The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Qiao Feng's words stunned everyone present. The abbot of Shaolin Temple had already let bygones be bygones and was planning to release you, yet you still stubbornly refused to leave.

"Although I, Qiao Feng, am a Khitan, I know that if I do not avenge the murder of my father and mother, how am I any different from a pig or a dog?"

Qiao Feng stared intently at Xuan Ci with a serious expression.

After learning that his biological parents had been murdered, Qiao Feng vowed to find the mastermind behind it all and kill him to appease his parents' spirits in heaven.

Now that it has been discovered that the events of that year were organized by a ringleader, Qiao Feng has made up his mind to find him.

"Since it's such a deep-seated hatred, then there definitely needs to be an explanation."

Everyone in the martial arts world present felt indignant on Qiao Feng's behalf and turned to look at the people from Shaolin.

The Song Dynasty was dominated by Confucian culture. Although we were all people in the martial arts world, we were all educated by the culture of the Song Dynasty. Filial piety was not just a word.

Therefore, everyone present believed that Qiao Feng was both filial and righteous, and was a great hero of the time.

Faced with the questioning from everyone present, the Shaolin people were all at a loss and looked at Xuanci.

"As the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Xuanci must know about what happened back then. Why not tell him today and resolve Qiao Feng's inner conflict?"

Seeing that Xuan Ci remained silent, Lu Yao spoke up.

Speaking up for Qiao Feng was not only out of admiration for his heroic and loyal personality, but also to provoke the Shaolin Temple.

"Alas, it's shameful to talk about what happened back then."

Xuan Ci looked sorrowful, and his gaze towards Qiao Feng carried a hint of guilt.

When Xuan Ci finally spoke, Qiao Feng looked slightly excited and expectant.

"then……"

Xuan Ci avoided Qiao Feng's gaze and slowly recounted the incident of the attack on Xiao Yuanshan and his wife outside Yanmen Pass years ago.

It turns out that back then, Shaolin received news that a Khitan master was coming to the Central Plains to steal Shaolin Temple's martial arts manuals, which led to Shaolin calling on a group of masters to go to Yanmen Pass to ambush and kill them.

However, Lu Yao understood that Murong Bo was behind all this, with the aim of instigating conflict between the Song and Liao dynasties.

As for why Xiao Yuanshan's death could trigger a conflict between the two countries, it's naturally because Xiao Yuanshan's identity was not simple.

Xiao Yuanshan was a master from the Xiao family of the Liao Dynasty, and held a very important position in the Liao Dynasty.

A moment later, everyone present was stunned, never expecting that the highly respected Abbot Xuanci had done such a thing.

At this moment, Qiao Feng's expression had changed drastically, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Xuan Ci.

"All the blame lies with me. The others who acted back then did so because of my call. If you, Benefactor Qiao, wish to take revenge, then kill me."

After Xuan Ci told everyone what had happened, he finally felt relieved, and a sense of liberation appeared in his eyes.

"Bald monk! I'll kill you!"

Qiao Feng's face turned red, and in his rage, he broke through the blocked meridians and acupoints, unleashing a furious attack on Xuan with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Xuan Ci, however, neither dodged nor evaded, but slowly closed his eyes, waiting for Qiao Feng's killing move.

"stop!"

The Shaolin masters beside Xuan Ci all changed their expressions and hurriedly stepped forward to defend themselves.

"Back then, our Shaolin Temple was also deceived by villains and tricked by the mastermind behind the scenes, which led to this tragedy."

A Shaolin monk who knew about the incident back then blocked Qiao Feng while explaining to him.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Qiao Feng's expression shifted, showing some surprise and uncertainty.

“It is absolutely true. If I am lying, I am willing to go to the eighteenth level of hell.”

When the high monk saw Qiao Feng stop, he quickly responded.

It's not that Shaolin is afraid of Qiao Feng, but with so many figures in the martial arts world around, and given the matter's concern for Shaolin's reputation, they have to handle it with caution.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Qiao Feng, displaying remarkable lightness skills.

"Qiao Feng, don't be fooled by these bald monks. Back then, when your mother fell off the cliff, it was Xuan Ci who personally intervened."

Suddenly, a man in black appeared and spoke to Qiao Feng in a deep voice, clearly not wanting Shaolin to escape easily.

"How did you find out, senior?"

Qiao Feng frowned slightly, looking at the man in black with suspicion.

“I was also at Yanmen Pass back then, but my martial arts skills were too weak, and I was no match for these bald monks. I could only hide to the side and record all their evil deeds.”

The man in black spoke with heartfelt sincerity, his gaze towards Qiao Feng filled with genuine affection.

Murong Bo had been observing from a distance, and the current scene was his doing.

It was he who spread the news that Qiao Feng had been imprisoned by Shaolin, inciting people in the martial arts world to surround and block him, creating chaos.

Unexpectedly, these Shaolin people were trying to shift the blame, and more importantly, Qiao Feng almost believed it. How could Murong Bo continue to hide?

"This……"

The Shaolin monks were speechless, unsure how to defend themselves.

"Who the hell are you?"

Xuan Ci suddenly opened his eyes, unleashing the power of a mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator, and roared angrily.

Xuan Ci suddenly remembered that he was the one who had gathered the people who went to Yanmen Pass back then, and the operation was extremely secretive. How could this person have accurately staked out and observed the battle at Yanmen Pass?

"What? Is Abbot Xuanci angry out of embarrassment?"

Murong Bo sneered, his aura was no weaker than Xuan Ci's, and even stronger.

"You wouldn't happen to be the one who orchestrated things back then, would you?"

Xuan Ci's eyes were deep, as if he could see right through Murong Bo.

Murong Bo was startled when he heard Xuan Ci's words.

"You bald monk, don't spout nonsense!"

Murong Bo was wearing a black veil, so outsiders couldn't see his expression, but his tone did change slightly.

"Slanderous accusations? The matter of our journey to Yanmen Pass was extremely secretive back then. How did you know about it and wait there all along?"

Xuan Ci looked coldly at Murong Bo and asked him in return.

"I... I just happened to be passing by."

Murong Bo was taken aback, not expecting that Xuan had actually found the loophole in his words.

"Hmph! Take him down!"

Xuan Ci snorted coldly and directly ordered the Shaolin monks beside him to take action.

After the earlier probing, it became clear that the man in black was no less powerful than him, but Xuan Ci was not alone.

"What? Does Shaolin also resort to ganging up on the weak?"

"Qiao Feng, aren't you going to make a move yet?"

Murong Bo asked two questions in quick succession, his tone somewhat anxious.

However, Qiao Feng was not stupid, and he understood that the man in black who suddenly appeared might not be a good person.

Given the current unclear situation, Qiao Feng naturally wouldn't make a move easily.

A brief silence fell over the scene. Murong Bo's expression hardened with hatred. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he decided to flee immediately.

"Murong Bo, you're really stupid."

Having watched the show for a while, Lu Yao smiled and shook his head, then slowly walked forward.

Murong Fu, standing behind Lu Yao, was slightly taken aback by Lu Yao's words and looked at the man in black in the arena with surprise.

"Murong Bo? Isn't that Father?"

Murong Fu looked very puzzled, unsure of the identity of the man in black in the room.

"Murong Bo? You've mistaken me for someone else."

Murong Bo, who had already planned to escape, was startled and responded calmly.

But his heart was already in turmoil, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Lu Yao.
