The Villain's Counterattack

As holy places of Buddhism, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple have their own unique features. They first informed Kou Zhong through Wang Shichong, and then found Wang Tong to advertise to the world. One announced that the Heshi Bi was stolen and the thieves were unjust, and the other vaguely pointed out Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, laying the groundwork for the next step of framing them.

However, neither Shi Feixuan nor Zen Master Liaokong, after knowing that there was more than one grand master present at the time, really doubted that the two little guys could get the Heshi Bi back. It was just that they were a little unlucky and happened to be scapegoats.

Ba Fenghan came out to meet Xu Ziling, but he was in a very bad mood. It turned out that he went to find Shan Wanjing to get information, but he had a quarrel with her. Shan Wanjing seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Ba Fenghan's mixing with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and said that Li Shimin was the true emperor chosen by Cihang Jingzhai, and they should not conflict with him.

Perhaps it was because he was in a different situation, Ba Fenghan had a good impression of Shan Wanjing. He only saw that Shan Wanjing was quite respectful of Li Shimin at this time, and completely forgot that she had treated Li Shimin and other legitimate sons of aristocratic families equally without bias before.

To be more precise, he kept his distance. Shan Wanjing was closer to him than to those disciples from aristocratic families. This attitude really made Ba Fenghan angry, but he was unable to calm down and think carefully about the reason.

At the Dongming Sect's Luoyang stronghold, Shan Wanjing smiled as she brought tea to Xiaoyaozi. "Master," she said, "are you satisfied with my performance just now? I wonder if that idiot can wake up in time and grasp what I'm trying to convey. What a shame for such a useful chess piece."

Xiaoyaozi glanced at the delighted little girl and said, "You were born in the Dongming Sect and are my disciple. Your future achievements are limitless. Although your martial arts skills may not be comparable to Ba Fenghan, your status and achievements are destined to be high. Ba Fenghan comes from a humble background, is self-deprecating and proud. You can be friends or confidants, but you can never be lovers. This time, you treat him like this, he may not bear a grudge against you, and he may even think of taking the opportunity to sever his feelings for you. If I am not mistaken, he will find a way to take Bian Bufu's head to say goodbye to you."

Shan Wanjing's eyes lit up when she heard that. Her martial arts skills were already pretty good, but there was still some gap compared to Bian Bufu. After all, there was a difference between a half-step master and a master. What's more, facing Bian Bufu, the scumbag father, her psychological weakness was too obvious. Ba Fenghan was different. He had a complete psychological advantage.

Not to mention Shan Wanjing pestering her master Xiaoyaozi for a reward, Ba Fenghan, Xu Ziling, and Kou Zhong strolled through Luoyang's bustling Tian Street in a V-shaped formation. Their swagger was undisguised, as they chatted and laughed, pointing and commenting on things that caught their attention, sometimes stopping to examine them closely and assess them.

After Xu Ziling noticed and identified several groups of pursuers, they suddenly exerted their strength and used their feet to slide through the gaps between the crowd like loaches, moving left and right, slow and fast, moving sideways and straight, and shaking off many pursuers.

But for the real masters, they are still a little bit short. After all, their age is there, and it will take more time to make up for it. Kou Zhong guessed whether the person who came was Shi Feixuan or Ning Daoqi, but Ba Fenghan said it was Dugu Feng, because he smelled the special fragrance belonging to Dugu Feng.

The three of them escaped from pursuit by crossing the river. After all, in their minds, Dugu Feng was the proud daughter of the Dugu family. It was impossible for her to jump into the river in broad daylight and get wet like three grown men like them.

When they arrived at the agreed location to look for Xu Xingzhi, they came face to face with someone they absolutely did not want to meet: the Yin Gui Sect's witch Kan Kan.

Kanan, dressed in plain white, was holding a comb, standing behind the chair with a caring and gentle look, combing the hair of Xu Xingzhi, who had his eyes closed. The scene was extremely strange.

