When Wen and Xiang hurried back home with Yun's body, they did not immediately arrange for Yun's funeral but instead went to the villa where Ruo Xi lived to see if she was there.
However, to their disappointment, Ruo Xi was indeed not present. Wen felt all hope shatter at that moment, and misfortune followed one after another. Unable to hold it in, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and looked up, roaring in anger.
Although Xiang was not as affected as Yun, he too was at a loss over the situation.
At that moment, in the secret chamber of the Southern Mansion, seven people were secretly discussing matters.
“Liu Hall Master, I cannot control my daughter at home; I truly appreciate your guidance and care at Pure Hall.” These were prominent figures in Holy City, and it was customary to exchange pleasantries when they met.
However, this made Nangong Yu blush, and she pouted, saying, “Father, please don’t embarrass me in front of so many people.”
The strikingly beautiful yet cold Liu Hall Master laughed heartily and said, “Nangong Mansion Master need not be so formal; I am not that pretentious. I rushed over as soon as I returned from outside the city. What is the matter?”
Seeing the dignified Pure Hall Master and her cold yet charming demeanor was quite refreshing. Chief Liu, despite his age, struggled to suppress his laughter, his old face turning red.
Huo Feng and the other four were also stifling their laughter, covering their mouths but unable to contain themselves.
At this moment, Nangong Wuqing felt embarrassed but had no choice. He twitched his lips and forced a smile as he said, “Perhaps I was being too sensitive; let me explain this matter properly to you.”
With that, Nangong Wuqing cleared his throat and proceeded to reveal the significant secret he had inadvertently learned about Martial Hall.
“Is this true?” Liu Hall Master asked in shock at first. But then her expression turned serious as she added calmly, “Without any evidence, you will be seen as slandering them; I cannot take that risk with you.”
“Liu Hall Master, I have no grievances with Wen Hall Master; there is no need for me to frame him. So I must ask for your assistance,” Nangong Wuqing insisted, unwilling to give up on such an opportunity.
At this moment, Ruo Xi stepped forward and said, "I can also prove that those two brothers often sneak in and out of a secret room."
Liu Hall Master glanced deeply at Ruo Xi and Huo Feng, then turned to Nangong Wuqing and said, "But this is still not enough evidence. What I need is solid proof. Although their talent is indeed astonishing, almost perverse, I still cannot take this risk unless you can obtain that Crystal you mentioned."
Seeing Liu Hall Master like this, Nangong Wuqing felt troubled. The Martial Hall was heavily guarded, and he had no capable hands to help him obtain that Crystal.
Nangong Wuqing furrowed his brows, and the atmosphere around them became heavy and unusually quiet.
At this moment, Huo Feng suddenly stepped forward, breaking the tense situation. He calmly said, "I am willing to give it a try."
Everyone was taken aback by his words. At this time, Ruo Xi also walked beside Huo Feng with a slight smile and said, "Count me in as well."
Seeing both Huo Feng and Ruo Xi stepping forward, Xuanran and Nangong Yu also requested to join.
Huo Feng immediately spoke firmly, "None of you can go. The fewer people involved, the better; too many will only complicate things."
Then Huo Feng turned to Ruo Xi and said, "You can't go either. Trust me, nothing will happen this time."
Next, Huo Feng transmitted a message: "You must have heard those two Dragon Roars outside the city. I am now at Earth Vein Realm Level Two and can transform into a dragon at will. Have you forgotten that I have backup? If you go, it will only make me worry and affect my judgment."
At this point, Ruo Xi reluctantly replied, "Fine, but if you take too long to come back, I will come after you."
Huo Feng then smiled and nodded at her.
"This is nonsense; you are simply being reckless. The Martial Hall is heavily guarded, and the Hall Master is at Tribulation Pulse Realm Three while his brother is at Earth Vein Realm Level One. Going there is like walking into death!" Nangong Wuqing shouted.
At this moment, Liu Hall Master also spoke up: "The only son of the one who just committed suicide in the forest outside the city is surely going to be like a madman now. If we run into him at this time, it could be quite troublesome."
However, Huo Feng seemed to suddenly become unreasonable, stubbornly saying, "This is my own decision, and you have no right to interfere. If I want to go, I will definitely go. I want to take revenge for what happened last time."
Just as Nangong Wuqing was about to continue persuading him, Huo Feng transmitted a message: "Nangong Mansion Master, there's no need to worry. Have you forgotten my trump card? And that magical beast?"
Hearing this from Huo Feng, Nangong Wuqing finally remembered the magical beast that had caused chaos in the Southern Mansion.
With a sense of reassurance, he said, "Since you are so determined, I can only follow your wishes. But everything must be done carefully."
Seeing that the discussion had reached a conclusion, Liu Hall Master said, "I wonder what kind of magical beast is outside the city tonight that has made the palace so tense. Since things have been decided this way, I will take my leave now. If there are any developments, you can have Yuer notify me. Don't worry; I will keep it confidential."
With that, Liu Hall Master stood up to leave, and Nangong Wuqing quickly accompanied Chief Liu to see him off.
After Liu Hall Master left, Nangong Wuqing asked Huo Feng, "When do you plan to take action?"
"It will be bright soon; let's do it tomorrow night," Huo Feng replied.
"Alright, everything must be done carefully. Then everyone should rest well now," Nangong Wuqing said before turning to Nangong Yu and adding, "You take Sister Ruo Xi to arrange a room for her."
Once everything was settled, everyone dispersed.
On the second night, Huo Feng put on the new mask prepared by Chief Liu and took the Martial Hall layout map that Nangong Yu had obtained from Liu Hall Master. He bid farewell to everyone and disappeared into the night. The remaining people could only wait anxiously.
Soon, Huo Feng arrived at the outskirts of the palace in the West, where the Martial Hall was located. According to the map, the Martial Hall was surrounded by three-meter-high walls. The only way in was through the main gate or by climbing over.
Huo Feng wandered around the walls until he finally reached an unguarded area. He looked around and saw no one. Then he leaped over the wall and landed inside.
As soon as he entered, Huo Feng saw two armored guards approaching slowly with long spears in hand. Huo Feng's heart tightened; could it be that he had been discovered?
Huo Feng quickly hid in the bushes, holding his breath and preparing for battle at any moment.
However, the guard seemed to have not noticed Huo Feng and walked past him. Once the guard had moved on, Huo Feng finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Huo Feng looked around in the bushes and checked the map, only to find that there were no detailed markings here. This left Huo Feng in a dilemma, unsure of where to go next.
Unable to come up with a solution, Huo Feng had no choice but to get up and leave. As he leaped up, he reluctantly glanced back. But that one glance gave Huo Feng a glimmer of hope, so he returned to his original spot.
Huo Feng got up again and jumped onto the roof ahead. Now he could see most of the Martial Hall's layout.
Huo Feng was currently in a flowerbed located in a corner. Looking out at the larger area in the distance, everything was brightly lit, but there were also white ribbons hanging everywhere.
The brightest spot was undoubtedly the large square in the center. Huo Feng looked over there and saw a crowd of people; it was also where the most white ribbons were hanging.
Huo Feng did not know where the secret chamber was, so he decided to go take a look. If he could find someone to ask, he would be able to locate the secret chamber.
Thus, Huo Feng noted down the route, jumped down from the roof, and quietly made his way toward the square.
