class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng was shocked. Looking back, he saw the Dog Lord leaning against the door with his arms crossed, watching him. Suspicion darkened his gaze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m looking for. . . Eh?\u201d Han Changsheng started, then added, \u201cWhen did you come? Why didn\u2019t I notice your breath?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who practiced martial arts were very sensitive to breathing. Just like the night before, Han Changsheng knew there were three people following him. He even knew where they were. But, just then, he didn\u2019t realize anyone was behind him until the Dog Lord opened his mouth. Unless An Yuan had practiced the tortoise breathing method, he was unsure how he managed it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tortoise breathing method was an internal method meant to hide breath. Since the Tianyuan mountain villa was dominated by internal skill, it wouldn\u2019t have been difficult for him to learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan didn\u2019t answer his question. He repeated, \u201cWhat are you looking for?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng curled his lips. \u201cClues.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having doubts, An Yuan asked, \u201cNot sleeping in the middle of the night and coming here to look for clues. Why not wait until the day?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t sleep, I came out to walk.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan sneered. \u201cWhat did you find?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI just got here by the time you showed up,\u201d Han Changsheng said, out of good excuses, \u201cI haven\u2019t had time to find anything!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan went to Han Changsheng\u2019s side, eyeing a bookcase that had fallen. Squatting down, he saw that dozens of books had scattered across the ground. Han Changsheng was reading them, but he didn\u2019t overturn them. They had been there for fifteen years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you want to find the secret script,\u201d An Yuan said, \u201cI suggest you save your efforts. This villa has been abandoned for fifteen years. Even if the script was here, it\u2019s long since been removed.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blinking, Han Changsheng knew An Yuan misunderstood.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWho said I came here to find the secret script?\u201d He asked. Of course, if he could find it, it would save him from having to look at the Dog Lord all day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan shrugged. \u201cSo you say. I just wanted to remind you not to waste your time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rising from the ground, something caught his eye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turning away, Han Changsheng bared his fangs at An Yuan, then pulled an exasperated, mocking face. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever considered that maybe your father hid the script in a secret place, one even you won\u2019t know? Maybe yours truly will find it.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe secret script of the hundred blooming flowers internal method has two volumes,\u201d An Yuan said, \u201cThe first volume was stolen by the Tianning, fifteen years ago\u2014\u2014Or, as you say, by someone else. My father burned the second volume.\u201d He pointed to a dark, black scorch mark on the wall. \u201cIt burned right there.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou,\u201d Han Changsheng said, breathless, \u201cAren\u2019t you an amnesiac?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan raised his eyebrows. \u201cOh, I learned it from Yi Laosan.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng gave him a vicious look, unable to hide his disappointment. As Gu Mingxiao said, the murderer killed people, robbed them for their scripts, and planted evidence to frame the Tianning Cult. The murderers from fifteen years earlier might be the same as those who assassinated Elder Xian Yue of the Ming Yue Sect. But, who was it?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou said,\u201d An Yuan started, \u201cFifteen years ago, it wasn\u2019t the Tianning Cult. How do you know? Is there evidence?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng licked his lips. Of course, there was a lot of evidence. The number of murderers and how they committed the crimes just didn\u2019t match how the Tianning operated. But, he couldn\u2019t just tell that to An Yuan, or his identity would be exposed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng pointed to a piece of broken furniture. \u201cThe murderer used a knife as a weapon.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo?\u201d An Yuan asked. \u201cDon\u2019t the people of the demonic cult use weapons?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng thought about it, then asked, \u201cDo you know where your father is buried?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan\u2019s murderous spirit startled him. Fiercely, he asked, \u201cWhat do you intend to do? I won\u2019t disturb the dead!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng bitterly rubbed his nose. What else could he do to a corpse? He wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy! He wanted to see the injuries, to figure out what the killer\u2019s martial arts was. With An Yuan\u2019s attitude, though, it was obvious he\u2019d never get the chance. \u201cNothing, I was only asking.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng continued to look for clues. An Yuan stopped talking, but eyed his every move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was where Huangfu Tugen was murdered. There were pools of black blood near where the bookshelf once stood, mostly concentrated there. There was little blood anywhere else. The book was also burned close to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing his eyes, Han Changsheng tried to imagine the scene fifteen years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huangfu Tugen was seriously injured, and he didn\u2019t have any chance to fight back. Because of the evidence that he had only one death-wound, he didn\u2019t die immediately after he was injured. The first volume of the secret script was stolen, and he lit the second volume with a candlestick in desperation&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen did the masked bandits break into the villa?