The Yellow Bird Appears

After clearing the debris in front of the stone door, Kong Wu stepped forward and patted the stone door.

"Interesting..."

Feeling the slightly rough friction, Kong Wu spread his legs apart, placing his large palm flat against the stone door.

The muscles on his back contorted and twisted, like a ferocious ghost's face staring out at everyone behind him through his thin clothes.

The muscles on his shoulders tensed abruptly, channeling strength into his arms.

Crack~

With a strange sound, the stone door trembled, shaking off years of accumulated dust.

Xiao Yunming's eyes lit up. Before he could say anything, he saw Kong Wu put in a burst of effort, and the trembling stone door slowly began to move.

With a rumbling roar, the gap in the middle of the stone door widened.

"Hah!"

Kong Wu grunted, increasing the force in his hands as he pushed.

With a boom, the stone door opened completely, revealing a dark opening.

Casually dusting off his hands, Kong Wu turned around and said with ease, "Done!"

Behind him, there was an unusual silence, with only the rapid breathing of the strong men echoing.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Hong's face was full of smiles. As he was about to step forward and say something, he noticed Kong Wu looking back the way they came with a subtle smile on his face.

The next moment, he seemed to sense something as well, his expression instantly turning grim as he turned around to look.

Jin Hefeng, accompanied by four or five Demon Suppression Guards, walked down with his hands behind his back.

"Senior Xiao is so happy, why not share your joy with your junior?"

[Jin Hefeng][Lifespan: 299][Strength: 71][Skills: Blood Slaughter Heart Sutra, Soul Chasing Claws, Heavenly Net Saber.]

The Captain of the Purple Flame County Demon Suppression Division walked down as if no one else was there.

"The former dynasty's royal tomb is no place for the faint of heart. Why didn't Senior Xiao give me a heads-up? That way, I could have lent you a hand."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Hong's eyes narrowed, while Xiao Yunming immediately scanned the Purple Flame Hall disciples around him.

Xiao Hong's tone was no longer as gentle. "Captain Jin's methods are indeed impressive. You've clearly put a lot of thought into my Purple Flame Hall."

Very few people even within the Purple Flame Hall knew about the royal tomb. Even the Purple Flame Hall disciples present only learned about it after they came down.

And they had been under constant observation since they descended, meaning Jin Hefeng must have known about it beforehand.

Therefore, the people he had planted within the Purple Flame Hall must hold high positions.

Who could it be?

His gaze swept over the few people who knew the full story, and Xiao Hong began to feel wary.

On the other side, Xiao Yunming had already made arrangements.

The Purple Flame Hall disciples moved, subtly surrounding Jin Hefeng and his entourage.

At the same time, Yang Guangchuan, the Left Protector of the Purple Flame Hall, whose cultivation was only slightly below Xiao Hong's, approached and whispered, "He didn't bring many people. Should we..."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong narrowed his eyes and pondered.

On the surface, they wouldn't dare to act against the Demon Suppression Division, as that would draw the attention of the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Even if he, Xiao Hong, successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage, in the face of the Great Jing Dynasty's most powerful force, the Golden Core stage was still like an ant.

But now, they were underground, surrounded by their own people.

"Hall Master, I think..."

Yang Guangchuan moved closer, seemingly having an idea.

However, in the next moment, both of their expressions changed drastically.

A burly figure had appeared beside them at some unknown time.

With a sound like firecrackers, Kong Wu delivered a whip kick.

Xiao Hong reacted quickly. A flash of fire enveloped him in a thin layer of flames.

But as soon as he finished, he saw Kong Wu's whip kick land on Yang Guangchuan, sending him flying.

Yang Guangchuan dragged his feet on the ground, sliding back a considerable distance before stabilizing himself.

He was also covered in a thin layer of flame.

Lowering his slightly numb hands, he glared at Kong Wu and roared, "What are you doing???"

In that short time, Xiao Hong had already created distance between himself and Kong Wu.

Seeing Yang Guangchuan, whose cultivation was only a step below his own, being kicked away by Kong Wu, he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

Although he had an estimate of Kong Wu's physical strength, he hadn't expected him to be this powerful.

If Yang Guangchuan hadn't reacted in time, and this kick had landed on him without any preparation...

Wait!

Was that a timely reaction???

Xiao Hong looked at Yang Guangchuan with disbelief.

Kong Wu grinned and said, "This old guy still owes me something. If you let him get killed, the loss will be mine."

As soon as he said this, Yang Guangchuan's heart trembled, and he looked at Kong Wu in disbelief.

How did he figure it out???

Only three people knew about his transaction with Jin Hefeng. Moreover, given his status as second-in-command in the Purple Flame Hall, no one would have suspected him of contacting the Demon Suppression Guards.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he quickly spoke up, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly attack the Hall Master? You're some unknown character, and I suspect you are the one who leaked information to the Demon Suppression Guards!"

Xiao Yunming, on the other side, also noticed this scene. Compared to Kong Wu, whom he had just met, he placed more trust in this veteran figure of the Purple Flame Hall.

Following a signal, all the Purple Flame Hall personnel, except for those guarding against Jin Hefeng and his group, glared at Kong Wu with unfriendly expressions.

Surrounded by a group of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Kong Wu showed no fear. Instead, he licked his lips, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

He wouldn't kill innocent people for attribute points.

But if someone attacked him, he couldn't be blamed.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, as if a chaotic battle was about to erupt, Xiao Hong sighed deeply. "Do you feel that even if there are extra Qi Condensation Pills inside, you won't get any, or if there are cultivation methods, they won't be given to you?"

He looked at Yang Guangchuan with endless disappointment in his eyes.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Yunming was confused by his words.

Yang Guangchuan looked agitated, as if he had suffered an unjust accusation. Just as he was about to defend himself, Jin Hefeng spoke up from the side.

"Brother Guangchuan, forget it. The old man has already figured it out."

Upon hearing this, the complex expression on Yang Guangchuan's face vanished instantly, and he sighed, "What a shame about such a good opportunity, ruined by this guy."

After saying this, before the Purple Flame Hall personnel could react, Yang Guangchuan leaped to Jin Hefeng's side.

"Senior Xiao, let me tell you, no one in the Demon Suppression Division knows I'm here. These people behind me are all my own men. So, Brother Guangchuan's suggestion just now was very good. You just need to kill me, and no one will know what happened here."

Jin Hefeng spread his hands and said casually.
