Infiltration (Thank you I have two pots of wine for the support)

"This world is much more terrifying than I imagined."

Baili Qingfeng sat on the futon, his expression solemn.

War-level martial artists could break the human limit by tempering their bodies, rushing to the battlefield fully armed like killing machines, one person comparable to a battalion's strength, so those existences above the War-level...

Wouldn't that be one person becoming an army!?

Martial artists are tyrannical, disregarding the law, and with a sharp weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises, wiping out entire families as easily as eating and drinking.

No wonder...

Half a year ago, he was an innocent passerby, just returning home from a job interview, not provoking anyone, yet he was pushed out by a villain to block the way, and then he received a palm strike. If that palm had landed on an ordinary person...

They would have died!

At the time, he felt that Wang Gang, Jiang Ziheng, and others were ferocious, scaring him so much that he couldn't eat or sleep, leading him to take the path of practicing martial arts with his second grandfather.

Now it seems...

All martial artists are like this, killing people at the drop of a hat, wiping out entire families at the slightest provocation.

When he went to Sumen City, he only punished the ringleaders, and after killing Jiang Ziheng, he went home, still thinking that the Jiang Family would be afraid and not retaliate against him. He was too naive, too simple.

Didn't Jiang Hengshan hire the assassin Francolin to assassinate him soon after, slapping him in the face?

Fortunately, Jiang Hengshan hired an assassin to kill him first, instead of simultaneously launching an attack to wipe out his entire family, otherwise, if Baili Hong and Baili Die died due to his negligence...

He would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"I am indeed too young. Jiang Ziheng, Wang Gang, Jiang Hengshan, Eddie, Et... Every martial artist I have encountered is so lawless, so insane... These people's world is too vicious, too terrifying, and goes against the peaceful life I want to live. Once I kill Wang Gang and completely quell the unease in my heart, I will withdraw from the martial world and never provoke anyone in it again."

Baili Qingfeng made a decision in his heart.

But...

Wang Gang seems to have a sect?

Iron Sword Sect?

A moment later, he suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly.

"Wait a minute, Iron Sword Sect!"

The next moment...

His face turned pale.

Deathly pale!

"I overlooked an extremely important factor!"

Hong Lie!

"Miro City, the capital of Daluo Province! Hong Lie is from Daluo Province, from the Iron Sword Sect!?"

He remembered.

Wang Gang, an elder of the Iron Sword Sect, a master of the Tiger's Roar Fist, a renowned martial arts master, and the president of the Miro City Martial Arts Association.

"Hong Lie, Wang Gang, they are both from the Iron Sword Sect!?"

Realizing this, Baili Qingfeng's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

"Sects are always closely connected. My defeating Hong Lie already carried the risk of the younger being defeated and the older coming for revenge. Now, that Wang Gang has a prior grudge with me... If he finds out that I was the one who defeated Hong Lie, he will definitely not let it go..."

Baili Qingfeng never expected that one second he was thinking about retiring from the martial world, and the next he was facing an unprecedentedly dangerous killing intent.

Those are martial world people, martial artists!

A small Jiang Family could produce a ruthless person like Jiang Hengshan, who, when unable to deal with him in a head-on confrontation, dared to hire assassins to kill him. Wu Li, after achieving some success in cultivation, even went to the Wang Family to exterminate their entire household. That Iron Sword Sect Wang Gang, with even greater power...

How cruel would he be!?

If he only targeted himself, that would be somewhat better. He is durable and has strong recovery, so he wouldn't be afraid. But with the ferocity of these martial artists, they would never let his family go.

He has watched many TV shows where the protagonist possesses overwhelming power against the villains, but because the villains captured their parents, relatives, and loved ones, they end up being at their mercy.

Although the protagonist will definitely be able to turn the tables and kill the villains before dying in the end, and the bad guys will definitely be severely punished, but...

TV shows are one thing, reality is another.

What is portrayed on TV is only a very small minority, because it is bizarre and unbelievable, making it worth filming. More people die silently at the hands of the villains.

Moreover, with the villain's brutality, even after the main character dies, they will definitely not keep their promise to let his family go. At that time...

His family will be destroyed!

"My family will be destroyed!"

Baili Qingfeng's expression turned stern.

This time, the situation is ten times more terrifying than the previous threat from the Jiang Family. It is a real crisis of family destruction, a great danger!

The more dangerous the situation, the more calm one must be.

