Under the orders of Bai Qiufeng, several enforcement disciples dragged the pleading Li Mingqiao away, and throughout the entire process, no one voiced any objections.
After all, they had caught him red-handed. Bai Qiufeng was currently furious, and even if someone had a good relationship with Li Mingqiao, they would not risk their own safety to plead for him at this moment.
The two physicians who accompanied Bai Qiufeng to examine the poison looked somewhat anxious. Regardless, Bai Qiufeng was also a physician from their Heavenly Medicine Hall, and they worried that Li Mingqiao's incident might implicate them.
Bai Qiufeng coldly surveyed the room and paused his gaze on Ye Mo for a moment before speaking in a low voice to the others: "This matter is known only to those present. For the reputation of my Dragon Tiger Sect, I ask everyone to keep it confidential!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and only then did Bai Qiufeng's expression soften slightly as he exited the Heavenly Medicine Hall.
All present, including Ye Mo, let out a sigh of relief. They could all see that Sect Master Bai Qiufeng was extremely agitated due to the Li Family incident.
"Brother Ye, thankfully you're okay; otherwise, both Blue Shadow and I would be in serious trouble!" Zhang Yihang said after everyone had left, recovering from his earlier panic as he approached Ye Mo with lingering fear.
Blue Shadow shot Zhang Yihang an annoyed glance and complained, "Look at you! You didn't even try to defend yourself. If it weren't for Brother Ye stepping in to help us out, we would have been thrown into prison!"
Zhang Yihang felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Bai Qiufeng was the leader of Dragon Tiger Sect; even a single glance from him was something an Outer Sect Disciple like him couldn't withstand.
"Alright, this isn't Zhang Yihang's fault. Don't say that about him. If Sect Master Bai were angry with me, I would probably be too scared to speak!" Ye Feng quickly intervened to ease the tension between the two.
"Exactly! Being able to avenge Brother Han Chong is enough. It's a pity that if I had known that scoundrel Li Mingqiao would do such a thing, I definitely wouldn't have left Brother Han Chong alone here!" Zhang Yihang said through gritted teeth.
At this point, there was nothing more to say; Han Chong could not be brought back. The three of them had a close relationship and often trained and completed missions together. Ye Mo had only joined their group later on, so he didn't share the same deep bond as Zhang Yihang and the others.
"We still have to thank Junior Brother Yuan for his help. If it weren't for him, we might not have discovered Li Mingqiao's issue in time," Ye Mo said with a sigh to Yuan Chaozhi beside him as he noticed the two were still feeling down.
Yuan Chaozhi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "You don't need to be polite, Senior Brothers. If it weren't for you all, I might have been framed by that scoundrel Li Mingqiao as well. If I were burdened with two lives on my conscience, Sect Master would definitely not let me off!"
After some pleasantries among the four of them, Ye Mo, Zhang Yihang, and Blue Shadow took their leave from the Heavenly Medicine Hall. The three discussed how to handle Han Chong's aftermath and sent a letter home to his family.
After completing all this, Ye Mo left alone; the grievances between Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow were something they needed to resolve themselves—he couldn't interfere.
Ye Mo returned to his Stone House and continued meditating and training.
At the same time, at the summit of Mount Luoshen, there stood a grand palace-like structure, located at the very top of the Dragon Tiger Sect's Summit.
This was the Master's Palace of Bai Qiufeng, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Outside the Master's Palace, there were countless guards, both visible and hidden. They were all elite Inner Sect Disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, responsible for safeguarding the Master's Palace.
All the guarding disciples were focused, their muscles tense, standing like statues in the cold wind at the mountain peak.
These disciples, at the sixth and seventh levels of Origin Martial Realm, were extremely loyal to the Sect. At a single command from their leader, they would jump into a Mountain of Blades and Sea of Flames without hesitation.
With them on watch, even a mosquito crawling by would be easily detected.
Yet, a white figure swept past these guarding disciples like a gust of wind, unnoticed by anyone.
The white figure moved like lightning and swiftly entered through an open window of the Master's Palace.
Bai Qiufeng, sitting inside, had sensed his presence as soon as the white figure appeared. However, he merely furrowed his brow slightly before closing his eyes again to rest.
"I told you long ago that having so many disciples guarding nearby is useless. If someone really wanted to deal with you, they would at least be at Gangwu Realm. Do you think these guarding disciples are useful?" As soon as the white figure reached Bai Qiufeng's front, he stroked his long beard with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! Do you think this is just any place? How many Gangwu Realm experts are there in Northern Jin Kingdom? And you—being the Hall Master of Blazing Hall—spend your days doing nothing. Instead of using the main entrance, you insist on climbing in through a window. Truly ridiculous!" Bai Qiufeng replied irritably to the white figure before him.
