Chapter 459: Chapter 453: The Attack

Yan Rufeng raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Sister Mo Han, I have already investigated. As for that matter, those sisters can be considered victims as well."

"Hehe!"

Feng Mohan smiled and said, "I knew Qingxiao and Jiayao were not the kind of children to betray their master and ancestors!"

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Though from a subjective point of view, they are not to blame, the two sisters still bear inescapable responsibility for that incident."

At this moment, Jiang Mang’er smiled and said, "Brother Rufeng, now that everything is clear, just give them a slight punishment to remind them not to make the same mistake again. There’s no need to be too strict."

"Sigh!"

Yan Rufeng sighed and said, "I do want to punish them, but since Qingxiao left Wangyou Cliff to find Gudu Mohan, we haven’t seen her in nearly two years."

"What?"

Jiang Mang’er exclaimed, "Why did she go looking for Gudu Mohan?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head helplessly.

"What could Qingxiao be doing looking for Gudu Mohan? As far as I can see, besides seeking his help to clear me of collaborating with the Demon Clan, the rest is just speculation."

"What do you mean?"

Feng Mohan and Jiang Mang’er asked in unison.

When Yan Rufeng explained the relationship between Yun Jiuge and Gudu Mohan, both Jiang Mang’er and Feng Mohan frowned.

Feng Mohan said puzzled, "So Qingxiao certainly knew who colluded with the Demon Clan back then. But she has no dealings with Gudu Mohan. What can she do by finding him?"

Jiang Mang’er suddenly exclaimed, "Have you ever considered that Qingxiao might have some leverage over Gudu Mohan? Otherwise, why wouldn’t Gudu Mohan let her return?"

Jiang Mang’er changed the subject.

"Could it be that the one who colluded with the Demon Clan back then was Gudu Mohan?"

Yan Rufeng nodded.

"Sigh!"

Jiang Mang’er suddenly sighed and worriedly said, "Brother Rufeng, if what you say is true, that Gudu Mohan is the mastermind behind colluding with the Demon Clan, wouldn’t Qingxiao be in great danger?"

Yan Rufeng exhaled deeply.

"Sister Mang’er, I am not worried about Qingxiao’s safety; however..."

"What is it then?" Jiang Mang’er asked hurriedly.

Yan Rufeng said worriedly, "Sister Mang’er, what I fear is that Gudu Mohan might go berserk because of Yun Jiuge’s death."

Feng Mohan suddenly asked, "Brother Rufeng, what do you think Gudu Mohan might do in a fit of madness?"

"What else can he do?"

The anxious Jiang Mang’er said, "Gudu Mohan will definitely be out to kill Brother Rufeng."

"So, Brother Rufeng’s situation is very dangerous indeed."

Feng Mohan’s expression showed a hint of panic.

"And that’s not even the worst outcome." Yan Rufeng said calmly.

"Brother Rufeng, what do you mean?" Feng Mohan pressed.

"Sigh!"

Yan Rufeng nodded and sighed, "My concern is that Gudu Mohan might join forces with the other three Immortal Venerables to stir up trouble in the Immortal Domain."

Jiang Mang’er said doubtfully, "That seems impossible."

Yan Rufeng smiled but said nothing.

Feng Mohan frowned deeply.

"Sister Mang’er, listening to Brother Rufeng, if this is true, then I think Gudu Mohan must have already made some moves."

Jiang Mang’er shook her head.

"Everyone knows Gudu Mohan is notoriously arrogant and has always disdained to socialize with other Immortals. Moreover, he already took the immense risk of colluding with the Demon Clan, so how is it possible that many Immortal Venerables would join him in such a disgraceful act?"

Then, Jiang Mang’er turned her gaze to Yan Rufeng and asked, "Brother Rufeng, how did you come to this conclusion?"

Yan Rufeng said slowly, "Sister Mang’er, before Yun Jiuge died, I used the Soul Searching Technique on him."

"What?"

Jiang Mang’er exclaimed, "You used the Soul Searching Technique on Yun Jiuge, but you are only at the level of an Immortal Monarch! How did you manage that?"

Yan Rufeng said plainly, "Sister Mang’er, don’t ask me how I did it. I can only tell you that twelve years ago, during the great battle with the Demon Clan, under Gudu Mohan’s orders, Yun Jiuge and the other three Immortal Venerables set up four barriers on the outskirts, preventing me from breaking through the Demon Clan’s encirclement. Because of this, Mumu and I had no choice but to self-destruct to end our lives."

Jiang Mang’er suddenly realized, "So that’s why you didn’t break through the Demon Clan’s encirclement back then!"

Feng Mohan began to panic.

"Brother Rufeng, if Gudu Mohan really allies with the three Immortal Venerables, what will we do?"

Yan Rufeng thought for a moment and said, "Sister Mo Han, don’t worry. I’ve already thought of a plan before I came here."

Jiang Mang’er shook her head and said worriedly, "Brother Rufeng, you know that Gudu Mohan is known as the Emperor Dongfang. His mastery of the Soul Chasing Sword is unparalleled, claimed to be the best swordsman in the Immortal Domain. If he allies with the other three Immortal Venerables, even unifying the Immortal Domain wouldn’t be a problem. How can you possibly stop him?"

"That’s precisely why I rushed to Wanhua Valley." Yan Rufeng said.

Jiang Mang’er suddenly froze.

For a moment, Jiang Mang’er acted like she was ready for a major threat and grew tense.

"Brother Rufeng, do you mean to say that if Gudu Mohan takes action, he will target Wanhua Valley first?"

Yan Rufeng nodded and said, "Sister Mang’er, don’t worry. Now that I’m here, Wanhua Valley will be safe."

Feng Mohan suddenly became serious.

"Brother Rufeng, though I don’t know where your confidence comes from in facing Gudu Mohan, I must notify everyone to be ready for battle at any time."

Just then, an urgent voice was heard.

"Valley Master... Valley Master, something terrible has happened. Someone is attacking Wanhua Valley!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Ruo Lan, covered in blood, falling in front of Feng Mohan.

Feng Mohan hurriedly lifted Ruo Lan and asked angrily, "Ruo Lan, what happened?"

"Valley Master, it’s Sect Master Xiao Chuan of Canglan Immortal Sect..."

Before she could finish, Ruo Lan fainted.

"Damn Xiao Chuan!"

Yan Rufeng’s brows furrowed in anger.

"Just when I was looking for you, you sent yourself to me..."

"Zheng..."

A sword rang out, echoing through the heavens. Yan Rufeng’s back suddenly glowed green, and within moments, a longsword emitting a green light appeared in his hand.

"Sisters, wait here. I’ll be back soon."

Jiang Mang’er suddenly panicked.

"Brother Rufeng, you can’t go. You are no match for Xiao Chuan!"

Yan Rufeng’s eyes burned with fury.

"Sister Mang’er, don’t worry. Xiao Chuan can’t do anything big in front of me."

A gust of wind blew, and Yan Rufeng soared into the sky.

"Buzz~"

A bright light shone, and a barrier descended towards Yan Rufeng.

Feng Mohan called out, "Rufeng, please don’t act recklessly. Let me go deal with Xiao Chuan."

Yan Rufeng paid no attention. His body trembled slightly, and a massive aura swept out, instantly filling the entire barrier.
