Yu Chifeng almost mistook the Cold Dragon Hall Master standing in front of him for Yu Ji. However, the Cold Dragon Hall Master's graceful figure was unmistakable, and he had also seen Yu Ji in a dress - the difference was like that between a mountain and a plain.
The person in front of him was definitely not Yu Ji, but there was definitely a connection to Yu Ji.
Yu Chifeng immediately remembered the experience that Feng Tingliu had once told him.
Ruo Lan had been betrayed by the former head of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect and bullied by his legitimate wife. Finally, with the help of Feng Tingliu, she killed the legitimate wife to take revenge. Just when Feng Tingliu was planning to deal with the former sect head, the former sect head suddenly died at home.
The former sect head had a son and a daughter. The son, who was suspected to be the murderer, fled the sect and was brought back to Liudu City by Feng Tingliu - this was Yu Ji's identity.
And the Cold Dragon Hall Master in front of him was also from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. If she really had a connection with Yu Ji, then there was only one possibility - she was Yu Ji's older sister and also the daughter of the former sect head that Ruo Lan had once seen.
Yu Chifeng was shocked by this conclusion. If so, all the actions of the Cold Dragon Hall Master seemed to have an explanation.
She targeted Feng Tingliu precisely because she was the daughter of the former sect head, and Feng Tingliu had a grudge of killing her mother. Did she also know the truth about the death of the former sect head and Yu Ji being framed...
Yu Chifeng frowned, looking at the face extremely similar to Yu Ji's, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.
Could the Cold Dragon Hall Master know the truth about her father's murder? Or rather, was she the real culprit who killed her father and then pinned the blame on Yu Ji?
But all this was just Yu Chifeng's guess.
He took a light breath, pretending not to recognize this face, and said in a deep voice: "Since the two of you have the same goal, why bother arguing here."
Chang Yu suddenly reacted, turned to look at Yu Chifeng, quicklyconvergenceed his furious appearance, and snorted coldly with aVery bad expression.
"Right, then it would be troublesome for the North Dragon Hall Master to arrange accommodation for me. These days, I will also stay in Beiji City to bother you more."
"Pretentious." The Cold Dragon Hall Master chuckled, picked up the fallen mask, tied the strap, and put it back on her face. When she looked up at Chang Yu again, her eyes were filled with killing intent that even the mask couldn't hide.
Chang Yu inexplicably shivered and walked out of the room.
The three people didn't like each other in the first place, and the meeting with their own thoughts naturally ended unhappily.
Yu Chifeng was naturally the most unhappy among the three. Chang Yu ostensibly came under the pretext of seeing the captives, but Yu Chifeng knew clearly that he was most likely here to monitor him.
It was not enough that there were already a group of Cold Dragon Hall people in the North Dragon Hall. Now, there were even more people from the Flame Dragon Hall. This made Yu Chifeng even more angry.
He couldn't even do anything and could only be monitored by these people for every move he made.
He could even imagine that if he went to find Feng Tingliu or tried to rescue him, it would definitely be something that the people from the Cold Dragon Hall and the Flame Dragon Hall would be happy to see.
But now he must come up with a solution. Before that, he must contact the people in Liudu City...
The surveillance of Yu Chifeng by the people from the Cold Dragon Hall and the Flame Dragon Hall was far more serious than he had imagined.
These people used the pretext of guarding the captives, but in fact, they were monitoring Yu Chifeng's every move.
Yu Chifeng initially wanted to go to the Zui Hong Lou to contact Ruo Lan in order to send a message to Liudu City. But when he walked onto the street, he sensed that someone was following him. He had to pretend to go shopping, walked around in a circle, and then returned to the North Dragon Hall.
Even going out was being monitored, let alone going to see Feng Tingliu.
This was actually not beyond Yu Chifeng's expectation. What really annoyed Yu Chifeng was the internal problem of the North Dragon Hall.
Some people in the North Dragon Hall seemed to trust the people from the Cold Dragon Hall and the Flame Dragon Hall exceptionally. After all, the Cold Dragon Hall had captured Feng Tingliu, and the Flame Dragon Hall was where the general helmsman was. They seemed to have completely forgotten that they were in the North Dragon Hall, and the North Dragon Hall was the place they should trust the most.
Although this was related to Yu Chifeng's long absence from the North Dragon Hall, it was also difficult to escape the fact that the people from the Cold Dragon Hall deliberately caused trouble in it.
Yu Chifeng sat in the room, deep in thought, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
He was now almost cut off from Liudu City, and he didn't know what would become of Liudu City without Feng Tingliu...
Just when Yu Chifeng's expression became increasingly ugly, Qi Cheng suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hall Master, someone wants to see you. He says he is from the Huashan Sect... It's strange. Why would a famous and prestigious sect come to find our kind of martial arts organization."
"Huashan Sect?" Yu Chifeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up. "Where is the person? Take me there."
When Yu Chifeng arrived at the entrance of the meeting hall, he saw the people from the Flame Dragon Hall standing outside.
The people from the Flame Dragon Hall were originally staring at the hall door. When they heard Yu Chifeng coming, they turned their heads to look at him and lifted their chins as a greeting.
Yu Chifeng was too lazy to deal with these arrogant guys. Under that person's gaze, he pushed the door open and walked into the meeting hall.
When that person saw him enter, he turned to report to Chang Yu.
When Yu Chifeng saw him leave, he closed the door properly, turned around, and saw the white-robed Taoist priest sitting in the meeting hall and drinking tea. But to his surprise, the person from the Huashan Sect in front of him was not someone he knew. At first, Yu Chifeng thought that the person who came would be Xia Yi or Bai Yichen. Whoever it was could be a breakthrough.
