In the torture chamber of Liu Shan Men,everyone stared at Su Xin with strange looks,not knowing what he had done to the assassin.
People only saw Su Xin standing in front of the assassin,and then the assassin,as if possessed,started muttering and revealed all his identity.It was then that everyone learned that Cold Moon Hall surprisingly had a survivor serving as the incense master in the Seven Heroes Society.
When even Yue Hai revealed everything at the end,the eyes of Li Huai and the others showed a hint of coldness–Falling Feather Villa,Ji Wukong!These three major first-class forces just wouldn't cease their activities.Despite losing their influence in Jiangnan Province,they still emerged to cause trouble.
On the side,Ferro and Femo looked at Su Xin with peculiar eyes.As martial artists in the Transcendent Realm,they were well-versed and knew that Su Xin was using a method of spiritual attack,a method that was both domineering and sinister.
Normal spiritual secret arts usually used one's own mental power to slowly lure the opponent's spirit into a trap.However,Su Xin's spiritual secret art was evidently different–it was direct invasion into the opponent's mind,extracting everything the opponent thought of.As long as you couldn't break through Su Xin's mental strength,even the deepest and most shameful secrets in your heart could be seen by him.
This kind of spiritual secret art was already considered quite sinister.Ferro and Femo wondered at the strange things that Su Xin possessed.
Exiting Yue Hai's mental world,Su Xin was satisfied with the power of the Heaven and Earth Mind Attack Technique.However,he hadn't thoroughly researched mental power.Even with the Heaven and Earth Mind Attack Technique,its current use was limited to defending against illusions and extracting confessions.The potential of the Heaven and Earth Mind Attack Technique was definitely more than that,and Su Xin needed to explore it slowly.
Having completely emptied Yue Hai's thoughts,he seemed almost dead,lying there motionless,with only a faint spark of life flickering.
Huang Bingcheng asked,"Boss,should we kill him now?"
A cold light flashed in Su Xin's eyes as he said,"Let's keep him for now.After we're done,we'll take him to Falling Feather Villa and give them a big gift.Also,keep those damaged Tian Shu Sword Puppets;we'll bring them to Falling Feather Villa as well."
Huang Bingcheng nodded understandingly.Their boss had never been one to suffer losses.Since Falling Feather Villa had played these little tricks in the dark,they would have to bear the consequences.
However,in Falling Feather Villa at this time,Ji Wukong had already known about this news.Three precious Tian Shu Sword Puppets were extremely valuable,and Ji Wukong couldn't simply hand them over to Yue Hai.What if Yue Hai took the puppets and ran away?
So,Ji Wukong had people watching Yue Hai all the time,also to see how things would turn out.Unexpectedly,even the pinnacle of the Divine Palace Realm like Yue Hai,along with three Tian Shu Sword Puppets,couldn't deal with Su Xin.
"This Yue Hai is really an idiot.Couldn't he endure a little longer,wait until Su Xin is alone,and then make his move?Now,with all the elite forces around Su Xin,two Tian Shu Sword Puppets are as good as useless.Attacking at this moment is simply foolish!"
Knowing the situation at that time,Ji Wukong felt frustrated.Yue Hai was not a foolish person;he became one of the youngest incense masters in the Seven Heroes Society,indicating his cunning and scheming.However,this time,whether it was due to a strong desire for revenge or underestimating Su Xin's strength,he chose a very inappropriate time to act.
At this moment,a servant came in and reported,"Elder,there's someone outside claiming to be Yuan Dongtian from the Seven Heroes Society.He wishes to meet the representative of our Falling Feather Villa."
Hearing that it was someone from the Seven Heroes Society,Ji Wukong's eyebrows jumped.This time,even if the visitor had unknown intentions,Ji Wukong couldn't afford to be neglectful."Bring Yuan Dongtian to the reception hall,"he ordered.
In the reception hall,a man around thirty years old was sitting there,waiting.
The person who came to the Seven Powers Gathering,Ji Wukong,although unfamiliar,had heard of his name.
In the previous generation of the Seven Powers Gathering,the formidable figure on the People's List,Yuan Dongtian,had once ranked sixteenth on the list but was removed due to age surpassing the limit.
Despite Yuan Dongtian appearing to be in his thirties now,his actual age was around forty.Ji Wukong walked over,arching his hand towards Yuan Dongtian,"Brother Yuan,your presence at my Falling Feather Mountain Manor truly adds luster to our place."
Even though Yuan Dongtian was in the Divine Palace Realm,and Ji Wukong had already reached the Yuan Shen Realm as a martial arts grandmaster,he didn't feel any superiority in front of Yuan Dongtian.One reason was Yuan Dongtian's strength;he had the potential to break through to the Yuan Shen Realm before the age of forty.Only,for the sake of perfection,he persisted until he reached the state of understanding the unity of heaven and man before preparing to break through to the Yuan Shen Realm.
