It was the first time that Feng Tingliu had seen Yu Chi Feng like this. He looked at the two corpses in astonishment, not knowing what Yu Chi Feng intended to do.
Yu Chi Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and even when he glanced at the corpses, he did notconvergence it, as if only by tearing the person to pieces could he calm down. But in the next moment, he seemed to notice Feng Tingliu's gaze and turned to look. At the instant their eyes met, the hostility in his eyes dissipated.
Yu Chi Feng showed a gentle smile, his lips moved slightly but without making a sound.
Yet Feng Tingliu could easily read his meaning.
"Wait for me."
Feng Tingliu was stunned in place, watching Yu Chi Feng casually swing the blood-stained sword, shaking off the blood droplets.
A series of footsteps came from the direction of the dungeon entrance, but Yu Chi Feng remained unhurried and even put the long sword away. The newcomers were two subordinates of the North Dragon Hall. They were also surprised to see the corpses on the ground, but looking at Yu Chi Feng's usual appearance, they didn't find it strange.
"Hall Master, what is this..."
"They wanted to resist, so I dealt with them on the spot." Yu Chi Feng said calmly, his gaze normal, as if he didn't know Feng Tingliu at all. "This person is important. Guard him well and don't let the people of the Cold Dragon Hall get close."
"Understood!"
Yu Chi Feng didn't look at Feng Tingliu again and turned to leave the dungeon.
Feng Tingliu witnessed the whole process. In a trance, he came to his senses and curved his lips. His earlobes were burning red, and his crimson eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
He had to admit that the Yu Chi Feng just now was extremely charming, making it difficult for him to control the emotions in his heart.
Whether it was conquest or being conquered.
He couldn't resist such a Yu Chi Feng.
Feng Tingliu lowered his head, his long hair falling down, covering his unusually excited expression.
The two men properly dealt with the corpses of the Cold Dragon Hall and then stood guard in front of Feng Tingliu. At first, the two were a bit restless. They frequently looked at Feng Tingliu with extremely complicated moods. Even disregarding that Feng Tingliu was right in front of them, they began to communicate in low voices.
"Is the Lord of Liudu City just going to be kept like this... Didn't they say that they have nothing to do with the Evil Cult?"
"Yes... They in Liudu City have even helped us before..."
"Alas, it's a mess, everything is a mess!"
"You said... If Liudu City can really help us, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the Cold Dragon Hall?"
"Stop talking. It's chaotic outside, and it's not clear who is the enemy and who is the friend." That person sighed, saying with worry, "The Hall Master has returned to the battlefield like this. I don't know if his wound has been treated."
Feng Tingliu listened carefully to their conversation and suddenly froze. It turned out that the smell of blood he had just smelled was not, as Yu Chi Feng said, someone else's blood, but that Yu Chi Feng was really injured but had kept it from him.
What exactly happened outside?
Why did Yu Chi Feng kill the people of the Cold Dragon Hall without any scruples?
Could it be that the North Dragon Hall has already declared war on the Cold Dragon Hall?
Feng Tingliu was full of doubts. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the two guards. The two of them already had a complicated attitude towards Feng Tingliu. Now, seeing Feng Tingliu looking at them, they were startled and didn't know how to react.
"What happened outside?" Feng Tingliu's voice was hoarse as he asked.
The two looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then one of them said, "We discovered that the Cold Dragon Hall is colluding with the Evil Cult and is currently clearing out the members of the Cold Dragon Hall in Beiji City. Those who can be caught are caught, and those who can't are killed."
Feng Tingliu thought for a while and instantly understood the whole story. But he also didn't expect that within such a short period of time, the internal situation of the North Dragon Hall had become so harmonious that they could unanimously deal with the external threat.
"What about the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall?" Feng Tingliu asked again.
"Escaped. We didn't catch him." That person shrugged helplessly. "Just like the Evil Cult, when they can't win, they run. They escape faster than anyone else."
"How do the people in the city view your handling of the members of the Cold Dragon Hall?" After a moment of hesitation, Feng Tingliu still asked this question.
"Oh, this. We hung the corpses of the person from the Cold Dragon Hall who colluded with the Evil Cult and the corpses of the Evil Cult members outside the city. There are all kinds of evidence, such as the Cold Dragon Hall's tokens, the letters for passing messages, and the bribed gold and silver. Now everyone in Beiji City knows about the Cold Dragon Hall's collusion with the Evil Cult."
Feng Tingliu closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. What he least wanted to see was Yu Chi Feng's reputation being damaged and ending up in the same situation as him.
But the real situation is far more complicated than what the two said.
Although the sub-hall of the Evil Exorcism Society colluding with the Evil Cult has made the city residents lose trust in the Cold Dragon Hall, the same is true for the North Dragon Hall. Even if the North Dragon Hall tries its best to capture and eliminate the undercover agents, it is still difficult to avoid the pointing and suspicion of the common people.
If the Cold Dragon Hall can betray, so can the North Dragon Hall. Then sooner or later, Beiji City will fall into danger. Who can they trust?
But Yu Chi Feng doesn't bother with those. He is willing to use practical actions to prove that only their North Dragon Hall can protect the peace of Beiji City.
