The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Seeing that he had piqued their interest, Ling Feng decided to stop hiding his abilities and reveal the mystery to them directly.

"Actually, it's a long story. What happened back then was actually a conspiracy."

"Brother, do you still remember Murong Nan, who was your equal?"

Upon hearing Ling Feng's question, Qiao Feng quickly replied:

"Of course I know. Our Beggars' Sect originally went south this time to demand an explanation from him, but we didn't expect so many unexpected changes, which is why it ended up being left unresolved."

After he finished speaking, Qiao Feng suddenly realized something and quickly asked:

"Could this matter be related to the Murong family?"

"Hmm, does elder brother know the origins of the Murong family?"

Qiao Feng really didn't know about this, after all, it happened hundreds of years ago.

But he was now eager to know the reason behind it, so he urged:

"Second brother, stop playing coy and just tell us the truth!"

Ling Feng looked at the anxious faces of Qiao Feng and his son, and slowly said:

"Brother, you should all have heard of the Yan Kingdom during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, right?"

Qiao Feng and his son exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

Ling Feng continued:

"The Murong clan were descendants of the royal family of the Yan state. When Murong Chui established the Later Yan, it was destroyed by Feng Ba when it came to Murong Xi. Murong Bao's son, Murong Yun, killed Feng Ba and took his place, establishing the Northern Yan. Later, the Northern Yan was destroyed by the Northern Wei, and the Murong clan gradually declined, but they never forgot their dream of restoring their country."

Qiao Feng frowned and asked:

"Could it be that Murong Fu is a descendant of the Murong clan?"

Ling Feng nodded and said, "That's right. Murong Fu is indeed the descendant of the Murong clan. He has always been committed to restoring the Yan Kingdom, and he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness for this, even going astray."

Qiao Feng suddenly realized:

"I see."

Ling Feng continued:

"The Murong clan's desire to restore their kingdom remains undiminished. They have been secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the right opportunity. The Battle of Yanmen Pass back then was a conspiracy they orchestrated."

Qiao Feng's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief:

"What? They were the ones who orchestrated this?"

Ling Feng nodded heavily and said:

"Yes, back then, Murong Bo deliberately spread the news, making the martial arts world of the Central Plains believe that a large number of Khitan warriors were going to attack Shaolin Temple to seize martial arts manuals."

"They wanted to use this to provoke a war between the Song and Liao dynasties so that they could take advantage of the chaos and revive the Yan state."

"Unfortunately, the leaders and martial arts masters of the Central Plains were unaware of the situation and believed the rumors, which led to a major mistake and almost caused a war between the two countries."

Qiao Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying:

"The despicable Murong clan will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!"

Ling Feng sighed and said:

"The Murong clan is single-mindedly focused on restoring their kingdom. They only think about their own interests and completely disregard the lives of others."

In reality, it's hard to say who's right and who's wrong, since from anyone's perspective, they all feel they're not wrong.

Perhaps the only ones who were injured were Qiao Feng's family, because they were truly unjustly harmed.

Ling Feng revealed the Murong family's name because he didn't want Xiao Yuanshan to continue doing foolish things and cause Qiao Feng to be despised by everyone.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Feng said with a look of resentment:

"Rumor has it that Murong Bo of the Murong family is dead. He really got off easy."

Ling Feng shook his head and said:

"Not necessarily."

Then he turned to Xiao Yuanshan and asked:

"When Uncle was secretly learning martial arts in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion, did you often encounter another man in black?"

Xiao Yuanshan nodded after hearing this. Although he didn't know how Ling Feng knew, now was not the time to pursue this matter.

After seeing Xiao Yuanshan nod in confirmation, Ling Feng continued:

"That's Murong Bo. The reason the news of his death spread was because he faked his death to escape and prepare to plot in secret."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

He never imagined that he had been living with his enemy for so long without knowing anything about him.

Ling Feng then told them everything he knew.

After listening to Ling Feng's story, both of them looked resentful.

Xiao Yuanshan was even more excited and prepared to go find them and take revenge immediately.

Seeing that they were very excited, Ling Feng quickly calmed them down.

After the two calmed down, Ling Feng analyzed the current situation for them.

"The culprit back then was Murong Bo from the Murong family, and the ringleader was Abbot Xuanchi of Shaolin."

After a brief pause, Ling Feng continued in a solemn tone:

“Murong Bo is alright. He has already faked his death, so killing him wouldn’t be difficult for you.”

"However, I think you don't need to rush to kill him. Instead, find him and then find a way to torture him. That way, he will suffer more."

"Hmm, that's a good idea."

Qiao Feng nodded in agreement. Although he was a generous and righteous man, he would not be merciful to his enemies.

“On the contrary, Abbot Xuanchi of Shaolin is a troublesome one, but he also has a weakness, and Uncle already knows what his weakness is.”

Ling Feng looked at Qiao Yuanshan and asked with a smile:

"Uncle, am I right?"

Qiao Yuanshan laughed heartily:

"Haha, that's right, I do know his weakness. His weakness is that he has a son."

"Oh? He has a son?"

Qiao Feng, who had also spent quite some time at Shaolin, asked with some surprise.

He never imagined that the seemingly kind and benevolent abbot of Shaolin would have a child living outside.

Seeing that they had confirmed the news, Ling Feng continued:

"And the greatest revenge against him would probably be to ruin his reputation and then kill him."

"As for the others, they are all third-rate guys. Although they have some reputation in the martial arts world, they are not worth fearing compared to Xuan Chi."

Ling Feng said disdainfully:

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to deal with these people secretly."

"And by doing this, no one will suspect the eldest brother."

"Well, we understand."

Qiao Feng nodded, then turned to Xiao Yuanshan and asked, "What do you think?"

"Yes, what Young Master Ling said makes a lot of sense."

Qiao Yuanshan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Let's do as he says."

Ling Feng then gave them advice on how to ruin Xuan Chi's reputation.

Actually, this matter isn't that difficult. After all, didn't Xuan Ci in the original story die after being disgraced and ruined?

Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan had no objection to the suggestions Ling Feng made to them.

After all, Ling Feng's suggestion seemed quite good, and it could also achieve the goal of revenge.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuanshan left first.

He needed to prepare for his revenge in advance.

Qiao Feng, on the other hand, planned to go to Shaolin Temple because he had some things to settle.

After all, not everyone in Shaolin Temple is a bad person.
