Chapter 370: Heavenly Steel Sect

On the evening of May 21st, Li Fei rode in the dark-gold "Red Qilin" and, under the protection of the Martial Peace Guard, arrived at Baoyun Temple.

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

However, Li Fei was not here to offer incense.

He had 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 gate of Baoyun Temple.

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

"Patron, may I ask what you need?"

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

Li Fei said politely.

The young monk who opened the door looked Li Fei over with curiosity and asked, "Is the patron named Li Fei?"

"Yes."

"Then please wait a moment."

The young monk closed the door, and the sound of his retreating footsteps could be heard from behind it.

A moment later, the side door was opened again, and the young monk who had just left, panting for breath, handed a thick book to Li Fei:

"Patron Li, this is what Patron Hao asked me to give you. He said he will not see you tonight, nor will he see you in the future, and that you should go back."

"."

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

Unsurprisingly, this book should be the sect inheritance of Hao Yi's lineage.

"Please trouble the little master to pass a message to my teacher for me."

Li Fei said, looking into the young monk's eyes.

"Please speak, Patron."

The young monk nodded earnestly.

More than ten minutes later, the young monk walked into a Buddha hall.

In the great hall, besides the magnificent Buddha statues, there were two people.

One was Hao Yi, and the other was Master Master Yunshen.

"How did it go?"

Master Yunshen looked at the young monk who had returned to report and asked kindly.

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

"What message?"

Hao Yi looked at the young monk.

The young 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 outside Xingcheng where horse bandits attacked a village, and the Chief at the time, Gu Gu Zhenhui, had personally come to beg him to intervene.

In fact, Hao Yi was very clear that Gu Gu Zhenhui was clearly using moral coercion at that time.

Back then, Li Fei had said to him: "Teacher, just go and do what you believe is right."

Now, Li Fei had said these words to Hao Yi once again.

Only this time, it was his student who was going to do what he believed was right.

"I understand, thank you for your trouble."

Hao Yi thanked the young monk.

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

Master Master Yunshen said.

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

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

Master Yunshen said with a straight face: "Stronger than you were at his age."

"Hahahaha."

Hao Yi laughed heartily, a rare occurrence.

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

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

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

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

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

Today, through the information provided by the archives, Li Fei already knew that the sect of Hao Yi's lineage was called the "Heavenly Steel Sect," a sect that had once been prosperous in the days of their ancestors but had since declined.

The founder of the Heavenly Steel Sect was a Martial Dao Grandmaster, but later the sect suffered a great disaster, leading to the loss of much of its inheritance, which is why each generation was worse than the last.

By the time it reached Hao Yi's generation, the Heavenly Steel Sect was almost a single-line transmission, and for over a hundred years, no member had succeeded in cultivating the Foundation of Martial Dao to become a Martial Dao Master.

Even so, the book Hao Yi gave Li Fei recorded the complete cultivation methods for four types of Foundations of Martial Dao!

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

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

To be recognized as a Great Martial Dao Sect, besides having at least one Martial Dao Master, one must also possess at least three different cultivation methods for the Foundation of Martial Dao.

When the Heavenly Steel Sect reached Hao Yi's hands, it still had four types of Dao Foundation cultivation methods, and none of them were ordinary Foundations of Martial Dao; they even included the 【Primordial Heavenly Gold】, the most top-tier Dao Foundation!

Besides this, the book also recorded over a dozen martial arts of the Heavenly Steel Sect. Although their grades did not reach the level of the "Vajra Seal" and the "Red Sound Fire Vajra Method," they were definitely first-class martial arts in the world of martial arts.

Furthermore, it contained Hao Yi's own handwritten insights on blade techniques and cultivation.

This was far more precious than powerful martial arts!

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

When he wrote this, he likely did not know that Li Fei had already broken through his realm, so he started writing from the "Return to One" section.

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 and every issue was detailed, written from the Qi Transformation stage all the way to the construction of the Foundation of Martial Dao.

It was written in a sprawling manner, totaling 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 worried that one day he would no longer be able to guide Li Fei, so he wrote down these contents in advance.

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

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

The team of Martial Peace Guards responsible for his safety did not follow him at all times; they only left the campus with him when he needed them to.

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

He navigated the streets and alleys familiarly, hiding in a shadow to perform the Vajra Seal: Listen to Truth to enhance his perception. After confirming that no one was following him and no one was spying on him in the dark, he manipulated the Ghost-Slaying Blade in his hand to deform, turning the detached hilt into a mask to wear on his face, and then changed into black martial attire.

Since this matter could not be solved using Li Fei's identity.

Then let it be solved in the way of the Green-Faced Ghost!

Under the night, Zhu Fenghua Street was brilliant and golden, with surging crowds.

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

The largest dance hall on Zhu Fenghua Street, "Yuanxiang Pool," was operating as usual tonight, and countless young masters, wealthy merchants, and even officials ran here to have fun.

On the stage of every floor, different songs and dances were performed; some places were lively, while others were quiet.

The sixth floor of "Yuanxiang Pool" had no song or dance performances, but many dreamed of ascending to the sixth floor, because the legendary Feng Feng Sanniang was here.

Snap—

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—"

Swish!

The figure that landed disappeared from the spot instantly, and the carpet underfoot looked as if it had been cut by a blade, splitting into a long mark that spread forward.

Swish—

A flash of blade light flickered 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 from their torsos.

Li Fei pushed open the 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 deep blue force shot toward his face.

Li Fei swung his blade to knock the three flying knives away. The force attached to the flying knives was like bone-eating gangrene the moment it made contact, rapidly spreading along the Ghost-Slaying Blade and then onto Li Fei's palm.

And then, there was no then.

"Young Master Qing?!"

It was Feng Feng Sanniang who had thrown the flying knives; she was standing in front of another door, ready to retreat at any time.

She only stopped after seeing the appearance of the person who had arrived, and asked with a frown.

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

"Feng Sanniang, long time no see."

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

Feng Feng Sanniang had one hand pressed against that door, frowning as she said:

"What is the meaning of this, Young Master Qing? Why have you suddenly barged into my boudoir?"

"That is for you to answer, Feng Sanniang. What exactly have you been doing in the shadows?"

Li Fei said.

Feng Feng Sanniang looked at him with a face full of confusion:

"Is there some misunderstanding, Young Master Qing? Haven't we been cooperating perfectly well? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Li Fei looked into her eyes:

"I have actually always had a question, which is how exactly did 'Beast King' Yu Yu Longqing see through my diversion and know that I would ultimately be picking up the goods at Gushi Town? I had people carefully investigate everyone who knew the real pickup location, and I didn't find any issues. So I was thinking, is there a possibility that the problem wasn't on my end, but rather on the sender's end?"

The sender was Luo Luo Yifu from the provincial capital, and this person had been introduced by Feng Feng Sanniang, so Feng Feng Sanniang was also capable of knowing Li Fei's real pickup location.

Feng Feng Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then sneered:

"Young Master Qing wouldn't be suspecting that I tipped off Yu Yu Longqing, would he? What would I gain from that? What benefit is there in it for me?"

"That's right, so although I had my suspicions, I still felt it was unlikely to be you, because killing me brings you no benefits, and you wouldn't be able to get your hands on the exotic beast feed market."

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

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

"What if you are the murderer who killed Zhang Chen Zongyang? Wouldn't that give you a motive to kill me?"

Li Fei said, enunciating every word.

Requesting monthly tickets.
