"Fifteen days ago, Dazefu Tianshutang elder Xue Mobai was killed in Yingdu. He was known for his unparalleled swordsmanship, but it is said that when he died, his sword was only half pulled out before his head flew out of the window."
"Twelve days ago, Mr. Sword Ghost from Jimo City went to Mingjian Villa to ask for a sword. But when the carriage arrived at Mingjian Villa, there was only a cold corpse inside. However, the driver claimed that no one had entered the carriage along the way."
"Ten days ago, the son of the Xie family, Qing Yilang, was suspected of practicing the magic martial arts privately at the Tripod Conference. He was then escorted to the Wang family for detention. On the way, he was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Seven days ago, Gu Xingshi, the top master of Tianshui Villa, was about to come out of seclusion after three months of seclusion. However, when his son opened the door of the secret room, he found that there was no one in the room. Only Gu Xingshi's famous weapon, the Autumn Water Blade, was left. However, the blade was broken."
"Two days ago, Dongfang Yanxing, the number one forger of the Dongfang family among the four great families, was found dead in his sword furnace, with both his hands and feet chopped off."
"The last thing I learned was yesterday. Tian Xiao Yunjing was sealed off and no one knew what happened in the meantime." A middle-aged man with a serious face and a scroll in his hand sat in front of a desk. Behind the desk hung a huge scroll with the words "The Sea of Learning Has No Boundaries" written on it. He looked at the two junior brothers in front of him and slammed the scroll in his hand heavily on the table. "There have been so many major events in the martial arts world, but you still came here to try to deceive me because you were worried about being scolded by your junior sister?"
Zhou Zheng and Li Wai both lowered their heads, looking as if they were being trained. The person standing in front of them was naturally Li Yanqi, one of the three gentlemen of the academy known as "Li Buyan". Facing this senior brother, Zhou Zheng and Li Wai, like the ordinary students of the academy, did not dare to look at Li Yanqi when he was speaking, otherwise, they would be afraid that daybreak before they could finish their words.
Zhou Zheng frowned and looked down at Li Wai, his expression full of surprise: "Why don't we know these things?"
"I just learned about the news that Diefeng had just been unsealed. We stayed in the mountains every day, so of course we didn't know, but the news has spread all over the martial arts world. Junior Sister just came back from the mountain, so she must have known the news herself." The middle-aged man put down the scroll in his hand, "And there are rumors in the martial arts world that this was done by the Tianmen Holy Sect."
"The Demon Cult?" Zhou Zheng curled his lips. "The Demon Cult is really a very useful thing. Any bad thing can be blamed on them."
"The three major sects in Daze Prefecture, Tianxiaoyunjing, Tianshutang, and Tianshui Villa, the four major families in Jiangnan, Wang, Xie, Lu, and Dongfang, as well as Jimo City, were all participants in the Dragon Alliance of Shanglin Tiangong. After the Dragon Alliance was formed, it defeated the Tianmen Holy Sect in one fell swoop, and only a few sects survived. Rumor has it that they have been planning revenge. Now that the masters of the major sects who participated in the Dragon Alliance have been killed one after another, it is inevitable that people will think that it was the work of the Tianmen Holy Sect." Li Wai nodded in response, "This is bad."
"First, the owner of Wuyu Tower, Xie Kanhua, reappeared, and then the Tianmen Holy Sect returned to the martial arts world and stirred up a storm. As for Junior Sister..." Zhou Zheng sighed, "I'm afraid I can't stop them."
"What happened back then was complicated, and the truth has not yet been found out. Junior Sister has always dreamed of getting to the bottom of this matter, and now is the best opportunity. Do you think Junior Sister will let it go easily?" Li Yanqi touched the non-existent beard on his chin, "Go find Junior Sister immediately, and at the same time, let Diefeng's people immediately notify the master to return to the mountain as soon as possible."
"Then... who will go find Junior Sister?" Zhou Zheng and Li Wai asked at the same time.
"There's courage in numbers! Of course we'll be together!" Li Yanqi sighed helplessly.
In the quietest villa in the backyard of the academy, Feng Zuojun was standing there carrying Su Baiyi, watching the senior sister in front of him pacing back and forth.
"Senior Sister, how about I beat him up and wake him up? Waiting like this is not a solution." Feng Zuojun yawned, "I want to go back to sleep."
"Xiaofeng, if I ask you to accompany me down the mountain, would you be willing?" Senior Sister suddenly asked.
Feng Zuojun's eyes lit up: "Can we go down the mountain again? What interesting mission is this time? Of course I am willing!"
The senior sister shook her head and said, "It's different from last time. If you go down the mountain with me this time, it will be without permission and you will most likely be sent back home by the academy."
Feng Zuojun's eyes lit up even more: "Is there such a good thing?"
The senior sister was stunned for a moment, then rubbed her forehead and said, "Tian Xiao Yunjing is also the most powerful sect in Yunmeng Daze. Will you really inherit it in the future?"
"If you had met my father, you would not have this doubt. Compared with my father, I, Feng Zuojun, am truly a talent that our Tian Xiaoyun Realm has been seeking for a hundred years." Feng Zuojun weighed Su Baiyi on his back, "Senior Sister, when are we going down the mountain?"
The senior sister walked to Su Baiyi's side, hesitated for a while and said, "Now."
"Okay." Feng Zuojun nodded without thinking.
"So straightforward?" Senior sister smiled.
"Yes." Feng Zuojun said proudly, "The men of our Feng family have always been like this."
"I didn't make a mistake in accepting you as my little brother." The elder sister held out two fingers and whistled loudly at the corners of her mouth, "Let's go!"
"I will obey Senior Sister's orders!" Feng Zuojun lifted his feet and jumped onto the courtyard wall with Su Baiyi on his back. Senior Sister followed him immediately. The academy was extremely quiet at night, and it seemed that everyone had fallen asleep, but the figures of the two people moving between them were still seen by others.
The two of them stepped out of the academy, and a carriage was already waiting for them there. Li Kui held the whip and said helplessly: "Miss, didn't we agree to take the long view?"
The senior sister stepped on tiptoe and landed on the carriage: "Didn't I tell you that we still have to adapt to circumstances?"
"Just go, why did you bring two people with you? Isn't this the guy surnamed Su? Why did he faint?" Li Kui asked, with some concern in his tone, "Master Feng, was it you who did this?"
"Don't wrongly accuse a good person. I was the one who was almost beaten to death tonight." Feng Zuojun threw Su Baiyi on the carriage and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the gentlemen catch up with us."
"Okay." Li Kui turned his horse around and raised the whip in his hand. Just as he was about to raise it, he saw a white figure flash past and block the carriage. He was stunned and asked in confusion, "Thank you, Third Master?"
Xie Yuling was holding a folding fan in his hand, with a long sword hanging around his waist and a bag on his back, standing in front of the carriage.
Feng Zuojun clenched his fists: "You want to stop us?"
"Take me down the mountain with you." Xie Yuling weighed the bag on his back.
