Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Even Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but show surprise on his face. This was clearly astonishing news.

Zhang San exclaimed in surprise, "Are you talking about the Yuan family, known as the number one family in the martial arts world?"

Jiang Fengyue nodded slightly.

Three hundred years ago, Yuan Qinggu built Wuzheng Manor in Taiyuan. The name "Wuzheng" was not chosen by him, but was a congratulatory title given by heroes of the martial arts world.

That is because at that time, there was no one in the world who could rival him in terms of even a single day's worth of advantage.

From then on, many famous heroes emerged from the "Wuzheng" school, accomplishing countless great deeds in the martial arts world.

Hu Tiehua glanced at Jin Lingzhi and said sarcastically, "The Jin family of Wanshou and the Yuan family of Taiyuan are truly a perfect match."

Tears were welling up in Jin Lingzhi's eyes, and Hu Tiehua stopped mocking her when he saw this.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "It's a pity that Wuzheng Manor has faded from the martial world in the last fifty years. The current owner of the manor, Yuan Dongyuan, rarely appears in the martial world."

Hu Tiehua said, "I heard that Yuan Dongyuan was over fifty years old when he finally had a son, whom he doted on terribly. It's just a pity that his son went blind when he was three years old. Could he be Yuan Suiyun?"

Jiang Fengyue said, "That's right."

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly, "Since he's blind, what are we afraid of him for?"

Jiang Fengyue did not answer, but took out her disguise tools and materials and began a new disguise.

Hu Tiehua was puzzled and asked, "Now that Ding Feng is dead and we all know your identity, who are you trying to fool with your disguise?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "To safely enter Bat Island, we do need someone's identity."

Hu Tiehua scratched his head and asked, "Who?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Ding Feng."

Jiang Fengyue had already disguised herself as Ding Feng and imitated Ding Feng's voice, saying, "You are all now my prisoners. I really look forward to seeing what my master will think when he sees you."

Hu Tiehua exclaimed, "Unless Ding Feng comes back to life, there will never be anyone in the world more like Ding Feng than you."

Jin Lingzhi said sadly, "It's no use. You don't understand how terrifying he is. These methods are useless against him."

When Hu Tiehua heard Jin Lingzhi speak up for Yuan Suiyun, he instantly became angry and roared, "He's just a blind man, look how much you've praised him!"

A look of pain appeared on Jin Lingzhi's face, as if she were recalling some unpleasant things. She slowly said, "When you get to that place, you will find that you are no different from a blind person."

Jin Lingzhi was right. When the ship docked at Bat Island three days later, Hu Tiehua was dumbfounded.

There are no bats on Bat Island, not even a single one.

Bat Island was nothing more than a barren rocky mountain, devoid of flowers, trees, grass, wild animals, and life.

Hu Tiehua shouted, cursing, "What kind of godforsaken place is this?"

He then turned to look at Jin Lingzhi and asked, "Did you really come here once?"

Jin Lingzhi replied, "Mm."

Hu Tiehua asked, "How did you leave that time?"

Jin Lingzhi said, "It was Yuan Suiyun who sent someone to take me away."

Hu Tiehua asked, "What if he doesn't see you off?"

Jin Lingzhi said, word by word, "If he doesn't send me off, I'll die here!"

Upon arriving on the island, Jin Lingzhi's tongue became so stiff with tension that she had to exert a great deal of effort to speak.

Behind a rocky screen, a steel cable hangs, suspending a pulley that leads to a cave. Looking in from the outside, the cave is dark and bottomless, without a single glimmer of light.

The group circled around and arrived here. Hu Tiehua couldn't help but ask, "Is this the entrance?"

Jin Lingzhi said, "I entered through here last time I came."

Hu Tiehua asked, "Why isn't there even a single guard here?"

Jin Lingzhi trembled and said, "It's easy to get into this place, but getting out is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked, "Where does this chariot end?"

Jin Lingzhi said, "This is where Yuan Suiyun greets guests."

Chu Liuxiang asked, "Is that where he greets the guests?"

Jin Lingzhi glanced at Jiang Fengyue, who was disguised as Ding Feng, and sighed, "Sometimes it's Ding Feng there."

Jiang Fengyue walked over and said with a smile, "I am Ding Feng, and Ding Feng is me."

After speaking, Jiang Fengyue gently tapped Jin Lingzhi's speech acupoint and some acupoints on her upper body.

Hu Tiehua immediately became anxious and shouted, "Xiao Jiang, what are you trying to do?"

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Don't worry, I won't hurt your little lover. I'm just afraid that if she speaks in front of Yuan Suiyun, we'll inevitably be exposed."

Jiang Fengyue's concerns were not unfounded; Jin Lingzhi's heart was already wavering between Hu Tiehua and Yuan Suiyun.

If Yuan Suiyun were to fall behind in his duel with Jiang Fengyue and the others, Jin Lingzhi might just step in to help him in a moment of desperation. No one in the world can truly understand a woman's heart.

As everyone boarded the trolley, Chu Liuxiang murmured, "No wonder he came here to run a den of iniquity. If we were all in the same darkness, he, being blind, would actually have an advantage."

The trolley started moving, and in less than ten counts, it was already plunged into darkness.

The darkness was boundless, and all around was quiet; there wasn't a sound.

Not only were their bodies sliding down, but their hearts were also sinking.

The most terrifying thing in the world is darkness, is not being able to see.

The light at the entrance was gradually fading, and everyone felt increasingly stifled. The sled seemed to be heading towards hell.

At the very end, the sled stopped. After sliding off the sled, Jiang Fengyue continued to activate his white-clad divine ears and heard the sounds of four people.

"Check-in!"

"Sign-in successful, Yuan Suiyun has gained the ability Night Vision."

"Successfully checked in at Kumei and obtained the martial art 'Heart-Piercing Hand'."

"Sign-in successful for Gao Yanan, and you have obtained the martial art Qingfeng Thirteen Swords."

"Sign-in successfully for Hua Zhenzhen and obtain the Huashan Heart Sutra martial arts manual."

Jiang Fengyue opened his eyes and activated his night vision ability. He was indeed able to see his surroundings clearly. What came into view was one man and three women.

Yuan Suiyun had the appearance of a young man, very delicate and refined, and although his clothes were gorgeous, they were not excessive.

An elderly woman with white hair, her right hand resting on a dragon-headed cane, her left hand hidden in her sleeve, her withered face covered in scars, half an ear missing, and one eye missing—this was none other than Master Kumei.

The girl next to Master Kumei was spirited and dressed in a narrow-sleeved blue dress. Jiang Fengyue guessed that this was Gao Yanan.

Because another girl was tied to the ground and appeared to have her acupoints sealed, rendering her unable to move, Jiang Fengyue knew that this must be Hua Zhenzhen.

He sighed. Hua Zhenzhen had come with Master Kumei, so it was likely that Master Kumei and Yuan Suiyun had joined forces to capture her.

As the group approached, Yuan Suiyun heard the noise and asked, "Who's there?"

Jiang Fengyue imitated Ding Feng's voice and said in a deep voice, "Disciple Ding Feng greets Master."