Seeing the three people coming, Fangcai Tankou exclaimed softly: "It took you so long, I'm so tired of waiting!"

The demon girl K'an K'an seemed to be possessed by a drama spirit and began to show off her acting skills. She knew everything, but she wanted to make things difficult for them. First, she asked them to choose between Xu Xingzhi and He Shi Bi, and then she used her magical skill of listening to sounds and identifying emotions to fool the three of them, saying that she believed that He Shi Bi was not in their hands.

Then he changed the subject and shifted to Yang Gong's treasure. This made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling feel even more uncomfortable, probably because they already knew that Yang Xuangan was not dead, and that more people knew about Yang Gong's treasure than they imagined, and the real treasure inside was probably taken away.

But, unfortunately, they had promised their master not to tell anyone else about this matter. Jingnian Zen Temple could tell, Ning Daoqi could tell, and Shi Feixuan could tell, but they themselves were the only ones who could not tell anyone without their master's consent, which made them feel extremely frustrated.

Seeing their weird expressions and listening to Kou Zhong's nonsense, the little witch Kankan had a lot of fun. She teased them for a while before floating away. She had a very good reason for not taking action.

The dispute between Cihang Jingzhai and Yingui Sect has been going on for a long time. Now that Shi Feixuan and Kankan live in the same city, a war is inevitable. If we fight with the three of them at this time, there is no guarantee that we can escape unscathed, and it would be a waste if we get injured before the battle.

After Kankan left, Xu Xingzhi had a lively conversation with Kou Zhong and the other two, and proposed a way to deal with the situation. However, this method had a big loophole, which was Xu Ziling himself. As the person who brought the He Shi Bi out, he had already revealed his identity, and after being transformed by the He Shi Bi, some traces remained in his body to a greater or lesser extent.

Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan had little contact with the He Clan Jade, having benefited indirectly through Xu Ziling. By this time, most of the energy had dissipated. Xu Ziling, practicing the Art of Immortality, excelled at concealing both his aura and the fluctuations within it. If others were to detect him, it would be difficult, but facing Shi Feixuan, who had personally encountered the He Clan Jade, he wouldn't be able to suppress the remaining fluctuations if he did.

Unless his martial arts skills are much higher than Shi Feixuan's, he can hide the residual power fluctuations of the He Shi Bi while fighting with her, or completely absorb or eliminate the residual power of the He Shi Bi.

While the four were discussing, the sound of "Knock! Knock! Knock!" of a wooden stick hitting the ground came closer and closer. When their faces changed, the sound of the courtyard door breaking with a "bang" pierced their ears.

The bolt broke, and the door to the hall opened automatically without wind. Outside the door, the delicate and beautiful Dugu Feng was seen walking into the yard, supporting a hunchbacked old woman with white hair, a pair of eyes half-covered by her eyelids, as if she was blind, and a face covered with deep wrinkles, but with an aristocratic style.

The old man was extremely tall. Even when hunched over, he was still half a head taller than the delicate Dugu Feng. If he straightened his back, his height would be almost the same as Kou Zhong and others.

The proud Dugu Feng said with disdain, "Do you think you can abandon me like this? Your cultivation level is far from enough."

Just because Kou Zhong said her name "You Chuhong", she was immediately beaten up by the old lady. Even Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan could not defeat her together, and were even forced to be at a disadvantage. The pride in her heart was immediately restrained. If the fight had not lasted for a short time and You Chuhong had ended the fight with a cough, the result would have been even worse.

Seeing You Chuhong coughing, Dugu Feng came to her side, reached out and rubbed her vest, her eyes widening as she said, "It's all your fault. If you make grandma sick due to exhaustion, I will kill you."

You Chuhong: Feng girl, others may not know, but you still don’t know that my illness has been cured by your master. This is just an act.

Dugu Feng blinked her eyes: Grandma, not only you are old and can act, but I, your granddaughter, can too.
