As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Feng and Cao Yan’s expressions changed dramatically!

Cao Yan didn’t understand why Li Guanqi suddenly got angry.

Ye Feng, who knew Li Guanqi’s temper better, spoke in a grave tone.

“Boss, what’s going on?”

However, Li Guanqi remained silent, only taking out a jade token and a piece of torn clothing!

When Ye Feng saw the jade token and the clothing, his face changed drastically!!

The earth-yellow patterns on the white robe were clearly the robes of the Great Xia Sword Sect!!

And that jade token was unmistakably the identity jade token of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

“Heavenly Earth Peak… Zhao Yang!”

Li Guanqi closed his eyes tightly. He knew exactly who Zhao Yang was.

In the battle at Purple Sun Hall, the young man who charged ahead with a long sword was someone even he had to call Senior Brother Zhao.

He was also one of the disciples who had left the mountain gate with them this time.

A cultivator at the early peak of the Golden Elixir Realm…

Li Guanqi glanced back, then led the two of them towards a continuous mountain range.

Not long after they left, several streaks of light appeared near where they had stayed.

A middle-aged man, eyes filled with anger, radiated a fierce aura.

He roared, “Search for them!!”

“Find those guys for me!”

“Yes, Manor Lord!”

“At once! Search!!”

In their hands, they all held portraits of Ye Feng!

Soon, Li Guanqi found an abandoned cave, overgrown with weeds at the entrance.

Inside, it was dark and damp, with a foul smell permeating the air.

The three of them hid inside without hesitation, covering the entrance and sprinkling insect repellent and scent-masking powder.

Li Guanqi sat down, eyes closed, thoughts racing in his mind.

Then he opened his eyes and said to the two, “Tell me everything that happened before, don’t leave out any details.”

This time, it was Cao Yan who spoke. His mental strength was formidable, remembering every detail clearly.

Starting from when he left the stall, Cao Yan slowly recounted, remembering almost all the vendors and shops on both sides of the street.

After recounting everything, Li Guanqi suddenly murmured.

“Something’s off… This is definitely not a coincidence!”

“There must be something on us that they covet!”

Immediately, Li Guanqi took out a jade token and sent a message: “Master, please check on Senior Brother Zhao Yang from Heavenly Earth Peak… is he dead?”

Great Xia Sword Sect.

An old man, who was changing Yu Sui’an’s bandages, paused and quickly took out a jade token.

Li Guanqi’s voice came through the jade token.

Yu Sui’an perked up her ears to listen, her little face frowning at the end.

“Grandpa Li, is something wrong?”

“You go ahead, I can change the bandages myself.”

Li Nanting’s eyes narrowed, and he nodded, saying, “Alright, Sui’an, change the bandages yourself. Grandpa has to go out for a bit.”

Yu Sui’an waved her hand with a smile. After the old man left, she muttered, “Hmph, that lowly blind didn’t even ask me a word.”

The little girl, who had used a lot of effort to bandage herself, jumped off the bed and ran like the wind to the back mountain, picking many flowers.

She carried the flowers in a small basket on her back and ran down the mountain. Along the way, she met disciples from Heavenly Thunder Peak, who greeted her with smiles.

“Little Bun, going to the sect’s cemetery again?”

The little girl’s face was unusually serious. She stopped and bowed to the person.

“Sui’an greets Senior Brother Wan.”

Then she got up and ran off.

The disciple watched her leave and murmured, “She’s grown up, but she’s not as happy anymore.”

Yu Sui’an arrived at the sect’s cemetery, solemnly placing flowers on each new tombstone, hands clasped together, eyes closed, lost in thought.

She walked from one to another, and the more flowers she placed, the more she cried.

Because she understood that many of these deaths were because of her.

Though she was young, her little heart was filled with guilt.

Soon, Li Nanting replied in a deep voice, “Zhao Yang is not dead, but the spirit light of his life jade token is very weak!”

“Guanqi, what happened?”

Li Guanqi, putting down the jade token, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to worry his master without understanding the whole situation.

So he replied, “Master, it’s nothing. I’ll explain once I figure it out.”

“By the way, how’s the little girl doing lately?”

Hearing that Yu Sui’an’s injuries were almost healed, Li Guanqi felt relieved.

Ye Feng spoke gravely, “Since Senior Brother Zhao isn’t dead, why were the jade token and sect robe in Fang Hao’s hands?”

Li Guanqi pondered for a long time, frowning, “I don’t know, but it’s clear that their target is our Great Xia Sword Sect disciples, not just one person.”

Ye Feng questioned, “But that’s not right. I only revealed my identity when fighting that old man and my black robe was torn.”

“Before that, I never showed my identity! Wait… the sect’s identity jade token!!”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, thinking about why the other side was so fixated on the Great Xia Sword Sect disciples.

“Could it be someone from Purple Sun Hall?”

“No… If someone important from Changfeng Manor was in Purple Sun Hall, they wouldn’t spare Zhao Yang.”

“If they didn’t kill Zhao Yang, it means they aren’t blood enemies of the Great Xia Sword Sect.”

“Then what is it…”

Suddenly!!

Li Guanqi’s eyes snapped open, and he immediately took out the jade token to send a message: “Master! Investigate all the new disciples in the sect, especially those who have been taught the eleven-layer cultivation technique or know about it.”

“Check if any of them are from Changfeng Manor!”

“I suspect someone leaked the information!”

Li Nanting’s body trembled upon hearing this!!

The old man’s face turned unprecedentedly grave. If this was true…

If they couldn’t handle this and the news spread, the Great Xia Sword Sect would face utter destruction!!

The entire atmosphere of the Great Xia Sword Sect became extremely tense.

Lu Kangnian was also awakened from his seclusion and began a thorough investigation of all disciples.

An hour later.

Sure enough!!

Li Nanting’s voice came through the jade token, heavy and serious.

“Guanqi, you were right.”

“Among the new disciples, there is indeed one whose father is the younger brother of the Changfeng Manor Lord.”

“He somehow learned that the sect had obtained a very powerful cultivation technique.”

“Zhao Yang… was he captured?”

“Wait, the sect will send people over immediately!!”
