Chapter 56 Brother, I beg you
Chapter 56 Brother, I beg you (Please read on)
Lu Chengfeng stood in the wind and snow, but was not in a hurry to go home. He had benefited a lot from six months of hard training and his cultivation strength had greatly improved. More importantly, he had completely digested the gifts from the three people, which gave him a clearer understanding of the situation in the sect.
"At the beginning, due to Xun Shuijing's death, the previous head was furious and investigated the matter thoroughly at all costs. The elders of Xuanhe Peak, Li Guan and Qin Feng, were involved."
"Both of them have reached the end of their lifespans. Under the temptation of life-extending elixirs from outsiders, they secretly leaked the news about Xun Shuijing."
"Of course there is no solid evidence for this kind of thing, but the previous headmaster forced these two people to go to Kunlongyuan, and they have never returned since then."
When Lu Chengfeng thought of the huge monster that Li Guan saw in the trapped dragon abyss in the memory fragments, he felt a shudder that came from the soul. It was the suppression of blood and life.
Just seeing it in my memory is frightening and terrifying.
"Fortunately, it has been sleeping, otherwise the entire Yuncang would be destroyed."
"Those so-called demon beasts are merely born from the infection of its aura, but they already possess all kinds of incredible powers, bringing tremendous pressure to the sect."
"How can there be such a terrifying existence in this world?!"
Lu Chengfeng shook his head. If he had not seen it with his own eyes in the fragments of memory, he really would not have believed that the creatures in myths and legends actually existed in the world.
The entire Yuncang Sword Sect is like it was built on the crater of a volcano. Once the volcano erupts one day, everyone in the sect will be reduced to ashes.
"Compared to the existence under Kunlongyuan, the insignificant people in the sect are really not worth mentioning."
"It's just a sneaky trick used by those who are chasing carrion and trying to survive!"
As an eyewitness to the turmoil in the sect twenty years ago, the information contained in Li Guan's memory fragments has long become a taboo for the young disciples in the sect today.
Who can know the struggles and undercurrents among the top leaders of the sect?
Lu Chengfeng integrated the memories of Li Guan, Zhao Changzhen, and Xiao Qi. Although they were a little incomplete, he had a clear understanding of the current situation in the sect.
"If my guess is correct, then it's not surprising that Zhu Yuxian met with Zhao Changzhen."
"Zhao Changzhen's death is even more natural."
He sighed slightly, turned around and walked along a quiet path, leaving only a layer of shallow footprints on the snow, which were quickly covered by the heavy snow.
Lu Chengfeng walked for about a quarter of an hour and entered a canyon on Bixiao Peak. The environment here was quiet and peaceful, with few traces of living creatures and only a few scattered tombstones.
He went straight to a tombstone buried in the snow and swept away all the snow with his own hands, revealing the inscription on it.
Tomb of loving father Zhao Changzhen - erected by his daughter Zhao Ling'er.
There are not too many words, not even the year of birth and death. It is simple, even a little crude.
Lu Chengfeng swept away the snowflakes and removed the weeds beside the tombstone before kneeling down in front of the tomb.
Zhao Changzhen raped and killed a beautiful woman, forced Luo Suyi to be his concubine, betrayed the Yuncang Sword Sect, and his hands were stained with blood and innocent souls. It can be said that he had committed many evil deeds and did not deserve to die.
But he was really good to Lu Chengfeng and was quite sincere to him. Not only did he save Lu Chengfeng's life, he also taught him all the martial arts of Bixiao Peak.
Others can say that Zhao Chang is really not the one, but Lu Chengfeng cannot.
"Master, I will always remember when I was thirteen years old, my father, who worked in the government office, was merciful and released a six-year-old orphan girl."
"That girl found some deadly poison from somewhere and threw it into my well, killing all 17 members of my Lu family."
"I cut my wrists and bled, barely surviving. Fortunately, Master, you saved me." Lu Chengfeng kowtowed respectfully, "Master, I will never be able to repay you for saving my life."
"After my master saved me, he took me to the government office with a sword in hand and placed the sword on the city lord's head, forcing him to send someone to find the orphan girl. I killed her with my own hands and avenged my blood feud."
"If it weren't for Master, my enemy would have long disappeared in the vast sea of people. I'm afraid I would never be able to avenge him in this lifetime."
"Master, you taught me martial arts, taught me the principles of ruthlessness and cruelty."
"I know Master is not a good person, but I don't care, because you are good to me, this is true."
He looked at the three characters "Zhao Changzhen" on the tombstone and said in a hoarse voice, "Even though you forced Su Yi to be your concubine that day, I was grief-stricken and in pain, but I could do nothing about it."
"Who made you my savior? Who made you my benefactor who avenged my parents? Who made you my master who passed on my teachings and treated me like a son?"
"But you died. Before you could even have your wedding night, someone broke into your mountain and killed you with just three sword strikes."
"Even if you have done a thousand wrong things, I, Lu Chengfeng, owe you this life. I must avenge you no matter what. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of you? How can I be worthy of my conscience?!"
Lu Chengfeng recalled the scenes when he was a child following Zhao Changzhen. As a thirteen-year-old boy, his parents and relatives died tragically, leaving him alone and helpless. It was Zhao Changzhen who taught him how to practice sword and gave him the courage and strength to live.
"But why was he the one who killed you?"
Lu Chengfeng's tone was gloomy and suppressed, "I didn't want him to die, but...why did he want to kill you?"
"Master, I owe you a great favor, and I must avenge myself."
"I will find a suitable opportunity to kill him with one sword. I will avenge you."
"Senior Brother." A person in red appeared behind Lu Chengfeng at some point. Her fair and flawless face was already covered in tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and her right hand was holding the sword tightly.
"Tell me, who killed Dad?"
Lu Chengfeng did not look back. With his current level of martial arts attainments, he had already noticed Zhao Ling'er when she just appeared.
"Junior sister, don't worry about this matter. I will definitely avenge Master."
"Senior Brother!" Zhao Ling'er knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times. The snow and mud on the ground stained her smooth forehead, but she didn't care at all.
She just turned sideways and stared at Lu Chengfeng with her red and swollen eyes, "Today is Daddy's birthday. In previous years, we would celebrate his birthday together, and he would prepare gifts for you and me."
"None of the other brothers and sisters have this. Only you and I are favored by Daddy."
"I woke up early this morning, but I couldn't eat a single bite of food or drink a sip of water, and before I knew it I was here."
"Brother, I don't have a father anymore. My father is dead... He is dead..."
Zhao Ling'er burst into tears, but she pushed away Lu Chengfeng's hand that was stretched out to support her, and asked in a sharp voice: "Do you want me to not even know who the enemy who killed my father is?"
The wind was howling and snow was flying. Zhao Ling'er's thin figure was trembling slightly and tears had already blurred her eyes.
"Brother, please help me."
As she spoke, she kowtowed suddenly.