\u201d Han Changsheng asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the morning,\u201d An Yuan said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMorning?\u201d Han Changsheng frowned. That was strange. When Huangfu Tugen died, it would\u2019ve had to be nighttime for the candle to be lit. He would\u2019ve had to be injured before burning the second volume. If it was in the daytime, he would have had to light the fire first. Would the murderer have given him time to do it? Weren\u2019t murderers supposed to kill people at night and rob during the day?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan listened to him. Walking forward, he bent down to touch the black ash on the floor, deep in thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng looked for more information in the room. Not finding any more clues, he stood up and said, \u201cLet\u2019s go back and rest.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan followed him out of the room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they left, Han Changsheng looked up. The starry sky in the west was brilliant. At a glance, he caught sight of An Yuan\u2019s star and his star of disaster that the Impermanence deities once pointed out to him. An Yuan\u2019s stars were a little dim, but the disaster star was dazzling.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His lips flat, Han Changsheng yawned and started back towards his room to sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next day, he rose early and went to the yard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Yuan hadn\u2019t risen yet, but Yi Laosan was awake. He was building a fire in the courtyard, ready to cook porridge. Some other bandits were with him. Some sharpened their knives, while others patrolled the outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng moved to Yi Laosan\u2019s side. Seeing him, Yi Laosan rose and said, \u201cMaster Yue Peng.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waving his hand, Han Changsheng sat down beside him and helped add firewood to the flame. \u201cTell me what happened fifteen years ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat do you want to know?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat happened that day?\u201d Han Changsheng asked, \u201cWas it morning, afternoon, or evening? Who killed the villa master? Did he wear a mask? What did he look like?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan sat in silence for a long time. Finally, he said, \u201cI remember I had just gotten up that morning, I\u00a0 was still inside eating breakfast. I heard a scream outside, and there was a fight. I ran out and saw several men in masks, cutting down people in the courtyard.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was early, so there were several people who hadn\u2019t woken up yet, and they were unprepared. When I went out, there was blood everywhere. At the time, I was just working in the villa, only fifteen or sixteen years old. I was scared, so I ran back and saw the young master\u2019s maid hiding him in a cabinet.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI ran back to my room and hid under the bed. It wasn\u2019t quiet until noon. After that, I ran out and saw the whole villa in chaos.\u201d Yi Laosan swallowed. \u201cMany people died, all the rooms were in a mess. Every valuable thing was stolen.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng frowned. \u201cWhat about your villa leader?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I finally came out,\u201d Yi Laosan said, \u201cSomeone had already carried out his body. Those evil cult bastards killed him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo, you didn\u2019t see who killed him?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan nodded, then hesitated. \u201cMaster Yue Peng. . . Why do I always feel like. . . you want to exonerate the demonic cult?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng\u2019s eyebrows rose. \u201cYou didn\u2019t see it happen. Why are you sure it was them who slaughtered your villa? They won\u2019t need to cover their faces!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan clenched his fist. He was angry, but had to restrain himself. Finally, he said, \u201cThe old villa leader hated injustice like poison. He had long said that he wanted to exterminate them. That\u2019s why the demons held a grudge against our villa.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen they came here, we were in a state of great agitation. Everyone\u2019s doors and windows were tightly locked, no one dared to go out,\u201d Yi Laosan said. \u201cIt was said that the devil cult brought a child with them. It was their successor, only four or five years old.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn our Tiandao prefecture, there is a kind of holy bird, called the Hu Lingniao, which protected us from bad weather. But, the little boy said he wanted to eat the bird\u2019s wings. Overnight, all of them were killed. . .\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPfft!\u201d Han Changsheng almost spat into the porridge pot. \u201cYou likened slaughtering birds for food to killing people?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf they were not the killers, then who else!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng didn\u2019t bother to argue with him. \u201cSo, nobody saw Huangfu Tugen\u2019s murderer?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan thought about it. \u201cThere was! The old housekeeper, Shi Laoniu, should have seen it. When the villains of the demonic cult broke in, everyone was in a panic, but I saw him go to the old villa master\u2019s room to wake him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhere is he now?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan\u2019s face was colored with embarrassment. He sighed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhy are you sighing, answer!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe old housekeeper was smart. He knew how to read, knew how to calculate accounts. The Evil Wind Gang captured him. He keeps accounts for them now.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng\u2019s eyes widened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Evil Wind Gang? That was the bandit nest they said made their lives difficult!<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey took all the old housekeeper\u2019s family,\u201d Yi Laosan said. \u201cTheir lives were in their hands, so he had no choice but to help them.