incredible!
Xiao Feng quickly got up.
"Master, your disciple knows his mistake. Let's set off immediately!"
A moment later, two figures, one in black and one in blue, disappeared from the entrance of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Many elders looked toward the two figures.
Perhaps this will be the last time they see each other.
This time, Xiao Feng and the others were under immense pressure, as were those who remained at the Spirit Sword Sect.
New dark clouds are coming!
Dark clouds loom over the city!
Throughout the journey, Xiao Feng remained preoccupied with his own thoughts.
After all, he had just come out on a whim, and he really didn't know how to explain it when he got there.
Li Luo seemed to have noticed Xiao Feng's psychological problem and couldn't help but ask a question.
"What have you been thinking about all this way, kid?"
"Always so bitter and resentful!"
Having his secret exposed, Xiao Feng made no attempt to hide anything.
"Master, I'm wondering how to get Qin Jian Manor to release the people?"
Setting off was just an impulse; it was only along the way that I started thinking about how to solve the problems.
The resort proposed a hostage exchange!
But now, the hostage is dead...
Li Luo, on the contrary, had an indifferent expression.
"What method? Isn't there already a method?"
ah?
Xiao Feng was very surprised.
It seems like I've missed out on a lot.
"Is Gongsun Yan dead?"
Li Luo shook her head to herself.
"How is that possible? With his strength, he could have survived even if he were just a head, but you turned him to ashes!"
Xiao Feng looked somewhat embarrassed...
so what?
"Master, you don't mean you want me to impersonate him, do you?"
"I don't think I look like him at all!"
Li Luo was speechless and pulled a porcelain bottle out of her pocket.
"Of course not, Gongsun Yan is inside!"
this...
That's outrageous!
Xiao Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
So, they exchanged ashes for a real person?
"Master, if we try to exchange these ashes, the manor lord will kill us both!"
Li Luo, on the contrary, had a very carefree and easygoing demeanor.
Don't worry, there's always a way out!
"Speaking of which, what kind of formation did Elder Sha teach you?"
Elder Sha?
Li Luo is also an elder in the sect. Even when he sees the sect leader, he will call him senior brother.
But when facing Sau, she would only respectfully address him as Elder.
Sha Wu is the most senior member of the Spirit Sword Sect!
If it weren't for his sacrifice, the Spirit Sword Sect would probably have been wiped out long ago.
Xiao Feng told him everything.
Li Luo didn't object at all.
"I see. Then you must study hard, but don't neglect your cultivation!"
"You have quite the talent, kid. The sect leader told me that you will be the pinnacle of this continent!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng revealed a longing expression.
The pinnacle of the Lingxiao Continent?
He doesn't even dare to think about it now!
Is that really the case?
Seeing Xiao Feng's bewildered expression, Li Luo remained as carefree as ever.
"Don't worry, if your senior says you can do it, then you can do it!"
"As expected of my disciple!"
Li Luo is just like a child; she can't wait to show off the toys she gets.
After a few days' journey, the two quickly arrived at that secluded place.
Qinjian Manor.
This place, however, was not as mysterious as Xiao Feng had imagined.
Upon seeing this villa, only one thought occupied Xiao Feng's mind.
A bandit's den?
These three words alone make this place look exactly like a bandit stronghold.
Two men dressed in tattered clothes stood guard at the entrance, watching them intently.
He had a tattered-looking knife tucked into his waistband, and his fierce expression was written all over his face.
Foolish!
Upon seeing Xiao Feng and his companion arrive, the first person immediately adopted a wary expression.
"What do you two do for a living?"
Li Luo spoke calmly.
"Spirit Sword Sect has arrived! Exchange hostages!"
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately adopted a respectful expression.
Xiao Feng stepped forward and made a slight probe.
This guard doesn't even have any cultivation?
That's so strange!
The gatekeeper of this prestigious manor has absolutely no cultivation level.
Nobody would believe this if I told them!
Their subsequent reactions further confirmed Xiao Feng's thoughts.
Upon learning of Xiao Feng and his companion's identities, the two guards became extremely respectful.
"So, you are visitors from the Spirit Sword Sect. Please wait a moment while I go and fetch them!"
As they were talking, the two guards rushed inside.
A moment later, a scholar-like man came out.
Upon seeing Li Luo, he walked up to her with a familiar expression.
"Li Luo, long time no see?"
The voice carried a hint of ambiguity, as well as a touch of naivety.
Li Luo forced an awkward smile.
"Gongsun Zhi, it has indeed been a long time!"
"This is Xiao Feng, my newly accepted disciple!"
The two exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries, and then Gongsun Zhi began searching around.
"Gongsun, what are you looking for?"
Li Luo continued speaking.
Where is Gongsun Yan?
Gongsun Zhi asked directly.
Li Luo, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant and quickly handed over the porcelain bottle in her hand.
"Look, it's right here!"
What?
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi froze on the spot.
"Dead...dead?"
Li Luo seemed to have no intention of hiding anything, and felt that such a thing could not be hidden at all.
"Yes, he died. He was turned to ashes!"
Gongsun Zhi was shocked and could not accept Gongsun Yan's death.
But Li Luo remained calm and composed.
Tell them everything that happened that day.
Xiao Feng quickly took responsibility.
"Mr. Gongsun, it was indeed I who killed Gongsun Yan. I am willing to accept any punishment!"
With that, Xiao Feng respectfully knelt on the ground, drew the sword from his waist, and raised it high.
Seeing this, Li Luo couldn't help but internally complain.
What a spineless coward!
They confessed so quickly?
Li Luo originally wanted to shift the blame to Zhong Ling, but she didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so frank.
Seeing Xiao Feng's state, Gongsun Zhi calmed down.
It wasn't because Xiao Feng gave in, but rather because he was wary of Li Luo's cultivation level.
On the entire continent, Li Luo's cultivation level is considered to be among the top.
I am no match for them!
Left with no other choice, Gongsun Zhi had to be the first to back down.
"Alas, Gongsun Yan was in the wrong first, so let him die!"
These words left Xiao Feng stunned.
The things I'd been worrying about all the way here.
Is it really that easy to solve?
Before she could react, Li Luo decisively took out the apology she had prepared long ago.
“Our Spirit Sword Sect has always been fair in its dealings. If someone is killed, we should naturally provide compensation. This thing is yours!”
The treasure was quite valuable, but Gongsun Zhi's heart was still unsettled.
This... is so smooth and flowing!
Everything seemed to have been prepared all along.
Helpless, Gongsun Zhi shook his head.
"Li Luo, I think I need some time to calm down. I'll leave first!"
