Chapter 22: Trapped in the Tiger's Den

Hu Qingpeng's heart was shocked. Although the masked man had not spoken yet, the man's eyes and figure were so familiar that it was once deeply engraved in his mind. That was his master, Yin Tianyun, among the seven swords of Hengshan! Yin Tianyun lurked in the Hengshan Sect for many years, and no one among his fellow disciples knew his true identity and origin. Even Hu Qingpeng was kept in the dark. Since Yin Tianyun changed his mind and left Hengshan, no news about him has been heard in the world, as if the world had evaporated. Hu Qingpeng was very afraid of this deep-seated master. He suddenly appeared to take action tonight, which was beyond Hu Qingpeng's expectations. I wonder what purpose he had? Should he kill himself to silence, or to find trouble for Yan Wu? If it was the latter, he could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and stay out of the matter. If it was the former, it would be better to find a good escape route first.

When Yin Tianyun saw the expression on Hu Qingpeng's face, he knew that his apprentice had recognized him. He immediately showed a warning in his eyes, indicating that Hu Qingpeng should not destroy his identity. Hu Qingpeng's head was slightly slight, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

Yan Wu said sternly: "You are not asking about the truth. What is the purpose of poisoning our disciples in the underworld? This is the grudge between the underworld and the Demon Sect. If you want to intervene, you should think about your own weight! If you take a wrong step, you will be a terrible end!"

Yin Tianyun said lightly: "I know who you are, and how powerful the underworld is. You don't have to threaten me with words. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will forgive you for your unintentional mistakes and spare your life for the time being. If you don't toast and drink, I don't mind blowing you open and letting you end up with the same fate." While saying that, he pointed to the corpse on the ground. In fact, he didn't want to interfere in this matter, but when Yan Wu was ridiculing Hu Qingpeng, he accidentally scolded him, so he took action in advance and killed all Yan Wu's ambush.

Yan Wuhu laughed and said, "Cooperate? You killed my people and still want to cooperate with me?" He wondered, where did he offend this evil star? Poor he didn't know the relationship between Yin Tianyun and Hu Qingpeng, and he really couldn't understand it even if he broke his head.

Yin Tianyun said: "If I don't kill these ants, if anyone in it informs me and reveals the secret of our cooperation, wouldn't I have been in vain?"

Yan Wuqi said: "Why do you think I will cooperate with you?"

Yin Tianyun said: "It's very simple. You only have two ways to choose. Either take me to find Yan Ao himself or die at my hands tonight! Even ants are alive, let alone people like you who hold great power? Once a person loses his life, power, wealth, and beauty can't enjoy it. You have to think clearly! Within ten breaths, give me the answer!" His tone was arrogant, as if he had the power of life and death of the other party.

Yan Wu was shocked. The real name of the underworld sect leader has never been known to outsiders. How could he know that the master of this underworld is Yan Ao? And he actually dared to challenge Yan Ao alone! If he was either crazy, he had a unique skill, and was not afraid of the huge and profound power of the underworld. He said in surprise: "It seems that you did not attack the underworld on a whim, but had already planned it! Who are you?"

Yin Tianyun frowned and said, "Where do you come from so much nonsense! Everyone in the underworld is selfish and has always pursued the creed of putting personal interests first. Don't tell me that you will work hard for Yan Ao! My goal is only Yan Ao. I want to get my own things from him, and I don't want to hurt people's lives. But if you refuse to cooperate, it's another matter!"

Yan Wu said inconspicuously: "Then why don't you come to my sect leader directly? Isn't it worry-free?"

Yin Tianyun cursed: "Fuck! If I knew where Yan Ao Gou Thief was hiding, I would have been here to kill him long ago. Would you still use you to teach me a lesson? Humph, Yan Ao was afraid that I would come back one day to seek revenge on him, so he had moved the Underworld from Fengdu thirty years ago. Now, the real place of the Underworld is only the Nine Ghosts in the Underworld. Who would I look for if I don't look for you?"

Yan Wu was shocked and remembered a secret news circulating in the sect. It turned out that the sudden relocation of the underworld was indeed a cause! At this time, he knew Yin Tianyun's identity and purpose, and was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "We cannot interfere in the dispute between the sect leader. But if you want to conquer me, you should at least let me see my strength, right?"

Yin Tianyun laughed and said, "Okay! Let's see if you can block my three successful attacks!"

Yan Wu did not dare to be careless at all. He put away the poisonous stinger and used his palms ten successful powers, and said in a deep voice: "Please give me advice!"

The divine light suddenly lit up in Yin Tianyun's eyes, covering his opponent coldly, and his momentum suddenly rose several times. A strong wind gushed out, shaking Yan Wu's clothes. He took two steps calmly, straight out his right fist, aiming at Yan Wu's chest. He saw that his fist speed was neither fast nor slow, and his fist path was plain, which was actually a "black tiger heart-to-heart" that everyone in the world would use.