\u201d He hesitated, then fell to his knees in front of Han Changsheng. \u201cMaster Yue Peng, I know it\u2019s a bad request, but since your martial arts skills are so extensive, it should be no problem for you. Please help us save the old housekeeper and his family from the Evil Wind Gang.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng lips twitched.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why didn\u2019t you say anything last night! If you didn\u2019t dare say it last night, then don\u2019t say it now! Now you\u2019ve highlighted what I can do for you, don\u2019t you realize our friendship already ended before it started?! I am the very demon cult leader you demonized. Do you really expect me to help you rush into the mountains and save people? Don\u2019t you know that my bad name is in danger?!<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that Han Changsheng didn\u2019t answer, Yi Laosan thought he wouldn\u2019t agree. He repeatedly kowtowed to him, \u201cMaster Yue Peng, please. . .\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng impatiently flicked his fingers, and Yi Laosan was knocked to the ground by an invisible force. He looked up at Han Changsheng, confusion in his gaze.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng couldn\u2019t breathe as he acquiesced, \u201cWhere is the Evil Wind Gang?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yi Laosan\u2019s expression immediately shifted, his smile bright. Pointing west, he said, \u201cThree miles that way. Master Yue Peng, I\u2019m going to call up all our brothers. Master Yue Peng will help us fight and kill them all!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng raised his hand to stop him. \u201cHey, don\u2019t be in a hurry. It\u2019s okay to go in the afternoon. Your young master is tired from all the travel. Let him sleep for a few more hours. I need to ask you one more thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quickly, Yi Laosan said, \u201cPlease ask, Master Yue, I will tell you what I know.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking around to see that no one else was close, Han Changsheng leaned up to Yi Laosan\u2019s ear and whispered, \u201cDo you know where the old villa leader\u2019s tomb is? I want to burn incense on his grave.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ll take you with me after breakfast!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng waved, \u201cOh, no need. You tell me where, and I\u2019ll go by myself. I have something private to say to him, I don\u2019t want too many people around.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurriedly, Yi Laosan said, \u201cOkay, okay, it\u2019s my abruptness.\u201d Pointing in another direction, he said, \u201cThere\u2019s a cemetery there, where all the generations of villa leaders are buried.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nodding, Han Changsheng looked where he pointed and said, \u201cYour porridge is nearly ready.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurriedly unloading the pot from the fire, Yi Laosan nodded. Han Changsheng smiled, then stealthily turned away from the villa while it was still early. Using his lightness skills, he ran where Yi Laosan pointed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe the old housekeeper knew nothing like Yi Laosan. Before saving them, he wanted to examine the old villa leader\u2019s body. If he could find a clue, it would be great, and he can skip those side tasks of saving the old housekeeper.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, he arrived at the cemetery. As Yi Laosan said, it was the Huangfu family\u2019s tomb. An Yuan\u2019s parents were both buried there. The servants of the Tianyuan mountain villa built the tomb after Huangfu Tugen died. At that time, the villa had already collapsed, so the cemetery was very simple. It was just a husband and wife\u2019s tomb. An Yuan\u2019s parents were buried side by side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng said he would do it. Raising his sleeves, he excavated the soil with his scabbard. Even if it was just a tomb of husband and wife; he didn\u2019t have the dedicated skills to leave things undamaged. He simply raided An Yuan\u2019s family cemetery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, he opened the tomb and dragged out the coffin. Then he pushed open the lid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside, was only bones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huangfu Tugen had been dead for fifteen years. Naturally, the body couldn&#8217;t be intact like a corpse that had only just died. Blood and flesh had long turned into a husk, leaving only bones in their wake. To study, he climbed to the coffin\u2019s side and turned over the skeleton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, he found a wound on it. It ran deep on its back, from the left rib cage all the way to the right. He could tell a knife caused it. The whole injury connected like an arc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A knife killer? There were quite a few knife sects in the Jianghu. Even in this neighborhood, the probability that the mountain bandits used knives would be very high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng kept looking, finding another injured rib. The blade marks on the back were deeper than the front. The killer stabbed him from behind, going through his body. The wound was the murderer\u2019s second strike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first one was from his front to his back, and the transverse split made him lose his mobility when his spine was injured. The second strike was the fatal one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He closed his eyes and tried to picture the scene again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huangfu Tugen stood in his study. Someone immobilized him from behind and stole the secret script. He fell to the ground, and the candlestick might have been overturned in the process. He tried his best to ignite the second volume with a candle. The murderer was angry and stabbed him again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A murderous aura emerged from behind!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Han Changsheng subconsciously ducked. Did he imagine too deeply, could he feel the killer\u2019s murderous aura?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening his eyes, he saw An Yuan standing before him, rage burning in his gaze.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ce5693 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget
