I, Qiao Feng, start by killing all the Beggars' Sect

"The mysterious man must have great power, otherwise he wouldn't have sent out invitations to heroes to so many sects."

"Yes, I heard that it was even sent to the Western Regions and overseas. Of course, all the major sects in the Central Plains also received the hero invitation."

“I just don’t know how many masters will go to Shaolin Temple.”

"Have you heard that Ye Erniang, one of the four evil people, was killed?"

"I heard about it too. He was killed by Yan Nantian. It was Ye Erniang who was stealing a child and was caught by Hero Yan."

"Ye Erniang deserves to die. If there were more heroes like Yan Nantian, the martial arts world would be safer."

In a small town called Qixia Town, in an inn called Tongfu Inn.

Qiao Feng listened to the conversations of the people around him without any change in expression.

"Sir, here are the dishes you ordered."

Amid the shouting, a waiter in a coarse white shirt brought the wine and food with brisk steps.

Qiao Feng glanced at the waiter and said, "Thank you very much. I wonder if anything big has happened in the Seven Heroes Town recently?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems not."

Qiao Feng took out a tael of silver and threw it to him, "Really?"

"Uh... a little bit."

"explain."

The waiter thought for a moment and said, "First of all, there are more martial artists in Qixia Town. Secondly, it seems that some masters from the Demon Sect have appeared here."

"What master?"

The waiter looked around and whispered in Qiao Feng's ear, "It's that Yinkui Sect witch, Kankan. She's very pretty, but unfortunately she's a witch. Big brother, don't get too close to her. Your life is at stake."

Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "Oh? Anything else?"

"Now that the witch has been born, of course the saint will not be left behind. I heard that the saint of Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan, has also been born and is walking the world. I'm sure both of them have the strength of a master. It's a pity that we can only feast our eyes on it."

After hearing him talk so much, Qiao Feng couldn't help but whisper, "How can a thief saint be so cowardly?"

"Ah... I dare not say that. I don't know anyone who is a thief or not."

Bai Zhantang was startled and stared at Qiao Feng again and again.

Qiao Feng smiled and said, "If you don't know me, then I don't know you. Let's talk about the Shaolin Martial Arts Conference on August 8th. There should be many martial artists passing by this Qixia Town. You should have heard some of the stories."

"This... Sir, how dare we in this small shop..."

Seeing Qiao Feng's gaze, Bai Zhantang quickly changed the subject.

"But...I did hear some rumors."

"Speak." Qiao Feng said.

"The mysterious person who sent the heroic invitation may be a former powerful person who has reborn and wants to unify the martial arts world and sit on the throne of the leader of the martial arts world."

"go on."

Bai Zhantang looked around and whispered, "The other party directly picked Shaolin Temple. This is a challenge to the authority of Shaolin Temple. However, there are indeed few real top masters in Shaolin Temple in recent years. Everyone in the martial arts world is very excited this time, because there has not been such a grand event in the martial arts world for a long time."

Qiao Feng said, "This place is not far from Shaolin Temple, why don't you go and take a look?"

Bai Zhantang shook his head like a rattle, "The shopkeeper won't let me leave the store, and even if I had time, I wouldn't dare go. Wouldn't that be courting death? There are heroes who go there, and there are villains who go there. If I run into a villain halfway, I'll be doomed."

Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Feng couldn't help but find it funny.

But the matter of Xiao Yuanshan made him ponder for a long time, but he could not come to any conclusion.

"Is that all? Nothing else unusual?" Qiao Feng asked.

Bai Zhantang hesitated again and again, and whispered, "There is one more thing. The night before yesterday, a group of men in black came. They arrested several people and did not enter the town or stay. They went northwest."

Qiao Feng frowned, "Northwest? Beyond that is the Gobi Desert. What are we going there for? Are we going to capture people?"

"How would I know? It was the middle of the night, and they were all very skilled in martial arts. I didn't dare to provoke them."

Qiao Feng asked: "Then how did you find out in the middle of the night?"

Bai Zhantang laughed awkwardly and said, "My hands are itching, so I'm strolling around the roof in the middle of the night."

