Qiao Feng and the others witnessed this scene. Even as they marveled at Duan Yanqing's ruthlessness, they could not help but feel deep wariness toward Xiao Feng.
This Jianghu Encyclopedia before them was truly too uncanny!
The Four Great Evils had wreaked havoc in the jianghu for decades without being eliminated, which showed just how difficult they were to deal with.
Yet Xiao Feng had used only a few words to make the Four Great Evils slaughter one another. No one would believe it if they heard of it.
After killing Yue Lao San, Duan Yanqing turned to Xiao Feng and asked in his hoarse ventriloquial voice, "Can you tell me now?"
"Don't be so impatient~"
Xiao Feng waved his hand. "There's an order to these things. Once Ye Erniang kills Yun Zhonghe, I'll answer her question first, then I'll answer yours."
Duan Yanqing frowned slightly at those words and turned to look at Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe.
Although Ye Erniang was stronger than Yun Zhonghe, Yun Zhonghe excelled most at qinggong.
Though Yun Zhonghe had already fallen into a disadvantage and could only desperately fend off Ye Erniang's attacks, killing him was no easy task for Ye Erniang.
Duan Yanqing only wanted to learn the whereabouts of that Long-Haired Guanyin and his son as quickly as possible. He did not have the patience to wait any longer.
Therefore, Duan Yanqing raised his crutch and used the One Finger Divine Skill to sever Yun Zhonghe's right leg from afar.
Pfft!!!
Taking advantage of Yun Zhonghe's injured leg, before he could evade, Ye Erniang cleaved off his head with her steel saber.
Having successfully killed Yun Zhonghe, Ye Erniang immediately turned to Xiao Feng and asked, "I've killed Yun Zhonghe. Tell me quickly, where is my poor child?"
"Don't get worked up. Listen while I explain."
Xiao Feng gestured for Ye Erniang to calm down and said unhurriedly, "Back then, Xiao Yuanshan leaped from a cliff to die for love, yet he luckily survived. The more he thought about it afterward, the angrier he became.
Xiao Yuanshan thought, since you falsely accused me of stealing Shaolin Temple's Martial Arts Manuals, then I'll steal them for you to see.
So Xiao Yuanshan secretly infiltrated Shaolin Temple and, every so often, went to the Scripture Pavilion to browse through the Shaolin Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques stored there.
Later, Xiao Yuanshan accidentally discovered the secret that you and Xuan Ci had an illicit affair and a child. He then thought of an excellent way to take revenge on him.
He would snatch away your newborn child, send him to Shaolin Temple as an orphan, and have him wander beneath Xuan Ci's nose every day, never able to recognize each other as father and son."
Ye Erniang's voice trembled with excitement. "You mean my poor child is currently a monk at Shaolin Temple?"
"That's right! His current name is Xu Zhu, an ugly little monk."
"Son, my good son, don't be afraid. Mother is coming, Mother is coming..."
Having learned of her son's whereabouts, Ye Erniang no longer cared about the task of stalling for time. She only wanted to reach Shaolin Temple as quickly as possible.
"Wicked woman, don't run!"
Just as Ye Erniang was about to leave, Qiao Feng suddenly roared and unleashed the incomparably fierce Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, blasting toward her.
Leaving aside Ye Erniang's countless evils, Qiao Feng could never simply stand by and let her go after learning that she was Xuan Ci's lover.
Qiao Feng planned to kill Ye Erniang first, then go to Shaolin Temple to settle accounts with Xuan Ci and, while he was there, meet his biological father for the first time.
Though Ye Erniang was not weak, she was nearly powerless to resist before a top-tier master like Qiao Feng and was killed by a single palm strike.
Seeing this, Duan Yanqing had no intention of avenging Ye Erniang. Instead, he urged Xiao Feng, "Can you tell me now?"
"Of course!"
Xiao Feng smiled and nodded. "This matter begins with Prince Duan Zhengchun of the Dali Kingdom."
Duan Zhengchun? This guy again!
When everyone heard Duan Zhengchun's name, their expressions immediately turned strange. They instinctively glanced at Kang Min, then cast curious looks at Xiao Feng.
"Duan Zhengchun was lecherous by nature. During his travels through the jianghu in his younger years, he incurred quite a few romantic debts."
Halfway through speaking, Xiao Feng turned to Duan Yu, whose face had become a mask of pain, and teased, "I imagine Young Master Duan understands this deeply, doesn't he? Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, whom you met earlier, clearly loved each other with you, but then you discovered they were both your father's illegitimate daughters. Your sweethearts became your actual sisters."
(-ω-)-ω-)-ω-)
The people present were rendered speechless. Their gazes toward Duan Yu were filled with sympathy.
"Oh, right! I have another piece of good news for you."
Xiao Feng suddenly revealed a devilish smile and pointed at Wang Yuyan and the others. "Two of those three are your sisters as well."
Boom!!!
Duan Yu felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue and was completely stunned!
Thinking of the camellias at Mantuo Manor, as well as Wang Madam's attitude toward him, Duan Yu did not dare think any further.
"Miss A Zhu, your father is Duan Zhengchun, and your mother's name is Ruan Xingzhu."
Xiao Feng got straight to the point. "Not only was Duan Zhengchun a habitual philanderer, but he also had no sense of responsibility.
Your mother gave birth to daughters out of wedlock back then. To avoid bringing shame upon the family, you and your twin sister were sent away by the Ruan family to be raised by others as soon as you were born.
To make it easier to recognize you in the future, Ruan Xingzhu specially carved the character 'Duan' onto your sisters' shoulders.
She also had two gold lock pendants of the same design made for the two of you.
Twelve words were engraved upon your gold lock pendant: 'Stars in the sky, shining bright, forever brilliant, ever peaceful.'
The same twelve words were engraved upon your sister's gold lock pendant: 'Bamboo by the lake, lush and green, bringing peace, much joy.'
The characters 'Xing' and 'Zhu' in these inscriptions represent your mother's name."
A Bi could not help exclaiming in surprise, "Sister A Zhu, doesn't that mean you're a princess of the Dali Kingdom?"
Because A Bi had grown up with A Zhu, and the two often bathed together, she had seen the character 'Duan' on A Zhu's shoulder as well as that exquisitely crafted gold lock pendant.
Murong Fu, hidden in the shadows, also wore an extremely colorful expression when he heard this.
Had he known A Zhu was a princess of the Dali Kingdom, Murong Fu would have long since taken her into his chambers.
As Murong Fu knew, the current emperor of the Dali Kingdom had no descendants and would certainly pass the throne to Duan Zhengchun in the future. Duan Zhengchun, meanwhile, had only one son, Duan Yu.
If Murong Fu married A Zhu, he would become the Dali Kingdom's imperial son-in-law.
Then, all he needed to do was find an opportunity to get rid of Duan Yu. Wouldn't inheriting the throne of the Dali Kingdom be as easy as turning over his hand?
At that thought, Murong Fu's breathing quickened. He had never imagined Restoration could be so close at hand.
Before A Zhu could recover from her shock, Xiao Feng turned to Wang Yuyan and revealed a smile that made people uneasy.
