I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 99 The First Prey

In his previous life, Murong Fu's journey of hardship began with Kumārajīva.

Now that I've dealt with Kumārajīva, I'm sure there will be a comeback point in my account when the settlement comes.

Having fully developed Swallow's Nest and Mantuo Manor, it's time to step onto a bigger stage and meet the heroes of Tianlong.

A few days after fighting with Kumārajīva, two monks came to Shaolin Temple, saying that they wanted to invite Murong Fu to Shaolin Temple for a confrontation because of Xuanbei's death.

After all, Murong Fu was Shaolin's number one suspect before.

Perhaps he had already intended to meet the heroes of Tianlong, which is why he readily agreed to Shaolin's invitation.

After making some preparations, he took his cousin, his two family retainers, and Duan Yu, the trigger for his adventure, and left Yanziwu.

Not long after he appeared, rumors began to circulate in the martial arts world that Qiao Feng had murdered his parents and master.

"It seems like the story of Juxianzhuang is coming soon."

Although Mo Fei was biased towards villains, Qiao Feng was a character he always admired.

He is a man of strong likes and dislikes, with a grand and magnanimous spirit. He is a hero who dares to fight against all odds for a woman, and who has the courage to capture the King of Liao alone. He is truly a first-rate hero in the world.

Although he was destined to become Qiao Feng's opponent, being able to fight against such a hero would be one of the greatest joys in his life.

"Cousin, is Qiao Feng really as the rumors say, a villain who murdered his own parents and master and committed all sorts of evil deeds?"

Upon hearing Wang Yuyan's question, everyone around looked at Mo Fei. After all, he and Qiao Feng were from the south and the north, respectively, so his assessment was highly credible.

"I met Qiao Feng once. He is a magnanimous and upright man, a first-rate hero in the world. How could he be as bad as the rumors in the martial arts world make him? There must be some villains interfering."

"Since my cousin has such a high opinion of Qiao Feng, it must be a myth in the martial arts world."

Hearing Mo Fei's evaluation of Qiao Feng, Duan Yu was delighted, and his impression of Mo Fei improved considerably.

At Mo Fei's request, the group changed their route and headed straight for Juxianzhuang.

Midway through their journey, rumors began to circulate in the martial arts world that the You brothers of Juxian Manor and the "enemy of Yama," Doctor Xue, were holding a heroes' banquet to discuss how to deal with Qiao Feng.

"Cousin, could you possibly know what was going on before you died? Otherwise, why would you have told us to hurry to Juxian Village so early?"

"It's just some speculation; how can I claim to have foreseen it?"

Along the way, Mo Fei absentmindedly answered Wang Yuyan's questions while recalling the plot of Juxianzhuang in his mind, trying to figure out what he could gain from it.

The group frequently encountered traveling martial arts practitioners along the way, but Mo Fei did not interact with them, simply continuing on his journey in silence, for he already had his own plans.

When Mo Fei and his group arrived at Juxian Manor, hundreds of martial arts practitioners had already gathered there.

When Bao Butong stepped forward to report that Murong from Gusu had come to visit the manor, the gatekeeper was immediately alarmed and hurriedly ran into the manor with a forced smile to report.

In just a moment, the You brothers from Juxian Manor and Doctor Xue came out to greet them.

Indeed, a good reputation is extremely important if you want to make a name for yourself in the martial arts world.

"Young Master Murong's arrival from afar truly brings honor to my humble Juxian Manor."

After confirming that it might be the real deal, the You brothers became extremely enthusiastic.

It's important to know that Murong of Gusu has a considerable reputation in the martial arts world. The fact that the heroes' gathering they organized could attract Mo Fei to participate is a great honor for them.

"You're too kind, gentlemen. I was just passing through when I heard that a grand event was being held here, and I was itching to come and meet these heroes of the world."

"Then Young Master Murong has come to the right place. Hundreds of heroes from the martial world have already gathered at Juxian Manor. They will certainly not disappoint you."

The speaker wore a gray robe, had a long beard, and a round face; he looked quite familiar. "This must be Doctor Xue, right? I've long heard of your reputation as the Enemy of Yama. I'm honored to meet you today. I must ask you for a drink later."

Hearing Mo Fei's flattery, Xue Muhua was overjoyed and his impression of Mo Fei improved even more.

If an ordinary person spoke like that, he wouldn't think much of it.

But Mo Fei is no ordinary person. Putting aside his renowned reputation as the Murong family of Gusu, he himself is also very famous in the martial arts world.

Perhaps the reason why he intentionally tried to get closer to Xue Muhua was also because of another plan.

The group of guests and hosts entered the manor in high spirits, where they were immediately greeted with a chorus of compliments.

The group rested for a day in the fine rooms arranged by the You brothers.

Around noon the next day, a servant came to invite him, saying that Bao, Qi, and Xiang had come to deliver a message, saying that Qiao Feng would be coming to visit the manor soon.

"Qiao Feng is coming; it looks like a big show is about to begin."

Mo Fei turned to Wang Yuyan, who was grinding ink and laying out paper for him, and said:

"Cousin, a grand show is about to unfold in the manor. Shall we go out and watch it together?"

Time is the best healer. These days, Wang Yuyan and Mo Fei are inseparable, and she has reached the point where she listens to Mo Fei without question.

When Mo Fei and his group of five arrived in the hall, it was already filled with a noisy argument, like a marketplace.

Just then, Elder Wu of the Beggars' Sect finished berating Xiang Wenhai when someone in the crowd suddenly said in a soft voice:

"The Beggars' Sect has produced a figure like Qiao Feng, its reputation is indeed excellent, we really need to take good care of it!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Beggars' Sect roared in anger:

"Who's talking?"

"If you have the guts, step forward. What kind of hero hides in the crowd like a dwarf?"

But after that person said those words, there was silence, and no one knew who had spoken.

But how could Mo Fei be fooled by such a ventriloquism trick? He suddenly focused his voice and roared in the direction the sound came from.

"get out!"

Could it be that this roar was as loud as thunder, and the Lion's Roar technique was used again? A burly man in the crowd immediately responded, swaying and unsteady on his feet, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, his face was ashen, and no one in the hall recognized him.

At this moment, Tan Gong suddenly exclaimed from the crowd, "Ah, that's Tan Qing of the Soul-Chasing Staff! Yes, he's the disciple of the 'Heinous' Duan Yanqing, he must be here to stir up trouble."

Doctor Xue immediately retorted angrily, "You are the disciple of the 'utterly wicked' Duan Yanqing? This banquet of heroes is for heroes from all over the world. How did a shameless scoundrel like you manage to sneak in?"

The crowd agreed with Dr. Xue's words and began to question Tan Qing.

But Mo Fei turned his head to look at the high wall in the distance, where his first prey of the day was hidden.

Sure enough, suddenly someone on the high wall in the distance said, "What kind of feast of heroes is this? I think it's more like a gathering of cowards!"

The man spoke the first word while still some distance away, but as soon as he uttered the last word, "will," he appeared instantly, gracefully descending from the high wall. He was incredibly tall, yet his movements were extremely fast. Many people on the rooftop threw punches and drew swords to block him, but they were all a step too slow, and he dodged them.

Many people in the hall recognized him as the "vicious and ruthless" Yun Zhonghe.