Currently,Yuan Dongtian had already achieved the state of unity of heaven and man,making it certain that he would ascend to the Yuan Shen Realm in the future.His potential and strength far surpassed Ji Wukong.Therefore,Ji Wukong did not dare to put on any airs as a senior in the Yuan Shen Realm in front of Yuan Dongtian.Moreover,Ji Wukong's age was not considered old;he was not yet sixty.Due to breaking through to the Yuan Shen Realm early,his appearance seemed to be in his thirties,making him on par with Yuan Dongtian in terms of age.
The second reason was Yuan Dongtian's identity;he was the eldest son of one of the current heads of the Seven Powers Gathering,'East China Divine General'Yuan Wuliang.
As the name suggests,the Seven Powers Gathering was initially created by seven people,and at its peak,all seven members reached the People's List,with their influence even rivaling that of the Yearly Alliance.
However,after two generations,the Seven Powers Gathering experienced some decline.The descendants of the original seven members had three branches that completely declined.Therefore,while the current organization retained the name Seven Powers Gathering,there were only four heads.
With the talent and strength displayed by Yuan Dongtian,it was certain that he would become one of the four heads in the future.Ji Wukong naturally couldn't neglect him.
Seeing Ji Wukong coming over,Yuan Dongtian did not show any arrogance.He smiled and greeted,"Brother Ji,you are too kind.I came to Falling Feather Mountain Manor this time to seek your help."
"Oh?Whatever Brother Yuan needs,just say it.As long as Falling Feather Mountain Manor can help,we will definitely not refuse,"Ji Wukong pledged.
Yuan Dongtian said,"It's like this.One of the incense masters of our Seven Powers Gathering has disappeared for some reason recently.Later,someone saw him in Jiangnan Dao.Initially,it wouldn't be a big deal,but this incense master is on good terms with my younger sister,Shen Tianyao.So,my younger sister took a few young disciples from the Seven Powers Gathering and came to Jiangnan Dao to find that incense master.My sister's father is the head of our Seven Powers Gathering,'King of Heaven'Shen Wuming.He is worried about his daughter's safety,so he sent me to look into it.However,Jiangnan Dao is vast,and we don't have much information there,so we had to seek help from Falling Feather Mountain Manor."
Ji Wukong breathed a sigh of relief;it turned out to be an inquiry about information.However,he had a thought and a slight smile appeared on his face,"No problem,Brother Yuan,please wait a moment.I will go and ask if there is any information."
After Ji Wukong left,he didn't actually inquire with anyone.Instead,he spent some time in other rooms before walking out.He said to Yuan Dongtian,"Below,I did get some information.It was reported that a woman with a similar appearance to Miss Shen went to Qingyang Mansion,but it cannot be confirmed if it is indeed Miss Shen."
Yuan Dongtian arched his hand towards Ji Wukong,"Thank you,Brother Ji.I will go and check it out."
After Yuan Dongtian left,Ji Wukong remained silent in the hall for a while.The people from the Seven Powers Gathering coming to him was a good opportunity.If he could instigate a conflict between the Seven Powers Gathering and that Su Xin,it would be even better.
However,he was unsure if Shen Tianyao was really in Qingyang Mansion.If she had indeed pursued Lian Yuehai to Qingyang Mansion,it might lead to a conflict with Su Xin.That would be an excellent outcome.
Therefore,Ji Wukong thought for a moment.When he felt that Yuan Dongtian had walked a certain distance,he quietly trailed behind him,prepared to see how the situation unfolded.
Meanwhile,in a tavern in Qingyang Mansion,a charming and cute-looking girl was gossiping with three seemingly young but already innate realm martial artists.
One martial artist,wearing a bitter expression,said,"Tianyao,why do you insist on looking for that Lian Yuehai?I've said it before;he looks like a rustic bumpkin from a small place.Joining our Seven Powers Gathering,he must have some ulterior motives.Now,he has suddenly disappeared;maybe he took something and ran away."
The other two martial artists echoed,"Exactly,Tianyao,you took us out secretly.If the head finds out,he will severely punish us.It's better for us to go back now before the head discovers.Otherwise,we'll be in big trouble."
These three were the younger generation disciples of the Seven Powers Gathering,and their fathers were also old members of the Seven Powers Gathering.They had grown up together with Shen Tianyao and already harbored feelings of admiration for her.
What made them angry was that before they could make any progress,Shen Tianyao had fallen for Lian Yuehai,someone they didn't even know where he came from,and completely ignored the three childhood friends who had grown up together.
