Chapter 57: Yinfeng Alliance?
Chapter 57
Who are they? Why is the Peak Master in such a hurry? Where will Senior Sister Zhong be taken?
Could it be that the Peak Master already knows who kidnapped Senior Sister Zhong?
Bu Xingjin's unease grew like a surging undercurrent, gradually spreading, like a drop of rich ink spreading freely in clear water, ultimately transforming into an indescribable anxiety. The unexpected silence of the communication talisman weighed heavily on his chest like an immensely heavy rock, plunging him into an unprecedented sense of heaviness and oppression. He desperately tried to calm the turmoil within him, but the invisible pressure only grew stronger, like an invisible beast with its bloody maw gaping, ready to devour him whole.
Under normal circumstances, a communication symbol's connection would never be interrupted or lost for no apparent reason. When this extremely unusual situation occurred, it often pointed to only one frightening possibility: the Peak Master had changed his position at astonishing speed, moving a great distance in a very short time, far beyond the effective communication range of the communication symbol.
He didn't hear the most crucial part. He didn't know whether the Peak Master did it on purpose or it was just a coincidence that the Peak Master moved just when he heard the crucial part.
Bu Xingjin believed this matter was of grave importance, far from ordinary. He speculated that those who had captured Senior Sister Zhong were undoubtedly extraordinary individuals. Perhaps in the eyes of the Peak Master, even if those with limited cultivation went to assist, they would not only be unable to provide substantial assistance, but would also likely put themselves in unnecessary and extreme danger. Therefore, the Peak Master resolutely chose to go alone, single-handedly confronting this sudden and inexplicable crisis.
He knew the situation was urgent and critical, and he couldn't afford to lose even a moment. Regardless, he had already found this place, so how could he give up halfway?
Bu Xingjin quickly arrived outside Shifang City, searching anxiously, but he couldn't find the familiar figure of the Fuhua Peak Master. For some reason, an inexplicable unease welled up within him, like a fine spider web, slowly entangling his heart, nearly suffocating him. He tried again to contact the Peak Master, but it was like a stone falling on deaf ears. The communication talisman remained unresponsive, as if devoured by some mysterious, powerful, and invisible force.
Bu Xingjin frowned, his mind racing, thoughts whirling rapidly, like a seasoned chess player meticulously calculating his next move on an intricately constructed board. He decided to first conduct a meticulous search around Shifang City, watching for any unusual signs or suspicious activity.
As he was searching carefully, he suddenly encountered a group of mysterious men in black in a remote place. Each of these men in black had a high level of cultivation. The leader was at the Jindan stage like him, and the others were at the Foundation Establishment stage.
They were attacking an injured old man and a child of about ten. Bu Xingjin couldn't detect the old man's cultivation level, but seeing that he could easily protect a child without cultivation level even though he was injured and surrounded, he knew that the old man's cultivation level must be extraordinary.
Bu Xingjin was alert and tried to avoid them, but was discovered and surrounded by the men in black. The old man took this opportunity to quickly leave with the child.
The men in black attacked Bu Xingjin without hesitation, their weapons and spells blazing. Bu Xingjin instantly pulled out a knife from his system backpack, its blade gleaming with a cold gleam, infused with spiritual energy. Unleashing his fierce swordsmanship, he engaged the leading black-clad men head-on, sparks flying from the clash of blades. The surrounding black-clad men also unleashed spells, sending fireballs and icy arrows hurtling towards Bu Xingjin. Bu Xingjin nimbly dodged, counterattacking with his sword, leaving the scene in chaos.
After a fierce fight, Bu Xingjin finally got rid of their entanglement and quickly ran towards Shifang City.
After entering Shifang City, the man in black stopped chasing him. Bu Xingjin could only sigh that he was unlucky and had suffered such a disaster.
But he didn't have time to deal with the man in black now. The most urgent thing was to find Senior Sister Zhong.
Since the master of Fuhua Peak was able to see who had committed the murder against Senior Sister Zhong when he heard that someone was swept away by the storm, then in this vast world, there must be other capable people who can see through the truth hidden behind the scenes.
Bu Xingjin hurriedly contacted Zhao Siwen and explained the complicated situation to him in detail. He asked him to be careful and not leave Shifang City, and solemnly instructed him to focus on the mysterious evil wind.
Bu Xingjin returned to the Governor's Hall again, and this time he did not return empty-handed like last time.
After hearing his question, the clerk in the governor's office said at first that he had some impression of it. Then, after flipping through the files for half an hour, he gave the answer directly.
"It sounds like someone from the Yinfeng League."
On the other hand, the leader of Fuhua Peak did intentionally not finish his words.
Part of the reason was that he was truly anxious and eager to find his daughter, and he didn't want to waste even a moment.
On the other hand, the key was that he knew the Yinfeng League very well, fully aware of its extreme difficulty and dangers. The wind that swept away the heart was their unique symbol. Whenever they wanted to capture someone, they used this method, and they didn't worry about anyone knowing it was their doing. Their arrogance was extreme.
The Yinfeng League is a mysterious sect that strikes fear in the hearts of practitioners. Its membership is a mixed bag, a den of evil. From the leader to the members, they are all ruthless and brutal, acting with arrogance and brazenness, never concealing their actions, as if taunting the world. They are brutal and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, whether it's burning, killing, looting, or all sorts of sinister schemes.
The alliance is filled with experts, including some skilled in sorcery and mystical techniques, and has committed many acts that have angered both heaven and man. However, that was over a hundred years ago. After several rounds of suppression by several major sects, led by the Amaterasu Sect, the world thought the Yinfeng League had vanished from the martial arts world. Unexpectedly, it has now revived.
He knew very well that Bu Xingjin and the others' current cultivation was not high enough, and they would be in great danger if they met.
After leaving the Governor's Hall, Bu Xingjin continued to inquire around the city. He went into an inn, hoping to get some useful clues from passing travelers.
However, people didn't seem to know much about the Yinfeng League. Bu Xingjin specifically asked loudly about the Yinfeng League, but found that most of the people who listened had confused expressions.
Just as he was feeling disappointed, a mysterious old man quietly approached him and said in a low voice, "Young man, the Yinfeng League has disappeared for a hundred years. You are asking for trouble by asking about them. However, seeing your anxious face, I would like to remind you that the Yinfeng League has reappeared in the world. I heard that they have been active in the Black Wind Valley outside the city recently. If you want to find them, you may try your luck there, but be careful and don't lose your life."
Bu Xingjin was delighted. After thanking the old man, he contacted Zhao Siwen. After discussing, the two decided to go to Black Wind Valley to find out what was going on.
They are not the kind of people who seek death. Both of them hold teleportation talismans in their hands, and if they see the situation is not good, they will immediately use the teleportation talismans to leave.
The Black Wind Valley is dozens of miles away from Shifang City, and it can be reached in less than an incense stick of flying time by flying on a sword.
A hundred meters away from the Black Wind Valley, the two men descended from the air and observed the Black Wind Valley from afar.
