Chapter 222: Tiangang Sect

On the evening of May 21st, Li Fei rode the dark gold 'Qilin' and arrived at Baoyun Temple under the protection of the Martial Security Guard.

The main gate here was already closed; if one wanted to offer incense, they would have to come tomorrow morning.

However, Li Fei was not here to offer incense.

He received news that Hao Yi had come to Datong Prefecture city and was currently inside Baoyun Temple.

Bang, bang, bang.

Li Fei knocked on the door of Baoyun Temple.

A moment later, a small door opened, and a bald head appeared from behind the door:

"Benefactor, may I ask what is the matter?"

"Hello, I heard Hao Yi is here with you. I've come to find him; I am his student."

Li Fei said politely.

The little monk who opened the door curiously sized up Li Fei and asked: "Is the benefactor named Li Fei?"

"Yes."

"Then please wait a moment."

The little monk closed the door, and the sound of his footsteps walking away came from behind the door.

A moment later, the small door was opened again, and the little monk who had just left came back panting and handed a thick book to Li Fei:

"Benefactor Li, this is what Benefactor Hao Yi asked me to give to you. He said he won't see you tonight, and won't see you in the future either, so you should go back."

"..."

Li Fei silently took the heavy book from the other's hand.

Unsurprisingly, these books should be the sect inheritance of Hao Yi's lineage.

"Could you please help me pass a message to my teacher, little master?"

Li Fei looked into the little monk's eyes and said.

"Please speak, benefactor."

The little monk nodded earnestly.

Ten minutes later, the little monk walked into a Buddha hall.

In the main hall, besides the magnificent Buddha statue, there were two other people.

One was Hao Yi, the other was Master Yunshen.

"How was it?"

Yunshen looked at the little monk who had run back to report and asked kindly.

"Abbot, that Benefactor Li accepted the book and also asked me to pass a message to this Benefactor Hao."

"What message?"

Hao Yi looked at the little monk.

The little monk tried hard to put on a serious expression, as if imitating Li Fei's demeanor when speaking, and then said:

"He said: The student has gone to do what he believes is right."

Hao Yi was lost in thought for a moment.

He remembered the incident where horse bandits attacked a village outside Xingcheng, and the then-Chief Gu Zhenhui personally came to beg him to take action.

In fact, Gu Zhenhui was clearly using moral kidnapping at that time, and Hao Yi was very clear about it.

At that time, Li Fei said to him: "Teacher, just go and do what you believe is right."

Now, Li Fei had said this sentence to Hao Yi again.

Only this time, it was his turn, the student, to go and do what he believed was right.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Hao Yi thanked the little monk.

"Zhiyuan, go back to your room and rest."

Master Yunshen said.

After the little monk left, Hao Yi looked at Yunshen with some pride and asked:

"What do you think of this student of mine?"

Yunshen said solemnly: "Stronger than you were back then."

"Hahahaha."

Hao Yi laughed rarely.

Afterward, he restrained his smile, looked at the night sky outside the gate, his eyes firm:

"Therefore, he must not end up like I did back then!"

Li Fei took the book Hao Yi gave him and returned to Martial University by car.

He returned to his dormitory, turned on the desk lamp, and flipped through the book at his desk.

Just as he had guessed, this book indeed recorded the sect inheritance of Hao Yi's lineage.

Today, through the materials given by the Archives, Li Fei already knew that the sect of Hao Yi's lineage was called the 'Tiangang Sect', a sect that had once been prosperous but later declined.

The founder of the Tiangang Sect was a Master Wuji Grandmaster, but later the sect suffered a great disaster, leading to the loss of much of its inheritance, which was why it became worse with each generation.

By the time it reached Hao Yi's generation, the Tiangang Sect was almost a single-line inheritance, and for over a hundred years, no sect member had cultivated to the foundation of martial arts or become a Master Wuji Master.

Even so, the book Hao Yi gave Li Fei recorded a total of four complete cultivation methods for the foundation of martial arts!

The construction of the foundation of martial arts is not just about absorbing five different implants in the correct order; it involves very complex cultivation methods. Each stage has different cultivation means for different implants, and it also involves a series of issues such as mutual interference and coordination between different implants.

Therefore, every cultivation method for a Dao Foundation is extremely precious, a top-secret among top-secrets, and also a symbol of a sect's foundation.

To be recognized as a Master Wuji Grand Sect, besides having at least one Master Wuji Master, one must also possess at least three different cultivation methods for the foundation of martial arts.

When the Tiangang Sect reached Hao Yi's hands, it still had four cultivation methods for Dao Foundations, and none of them were ordinary foundations of martial arts; among them was the top-tier Dao Foundation like the 【Primordial Heavenly Gold】!

Besides this, the book also recorded over a dozen Tiangang Sect martial arts. Although their grades didn't reach the level of the 'Vajra Seal' and the 'Red Sound Fire Vajra Method', they were definitely first-class martial arts in the Jianghu.

Then there were Hao Yi's handwritten insights on saber techniques and cultivation.

