Flying Clouds in Another World

Zheng Zhou looked at Liu Feiyun lying on the bed and said slowly: "On the surface, this is the blood debt your father owed you. Back then, your father led his army to defeat the Northern Wilderness and massacred nearly one million people from various tribes in the Northern Wilderness. His reputation was so fierce that it could make children in the Northern Wilderness stop crying! Many people in the Northern Wilderness hate your father to the core, and the assassin was the secret agent sent to our dynasty by the Northern Wilderness Canglang Tribe!"

"Northern Wilderness! Canglang Tribe? Death Soldiers! Secret Agents?" Liu Feiyun seemed to understand something:

His father in this life, Le'an Earl Liu Shihao, was born in the Fufeng Liu family. However, he was not the eldest son and did not have the qualifications to inherit the Fufeng Liu family's earldom. The fact that he was able to be named Le'an Earl and become one of the few newly promoted nobles in the territory in the past two or three decades was largely due to his contribution to the destruction of the Northern Wilderness.

More than 20 years ago, Liu Shihao led his army to conquer the Northern Wilds, and with 80,000 infantry and cavalry, he defeated nearly 300,000 armored cavalry in the Northern Wilds, destroying the wealth accumulated by the Northern Wilds tribes for decades. Afterwards, he launched a bloody massacre against the wolf tribes that controlled the Northern Wilds royal court at the time, killing countless young and strong people. For nearly 20 years, the people of the Northern Wilds dared not go south to plunder, and could only be busy with internal fighting. Therefore, the people in the northern border of the empire also had temporary peace.

It can be said that the Northern Wilderness tribes, especially the wolf tribes, hate their father Liu Shihao deeply. Apart from other things, since I traveled to this world and left home to study in Miyun Sect for ten years, assassinations from the Northern Wilderness have never stopped. However, with the counterattacks and retaliations of the Liu family's Tiger Power Iron Guards and Green Willow Guards, the frequency of assassinations has become lower and lower, until there have been no more in the past two or three years. Unexpectedly, these barbarians from the Northern Wilderness actually came to Miyun Sect to assassinate me this time.

Zheng Zhou continued, "But, there may be another hidden story behind this Northern Wilderness assassin! You have to know that anyone who participates in the sect entrance trial is required not to bring weapons or poisons privately. His steel needle is more than an inch long, and it is hard to hide because it is poisoned. How did he avoid inspection and bring it in? Moreover, your decision to go to Wensan Pass was made on the morning of the incident. How did the assassin get the news? Finally, who gave them the courage to openly assassinate my disciples during the trial of recruiting new members in my Miyun Sect!"

"Uncle Master, what do you mean..."

"There must be someone from the Northern Wilderness inside the sect who is behind this, which is why he succeeded in his attack and nearly killed you! Boy! From now on, even in the sect, you have to be more careful! After all, we old guys can't always be by your side!"

"Master uncle... Yun'er knows!"

In the next few days, Liu Feiyun rested in Yaoxiang Valley, and only returned to Wuyin Peak five days later.

Returning to Wuyin Peak again, Liu Feiyun immediately felt the difference from the past. The Wuyin Peak, which used to be deserted, became lively now. This time, the mountain gate was wide open, and the sect was recruiting new members. The Wuyin Peak lineage recruited more than 30 people at once. Among them, there were five people from the Liu family, four people from the Hua Xixiu family, and two people from Hu Lie. Liu Feiyun saw that these people with connections accounted for one-third of the total number of people, and he sighed in his heart: If people in this world want to go further in the path of martial arts, in addition to personal talent and wealth, they also have to rely on interpersonal relationships!

At the same time, Liu Feiyun could also see the difference in martial arts strength between the Liu, Hua, and Hu families from the current martial arts strength of these eleven people:

Although the Anping Liu family he belongs to is the first generation of nobles, it was founded by military merit after all. Most of its retainers are old military subordinates of his father Liu Shihao, and they are full of martial virtues. Moreover, as a noble of the territory, the people in the territory provide the Liu family with more population resources than ordinary honor nobles. Coupled with his mother's natural business acumen, the Liu family's wealth has accumulated rapidly, providing relatively sufficient training resources for the Liu family to cultivate martial artists. However, due to the fact that the Anping Liu family was founded too shortly, the historical precipitation can be said to be basically equal to zero, so only one of the five people who entered Wuyin Peak became an inner disciple, and the other four were outer disciples.

Although Hua Xixiu usually doesn't want to talk about the Hua family, Liu Feiyun can guess from her words that the Hua family is a family with a long history. The historical heritage of the family is likely to be longer than the history of the Dachen Dynasty. But Liu Feiyun had never heard of the Hua family when he was at home before, which means that the Hua family must have declined compared to before. But the profound historical heritage should not be underestimated. Among the four people who entered Wuyin Peak this time, two became inner disciples and two became outer disciples.

As for the Hu family that Hu Lie belongs to, the Hu family is just a merchant family that has risen recently. In the words of Liu Feiyun in his previous life, it is a nouveau riche, and it is just a local rich nouveau riche who can dominate a county. Its strength is similar to that of the Qingyu Xu family before it climbed to the position of a county governor. The two people who entered Wuyin Peak this time were only nominal disciples.

Liu Feiyun's return naturally made several senior brothers very happy. However, the eldest senior brother Mutu was taciturn and the second senior brother Qi Hanyu was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and was even more reluctant to speak. The two of them simply asked about his recovery, told him to take care of himself, and then went about their own business.

Only Hu Lie pulled Liu Feiyun to a secluded place, checked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said solemnly: "Junior brother! Your assassination has alarmed many people! Even the sect leader has inquired about it. Although it was finally classified as an ordinary revenge killing, I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Liu Feiyun knew that his third senior brother was known as the Smiling Fox, a smooth person with a wide range of friends and well-informed. At the same time, he was also very thoughtful and meticulous.

Liu Feiyun had already received Zheng Zhou's warning, and now he heard Hu Lie say the same thing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother! What do you mean? Hasn't the assassin's identity been confirmed by now?"

Hu Lie thought about it again and again, and then continued: "The assassin is indeed from Beihuang, but the fake identity he used is not from Beihuang. The most important thing is how he determined your location at the time and the role you held in the inner disciple trial, and how the conditions required for the assassination method he used were met. He can't do all of this by himself!"

"Third Senior Brother, so you also think there is an assassin inside this sect?"

"More than that. The status of this traitor in the sect should not be too low, and there may be more than one!" When Hu Lie said this, the solemn expression on his face became even more serious.
