"However, the four elders are renowned experts. They shouldn't be joining forces against a junior. Are you mistaken?"
"Your Excellency, I'm not mistaken. Even the four elders working together couldn't defeat that scholar. Like Elder Quan, they were crippled in martial arts. Later, Master Xuannan and Master Xuanji from Shaolin passed by and, seeing the scholar's domineering behavior, went to reason with him, and the two of them started fighting..."
"Wait! What did you just say about the four elders?"
You Ji suddenly shuddered.
The steward said with a wry smile, "Master, of the four elders, Chen, Wu, Song, and Xi, three are seriously injured and have lost all their martial arts skills. Only Elder Wu Changfeng is in a better condition."
The brothers You Ji and You Ju gasped in surprise and asked in unison, "Qiao Feng is here?"
The butler quickly shook his head.
Youju said in a deep voice, "What powerful experts! Brother, those four elders are not easy to deal with, let alone when the four of them joined forces, they actually managed to cripple his martial arts with three of them."
You Ji nodded, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "How domineering!"
Then he asked, "You just said that Master Xuannan also fought with that scholar? What happened?"
The steward replied with a look of fear, "The two masters were no match for him. After being captured by that scholar, he hit them on the head with his staff, just like a senior monk in a temple striking a wooden fish. They lost all face."
"Later, Tan Gong and Tan Po and Zhao Qiansun arrived and helped the master get out of trouble."
You Ji broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and asked, "The two masters' martial arts are superior to the four elders. In addition, with the three seniors, Tan Gong and Tan Po, and Zhao Qiansun, they should be able to defeat them."
The steward replied with a mournful face, "The two masters and the three seniors have all had their martial arts crippled by that scholar!"
Another example of useless martial arts!
Where did these demonic cultivators come from, acting so rampantly?
The two You brothers felt their hands and feet go cold and their whole bodies trembled upon hearing this.
None of the martial arts masters they invited to the conference stepped into the gates of Juxian Manor. They were all crippled outside the manor. If this got out, it would become a laughing stock in the martial arts world for decades to come!
Youju was stunned for a moment, then suddenly, as if grasping at a straw, he asked, "Where are Master Shan and his son?"
The steward shook his head and said, "Master Shan Zheng didn't actually fight that scholar..."
Shan Zheng, known in the martial arts world as the "Iron-Faced Judge," was the key figure who exposed Qiao Feng's Khitan identity in Xingzilin last time.
His five sons were also known as the Five Tigers of the Shan Family.
Yuju breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. At least the Shan family is alright."
"Something's happened!" the steward explained, his voice trembling with tears. "Although Master Shan didn't fight with the scholar, several of his sons did fight with the young maidservants around the scholar, and their martial arts were also crippled."
"In his grief and indignation, Master Shan vomited blood and fainted."
You Ji closed his eyes, on the verge of tears. Now look what's happened! What a load of crap, the Heroes' Gathering was ruined.
Seeing the steward stammering, as if he still had something to say, Youju's heart sank. He snapped, "Spit it out! What's there to be afraid of now?!"
The butler whispered nervously, "When Master Tan and Granny Tan were fighting with the scholar, a hidden weapon accidentally hit Doctor Xue, who was watching from the sidelines..."
You Ji suddenly opened his eyes, glaring angrily, "What happened to Doctor Xue?!"
The butler didn't dare to breathe and continued in a low voice, "Dr. Xue died on the spot..."
You Ji's face was ashen. The reason why this gathering of heroes could be held was not only due to the influence of the You brothers, but also largely due to Xue Muhua's reputation as "the enemy of the King of Hell".
As the saying goes, when you're in the martial arts world, you're bound to get hurt. No matter what level of expert you are, if you suffer a serious injury, you'll have to seek out Master Xue to save your life.
But now?
oh~~~
The enemy of Yama has met the real Yama.
Juxian Manor certainly bears responsibility for Xue Muhua's death.
In the future, the You brothers will become the target of criticism and condemnation from many martial arts practitioners. Those people will not care about right or wrong; they just need an outlet for their anger.
Thinking of this, You Ji felt numbness in his hands and feet, his whole body turned ice cold, and his blood rushed to his head.
puff!
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, You Ji's vision went black, and he immediately fainted.
"Big Brother!!!"
Youju sadly helped Youji, who had fallen into a coma.
After a while.
Qiao Feng brought A'Zhu, whom he had accidentally injured at Shaoshi Mountain, to Juxian Manor. He came here to find Doctor Xue to save A'Zhu's life.
