"Lord Situ, have you really decided to go after Feng Yuqin first?" the Sect Master of the Soul - Separating Sect asked with a bad look on his face.
"Yes," Situ Ming, the Lord of the Starfall Hall, nodded and glanced casually at the Sect Master of the Soul - Separating Sect. "If Sect Master Ma wants to join us, I'd be happy to have you. But if you still insist on dealing with those small forces first, then we'll have to go our separate ways."
The Sect Master of the Soul - Separating Sect looked a bit ugly, but since Situ Ming had put it like that, he had no choice but to part ways with the Starfall Hall.
He glanced at the others and said, "Feng Yuqin has left no trace at all. It won't be easy to find her. But dealing with those small forces will at least yield some results, which can boost the morale of our subordinates and prepare them for the upcoming battles."
Situ Ming also looked at the others, his eyes solemn.
The leaders of various forces shifted their gazes back and forth between Situ Ming and Ma Yuanliang, the Sect Master of the Soul - Separating Sect.
They were weighing which side to choose.
Finally, to Situ Ming's great surprise, all of them chose Ma Yuanliang.
Seeing that everyone had chosen him, Ma Yuanliang looked at Situ Ming smugly. "Lord Situ, sorry. It seems they also think my plan is more reliable."
Situ Zihan snorted and said in a disdainful tone, "With the strength of several major sects, you're going to bully a bunch of insignificant small forces. You've got the nerve to say that."
Ma Yuanliang's face froze. "Miss Zihan, if we choose the small forces, we'll at least get some rewards. But for you... you might end up with nothing."
After all, they still had no trace of Feng Yuqin.
He didn't think Feng Yuqin would be that easy to deal with.
He didn't want to end up with nothing.
It was better to gain something first and then make further plans.
...
Not long after the Sect Master of the Soul - Separating Sect left with the other forces, the Alliance Leader of the All - Under - Heaven Alliance got the news about this discussion.
When the Alliance Leader of the All - Under - Heaven Alliance was discussing things with Feng Yuqin before, Feng Yuqin had said that the forces formed by those spirit stones might split.
If they couldn't split in the end, he was to ask the insider he had placed in the Starfall Hall to do something.
However, Feng Yuqin had also said that it was more likely for them to split on their own, but the Alliance Leader wasn't sure.
Still, he sent a message to his people as Feng Yuqin had instructed.
The purpose was to make those forces split.
Unexpectedly, the outcome was just as Feng Yuqin had predicted. Those forces really split.
This was extremely beneficial to them.
The Alliance Leader of the All - Under - Heaven Alliance started to carry out the plan they had discussed before.
And Feng Yi finally brought the people back.
Feng Yuqin looked at the two unconscious people on the ground and asked, "Are they both from the Wu Family?"
"One of them is related to gu poisons," Feng Yi pointed at the thin and dark old man. "I guess he's someone well - known in the Wu Family, but I haven't had time to find out exactly who he is. But he must be an important figure."
"How did you manage to bring them here?" Feng Yuqin raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "And didn't you encounter any other powerful experts?"
Since he was someone well - known in the Wu Family, there should have been powerful experts protecting him secretly.
"Seems like something happened to Wu Kaicheng, and they sent some people to protect him. So there weren't enough people here," Feng Yi recalled the situation and said cheerfully. "The people from the Wu Family probably didn't expect me to come and capture someone, so I just happened to run into this opportunity."
Feng Yuqin walked around the two people twice. "Maybe they thought that even if someone wanted to capture someone, they would never target the Wu Family. After all, the Wu Family has always been very low - key. Apart from their high - profile poisons, they've kept a low profile in other matters, so low - key that it's easy for everyone to ignore their family."
"The Wu Family is indeed very low - key compared to other forces," Feng Yi asked. "My Lady, do you plan to study the pills in this man's body first or find out the identity of the other one?"
Feng Yuqin took out a pill and gave it to Feng Yi, pointing at the old man. "Feed it to him."
Feng Yi immediately did as he was told.
A few moments later, the thin and dark old man who had taken the pill woke up.
A look of confusion flashed across his eyes. He didn't know how he had fallen unconscious.
But then he sensed something was wrong and sat up warily.
Feng Yi was standing right in front of him.
The thin and dark old man saw a pair of feet. He looked up and felt a bit flustered.
"Who are you?" the thin and dark old man didn't recognize Feng Yi.
"Who are you?" Feng Yi countered.
"I..." The thin and dark old man was about to reveal his identity, but suddenly realized his situation and immediately shut up.
Seeing this, Feng Yuqin took out another pill.
This time, without Feng Yuqin's instruction, Feng Yi stepped forward, took the pill, and quickly stuffed it into the thin and dark old man's mouth before he could react.
"Um... What did you give me?" The thin and dark old man was forced to take the pill, and a look of panic flashed across his eyes.
However, when he sensed what kind of pill he had just taken, he became even more panicked.
The Wu Family had been dealing with poisons for a long time.
They knew about the Truth - Telling Pill.
So he took out a dagger and wanted to stab himself to knock himself out from the pain.
But Feng Yi was faster.
The moment he took out the dagger, Feng Yi kicked it away.
The next moment, the pill took effect, and a dull look appeared in the thin and dark old man's eyes.
Feng Yuqin walked up to the thin and dark old man. "What's your name?"
"Wu Cang," the thin and dark old man replied dully.
"What's your relationship with Wu Kaicheng?"
"Uncle - nephew relationship."
Feng Yuqin glanced at Feng Yi. "I remember in your information, the old Master Wu didn't have any living brothers?"
"Indeed, but this Wu Cang is the older brother of the old Master Wu, and the information shows that he's already dead," Feng Yi also felt a bit shocked.
A person who should have been dead was standing right in front of him.
Feng Yuqin looked at Wu Cang again and asked, "Weren't you dead?"
Hearing this, Wu Cang's expression paused for a moment, as if struggling against the effect of the Truth - Telling Pill.
If it had been an ordinary Truth - Telling Pill, Wu Cang might have succeeded.
But unfortunately, he had encountered the Truth - Telling Pill refined by Feng Yuqin herself. So a few moments later, Wu Cang could only answer according to Feng Yuqin's question. "I'm dead to the outside world. This was a plan my younger brother Wu An and I came up with. He became the head of the family and did some things to confuse the outside world, while I acted in secret and did some things that couldn't be seen in the light."
"What are these things that can't be seen in the light?" After asking this question, Feng Yuqin never expected to hear so many unknown secrets about the Wu Family.
