Chapter Forty-Four: Under the Cover of Night, a Silent Sneak Attack

  By the time this maid finished dressing, her emotions had also calmed down a lot. Tang Feng only then loosened his hand covering her mouth.

  In the darkness, two eyes stared at Tang Feng timidly. She spoke softly and asked: "What do you want to ask?"

  "You just said the three elders got very angry? Do you know why?"

  The woman slowly shook her head: "I'm not clear, I just heard the Third Elder say something about a group of trash, can't even take down a little kid with any real power."

  Tang Feng smiled slightly and continued to ask: "Now that the three elders have been summoned by the master of the house, is that right?"

  "Alright."

  "Do you know where they are?"

  In the master's room.

  "Point it out to me."

  This maid is quite cooperative. Tang Feng asks what she says, after all, it's just an ordinary person. Under the threat of life, she doesn't dare to lie yet.

  Having obtained the location of the master bedroom of the Liu family, Tang Feng patted her shoulder and said: "You're very obedient, don't mention this matter today, got it?"

  The next moment, with a slight exertion of her fingers, she used a bit of inner energy, and the maid's body went limp, falling to the ground.

  Tang Feng didn't kill them, this man and woman were ordinary people, they hadn't done anything particularly evil. Injustice has a head and debt has an owner, Tang Feng was looking for the higher-ups of the Liu family. Moreover, in such a dark environment, it's impossible for this maid to see clearly what Tang Feng looked like.

  On the road, avoiding several waves of patrolling Jiajiang, Tang Feng easily slipped into a small house about 20 meters to the side of the main house of the Liu family.

  Tangmen's qinggong is unmatched, and when it's deployed, it's silent and stealthy. Tang Feng's qinggong was already formidable in his past life, and at that time, he didn't even have a hint of internal energy; now with the support of his powerful aura, it's even harder for people to detect.

  Although Tang Feng was still cautious, he looked towards the house and could vaguely see several figures moving back and forth in the light of the lamps. After counting carefully, there were undoubtedly four people, and it seemed that the master of the Liu family and the three great elders were all present.

  He looked up at the sky and saw a flash of lightning strike down. About three breaths later, the rumbling thunder finally arrived.

  Tang Feng remained still, not moving a muscle. After a moment, another flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and Tang Feng's spirit shook, his entire body tensing up like a fierce beast ready to pounce on its prey.

  Three breaths later, at the moment when the thunder sounded, Tang Feng swiftly hid under the house of the Liu family's master.

  The conversation of several people in the house came over clearly.

  "What a bunch of trash! They're completely useless, over ten people can't even take down a weakling like him and they still got wiped out!" One of them cursed in anger.

  "According to the news brought back by the underlings, those people basically all died from hidden weapons. Most of them were shot blind in the eyes first, and then killed with a knife. As for the three brothers of the Luo family, they were all killed by flying knives. Two were hit in the throat, one in the heart, the killer was ruthless and cunning, with a precise angle. The murderer must be an expert in hidden weapons."

  "Could it be that the woman following Tang Feng did it?"

  "It's not impossible." Another person murmured, "The information from the Zhang family said that there was a beautiful woman following Tang Feng, who should be an inner disciple of Tian Xiu. However... how could Tian Xiu's disciples use hidden weapons? And to kill over ten people, at least one would need to have reached the Xuan stage in their cultivation. There isn't anyone among Tian Xiu's third generation disciples with such high abilities, and it's even more impossible for a second generation disciple to be together with Tang Feng. It just doesn't add up, really can't figure it out!"

  "House owner!" A rather irate voice rang out: "Why don't the Zhangs and Huangs take action, but instead make our Liu family be the scapegoat?"

  "Hey, Old Three, stop complaining." The master of the Liu family sighed and said: "Among the three major families, my son Liu Yuan is the most handsome and has the best writing skills. Originally, I wanted him to seduce a Tianxu disciple to assassinate Tang Feng, but who would have thought that he really fell in love and eloped with that Tianxu disciple?"

  "Household master, this is just our inference. Whether Yuan'er eloped with Xiu Di's son that day or not is still a mystery!" said Liu Fangqing, Yuan's father, with a gloomy face.

  "You still don't admit it! So many days have passed, and Liu Yuan and that disciple of his, Xiu Di, have been nowhere to be found. They must be hiding secretly somewhere! Otherwise, how could we not find them?" The Third Elder, Liu Fanghai, shouted sternly.

  "Stop arguing!" Liu Fang Tian's face sank, "Originally, the plan was to share some benefits with my family after it succeeded, but now that Yuan Er is missing, the other two families will naturally pour dirty water on us. And this time, Tang Feng finally left Tian Xiu, but still didn't succeed."

  "If we drag this on any longer and the Emperor becomes displeased, I'm afraid this good fortune will slip right through our hands!" The elderly elder was worried.

  "What's been going on over there during this time?" asked Liu Fangtian.

  "I heard you've been in contact with the Zhang family quite often."

  Several people were talking when Liu Fangqing suddenly cried out "Ah!" and immediately everyone felt a pain in their neck. The faces of the four members of the Liu family changed greatly, they could never have imagined that they would be ambushed in their own home.

  "Who is it?" The master of the house, Liu Fang Tian, shouted loudly at the same time, his big hand wiped his neck and pulled out a flying needle.

  The window was opened silently and a black shadow slipped in.

  The three elders, being in the Xuan stage realm, naturally wouldn't react too slowly. As soon as the black shadow appeared, they pounced on it together, but unexpectedly, the black shadow was even more slippery than a loach. With just a few movements, it escaped from the attack range of the three elders and stood calmly, laughing and saying: "If I were you, I would absolutely not recklessly circulate my Qi!"

  Upon hearing this sentence, the faces of the four members of the Liu family changed once again. Liu Fang Tian said in a deep voice: "There is poison on the needle!"

  Tang Feng had been hiding outside the house, and through the conversation of these four people, he had already figured out their positions. Four flying needles shot in from outside the window, and since these four people were in their own home, they didn't have any vigilance at all, so they were hit simultaneously.

  Now that he was reminded by Liu Fangtian, the three great elders who had made some movements earlier suddenly felt a sinking sensation in their dantian, and when they wanted to mobilize their Lianqi, they found that they couldn't mobilize it at all.

  The toxicity of the Yān Cǎo is so overbearing, it's the natural enemy of cultivators, specializing in suppressing Qi. As a mid-tier Heaven Stage expert, Bai Xiaolou lost all his strength after being poisoned by the Yān Cǎo for just a moment, let alone these four Mystic Stage cultivators?

  "There's poison on the needle!" Tang Feng said with a smile, pulling over a chair and sitting down with a flourish.

  The four members of the Liu family took a deep breath, clearly they had also heard of the great name of Mang Cao, and their faces were filled with bitter smiles. This... was also too much for them to handle.

  The rare and unparalleled Withered Grass is even more potent than the three medicinal herbs that can detoxify it. They couldn't help but wonder where this dignified young man had found such a thing.