Qiao Feng smiled at him and said, "Okay, then you can go about your business as a waiter."

Bai Zhantang put the silver away, grinned foolishly and walked away quickly.

Qiao Feng quietly looked around.

There are more martial artists in Qixia Town than in Luoyang. I don’t know if it’s due to the recent martial arts conference or the special nature of Qixia Town.

Bai Zhantang is quite a pretentious guy. He is only in the early stage of Grandmaster level, but his lightness skill level is probably that of a peak Grandmaster.

That night, Qiao Feng stayed at Tongfu Inn.

At night, Qiao Feng also strolled on the roof like Bai Zhantang.

A dark shadow appeared on the roof opposite, causing Qiao Feng to raise his eyebrows.

"Do you feel itchy hands every night?"

Qiao Feng asked out loud.

The dark shadow on the roof opposite staggered and almost fell down.

"Sir, why are you on the rooftop in the middle of the night?"

The masked man in black jumped over and whispered, it was Bai Zhantang.

"Since you two are so interested, why not let me join you?"

At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.

Bai Zhantang froze. After deciding to retire, he didn't want to have anything to do with martial artists.

Instead, Qiao Feng looked in surprise at the man who had also jumped up using light skills.

He was surprised and asked: "Four eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng?"

Because Lu Xiaofeng was clearly a master in the apricot forest, and now he is a grand master. His lightness skill is even more terrifying than his own, and it is unfathomable.

"Master Qiao, long time no see." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and bowed.

Bai Zhantang was completely stunned.

"Lu Xiaofeng? Qiao, Hero Qiao Feng?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, who is this?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Bai Zhantang curiously.

"Nobody, nobody, haha, I won't disturb you two from enjoying the moon."

Qiao Feng looked up at the sky. It was overcast tonight.

Bai Zhantang wanted to escape, but Qiao Feng grabbed his arm and he was unable to get away for a while.

"Hey, Mr. Qiao, be gentle, I won't run away."

Qiao Feng said: "Tell me what characteristics the group of people you met had."

He ignored Lu Xiaofeng. As long as he was not a bad person, it was good enough. Since the other party threatened him like this, it was only right for him to drag a few people into the water.

Lu Xiaofeng showed an interested expression but said nothing.

Bai Zhantang said, "There are nine people in total, and three of them are being held captive. They are all tied up, and it's really tragic. These nine people seem to be connected by a single aura. Even when they are riding horses, they are connected to each other. Apart from these, there is nothing strange."

Qiao Feng looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "I've heard that you are extremely smart and knowledgeable. Do you have any idea about these nine people? I am willing to pay a certain amount of money."

He believed that Lu Xiaofeng would not interfere in his affairs for no reason.

Especially when he discovered that Lu Xiaofeng's current martial arts strength was not weaker than his, he became more convinced.

"To be honest with you, Mr. Qiao, I came here to track down this matter.

“Three days ago, Ouyang Ke, who had fought with you, disappeared, and Ouyang Feng is looking for him everywhere.

"A friend of mine named Sikong Zhaixing also disappeared the day before yesterday. After investigating for several days, I found that the way they disappeared was somewhat similar.

"They all left a note wherever they disappeared. Mr. Qiao, are you concerned about this for the people around you?"

Qiao Feng's expression became serious.

"Even Sikong Zhaixing was arrested?"

Bai Zhantang was even more shocked: "Sikong Zhaixing, the King of Thieves? He has unparalleled lightness skills, how could he..."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "That's right, even he was caught by mistake, which shows how strong the opponent is. But the opponent asked me to provoke Ximen Chuxue to compete with Xie Xiaofeng in swordsmanship, as if the opponent knew Ximen Chuxue's swordsmanship skills.

"You have to know that Ximen is not famous at all except for his previous actions when he was young and his contemplation of the sword art in recent years without leaving his house."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but think to himself, if Ximen Chuxue was really as Lu Xiaofeng said, he would probably be at least a grandmaster now.

However, the other party knew Ximen Chuxue's background very well. This intelligence capability was too terrifying.
