"Isn't that Xiong Ying?"
Lin Xiaofei stood inside the spatial bead, muttering to himself.
"Help!"
A young man dressed in a blue robe, looking panicked, ran and shouted as he rushed out from the depths of the dark alley.
This person was Xiong Ying.
When Xiong Ying had run about two hundred meters from the depths of the alley, a figure emerged from the corner of the alley behind her.
The figure, wielding a long sword, leaped forward with incredible speed, his movements far exceeding Xiong Ying's frantic sprint.
Clearly, that figure was chasing Xiong Ying.
Lin Xiaofei used his Illusionary Eye Technique to clearly see the figure from a distance in the dark.
Lin Xiaofei saw the figure chasing Xiong Ying. Although the person's face was covered with a black cloth, he recognized the long knife in the person's hand and was immediately startled.
He still remembered what the long sword looked like.
Previously, Feng Yilun took him to the Qingfeng Gang's martial arts arena. After Liu Sanjiang arrived at the arena, he was invited up to the pavilion by his senior and junior sisters.
As Liu Sanjiang stepped into the pavilion, Lin Xiaofei noticed the long sword hanging at Liu Sanjiang's waist.
Soon, Liu Sanjiang leaped up, moving at lightning speed, and in just a few breaths, he was about to catch up with the madly running Xiong Ying.
Suddenly, Liu Sanjiang raised the hand holding the long knife and pushed it forward sharply. The long knife in his hand shot through the dark void like a sharp arrow, heading towards the running Xiong Ying.
In an instant, the long knife pierced through Xiong Ying's back.
"ah!"
With a scream, Xiong Ying immediately fell to the ground, rolling two or three meters due to the momentum of her run.
Liu Sanjiang leaped quickly to Xiong Ying's side. Seeing that Xiong Ying was dead, he hurriedly picked up Xiong Ying's weapon and his own longsword, turned around, and ran quickly to the other side of the alley.
Seeing that Liu Sanjiang's figure was about to disappear, Lin Xiaofei quickly stepped out of the spatial bead, and with a flash, quietly chased after him.
Within the Qingfeng Gang, Liu Sanjiang was the number one genius among the young disciples, and he even surpassed the top ten elite young disciples.
Now, Lin Xiaofei was both shocked and puzzled to see the other party kill Xiong Ying and then leave in a hurry.
Why did the other party want to kill Xiong Ying?
Lin Xiaofei quickly followed, circling around seven or eight alleys. Fortunately, he had the Illusionary Eye Technique, which allowed him to see Liu Sanjiang's rapidly running figure from a distance; otherwise, he would have easily lost track of him.
Finally, Lin Xiaofei followed Liu Sanjiang's figure and arrived at an alley not far from the Qingfeng Gang.
Liu Sanjiang entered the alley and quickly arrived at the door of a small residential courtyard. He stopped, looked around to make sure no one was following him, and then knocked on the door.
Soon, the courtyard gate was opened, and Liu Sanjiang entered.
"Liu Sanjiang came to this courtyard after killing people?"
Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked around and, seeing that no one was there, walked into the alley.
Then, upon arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Xiaofei peered through the tiny crack in the wooden door and discovered that the houses inside were brightly lit.
Lin Xiaofei tiptoed around the courtyard, then looked up at the wall and leaped into the air, disappearing into the courtyard.
Three minutes later, Lin Xiaofei learned something from the conversation and was shocked to discover Liu Sanjiang's secret. He dared not linger and quickly left, heading towards the Qingfeng Gang.
Should we tell the people in the Imperial Household Department about this?
Arriving at the entrance of the Qingfeng Gang, Lin Xiaofei stopped, his eyes narrowing slightly as he thought to himself.
Just then, Lin Xiaofei saw seven or eight inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang hurriedly emerge from an alley.
Among them, four people were carrying two corpses and walking briskly toward the gate of the Qingfeng Gang.
Several other inner disciples escorted them from the side, glancing around every now and then, as if on guard against something.
In an instant, Lin Xiaofei was startled. He recognized one of the corpses; it was Xiong Ying.
As they drew closer, one of the figures spotted Lin Xiaofei and quickly approached.
"Junior Brother Lin, what are you doing standing at the entrance of the Qingfeng Gang so late at night?"
Didn't I remind you not to go out at night? Why didn't you listen?
Feng Yilun came to Lin Xiaofei's side and said in a reproachful tone.
Lin Xiaofei didn't answer Feng Yilun's question, but smiled and asked:
"Senior brothers, what's going on here?"
Feng Yilun sighed, frowned, and said:
Well, today we followed a few senior brothers who were at the Inner Qi Realm to assist them in investigating Li Yunguo's death, and then we all returned home.
Unexpectedly, just as we had walked a short distance apart, we heard someone shouting for help. Only then did we realize what was happening and quickly gathered together.
However, in less than a minute, two inner disciples were pierced through the body with a single strike.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was shocked. He had thought that Liu Sanjiang had only killed one person, but it turned out that the other party had killed two people.
"This time, the method used to kill the two inner disciples was very similar to that used to kill Li Yunguo and others, so it can be said that it was done by the same person."
Moreover, one of the two dead was the son of Master Xiong, which will likely escalate the situation even further.
As he spoke, Feng Yilun, with a pained expression, paused for a moment and then continued:
Junior brother, you must remember this: never go out late at night, and during the day, never go into deserted alleys alone.
During these four or five days, no one was assassinated because of the investigation, but unexpectedly, the other side attacked our people the moment we relaxed our guard slightly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment, hesitated, and then said:
"Senior, didn't you just ask me why I was standing here? I'll tell you the reason now."
Feng Yilun was speaking with his head down and a sorrowful expression when he suddenly paused, looked up at Lin Xiaofei, and wondered what Lin Xiaofei meant.
"Senior brother, I know who killed the person you just carried in."
Lin Xiaofei said slowly.
"What?"
Feng Yilun was startled, his face turned serious, and he stared intently at Lin Xiaofei, saying:
Junior brother, you absolutely can't joke about this!
"Senior brother, I have no intention of joking with you."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei paused, raised one hand, pointed eastward, and continued:
Did you find a body in the darkness of Hongkou Alley on Southeast Road?
Feng Yilun frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly nodded, saying:
Junior brother, how did you know?
"I happened to be passing by there when I suddenly heard someone shouting for help. I quickly hid and then saw a person holding a long knife chasing someone."
Luckily, I hid in time, otherwise that person would have discovered me too.
Lin Xiaofei explained, half-truthfully.
