When they arrived at Hejiang City, the five of them first went to inquire about the news, and then sat in the inn room to discuss.
"This Luo Mansion is a Demon Cult location, so it must be heavily guarded. It's difficult for us to approach, so how can we capture Luo Jian?"
Just as the four of them were thinking hard, Xia Feng spoke.
"Tell him that the jade pendant in his hand is fake, and he will come out to meet you when the time comes."
Xia Feng's words frightened everyone, and Qi Zong asked anxiously,
"Ms. Zhu, how did you know the jade pendant was fake? Is it really in your hands?"
"It really was lost a long time ago." Xia Feng made up a lie. How could others know such a thing?
If she didn't tell me, who would know where the real jade pendant was.
"Impossible." Qi Zong's expression was a little out of control, and his voice was a little sharp.
Xia Feng glanced at him and said, "The jade pendant has been passed down for hundreds of years. Isn't it normal for it to be lost?"
"The reason why my Zhu family lives in seclusion is that we don't want to get involved in these disputes."
"Actually, it's a good thing the jade pendant was lost. It just calmed down the fight. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died."
Xia Feng's words seemed to be persuasive, but he was also testing something.
It was too late for Ning Biqiao to pull Qi Zong over.
"No, my mother is still waiting for me to save her. I must find the treasure. I must find it. Only then can I save my mother."
Ning Biqiao sighed. How could Brother Qi be so easy to deceive? She looked at Xia Feng coldly.
"Didn't Miss Zhu say she didn't know about the jade pendant? Why is she now saying it's long been lost? Isn't that contradictory?"
Qi Zong's eyes regained some luster and he looked at Xia Feng hopefully.
"I also learned about this from a secret letter my father left behind before I came here, so I forged a jade pendant and placed it in the study."
What Xia Feng said seemed perfect, but Ning Biqiao still didn't quite believe it. This was a treasure that concerned the whole world. Whoever got it would get the whole world. She didn't believe that the Zhu family would let it go.
Moreover, the loss was too simple, and she said this suddenly. In addition, she couldn't see through Xia Feng, so she remained highly suspicious, but she was sure that she must know something.
So Ning Biqiao didn't say anything nonsense.
"Ms. Zhu, I think we can be frank and honest with each other. There's no need to hide anything. We have the same goal and we both have a deep hatred for the Demon Cult.
After all these days together, Miss Zhu still doesn't trust us."
Xia Feng glanced at her calmly, "The reason a secret is a secret is that the fewer people who know it, the better.
Everyone has their own secrets, and some don't want others to know. I think Miss Ning should understand."
Ning Biqiao's eyes narrowed and her lips pursed, but she didn't say much.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing. Long Yuanling and Bai Yihan looked at this scene, not knowing what to say.
It was Qi Zong who broke the silence.
"Then I won't hide it. The reason I want to collect the jade pendants and find the treasure is for my mother.
My mother and I depended on each other for survival, but a year ago my mother was kidnapped and told that only by finding a treasure that was a hundred years old could I save her life.
Only then did I realize that I was actually a descendant of the five people from a hundred years ago."
"Half a year ago, all the members of my Bai family except me were killed by the Demon Cult because of the jade pendant, so I want to seek revenge on the Demon Cult." There was murderous intent in Bai Yi's cold voice.
"There is a traitor in Longfeng Valley. With the help of insiders and outsiders, the jade pendant was stolen." Long Yuanling followed up.
"Everyone has seen the Zhu family's situation, but I want to remind everyone.
With just the five of us, let alone dealing with the Demon Sect, we can hardly even defeat one of their hall masters."
After all, the martial arts skills of a leader of the Demon Sect are only at the level of a second-rate master in the martial arts world.
Ning Biqiao snorted coldly. "We won't be this strong forever. Even if we're not as talented as you, Miss Zhu, we won't hold you back."
Xia Feng ignored the meaning of Ning Biqiao's words, and finally decided that Ning Biqiao, who had the best lightness skills among the five, would deliver the letter to Luo's house and lead Luo Jian to the woods southeast outside the city.
Things went very smoothly, and Luo Jian came to the appointment alone.
After seeing Xia Feng's face clearly, he sneered.
"You Zhu family are really capable. You dare to lie to me even after you die."
"It seems that letting you go was the right decision. Hand over the real jade pendant quickly so that you can suffer less. Otherwise, if you go to see your parents with injuries all over your body, your parents in the underworld will be heartbroken when they see you."
Xia Feng immediately took out the jade pendant from his arms and threw it towards Luo Jian.
Luo Jian hesitated at this moment. He didn't expect Xia Feng to hand over the jade pendant so quickly. The jade pendant fell in front of Luo Jian, but he didn't dare to pick it up.
Xia Feng sneered, "Luo Jian, the jade pendant has been handed over, but why don't you dare to move it? You are the leader of the Demon Sect, but you are so timid."
Luo Jian was extremely alert. The situation before him was obviously abnormal. He sneered.
"It will be the same after I kill you and take the jade pendant."
"Luo Jian, haven't you realized that you have been tricked? You are as stupid as a pig." Xia Feng chuckled, and then the five of them attacked Luo Jian together.
Luo Jian didn't understand what Xia Feng meant yet, but looking at her smile and her words, he realized something was wrong and secretly checked himself.
At the same time, a whistle was sounded, and a group of men in black rushed out from behind, flashing coldly in the dark night.
But at this moment, Xia Feng had already rushed to his face with a sword, and he could only draw his sword and fight back.
Xia Feng and Bai Yihan went to meet Luo Jian, while Qi Zong and the other two charged into the group of men in black.
Xia Feng and Bai Yihan, one of them swung his sword vigorously, and the other used a strange and explosive sword technique. In addition, Luo Jian was confused about what Xia Feng had just said, so he didn't dare to use his full strength for a while.
But Luo Jian is indeed a second-rate master in the martial arts world. His swordsmanship is vicious and every move is meant to take someone's life.
