Chapter 84 Sky Gang Sect
On the evening of May 21st, Li Fei rode a dark gold 'Qilin' under the protection of the Wu'an guards to Baoyun Temple.
The temple's main gate had already been closed, and if he wanted to offer incense, he could only do so early the next day.
However, Li Fei wasn't there to offer incense.
He had received news that Hao Yi had come to Datong Prefecture City, and was currently at Baoyun Temple.
Boom, boom, boom.
Li Fei knocked on the door of Baoyun Temple.
A moment later, a small door opened, and a bald head peeked out from behind it:
"Patron, may I ask what brings you here?"
"Hello, I heard that Hao Yi is here, I've come to find him, I am his student."
Li Fei said politely.
The young monk who opened the door curiously sized up Li Fei and asked, "Is your name Li Fei, patron?"
"Yes."
"Then please wait a moment."
The monk closed the door, and the sound of his retreating footsteps could be heard behind it.
A short while later, the small door opened again. The same monk, breathing heavily, handed a thick tome to Li Fei:
"Patron Li, this is a book that Patron Hao Yi asked me to give you. He said he will not see you tonight and will not see you in the future either. It's best you go back."
"..."
Li Fei silently took the heavy tome from the monk's hands.
As expected, these tomes were likely the teachings passed down through Hao Yi's lineage.
"Please convey a message to my teacher for me."
Li Fei looked into the young monk's eyes as he spoke.
"Patron, please speak."
The monk nodded earnestly.
...
Ten minutes later, the young monk entered a Buddhist hall.
In the great hall, besides the impressive Buddha statue, there were two people.
One was Hao Yi; the other was Master Yun Shen.
"How did it go?"
Yun Shen looked toward the monk who had run back to report, asking kindly.
"Abbot, that Patron Li accepted the book and asked me to deliver a message to Patron Hao."
"What did he say?"
Hao Yi looked at the young monk.
The young monk tried to maintain a serious expression, imitating Li Fei's demeanor as he spoke:
"He said, 'The student will do what he believes is right.'"
Hao Yi was momentarily in a daze.
He remembered the incident where bandits attacked a village outside Xing City, and Gu Zhenhui, the Chief, personally asked him to help.
Actually, Gu Zhenhui was clearly using moral coercion at that time, and Hao Yi was well aware of it.
Back then, Li Fei had said to him, "Teacher, please do what you believe is right."
Now, Li Fei had repeated those words back to Hao Yi.
Only this time, it was his student who would do what he believed was right.
"I understand, thank you for your efforts."
Hao Yi thanked the young monk.
"Zhiyuan, you may return to your room to rest."
Master Yun Shen spoke.
After the monk had left, Hao Yi proudly looked towards Yun Shen, asking:
"How is my student?"
Yun Shen replied seriously, "Stronger than you were at his age."
"Hahaha."
Hao Yi laughed heartily for a rare moment.
He then composed himself and looked out towards the night sky beyond the great gate, his gaze full of determination:
"Therefore, he must not end up like I did!"
...
Li Fei, holding the tome Hao Yi had given him, took a car back to Wuda.
Returning to his dorm room, he switched on the desk lamp and flipped through the book on the desk.
As he had guessed, the tome indeed documented the lineage and teachings of Hao Yi's sect.
Today, through the records provided by the archives, Li Fei had learned that Hao Yi's lineage belonged to a sect known as the Sky Gang Sect, which had once flourished but had later declined.
The founding master of the Sky Gang Sect was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Later, the sect suffered a great calamity, leading to the loss of many teachings, and thus the sect declined with each generation.
By the time it reached Hao Yi's generation, the sect was nearly reduced to a single line of transmission, and it had been over a hundred years since any disciple had built the Martial Arts Foundation to become a Martial Arts Master.
Still, the tome Hao Yi gave to Li Fei recorded four complete cultivation methods for the Martial Arts Foundation!
Building the Martial Arts Foundation was not simply a matter of absorbing five different Implants in the correct order. It involved complex Cultivation Methods specific to each stage, tailored toward nurturing different Implants, as well as dealing with the interference between different Implants, coordination, and a series of other issues.
Thus, each Cultivation Method for the Tao Foundation was incredibly precious, the utmost secret among secrets, and a symbol of the depth of a sect's heritage.
To be recognized as a major Martial Arts Sect, not only must one possess at least one Martial Arts Grandmaster, but also at least three different types of Cultivation Methods for the Martial Arts Foundation.
When the Sky Gang Sect was passed down to Hao Yi, there were four types of cultivation methods for the Tao Foundation, and none of them were ordinary Martial Arts Foundations, including the top-level "Mixed Element Heavenly Gold" Foundation!
Besides this, the book also recorded more than a dozen martial techniques of the Sky Gang Sect. Although their grade did not reach the level of "Vajra Seal" and "Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill," they were definitely top-notch martial techniques in the World.
And then there were the Swordsmanship Insights and cultivation insights personally written by Hao Yi.
