Chapter 373 Uncle 5
Chapter 373 Uncle 5
After Duan Xifeng left, Ji Xingzhao lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then began to pack up.
He wants to go to Kyoto to find out the cause of his parents' death.
When the news of his parents' death reached back to the clan, he was still young. He only knew that he had encountered someone seeking revenge. The Ji family had sent someone out and came back to tell him that his parents' revenge had been avenged, but he didn't know who it was.
Ji Yanli told him that he needed to walk the rest of the way on his own, and that everything that should be taught to him had already been taught to him. Ji Xingzhao was no longer as foolish as he used to be to trust others. When Ji Yanli came out of the jade pendant and saw his face, Ji Xingzhao was shocked.
"Uncle?"
Ji Yanli nodded and said, "Keep the jade pendant. If you encounter danger, crush it and I will come to save you."
The two then separated.
Ji Yanli went to find Duan Xifeng. He found a new jade pendant to live in and stayed close to Duan Xifeng to watch the show.
Few people knew that Duan Xifeng was the master of Fengming Palace, not even Prince Duan and his mother. He wanted to disrupt the martial arts world and find an appropriate opportunity to come forward and destroy Fengming Palace to build momentum for himself.
His brother inherits the title, and he becomes the leader of the martial arts world. Isn't that the best of both worlds?
He was indeed successful in the original world, and those who disobeyed him were dealt with by Ji Xingzhao, who he sent. After he successfully ascended to the position of leader of the martial arts world, Ji Xingzhao's body had already declined and was of no use.
At this moment, Ji Yanli looked at Duan Xifeng who was staring at the sword manual, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
"What is this!"
He threw the sword manual down and said, "Ji Xingzhao is taking me for a fool! This is bullshit. How can I practice this?"
After venting his anger, he took the sword manual and studied it carefully.
This sword manual was copied by Ji Xingzhao. He asked to take a look at it on a whim. Ji Xingzhao didn't have time to copy it. It must have been written by him before, and it is most likely true.
It is normal that some of the content is difficult to understand since it can help people improve so much in a short period of time.
The scene of being slammed into the mud by Ji Xingzhao's sword was simply Duan Xifeng's nightmare. He had always been arrogant, and being defeated by someone who was inferior to him in every way was something Duan Xifeng could not accept at all.
Ji Yanli appeared in his dream and gave him some hints. After he had an idea, Duan Xifeng became even more crazy.
Ji Xingzhao was famous for his chivalrous deeds along the way. When Duan Xifeng heard about this reputation, he couldn't accept it.
Ji Xingzhao, who rushed to Shangjing, broke into Prince Duan's mansion at night. In the mansion, he met an unexpected person.
Bi Qiu?
Bi Qiu was accompanying the princess, helping her wash and dress. The Bi family was a martial arts family after all, but she treated herself like a maid and left herself in the dust.
"Princess, when will Brother Xifeng come back this time?"
Princess Duan said calmly, "Xifeng has his own things to do. A grown-up son is no longer under his mother's control, and he won't be hindered by the women in the harem."
After saying that, she softened her tone and patted Bi Qiu's hand: "But you treat him differently after all. Don't worry, he remembers everything you did for Xifeng."
Ji Xingzhao couldn't describe his mood at the moment, especially the shyness Bi Qiu showed when Princess Duan mentioned Duan Xifeng, which made Ji Xingzhao clench his fists.
He flashed and went to Prince Duan again. Prince Duan was already emaciated. He was telling his eldest son some secrets. When he heard the words "the princess's mother's family", Ji Xingzhao held his breath and listened carefully.
A few days later, a secret letter framing the Minister of Revenue appeared on the princess' bed.
The Minister of Revenue is the princess's mother's family.
Ji Xingzhao could not interfere in the affairs of the court, but he could let them fight among themselves first.
Just as Prince Duan and the Minister of Revenue were about to take ruthless action, and Duan Xifeng learned that he needed to disperse his power in order to practice the sword manual, a piece of news quietly spread in the martial arts world.
The leader of the evil cult Fengming Palace is Duan Xifeng, the second son of Prince Duan.
What kind of place is Fengming Palace? They commit all kinds of evil and are punishable by anyone in the martial arts world. If the people of Fengming Palace hadn't been so well hidden, they would have been wiped out by the martial arts world long ago.
This news spread from the martial arts world to the imperial court, and Prince Duan and his followers, who were exhausted from fighting with the Minister of Revenue, suddenly felt a headache.
There was no other reason, it was because Fengming Palace not only brought disaster to people in the martial arts world, but also harmed the children of many important officials in the court. When they heard this rumor, people in the court, including the emperor, looked at Prince Duan with strange eyes.
If you think about it carefully, those who suffered harm from Fengming Palace were all people who were not on good terms with Prince Duan, or they were Prince Duan’s political enemies, or they had disputes with Prince Duan.
Forget about the intrigues in the court, but you're also trying to do something shady here, right?
Even though Prince Duan denied the truth of the rumors and announced that he would sever ties with Duan Xifeng, it did not prevent the defeat of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Before this, the desperate Prince Duan and his eldest son strangled Princess Duan, who was devoted to her natal family.
Before her death, Princess Duan could no longer maintain her dignity and composure. Her hair was disheveled, and she went from shouting angrily to wailing for mercy, and finally was strangled to death with her eyes wide open.
The Duan Prince's Mansion had only been safe for a few days when an order was issued to search the house. When a shiny dragon robe was found, Prince Duan and his eldest son, who were still holding on to hope, looked as pale as death.
Bi Qiu, who was living in the palace, packed up and ran away when Princess Duan died. She went to find Duan Xifeng. Even without the Duan Palace, Duan Xifeng was still the master of Fengming Palace. She was also one of the few people who knew Duan Xifeng's identity in the martial arts world.