This was far more precious than powerful martial arts!

At the end of the book were Hao Yi's suggestions and guidance for Li Fei's future cultivation.

When he wrote this, he probably didn't know Li Fei had already broken through, so he started writing from the 'Unity' part.

After entering the Dao Foundation stage, how to nourish existing implants, how to introduce new ones, how to handle conflicts between different implants—every stage had issues to pay attention to, written in great detail, from the Qi Transformation stage all the way to the construction of the foundation of martial arts.

It was voluminous, adding up to over a hundred thousand words.

That was why this book was so thick and heavy.

This was clearly not something written on a whim; Hao Yi had been preparing it for a long time.

Perhaps he was also worried that one day he wouldn't be able to guide Li Fei, so he wrote these contents down in advance.

Li Fei slowly closed the book, calmed his mood in his seat, then rose to put the book into the safe in his dormitory.

Then he performed the 'One Leaf Blinds the Eyes' technique and the 'Vajra Seal: Precious Vase', leaving the dormitory silently.

The team responsible for protecting his safety didn't follow him at all times; they only left the campus with him when he needed them to.

Soon, Li Fei left Martial University without attracting anyone's attention.

He navigated the streets familiarly, hid in a shadow to perform the 'Vajra Seal: Listen', enhanced his perception, and after confirming no one was following him or spying on him in the dark, he manipulated the Ghost-Slaying Saber in his hand to deform, transforming the detached hilt into a mask, wore it on his face, and then changed into black martial attire.

Since he couldn't solve this matter using Li Fei's identity.

Then he would solve it in the way of the Green-Faced Ghost!

Fenghua Street under the night was resplendent and bustling with people.

No matter how many major events happened in this city, no matter how turbulent it was, at least at night, the most romantic place was always this street.

The largest dance hall on Fenghua Street, 'Yuanxiang Pool', was operating as usual tonight, and who knew how many young masters, wealthy merchants, and even officials had come here to have fun.

Different songs and dances were performed on the stage of every floor; some places were lively, some were quiet.

There were no song and dance performances on the sixth floor of 'Yuanxiang Pool', but many people dreamed of ascending to the sixth floor because the legendary Feng Sanniang was here.

Pa—

A window on the sixth floor was gently shaken open by a burst of force.

The next second, a figure flashed in from outside the window, landing silently on the carpet.

"What—"

Shua!

The figure that landed instantly disappeared from the spot, and the carpet underfoot seemed to have been cut by a saber, splitting into a long mark that spread forward.

Shua—

A saber light flashed at the end of the corridor, and blood fell like rain, staining the walls and carpet red.

The bodies of two guards were cut in two, their internal organs spilling out.

Li Fei pushed open the main door in front of him with one palm, rushed in, and closed the door behind him.

Just as he rushed into the room, three flying knives carrying azure force shot toward his face.

Li Fei swung his saber to knock the three flying knives away. The force attached to the flying knives was like maggots on a bone the moment they made contact, rapidly spreading along the Ghost-Slaying Saber and then to Li Fei's palm.

And then, there was no then...

"Young Master Qing?!"

The one who threw the flying knives was none other than Feng Sanniang, who was standing in front of another door, ready to retreat at any time.

Only after seeing the appearance of the person who came did she stop and ask with a frown.

However, she still maintained a defensive posture, ready to leave from the other door at any time.

"Sanniang, long time no see."

Li Fei looked at the stunner not far ahead, his eyes cold.

Feng Sanniang pressed one hand on that door and frowned:

"What does Young Master Qing mean by this? Why suddenly break into my boudoir?"

"That is what I should ask you, Sanniang. What exactly have you been doing in the dark?"

Li Fei said.

Feng Sanniang looked at him with a puzzled face:

"Does Young Master Qing have some misunderstanding? Haven't we been cooperating quite well? If you have something to say, why not say it directly?"

Li Fei looked into her eyes:

"I have actually always had a question, which is how did the 'Beast King' Yu Longqing see through my blinding technique back then and know that I would eventually pick up the goods at Gushi Town? I had people carefully investigate everyone who knew the real pickup location, and didn't find any problems. So I was thinking, is there a possibility that it wasn't my side that had a problem, but the sender's side?"

The sender was Luo Yifu from the provincial capital, and this person was introduced by Feng Sanniang, so Feng Sanniang actually could have known Li Fei's real pickup location.

Feng Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then sneered:

"Young Master Qing wouldn't suspect that I tipped off Yu Longqing, would you? What would I gain? What good would this do for me?"

"Yes, that's why although I had suspicions, I still felt it was unlikely to be you, because killing me wouldn't do you any good, and you wouldn't be able to touch the market for exotic beast rations."

Li Fei nodded, "But what if there is a possibility? A possibility that by killing me, you could eliminate future trouble."

Feng Sanniang's eyes changed, then she smiled: "What possibility?"

"What if the culprit who killed Zhang Zongyang is you? Then wouldn't you have the possibility of killing me?"

Li Fei said word by word.

Begging for monthly votes.
