A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 19 Bribing the Cloudwing Bird

It turns out that Li Feiyu had already figured out the identities of Manager Qian and Xu Feng more than half a year ago by following Manager Qian's lead.

Li Feiyu's stakeout began more than a year ago.

Over the past year, through the probing actions of some of the young disciples, it was discovered that Manager Qian's martial arts skills were mediocre. His martial arts skills must also be unremarkable, after all, his identity is merely that of the manager of the Seven Mysteries Sect's main kitchen.

If one's martial arts skills are too good, they would have been exposed long ago in the Seven Mysteries Sect, where there are many masters.

After more than a year of secret observation, Li Feiyu followed this clue and discovered the betrayal of Xu Feng, an inner disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Due to his strength and Han Li's dissuasion, Li Feiyu did not rush to expose him.

Otherwise, this matter would have been a great achievement long ago.

Now, the two of them are exactly part of this plan to escape unscathed.

The plan begins:
Li Feiyu and Han Li plotted against Xu Feng first, knocking him unconscious by acupressure and taking him to Forest No. 1.

Then, using Xu Feng's handwriting, a letter was prepared in advance and sent to arrange a meeting with Manager Qian. Li Feiyu was fully aware of the operational details.

Once Manager Qian has finished reading the letter and set off, the two of them only need to confirm that Manager Qian has come to keep the appointment, and then they can simply wait for him to arrive.

With Han Li's keen senses, he could roughly sense the approach of a target from a great distance.

Once Manager Qian gets closer, the real show begins:
Li Feiyu, impersonating Xu Feng, pushed Han Li off the cliff, hundreds of feet high, with a single palm strike, killing him to silence him.

As for whether it's a genuine push or a feigned one, only the two of them know.

After Li Feiyu finished his act, he immediately returned to Forest No. 1, changed back into his original clothes, and dispelled his Bone-Shrinking Technique. Then, he made a commotion, incidentally kicking Xu Feng awake. But before Xu Feng, the traitor of the Seven Mysteries Sect, could regain his senses, he dismembered him on the spot, ensuring that Manager Qian, hiding in Forest No. 2, could hear Xu Feng's screams clearly.

Finally, Manager Qian was taken to the Seven Absolutes Hall for interrogation, while Han Li, who had climbed up the cliff using a rope, dealt with some traces at the scene to avoid overlooking any clues.

After being severely tortured, Manager Qian honestly recounted the whole story and the "facts," thus establishing the nature of Han Li's "murder."

In addition, an intelligence letter that had not yet been sent out was found in the money steward's office.

It can be said that there are both witnesses and physical evidence.

Han Li, on the other hand, successfully became a "dead man," deceiving everyone except Li Feiyu and temporarily faking his death to escape.

...

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Tie was initially incredulous.

"How could this be?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Afterwards, Zhang Tie was filled with remorse.

He was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"If I persist in my cultivation and stay by Junior Brother Han's side, will he be spared from being persecuted by the traitor?"

"If I hadn't slacked off and had continued to go with Junior Brother Han to the Chishui Peak Waterfall for body training, would he have been safe?"

Kneeling before the burning fire, Zhang Tie covered his face and wept bitterly.

He was saddened by the unexpected death of his close junior brother.

Unconsciously, they attributed many responsibilities to themselves.

"Alright, it's too late to say anything now that things have come to this." Li Feiyu comforted him from the side, "The spies and traitors have either been caught or killed. Junior Brother Han's death actually had some value."

In the burning bonfire, there were Han Li's mangled remains.

Because the remains were not found until the next day.

At the time, the body that had fallen into a canyon at the foot of the mountain was being devoured by a pack of wild dogs, and was already unrecognizable. The scene was gruesome. If it weren't for the familiar clothes that were still easily identifiable even though they were torn to shreds by the wild dogs, the Seven Mysteries Sect would have had no way of determining who the victim was.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Zhang Tie was still blaming himself.

At the same time, there was also fear.

As one of the three masters and disciples of Shenshou Valley, he was all too aware of Han Li's position in Doctor Mo's heart.

Doctor Mo possesses unfathomable martial arts skills, unfathomable strength, and a mind that is ever-changing and unpredictable.

He couldn't muster the slightest thought of resisting his mentor.

When Master Mo went out, he secretly instructed him to take good care of Han Li.

But now.

Junior Brother Han has been murdered!