"North Dragon Hall Master, it's a pleasure to meet you." When the Taoist priest saw him come in, he put down his tea cup and stood up. "I am a disciple of the Huashan Sect, Yang Ming."
"Please sit down, Taoist Priest. What brings the Huashan Sect to find me?"
After the two sat down, Taoist Priest Yang did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "It is actually Senior Brother Bai who wants to see you. We came to Beiji City but saw many people from the Flame Dragon Hall and the Cold Dragon Hall, so we guessed that you have encountered some obstacles. If Senior Brother Bai came in person, it might attract their attention."
Yu Chifeng suddenly realized: "So that's it. Thank you for your trouble."
"I'm just a cover. Senior Brother Bai is waiting for you at the inn." Taoist Priest Yang said with a smile. "If someone asks, you can say that you once helped me. I and my fellow disciples have a mission and happened to pass through Beiji City, so we came to thank you and invite you to the inn for a meal."
Yu Chifeng nodded in agreement with his approach.
Taoist Priest Yang winked at him and suddenly whispered: "This is Senior Brother Bai's idea."
"Even Taoist Priest Bai could come up with such a solution..."
After hearing this, Taoist Priest Yang suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, all the fellow disciples know that Senior Brother Bai is definitely aStifling person."
"..."
Yu Chifeng followed Taoist Priest Yang out of the meeting hall. Just as they were about to walk out of the main entrance, unsurprisingly, they met Chang Yu who was slowly approaching.
Chang Yu sized up the Taoist priest in the Taoist robe and then shifted his gaze to Yu Chifeng, asking: "Is the North Dragon Hall Master going out for something?"
Yu Chifeng and Taoist Priest Yang exchanged glances and presented the excuse they had just prepared.
Although Chang Yu had his doubts, the Taoist in front of him was indeed from the Huashan Sect without a doubt. Moreover, he had indeed received the news that a group of Huashan Sect disciples had passed through Beiji City. Even though the Exorcism Association had already gained some scale, it was still no match for a prestigious sect like the Huashan Sect.
The words "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" seemed to be engraved in Chang Yu's soul.
Chang Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He turned and left.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The inn that Bai Yichen chose was very remote, and with the support of the Huashan Sect's reputation, the people who were tracking Yu Chifeng stopped at the entrance of the inn and did not dare to go further.
Yu Chifeng followed Taoist Priest Yang into the inn's private room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Yichen sitting in the middle, as well as two familiar faces sitting next to him.
Xia Yi and Qin Qichao.
Bai Yichen was still wearing the snow-white Taoist robe. However, Xia Yi and Qin Qichao seemed to be trying to blend in with the Huashan Sect disciples and also wore the white disciple uniforms. Although Xia Yi usually wore a Taoist robe, he hadn't worn such clothes like this for a long time.
And Qin Qichao was even more comical. He didn't have the imposing manner of an immortal Taoist. Wearing a white outfit, he looked like he was wearing the wrong clothes, appearing somewhat out of place.
When the two saw Yu Chifeng walk in, they immediately stood up and almost simultaneously shouted: "How is Brother Feng / the City Lord!"
Yu Chifeng walked forward, pulled out a chair, and sat in front of several people.
"The people of the Cold Dragon Hall have imprisoned him in the cell, and I have only seen him once. They may want to use Feng Tingliu to suppress me, but they haven't gone too far. For the time being, his life is not in danger." Although Yu Chifeng said this, his expression still revealed the fact that Feng Tingliu was not in a good condition.
"It's my fault..." Qin Qichao gritted his teeth and said, "We should have been able to protect the City Lord..."
"I... I am also to blame. Who could have expected such a thing to happen..." Xia Yi lowered his head, his tone filled with self-blame and pain.
Seeing them like this, Yu Chifeng could only clench his fists and couldn't find the words to comfort them. After all, he also failed to protect Feng Tingliu properly. Even though the person was so close to him, he couldn't even give a hug.
"Alright. Isn't this meeting to discuss how to solve the problem?" Taoist Priest Yang broke the low atmosphere and poured a cup of tea for Yu Chifeng.
Only then did Yu Chifeng take a deep breath, drank the tea to moisten his throat, and asked: "So, what exactly happened to make the young master end up in such a situation..."
"Well, it's a long story..." Xia Yi bit his lower lip, pondered for a while, and then began to recount in detail what had happened in those few days.
He told Yu Chifeng in detail how Feng Ying had blocked their way to recognize Feng Tingliu and how she had assisted the Devil Cult in creating a diversion. In the end, when they returned to the dilapidated house, they only saw the corpses of the mother and daughter, the blood all over the walls, and the Fengliu Sword that had fallen to the ground.
After hearing this, Yu Chifeng found it difficult to describe his mood.
His heart felt as if someone was clutching it, causing intermittent pain.
He knew Feng Tingliu's temperament. Even though Feng Tingliu usually showed a calm and cruel side, when it came to emotions, Feng Tingliu always attached great importance to them. These emotions included love, friendship, and theFamily that he once lost.
Feng Tingliu once said that kindness was Yu Chifeng's weakness, but now, for Feng Tingliu, it was the same.
Using relatives to set traps and lure people in...
"What beasts!" Yu Chifengfiercely smashed the table, and in his deep eyes, killing intent and hatred took the upper hand.
Such a cruel and ruthless method completely broke the last tense string in Yu Chifeng's mind.
If the so-called famous and upright sects in this martial arts world only use such despicable means, then what reason do they have for others to show mercy.
"Not one can be spared."
The wild wolf that had been tamed for many yearsconvergenceed its wildness. But at this moment, because its master suffered, all the wildness burst out.
