Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

He drew his single-edged sword again, its tip pointing directly at the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) and swordsman: "My young master is an upright and honorable man; how could you, a coward, slander him? The story of killing a Shaolin monk is completely fabricated. Recently, my young master has been with me and Brother Bao San; how could he possibly travel hundreds of miles to Shaolin Temple to kill someone?!"

Feng Bo'e became angrier the more he talked. Only he knew that although his young master was determined to restore the country, he valued his reputation more than his life. How could he possibly kill a Shaolin monk?

What good would killing Shaolin monks do for restoring the kingdom, besides causing trouble?!

This is clearly a deliberate frame-up, but strangely enough, this rumor is spreading like wildfire in the community, which is incredibly frustrating and infuriating.

Feng Bo was filled with rage and, in a moment of rage, decided to kill. With a flick of his wrist, he slashed down with his single blade, the blade aimed directly at the person who had just spoken in rebuttal!

"Ah!" The swordsman, who had been so defiant just moments before, let out a scream when he saw that he was really going to be killed, thinking that he was doomed!

However, just as the treacherous blade was about to fall, a clear voice came from the second floor.

"Fourth Brother Feng, stop!"

As the voice rang out, Feng Bo'e's blade stopped just inches away from the swordsman.

Upon hearing the voice and seeing Feng Bo'e's actions, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with an outstanding demeanor slowly walking down the stairs from the second floor.

He was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a jade crown on his head. His face was as beautiful as jade, exuding the elegance and extraordinary air of a young nobleman.

This person was none other than the central figure everyone had been discussing earlier, Murong Fu of the Murong Clan of Gusu!

Murong Fu's appearance made everyone hold their breath, and all eyes were focused on him. After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and the title of "Southern Murong" was still quite intimidating at this time.

However, the expressions in the eyes of these martial arts practitioners were varied: some were contemptuous, some were curious, some were gloating, and some were even a little jealous and sympathetic.

Murong Fu walked to Feng Bo'e's side, glanced at the several bodyguards lying on the ground, patted Feng Bo'e on the shoulder, and said, "The innocent are innocent, Fourth Brother Feng, let's go."

Feng Bo'e was clearly somewhat unwilling, but since the young master had spoken, he couldn't say anything more.

He snorted and glared fiercely at the few swordsmen on the ground who were still trembling!

Sheathed his sword and followed behind Murong Fu, leaving Songhe Tower without looking back.

Only after Murong Fu and Feng Bo'e disappeared from the restaurant entrance did the people in the lobby dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

As this interlude ended, the martial arts enthusiasts still on the first floor began to discuss it again.

"Phew...that scared me to death! I thought we were going to see blood!" The man with the sword who had previously revealed Qiao Feng's story patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"I must say, Murong Fu truly lives up to his reputation! His demeanor and presence are unmatched by ordinary people!" another person exclaimed.

"He has a magnanimous spirit, but this guy is quick to draw his sword at the drop of a hat; he really doesn't value human life!"

"Is this your first day in the world? If you had the skills to handle Feng Bo'e, you could be this arrogant too!"

"But speaking of which, what did Murong Fu mean by saying 'the innocent will clear themselves' just now?" a voice muttered softly.

"I think this matter is probably not that simple. There's likely more to the rumors about Murong Fu's misdeeds than meets the eye..."

"Bah! If you're truly innocent, why didn't you clarify things to my face? Instead, you let your men beat up those who were gossiping. And then you pretended to stop them. Isn't that obviously a guilty conscience?"

The crowd started talking all at once, and the discussion became even more heated than before.

Qin Han watched all this quietly, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and glanced down at everything below.

He had no intention of befriending Murong Fu; the man wasn't worth it. A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him. "Looks like I really messed things up for Murong Fu..."

Looking at the private room where Murong Fu had just left, a question arose in my mind: how did Murong Fu end up in Songhelou in Baoding Prefecture?

Little did Qin Han know that during the month he spent enjoying the gentle embrace of the fairy sister at Lingjiu Palace...

How many blames did Murong Fu take for him? Qingyi Tower is an assassin organization in Gu Long's world. As everyone knows, the assassin villains in Gu Long's world have no bottom line. They will stop at nothing to destroy a person.

During this month, Qingyi Tower, under the banner of "Murong Fu", committed crimes all over the martial arts world, from petty theft to major cases such as intercepting escort agencies and provoking sects!

He was almost ruthless, and in just one month, Nan Murong's reputation plummeted in the martial arts world. He went from being a respected martial arts hero to someone arrogant and disdainful of all the masters in the world.

Half a month ago, various sects and factions once again joined forces and stormed Yanziwu, demanding an explanation from Murong Fu.

At that time, Murong Fu was investigating who had been smearing him, and only Gongye Qian and Deng Baichuan remained at Yanziwu.

There were too many martial arts practitioners that time. Although Gongye Qian was skilled in martial arts, he was no match for the crowd. In the end, he was killed by the hidden "Second Master" in the chaos.

If Murong Fu hadn't returned in time with Feng Bo'e and Bao Butong, even Deng Baichuan would probably have been surrounded and killed!

By this time, the lobby downstairs had been quickly and efficiently cleaned up by the waiters. Downstairs, no one was discussing Murong Fu's rights and wrongs anymore; instead, they were talking about other things.

"Hey, have you heard? Recently, Third Master Liu of the Hengshan Sect is going to hold a 'Golden Basin Washing Hands' ceremony at the Liu Family Villa at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, intending to retire from the martial arts world." A well-informed martial arts traveler said to the group at the table.

"Third Master Liu? Is that the Third Master Liu Zhengfeng, whose swordsmanship is as fast as the wind? That old man is extremely famous in Hengshan! His 'Thirteen Styles of Hengshan Clouds and Mist' is so skillful that he's unparalleled. Why would he retire so suddenly?" Another martial artist asked, puzzled.

"Alas, who knows? The world of martial arts is treacherous. Perhaps Master Liu is tired of this life of fighting and killing and wants to live a few days of peace."

"What you're talking about are just ordinary matters of the martial arts world. If Master Liu wants to retire, he can retire. What does it have to do with us? I have a big event that just happened in Baoding City recently!" A man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks said with a sly smile.

"Oh? What big thing could happen in Baoding? Tell us about it!" The others at the table were also intrigued and urged him on.

The man chuckled strangely and lowered his voice mysteriously, saying, "You know the Fuwei Escort Agency, right? It's the one with the chief escort named Lin Zhennan."

"I know, the Fuwei Escort Agency's caravans travel all over the country, and both the legitimate and illegitimate worlds give them some face."

"Hehe, the face you're talking about is only given to small, independent sects like ours," the man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks paused, then said in a strange tone, "Just recently, the Fuwei Escort Agency was passing through Baoding City when they were wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect from Sichuan!"
