With a reputation of 70,000, one leader travels across countless worlds with his adventure team.

Not to mention that Bai Ze and Duan Zhengchun's family were having a great time at the Leigushan Xiaoyao Sect, Xiao Yuanshan, who was stopped by Bai Ze from killing the Qiao couple at the foot of Shaoshishan, did not stop his revenge.

Xiao Yuanshan first went to Chongxiao Cave in Taihang Mountain and killed Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun. Then he went to Shanjiazhuang in Tai'an, Shandong and killed dozens of men and women in the village, including Shan Zheng, and set it on fire.

Those who knew them discovered the murdered Tan Gong, Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun, and found that the martial arts used to kill them were similar to Qiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Dragon Claw Hand. They also received news that the Shan Family Village in Tai'an had been wiped out and that Master Zhiguang of Zhiguan Temple on Tiantai Mountain had been killed.

Before he could leave the mountain again to search for clues, Qiao Feng once again took the blame for his father. Rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that Qiao Feng had gone mad while investigating the matter of his parents and the "leader" of Yanmen Pass, because all the people Qiao Feng killed were those who revealed his background in Xingzilin.

A few days later, Qiao Feng and Bai Ze, who were studying the Yi Jin Jing given to them by A Zhu at Leigu Mountain, received news that most of the people involved in the Xingzilin incident had died.

The only person who knows the details of the letters that Elder Xu of Xingzilin had back then is Madam Kangmin, the widow of Ma Dayuan, the vice leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Qiao Feng quickly said to Bai Ze:

"Second brother, the only person left who seems to know about the 'Big Brother' in Xingzilin is Madam Kang Min. I'm thinking of going to her to ask her some questions, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Bai Ze also said:

“My brother’s affairs are my affairs. Let’s go together. It’s a good opportunity to travel around the mountains. Staying in the mountains is a bit boring.”

Qiao Feng was naturally delighted to hear that Bai Ze was also going with him, and said:

"Very well, then let's brothers leave the mountain together. I want to see who's framing me, Qiao Feng. I had originally planned to retire to the mountains or graze my herds on the grasslands with A'Zhu, but as people of the martial world, we can't escape this vortex..."

Qiao Feng was deeply distressed, unaware that his own father had been secretly plotting against him. Bai Ze couldn't directly tell his elder brother that it was his father who was behind it all, as that would only make Xiao Yuanshan more secretive. He wouldn't stop until he had completely forced Qiao Feng to rebel against the Song Dynasty and become its enemy.

This time, Qiao Feng did not bring A'Zhu with him, and Bai Ze only brought Daenerys and Xiao Meng, who wanted to go out for a stroll. The four of them left Leigu Mountain and headed towards Madam Ma Kang Min's residence.

A few days later, Bai Ze and Qiao Feng arrived at Madam Ma Kang Min's residence. It was nighttime, and Bai Ze and Qiao Feng planned to investigate Kang Min's residence at night and grab her to get to the bottom of things.

However, to Bai Ze and his companion's surprise, when they found Kang Min's bedroom, they heard two people talking inside. Qiao Feng listened closely and discovered that it was Bai Shijing and Kang Min conversing. He quietly told Bai Ze:

"It's Bai Shijing and Kang Min!"

Bai Ze nodded without saying anything, and the two of them listened to the conversation between Kang Min and Bai Shijing in the room.

Then Bai Shijing said:

"What exactly happened with Tan Gong and Zhao Qiansun? I know Qiao Feng's character; he's not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Do you have any definite information? Tell me quickly."

Kang Min said in the room:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Qiao Feng's matter has nothing to do with you. Although you killed Ma Dayuan, exposing Qiao Feng's identity has nothing to do with you. That was done by Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu. If anyone should die, it should be them. They are all still alive and well. Why are you getting so anxious!"

Bai Ze, standing outside the room, raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Brother Qiao would find out about Ma Dayuan here. Qiao Feng, upon hearing Kang Min's words, learned that Ma Dayuan had died at the hands of his wife and Bai Shijing.