He couldn't imagine how angry and resentful the old man would be when he returned to the mountain and learned of his junior brother Han's murder!
In the days that followed, Zhang Tie would be in a daze whenever he saw the everyday items that Han Li had "deliberately" left in the valley cabin.

He spent his days in a daze.

...

a few days later.

Han Li's ashes were sent eastward and returned to the Han family in Wuligou.

It felt like the sky was falling for the whole family.

Because Han Li had become a disciple of Doctor Mo years ago, the Han family had received a steady stream of subsidies from him, with a considerable amount of money sent home every month. As a result, the family was living a life they had never dared to dream of before, and the younger sister was even engaged to a wealthy family in a neighboring village. But suddenly, the Han family's prized son returned with only a jar of ashes.

This was like a bolt from the blue for the Han family.

"Brother Li..."

My younger sister is heartbroken.

From a very young age, she loved her fourth brother the most.

She still dreamed of the day her beloved brother Li would ride a tall, magnificent horse back to the village in triumph. Little did she know that all that would return was a jar of ashes.

The elderly couple from the Han family were also heartbroken.

Those were, after all, their flesh and blood, their children:
"Li'er..."

The eldest, second, and third brothers all returned from town, their faces covered in tears.

From then on, the Han family was forced back to their original state and returned to the impoverished life they had once lived by scrimping and saving.

My younger sister's engagement was ruined.

After all, the most prestigious figure in the Han family is Han Li.

Han Li is gone; once he's gone, the tea grows cold.

Fortunately, when Li Feiyu came to pay his respects, he would bring some simple local specialties to help the Han family. However, he said that it couldn't be too much, and he could only help within the bounds of friendship, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Since then.

The dust has settled.

...

Let's go back to the night of the incident.

Just in case, Han Li deliberately descended the mountain from the back cliff using some vines and ropes that Li Feiyu had prepared in advance, cleverly avoiding the checkpoints set up by the Seven Mysteries Sect on the mountain paths.

On his way out of the Seven Mysteries Sect, he kept a close eye on his surroundings.

really.

Just as he was leaving the territory of the Seven Mysteries Sect's Rainbow Cloud Mountain, a bird followed him in mid-air.

"The Cloud-Winged Bird? Mo Juren really did plant this spy to watch me in the dark."

Cloudwing Bird: A bird with extremely fast flight speed, capable of gathering intelligence, and so intelligent as to be almost a spirit beast.

Doctor Mo has kept him for many years.

Previously, whenever he went to Chishui Peak Waterfall to practice his skills, or even whenever he left Shenshou Valley, this bird would be released by Doctor Mo to follow and accompany him. Once he made any move to leave the Seven Mysteries Sect, the Cloud-Winged Bird would fly back to Shenshou Valley to inform him of the situation.

Raising this bird is effortless; a few yellow chestnut pellets are enough to bribe it. You don't need to worry about it much; it will hunt for itself.

If you have it keep watch day and night for four or five months, this bird can easily complete its task.

Furthermore, this bird is very good at hiding itself: in the past few years, he, Zhang Tie, and Li Feiyu had not discovered the existence of this cloud-winged bird. Only now, after he quickly left the Seven Mysteries Sect, was he able to force the bird to reveal itself in the wilderness.

Moreover, compared to carrier pigeons that can travel two thousand miles a day, cloud-winged birds can travel five or six thousand miles a day.

therefore.

Even though he was thousands of miles away, Doctor Mo was able to confirm that Han Li was still in the Seven Mysteries Sect within the past year or two, thus finding some peace of mind.

now.

Han Li, who had run more than ten miles outside the Seven Mysteries Gate, stopped.

The cloud-winged bird immediately perched on a tree and preened its feathers.

If it were someone else, at a different time, no one would suspect a harmless little bird.

But Han Li is different.

He knew about the bird from the very beginning.

At this moment, he took off the package on his back and pulled out a bag from it. Inside the bag was a large bag of "Yellow Chestnut Pills".

He pinched two yellow chestnut balls into his hand, then looked at the little creature in the treetops with a kind expression.

The cloud-winged bird that was preening its feathers on the tree immediately stopped what it was doing.

Her eyes were fixed on the two little cuties in Han Li's hand.

After holding out for a second, the cloud-winged bird gave up resisting and flew towards Han Li's palm.

"really."

Han Li thought to himself.

The cloud-winged bird landed on his right hand and nimbly and quickly pecked away the two yellow chestnut balls.

During the process, he did not stop anyone, nor did he intend to cause any harm.

Wait until the next day.

He then took out a yellow chestnut pill.
