At this moment, the three men in black stopped rushing forward, looking at Li Changfeng with fear on their faces, cold sweat slowly dripping down their backs. Then, without saying a word, they fled backward.
"Hmph! Trying to run away! Do you think you can get away?"
Li Changfeng sneered, his true energy erupted, and he used the first move of the Shaolin Dragon Grasp, "Retrieving Objects from Afar." Li Changfeng's hands stirred up a thick, light golden true energy, which condensed into a light golden dragon claw fifty feet in size.
He grabbed at the three large rocks around him, using a hundred years of Inner Force to unleash a force of 9,500 jin, violently smashing it towards the men in black. The power was astonishing!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Three rapid whooshing sounds rang out as three large rocks hurtled violently towards them. The three fleeing men in black were startled and immediately gritted their teeth, each unleashing their strongest attack, which struck the three oncoming rocks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three men unleashed their full power and struck the three raging boulders, producing a series of muffled thuds. They were instantly shattered by Li Changfeng's domineering and fierce strength. Their hands were broken, and the three boulders smashed into them, turning them into three piles of minced meat. They were beyond dead!
After killing the three men in black, Li Changfeng turned around and found that Qu Qingsheng was gone. It seemed that he had taken the opportunity to escape. Without saying a word, Li Changfeng chased after him according to the traces left by Qu Qingsheng.
At this moment, Qu Qingsheng was pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat. He left afterimages on the ground as he frantically fled. He never expected that Li Changfeng would be so strong, and he was almost scared out of his wits.
Li Changfeng caught up with Qu Qingsheng and teased him from behind, "Qu Qingsheng! You little mouse, you can run pretty fast! Let's see how far you can go!"
Li Changfeng remained calm and unhurried. Since his lightness skill was lacking, he could only slowly chase after Qu Qingsheng, intending to wear the guy down.
At this moment, Qu Qingsheng's face was pale and bloodless. He was severely injured by Li Changfeng's domineering and fierce true energy. Even his True Qi Seed was slowly cracked. What made him despair was that there was still a cliff in front of him, leaving him with no choice!
"Come on! Why aren't you moving? Are you waiting for me to see you off?"
Qu Qingsheng, his face filled with terror, begged for mercy, "Li Changfeng! Please! Don't kill me! I can give you the inheritance I possess, and I can even tell you who else is harboring the traitor within Shaolin! Just don't kill me!"
Li Changfeng sneered upon hearing this, "Fine! Then go and talk to him in front of Buddha!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng made his move and slammed down with his palm. No matter how valuable someone was, Li Changfeng would not hold back against those who were trying to kill him. In any case, he already knew who had plotted against him, so he would leave those matters to Shaolin to investigate themselves.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng ignored him and struck Qu Qingsheng with a palm. Seeing that Li Changfeng was unmoved and still wanted to kill him, Qu Qingsheng glared at Li Changfeng with resentment and jumped off the cliff.
"Li Changfeng! As long as I, Qu Qingsheng, live, I will make you wish you were dead!!!"
"Hey! How come there's a secret manual on the ground?"
Li Changfeng slowly picked up the manual, which was inscribed with the Life and Death Talisman."Li Changfeng then slowly opened the manual and said, "This is the Life and Death Talisman, a unique hidden weapon of the Tianshan Child Granny of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Those who are hit by this talisman will be unable to live or die and will be controlled by others. It is an extremely vicious hidden weapon!"
The manual also states that to master this secret technique, one must Inner Force of over a hundred years. One must use one's own true energy, combined with any liquid, to reverse the flow of true energy, transforming the masculine energy into the Yin Softness, icy power, and then injecting it into the enemy's body in an icy form!
Li Changfeng thought to himself, "Luckily, this kid's Inner Force isn't strong enough! Otherwise, if he had mastered this vicious technique, things would have been much more difficult!"
At this moment, Abbot Hongchen led several disciples to check on what had happened on the back mountain and immediately spotted Li Changfeng. "Jue Kong! What exactly happened?"
"That bastard Qu Qingsheng colluded with those men in black to ambush me, but I killed him in return. Also, it was Qu Qingsheng who leaked my whereabouts!"
At this moment, a monk with a sinister face walked over and said calmly, "Brother Jue Kong, do you have any evidence?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng coldly replied, "No evidence! Is your Discipline Hall trying to capture me and take me back?"
"Hehe! That's not true! But you'll have to stay at Shaolin Temple for a while, senior brother, and wait for the investigation results!"
"Does that mean I'll be confined to my quarters until your Discipline Hall finds out the results?"
"Hehe! Of course not, give me three days and I'll get to the bottom of this!"
"Hmph! That's more like it!"
Abbot Hongchen slowly said, "Don't worry Jue Kong! This boy Luyan is one of the abbot's men Abbot the Discipline Hall. They won't frame you!"
"Alright! In that case, go ahead and investigate!"
The secret chamber of Shaolin Temple.
In the dimly lit room, a candle was lit on a dark green table, on which sat a pot of tea and two teacups. Two dark figures slowly sat down in chairs, leisurely sipping their tea.
A dark figure slowly said, "How are these scapegoats being dealt with?"
Another figure in black chuckled sinisterly, "We handed it over to the head of the Discipline Hall. The investigation revealed exactly what that kid said: they didn't leave any trace of us. Even if they caught that traitor, they wouldn't be able to find anything!"
"Okay! That's good..."
"You won't go back on your promise to me, will you?"
"Don't worry! I definitely won't go back on my word!"
Three days later.
Discipline Hall.
Abbot Hongchen frowned and asked, "Jie Chen! What do you mean?"
Abbot Jiecun solemnly said, "According to Luyan's investigation, just as that kid Jue Kong said, Qu Qingsheng was indeed the one who leaked the information. Jue Kong accidentally discovered their collusion with the Imperial Court and directly killed them!"
"Is it really that simple? I feel like this matter is far too easy; these traitors were identified in no time!"
"I also feel something's not right. We'll just have to continue our covert investigation!"
"Alright! That's the only way!"
"By the way, what do you think of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency? They were wiped out overnight. Was it the Imperial Court's doing?"
"Hmm... We're still in a ceasefire, so they shouldn't have made the first move! Are they going to break their promise and wipe out the Dragon Gate Escort Agency to give us a warning?"
"I don't think they're likely to make a move. The Imperial Court is the dominant power in the south, so no matter what, it won't provoke public outrage. However, all the people from the Dragon Gate Escort Agency died under the unique swordsmanship of the Brocade-Clad Guard, and all of this points to them as the murderers!"
"It seems we need to send someone to investigate secretly! This person must be very powerful, and their reputation can't be too good!"
"I do have someone in mind! You and I both know who it is!"