Hu Qingpeng originally thought he would use some amazing martial arts, but he didn't know that it was an ordinary boxing move. With Yan Wu's skills, how could he get into it? Yi Wufeng shouted in a low voice: "Great skill is as clumsy as you can, you will return to the truth!"

Yan Wu felt that the opponent's punch seemed slow and fast, and the fist force enveloped the space around him, blocking the dodge route, forcing him to resist head-on and fight head-on. Yan Wu was shocked. Could this be the ultimate martial arts that the legendary top Chinese Super League masters achieved - returning to the truth?! If this is true, even if he can transform into three, he will not be his opponent! As the enemy's fist approached, the pressure in front of him increased by multiples, making him breathing difficult, and blood was almost flowing out of his seven orifices. Yan Wu glared at his eyes, and suddenly let out a sharp roar, his palms desperately, and his palms were thrust out, instantly changing a hundred palm shadows, either chopping or cutting, hitting the enemy's fist.

With a loud bang, a three-foot-deep pit appeared on the ground between the two. The whirlwind rolled into the sky with countless gravels and soil. Yan Wu took five steps in a row. Every time he took a step back, he stepped out a footprint of a half foot deep on the long street. Blood spurted out and his chest was undulating.

Yin Tianyun stood with his hands behind his back, and his protective energy shook all the stones and sands that had splashed off. He asked proudly: "Are you convinced?"

Yan Wu tied his hands on his chest, crossed his thumbs, made a strange gesture, and whispered: "I am convinced! Let your orders in the future."

Yin Tianyun laughed: "A person who knows the times is a hero! If you follow me, your future benefits will definitely be indispensable! This is Xiao Huandan from Shaolin Temple, please take it." Then he took out two pills and threw them at Yan Wu.

Yan Wuming knew that only one of them was a pill that truly cures internal injuries, so he took the two pills together without hesitation. He pointed at Yi Wufeng and others and said, "These people have heard secrets that they shouldn't have heard. Should they silence them?"

Yin Tianyun shook his head and said, "I am determined to be Yan Ao, and I don't want to make more enemies now. If I am enemies with the Seven Sword Sects, the Demon Sects, and the Tang Sect at the same time, it would be extremely irrational." He looked up at Yi Wufeng and others, "As long as you swear not to publicize the matter tonight, I will let you leave."

Hu Qingpeng hurriedly said, "One word is certain!" After the three of them made a poisonous oath, they quickly left the scene and returned to their residences without mentioning them.

The next morning, Hu Qingpeng told his companions that he had to go to the Tianxia Society's headquarters to meet Zhang Yukun. Since this matter involved several major gangs such as the Tianxia Society, Baiyun Sect, Yanyulou, etc., it involved a huge conspiracy. Hu Qingpeng did not want his companions to get involved too deeply, so as not to be in danger of their lives, so he made up his mind to go alone. Before he left, Tang Xue simply disguised himself to avoid encountering Hu Liang's group of people, and would not go back.

The Tianxiahui General Assembly is located on the east side of Yuelu Mountain, with the back of the mountains and water. The manor covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres. A road with eight fast horses can be laid in front of the door, which is extremely grand. The inside and outside of the manor are decorated with lights and colorful colors. The disciples of the Tianxiahui are busy and full of festive atmosphere are everywhere. From time to time, a team of horse and carriages are galloping by, carrying a full of goods into the villa.

Hu Qingpeng came alone with a sword, but did not wear any sign of the World Club, which was very eye-catching. The eight burly men guarding the gate were arranged on both sides of the door. The leading man saw Hu Qingpeng approaching from afar and greeted him, "Stop! Which road is my friend? Report your name first!"

Hu Qingpeng clasped his fists and said, "I am a friend of Wei Hanxiang and Wei's helm. After his instruction, I came to ask for a meeting with Master Zhang Yukun. Please inform me."

The big man frowned slightly and said suspiciously: "I basically know Old Wei's friends, but I have never seen a person like you! Besides, he had just had an accident a few days ago, where did you get his message? Could it be that you can drive away ghosts and gods?" The more he said, the colder he was. He pressed the hilt of the knife with one hand, obviously treating him as a liar.

Hu Qingpeng calmly said: "What do you call this big brother? Could it be the friend of Master Wei?"

The big man said, "My name is Lan Yong, I have a life-long friendship with Lao Wei... Hey, why did you ask me in reverse?"

Hu Qingpeng whispered: "It's important, I have to act cautiously. Brother Lan, I am here before Master Wei died, and I know who the murderer was! There are so many people here, and after I pay my respects to Lord Zhang, I will come one by one." Hu Lingquan, Deng Dingnan, and other people in the World Association have been bribed and have a desire to be rebellious, so he did not dare to believe Lan Yong at the beginning. If he believed the other party wrongly, he would definitely die today.

