The master and apprentice are intensively investigating Ye Guang's identity, trying to uncover the secrets hidden behind him. However, at this critical moment, a mysterious letter came quietly like a ghost.
Chu Muyun carefully took the letter and unfolded it. The handwriting on it was clearly visible. The content of the letter was like a thunder that exploded in his heart.
"Raging Wave Dragon King Xiao Hefeng, the secret book of the Blood Shadow Soul-Severing Claw has fallen into my hands. If you want to get it back, at noon tomorrow, in the col of the back mountain of Liquan Mountain, your master and disciple will fight to the death with me. "At the signature, it was written "Yang Ji, Wolf King of the Snowy Land".
Chu Muyun's face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were full of worry.
"Master, your martial arts have not recovered yet, so I'm afraid you will be in trouble." He said anxiously.
Xiao Hefeng just smiled slightly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, my disciple. I have been traveling across the world for decades as my master, and I have never seen any big storms. How can I be intimidated by a letter of challenge? At noon tomorrow, I will go there on my own, and all consequences will be determined by me. The teacher will bear it."
Chu Muyun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xiao Hefeng.
"No need to say more, the disciple just needs to calmly wait for the good news of becoming a master."
The next morning, the sun filled the earth.
Xiao Hefeng and Chu Muyun arrived at the col at the back of Liquan Mountain early.
Yang Ji has been waiting here for a long time. He stands with his hands behind his back, exuding an invisible pressure.
On the stone table, there is the secret book of Blood Shadow's Soul-Severing Claw, as if to show off his victory to Xiao Hefeng.
Ye Guang was tied tightly on the tree, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and could only make a whining sound.
His eyes were full of fear and despair. When he saw Chu Muyun and Xiao Hefeng arriving, he shook his head anxiously, signaling them not to take risks easily.
Yang Ji looked at Xiao Hefeng with a sneer on his lips.
"Raging Wave Dragon King, you are indeed here. Today is the day of your death."
Xiao Hefeng's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "Yang Ji, between you and me. Let’s put an end to the grievances between us today.”
After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards Yang Ji like a ghost.
Not to be outdone, Yang Ji tried his best to start a fierce duel with Xiao Hefeng.
In an instant, the shadow of the sword flickered and the wind roared in the palm.
Chu Muyun watched nervously from the side, sweat already oozing from his palms.
He knew that his master's martial arts had not yet fully recovered, and he couldn't help but feel worried for him.
However, Xiao Hefeng's skills are not inferior to those in the past.
Every move he made contained endless power, which gradually made Yang Ji feel exhausted.
The battle lasted for hundreds of rounds, and the outcome was still difficult to determine between the two sides.
At this moment, Xiao Hefeng suddenly used a unique skill.
His sword was as powerful as a rainbow, instantly breaking through Yang Ji's defense.
Yang Ji was shocked and it was too late to dodge.
The sword blade passed by, and a deep scar suddenly appeared on Yang Ji's chest.
He widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Hefeng in disbelief.
"You...you actually..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and lost his breath.
Xiao Hefeng let out a long breath, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
He turned around and came to the tree and untied the rope from Ye Guang.
"Thanks to you this time. If you hadn't led us here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to retrieve this secret book."
Ye Guang lowered his head in shame.
"Senior Xiao, I... I'm sorry to you and Brother Chu. It was me being used by Yang Ji that caused this disaster."
Xiao Hefeng waved his hand.
"The matter is over, there is no need to mention it again. Never trust others gullibly in the future to avoid making the same mistake again."
Chu Muyun also said: "Master is right, Ye Guang, you We are also victims, so don’t blame yourself too much.”
The three masters and disciples left this mountain col with the secret book of the Blood Shadow Soul-Severing Claw. After Master Chu Muyun returned to Yalong Cave, he asked Ye Guang to go back and rest.
The master and apprentice sat at the stone table in the cave and began to discuss the next matter.
Chu Muyun looked at his master and asked hesitantly: "Master, now that the misunderstanding has been solved, should we continue to investigate?"
Xiao Hefeng's eyes were firm. And calmly, he said slowly: "Of course. Disciple, are you sure this is not a double act?"
Chu Muyun thought for a moment and nodded.
"What Master said is true. This matter is too coincidental. The appearance of the letter and Yang Ji's provocation make people feel a little strange."
Xiao Hefeng slightly Nodding, he continued: "Moreover, the secret book of the Blood Shadow Soul-Severing Claw is of great importance, and we must not let it fall into the hands of lawless people. We must find out the truth to prevent future troubles."
Chu Mu Yun's heart shivered, and he understood that his master's worries were justified.
"But Master, your martial arts has not fully recovered yet, what should we do?"
Xiao Hefeng smiled and patted Chu Muyun on the shoulder.
"Disciple, don't worry. Master has his own solution. We need to take a long-term approach and investigate this matter secretly."
The master and apprentice discussed for a long time and decided to start from the following aspects. .
First of all, they must continue to monitor Ye Guang's every move to prevent fraud.
Secondly, secretly investigated Yang Ji's background and origins to see if he was involved with other forces.
Finally, look for insiders in the world to get more clues about the Blood Shadow Soul-Severing Claw.
After the discussion was settled, the master and the apprentice began to act separately.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Chu Muyun paid close attention to Ye Guang's whereabouts, while Xiao Hefeng relied on his connections in the world to collect various information.
