Uncle Wang walked into the martial arts hall.
"Hey sir, I'm here to call you for dinner." Uncle Wang said with a hehe smile: "But we've changed venues. My pot isn't big enough, so I decided to do it at Pig Meat Rong's place across from you on short notice."
"No problem, you go ahead first. I'll tidy up and be right over," Yi Feng said with a smile.
"Alright sir, I've already prepared two jars of good wine waiting for you. Come over when you're ready and start eating," Uncle Wang said with a hehe laugh while propping himself up with his cane as he left.
Just then, in the alley across the way, two shadows flashed over at high speed and landed on the ground.
The two people appeared to be from prestigious backgrounds, dressed lavishly, but their appearances left much to be desired.
The fifty-something man had a deathly pale complexion, as if he was suffering from a major illness, coughing from time to time.
The other appeared to be a heavenly fairy behind her veil, but her face under the veil was swollen. Perhaps due to the swelling, her nose was crooked and her eyes were unevenly sized.
They were none other than Peng Xianer and Chang Jiankong who had chased after Jiang Yu but were blasted midway by the black-robed man.
That punch nearly knocked the two of them out directly.
After consuming most of the medicinal pills on them and meditating in place for several days, they finally managed to suppress their injuries.
As a result, they were unable to catch up to the horrifying scene that day!
However, based on the information from the Heavenly Sword Sect, they also knew that Jiang Yu was annihilated that day by a hidden master in the mundane world. Using other clues, they roughly figured out that Jiang Yu was destroyed somewhere around here.
"According to the scout from the Heavenly Sword Sect, people from Wind and Cloud Valley, Demon Sound Sect, and Blowing Snow Mountain Villa have all met and received benefits from that peerless master. It seems they obtained quite a bit," Peng Xianer said with a frown.
"That's right, the reports say the same," Chang Jiankong nodded and said, "Unfortunately, those major sects intend to block the news. Even our scouts couldn't find out which peerless character it was."
Peng Xianer's icy eyes shimmered.
"The most damnable thing is that mysterious black-robed man that day. His strength was so astonishing that if it weren't for bumping into him midway, we would've arrived at the scene early on. How could we have let those worthless people like Yun Xianque and the Fifth Elder get there first?"
"The Holy Maiden is right. But there's no use talking about it now. Let's hurry and find a way to determine who that person is!" Chang Jiankong sighed and said, "We can't let the other sects monopolize this opportunity!"
"Mm!"
Peng Xianer nodded.
After all, the Fifth Elder, Yun Xianque and the others had obtained opportunities from that person. She absolutely could not accept it if her Heavenly Sword Sect was the only one excluded.
And so, the two began searching the area for clues.
A faint stench made Peng Xianer notice something.
Walking over to the smelly gutter nearby, sure enough there was a corpse inside.
The corpse appeared to have been there for several days. Despite being unrecognizable with decay all over its body in this cold weather, the clothes it wore could still reveal its identity.
"This is...?"
Chang Jiankong cried out in alarm.
"That's right, it's that worthless Yu Wujie!"
Looking at the corpse, Peng Xianer's expression was somewhat complicated.
"I previously thought I had misjudged him and was willing to let go of past grudges, letting him become a dog under me. In the end, it turns out he wasn't even qualified to be a dog and this is how he ended up. He deserved it!"
Chang Jiankong didn't say anything.
He knew a little about the past of this newly promoted Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"But his corpse being here also means we didn't come to the wrong place. The peerless master who killed Jiang Yu should be nearby." Peng Xianer said.
As she spoke, her gaze moved as she tried to look for clues.
Unintentionally, she caught sight of the nearby martial arts hall.
No wonder this area felt familiar, it turned out to be this place.
Her eyes involuntarily revealed hatred. She clearly remembered the humiliation at Chun Xi Lake that day.
Just then, a familiar figure that she recognized walked out of the martial arts hall, coincidentally heading in her direction.
In no time, the two met face-to-face.
"Stop right there."
Peng Xianer lifted her jade-like foot to block Yi Feng's path.
"What's the matter?"
Yi Feng glanced at the obstructing woman, completely failing to recognize his former childhood sweetheart.
"What, you don't recognize me anymore?"
Peng Xianer smiled meaningfully and leisurely said, "Could it be you don't even remember my voice? Think back carefully."
"I don't remember, so who are you?"
Yi Feng scratched his head and asked.
Hearing this, Peng Xianer felt stifled in her chest, nearly spurting out a mouthful of blood from anger.
She had thought Yi Feng would instantly recognize her and beg for mercy on his knees, but his reaction gave her the feeling of punching cotton.
"Peng Village, Peng Ying, surely you remember now!"
Peng Ying's voice was icy. She no longer intended to beat around the bush with Yi Feng, directly revealing her identity.
"Oh."
"It's you..."
Yi Feng nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Judging by your bruised and swollen face, looks like you haven't been doing so well. You're blocking me because..."
As he spoke, Yi Feng's expression changed slightly as he subconsciously took a step back.
"You're not blocking me to get back together, are you?"
