In Qin Feng's heart, Li Haoran, this man with a beast's heart, who had committed countless evils, must die!
But this is Shu Jian Mountain, and Li Haoran's father is Li Xingjian. Killing Li Haoran would inevitably offend Li Xingjian, and for a Tian Gang stage expert to kill him would be as easy as snapping his fingers.
Therefore, Qin Feng must kill Li Haoran, but he must plan carefully before taking action.
Killing is easy, but the key is how to deal with the aftermath.
Moreover, after Li Haoran was injured last time, a mysterious monster suddenly appeared to protect him, clearly sent by Li Xingjian or his mother, Qin Xin Yue, to protect their son Li Haoran.
So, he can kill him, but he must find the right opportunity.
Jian Yuan Peak is really far. Qin Feng spent several days climbing. But finally, he reached the top of Jian Yuan Peak, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. This journey, carrying Zhong Wu on his back, had significantly improved his physical fitness.
Stepping onto the peak of Jian Yuan Peak, Qin Feng exhaled heavily and then sat down on the ground without any grace.
Looking up, the cliff of Jian Yuan Peak was incredibly steep, and the peak resembled a long sword piercing the sky, truly magnificent. No wonder it was named Jian Yuan.
After resting for a while, Qin Feng stood up and walked towards some caves on the halfway point of Jian Yuan Peak.
Jian Yuan Peak is the mountain where the sect leader Li Xingjian, his wife Qin Xin Yue, and their disciples reside. Zhan Bai, who is the eldest of the seven disciples of Yun Jian, has a cave on the halfway point of Jian Yuan Peak. Qin Feng climbed up, and on the way, he encountered many flying disciples of Shu Jian Mountain. One of them, a patrol team, flew towards Qin Feng.
"Wait! Please report your identity, and state your purpose for coming to Jian Yuan Peak!"
Qin Feng carefully examined the person who approached. The leader was dressed similarly to Zhan Bai, wearing white and carrying a sword, but his appearance and demeanor were quite different from Zhan Bai. His face was longer and thinner, and his build was not as tall and robust as Zhan Bai's. His cultivation was at the second stage of the Human Gang realm. For someone of this level to be a patrol disciple, it was clear that Jian Yuan Peak was a crucial area of Shu Jian Mountain.
Qin Feng did not act arrogantly and took out his identity badge, throwing it to the patrol disciple.
Then he said, "I am Qin Feng, a new outer disciple this year. I came to Jian Yuan Peak to visit Senior Brother Zhan Bai!"
"The identity badge is correct, but..."
Upon hearing that Qin Feng wanted to visit Zhan Bai on Jian Yuan Peak, the thin-faced man's face showed a hint of sadness. He threw the badge back to Qin Feng and explained, "Junior Brother, you don't need to go. Senior Brother Zhan Bai, due to... some matters, offended the master and was punished to Ghost Sword Cliff to reflect on his actions!"
"What? Ghost Sword Cliff?!"
Qin Feng was taken aback. The Ghost Sword Cliff was mentioned in the Shu Mountain Sword Canon. It was where a Shu Jian Mountain elder had once delved into the Ghost Sword and became possessed, and was killed by the combined efforts of the other elders. Since then, the cliff was named Ghost Sword to warn future disciples not to stray from the path and become possessed due to greed.
Therefore, this place was often used as a place for reflection and penance!
Generally, disciples who showed signs of possession were confined here to repent and reform.
"Zhan Bai would become possessed?"
Are you kidding me!
Upon hearing this news, Qin Feng immediately thought he had misheard.
Anyone could become possessed, even Qin Feng himself, but Zhan Bai would never become possessed!
Qin Feng was absolutely certain of this!
The two had faced life and death together, and the justice that Zhan Bai upheld was something Qin Feng had always aspired to. For this reason, Qin Feng came to Shu Jian Mountain, to this place where the righteous path of Yun Qi Kingdom originated, to fulfill his dream of becoming a sword immortal, a dream of justice.
"But, could all of this be true?"
Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, Ghost Sword Cliff was also on Jian Yuan Peak. Qin Feng only needed to climb this steep mountain to get to the bottom of the matter.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will return then!"
Qin Feng thanked him and immediately turned to go back. After the patrol team flew away, Qin Feng returned and found a hidden spot to wait until nightfall.
Climbing the mountain during the day?
Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if he was discovered and kicked off the mountain. Not to mention the patrol team, but Ghost Sword Cliff would definitely have disciples guarding it. How could such an important place allow people to come and go freely?
Therefore, he could only wait until night to act.
Fortunately, he had been carrying Zhong Wu to train his body for the past few days, so his body was quite fatigued. After a short while, Qin Feng fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Feng was nestled in a pile of weeds, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered. Even if he was, he could easily come up with an excuse using his outer disciple identity badge to get past the guards. Jian Yuan Peak did not allow random intruders, but surely it wouldn't forbid someone from sleeping there.
When he woke up, the moon was already high in the sky.
However, the moon was not very bright, shrouded in clouds, and did not cast much light.
This was perfect for Qin Feng's infiltration.
No matter what, he had to see Zhan Bai and clear up the doubts in his heart.
From his storage ring, Qin Feng took out the strange large black cloth he had obtained from Ye Wu Yuan in the small forest in Luoyang Town and draped it over himself.
Qin Feng had studied this black cloth. It was very tattered, with patches of red and green, and it was greasy and emitted a faint odor. But this tattered black cloth had a very special function: it could conceal one's aura and form.
It was truly the supreme treasure for covert operations and murder!
Qin Feng had asked Tian Yao to examine this black cloth, and Tian Yao was puzzled for a long time. It looked familiar, but he couldn't recall what it was. However, it could be deduced that it was part of some treasure.
"What kind of treasure is it, whose part is a tattered black cloth?"
Tian Yao couldn't explain it, and neither could Qin Feng.
However, with this large black cloth, he could effectively conceal his aura. Although Qin Feng didn't know the highest level of expert that this black cloth could hide him from, since Tian Yao couldn't figure it out, it must be quite powerful.
With the black cloth on, Qin Feng instantly disappeared into the darkness.
On the way, Qin Feng moved very carefully, choosing remote mountain paths. Although he encountered some patrol officers halfway, none of them discovered him.
All of this was thanks to the large black cloth, which made Qin Feng even more convinced that this black cloth was not ordinary.
If he had the chance, he would definitely ask Tian Yao to think hard and figure out what this thing really was.
