Western Xinyang.
Quan Guanqing was followed by a man and a woman as they arrived outside the Ma residence. Although Ma Dayuan was the former deputy leader of Beggar's Sect, Beggar's Sect was different from the ordinary gangs in Jianghu, so the Ma Family was slightly shabby. However, they only had three tile-roofed houses. Quan Guan went forward to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened and a woman dressed in plain clothes came out. It was Madam Ma.
Madam Ma looked at the two people behind Quan Guanqing. The man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, full of heroic spirit. The woman's skin was as white as snow, shining brightly. One could tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person. Madam Ma felt a little strange and bowed to Quan Guanqing,""I really didn't expect Branch Leader Quan to come to my humble abode. Please come in and serve tea.”This pair of man and woman were the two men in black beside Quan Guanqing. However, it was not appropriate to cover their faces at this time, so they changed their clothes and showed their true faces.
Quan Guanqing returned the greeting and was led into the house by Madam Ma. He said,"I have an urgent matter that I must inform sister-in-law. This matter is no small matter, and it concerns my life."”
As they spoke, the four of them sat down in the hall and an old maid served them tea. "I wonder what the important matter Leader Quan mentioned is?" Madam Ma asked.”
Quan Guanqing said," Madam, do you know that after Elder Xu's death, Duke Tan, Granny Tan, and Zhao Qiansun all died in Weihui City? The Iron Mask Judge Shan Zheng's family from Tai 'an, Shandong Province, was also killed a month ago. Dozens of people were killed, and the Shan residence was burned to the ground.”
Madam Ma was shocked and her expression changed."Could this be Qiao Feng's doing?”Everyone had previously suspected that Elder Xu was killed by Qiao Feng. At this moment, Madam Ma naturally thought of Qiao Feng.
"It's not that simple." Quan Guanqing shook his head. According to the reports from our spies, Dongfang Sheng's whereabouts were found nearby every time a murder happened.”
"Dongfang Sheng?" Madam Ma frowned. That sworn brother of Qiao Feng?"
"That's right," Quan Guanqing sighed. It was this person. I guess that the people who were killed knew the true identity of the leader. Now, the only people who know the inside story are the leader himself, Master Zhi Guang of Tiantai Mountain and his wife. Dongfang Sheng had arrived in Luoyang a few days ago, which was only a few days away from here. Therefore, I was afraid that Dongfang Sheng would come to harm me again, so I specially invited two friends from the Jianghu to protect my sister-in-law.”As he spoke, his right hand beckoned to the two people beside him.
Madam Ma stood up and bowed again. With tears in her eyes, she said,"Chapter Leader Quan is so loyal, I have to trouble the two of you to take care of me. Ever since my late husband met with misfortune, my life in this world was superfluous. If someone wanted to harm me, I would be more than happy to do so.”
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law?" Quan Guanqing asked. Vice Gang Leader Ma had yet to take revenge, and the culprit was still at large. His wife and sister-in-law must not have the thought of committing suicide.”
Mrs. Ma gave another blessing, and Quan Guanqing said,""I wonder where the memorial tablet of Vice Sect Leader Ma is.”
"I dare not." Madam Ma said. He led Quan Guanqing to the back hall. However, the man and woman were sitting in their seats and had no intention of getting up.
After the two of them walked out of the hall, the woman said,"This woman is quite pitiful. She only has an old maid at home and is lonely and helpless.”
The man couldn't help but laugh coldly." Junior Sister has been deceived by her. This woman is really powerful. If I hadn't heard it from Leader Quan, I wouldn't have thought that she would actually…"
"How is it?" asked the woman. The man's expression was a little unnatural as he said,""It's all dirty business. Don't dirty junior sister's ears.”
At this time, Quan Guanqing finished offering incense to Ma Dayuan's memorial tablet and said to Madam Ma,""My two friends and I will stay here for a few days to protect sister-in-law. It's just that I heard another secret a few days ago.”
Mrs. Ma only gave a faint hum, a little indifferent. He didn't seem to care.
Quan Guanqing stared at Madam Ma and said,""When I met Elder Xu that day, he told me about something. He said that he knew the real murderer who killed Vice Sect Leader Ma. He said that the one who killed Vice Sect Leader Ma was neither Qiao Feng nor Gusu Murong…"
Suddenly, there was a clang. Madam Ma unconsciously broke a teacup. She could not help but exclaim and ask in a trembling voice,"He…Elder Xu, did he say who the real murderer was?”
Quan Guanqing shook his head and sighed." That day, Elder Xu said that he wanted to find an opportunity to announce this matter to the entire sect. However, in just a few days, he was killed. He had no way of knowing the name of the murderer.”As she spoke, she secretly observed Madam Ma's expression.
Madam Ma heaved a sigh of relief."What a pity." But he did not say anything else. Quan Guanqing had seen the change in his expression. Quan Guanqing couldn't help but laugh in his heart.”
