Ten days ago, Little Chu secretly came to see me.

He came to drink with me and said that he would head to Formless Divine Mountain within three months.

He would be part of the Iron Banner Gang, but he had absolutely no intention of becoming the Iron Banner Gang Leader.

Although I was not convinced by him, I knew his character, a man whose word is his bond!

This is quite coincidental.

Only four people knew the location of the Mi Family Mansion beforehand.

Xunyang Hall Master Uncle Lu is a generous and righteous man.

He is old and had intended to retire from Jianghu at the beginning of the year, only staying in the gang because his senior brother repeatedly pleaded with him to stay and suppress the situation.

Moreover, Uncle Lu and his whole family owe their lives to the senior brother, so betraying the Iron Banner Gang would bring him no benefits.

Since it is neither Uncle Lu, you nor me, nor Chu Xisheng, then who else could it be?”

Songfeng Sword Lin Shi’s brows were tightly knitted, his expression troubled, “There might be some misunderstanding!”

“Whether there is a misunderstanding, you can discuss it with my master!”

Jia Dali, carrying his heavy sword on his shoulder, laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, “Thinking about it now, that Zi Yun indeed had problems.

How foolish was I, Jia Dali, not to realize I was under an illusion technique.

I indeed took the wrong path, colluding with the Demon Sect, which is a taboo for our Iron Armor Sect.

In the past, Iron Armor Sect declined because of the Demon Sect, yet I, this unworthy disciple, forgot the iron rules set by our ancestors.

Thinking carefully, those people might also be involved with our Iron Banner Gang’s archenemy, aiming to lure me step by step into the abyss from which there is no return.

However, my life has been worthwhile.

Until just now, my master never really tried to kill me, and I, your nephew, am deeply grateful.”

Upon hearing this, Tie Xiaosheng immediately felt an ominous premonition rising.

His throat was dry, “Dali, what are you planning to do?

Come back!”

At that moment, Jia Dali had already leaped into the air and jumped down from Stone Castle.

Looking at the distant spreading dust and the overwhelming troops rolling in, his lips curled upward, “Master, I took the wrong path and must pay the price.

You don’t need to pity me; I’ve already practiced a Demon Secret Technique, violating the sect rules.

What worries me more is the unpredictable illusion techniques of the Illusion Spirit Sect, controlling people’s hearts, perhaps irrevocably so.

Today, your nephew will use this battle to prove my innocence and repay the kindness of you and my two senior uncles!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed towards the approaching army like a galloping horse.

Meanwhile, Songfeng Sword Lin Shi also floated over the stone wall.

His body was like a falling leaf, light and fluttering, continuously undulating slightly in the air, yet seemingly slow but fast, quickly floating ten yards past the stone wall.

Tie Xiaosheng, however, surged with imposing blood energy, rushing towards Lin Shi like a cannon shot.

He was filled with endless grief, endless heartache, endless confusion, and endless kill intent, his heavy sword striking down like Mount Tai bearing down.

Both their cultivations were at Fifth Grade Lower, yet Tie Xiaosheng’s combat strength was significantly stronger than Lin Shi’s by a large margin.

Now, wearing the “Iron Futing”, Tie Xiaosheng’s combat strength was almost at the peak of Fifth Grade Upper.

Songfeng Sword Lin Shi could only block one sword strike and couldn’t help but bleed from all seven orifices.

“Why is this?” Tie Xiaosheng’s voice was hoarse, his eyes full of anger, “Where have we wronged you?

My brothers from the Chongzhou Naval Camp and I have founded this venture here, and Lin Shi, you were part of it too.

What reason do you have to betray us?

Dali has always treated you as an uncle, always shown you respect.

Why would you harm him like this?”

Lin Shi did not answer; his expression was ice cold, and he continued to retreat like a specter.

Now that his life was almost at stake, what was the point of answering these questions?

Only by escaping the Stone Castle, getting to the army outside, could he ensure his safety and possibly afford to clarify any confusions for Tie Xiaosheng.

Meanwhile, three miles away, Governor Sikong Chan of Xiushui County was sitting on a gigantic lizard, holding a gold and crimson narrow sword box about five fingers wide, looking at a letter in his hands.

This was a gigantic lizard about twenty yards long and seven yards tall, covered in scale armor, hissing with a snake-like tongue.

Its body resembled a small mountain, yet it moved very agility and quietly.

Soon after, Sikong Chan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, tucking the letter into his sleeve.

And a few steps away, a youthful and pretty woman asked, “The ‘Gold-plated Silver Feathered Pigeon’ that just came by seemed to be kept inside the Governor’s Mansion.

Is that a letter from Mr.

Governor?

What did he say?”

Sikong Chan glanced at the young woman beside him.

This was his wife, Han Yuyan, a True Disciple of the South Sea Sword Sect and his wise helper.

The young woman was staring at him with eyes wide open, filled with curiosity and concern.

Sikong Chan let out an amused chuckle, “How could it be a letter from the governor?

What kind of cautious person he is, how could he possibly leave evidence for me to hold against him?

This letter was written by someone else on his behalf, without any seal.”

Sikong Chan shook his head slightly, his tone mocking, “This is mimicking a friend’s tone, advising me that now I have already privately dispatched troops and acted, I should handle things thoroughly.

The saying goes, ‘beat the snake dead, or suffer its bite.’ If there’s major chaos in Xiushui County, Mr.

Governor won’t let us off easily.

It means, the governor has tacitly allowed me to act, willing to facilitate, but if I don’t handle things well and leave any disaster, I can’t blame him for being ruthless.”

Han Yuyan suddenly looked somber, her eyes filled with worry and guilt, “It’s all because of me and my senior brother that you got dragged into this.”
