Inside the secret chamber of the imperial palace.
Princess Minmin knelt outside the room and said solemnly, "Emperor! Was Wu Tiande, the Brocade-Clad Guard captain, really planted by you by my side?"
A deep voice came from the secret room, "What do you mean by planting Brocade-Clad Guard captain by your side? That's unheard of! And who is this Wu Tiande?"
"Just as I expected! Wu Tiande wasn't arranged by you, Emperor!"
"Minmin! What exactly happened?"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this and slowly explained the events to the Emperor...
Upon hearing this, the Emperor suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! It seems that Wu Tiande has a grudge against that brat Li Wuyai! Or perhaps he isn't Wu Tiande at all, but rather using an identity to take advantage of the situation and kill Li Wuyai!"
Princess Minmin smiled upon hearing this and said, "Emperor is indeed very perceptive. He was an imposter, and I already know his true identity!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was slightly surprised. "Hmm? Minmin, do you know who he is? Tell me, I'm quite curious too!"
"Him? He's just a young monk from Shaolin Temple, his Dharma Jue Kong. He's quite strong, only slightly weaker than me. He should be about the same as Li Wuyai, or even a little stronger!"
"Minmin! You still know him?"
"We know each other! We thwarted the evil organization's plot together at Yin Wind Mountain before, so we have some history!"
"I see! This little monk is quite interesting!"
"Emperor! Do you know about the demon beneath the Despair Valley? If it weren't for that little monk's extraordinary fortune in being possessed by a master of innate cultivation, we would probably all have been killed by that demon!"
The Emperor pondered for a moment upon hearing this and slowly said, "I know! But you shouldn't concern yourself with this matter. You don't have the power to interfere. You may take your leave now!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Minmin knew she wouldn't get any answers, so she could only take her leave from her Emperor and slowly walk away.
After Princess Minmin left, the Emperor slowly said, "Is a great calamity about to strike? It seems we must perfect our cultivation techniques as soon as possible, and so must the War Prince! Alas! I hope you won't disappoint..."
As Princess Minmin stepped out of the secret chamber, a black figure slowly followed behind her. Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon seeing this, "Commander Lu! Is there something you need?"
Commander Lu cupped his hands in greeting, "Your Princess! I don't know... I don't know if Wu Tiande was truly sent by the Emperor!"
Princess Minmin chuckled upon hearing this, "No! But you know this person too!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Lu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the Emperor would no longer trust him. He then asked with doubt, "Then who exactly is it?"
Princess Minmin smiled upon hearing this, "Guess for yourself!"
Commander Lu a wry smile upon hearing this, "Alright! I'll investigate it myself!"
Princess Minmin then slowly left the area, thinking to herself, "Little monk! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng slowly walked out of Despair Valley, thinking to himself, "I've already wasted a lot of time. I need to hurry back to Shaolin so that my master won't worry too much!"
"And I wonder if that kid Li Wuyai is dead or not. Even if he isn't, he's lost all his martial arts and become a cripple. He's also been castrated, so he can't do anything anymore. Let him live on in this world!"
"So what if he makes a comeback! I won't take him seriously. He who is defeated by my hand will never have a chance to catch up with me!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Changfeng laughed loudly and slowly walked towards the Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple.
Upon hearing the news of Li Changfeng's death, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger trembled, his face filled with disbelief. He exclaimed, "Jue Kong... he's actually dead! Who killed him?! I'll tear him to pieces!"
Upon Juehai sighed and slowly explained the whole story to the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger.
A moment later.
The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger had a grim expression. "I never expected the people of the Free and Unfettered Sect to be so vicious! They actually did such a despicable thing! No way! I'm going to the Free and Unfettered Sect to seek justice for Jue Kong!"
Having said that, he angrily charged toward the Free and Unfettered Sect. Seeing this, Subduing Dragon Hall quickly stopped him and said solemnly, "Fu Hu, don't be impulsive! Put the Free and Unfettered Sect aside for now. The Imperial Court is now without the Free and Unfettered Sect as a strong ally, so it will be much easier for us to deal with it!"
"If you provoke them now, you'll inadvertently create a formidable enemy, which would be extremely unfortunate! A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. After this matter with the Imperial Court is settled, I'll accompany you to the Free and Unfettered Sect to seek justice!"
Upon hearing the silence, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger suddenly struck out with a palm, slamming it down on a solid stone tablet that was seven or eight zhang in size. With a loud crash, the stone tablet was smashed to pieces.
The leader of the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger roared in fury, "Disciple! Don't worry! After this is over, I will definitely go to the Free and Unfettered Sect to avenge you!!"
Golden Spring Town.
After traveling for some time, Li Changfeng finally returned to Golden Spring Town. Feeling the familiar and lively atmosphere, he was overjoyed.
However, he felt a little sad when he passed by the Dragon Gate Escort Agency. At this time, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency had become an abandoned house, covered with dust and cobwebs, and looked extremely dilapidated.
Li Changfeng sighed, slowly poured a pot of wine in front of the door, and said, "Tou Dadar! I have avenged you for killing your family. Rest in peace!"
After finishing this task, Li Changfeng headed towards Shaolin Temple. However, as he passed through a necessary passage, a sinister voice slowly emanated from it.
"Jue Kong!! I've been waiting for you for so long! I didn't expect you to come back so late! Prepare to die!"
After saying that, a figure in black suddenly rushed out, his whole body bursting with true energy, and used the first move of the [Vajra Prajna Palm], "Vajra Descent". A violent golden true energy condensed all over the black-clad man's body and frantically gathered in his palm.
He unleashed a powerful, fifty-foot-long golden palm print, fierce and domineering, carrying a tremendous force as it hurtled towards Li Changfeng. Its power was astonishing.
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng was immediately startled and put on high alert. He stared at the black-clad man who had suddenly ambushed him, initially thinking it was an ambush by remnants of evil sects. However, he was surprised to find that the attack was pitifully weak and was actually a Buddhist martial art. It seemed that this black-clad man was an undercover agent lurking in Shaolin.
Li Changfeng sneered, his true energy erupted, and he used the first move of the [Vajra Palm of Immense Strength], "Vajra Arrival". A stream of fierce and domineering golden true energy slowly condensed on his body, and a lifelike image of a Vajra appeared behind him.
With a violent strike of both palms, the lifelike Vajra figure behind him also unleashed a double palm strike, its power domineering, fierce, and indestructible, slamming a palm towards the man in black with extreme domineering force!
"Bang"!!
A violent explosion rang out as Li Changfeng's invincible and domineering palm strike shattered the fifty-foot golden palm print of the man in black. The remaining force, undiminished, slammed towards the man in black, slowly advancing towards him amidst the man's terrified gaze.
Suddenly, the man in black felt a powerful palm strike that immobilized him. He was then struck by the force of the palm and sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air before crashing to the ground like a dead dog, completely powerless to fight again.
If Li Changfeng hadn't been trying to find out who this man in black was, he would have smashed him into a bloody mist with a single palm strike. Li Changfeng slowly walked over, tore off the man's black mask, and immediately saw his face clearly. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's you again!"
