Dongfang Sheng looked back at the Ma family's residence and shook his head. Killing Kang Min should be the first time he killed someone in this world. Although this was the first time he had taken someone's life, Dongfang Sheng did not feel anything out of the ordinary. It was not like what was written in some books, where he would have the urge to vomit. Instead, he was even a little indifferent.
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but doubt himself. Was he born a cold-blooded and heartless person? The answer made him shudder. Then, he comforted himself that it was because Madam Ma had done many evil things and was ruthless, but he felt that she lacked some persuasiveness. In the end, he could only attribute the reason to the fact that he still had a strong sense of unreality towards this world and had not completely integrated into it.
Just as Dongfang Sheng was lost in his thoughts, Zi interrupted him."Master, big brother, what are you waiting for? If they didn't leave quickly, it would be bad if they were seen.”
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but find it funny when he heard that. He had barged into the Ma Family at night and destroyed the Beggar's Sect's Dog Beating Stick Formation. At least hundreds of Beggar's Sect disciples had seen it with their own eyes. No matter how fast he walked now, it was futile. Beggar's Sect will know about this sooner or later. At that time, it was inevitable that they would become enemies with Beggar's Sect. They might even become the public enemy of the martial arts world like Qiao Feng did in the past. Although Dongfang Sheng did not care about Beggar's Sect, this was no different from falling into Quan Guanqing's trap. He could not accept this. However, Dongfang Sheng had already made up his mind.
"Zi, go to the inn and rest first," Dongfang Sheng said to Zi. I still have an important matter to attend to.”
Zi was a little unhappy when she heard that." Master, Big Brother wants to do things alone again…but he doesn't even let anyone watch."”
"Unless your lightness skill can allow you to reach Luoyang in a single night." Dongfang Sheng shook his head and smiled.”
Zi stuck out her tongue and snorted,""If you don't want to go, then don't go.”As he spoke, he skipped in the direction of Suncreed City. Dongfang Sheng, on the other hand, used his movement technique and floated away in the dark night.
On the official road of Luoyang, a white figure sped along the road in the darkness. Naturally, it was Dongfang Sheng. Ever since he had mastered his cultivation, he had never used his qinggong to travel with such full force. The distance between Luoyang and Xinyang was hundreds of miles. Dongfang Sheng did not know if he could support such a long distance. However, after running for a hundred miles, Dongfang Sheng realized that the flow of Genuine Qi in his body seemed to be endless. The first breath had not disappeared, but it was naturally reconnected. Gradually, he did not even need to breathe through his mouth and nose. Dongfang Sheng was surprised,'Is this the so-called' Embryonic Breath'?”He couldn't help but be secretly happy. The Embryonic Breathing was the first step for one's Internal Strength to enter the Connate Realm from the Acquired Realm. In fact, when Dongfang Sheng fell off the cliff and mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he had already taken one foot into the Connate Realm. Now that he had run for hundreds of miles, his Internal Strength had circulated rapidly, so he naturally activated the Embryonic Breathing in his body and truly entered the Connate Realm. When one's internal strength reached the Xiantian realm, it didn't mean that it would be much better than before. However, his control of zhenqi and the expansion of his five senses had reached a higher level.
As the sky gradually turned white, Dongfang Sheng finally saw the walls of Luoyang. At this moment, the city gates of Luoyang had yet to open. Outside the city gates, there were a few merchants and farmers waiting to enter the city. After a night of traveling, Dongfang Sheng did not feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, he felt energetic and relaxed.
Dongfang Sheng did not need to wait for the city gate to open. He found a section of the city wall that was slightly further away from the city gate and climbed up. With Dongfang Sheng's current spiritual senses, it was easy for him to avoid the guards guarding the city.
Beggar's Sect.
Last night, the leaders of Beggar's Sect with seven bags and above discussed how to deal with Qiao Feng and Dongfang Sheng again. However, they were still unable to reach a consensus within the sect. Ever since the battle at Juxian Village, Qiao Feng had disappeared without a trace. Dongfang Sheng's recent whereabouts were suspicious and he was involved in several bloody cases in the martial arts world. However, there was no evidence to prove that he was the murderer. Therefore, the sect was divided into two factions on whether or not to gather forces to encircle and suppress the two of them.
Although Qiao Feng was a Khitan Hu, he had made great contributions to the sect and was still highly respected in the sect. In addition to the Wulin invitation from Shaolin the day before yesterday, which helped Qiao Feng clarify the matter of Xuan Ku's murder, many people in the Beggar's Sect thought that Qiao Feng was framed. The rest of the people believed that Hu and Han could not coexist, and that Qiao Feng had killed Elder Xi and many martial arts heroes in Juxian Village, so they insisted that Qiao Feng pay with his blood. Both sides were arguing.
