Chapter 643 Coincidence
As the 'rationalist' finished his speech, everyone began to calm down and entered another mode of 'dementia'.

The man who had just shouted "wife and daughter" out of anger suddenly looked ashamed.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"What this brother said makes sense. I was just too excited just now."

Although these gangsters are not very smart, they still care about their reputation.

Even if they dare to do such things as attacking women, the elderly and the weak, they dare not publicize it. Instead, they must first package it with a layer of "righteousness" to occupy the moral high ground before taking action.

At this time, someone asked in confusion: "Why did you let go of Shi Yanwen's other two sons, but only attacked Qiao Rulai?"

"you still need to ask?"

Everyone sneered at the person who asked this question.

"Shi Yanwen's other two sons have been away from the martial arts world for a long time, so they may not know the inside story. But Qiao Rulai is his eldest son and the military advisor of the Hundred Martial Arts Association, so it is impossible for him not to be involved!"

Suddenly, someone sighed, "Ah... I didn't expect that the Hundred Martial Arts Association, which was formed by so many heroes, would eventually become a tool for them and their son to realize their ambitions and fight for power. How hateful!"

Then another voice sounded: "The Hundred Martial Arts Association is the 'Arbitration Court' of the Southern Martial Arts World. Such a sacred place must not be handed over to ambitious people like the Shi family!"

"We should pull down both of them and appoint someone else who is wise!!"

"That's right! I support it too!!"

"I agree too!"

……

Regardless of how the situation on the scene evolved, at this time, two miles away from the grove, two figures were constantly shuttling back and forth in the woods.

The person in front was slightly faster, as fast as a swallow, and flew ten feet away in one leap, showing his extraordinary Qinggong.
The people behind were slower, but they looked like tigers and leopards, and their movements were swift enough to leave many people in the martial arts world far behind.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a small hillside one after another.

Looking from here, you can clearly see the battle between Zang Jingren and Yao Yue.

"This is it!"

"The person who just released the sword energy was standing right here when he attacked. There are footprints left on the ground."

The two people who came were Lu Xiaofeng and the one-eyed dragon.

The moment the Mirror Man's mask fell off, they immediately took action, following the sword energy that had just fallen from the sky, and rushed over without stopping. Unfortunately...

"I was a step too late, and the person had already left."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I now strongly suspect that the guy who attacked Cang Jingren just now is in the same group as the one who used the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book on Cang Jingren that day!"

"Why don't you think it's the same person?"

"Because the person who attacked that day used his palm, while the person who attacked today used a sword."

"Whether it was that palm strike or that sword strike, the person who made the move was very far away from the target. To be able to successfully launch a sneak attack from such a distance means that the person who made the move must be an expert."

"Normally, it is difficult for someone to practice both palm techniques and sword techniques to such a high level at the same time."

"So this must not be a one-man show."

Lu Xiaofeng is not a chief constable, but his reasoning ability is quite good, and it can even be said that he is better than most of the senior chief constables in the court.

The one-eyed man nodded, agreeing with Lu Xiaofeng's reasoning, and then looked at him deeply again.

"I thought you were really killed before, but now it turns out that you are not dead..."

"So you faked your death and have been secretly observing the follow-up of the 'Nine Dragons Book', and even tracked down the Hidden Mirror Man?"

"good."

"This Nine Dragons Book came to me for no apparent reason, so of course I have to find out who is behind it."

The one-eyed dragon asked again: "Did you gain anything during this period?"

"Uh... barely."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly, and the one-eyed dragon fell silent immediately.

If you have not gained anything, then what have you been doing for the past ten days?
Just for fun?
"Ahem... It's not that I'm having too much fun. It's because the person behind the scenes didn't make any moves during this period. If he had revealed any clues, I would have gained nothing!"

After searching the place without any results, the two men had to exchange information with each other and then turned back.

By the time they returned to the forest, most of the people had already dispersed, with only a few left, continuing the topic of "historian conspiracy theory".

The two asked around a bit about what had just happened, and immediately frowned, feeling that something was fishy. "Something's wrong!"

"There's something wrong, maybe even twelve points!"

"It seems that the person who set up this trap is a very powerful wise man."

After reorganizing the context of the "Nine Dragons Book" incident, Lu Xiaofeng's thoughts suddenly became much clearer than before, and many of the doubts that he had not figured out before were finally answered at this moment.

"Everything is aimed at Shi Yanwen and Zang Jingren. The people behind the scenes want to bring them down."

"But what is it for?"

"Can a person from the Jianghu really have grudges against both Shi Yanwen and Cang Jingren at the same time?"

Normally speaking, if someone is a righteous person, he will most likely not be at odds with Shi Yanwen; if someone is an evil person, he should have some connection with Zang Jingren.

The one-eyed dragon disagreed with this idea: "The relationships between people in the martial arts world are extremely complicated. It is not impossible for such people to exist."

"That makes sense..."

Lu Xiaofeng murmured softly, suddenly turned around, and walked in one direction with a determined look.

The one-eyed dragon was puzzled when he saw this: "Where are you going?"

"Go find someone."

"Who?"

"Yaoyue."

"What are you doing with her?"

"The reason why Cang Jing Ren's background was exposed was because of Yao Yue's challenge. This challenge came too suddenly no matter how you look at it."

"So I need to find her and ask her why she wants to fight. Maybe I can get some clues from her."

Lu Xiaofeng's logic was fine, but the one-eyed dragon was not optimistic about his actions: "Given the character of the Yihua Palace Master, he may not be willing to answer all questions."

"Maybe Yaoyue is unwilling to cooperate, but we still have Lianxing, Hua Wuque and Lu Ping."

"They came together today, so they probably know the situation."

That's true.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

Just as the two were about to take action, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"No need to go. You won't get any clues from Yaoyue. This trip will be in vain."

They both turned around at the same time and saw Lu Ping.

"why?"

Lu Ping stepped forward and said calmly, "Because I am one of the people who knows best how this fight came about."

Then, he recounted the story of Hua Wuque and Xiao Yuer, the teachings and interference of Cang Jingren, and how Yao Yue got so angry that she challenged him to a public fight, from beginning to end.

"I can assure you that the people from Yihua Palace have nothing to do with the people who attacked Brother Shi Zang."

After hearing the whole story, even though Lu Xiaofeng and One-Eyed Dragon were both experienced in the martial arts world, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts that it was "outrageous" and "unbelievable".

"Of course I believe what you say."

"In that case, at least we can rule out the suspicion that Yihua Palace was involved in setting up the trap. Hmm... although we haven't made any progress in finding the mastermind, it's always good to have one less enemy."

At this point, Lu Xiaofeng's voice stopped abruptly, and his face changed drastically, as if he had thought of something.

“No! No!!…”

Lu Ping and One-Eyed Dragon looked at him puzzledly at the same time: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng was obviously confused, and even spoke faster: "The plan of the people behind the scenes against Shi Yanwen and Cang Jingren started from the second volume of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book."

"But what first led this matter to Cangjingren was what Ximen Chuxue and Hua Manlou said in the public pavilion on the day I faked my death."

"I always thought that they trusted me enough to see through my 'fake death', so they just casually said the name of the Mirror Man based on the injuries on the 'corpse'."

"But it was precisely because they gave the name of 'Cang Jing Ren', and it just so happened that Cang Jing Ren was in Nan Wulin at the time, that the subsequent events happened."

"Now it seems like too much of a coincidence!"
