"It's the master!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Poisons and the Peerless Ghost clasped their hands in response.
Tianze nodded slightly.
"Is there any news about Yan Lingji?"
Tianze's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Reporting to Master, I have only found out that she also followed Han Feng into Nanyang City."
"We just can't find out where she's hiding right now."
The King of Poisons' eyes flashed with a cold light.
Upon hearing this, Tianze's cold tone rang out again: "Continue investigating her whereabouts."
"Yes, Master!" King of Poisons clasped his hands in obeisance and accepted the order.
Tianze nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he worked with Hundred Poison King and Peerless Ghost to refine their conspiracy against Han Feng.

125. A traveler in a straw raincoat at night
the other side.
The lake at night resembles a huge black silk ribbon, shimmering slightly in the moonlight.
The lake was as calm as solidified amber. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would stir up a ripple, but it would quickly return to stillness.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of insects and the distant hooting of owls could be heard. These sounds were particularly clear and eerie in the empty night.
On the lakeside, a man dressed in a straw raincoat sat there, holding a long fishing rod in his hand.
This person was none other than the Straw-Clothed Man, one of the Four Fiends of the Night.
The figure of the man in the straw raincoat appeared somewhat blurry in the moonlight, as if blending into the surrounding night.
It appears deep and mysterious in the darkness, giving people an indescribable sense of profoundness.
He sat quietly, his eyes fixed on the buoy on the lake, without moving an inch.
The air was filled with the dampness of the lake and the scent of earth, which was particularly strong at night, making it feel somewhat suffocating.
Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow by, stirring his clothes and hair, and also creating ripples on the lake's surface.
However, such beautiful scenery could not mask the silence and eeriness of the night.
Time seemed to stand still on this lake.
At this moment.
A dark figure appeared, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "My lord!"
The man in the straw raincoat remained motionless, as if he couldn't hear anything at all.
Upon seeing this, the shadowy figure took the initiative to report.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, we have just received news that Han Feng will be hosting a banquet in three days for the scholars and philosophers who have come to Nanyang City."
"It is said that someone wanted to know whether the appearance of the treasure box in Nanyang City was real, so they went to the banquet."
"Otherwise, leave Nanyang City within three days."
"Han Feng even declared that anyone who did not attend the banquet or leave Nanyang City would bear the consequences."
After the shadowy figure finished speaking, he knelt there, waiting for the man in the straw raincoat to give instructions.
Upon hearing this, the man in the straw raincoat frowned slightly.
But instead of responding, he asked, "Is there any other news?"
Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure clasped his hands in greeting again and reported, "My lord, the Right Protector of the Yin-Yang School, Moon Goddess, and one of the five elders, Grand Master of Fate, have appeared in Nanyang City. Prince Tianze of Baiyue, along with Hundred Poison King and Peerless Ghost, have infiltrated Nanyang City and are hiding, seemingly intending to take revenge on Han Feng in secret."
"Yes, sir. The holy maiden Yan Lingji from the Baiyue tribe, who was rescued by Han Feng, followed Han Feng into Nanyang City and has been hiding outside Han Feng's residence ever since, with no clear purpose."
"..."
The shadowy figure rattled off all the information he had gathered.
"Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School, you've finally arrived!"
The man in the straw raincoat's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He had been waiting for this news...
Now we finally hear the news that the Moon Goddess and the Great Master of Fate from the Yin-Yang School have appeared in Nanyang City.
The man in the straw raincoat pondered for a moment.
A cold, clear voice rang out.
"Keep a close watch on their every move, especially Crown Prince Tianze."
The man in the straw raincoat had a cold and aloof expression.
Han Feng killed the Corpse-Driving Demon, and Tian Ze came to Nanyang City, surely wanting to find Han Feng and avenge the Corpse-Driving Demon.
Since everyone's enemy is Han Feng, the man in the straw raincoat will not miss the opportunity to cooperate with Tian Ze to deal with Han Feng.
Similarly, if possible, he would like to cooperate with the Yin-Yang School's Moon Goddess to deal with Han Feng together.
However, the man in the straw raincoat had a gut feeling that the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School would not cooperate with him.
Therefore, the man in the straw raincoat focused his attention on Tianze.
If Tianze and his group join in, along with the assassins sent by Luo Wang, the chances of killing Han Feng will greatly increase. 1.4
"It's the master!"
The shadowy figure clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.
Then, in a flash, the figure disappeared from the spot.
After the man left, only the man in the straw raincoat remained by the lake.
The lone figure of the man in the straw raincoat was reflected on the lake, making him appear even more solitary.
Everything around returned to its original state, completely silent.
It was as if nothing had just happened.

126. The Feast at Hongmen
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Han Feng's mansion was magnificent and splendid, like a dazzling pearl set in the bustling city of Nanyang.
The mansion's gates soared into the clouds, adorned with exquisite dragon and phoenix carvings, showcasing the owner's nobility and majesty.
On either side of the gate, stone lions stand proudly, as if guarding this territory and not allowing any intrusion.
Inside the mansion, the carved beams and painted rafters, the upturned eaves and corners, all exude a sense of antiquity and elegance.
Today is the day Han Feng hosts a banquet for the various schools of thought.
At this moment.
In the hall, a huge round table was surrounded by exquisite jade and porcelain pieces, laden with delicacies, their aroma filling the air and making the 24 people's mouths water.
Han Feng was dressed in a magnificent robe and exuded an air of grandeur.
With Hu Meiren on one arm and Mingzhu Madam on the other, he wore a warm yet dignified smile on his face.
The melodious sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments, along with the graceful dance moves, added a touch of elegance and romance to this grand event.
After giving Han Feng a sip of wine, Lady Mingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Husband, the banquet is about to begin, but not a single person from the Hundred Schools of Thought has come. Do they really think you sent people to kill those who left Nanyang City?"
Madam Mingzhu's eyes showed worry.
"It doesn't matter!"
"It's just as I wanted them not to come."
Han Feng remained calm, showing no sign of worry.
He already knew that it was Tianze and his group who killed those members of the Hundred Schools of Thought who had left Nanyang City.
Han Feng had also guessed Tianze's conspiracy.
Han Feng didn't take it to heart at all.
Tianze's actions were exactly what he wanted.
If none of the philosophers from the various schools of thought have come to the banquet today, then he can kill without any scruples.