It turned out that the one who had stealthily entered the Master's Palace under cover of night was none other than Bai Qiufeng's younger brother, Bai Chengfeng. Now, they were the last two heirs of the Bai Family.
"Hey, why are you so angry today? Wasn't it you who instructed me to come in through the window? Now you're actually blaming me?" Bai Chengfeng said with a strange expression.
"Hmph! I don't want to waste time arguing with you. Just tell me what you want. The situation in Blazing Hall isn't good lately; we are at a disadvantage in competitions against the other two branches. Are you planning to let Blazing Hall be suppressed by Azure Dragon and White Tiger branches indefinitely? If it weren't for your incompetence as my brother, our Bai Family wouldn't have fallen to this point and allowed Li Family and Jiang Clan to take away most of Dragon Tiger Hall's territory!" Bai Qiufeng said with an unfriendly expression.
"What's wrong? Did you suffer a setback from them?" Bai Chengfeng replied with a playful grin, not taking it seriously. "So what if they are strong? The foundation of Dragon Tiger Sect is in our Bai Family's hands. After all, we are just using them. Let them be arrogant for a while; what does it matter? By the way, have you seen my disciple today? Isn't he much more impressive than you expected?"
Bai Qiufeng did not respond directly to Bai Chengfeng's question but instead walked to the window and gazed at the moonlight outside while murmuring, "It's strange; this young man's cultivation has reached Yuanwu Ninth Level in such a short time. If I remember correctly, when he returned to the family, he hadn't even reached Origin Martial Realm!"
Bai Chengfeng, feeling quite pleased, said, "Hmph, if it comes to managing the Sect, I admit I am not as capable as you. However, when it comes to discerning people, you are far behind me. Li Xingqi and Jiang Shiji were both heavily nurtured by you as Sect Disciples. Look at what happened; they took advantage of the situation to expand their own power within the Sect and now even threaten your position. If they weren't worried about our Bai Family's foundation in Dragon Tiger Sect, they would have likely joined forces to usurp you by now!"
"Usurp? What a joke! These two families are merely pretending to be united; neither of them truly submits to the other. My initial support for them, allowing them to place family disciples in the Sect for training, was merely a strategy to deal with the pressure from Fengyu Holy Institute. We cannot let the legacy passed down from our ancestors be taken away by Fengyu Holy Institute. Otherwise, do you think I, Bai Qiufeng, would be foolish enough to invite trouble into my home?" The Sect Leader Bai Qiufeng said angrily.
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to argue with you. In any case, I may not be as good as you at managing the Sect; otherwise, our ancestor wouldn't have entrusted this position to you and let me assist you in secret. Over the years, I have also sent many capable disciples your way for key positions in the Sect. Otherwise, you would have long been sidelined by the Jiang Family and Li Family. By the way, has the Li Family approached you regarding Li Mingqiao?" Bai Chengfeng asked with some surprise.
He had learned early on about what happened at Heavenly Medicine Hall and couldn't help but silently commend his disciple Ye Feng for his actions. A significant part of his visit to Master's Palace was to seek some benefits for this disciple.
"No, it seems that the Li Family is unwilling to acknowledge this matter at all. Are you sure Li Mingqiao is from the Li Family?" Bai Qiufeng frowned slightly. Could it be that the Li Family truly intended to abandon Li Mingqiao like a discarded pawn?
"I'm not entirely sure whether Li Mingqiao is from the Li Family or not. With Li Fengyun killed by Ye Feng, as Li Fengyun's father, Li Xingqi will certainly not let this go easily. It seems my Precious Disciple really knows how to stir up trouble. However, at this point, whether it's a blessing or a curse for our Bai Family is uncertain. If Li Mingqiao wasn't acting on behalf of the Li Family, he wouldn't have dared to attack a Sect Disciple at Heavenly Medicine Hall. Now that Li Mingqiao has been exposed as a hidden piece of the Li Family within Heavenly Medicine Hall, the Li Family will definitely not risk being caught over a family member who has become useless!" Bai Chengfeng sighed, realizing that relying on Li Mingqiao to bring down the Li Family was indeed too difficult.
"Let's set this matter aside for now. Speaking of which, your insight is indeed impressive; that Outer Sect Disciple named Ye Feng managed to deceive even me. I wonder what peculiar Supreme Technique he has cultivated that allows him to conceal his aura so effectively!"
As a master of Gangwu Realm, Bai Qiufeng's ability to sense a warrior's aura far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even the most skilled techniques for hiding one's aura would be ineffective before a Gangwu Realm warrior. He was surprised that Ye Feng had successfully evaded his detection.
"It must be some family heirloom Supreme Technique; we shouldn't inquire further about it. It is said that Ye Feng's family is just a small clan in a remote town. This time he returned not only with greatly improved cultivation but also eliminated all other families in that remote town, allowing the already declining Ye Family to rise again strongly. However, they have offended Prince Ning of Wudu City!"
