Nowadays, the topic most discussed in the outside world was the grudge between Chu Feng and the four great Imperial Clans. But within the Immortal Island, the matter causing the greatest concern was the death of Baili Xinghe.
Baili Xinghe had not appeared on the day of the strongest juniors' confrontation, and had not shown up since. Ordinary people didn't care whether he was dead or alive, but his master, the Weapon Refining Immortal, cared deeply.
Seeing that his disciple had not returned for so long, the Weapon Refining Immortal personally rushed to the Bow Hegemon Plains. By that time, Zhang Ming and Zhang Tianyi, father and son, had already departed, leaving behind only the fortress. However, after some inquiry and investigation, the Weapon Refining Immortal managed to obtain certain clues.
Now, he had already confirmed one thing — his disciple Baili Xinghe was undoubtedly dead.
And the culprits responsible for his disciple's death pointed squarely to two people: Chu Feng and Leng Yue.
…………
Within the Immortal Island, the Weapon Refining Immortal stood before a grave. Four large characters were carved on the headstone — Baili Xinghe — but this was an empty tomb.
"Xinghe, it is your Master who has failed you. You died a violent death, yet I could not even preserve your corpse."
"But I will absolutely avenge the one who killed you. Rest in peace." The Weapon Refining Immortal gazed at the empty grave, his aged eyes filled with guilt.
"Senior." Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded. The Weapon Refining Immortal turned to look, and three graceful figures stood there.
All three figures were beauties — they were none other than Chu Feng's three lovers: Ziling, Su Rou, and Su Mei.
Su Rou was alluring, Su Mei was adorable, and Ziling surpassed both of them in every regard — she was both alluring and adorable, with an outstanding aura that nonetheless retained a playful charm. Hers was a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Su Rou and Ziling had arrived here some time ago. As for Su Mei, she had originally been at the World Spirit Alliance, but the Weapon Refining Immortal had personally brought her here recently.
The three sisters had reunited, and by all rights should have been overjoyed. But at this moment, their eyes were filled with worry. They had already learned that Baili Xinghe was dead, and that only two people could have possibly killed him — one was Leng Yue, and the other was Chu Feng.
"You've come." Though the Weapon Refining Immortal was sorrowful, he did not show it before Ziling and the others. Towards them, he remained as kind and genial as ever.
"We would like to offer an incense stick to Senior Brother Baili," Ziling and the others said in unison.
"Mm, go ahead." The Weapon Refining Immortal waved his hand.
Thereafter, Ziling and the others each took turns offering incense for Baili Xinghe. In truth, Ziling, Su Rou, and even Su Mei, who had just arrived, all loathed Baili Xinghe.
However, the Weapon Refining Immortal had taught them a great deal and expended considerable effort to finally help them completely purge the backlash they had suffered. So for his sake, this incense they had to offer.
"Senior, the dead cannot return to life. Please console yourself." After the incense offering, Ziling and the others spoke together.
"Yes, the dead cannot return to life, but this vengeance cannot go unavenged," the Weapon Refining Immortal said.
"Senior, have you already identified the one who killed Senior Brother Baili?" Ziling asked with concern. What she was concerned about was not Baili Xinghe's death — she was concerned about whether this matter truly involved Chu Feng. She naturally hoped it had nothing to do with him.
During these days, they had been living within the Immortal Island and had come to understand, to some degree, just how powerful the Weapon Refining Immortal was. Chu Feng was now wanted by all four clans, and their own Master had consistently refused to appear and help. If the Weapon Refining Immortal were to make a move against Chu Feng at this time, then Chu Feng would truly be in mortal danger.
"I have confirmed it. It was Leng Yue, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Palace," the Weapon Refining Immortal said.
"Leng Yue?" Hearing this, Ziling and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Senior, Leng Yue is currently the most valued disciple of the Heavenly Dao Palace. If you were to move against her, I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao Palace would not agree to it," Su Rou said.
"I am well aware that the Heavenly Dao Palace is not easy to deal with. But my disciple is not someone just anyone can kill."