As time passed, they gradually discovered some clues.
Ye Guang didn't seem to have any unusual behavior, but Yang Ji's background was very mysterious.
There are also different opinions about the legend of Blood Shadow's Soul-Severing Claw in the world, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Xiao Hefeng knew that this matter was related to the peace of Jianghu, and he must be cautious. After two months of investigation, Xiao Hefeng finally discovered some clues.
Yang Ji's appearance this time was not just to settle the grudge, but was ordered by Sikong Chang'an.
Sikong Changan is a man with deep scheming and ruthless methods. He wants to take advantage of the fact that Xiao Hefeng has not fully recovered and Chu Muyun is still young to get rid of their master and disciple.
This is already the eighth time! Xiao Hefeng sighed secretly in his heart.
When Chu Muyun heard this, his brows furrowed and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Master, this person is cruel and ruthless, we must not let him succeed!"
Xiao Hefeng nodded and said: "Mu Yun, from now on, you and I, master and disciple, must cease our activities. For a while."
Although Chu Muyun felt unwilling, he also knew that it was not appropriate to be impulsive at this time.
Xiao Hefeng looked at Chu Muyun, with a trace of love flashing in his eyes.
"Disciple, my master has a dragon's breath method that can hold one's breath underwater. Now I want to teach it to you. This may save your life at a critical moment."
p>Chu Muyun felt happy and quickly knelt down to thank him.
Xiao Hefeng told Chu Muyun the key points of the Dragon Breath Technique in detail.
Chu Muyun listened carefully and remembered every detail.
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Chu Muyun's Dragon Breath Technique has achieved some success, and Xiao Hefeng's martial arts has also recovered to 70% to 80%.
The master and apprentice decided to go out again to investigate Sikong Changan's conspiracy.
They secretly collected intelligence and looked for Sikong Changan's weaknesses.
However, Sikong Changan is not an easy person, and he takes extremely strict precautions.
The master and apprentice made slow progress, but they were not discouraged.
One day, Chu Muyun got an important clue.
It is said that Sikong Changan will meet with a group of mysterious figures in the valley outside the city in the near future.
When Xiao Hefeng heard this, his eyesThere was a flash of light.
"Mu Yun, this may be our opportunity."
The master and apprentice decided to go to the valley to find out the truth.
At this time in the valley, Sikong Changan is discussing the next action plan with Sa Zhiyu, the leader of the Lihua Sect, and Ishikawa, the leader of the Kaishan Sect.
Sikong Changan said: "Two sect masters, the purpose of inviting you here this time is to get rid of Xiao Hefeng, master and disciple."
Sa Zhiyu dismissed it: "Master Sikong Pavilion has countless disciples, how can he still not deal with a useless man who has lost all his martial arts and a young boy who is just starting out?"
Sikong Chang'an sneered and said: "Don't underestimate me, my nephew. He He had a lot of skills before he joined Qilin Pavilion. Now that he has become my seventh junior brother Xiao Hefeng, he will probably be able to master Long Yuan Palm and Mo Ying Sword Technique. To be honest, I want to kill Xiao Hefeng as soon as possible. Mu Yun wanted to take advantage. If my disciple Lu Bingyan hadn't been confused last time, Chu Muyun would have become my right-hand man."
Sect Leader Ishikawa frowned slightly: "Master Sikong, what exactly is this Xiao Hefeng. What's so special about it that makes you so afraid?"
A trace of cruelty flashed in Sikong Chang'an's eyes: "This Xiao Hefeng was also the number one figure in the world back then, with great martial arts and deep scheming skills. , it must be a big worry for me."
The leader of Sa Zhiyu snorted: "Then what should we do?"
Sikong Changan thought for a moment: "We can send out his men. elite disciples, secretly monitor their every move, and capture them in one fell swoop when the time comes."
Sa Zhiyu nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what Pavilion Master Sikong said."
p>After the three people reached an agreement, they left separately.
After returning to the Pavilion Master's Mansion, Sikong Changan planned to take a rest.
But at this time, a disciple came in to deliver a message: "Pavilion Master, King Qin Guang, the leader of the Wuchang Sect, and King Xue Ping, the leader of the Blood Knife Sect, sent someone to deliver a message, asking them to come to Qilin Pavilion in one month to say We have something important to discuss."
Sikong Changan frowned and thought to himself.
The Impermanence Sect and the Blood Knife Sect are both major sects in the world. Their elders sent letters at the same time, so there must be something important.
He said solemnly: "Do you know what the important matter is?"
The disciple shook his head: "It was not mentioned in the letter."
Sikong Changan After pondering for a moment, he said: "Well, we'll know in a month. You go down first."
After the disciple left, Sikong Changan sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
What is the purpose of this sudden letter from King Qin Guang and King Xueping?
Could it be that they learned about their plan to get rid of Xiao Hefeng’s master and apprentice?
No, not possible.
Only the three of them know this plan and it is impossible to leak it.
So, why did they come here this time?
Sikong Changan felt confused, but he knew that everything would be revealed in a month.
During this month, he must be fully prepared.
Whether it is to deal with Master Xiao Hefeng or the masters of the Impermanence Sect and the Blood Knife Sect.
The world of rivers and lakes has never been a peaceful place.
And he, Sikong Changan, must maintain his position in the changing world...
