Chapter 53: The Alliance of Four Factions
"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"
"The Snow Mountain Sect is just ahead! After being away for so long, we can finally come back!"
Feng Wanli, along with Bai Wanjian and the others, rode at breakneck speed back from the Central Plains.
Beside him, Hua Wanzi smiled and said, "Missing your disciple, huh! I wonder how that kid is doing now? Is he practicing diligently?"
Bai Wanjian glanced at the two of them from the side.
"You all know how he performed in the sect before, don't you?"
Hua Wanzi knew that Bai Wanjian was praising Shi Zhongyu, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with happiness.
The group quickly returned to the Snow Mountain Sect.
The gatekeepers stepped forward to greet them and took the reins from their hands.
Feng Wanli and his group went up the mountain and headed straight for the Lingxiao Palace.
Bai Zizai, Granny Shi, and the others quickly learned of their return.
Bai Zizai arrived in Lingxiao City and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the travel-worn group.
"How did things go this time?"
When Feng Wanli and the others saw their master Bai Zizai, they all respectfully bowed.
Upon hearing their master's question, they all showed expressions of shame.
"Reporting to Master, we failed to retrieve the Xuan Tie Token..."
Bai Zizai frowned.
"waste!"
"You all went out together, and you couldn't even bring back a single piece of Xuan Iron Token!"
"What use are you all!"
Upon hearing the sound, Feng Wanli and the others immediately knelt down on the ground.
Bai Wanjian hurriedly began to explain.
It wasn't that they didn't take action, but that Xie Yanke personally intervened at the crucial moment and took the person away, which is why they didn't get the Xuan Tie Token.
Upon hearing the name Xie Yanke, Bai Zizai gave a haughty snort.
"Sooner or later, we'll show him the power of our Snow Mountain Sect!"
"Tell me, what else happened on your trip out into the world?"
Feng Wanli then began to recount what had happened to them.
It basically covers the situation of various forces in the Central Plains martial arts world.
Besides seizing the Xuan Tie Token, they also wanted to learn about other sects and forces.
Bai Zizai gave a soft "hmm," and after listening to the reports from the others, he left with the words, "Go back to your sect and practice your skills diligently," before turning and leaving.
Feng Wanli, Bai Wanjian, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hua Wanzi whispered, "Have you noticed that Master has changed? Before, when we went out and came back, Master would always test our martial arts skills!"
"Now that we're back, Master just left without a word?"
Bai Wanjian was also completely baffled.
Based on his understanding of his father, when his father said he was giving pointers on martial arts, it was more like he was showing off his own power.
Although Feng Wanli was also puzzled, he was genuinely happy about his master's change.
In the past, every time they were instructed in martial arts, they would be severely injured.
After whispering among themselves for a while, the group dispersed.
Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi went to the hut where Shi Zhongyu was, but when they arrived, they found that Shi Zhongyu was not there.
"This kid is indeed practicing martial arts!"
As Hua Wanzi spoke, she and Feng Wanli rushed to the valley where Shi Zhongyu was.
"That kid isn't here?"
Hua Wanzi was very surprised.
Feng Wanli frowned. According to the current time, Shi Zhongyu should be cultivating.
He immediately summoned his disciples to inquire.
The disciple being questioned looked blank and simply said that he hadn't seen Senior Brother Shi in a long time.
Feng Wanli waved for everyone to leave, then turned around and saw Junior Brother Du.
Before he could speak, Du Wanchuan said with a smile, "Senior Brother Feng, Junior Sister Hua, are you looking for nephew Shi Zhongyu?"
Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi exchanged a glance; Du Wanchuan's tone was very strange.
Shi Zhongyu slapped Du Wanchuan in the face, so why does Du Wanchuan seem to hate Shi Zhongyu at all?
Both of them felt a jolt of fear in their hearts as they thought about it.
Oh no, could it be that Shi Zhongyu has made some mistake and fallen into Master's hands?
Feng Wanli thought to himself, his tone somewhat urgent.
"Junior Brother Du, do you know where my unworthy disciple is?"
A bad scoundrel?
Du Wanchuan grinned when he heard those two words. Shi Zhongyu had earned the title of "Jade-Faced Yama" in the Western Regions, which made all the evil and heretical sects in the Western Regions unable to raise their heads.
If such a person is considered a bad disciple, he would want him too.
"Senior Brother Feng, you should go ask the city lord!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wanli and his junior sister exchanged a glance. After bowing to Du Wanchuan, they hurriedly headed towards the city lord's mansion.
Du Wanchuan watched the two figures walk away and sighed with relief, thinking that he was glad he hadn't offended Shi Zhongyu too much back then.
otherwise……
He didn't dare to think about it too deeply.
That Shi Zhongyu grew too fast, and his methods were too terrifying.
Others were unaware of Shi Zhongyu's situation, but he had been keeping a close eye on Shi Zhongyu's activities outside.
Because he needed to report to the city lord at any time.
When Feng Wanli and his companion arrived at the city lord's mansion, they paid their respects to their master, Bai Zizai.
After hearing the purpose of their visit, Bai Zizai glanced at Feng Wanli from head to toe and then suddenly said something.
"You are not as good as your disciple!"
Feng Wanli was taken aback, not understanding what his master meant.
Before Feng Wanli could speak, Bai Zizai relayed the information about Shi Zhongyu that Du Wanchuan had provided to Feng Wanli.
Feng Wanli was stunned after reading the intelligence in his hand.
Hua Wanzi, who was standing nearby, had seen it before. Worried about Shi Zhongyu's situation, she disregarded her master's presence and hurriedly snatched it over to take a quick look before Feng Wanli could finish reading.
She was stunned when she saw it too.
"Destroy the bandit stronghold, destroy the Blood Shadow Sect, annihilate the Blissful Evil Sect... Jade-Faced Yama!"
"How...how is this possible?"
Bai Zizai glanced at Hua Wanzi with displeasure upon hearing her words.
"He's my grand-disciple, what's impossible about him?"
Just as he said this, Hua Wanzi looked down at the intelligence report below.
She couldn't help but exclaim after she finished reading it.
"The leader of the Leaf Blade Alliance, the head of the Evil Fiend Hall, the master of Seven Fiend Ridge, and the leader of the Black Mountain Ghost Cave are preparing to join forces against Shi Zhongyu!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wanli hurriedly picked up the documents and examined them closely.
He couldn't sit still after reading it.
"No, I have to go help him!"
"Those individuals are all top-tier masters in the martial arts world; even I wouldn't be a match for them if they joined forces!"
He gripped his sword, ready to leave, and Hua Wanzi immediately followed behind him.
"stop!"
Bai Zizai called out to the two of them.
Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi immediately stopped.
Bai Zizai glanced at the two of them.
"This time I'm going out to give that kid some experience."
He paused slightly at this point.
Actually, he didn't expect Shi Zhongyu to cause such a big commotion.
He marked those map forces for Shi Zhongyu with a cross, but who would have thought that Shi Zhongyu would actually wipe out an entire sect by himself?
With the other four major forces joining forces and all their experts present, he was worried about Shi Zhongyu.
Seeing the anxious looks on Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi's faces, Bai Zizai waved his hand.
"Take on more disciples!"
"Don't let anyone underestimate the Snow Mountain Sect!"
Feng Wanli and Hua Wanzi were overjoyed and quickly thanked their master before heading out.
Meanwhile, in an inn in Blackstone Town, Shi Zhongyu frowned as he watched the large raindrops falling from the sky.
It's been raining for two days now, and it doesn't seem to be stopping at all.
