Chapter 243: Sticks out suddenly launches an attack
As cultivators from several sects gathered at the entrance of the Liu Family's mountain gate, Ruan Dadao from the Golden Blade Sect was busy recovering from his injuries. After Hong Feng escaped from Liu Dajin's grasp, he fled in the direction of the Golden Blade Sect, without daring to stop even for a moment, nor sparing a glance backward.
After bidding farewell to Hong Feng and Hong Wei, Ruan Dadao couldn't calm his restless mind due to their threats. He left the flying boat and wandered outside to clear his thoughts. After strolling for quite some time, Ruan Dadao was about to return when he noticed a figure flying towards him from a distance.
Seeing Ruan Dadao ahead, Hong Feng felt relieved and could no longer suppress his injuries. He stumbled before Ruan Dadao, spewing mouthfuls of blood.
As a temporary ally, Ruan Dadao felt that he could trust Hong Feng and asked, "What happened to you?"The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Hong Feng sat cross-legged, took out some pills from his storage bag, swallowed them, and meditated for a while to barely stabilize his injuries. Once his condition had stabilized, he sighed and began recounting the events to Ruan Dadao.
Upon hearing Hong Feng's account, Ruan Dadao was speechless. The Hong brothers had encountered an incredibly unfortunate situation, unexpectedly being entangled in someone else's grudges, which had brought them great danger.
Glancing nervously behind him, Hong Feng said, "It seems that the lunatic has gone to chase after Meng Zhang of the Taiyi Sect. He didn't follow me."
"Old Brother Ruan, I need your help with something. I can't travel far now, and I hope to hide among the ranks of your Golden Blade Sect for a few days."
"No problem, you can rest assured. My Golden Blade Sect is absolutely safe, and no one dares to cause trouble here."
Ruan Dadao readily agreed to Hong Feng's request, but secretly, he had sinister intentions. As he saw Hong Feng's severe injuries were genuine, Ruan Dadao finally made up his mind. Pretending to assist Hong Feng to stand up, he silently unleashed a golden blade qi, attempting to kill him.
Hong Feng was utterly caught off guard. How could a mere cultivator from a Foundation Building sect dare to secretly attack a disciple of the formidable Yellow Lotus Sect, which was a large Primordial Spirit sect? Previously, when Yellow Lotus Sect disciples infiltrated the Endless Sea of Sand, they were usually just expelled by the Flying Swan Sect unless they had crossed the Flying Swan Sect's bottom line.
Within the Liu Family mountain gate, there was a long silence before the voice of Liu Family's patriarch, Liu Dahai, reluctantly spoke, "Guang HongDaoist, I can assure you that Liu Dajin's actions were entirely his own doing and have nothing to do with Liu Family. No one within the family knew about it. Will you believe me?"
"Whether I believe it or not, you must come out and explain to everyone," Guang HongDaoist said angrily.
"I trust you, Guang HongDaoist, but the people around you have deep enmity with Liu Family. If I were to open the mountain gate's great formation, I'm afraid these people won't be courteous," Liu Dahai firmly replied, "Personal life and death are trivial matters, but the survival of the family is crucial. Forgive me, but I can't place the fate of the family in the hands of certain individuals who claim to be benevolent."
No matter how Guang HongDaoist tried to persuade him, Liu Dahai refused to open the protective formation or come out. Eventually, Liu Dahai ceased explaining and remained silent.
Meng Zhang, who had grown impatient, spoke up eagerly, "I've said it before; while we were dealing with the sand monsters, Liu Family launched a sneak attack from behind. Their actions are unforgivable and make them enemies of the Human Clan and the Cultivation World. In my opinion, our sects should join forces to break through the Liu Family mountain gate and completely eradicate this scourge, bringing a bright future to the Cultivation World."
Hearing Meng Zhang's words, Guang HongDaoist pondered for a long time before resolutely stating, "No, Liu Family is a vassal of Flying Swan Sect, and we cannot act rashly."
Though Forest Spring Watch had reconciled with Flying Swan Sect, the relationship between the two was still delicate, with both sides cautiously testing each other.
At this moment, if Forest Spring Watch were to act against Liu Family without authorization, it might lead to misunderstandings from Flying Swan Sect.
Using a secret method, Guang HongDaoist contacted Sect Master Guang HuiDaoist and relayed all the information to him. Then, the group kept watch over Liu Family's mountain gate while patiently waiting.
Meng Zhang was dissatisfied with Guang HongDaoist's weakness, but he knew he couldn't change his decision. Meng Zhang flew to the side and began examining the artifacts on Liu Dajin's body along with Deep EarthSpirit General.