Lan Yong was shocked all over and almost burst into tears, but he immediately realized that it was not the time to make a sound. He glanced around and said in a deep voice: "How do I know if what you said is true or false?"

Hu Qingpeng took two steps, lit up the bronze medal left by Wei Hanxiang that day, quickly put it back in his arms, and smiled and said, "Did you believe it now?"

After a quick glance, Lan Yong had confirmed that the other party was holding a bronze medal specially made by the rudder of the Tianxiahui branch. This bronze medal was a certificate of the identity of each rudder. Unless the holder died accidentally, it would never fall into the hands of others. Lan Yong had no doubt at the moment and personally led Hu Qingpeng through the side door to the reception room on the west side of the lobby. Lan Yong asked for tea to enter the guest room, accused him of guilt, and immediately went to the inner hall to ask Zhang Yukun to come forward.

Hu Qingpeng sat and waited for a while, a strange man walked into the room and said, "Princess, please come with me!" Hu Qingpeng asked, "Where is Brother Lan Yong Lan?" The man said, "Lan Yong must go back to the gate to serve on duty, and cannot leave his post without hesitation. I will be responsible for greeting guests." Hu Qingpeng frowned and followed the other party to the backyard.

Through the courtyard, he came to a secret room. A middle-aged man was already waiting in the room. When he saw Hu Qingpeng coming, he stood up and smiled and said, "This little brother has a very good face. I wonder which senior's high-level footman? Please forgive me for negligence." He had a square face and big ears, his temples on both sides were bulging, his skin was slightly pale, and he always had a kind smile on his face. His body shape was slightly fat, but he had a majesty in his behavior.

Hu Qingpeng always felt that the other party looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He clasped his fists and said, "My younger brother's surname is Hu, and he is a disciple of Hengshan Sect. Are you the master of Zhang Yukun?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right! As a disciple of Baidao, Mr. Hu came to visit me like me. I wonder what advice? Could it be that there is something inconvenient to come forward and want to cooperate with us?" He looked at the young guests suspiciously and secretly guessed the other party's purpose. The Hengshan Sect and the World Association are all located in Hunan, but they rarely contact each other. After all, they are different and do not make plans. Once they tear their faces apart, they will not be able to live a good life. They usually restrain their disciples, try to avoid friction, and it is even more impossible to have any contact.

Hu Qingpeng glanced at the man leading the way, and wanted to speak but stopped. Zhang Yukun waved his hand. The man bowed knowingly and closed the door. Zhang Yukun smiled and said, "Young Master Hu, there are only you and me left here. If you have something to say, it will never reach the third person's ears."

Since Hu Qingpeng stepped into the door, a feeling of anxiety floated in his heart. Although Zhang Yukun seemed kind and friendly, it was still difficult for him to trust him completely. He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Zhang Yukun and did not even know the other party's specific position. He couldn't help but regret that he was reckless. He asked, "I wonder which hall Lord Zhang is in charge of the world meeting?"

Zhang Yukun was stunned, obviously surprised by the other party's ignorance, and said, "I am in charge of the punishment hall, specializing in punishment, precepts, and supervision."

Hu Qingpeng asked again: "Can you show the token of the Lord of Xingtang to confirm your identity?"

Zhang Yukun was displeased and said with a deep face: "Young Master Hu, don't forget, this is the world club. You are here to visit me! I did not ask you to show your identity certificate, but you turned against you and dared to make such unreasonable requests! You have something to say when you want to say, and if you don't want to say, please give me what you don't want to say. Zhang has limited time and can't play a puzzle with you."

Hu Qingpeng said: "Please calm down! Because I have promised Wei Hanxiang, Master Wei, to convey a few last words to Master Zhang for him. If you cannot prove your identity, I will never say the last words of Master Wei. Please forgive me for your sake."

Zhang Yukun's eyes flashed, his face calmed down slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wei Hanxiang died unexpectedly. It has not been found out who the murderer is. How could you, a disciple of the Hengshan Sect, know his last words? Why should I believe you?"

Hu Qingpeng took out the bronze medal from his arms and said, "This is what Lord Wei gave to me before he died. I wonder if he can win the trust of the Lord of the Hall?"

Zhang Yukun said, "Is it true? Let me take a look first!" As he said that, he reached out to grab the bronze medal. Hu Qingpeng was hesitating whether to let go. Zhang Yukun's palm suddenly accelerated and pointed it like a sword, hitting his wrist, arms, shoulders and other acupoints. Hu Qingpeng was shocked and clenched his fist with his other hand, but saw a figure flashing rapidly. The other party leaned over to the gap, pointed out like the wind, and sealed his seven acupoints in an instant.

Hu Qingpeng couldn't move in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, shouting: "Zhang Yukun, why did you attack me? Where did I offend you? Let me go!"

Zhang Yukun's face turned cold, as if he had changed his personal face, and he sneered: "You fool, do you think I'm surnamed Zhang now?"
