ly difficult for them to detect her presence.And she was also small and thin, when she hunched over she truly became a tiny ball, hiding behind An Xuetang like that. It would be hard for ordinary peop...Only the Beijiang Royal Manor and people from Xintang Valley have access to explosives.

Now he could actually hear the sound of explosions... Could this mean that Yun Si and the others…

Thinking about this, Feng Ming felt a twinge of unease in his heart.

But unexpectedly, the man standing before him smiled and said, "Our plan has begun."

"!"

Feng Ming's brows furrowed, he suddenly looked at this mysterious person, "Is this your plan What about them Are they safe"

"To be precise, this is a plan devised by old me and the Northern Border Princess. As for those you are concerned about, rest assured, they are all safe and sound right now. The sounds you heard were merely a ruse orchestrated by old me to mislead that person. Like you, they feigned death to escape detection."

Hearing him explain it this way, Fengming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was silent for a moment before realizing what the person in front of him had just said, about master and skill.

Feng Ming didn't rush to leave. He walked over and sat down, holding Da Zi in his arms and comforting him. He then asked the person, "What do you mean by what you just said Are you a fellow student with that person"

The mysterious man, caught off guard by Feng Ming's question at this crucial moment, had nothing left to hide. He admitted, "That's right, we are not only from the same school but were like brothers before. It's just a pity..."

This person didn't know what they were thinking about, but a hint of hatred appeared in their eyes. Besides hatred, there was also a certain emotion that Feng Ming couldn't be sure of.

Feng Ming didn't interrupt him at this time. He stroked Da Zi's fur while waiting for the man to continue.

After a moment of silence, the man continued to speak slowly.

He and the man in the mask were the only two disciples of the long-lost Qingmen Gang, how long their master had lived, they didn't know.

About the Qingmen Gang, they had all read about them in books. In their eyes, the Qingmen Gang no longer existed in the world. Who would have thought that one day, someone would save them from death and take them as disciples, teaching them martial arts and imparting to them the most powerful formations in the world.

All the lost internal energy cultivation techniques of this world, they have all learned thoroughly, that's why they possess such profound internal energy.

He had thought that the three of them, master and apprentice, lived a good life in a place like an idyllic paradise. But who knew that such a life would encounter changes.

His junior disciple, unexpectedly, had secretly cultivated a technique that absorbed other people's internal energy. He wanted to absorb the internal energy of anyone whose power didn't clash with his own, in order to become stronger!

When his master and senior brother weren't looking, this younger disciple had secretly left the mountain and sought out martial artists in the world to absorb their inner strength. His inner strength thus increased greatly in a short period of time.

I don't know what he went through during those secret days down the mountain, that it would make him so unsatisfied. Even absorbing the internal energy of ordinary martial artists wasn't enough for him anymore.

So, in the end, he turned his attention to their master. He returned to the mountain and, taking advantage of the master's unpreparedness, actually absorbed their master's internal energy.

Most importantly, even their master didn't know what he was thinking. He could have pushed back, and with his master's power, he could have easily avoided being drawn into the opponent's inner energy. Yet, their master simply acquiesced and did nothing, silently enduring it all.

He didn't stop until he had absorbed three tenths of his master's internal energy.

As for why he absorbed only 30%, it was because his master's internal energy wasn't something an ordinary person's body could withstand. If he continued absorbing, he would be met with backlash.

So, it wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he knew that after absorbing three-tenths of his master's internal energy, he had reached his limit and couldn't take any more.

When he arrived, the master simply looked calmly at the two of them and announced that he was expelling that person from the sect, forbidding him to ever step foot on the mountaintop again.

That man didn't hesitate at all. The master hadn't made a move against him, which was already beyond his expectations. So when he learned that the master would still let him leave just like that, he didn't hesitate to go down the mountain.

Since then, the man truly never returned to his master's school, and his master did not allow him to go.

That peculiar gossip formation was created by the master. The master only cared about his formations and secret manuals in his lifetime.

Not long after that man went down the mountain, one day his master suddenly told him to be sure to remember a few things:

First, the Qingmen Gang is forbidden from accepting any new disciples. From now on, there will be no more Qingmen Gang in the world;

Secondly, that person possesses great skill. If in the future he commits cruel and bloody acts, harming countless people, I must personally eliminate him to protect my sect. However, if he does nothing harmful to the world, then no matter what he does, do not interfere. As Master said, this world owes him something.

After explaining those two matters, his master personally bestowed upon him three points of strength, for fear that he would truly clash with that man in the future and lose.

After imparting his skills, his master activated the destructive mode of the Bagua formation in the mountains and personally went inside to decipher it.

Before his master entered, he set him a deadline. If he couldn't get out within the time limit, it would mean... that even this array master hadn't been able to crack it.

He waited in the mountains for two full years, but his master still didn't appear. In the end, he used his master's clothes to make a burial mound and kept watch over it for three years before finally going down the mountain.

But after he came down the mountain, he couldn't find any trace of his junior brother no matter how hard he searched.

Not only that, but during that time period, there had been no missing person cases involving martial arts practitioners for quite some time.

Because of his younger brother's disappearance, he had been searching for him all these years. When he arrived at the capital of Tianba Kingdom, he happened to encounter the King of Beijang being led to Guangming Village.

The cat was controlled, and it still carried a familiar scent on it. He was sure, this was the scent he had been looking for all these years.

So he immediately followed after him.

He saw with his own eyes the King of Beijang and two of his trusted aides enter that familiar Bagua formation. He followed them in, but to avoid being noticed, he could only watch helplessly as the King and his men fell into a trap.

For that person didn't want the Northern Border King's life, when he took the Northern Border King away, he had a chance to help the two subordinates of the Northern Border King.

He didn't know what grudge that person had with the King of Beijang, nor why they would lure him here like this. So he secretly concealed his aura and followed along.

He wasn't a normal listener to begin with, so even from far away from that room, he could hear his conversation with the woman in bed.

I finally understand what the master meant by his last words, this world... truly owes him.

And between him and the King of Beijiang, there was indeed a deep hatred. And that woman... anyone could kill the two of them, except for the King and Queen of Beijiang!

This is also why he demanded that the Princess of Beijiang not kill that man and that woman.ee him making jokes even now, An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Then I have to worry about Lord Han even more. I also want to see how my lord will make you suffer."Han Yun smiled, "Your Highness, that's...