All the subordinates of the Cold Dragon Hall lurking in Beiji City have been eradicated. Those who are still alive have been sent to the dungeon for further interrogation. But during the interrogation process, Yu Chi Feng also found that not all the people in the Cold Dragon Hall knew about the collusion with the Evil Cult. After all, this matter is of great significance, and the ordinary people at the bottom level do not know their plans.
How to deal with these people has also become a problem.
More importantly, the current whereabouts of the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall are unknown. Perhaps he has fled back to the stronghold in the northeast or chosen to escape.
Now that the North Dragon Hall and the Cold Dragon Hall have fallen out, what if the Cold Dragon Hall, or even the Evil Exorcism Society, attacks?
Yu Chi Feng has a splitting headache. There are too many things to deal with, and he almost has no time to rest. At the same time, he also needs to think about how to bring Feng Tingliu out of the dungeon openly and make the brothers of the North Dragon Hall accept it.
But to Yu Chi Feng's surprise, before he could come up with a reasonable solution, someone voluntarily proposed a plan.
"Cooperate with Liudu City?" Yu Chi Feng looked at that person in surprise, with both astonishment and joy in his eyes.
"Yes. If Liudu City really has nothing to do with the Evil Cult and has been falsely accused by them, why not cooperate with them? Everyone knows the combat power of Liudu City. If we have their assistance, even if the entire Evil Exorcism Society is against us, it is not impossible to resist." That person had a serious expression, as if he had really thought deeply and carefully before boldly making the suggestion. "Moreover, the goal of the Evil Cult and the Evil Exorcism Society is to help the prince seize the throne, which is definitely not something that our North Dragon Hall can interfere with."
Yu Chi Feng stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. After a while, he nodded and said, "I'll consider it. But the matter of seizing the throne cannot be easily spread. Although we are a Jianghu organization, under the emperor's rule, our lives are not guaranteed."
"I understand. Please, Hall Master, consider it carefully."
Yu Chi Feng sized him up and found that this person was not very old, seemingly only eighteen or nineteen years old. He carefully recalled and remembered that this person's name was Yin Cang, a newcomer who joined the North Dragon Hall two years ago. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he could make such a bold decision.
"Well, I cannot decide this matter alone. You go and inform everyone that at noon tomorrow, there will be a meeting in the main hall."
Yin Cang was stunned upon hearing this, pointed at himself, and showed a confused expression different from the seriousness just now: "For such an important matter, are you sending me?"
Yu Chi Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Why not."
If this matter were proposed by Yu Chi Feng, there might be some doubts. This has nothing to do with whether everyone trusts Yu Chi Feng, but being in this position, one must consider everything thoroughly.
But if it is proposed by someone else, it is different. Yin Cang is indeed considering for the North Dragon Hall and making such a decision from the perspective of an ordinary person.
Moreover, Yin Cang has such courage and ideas, which is extraordinary.
Yu Chi Feng stroked his chin, considering the possibility of promoting and training this person...
-
The meeting of the North Dragon Hall was held in the main hall.
Yu Chi Feng did not rush to bring up the matter of Feng Tingliu. Instead, he first summarized the actions taken in the recent period to motivate everyone.
"The battle with the Cold Dragon Hall has temporarily ended. The members of the Cold Dragon Hall and the Evil Cult in Beiji City have been completely cleared. Although the Hall Master of the Cold Dragon Hall has escaped, and we have no evidence of the Evil Exorcism Society's collusion with the Evil Cult, we have achieved victory. The Evil Exorcism Society may kill and attack the North Dragon Hall at any time to silence us. Due to their image, they will not deliberately make things difficult for us and declare war in the near future, but the danger still exists." Yu Chi Feng's voice echoed in the main hall.
Every subordinate of the North Dragon Hall listened seriously and even nodded frequently in response to what Yu Chi Feng said.
Today is different from the past. The North Dragon Hall is completely united, and everything is only for eradicating evil and restoring peace to the Jianghu.
"Indeed... What if the Evil Exorcism Society targets us? They definitely won't leave any survivors."
"And the Evil Cult, how can we be their opponents..."
There were whispers below, expressing concerns about the future safety, but they did not regret.
Yu Chi Feng heard the voices but did not stop them. He turned to look at Yin Cang standing aside and signaled with his eyes.
Yin Cang received the signal and immediately stood up straight, nervously saying, "Everyone, please listen to me..."
Yin Cang clenched his fist to boost his courage and boldly expressed his thoughts to the members of the Evil Exorcism Society.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the room was first silent, and then there were whispers one after another.
Cooperating with Liudu City is not a small matter. Although the image of Liudu City in everyone's hearts has changed, it is still a force in the shadows, and no one knows its details. Moreover, the Lord of Liudu City is still locked in their own dungeon...
"I think this matter is feasible."
When everyone was worried, Yu Chi Feng timely interrupted. His words were like a rock, calming people's hearts.
Yu Chi Feng looked around and saw that although everyone was worried, there was no one who opposed. He was satisfied and continued to say, "I will handle the negotiations with the Lord of Liudu City. But before that, release him from the dungeon first. As for the accommodation... Let him stay at my place first, and I will personally supervise him."