Baili Qingfeng got up without hesitation, went to the training ground outside, and said to Ran Tianchi, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Ran Tianchi, who was practicing Body Refining Technique, was puzzled and quickly came to Baili Qingfeng's training room: "What are your instructions, Master?"

"I ask you, do you know where Hong Lie is now?"

"Hong Lie?"

Ran Tianchi was stunned: "I heard my father say that he has been staying at the Green Water Manor in the East Suburbs of Xia Ya recently to recover from his injuries."

"I understand."

Baili Qingfeng forcibly suppressed his emotions: "Go practice martial arts."

"Yes."

Ran Tianchi didn't understand, but he still retreated.

"As expected!"

After Ran Tianchi left, Baili Qingfeng's heart sank.

His guess...

Was most likely true.

Hong Lie, or rather, the Iron Sword Sect, wouldn't let it go!

Otherwise, given Hong Lie's injuries, he would definitely leave Xia Ya to recuperate. The fact that he was staying in Xia Ya and unwilling to leave proved that they hadn't given up their evil intentions.

"His staying in Xia Ya is definitely to wait for reinforcements. No, I'm just a student who has practiced martial arts for half a year and is not even twenty years old, with limited strength. Once his reinforcements arrive, how can I resist? I must strike first, hoping it's not too late!"

Baili Qingfeng got up.

But just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell on the sword in his hand.

This time, the opponents he might face were not just Hong Lie and Wang Gang, but...

The entire Iron Sword Sect!

"Although I use fist techniques when fighting, I actually integrate sword techniques into them. I haven't practiced fist techniques myself. Today's trip, I'm afraid I have to be enemies with a major sect like the Iron Sword Sect that dominates a city. It can be said that it's a narrow escape from death, or even certain death. If I'm unarmed again, the degree of danger will increase geometrically."

Thinking of this, he put the sword into the sword case.

This sword was given to him by Morpheus not long ago when he showed his strength to defeat Hong Lie. It was made of alloy and crafted by a famous artisan, and it was quite valuable.

At least...

It was much higher in grade than the sword used by the square dance aunties that he took from his second grandpa's house.

Putting the sword into the sword case, Baili Qingfeng put it away, looked at the time outside, which was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and left the martial arts hall with a solemn aura.

In order to save money, he originally wanted to take a bus, but Green Water Manor was located in the suburbs, and there was no direct bus stop. The nearest bus stop required a 1.5-kilometer walk.

Originally, 1.5 kilometers was just 1.5 kilometers, not very long, but the problem was...

It was nine o'clock.

The bus driver was off work.

So Baili Qingfeng had to take a taxi. After bargaining with the taxi driver, he set off for Green Water Manor.

Half an hour later, Baili Qingfeng arrived at the cement road outside Green Water Manor.

Although Green Water Manor is called a manor...

It's actually a small resort hotel.

It consists of two buildings and six distinctive villas surrounding a pond.

Usually, everyone fishes here, chats, and occasionally climbs the ridge not far from the manor, enjoying a bit of the "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains" kind of wild fun.

Walls?

They don't exist.

Taking advantage of the night, Baili Qingfeng quickly arrived at Green Water Manor, lurking and infiltrating the manor like a ghost, with "very" professional movements.

The manor has two buildings, one is the cafeteria and conference room, and the other is the accommodation area, with four floors, each with ten to twenty rooms.

Whether it was because the manor's business was bad or for other reasons, the occupancy rate was not high. Baili Qingfeng walked past the rooms one by one, stopping at some to listen and see if he could get any useful information.

Just...

An hour passed.

"Logically speaking, when I lurk outside these room doors to eavesdrop, the people inside should say some major secrets, so that I can learn the enemy's detailed information and distribution of power, so that I can defeat them one by one. How come... apart from some strange panting, I can't hear any useful information..."

Baili Qingfeng was speechless and had to go downstairs to the front desk.

The front desk was a woman in her thirties, watching a movie on the computer. Baili Qingfeng came over without saying hello.

So, Baili Qingfeng had to step forward and say, "I want to find someone named Hong Lie."

"We don't provide guest information here. If you want to find someone, go find them yourself..."

"Watching movies at work? What's your complaint number?"

Baili Qingfeng patted the table and said with some dissatisfaction.

The front desk gave Baili Qingfeng a blank look, but seeing that he was a sunny and handsome young man, she didn't mock him. She reluctantly shrunk the video, searched for a while, and quickly pointed outside: "Villa area, Building Four."
