"We'll definitely make it; there are still ten days left." Guo Fu was very much looking forward to her mother seeing Brother Lin.

Brother Lin is handsome and skilled in martial arts; Mother will surely be pleased with him.

Guo Fu thought to herself with delight.

She doesn't want to marry Da Wu or Xiao Wu.

Lu Wushuang was very happy to hear that she was going back to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is her home. She kept saying she wanted to go back last time, but Lin Bufan came here to seek opportunities from the Xiaoyao Sect.

Today, by chance, and with Ding Chunqiu killed, they can finally return to Jiangnan.

The group set off on their journey home in high spirits.

Half a day later.

Several more people arrived at this place.

The ringleader, Abbot Xuanci, and his followers, Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun.

Abbot Xuanci wore a large bamboo hat, a black cloak, and gray-black clothing. He also wore a black veil that covered half of his face, preventing outsiders from seeing his features.

Few people in the world know his true identity; only a handful of people, including Grandpa Tan and Grandma Tan, know it.

"They're all dead. They're all dead."

"We're a step too late."

"That Lin Bufan must be very skilled in martial arts to be able to kill the old monster Ding Chunqiu."

"He must have had helpers, otherwise, he couldn't have killed hundreds of people by himself."

"Hey boss, what do you think?"

Abbot Xuanci said coldly and ruthlessly, "This man is extremely violent. The divine skills of the Xiaoyao Sect will only cause more bloodshed in his hands. We should find him and kill him on behalf of Heaven."

Tan Gongdao: "The leader is right, Lin Bufan must die."

Zhao Qiansun asked doubtfully, "But where is he now? After killing Ding Chunqiu to avenge Wuyazi, where would he go?"

As the group was talking, another group of people came running from a distance—disciples of the Beggars' Sect.

Among them, Elder Bai Shijing and Grand Elder Quan Guanqing walked to the front.

Without a doubt, they were also after the secret manuals of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

"Dead? Ding Chunqiu is dead?"

When the Beggars' Sect members arrived, they also showed the same shocked expression.

At the same time, he looked at Abbot Xuanci and the others with suspicion.

Abbot Xuanci coldly said, "What are you looking at us for? Do you think we killed these people?"

Quan Guanqing asked, "Could it be that Lin Bufan killed him?"

Abbot Xuanci declared confidently, "Of course, their deaths from having their internal energy drained were definitely due to the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

How did you know?

"I knew it."

"Who are you?"

You can call me... the leader.

When Abbot Xuanci uttered these words, his entire body exuded boundless majesty, domineering aura, and murderous intent.

It was terrifying and made one's heart race.

Quan Guanqing was stunned, staring blankly at Abbot Xuanci, and exclaimed in shock, "You're the leader mentioned in the letter, the leader Qiao Feng has been looking for?"

At this time, the Xingzilin incident had just passed, and the death of the deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan was causing a great uproar.

Everyone believed that Qiao Feng killed Ma Dayuan, and it was even revealed that Qiao Feng was a Khitan.

Qiao Feng has resigned from his position as leader of the Beggars' Clan, and the clan is now in turmoil with its power severely fragmented.

Everyone wants to be the gang leader, but Quan Guanqing has the biggest ambition.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were not high enough, so he wanted to come and capture Lin Bufan's opportunity with the Xiaoyao Sect so that he could learn divine skills and unify the world.
