The man held the flag, bowed to Liu Zheng Feng, and said, "By the order of the Left Alliance Master, the world is in chaos today, and this is a time for us martial artists to show our strength. The Five Peaks Sword Sect are all brothers, so please, Master Liu, postpone your retirement!"
Liu Zheng Feng's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "This must be Shi Xian Zhe of Thousand Foot Pine, Master Liu is a disciple of Hengshan, and should obey the orders of the Left Alliance Master. However, today I, Liu Zheng Feng, am retiring and this is a private matter that doesn't violate any martial arts principles. I cannot obey the Five Peaks flag. Please report to the Left Alliance Master that Liu Zheng Feng's mind is set. After I retire, I will personally go to Mount Song and apologize to the Left Alliance Master!" He was about to put his hands in the basin.
Suddenly, a hidden weapon pierced through the air. Liu Zheng Feng took two steps back, the weapon hit the golden basin, spun around, and fell. A figure flashed in front of him, he raised his foot and stomped down, crushing the golden basin flat.
Liu Zheng Feng saw the person and said angrily, "Fei Bin, today is a private matter for me, Liu Zheng Feng, can your Songshan Sect control my retirement from the martial arts? You're going too far!"
Fei Bin cupped his fist and said, "The Left Alliance Master repeatedly instructed me to stop you, Master Liu, from retiring. I had no choice, and I apologize for offending you, please forgive me." His expression was playful, clearly this apology was insincere.
Liu Zheng Feng was furious but dared not break with him. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was caught in a dilemma. Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice coming from the back hall, "Hey, let go of Sister Liu, she said she hates seeing you, why are you so shameless?"
Liu Zheng Feng recognized his daughter's playmate's voice and turned his head, shouting, "Who dares to be so bold?" He was about to turn around when he heard Fei Bin laugh on the opposite side, "Master Liu, please forgive me. I was afraid you might be momentarily blinded and do something wrong, so I had to resort to this. My disciples are rough, and I apologize for disturbing your daughter," he shouted into the back hall, "Get out here! Stop making a fool of yourselves!"
From the back hall came more than a dozen people, they were Liu Zheng Feng's family, each with a Songshan disciple behind them, holding daggers, pressing against their hearts. He also heard footsteps from all directions, dozens of Songshan disciples rushed out, slowly surrounding the courtyard.
All the heroes were shocked. The Songshan Sect had clearly planned this beforehand. It was more than just stopping Liu Zheng Feng from retiring.
Liu Zheng Feng also realized this, he turned to Fei Bin and said through gritted teeth, "Brother Fei, what does this mean? The Left Alliance Master wants to stop me from retiring, why are you holding my family hostage? Is this not overdoing it?"
Fei Bin laughed, "We are just afraid that you might, in a moment of carelessness, do something wrong and harm your family," he then said with a serious expression, "Master Liu, the order of the Left Alliance Master must be clarified. What connection do you have with Oriental Unbeatable of the Sun and Moon Demon Cult?"
The people in the courtyard buzzed with talk. Over the years, the remaining members of the Ming Sect had fled and mostly fought against foreign invaders, while the martial arts righteous sects clashed with the Sun and Moon Demon Cult. Who among them didn't have friends or family killed by the Sun and Moon Demon Cult.
Liu Zheng Feng said urgently, "I have never met Oriental Unbeatable, how can there be any connection?"
Fei Bin shouted, "Then do you know, the right protector of the Sun and Moon Demon Cult, Qu Yang?"
Liu Zheng Feng hung his head in silence, then suddenly looked up, his face full of grief, "Yes, I met Brother Qu and we hit it off, admired each other, I naturally know the Qu Yang you mentioned. He is the most important friend I have ever had in my life!"
Fei Bin's face lit up with joy, he was about to speak when a soft sigh came from the roof, "Brother Liu, why are you so confused? Even if you deny it, I won't blame you," with these words, an old man in black robes appeared before everyone.
Seeing the arrival of the man, Ding Mian next to him shouted, "Liu Zheng Feng, you still say you have no connection with the Sun and Moon Demon Cult? Qu Yang has been hiding for so long, you two must have conspired to wipe out us righteous sects! Don't move!" The last sentence was directed to the back hall.
The Songshan disciples, upon hearing the order, gently pushed the daggers in their hands, Liu Zheng Feng's two sons let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. Liu Zheng Feng's wife cried loudly, ignoring the threat behind her, she rushed forward and fell to the ground.
The Songshan disciples behind her gritted their teeth and hesitated before striking, but suddenly they heard a breaking sound, instinctively dodging to the side. A figure came flying, grabbed Mrs. Liu and protected her behind him.
Fei Bin saw this and shouted to the seats, "Why is the Beggar Clan interfering in the internal affairs of our Five Peaks Sword Sect?"
It turned out that the person who saved Mrs. Liu was a woman in old clothes, with five small cloth bags sewn on her body, it was Miao Xiu who had returned to Swallowing Cloud Tower. She protected Mrs. Liu and slowly retreated behind Kang Min.
Kang Min's face was stern, she stood up and said, "Your Songshan Sect manages the internal affairs of the Five Peaks, it's none of my business. But your disciples want to kill innocent women in front of us, do you think I, Kang Min, am dead?"
Fei Bin's face was distorted with rage, he said, "Others are afraid of your Beggar Clan's large numbers, but I, Fei Bin, am not! Today is the day to wipe out the traitors of the martial arts who have colluded with the Sun and Moon Demon Cult. You are just a little girl, do you really want to go against the famous and righteous sects of the world?"