Although Dongfang Sheng was a suspect, he was different from Qiao Feng. Without the ethnic conflicts, the people in Beggar's Sect were unclear and hesitant about Dongfang Sheng's matter. First, there was no evidence to prove it, and second, there was no righteousness to back it up. Even though Beggar's Sect suspected that Gusu Murong had killed Ma Dayuan, they could not directly attack Swallow Dock. Beggar's Sect was the largest sect in the game, so they naturally had to be reasonable when doing things. Moreover, Quan Guanqing was the one who had been behind Dongfang Sheng's back. Now that Quan Guanqing wasn't around, no one would step forward to challenge him. Quan Guanqing's actions in Ma tribe had never been told to anyone.
After a night of this, other than arguing, there was no real progress. The four elders of the sect also had a headache. Now, the position of the Sect Leader of Beggar's Sect was vacant. The most senior Elder Xu had passed away. The Deputy Sect Leader Ma Dayuan had died tragically. The Elder of Merit Transferring had died in Qiao Feng's hands. Bai Shijing, as the Law Enforcement Elder, was the top person in Beggar's Sect. Bai Shijing rubbed his forehead as the sky gradually brightened. He looked around and said,"It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Everyone is tired, so why don't we put it aside for the time being? There were still many matters that needed to be dealt with in the sect. Everyone, go back and rest."
The four great elders saw that the matter could not be decided and shook their heads, but they stood up helplessly and left the hall. Everyone dispersed. Bai Shijing smiled bitterly and thought to himself, If Qiao Feng was here, even if it was a big matter, it would have been decided long ago. Without Qiao Feng, Beggar's Sect was already a pile of loose sand. Although he had the highest position, his prestige was incomparable. As her thoughts ran wild, she walked back to her room.
Bai Shijing pushed open the door and was about to walk to the bed when he suddenly turned around. He saw a white-robed youth sitting in front of a table in the room, leisurely playing with a jade lion on the table. Who else could it be but Dongfang Sheng? Bai Shijing was shocked, but he did not call out. He had already witnessed Dongfang Sheng's martial arts. He had defeated three senior experts with one move. He had no doubt that the other party could restrain him before he called for help. Thinking that it was useless to resist, Bai Shijing calmed himself down and sat down opposite Dongfang Sheng. He shook his head and sighed." Young Master Dongfang is really good at martial arts. It's as if you've entered a no-man's land in the Beggar's Sect's headquarters."”
"Elder Bai, you flatter me. I don't deserve it." Dongfang Sheng smiled.”
Bai Shijing stared at Dongfang Sheng and said,""Young Master Dongfang, what brings you here? Everyone in Beggar's Sect suspects that you killed Elder Xu and views you as an enemy.”
Dongfang Sheng shook his head." I didn't kill Elder Xu. Justice is in the hearts of the people. What do I have to fear?"”Pausing for a moment, his eyes revealed a trace of cold light as he said,"Even if your sect doesn't distinguish right from wrong and insists on making things difficult for me, it's just a repeat of the scene at Juxian Village.”
Bai Shijing's face turned cold when he heard that.""Young Master Dongfang, did you come here to threaten our Beggar's Sect? Humph. Although your martial arts skills are high, the hundreds of thousands of Beggar's Sect disciples are united. We'll have to see how capable you are.”
"Elder Bai, you've misunderstood." Dongfang Sheng shook his index finger. I'm only here to tell Elder Bai some good news.”
Bai Shijing was slightly stunned and frowned.""I wonder what news it is."
Dongfang Sheng stared into Bai Shijing's eyes and said word by word,""The first piece of good news is that Madam Ma, Kang Min, has passed away last night.”
Bai Shijing was shocked when he heard that. He looked at Dongfang Sheng in disbelief."Could it be…you?"
Dongfang Sheng smiled brightly.""That's right. It was indeed I who killed her."
" You killed Deputy Sect Leader Ma's widow," Bai Shijing said coldly." And you're telling me this? What good news is this?" Could it be that you're bullying us because there's no one in Beggar's Sect? With this matter, Beggar's Sect will form an irreconcilable feud with you.”As he spoke, he suddenly stood up.
Dongfang Sheng also stood up and laughed,""Elder Bai, the two of us are straightforward people. With Madam Ma dead, wouldn't Elder Bai no longer be under her control? The matter of killing Deputy Gang Leader Ma Dayuan was buried and no one knew about it. In that case, wasn't it good news?”
Bai Shijing's face suddenly turned ashen and he sat down dejectedly. He didn't expect that the other party would know about his plot against Ma Dayuan. For a moment, his heart was in a mess. Dongfang Sheng's martial arts were ten times stronger than his, so he could not silence him. If he spread this matter, his reputation would be ruined. Not only would he lose his life, but he would also be despised by the people of the martial arts world after he died. At the thought of this, cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and his hands and feet trembled. He opened his mouth but could not speak.
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but snicker in his heart when he saw his indifferent expression. He walked over and patted Bai Shijing's shoulder.""Elder Bai, don't be anxious. I still have good news for you.”
Bai Shijing could only stare blankly at Dongfang Sheng. His heart was in a daze.