These were far more precious than powerful martial techniques!
The last part of the book contained Hao Yi's advice and guidance for Li Fei's future cultivation.
When he wrote this, he probably didn't know that Li Fei had already made a Breakthrough, so he started writing from the "Unity" part.
After entering the Tao Foundation Stage, how to nurture the original Implant, how to introduce new Implants, how to deal with conflicts between different Implants, what issues to be aware of at each stage… He wrote meticulously, all the way from the Qi Change Stage to the construction of the Martial Arts Foundation.
Extending to tens of thousands of words in total.
That's why this booklet was so thick and heavy.
Clearly, it wasn't something that could have been written on a whim; Hao Yi had already been preparing it for some time.
He might have also been worried that one day he wouldn't be able to give guidance to Li Fei, so he wrote these contents in advance.
Li Fei slowly closed the booklet, calmed himself in his seat, then stood up and placed the booklet in the safe of his dormitory.
Then, he used the One Leaf Covering Eyes Technique and the Vajra Seal·Treasure Vase, and silently left the dormitory.
The Wu'an guards assigned to protect him were not with him at all times, only following him out of campus when needed.
Soon, Li Fei left Wuda without drawing anyone's attention.
He skillfully threaded through the streets, hiding in a shadow to employ the Vajra Seal·Truth Listening to enhance his perception and ensure no one was following or secretly watching him; then he manipulated the Ghost Slash Blade to transform, turning the detached handle into a mask, which he wore on his face, and changed into black Martial Arts Clothes.
Since he couldn't resolve the matter as Li Fei,
He decided to handle it as the Green-faced Ghost!
...
Under the night, Fenghua Street was resplendent and bustling with crowds.
No matter how many events shook the city, at least at night, this street always held the most charm.
Tonight, the largest dance hall on Fenghua Street, "Yuan Xiang Pool," was open for business as usual, with countless young masters, wealthy merchants, and even officials coming to indulge in pleasures.
Each floor's stage performed different songs and dances, some lively, others quiet.
There was no dance performance on the sixth floor of "Yuan Xiang Pool," but many dreamed of ascending to the sixth floor, for the legendary Feng Sanniang was there.
Snap—
A window on the sixth floor was gently shaken open by a surge of Force.
The next second, a figure flashed in from outside the window and silently landed on the carpet.
"What—"
Whoosh!
The figure that landed instantly vanished from the spot, leaving a long gash on the carpet as if cut by a blade, stretching forward.
Swoosh—
A streak of saber light flashed at the end of the corridor, blood raining down, staining the walls and carpet red.
Two guards were split in half, their organs spilling out of their bodies.
Li Fei pushed open the door in front of him with a palm and rushed in, casually closing the door behind him.
As soon as he entered the room, three Flying Knives with deep blue Force shot towards him.
Li Fei swung his saber to deflect the three Flying Knives, the Force attached to them spreading like a creeping disease upon contact, spreading along the Ghost Slash Blade and then onto Li Fei's palm.
And then, there was no "and then"...
"Qing Gongzi?!"
The one who threw the Flying Knives was Feng Sanniang herself, who was standing in front of another door, ready to flee.
She stopped only after seeing who had come, frowning in inquiry.
However, she still maintained a defensive posture, ready to leave through the other door at any moment.
"Sanniang, long time no see."
Li Fei looked at the beauty not far ahead, his eyes cold.
Feng Sanniang had one hand on the door, frowning and saying:
"What do you mean, Qing Gongzi? Why have you suddenly barged into my boudoir?"
"That's something I should be asking you, Sanniang. What exactly have you been doing in secret?"
Li Fei said.
Feng Sanniang looked at him with a puzzled face:
"Is there a misunderstanding, Qing Gongzi? Haven't our dealings been smooth? If there's something to say, just say it."
Li Fei looked into her eyes:
"I've always had a question, which is how 'Beast King' Yu Longqing managed to see through my concealment technique and knew I would ultimately pick up the goods at Drum Stone Town? I had the people who knew the real pickup location thoroughly investigated afterward, and there were no issues. So, I was thinking, what if the problem isn't on my side, but on the supplier's side?"
The supplier was Luo Yifu from the provincial city, and Feng Sanniang had introduced him, so she, too, could know the real pickup location of Li Fei.
Feng Sanniang hesitated for a moment, scoffed and said:
"You don't suspect that I tipped off Yu Longqing, do you? What would I gain from that? How could it benefit me?"
"Yes, that's why although I had my suspicions, I still thought it unlikely to be you because killing me would benefit you in no way, and you wouldn't be able to control the market for Exotic Beast Food."
Li Fei nodded, "But what if there was a possibility? A possibility that by killing me, you could eliminate a future threat."
Feng Sanniang's gaze flickered, then she laughed, "What kind of possibility?"
"What if you were the one who killed Zhang Zongyang? Wouldn't you then have a reason to kill me?"
Li Fei uttered each word deliberately.
