Chapter 313.1

Gathering (1)

The three of them came to the restaurant for another purpose besides eating.

To collect some information.

The discussion of the guests on the third floor gave the three of them some ideas about their next trip to Tiangang Mountain.

After eating, the three of them left the restaurant and headed towards the inn.

But halfway through, Feng Shao felt something was wrong, and said in a low voice, “You two, have you noticed that people seem to be following us?”

Liu Shou nodded, “I noticed it when we first came out of the restaurant. At that time, I thought it was just traveling the same route, but now it seems that they are coming for us.”

Murong Pianpian frowned and said, “Could it be people from the Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect that have caught up? Or is it Chu Qing’s lackeys who were waiting in ambush here in advance?”

Feng Shao smiled slightly, “Catch it, and you’ll know. Why ask me?”

The three of them looked at each other, nodded, and continued to walk forward in silence.

After walking into a seldom-visited alley, the follower really lost his composure. A person suddenly stood up and shouted at Feng Shao and the others, “Stop!”

Feng Shao couldn’t help but show doubt. What is the other party’s plan? Why did he expose himself before he even started? Doesn’t he know that if he does it secretly while the other party is not paying attention, the success rate is higher?

After Feng Shao winked at the two of them, he turned around and saw that there were already five young men blocking the entrance of the alley, staring at Feng Shao and the three of them.

Before Feng Shao could speak, the person headed by the other party shouted, “Hand over the Holy Lord’s Madam, or we will kill you!”

Feng Shao and Liu Shou couldn’t help but be surprised. From the address of the other party, they noticed that the situation did not seem to be what they imagined.

Sure enough, the two immediately heard Murong Pianpian shout in surprise and joy, “Wu Qiong? Why are you here? When did you come here?”

Liu Shou asked in surprise, “An acquaintance?”

Murong Pianpian was about to nod, but Wu Qiong said in a deep voice, “Madam, don’t be afraid, with us here, we will never let these thieves hurt you!”

Before he finished speaking, the four people behind him pulled out their weapons one after another, getting ready to fight. There was a look of death in their eyes, and it seemed that they had already made plans to stay here with their lives.

Feng Shao applauded, and said to Murong Pianpian, “These people are Ziqing Sacred Land disciples who are loyal to you and Tang Fei, right? It seems that they want to ‘save’ you from us.”

Murong Pianpian did not answer Feng Shao’s words, but directly scolded Wu Qiong and the others, “Don’t be rude! They are all friends of me and the Holy Lord!”

Wu Qiong and others were dumbfounded.

At this time, a person behind Wu Qiong whispered, “I… I seem to have seen the man in white. He seemed to be sitting in the VIP seat at the Holy Lord’s succession ceremony.”

Wu Qiong looked a little ugly and scolded, “Then why didn’t you say it earlier?”

The man looked aggrieved as he replied, “I didn’t recognize it at first! Brother Wu, you know me. After I saw a lot of people, I turned around and forgot them. I can’t remember them at all, let alone a person I saw four years ago.”

Wu Qiong: “…”

When the misunderstanding was resolved, Wu Qiong and the others stepped forward in embarrassment. They bowed to Feng Shao and the others, and Wu Qiong apologized, “The disciple and the others were rude and offended just now. Please forgive us.”

Feng Shao waved his hand, “It’s easy to say. You are also eager to save people, so it’s understandable.”

At this time, Murong Pianpian said, “This is Feng Shao, the city lord of Wuling City, and this is brother Liu Shou. They are all close friends of the Holy Lord and me. I was able to escape from Chu Qing’s claws this time, thanks to their rescue.”

When Wu Qiong and the others heard this, they quickly thanked Feng Shao and the others in unison, “Thank you, sirs, for risking your lives to save the Madam. We are grateful!”

Feng Shao said helplessly, “Okay, okay, we are all from our own family, so there is no need to be so polite.”

Murong Pianpian also nodded and said, “Master Feng is right, we are all from our own family, so you don’t need to be formal.”

She asked Wu Qiong again, “Wu Qiong, why are you here? Where are the others?”

Wu Qionggong said: “Madam, the enemy attacked that night. After the Seal Elder sacrificed his life for the disciples, the Inheritance Elder and the Law Enforcement Elder led the disciples to break out. However, during the breakout process, the disciples were scattered by the enemy. A separate team followed the Law Enforcement Elder to break through, while our group followed the Inheritance Elder to break through. Right now, those who follow the Inheritance Elder to break through are gathered in Hanyang City, ready to go to Tiangang Mountain to seek help.”

Murong Pianpian nodded solemnly, “Take me to see the Inheritance Elder.”

Wu Qiong bowed and said, “I obey the Madam’s order.”

On the way, Murong Pianpian couldn’t help but ask Wu Qiong about their experiences these days.

Wu Qiong replied, “Reporting to Madam, after getting rid of the pursuers, the disciples planned to go to Tiangang Mountain to ask for help. However, they encountered frequent ambushes along the way. The disciples suffered heavy casualties, and the Inheritance Elder was also seriously injured. In desperation, the disciples had to take a detour from Chongyang Mountain to Tiangang Mountain, so it took a month to reach here while avoiding the enemy. We didn’t expect to see Madam here. It is a blessing to have such auspicious people to help you!”