She likes Duan Xifeng, and Duan Xifeng's identity is only part of the reason. More importantly, she really loves this person.
Although Bi Qiu was weak, she had some martial arts skills. She traveled very quickly and it only took her three days to get from Shangjing to Fengming Palace.
Three days later, she arrived at the Fengming Palace headquarters and was stunned when she saw Duan Xifeng.
"West, west wind?"
Duan Xifeng had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, and he looked like a mad man who had reached a dead end.
"Xifeng, have you also heard about the news in the palace?"
"What happened to the palace?"
Duan Xifeng's voice was hoarse, like rough paper rubbed heavily on the table, which made people frown when they heard it.
Bi Qiu walked up to him and said worriedly, "The palace was ransacked, the prince and your elder brother were executed, there are wanted posters for you everywhere, and there are also wanted posters for you in the martial arts world."
These words stunned Duan Xifeng, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
What did it mean that the palace was ransacked, his father and brother were executed, and why was there a hunting order for him in the martial arts world?
"Somehow the news that you are the master of Fengming Palace got out. It was fine when the palace was still there, but after it was ransacked, your portrait was hung on the wanted warrant."
Still in the first position.
Duan Xifeng closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess at the moment, "Such a big thing, why didn't anyone in the palace tell——"
Having said this, he was startled, stood up and prepared to open the secret door to leave.
"Hahaha, Palace Master, it's too late to leave now."
The door was pushed open and several guardians of Fengming Palace walked in. These people were carefully selected by Duan Xifeng. They were cruel and ruthless, doing all kinds of evil, and each of them was on the wanted order.
He once thought that the worse these people were, the more famous he would be when he killed them, and the more discussion he would have about them. He had the royal palace behind him, so even these people had to behave like obedient dogs in front of him.
But he didn't expect that these people would retaliate and even take his life!
When the right protector raised his knife to chop at her, Bi Qiu screamed and threw her whole body forward, hitting the tip of the knife.
She turned her head in disbelief. Duan Xifeng was trembling as he tried to escape by pulling open the secret door. He looked like a stray dog.
And at that moment, in order to avoid the attack of the right protector, Duan Xifeng pushed her to buy time for himself.
"West, west wind?"
After the right protector's knife drank blood, he laughed ferociously, and the tip of the knife kept spinning in Bi Qiu's body. Seeing Bi Qiu's pale face and fear because of the pain, he laughed out loud.
At this moment, the others attacked Duan Xifeng together.
"Hahahaha, I heard that the Palace Master had abandoned his martial arts, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true. Then this head worth ten thousand taels was obtained too easily."
According to the wanted order, anyone who brings Duan Xifeng's head to the Wulin Alliance will receive ten thousand taels of gold.
This amount of money is enough to provide a person with food and drink for ten lifetimes.
Such a large sum of money was paid by all the victims harmed by Fengming Palace. In order to build momentum in a short period of time, Fengming Palace killed children from martial arts families or important officials of the court.
They paid together to buy Duan Xifeng's life!
Duan Xifeng's hair was grabbed, his eyes widened in horror, bloodshot.
"I am your master. I rescued you and yet you are so ungrateful!"
"Master? Hahaha, bah! I always seek revenge, not gratitude. You saved me on your own initiative, not me begging you to save me. Now that your head is so valuable, just be a good person and let us collect the ten thousand taels of gold. This time, brothers, we will definitely accept your favor!"
"No!!! Let me go! My father will not let you go!"
"Your father? The Duan Wangchuan who was demoted to a commoner? Hahahaha, he can't even protect himself, I'm afraid his head will fall off sooner than yours!"
Duan Xifeng's neck was cut open. In order to make him suffer, those people not only cut the wound at the beginning, but also used a blunt knife to cut open his head bit by bit.
Bi Qiu fell to the side. When he saw this scene before he died, his whole body trembled non-stop. He was frightened to death before his blood stopped flowing.
The night before his execution, Prince Duan was killed in the cell. His lower body was cut off, his limbs were chopped off, and his head was thrown away somewhere unknown. He died without any dignity.
Ji Yanli, who was in Fengming Palace, put on a human skin mask and took Duan Xifeng's head to collect the bounty, but he left when the human skin mask suddenly fell off.
Everyone in Fengming Palace is guilty of heinous crimes and deserves death. Once you enter the Wulin Alliance, there is no hope of coming out alive.
He came back to Ji Xingzhao and saw him kneeling in front of his parents' grave holding Prince Duan's head.
"Master," Ji Xingzhao prefers to call him Master rather than his uncle.
If it weren't for his master, he might have been foolishly deceived by Duan Xifeng. His enemy, the murderer of his father and mother, had fooled him around. I'm afraid his father would be so angry that he would die again if he saw this in the underworld.
"Duan Xifeng died. Master helped me, right?"
Ji Yanli lowered his eyes and said, "Those who do evil will eventually perish. This is his fate."
After Ji Xingzhao kowtowed in front of his parents' grave and chattered about recent events, there was reluctance in his eyes when he stood up.
"Master, are you leaving too?"
The people in the clan have never been close to him, but Ji Xingzhao is still clear about the character of this uncle. The master is a "clan uncle" and not a "clan uncle". He has always had a vague guess in his heart that the master will not stay with him for too long and will always leave.
Ji Yanli nodded: "Your revenge has been taken. What are you going to do next?"
"Heaven and earth are my home, I am free and at peace, and I take my revenge with joy."
Now that his great revenge has been taken, he feels more at peace. As for the Ji family, he has no intention of going back, but he will not become enemies with them either. Let them just live in peace.