Qiao Feng had mistakenly considered Bai Shijing his sworn brother, and when Bai Shijing spoke up for him in Xingzilin, he appeared righteous and impartial. Little did he know that Bai Shijing was a hypocrite who spouted righteousness and morality but was actually a despicable and vile man!

Qiao Feng glared angrily, wanting to rush in and expose the two men's shameful affair, but Bai Ze quickly grabbed him, put a finger to his lips to shush, and then pointed to his ear, indicating that Brother Qiao should continue listening.

Then Bai Shijing continued speaking from inside the room:

"Only a few of you saw that letter in Xingzilin that day. Who exactly is that 'leader'? How can so many people help him hide his identity? Right now, the news of Qiao Feng's madness and killings is making headlines in the martial arts world. Who knows, he might come looking for you one day. Aren't you afraid?"

Kang Min laughed and said, "Hmph~ Who else but that guy from Shaolin Temple could be such a powerful figure in the martial arts world who could address Chief Wang as 'Brother Sword Beard' in a letter? And who else could have such a great reputation in the martial arts world to invite so many martial arts masters to act at Yanmen Pass?"

Although the letter was signed by Zhiguang of Zhiguan Temple on Mount Tiantai, the matter cannot be faked. If Qiao Feng, who has fallen into demonic possession, really comes looking for me one day, I can simply tell him about it. But what about you?

Kang Min looked at Bai Shijing with a strange expression. If Qiao Feng knew that his sworn brother was the real culprit who killed Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng might really kill him!

Bai Shijing, seeing Kang Min's strange expression, slapped her across the face, then pinched Kang Min's cheek and said:

"You harlot, you were the mastermind behind this too! If Qiao Feng really comes, I'll tell him the truth, and we'll be together on our journey to the underworld!"

Overcome with lust, Kang Min grabbed Bai Shijing's genitals and lewdly said, "You can make me go to the Yellow Springs with you right now, so come on~"

Bai Shijing's anger dissipated when Kang Min pinched him. Just as he was about to teach this slut a lesson, he heard the door being kicked open with a loud "bang!" and Qiao Feng and Bai Ze walked into the house.

Qiao Feng was so angry that his hair stood on end with his inner energy, making him look like an enraged lion. He roared:

"You vile scoundrels, you harlots! I'll send you to hell right now!"

Bai Shijing's erect penis immediately went still, and when Kang Min saw that Qiao Feng had actually appeared in her room, her aroused blood cooled down considerably.

Seeing the enraged Qiao Feng, Bai Shijing quickly waved his hand and explained:

"Brother Qiao, my good brother, Kang Min made me do all those things. I was bewitched by her and slept with her. I had no choice. Please, brother, spare my life, spare me..."

Before she could finish begging for mercy, Qiao Feng grabbed her by the throat. Kang Min was so frightened that she huddled in a corner of the bed, trembling.

Qiao Feng, gripping Bai Shijing's throat, said angrily:

"I never expected you to be this kind of person, a hypocrite who slept with other men's wives and daughters, despicable and vile. I, Qiao Feng, am ashamed to associate with you!"

Just as he was about to strike Bai Shijing to death with a single palm strike, Bai Ze quickly grabbed Qiao Feng's arm and said:

"Brother, don't be impulsive. Keeping him alive is still useful. We can use him to explain the matter of Ma Dayuan to the Beggars' Sect. You've heard what Kang Min said earlier. The 'leading brother' should be the current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci. Let's keep these two troublemakers alive so the Beggars' Sect rules can deal with them."

"Then we'll go to Shaolin and confront Xuanci face to face. Monks don't lie; I want to see if this abbot of this prestigious Shaolin sect dares to speak the truth."

Qiao Feng calmed down somewhat after hearing Bai Ze's words, but he had no intention of letting Bai Shijing and Kang Min go. He immediately broke one of Bai Shijing's legs, activated his Dragon-Capturing Skill, and pulled Kang Min from the corner of the bed, grabbing her neck and saying:

"You slut, tell me everything that happened before, or I'll strangle you right now!"

Kang Min was already terrified and quickly recounted how she had killed Ma Dayuan, found Ma Dayuan's suicide note and the letter from Chief Wang. After listening to Kang Min's story, Qiao Feng snorted and chopped Kang Min on the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Then Qiao Feng came to Bai Shijing's side and said:

"During the day, talk to the other elders of the Beggars' Sect about Ma Dayuan. I'll allow you to pin the blame on Kang Min. How the sect deals with you then is not my concern. But if you dare to conceal the truth again, if the sect doesn't punish you, I will!"

Bai Shijing nodded quickly and said:

"I will go to the other elders to explain the facts as soon as it is light. Thank you, Brother Qiao, for sparing my life!"

Bai Ze then said to Bai Shijing:

"We'll leave once you've explained the truth. But if you dare to spout nonsense in front of the Beggars' Sect members, then you can just wait to be reincarnated!"

Bai Shijing repeatedly said, "I dare not! I dare not!"

Seeing that Bai Shijing had behaved himself, Qiao Feng and Bai Ze turned and left Kang Min's room, and Bai Shijing, dragging his limp, also left Kang Min's room.

The next day, Bai Shijing, the Beggars' Sect's Law Enforcement Elder, convened a meeting at the Beggars' Sect headquarters with the sect's Transmission Elders, Bowl-Holding Elders, Staff-Holding Elders, and the Five Protectors and Eight-Bag Disciples. He explained the previous murder of Ma Dayuan and clarified that it was Kang Min's instruction.

The Beggars' Sect members were extremely surprised, never expecting that Ma Dayuan's affair was actually a setup by their own wife. Several elders immediately ordered Kang Min to be brought in for questioning. Knowing that there was no way out, Kang Min simply spilled the beans and told them everything.

The story of how Quan Guanqing and Elder Xu conspired to frame Qiao Feng and force him to leave the Beggars' Sect was also explained in detail, which finally threw the Beggars' Sect into chaos.

After listening to Bai Shijing and Kang Min's words in disguise, Bai Ze and Qiao Feng finally felt relieved and left the Beggars' Sect's headquarters, preparing to go to Shaolin to find Xuan Ci and ask for clarification.

What Bai Ze and Qiao Feng didn't expect was that it was during this conference that Quan Guanqing, through his sweet talk, managed to squeeze out Elder Xu, who had the highest prestige and popularity.

Quan Guanqing, a scholar known for his excellence, disguised himself as a defender of the Beggars' Sect's interests. He stole the show at the subsequent Beggars' Sect leader succession ceremony and was ultimately elected as the next Beggars' Sect leader.

 …

While Bai Ze and Qiao Feng were dealing with Bai Shijing and Kang Min, Shaolin Temple had already received news that "Qiao Feng" had become possessed and was indiscriminately killing people in the martial arts world. Only Xuan Ci knew that someone was guiding Qiao Feng to investigate the matter of the "leading brother" from back then.

Either Qiao Feng already knows the truth and is eliminating those who killed his parents, or Xuan Ci immediately notifies the courtyard to prepare for a martial arts conference to discuss the matter of punishing 'Qiao Feng, the Khitan who slaughtered the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty'.

Shaolin Temple immediately sent invitations to various martial arts factions, exaggerating the harm Qiao Feng had caused to the Song Dynasty's martial arts world, and summoned masters from all sides to attend the meeting, preparing to capture Qiao Feng in one fell swoop and make the incident at Yanmen Pass disappear completely.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Yuanshan knew that Xuanci had finally decided to take action, so he headed towards Shaolin Temple. He wanted to expose the hypocritical faces of the Shaolin monks at the martial arts tournament and seek justice for his wife and children.

Xiao Yuanshan, who arrived at Shaolin Temple first, was not in a hurry. He was waiting for Qiao Feng to arrive. He knew that if his son knew what had happened back then, he would definitely come to Shaolin Temple.

Xiao Yuanshan kept Kang Min alive so that Qiao Feng would find out about this. Kang Min, who wasn't one of the people involved in the Yanmen Pass incident, was the most likely to reveal the truth. The others, for their own protection, certainly wouldn't tell Qiao Feng the truth.

