Chapter 226 The one who took action
Of course, it's impossible for the grandfather and grandson to re-enter the Hundred Refinements City they finally escaped from.

"Let's not concern ourselves with what's happening in Hundred Refinements City, lest we needlessly invite trouble."

The little girl in pink spoke with a sullen face; she had absolutely no desire to have anything to do with that despicable guy right now.

After all, she didn't want her grandfather to be used as a pawn again. Besides, the two of them had a blood feud, and there was no need to involve the other party.

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp robes shook his head, looked down at Hundred Refinement City, and frowned, saying:

"We are not capable of handling this matter right now. If we want to take revenge, we will have to find an opportunity to infiltrate Hundred Refinement Peak."

Just then, the city gates of Hundred Refinements City suddenly opened once again.

With a rapid sound of hooves, nine disciples of Hundred Refinement Peak galloped out one after another.

The old man in hemp clothing and the little girl on the hill both had strange expressions on their faces, looking down towards the direction of Hundred Refinement City.

Through the hazy night, the two could see nine experts from Hundred Refinement Peak, who, after leaving the city gate, quickly departed in several different directions.

Of the nine people, only one rode towards the main road where they were, clearly intending to head towards Hundred Refinement Peak.

"What's going on? These people just entered the city, why are they suddenly in such a hurry to leave again?"

The old man in hemp clothing frowned, a look of doubt on his face.

The little girl in pink stared intently in the direction the Hundred Refinement Peak experts had gone, observing carefully for a while before suddenly speaking:

"The direction these people are heading seems to be towards the other peaks of Luoshen Peak."

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing's eyes flickered, and following the little girl's gaze, his brows furrowed even deeper:

"That does seem to be the case, but why would they do this all of a sudden?"

The little girl in pink turned around, raised her head, and rolled her eyes:
"You ask me? How do I know?"

The old man in hemp clothing stroked his beard, a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Something is clearly very wrong. Nothing major has happened in Hundred Refinement City, so why send people to the other peaks?"

At this moment, the expert who was riding at full speed toward Hundred Refinement Peak was getting closer and closer to the old man in hemp clothing and his companion.

A glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes, but he stared directly at the other person. Seeing this, the little girl in pink's expression changed visibly, and she quickly spoke up:
"What do you want to do?"

"I want to find out what exactly happened in Hundred Refinements City."

The old man in hemp clothing suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. I have a feeling that something big has happened in Hundred Refinements City that we don't know about."

"Otherwise, even Zheng Yunfeng's wife wouldn't have come to Hundred Refinement City in person, and now it seems that the other eight peaks are also involved."

Upon hearing this, the little girl in pink remained silent for a moment. She naturally understood that this was indeed abnormal, but deep down she did not want to cause any further trouble.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing slowly spoke:

"Don't worry, I will make sure this person never sees my true face."

Having said that, as the rapid sound of horses' hooves grew closer, the old man in hemp clothing suddenly disappeared from his spot and headed down the road at the foot of the mountain.

Not long after, the experts from Hundred Refinement Peak, who were riding their horses at full speed, suddenly looked up and saw a huge boulder rolling down from the forest beside the road and crashing down onto the road ahead.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to tighten the reins and immediately stop the horse.

However, at that moment, his mind suddenly issued a warning, but unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. He only felt a hand quietly placed on his back from behind, and then, his meridians and acupoints were sealed one by one by an extremely powerful martial arts energy.

"Answer a few questions and I will let you go; otherwise, you will die now."

A deep, clearly disguised voice came from behind, but the martial arts experts from Hundred Refinement Peak showed no intention of resisting and hurriedly spoke up:

"Senior, please ask me anything. As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you everything I know!"

The experts of Hundred Refinement Peak are now immobilized, like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. What loyalty to the sect can they possibly have left?

His only thought now is to survive. Even surviving is secondary; he just wants to get the things Li Musheng asked him to do done as soon as possible.

He truly didn't want to experience the pain of the Life and Death Talisman again; for him, it was worse than death!

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing standing behind the martial arts experts of Hundred Refinements Peak nodded in satisfaction.

……

Before long, the old man in hemp clothing stood in the shadows of the mountains, his aged face showing a rapidly changing expression, and he appeared extremely unsettled.

Meanwhile, seemingly confirming that the person who attacked him had left, the expert from Hundred Refinement Peak made no unnecessary moves and immediately continued riding towards Hundred Refinement Peak without looking back.

"Have you found out what happened in Hundred Refinement City?"

Just then, a small figure leaped swiftly through the dark mountains and arrived beside the old man in hemp clothing, asking with a curious expression.

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing remained silent for a long time, but the expression on his face was extremely rich.

After a while, he took a deep breath, then suddenly looked at the little girl in pink beside him and said:
"Zheng Zi is dead, and his elder brother, Zheng Shangzong, the city lord of Hundred Refinements City, has also been killed, and even..."

At this point, the old man in hemp clothing paused.

Upon hearing of the deaths of the Zheng brothers, the little girl in pink looked surprised. Her expression shifted, and she asked:
"Even what? Why did you stop there?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp clothing sighed softly and said:

“Even the First Madam who had just arrived in Hundred Refinement City not long ago, as well as the two elders of the Law Enforcement Hall of Hundred Refinement Peak, were all killed.”

"what?!"

The little girl in pink froze, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in surprise and uncertainty. She quickly asked, "..."
"When did all this happen? Who did it? Why was there no commotion in Hundred Refinement City before?"

Upon hearing the little girl's series of questions, the old man in hemp clothing fell silent, his expression becoming extremely strange.

After a moment, he finally spoke slowly:

"It was that young master Li who did it."

Upon hearing this, the little girl in pink froze, her face showing disbelief.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing gently closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and continued to explain:

"According to the disciple from Hundred Refinements Peak, after we left, that Young Master Li not only killed Zheng Zi and the other man, but also eliminated Zheng Shangzong, who arrived at Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, as well as the two elders from Falling God Peak who failed to kill us."

"He even sent someone to Hundred Refinement Peak to transmit a message, and then, after attracting the arrival of the First Madam and her entourage whom we had met before, he personally eliminated them."
