If Dianzhu is indeed the leader of Wufeng, then the Qingfeng Sect incident back then was not as simple as it seemed. His father had mentioned the current situation to him before. The number of people from the Qingfeng Sect who had joined Wufeng was actually not large, and almost all the familiar faces from before had been replaced.

"Back then, I was still young. The Lonely Mountain Sect was suddenly attacked by Wu Feng. In the rush, my mother hid me in a stone cave. I saw with my own eyes that the leader was none other than Dian Zhu from the Qingfeng Sect! Later, I was still discovered, and in my haste to escape, I fell off a cliff."

"Maybe I was lucky. I didn't die from falling from such a high place, but I lost my memory. Dianzhu took advantage of this opportunity to say that I was her apprentice. If my memory hadn't accidentally returned a few years ago, I'm afraid I would still be recognizing a thief as my father!" Shangguan Qian said through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. Just thinking about that extremely hypocritical person made her feel extremely disgusted!

That's true. Dianzhu is indeed very cunning. Her junior sister and Shangguan Qian's martial uncle were in love, but when Dianzhu found out, she severed their tendons and crippled their martial arts, throwing them back to their sect.

In truth, the reason Dianzhu did such a heinous thing was simply because she wanted the elders in the sect to see clearly what kind of person they were supporting. Through this opportunity, she could eliminate all those who supported Zhuomei, leaving only those on her side.

Some of them were taken to Wufeng by her, while others remained in Qingfeng Sect.

Shangguan Qian was silent for a while, seemingly recalling her childhood life at the Lonely Mountain Sect, where her family had once lived, only to be destroyed in a single night. She continued, saying something that piqued Gong Shangjiao's interest: "Dianzhu was the leader of the Wufeng Sect. Ever since I regained my memories, I've been plotting to poison him without anyone noticing. As a Wufeng Demon Rank cultivator, I need to go out on missions..."

I disguised myself and bought the most potent poison at the palace gate stronghold and sent it to Xianchen. The time I poisoned her happened to be when Wufeng was holding his regular meeting. Dianzhu couldn't show up in person, so she asked me to go in her place. But I didn't expect that the leader of Wufeng didn't see her until the end of the meeting.

I know very well that the leader of Wufeng has never missed a regular meeting. Soon, news spread within Wufeng that Dianzhu had been poisoned and had sent an assassin to the palace gates to steal the antidote! At this point, Shangguan Qian truly wished she could kill that assassin from back then.

And those idiots in the palace are really something else. They had already killed the assassin, so why didn't they check if anything was hidden? They just brazenly let the people from Wufeng get the antidote. If it weren't for the antidote, Dianzhu would have died long ago. How could he have had to deal with all this troublesome stuff for so long?

Gong Shangjiao turned to look at his younger brother Yuanzheng and saw him nod slightly. Only then did he believe the news brought by Shangguan Qian. It was indeed a great gain. However, there was one thing he did not understand: were all the direct descendants of Qingfeng Sect from Fenggong Palace behind their palace gate?

Unfortunately, he is not Gong Yuanzheng and does not have the ability to hear the thoughts of animals.

They could roughly guess what would happen next. Young Master Yue was so in love with that assassin Wu Feng back then, he even thought of faking his death—such a sophisticated scheme—yet Yun Que ultimately betrayed him.

The herbal extract was taken out of the palace gate and delivered to Dianzhu. Because of this herbal extract that could cure all poisons, Dianzhu, who was originally on the verge of death, was brought back to life. At this time, Gong Yuanzheng was very angry. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. But the angrier he became, the more he thought about it. It was all that Young Master Yue's fault. Why did he have to make such a fuss? As long as he kept the person trapped in the palace gate, after a few years, the people of Wufeng would naturally think that the person was dead.

Just like with Mist Princess, he simply refused to believe it. Back then, Mist Princess was without a blade, as both the Blade Master and Elder Moon knew. Elder Moon was able to control the Crescent Fly within Mist Princess to prevent it from flaring up, so why couldn't he help control his own son?

Moreover, this plan was definitely not done by just one person back then. The fact that none of these people discovered it truly proves the saying, "If you're blind, donate your eyes to those who are useful."

After Shangguan Qian finished speaking, Gong Shangjiao left with his men. Shangguan Qian stood behind him, secretly heartbroken, her eyes downcast and unfocused, lost in thought. Now that her identity had been exposed, the fact that they hadn't had her imprisoned meant they probably wanted to use her current status.

When they returned to the Horn Palace, they ran into Song Qingli, who was out for a stroll. Since being chosen as the bride by Gong Shangjiao and moving into the Horn Palace, Song Qingli had rarely shown her face. These days, she had been taking the herbal medicine that Gong Yuanzheng had prepared for her.

Her health was much better than before, and she even asked the young master Bai to help her send a message to her family to let them know that her daughter's congenital illness had finally shown some improvement. The Song family was overjoyed.
