
"Yes, saying that they are all comrades and shouldn't have internal conflicts. Since they are all from the Evil-Eliminating Society, it doesn't matter who guards the dungeon. The guards might have been in a fit of anger, so..."
"So they left?"
"Well..." The subordinate himself felt less confident as he spoke and took half a step back.
Yu Chi Feng's face became even moreUgly, he closed his eyes and snorted, then asked, "Who persuaded them to leave? The people of the Cold Dragon Hall? Or our people?"
"Ours..."
Yu Chi Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed.
The North Dragon Hall is so divided internally. If even one's own people can't trust each other, then how can they unite? How can they join hands to resist the enemy?
If he wanted to rescue Feng Ting Liu, the first step was actually to start with his own people...
But before Yu Chi Feng could come up with a solution, Qi Cheng hurriedly ran over, his face pale, and without even bothering to knock on the door, he saidpanic, "Hall Master, something is wrong!"
"Speak."
"The people of the Flame Dragon Hall have come again..."
Yu Chi Feng wasn't surprised that the people of the Flame Dragon Hall appeared here.
After all, the Flame Dragon Hall and the Cold Dragon Hall have the same stance. Now that the Flame Dragon Hall has come here, it is also to monitor Yu Chi Feng's actions and to see the situation of Feng Ting Liu.
Yu Chi Feng could only get up with a dark face to receive the people of the Flame Dragon Hall.
But to Yu Chi Feng's surprise, when the three halls met, the ones with the most incompatibleAura were the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall and Chang Yu of the Flame Dragon Hall. Their gazes met, and the looks in their eyes towards each other were filled with contempt and disgust, even making them forget about Yu Chi Feng standing aside.
The strangest thing was that Chang Yu's neck was wrapped in bandages, as if he was injured. But Chang Yu hadn't been away from Beiji City for too long. Where did he get injured?
"Why has Deputy Hall Master Chang come? Could it be that the people of the Flame Dragon Hall are so idle that they are wandering around?" The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall chuckled and mocked.
"Naturally, I don't trust a viperous woman like you. I must personally interrogate this Feng Ting Liu." Chang Yu's face was ugly, and he retorted without courtesy.
"Heh, where did this wild dog come from, barking so loudly."
"You!"
Chang Yu suddenly burst into anger. He impulsively stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall. He didn't care whether the other person was a man or a woman. He just wanted to prove his ability with force.
The leader of the Cold Dragon Hall's gaze swept coldly, as if in her eyes, Chang Yu was already a dead person.
But suddenly, something unexpected happened. When Chang Yu pulled her collar, he seemed to have pulled something on her accessory. The silver mask on her face suddenly broke the strap and slipped down along her cheek, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
The charming leader of the Cold Dragon Hall suddenly exposed her true appearance. Chang Yu immediately lost his anger and stared at her face, standing there in a daze.
Yu Chi Feng was also surprised, but not by the beauty under the mask, but by the familiarity of that face.
If Yu Ji put on rouge and wore a dress, his appearance as a woman would be ninety percent similar to that of the leader of the Cold Dragon Hall!