Xiao Yuanshan waited for his son to arrive near the residence of the Qiao family at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. He knew that if Qiao Feng came to Shaolin, he would definitely visit his adoptive parents.

At this moment, Bai Ze and Qiao Feng, disguised and traveling back to Leigu Mountain with Daenerys and her companion, overheard people in the martial arts world discussing the hero's decree issued by Shaolin Temple while having dinner at a tavern on their way back. They immediately burst out laughing.

Qiao Feng shook his head and said:

"I never expected Shaolin to strike first. The 'leader' incident was most likely done by Shaolin Xuanci. He was anxious to protect the reputation of Shaolin Temple and wanted to strike first to completely cover up what happened at Yanmen Pass."

Bai Ze also chimed in:

"Then those who used your name to kill people in the martial arts world before will definitely appear. At that time, the truth about Yanmen Pass will be revealed. In front of so many people at the Heroes' Gathering, I don't believe Xuan Ci would dare to deceive everyone in the world."

After the four finished their meal, they packed up and continued on their way. They didn't need to change direction and continued towards Mount Song, where Leigu Mountain of the Xiaoyao Sect was not far away.

A few days later, Qiao Feng and Bai Ze arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. Qiao Feng first visited his adoptive parents. The Qiao couple had also received a lot of messages from Qiao Feng during this period. The old couple were very worried about their son. Qiao Feng explained to his adoptive parents for a long time that he had not done those things in the martial arts world.

He also introduced Bai Ze to the elderly couple, explaining that he had been living in seclusion at his sworn brother's house for some time, and that the events in the martial arts world were orchestrated by someone who wanted to pit Qiao Feng against the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.

Qiao's mother recognized Bai Ze and said:

"Young hero, you look familiar. Did you stay at my house with a few young ladies and get some water before?"

Bai Ze said with a smile:

“Aunt Qiao has a good eye. It was me last time. I was out traveling with my female relatives and we stopped here for a short rest.”

Qiao Feng, Bai Ze, and their companions rested at the Qiao family residence for a while before heading out to investigate which powerful figures from the martial arts world were coming to Shaolin Temple. Bai Ze also had Xiao Meng release Ya Lei Jia to scout out the number of people coming to Shaolin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Meng soon told Bai Ze that the person he had met at the Qiao family's house last time was also nearby. Bai Ze knew that Xiao Yuanshan had also come, so he called out to Qiao Feng:

"Brother Qiao, there's someone outside you might need to meet. Let's go outside and talk."

Qiao Feng followed Bai Ze into the forest. Soon they saw a man dressed in black robes standing in the woods. Xiao Yuanshan, seeing Bai Ze and Qiao Feng together, said:

"Kid, I've always been curious how you managed to spot me so quickly both times!"

Bai Ze smiled but didn't reply. From Ya Leijia's perspective, you stood in the forest with level 48 above your head, just like a firefly in the dark night; it was hard not to see you.

Qiao Feng looked at the man in black and felt a strong sense of familiarity wash over him. He then clasped his hands in greeting and asked:

"May I ask who you are, senior, and why you are waiting for us here?"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at his son and said with a smile:

"Hehe~ Some things are better left unsaid. Tonight is not the time to talk. Let us wait a few days and let that old bald monk Xuanci gather everyone before we meet again."

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Ze and Qiao Feng to ask any further questions, he used his lightness skill to fly away.

Bai Ze didn't explain to Qiao Feng in detail that the person in question was his biological father who was making him take the blame, because the key point was that the father and son would recognize each other at the grand meeting, which would allow Xuan Ci to reveal what happened back then.

The two then returned to the Qiao family's courtyard. Bai Ze slept in a room with the two women. This time, they didn't continue playing at night. Bai Ze slept soundly with one of them on each side.

Qiao Feng, meanwhile, pondered the man in black he had seen in the forest that evening. The familiarity he felt gave him a slight sense of something, but he wasn't sure. He could only cover his head and rest, waiting for the day they would meet again.