Qiao Feng knew that a gathering of heroes was being held here, and that the purpose was to deal with him. However, in order to save A'Zhu, he could not care about anything else and could only knowingly walk into the tiger's den.
With A'Zhu by his side, Qiao Feng went to Juxian Manor.
The grand hero gathering ended in a dismal failure, and the fact that the head of the manor vomited blood and fell into a coma cast a shadow over the entire Juxian Manor.
Yuko heard the servants' chatter, but could only pretend not to know it with a pale face.
Just then, a bold voice rang out.
"Qiao Feng has come to visit the manor!"
Upon hearing this, Youju was greatly alarmed, thinking to himself, "Why would a jinx choose this time to come and visit the manor?"
Done!Done!
Juxianzhuang is probably in complete chaos today!
Then, a burly man with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a wide mouth slowly walked out from the screen wall, carrying a woman with weak breaths in his arms.
The burly man's imposing presence was terrifying; who else could it be but Qiao Feng?
Youju slumped to the ground in utter despair, muttering, "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. It's just that Juxian Manor is so unlucky, to have suffered such misfortunes in one day."
"Didn't you say that all the heroes gathered here to take my head, Qiao? Why are you the only one here? Where are the other heroes?"
Qiao Feng frowned, suddenly feeling insulted. Did the You brothers think they could take him down on their own?
Yuju broke down in tears, "It's all over! It's all over! What kind of heroes' gathering is this? Before you even arrived, they had already started a massacre!"
Qiao Feng: "..."
A massacre is about to begin?
Who are you talking about?
Qiao Feng was completely bewildered. This gathering of heroes was convened specifically to deal with him, so why did Cheng Yaojin suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"Brother Qiao, is Doctor Xue not here?"
A'Zhu, lying in Qiao Feng's arms, called out weakly.
Qiao Feng quickly pressed You Ju for an answer, "Where is Doctor Xue? I have a favor to ask! I know he contributed a lot to this Heroes' Gathering, so he should be a guest at your Juxian Manor."
Upon hearing Qiao Feng mention Xue Muhua, You Ju was heartbroken, as if his own mother had died, and he cried uncontrollably.
"Has something happened to Doctor Xue?"
Qiao Feng was both shocked and furious.
If something happens to Xue Mu Hua, then A Zhu is doomed!
Who in the world can save a dying person whose internal organs are all damaged?
Youju's eyes were lifeless. It wasn't until Qiao Feng put A'Zhu down and shook his arms that he subconsciously nodded.
Qiao Feng's body trembled violently. He dared not turn his head to look at A'Zhu, for fear of seeing a look of despair on her face.
A'Zhu reached out and grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Brother Qiao, you don't need to worry about me. It's all fate."
Qiao Feng clenched his fists. "We searched for doctors and medicine all the way, and finally found a glimmer of hope. God is too cruel."
Azhu didn't show any sadness. Instead, she smiled and said, "Heaven isn't heartless at all. Otherwise, it wouldn't have let you stay with me."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng felt both relieved and increasingly distressed.
"Brother Qiao, I'm very curious, who exactly ruined the Heroes' Gathering at Juxian Manor, and how does that person's martial arts compare to yours..."
Azhu quietly changed the subject.
Qiao Feng pondered in silence, then looked at You Ju and frowned, saying, "Please tell me the whole story, Master You."
Disrupting the Heroes' Gathering was meant to save Qiao Feng from trouble, but Xue Muhua's death only worsened their current predicament.
Qiao Feng really wanted to know who was behind this.
At this moment, Youju's emotions were finally a little more stable than before. Looking at the weak Azhu, he suddenly had an idea.
"The one who disrupted the Heroes' Gathering was a scholar. His target was Doctor Xue, and he came specifically to intercept and kill Doctor Xue."
"Many martial arts heroes had their martial arts skills crippled by that person in an attempt to protect Doctor Xue, but in the end, they still couldn't save Doctor Xue's life."
Youju embellished the story, blaming Xue Muhua's death on Chu Yang, making it sound like Chu Yang had done it intentionally. This made Qiao Feng think that the other party was deliberately targeting him.
Due to deficiency of both qi and blood, and weakness of mind, although A Zhu sensed a loophole in You Ju's words, she was too weak to think about it further, and could barely keep her eyes open.
Qiao Feng thought about it again and again, and felt that the mysterious scholar You Ju mentioned might be related to the mysterious person who killed his parents and mentor.
Both of them seem to be targeting the people around them.
Thinking of this, Qiao Feng was furious and immediately inquired about the scholar from You Ju.
