The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a misfortune, you are destined to be the female lead."

Su Qi shook his head with regret, silently mourned for Miss Bai Ling for three seconds, and then turned and left.

Asking for directions along the way, he eventually arrived at the so-called Skyhawk Gang.

Ji Shan, the leader of the Tianqing Gang, is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the head of the underworld in Tianfu Ancient City.

Because of the existence of the City Lord's Mansion, cultivators from the Southeast Regions generally do not like to stay in the ancient city for too long, let alone live there permanently.

This Ji Shan actually dared to develop a gang here and get away scot-free. Nobody believes he has no backing.

Moreover, the people behind him are very likely from the City Lord's Mansion.

Simply put, the Tianqing Gang is probably a group that does shady work for the City Lord's Mansion.

"Stop whoever comes!"

Upon seeing Su Qi, the guards at the entrance of the hall stopped him.

"Please inform Chief Ji that I know who the real culprit is in the murder of Ji Feng!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper was slightly startled and, not daring to be negligent any longer, hurried back to report.

A short while later, the guard came out and led Su Qi inside, where he saw the burly Ji Shan in the reception room.

Judging from his bloodshot eyes, the death of his son Jifeng had clearly been a great blow to him.

Seeing Su Qi's face covered by a veil, he frowned.

"Who are you, young lady? Why don't you show your true face?"

"Chief Ji is really something else. He doesn't care about his son's death, but he's concerned about my appearance." Su Qi was too lazy to discuss his gender with anyone anymore.

"Hmph, you veiled bastard, you don't even dare to show your true face, who knows if you're a liar!" Ji Shan curled his fingers into claws and attacked Su Qi, trying to lift his veil.

"It's good to be confident, but you have to consider who you're dealing with!" Su Qi struck with lightning speed, his finger landing on Su Qi's palm before Su Qi could react.

The moment the two made contact, Ji Shan was sent flying by the light touch of the finger, crashing into the chair behind him. He lay on the ground with a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, clutching his chest and looking at Su Qi in horror.

"A Golden Core cultivator?!"

"Gang leader!"

His men drew their swords and surrounded Su Qi, but none of them dared to step forward.

After all, the guild leader was instantly killed, so is there any point in me going up?

"Do you still think I need to lie to you?" Su Qi ignored the henchmen surrounding him. These people were at most Qi Refining cultivators, and they couldn't even break through his defenses.

"Stop! All of you, get out of the way!"

Ji Shan struggled to his feet and bowed deeply in greeting.

"I was being presumptuous. Please tell me the truth, fairy!"

"Your son Ji Feng was killed by Ye Feng, the son-in-law of the Bai family. He secretly set up a scheme to instigate a conflict between Ji Feng and the eldest son of the Qian family, with the aim of causing a conflict between the Qian family and the Tianqing Gang so that the Bai family could reap the benefits. If you don't believe me, you can investigate and you will definitely find some clues."

After saying that, Su Qi glanced around, turned around and disappeared in a flash, leaving Ji Shan standing there with uncertain expression.

After thinking for a while, Ji Shan finally called his subordinates in.

……

After leaving the Tianqing Gang, Su Qi went to the Qian family, this time sneaking in directly.

The Qian family members were gathered in the hall, discussing something. They all looked worried and occasionally glared at a young man in the room.

"Father, and all my uncles, I really didn't kill Ji Feng. That day, I came out of Tianxiang Pavilion and someone hit me on the head with a club. When I woke up, it was already the next day."

"Whether we believe you or not is no longer important. The key is that Ji Shan doesn't believe you. That morning, the Tianqing Gang saw you run out from where Ji Feng died."

“Our Qian family only has a few Qi Refining stage elders. If Ji Shan comes to kill us, we will all die.”

"You unfilial son, you've ruined the Qian family this time!"

Just when they were at their wits' end, a dart flew in with a note stuck in it.

"Who?"

"The Skyhawk Gang has attacked?"

The Qian family members were in a panic, and it took them a while to realize that there was a note on the dart.

Mr. Qian shakily took it down and unfolded it, where he saw a line of large characters.

[Ye Feng, the son-in-law of the Bai family, who framed someone for murder!]

"That good-for-nothing framed me!" Young Master Qian was furious after reading it: "I'm going to break his legs right now."

……

Su Qi quietly retreated, feeling quite pleased that he could cause trouble for Ye Feng with just a slight move.

I found a guesthouse to stay in and waited for the show to begin.

Lying in bed, Su Qi suddenly had a whimsical idea and took out the scroll to ask about it.

"What would happen if I killed Ye Feng right now?"

The chosen one seems to be just a newbie right now. With my current Golden Core realm cultivation, it seems I could kill him with ease. It would be a shame not to seize this opportunity.

【My name is Su Qi. Today I've come to Tianfu Ancient City. Thinking of the humiliations of my past life, I've gone to the Bai family in a fit of rage, intending to kill Ye Feng, the chosen one of destiny.】

[Unexpectedly, I succeeded!]

I thought I had escaped fate's arrangement and would return to the Cloud Mist Immortal Sect to languish.

[But what I didn't expect was that three years later, another chosen one appeared, and he took a liking to Mufier. And my existence undoubtedly hindered his progress...]

Uh... the following plot is similar to the original story in the previous life. This new Chosen One killed him in order to get Mufier.

"Damn it, are you some kind of chosen one, like leeks? They keep dying off one crop after another!"

Helpless, Su Qi had no choice but to abandon the idea.

At least for now, Ye Feng is someone I know quite well, and since he's in the shadows while Ye Feng is in the open, the advantage is mine.

If Ye Feng is killed, and the Chosen One becomes someone else, then the situation will be reversed.

He didn't know where the new chosen one was, and could only passively wait for him to come knocking on his door.

……

The next day, Su Qi was hoping to hear news that Ye Feng had been beaten or that the Bai family had been attacked.

But nothing happened; all was calm.

The Skyhawk Gang did not make a move.

The young master Qian, who had previously threatened to break Ye Feng's legs, has also fallen silent.

After a little thought, Su Qi understood.

Although the 36 ancient cities are not under local jurisdiction, the people here ultimately live in the Great Ling Dynasty.

The Great Spirit God of War, Bai Luo, is still in Tianfu Ancient Capital. With him protecting him, no one dares to lay a hand on Ye Feng except for the people from the City Lord's Mansion.

We can only wait for Bai Luo to leave.

Since that's the case, let's get to know the two female leads first.

First, make sure Bai Ling doesn't fall in love with Ye Feng.

Thinking about it, Su Qi went out.

Ye Feng killed Ji Feng very secretly, and no one suspected this useless son-in-law.

Based on this premise, Ye Feng is safe.

But now Su Qi has clearly told Ji Shan that the murderer is Ye Feng. Once the suspect is identified and evidence is investigated in a murder case, it is easy to find clues.

A day is enough time for Ji Shan, this local tyrant, to investigate.

Considering this favor, I hope Ji Shan won't refuse to help me look up some information.
