Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1272: When the Time Comes

"Oh?"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Li Feng: "Someone wants to frame you, tell me about it, I want to see who has such audacity."

Li Feng watched Gao Yuanyuan, who was clearly protecting him, and immediately recounted how he was blocked by Lin Ao at the town entrance and then stopped by Lu Ziqi, repeating the conversation they had.

"Senior sister, Lu Ziyue hasn't appeared for so long, I think he might have encountered misfortune. If he really went to hunt dragon scales, he might not have left any remains."

"The rumors in the town obviously aren't unfounded. I've been recovering from an injury at Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion all these days, and I had no idea what's happening below. If Lin Ao hadn't blocked me, I wouldn't even know Lu Ziyue hasn't appeared for days."

"When Lu Ziqi found me, I learned that someone blamed Lu Ziyue's disappearance on me, and the reason is that I've suddenly become formidable, appearing like a different person to Lin Ao and others."

"Senior sister, these individuals are simply fabricating charges against me without reason."

"Previously, I didn't want to conflict with them, nor did I want to cause trouble, but I was seen as weak and easily bullied. Lu Ziyue interacted with me not just because of senior sister Lu's influence, but more because he and I hit it off immediately."

"Although Lu Ziyue was flamboyant, he was very self-assured. To be blunt, if I were truly a cowardly waste, how could Lu Ziyue consider me a close friend?"

"Now, just because I resisted and even defeated Lin Xiong, breaking through the Sword Wall Trial and becoming the Seventh Elder's closed-door disciple, I've become a thorn in their side, causing envy and jealousy."

Li Feng spoke with a slight boast.

Nearby, Baozi-faced Xiao Man shyly said: "You sure know how to brag about yourself, shameless."

Gao Yuanyuan listened to Li Feng's account and deeply agreed. Bai Yutang's parents are Minister Elders of the Mountain Villa, with unfathomable power, yet indifferent to fame and fortune, traveling like wandering clouds and solitary cranes.

Thus, Bai Yutang inherits their personality, disliking troubles, keeping a low profile, which is understandable. As for Bai Yutang's displayed strength, it is well-founded.

Regarding Lu Ziyue's unexplainable disappearance, there is no evidence to suggest Bai Yutang's involvement. Merely because of some rumors and Bai Yutang's sudden rise as a closed-door disciple doesn't connect Lu Ziyue's disappearance to Bai Yutang.

Ha.

It's amazing how some people can come up with such ideas.

Moreover, Bai Yutang and Lu Ziyue were close friends, what reason would he have to take such actions?

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Li Feng and said: "Junior, this matter is what it is, and that's that, you don't need to be afraid. Since it's unrelated to you, no one can wrongfully accuse you."

"I will report this to the master later. Now that you have joined the master's sect, he certainly won't protect you."

"Senior sister, will the master really protect me?"

Gao Yuanyuan, seeing Li Feng's doubtful expression, seriously said: "Uh-huh, don't doubt this. Before you joined, the master could vent his dissatisfaction on you, but since he accepted you, no one can bypass the master to bully you."

Li Feng nodded.

"Alright, we've been out for quite some time, let's go back for now. I will pay attention to Lu Ziyue's matter, you don't need to worry about it."

"I will listen to senior sister."

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan had stepped in, Li Feng naturally wouldn't push himself forward. He now needed to play Bai Yutang's role well, especially not exposing any flaws.

Since he had come, he accepted it.

If he panicked or became unsteady, someone might notice inconsistencies, ruining things. Fortunately, Li Feng's mental endurance was extraordinary, making this situation easy for him.

Moreover, he asked about Bai Yutang's situation, both openly and discreetly.

Bai Yutang's parents frequently traveled, often without communication once they left. Their trips could last a year or two, or at least several months.

As long as Bai Yutang's two blood relatives remained absent, Li Feng's chances of exposure were low.

The caretakers instructed by them, like Gao Yuanyuan, couldn't discern his authenticity, so others wouldn't see through him either.

Li Feng returned to Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion and continued his secluded life. But as he recovered slightly, he obtained the complete Sword Control Technique from Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't suspect anything, and since he joined the inner sect, learning the Sword Control Technique was expected. She quickly handed Li Feng the complete technique, instructing him to study it himself and ask her if he had any questions.

The Sword Control Technique was divided into two parts. One part was the Refining God Technique, mainly honing the Divine Acupoint and strengthening spiritual power, which forms the essence of the Sword Control Technique. As for the sword control itself, it involves techniques and moves that are exquisite, yet not as crucial as the Refining God Technique.

Previously, Li Feng studied the Medical Saint Inner Scripture: Divine Acupoint Chapter, understanding the distribution of the Divine Acupoints, the operation of spiritual power, and some uses.

However, the Medical Saint Inner Scripture was more of a medical book than a cultivation technique, lacking methods to refine and enhance the Divine Acupoint. With the Refining God Technique, this shortcoming was addressed.

For several consecutive days, Li Feng stayed in Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion, practicing the Refining God Technique, continuously compressing and honing his spiritual power.

His internal injuries steadily recovered under nurturing.

"Junior,"

One day, while Li Feng was cultivating, Gao Yuanyuan appeared in his room, interrupting his practice.

Li Feng raised his eyes to look at Gao Yuanyuan: "Senior sister, did something happen?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded: "It's now confirmed that Lu Ziyue encountered misfortune, but Lu Ziyue's remains are missing, so the matter can't be conclusively resolved yet."

Li Feng observed Gao Yuanyuan's expression: "Senior sister, do I need to be interrogated?"

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Li Feng, who hit the nail on the head: "Junior, you don't need to worry, it's just routine questioning, and you're not the only one being asked."

"You should know that Lu Ziyue is not an ordinary disciple. He was the heir to the Lu Family, the leading external surname family. News of Lu Ziyue's death will be reported to the Lu Family, which definitely requires an explanation and can't be left unresolved."

"When you go, just tell the truth. The Family Head and the Elders aren't foolish, they can distinguish who's speaking the truth and who's fabricating."

Li Feng nodded.

"Alright."

Li Feng knew he had to face this trial eventually, and rather than cowardly avoiding it, he had to cooperate actively. Otherwise, if he showed any flaws, escaping from there would be harder than ascending to heaven.

Immediately, Li Feng followed Gao Yuanyuan to leave Spirit Rhinoceros Pavilion and headed to the main hall of Divine Sword Manor, a hall with classical architecture.

Entering the hall, Li Feng instantly spotted Lin Wan'er among the crowd, along with Lin Changge standing beside the upper seat.

sitting at the uppermost position was Lin Dong, the Family Head of the Ancient Wulin clan of this generation.

A step below Lin Dong were seats for the Seven Great Elders, with Minister Elders sitting on the lower seats on either side, and a stout middle-aged man on the first seat to the left.

Li Feng naturally didn't recognize this person, but standing behind him was Lu Ziqi, familiar to Li Feng, so he could guess the man's identity—he should be the father of Lu Ziqi and Lu Ziyue.

As for the others, Li Feng mostly didn't recognize them. Retracting his gaze, Li Feng also saw Lin Ao standing in the middle.

It seemed Lin Ao arrived before him, and Lu Ziyue's father seemed to harbor some hostility towards him already.
