Chapter 29 Yilin's Disappearance
While Yu Canghai was delayed by Li Yunshang, Yue Feng had already killed Saigo Ichiken and flew over. Yu Canghai secretly groaned, when suddenly he saw a large number of Japanese soldiers surrounding him from all directions. The general in the lead was fully armored, exuding a murderous aura, and his eyes were constantly scanning the scene.
Yu Canghai cried out, "General Yoshida, come and help me!" Before he finished speaking, a sword tip had already emerged from his mouth. The once-powerful leader of the Qingcheng Sect died by Yue Feng's sword.
Yoshida brandished his pistol, directing his men to take over the battlefield. Soldiers surged past him like a tide, and Yoshida suddenly leaped up from the ground, raising his pistol and smashing it down on a soldier's head.
The soldier darted left and right, weaving in and out of the crowd like an eel. Yoshida's attacks were swift, but he couldn't touch the man. Soon, the man arrived beside Yue Feng, removing his disguise; he was none other than Yan Xingyun, the leader of the Swallow Sect.
Yan Xingyun said to Yue Feng, "We've found out. This guy named Yoshida is the chairman of the Fusang Association. He lives on a ship all year round and wanders around, so no one can find his whereabouts."
"He was hit by my unique hidden weapon, yet his attack was still so fierce. He's truly a master in the martial arts world. For the people of Fuzhou, having such a person alive is more of a curse than a blessing."
By this time, Chen Ji had slaughtered all of Xi Xiang's men, and Deng Jun and the others had also killed all the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. The group gathered together. Chen Ji, though exhausted, wore a relieved smile and said to Yan Xingyun:
"We're surrounded by the army here; no one can escape. Isn't it a bit too late for you to report this now?"
Yan Xingyun looked at Yue Feng and said, "If Brother Yue's arrangements relied on my intelligence, then it is indeed a bit late. But knowing Brother Yue as I do, he would never do something so unreliable."
Everyone turned their expectant gazes to Yue Feng. Yue Feng looked up at the dark night sky, where even the moon was obscured by dark clouds.
"It's time for dawn."
Everyone was bewildered when suddenly they heard the sound of bowstrings in the distance. Countless sparks lit up the night sky, flying up and down, pinning the closing Japanese soldiers to the ground. Lin Pingzhi shouted, "Fire arrows! Fire arrows from the Yu family army!"
The rockets fired in waves, one after another, more than ten volleys in total, wiping out most of Yoshida's soldiers. A booming voice laughed loudly from the hillside:
"Yoshida! I've wanted to kill you for a long time. You've always been a coward, but here I've caught you red-handed. Fire! Fire! Be careful not to hurt your own men!"
Yoshida was struck by Yan Xingyun's hidden weapon. At first, he didn't feel much of a reaction, but gradually the poison took effect, and he couldn't even speak. He could only frantically wave his paddle, ordering his men to retreat. But the Yu family army had already secretly completed their encirclement. Where could Yoshida and his men possibly escape to?
Surrounded by several loyal generals, Yoshida fled, and General Yu personally led a pursuit, leaving Yue Feng and his group idle. Han Yan leisurely descended the hillside and approached Yue Feng and the others, saying to Yue Feng, "I have fulfilled my mission. Did the reinforcements arrive in time?"
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word. That night, the group rested in Chenjia Village. Apart from a few bodyguards from Fuwei Escort Agency who were seriously injured, the rest of the group only suffered minor injuries.
The next day, Chen Ji went to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall to pay respects to the villagers killed by the Japanese pirates. News also came from General Yu's side that Yoshida had died in battle before dawn.
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing the news. Yue Feng proposed holding a banquet in Chenjia Village to reward the victorious Yu family army soldiers and also to entertain the villagers who had suffered greatly from the Japanese pirates. Everyone agreed and began making preparations.
By noon, everything was ready, and the Yu family army had returned in triumph. The banquet lasted from noon until late at night, and everyone was thoroughly drunk and thoroughly entertained before finally ending.
Another night passed, and the group returned to Fuzhou together. Several days later, Han Yan brought a wooden box to Yue Feng. Yue Feng opened it and found it full of silver notes.
Han Yan said, "The Fusang Society's assets are far greater than I imagined. This is just a small fraction; the rest has already been handed over to the imperial court."
Yue Feng knew that Han Yan must have done his best to help him, so he accepted the silver notes without saying anything. Before leaving, Han Yan said to Yue Feng, "I know you won't stay in Fuzhou forever, but if you come again, be sure to let me know. We'll have a good drink then."
After Han Yan left, Yue Feng divided the silver notes into four parts, one for each of Yanzimen, Fuwei Escort Agency, Chen Ji, and Deng Jun.
Several days later, the members of the Swallow Sect left Fuzhou. Yue Feng received a message from Yue Buqun, urging him to quickly go to Hengyang to attend Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony at the Hengshan Sect. Yue Feng gathered everyone and told them the news. Chen Ji, Deng Jun, and Lin Pingzhi all wanted to go to Hengyang with Yue Feng.
Lin Zhennan bought several fine horses and gifted them to Yue Feng and the others, and also prepared everything else they needed for the journey. The four traveled from east to west, traveling by day and resting by night, and arrived at a small town near Hengyang that evening.
Seeing several nuns shopping in the town, Yue Feng said to Chen Ji and the others, "They are from the Hengshan Sect. It seems we haven't arrived too late."
The town was too small and there weren't many good inns, so Yue Feng and his companions just found one to stay at.
Yue Feng rested in his room for a while, then opened the control panel and saw that he had 270 access points left. Most of these access points were obtained from the battle of Chenjia Village, and a small portion were earned on his way to Hengyang.
Yue Feng knew that Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Retirement Ceremony" was a top-tier event in the martial arts world, attracting countless renowned and unknown masters to Hengyang City. Coupled with the commotion he had caused in Fujian, it was truly hard to predict what would happen then.
He has always been accustomed to planning ahead, a habit that has repeatedly saved him from danger, and this time was no exception.
Yue Feng took stock of the martial arts techniques he currently possessed:
[The Ten Elders of the Demonic Cult's Ultimate Technique: Mastery]
[One Fusion - Giant Spirit Golden Body: Grand Completion]
【Yi Rong · Yuntai Flying Crossing: Minor Success】
[Demon-Subduing Palm: Minor Success]
[The Secret to Overcoming Evil and Revealing Righteousness: The Great Success]
[Golden Breeze and Jade Dew Finger: Great Achievement]
【Second Fusion - Sky-Piercing Demon Sword: Beginner】
After considering it for a while, Yue Feng began to add points.
[Remaining Access Points: 200]
【Demon-Subduing Palm: Mastery】
[Remaining Access Points: 110]
[Second Fusion - Sky-Piercing Demon Sword: Minor Completion]
Yue Feng put away the panel, and seeing that it was still not late, he called Chen Ji and the others to go out for drinks. When they arrived at a restaurant, they saw two young nuns bowing to several Taoist priests in the main hall.
"Senior Uncle Tiansong, fellow disciples of the Taishan Sect, my junior sister Yilin has gone missing. Could you please help me search for her?"
The two young nuns were extremely respectful, and Tian Song and the other members of the Taishan Sect, emboldened by the wine, readily agreed. The group hurriedly left. Yue Feng said to Chen Ji and the others, "Yilin is my junior sister; we must find a way to locate her."