The three of them stayed in the Ma Clan's guest room. That night, the three of them discussed in the room.
"Chapter Leader Quan, tell me your plan now."”
"Two Emissaries," said Quan Guanqing. I've already contacted my brothers in the sect and planted hundreds of hidden stakes around Ma tribe. As long as Dongfang Sheng appears near them, someone will immediately send out a signal. Now, I still have to trouble you to take action and end that woman Kang Min…"
The woman at the side gasped and questioned sternly,"You actually want to kill her? She's a widow who doesn't even have the strength to tie up a chicken, and you still want to teach Brother Master how to fight. What is your intention?"
"Junior Sister, be quiet. We'll listen to Leader Quan." Brother Master gestured for Quan Guanqing to continue.
Quan Guanqing said," Now that the woman is dead, we should leave the Ma Family. When Dongfang Sheng enters this house, hundreds of Beggar's Sect disciples will surround this place." With all the witnesses present, Dongfang Sheng might not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. My palm strength is insufficient. If I were the one to kill Kang Min, it wouldn't look like Dongfang Sheng's doing from the looks of my injuries. It just so happened that the Venerable One's palm power was strong. If it could break her bones, it would make people believe that it was Dongfang Sheng's doing.”
" My palm strength is far inferior to Dongfang Sheng's," the Great Master sighed." But Madam Ma doesn't know martial arts. I can still manage it." Chapter Leader Quan's plan to shift the blame was simple, but it was extremely practical and admirable.”
Quan Guanqing quickly gave way humbly, leaving only the woman beside him with a disdainful expression.
These three people came from Luoyang to the Ma family. They took the official road and rode fast horses. Naturally, they arrived at Xinyang before Dongfang Sheng and Zi. At this moment, Dongfang Sheng was hurrying through the forest while training Zi's lightness skill.
Zi was from Xingxiu Sect, so her lightness skills were not bad. But in Dongfang Sheng's eyes, it was not worth mentioning. At first, Zi could barely keep up with Dongfang Sheng's speed, but gradually, her internal energy ran out. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she could no longer lift them. She sat down on the ground and shouted,"Big Brother Master, I'm so tired."
Dongfang Sheng stopped in his tracks and smiled." The little girl has just run this far, and she can't take it anymore?" Just now, who was the one who boasted shamelessly that he could run fifty miles in one go?”
Zi panted." Master, Big Brother walked too fast. He also asked me to raise my Qi and lighten my body while adjusting my breath and circulating my Qi. How is that possible?"”
Dongfang Sheng laughed. He had learned of this method from Xiao Yuanshan and felt that it made sense. His Lightness Skill and inner force had already reached the great success stage, so this method was not of much use to him. However, Zi could use it to increase her cultivation.
"I don't know how you came up with such a strange way to torture people, Big Brother Master," complained Zi.”Although she said so, she still did as Dongfang Sheng said. She had long become blindly superstitious about Dongfang Sheng's martial arts.
" I didn't come up with this idea," Dongfang Sheng said." I learned it from a senior."”
"Oh?" Zi asked. How was that person's martial arts? How is he compared to Big Brother?"
Dongfang Sheng shook his head and sighed." Back then, when I first met that senior, I was only able to block more than 30 moves before I was seriously injured. In the end, I was even thrown off the cliff. I almost lost my life."”
Zi opened her mouth wide in disbelief.""Even with master and big brother's martial arts, he actually risked his life? Then this person must be invincible?”
" That senior is far from invincible," Dongfang Sheng said with a smile."”As he spoke, he thought of the nameless old monk from Shaolin Temple and sighed in his heart. The Left Light Emissary of Ming Cult whom he met last time was not inferior to Xiao Yuanshan in martial arts. The strength of the Ming Cult Master must be unfathomable. In addition, there were the three grandmasters of the Carefree Sect and Xiao Yuanshan's master. There were really many experts in this world. Thinking about it, he could barely be considered a first-class expert at most. He then said to Zi," Zi, you must know that there's always someone better than you. The world is big, and there are many experts. Don't be so self-righteous. In the path of martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat. There is no end to it. I am only a little further than you.”
Zi couldn't help but stick out her tongue. However, thinking that there was still hope for her to catch up with Dongfang Sheng one day, she was excited. She stood up and adjusted her breathing."Then, big brother master, let's compete again.”
"That's right." Dongfang Sheng smiled."If this continues, the little girl will definitely achieve something in the future."”As he spoke, he patted Zi's shoulder and sent a stream of pure Genuine Qi over." It's just that your Genuine Qi has been consumed too much. You can't be too hasty. Haste makes waste."”
The two of them continued to pass through the forest and rushed to Xinyang. However, they did not expect that the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Someone from Xinyang's Ma family had already set a trap for the two of them.
