The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Feng Jiuxiao said: "This is the most important place in Wuyou Valley, why is there no one guarding it?"

The old man said, “Perhaps they are short of manpower and don’t want to disperse their forces.”

"Where else could the Valley Master be imprisoned?"

"I'm not sure now!"

"Then let's go to Listening Snow Tower!"

"Listening Snow Tower? That's where the Valley Master lives."

"Yeah, that's where it is!"

"Okay, please follow me. Ah Niu, you follow me!" A sturdy young man wearing a white scarf bowed and responded, "Yes, Great Elder!"

Everyone followed the great elder towards Tingxue Tower.

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Can you tell me what happened here?"

The Great Elder sighed, "The Valley Master's Junior Brother Lu Kongming was once expelled from Worry-Free Valley, but he came back a few days ago! He bewitched all of us and locked us up!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I see. So there was no bloody battle?"

The Great Elder said, "There are definitely deaths, but not many. Lu Kongming will not act recklessly. If he really fights a bloody battle, it will end up in a scorched earth, and he will get nothing. It's not worth it!"

"I think the senior is also a ninth-level expert, right?"

The Great Elder felt a little ashamed, "What's the use of the Ninth Realm? Isn't it still a trap?"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What kind of poison was Senior infected with?"

The Great Elder said: "It should be 'Spring Breeze and Rain'."

Feng Jiuxiao was startled, "Spring breeze turns into rain?"

"That's right! It melts into water without color, tastes good when eaten, and kills people like a March breeze! It's as fine as morning frost, and melts when it touches water, disperses when it encounters heat, and dissolves into tea or wine like a clear spring. There is no reaction when a silver needle is used to poke it, but it tastes slightly sweet when applied to the tip of the tongue. After three breaths, the root of the tongue turns iron red. Ordinary people can't detect it at all!"

Pang Shiwu was also surprised: "So powerful?"

The great elder said, "Haha, that's right! In the past, the Tang Palace called it "willow catkins killing" - it was hard to tell if it was mixed with poplar catkins in the soup! There is also a common name in the martial arts world called "Yan Luo's smile" - the corners of the dead person's lips will rise! But for people with deep skills, they may not die, but their skills will be exhausted and they will become useless!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Is there an antidote?"

The white-haired elder said, "Of course there is! Snow Mountain Cordyceps Soup can cure this poison!"

"Is there an antidote in the valley?"

"We don't have it, and I don't know if Lu Lu has it, but I know the formula for the antidote. It only requires the prescription medicine of the Tibetan Glacier Golden Winged Moth larvae. I happen to have this larvae in stock in my valley! After all, refining the anti-aging cream requires various herbs, so I have prepared everything."

"That's good. Senior, why don't you arrange for someone to find the herbs and boil the antidote first? After that, we can look for the Valley Master later! This way, we won't be delayed. What do you think?"

The elder thought about it and realized that it made sense. "Okay! Ah Niu, come closer!"

After he finished telling Ah Niu, he immediately said, "Then let's go to Listening Snow Tower!"

The sun is scorching at this time, so there is naturally no snow.

But the poplar catkins in the valley were flying all over the sky like snow, and the Tingxue Tower seemed to be standing in the wind and snow!

The seven-story flying eaves are like crane wings spread out, the green tiles are covered with snow, the eaves are hanging high, and the colored glaze is glowing under the reflection of the skylight.

There is a plaque on each floor, with each stroke of the pen incisively and vividly depicted!
The first level, “Observing the Mind”

The second layer, "Listening to the Rain"

The third floor, "Moon-catching"

The fourth floor, “Smell the fragrance”

The fifth floor, "Fusong"

The sixth level, "Looking at the Clouds" The seventh level, "Asking the Way"

There is a person standing at the railing on each floor.

On the first floor, there was a middle-aged man. He stood in the shadow of the blue brick floor, his sword-like brows pressed down on his eyes as deep as an ancient well. His knuckles unconsciously rubbed the whitened cloud pattern on his cuffs, but his eyes seemed to penetrate the carved window lattices, nailing Feng Jiuxiao and others to death in front of the building!

The second layer is a woman. Her almond eyes were shattered into ripples by the bells hanging from the eaves, and her hands were holding the faded red railing. The rouge on her face was just right, and when the breeze blew through her hair by her ears, her golden hairpin made a pleasant tinkling sound!

Feng Jiuxiao and the others came to the door of the first floor. They could no longer see the faces of the people on the third floor, so they no longer cared and asked the middle-aged man directly, "Are you guarding the door?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, sensing the dangerous aura from the young man, "Who are you?" He then glanced at the Great Elder and frowned, "You... are the Great Elder?"

The Great Elder said calmly: "Quickly release the Valley Master!"

The middle-aged man sneered: "Just you?"

Suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him, it was a young man in black!
The disdain on the middle-aged man's face suddenly turned into caution!
He looked the black-clothed boy up and down, only to feel that he was full of murderous intent. He could not sense the other party's fighting strength for a moment. Suddenly, his right eyelid twitched, and he instinctively glanced at the black-clothed boy's waist. Then his face changed, "Are you Pang Shiwu?"

Pang Shiwu was shocked. "Do you know me?"

The caution on the middle-aged man's face instantly turned into fear!

This young man in black turned out to be Pang Shiwu!
The middle-aged man's mind raced as he pondered over a countermeasure, but when his eyes swept across the man in white clothes and golden hair, all his fantasies were instantly thrown out of his mind. He clasped his fists and said, "I am blind and do not know the relationship between Wuyou Valley and you all. I hope you can forgive me for any misunderstandings! I will leave this place of trouble right away!" As he said that, he wanted to retreat!

Pang Shiwu frowned, "Did I let you go?"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned pale! He wanted to run but didn't dare to! Because he knew that "Feng's arrows never miss their target"! Even if he ran away from a hundred feet away, he would still be shot through the heart!

He forced himself to remain calm and said with a dry laugh, "What do you want, young man?"

Pang Shiwu said: "Let me ask you a few questions!"

The middle-aged man thought: What is coming will eventually come!
He said respectfully, "Excuse me!"

Pang Shiwu asked, "Is the Valley Master up there?"

The middle-aged man said: "Yes! On the seventh floor!"

"There are several experts guarding each floor!"

"There is one person on each floor from the first to the sixth floor, and seven people on the seventh floor."

"Are they all at the peak of the Ninth Realm?"

"No! The first to sixth floors are all at the eighth level, and only the seventh floor is at the peak of the ninth level!"

"Which sect are you from?"

"I am... I am from the Tiandu Sect!"

"Isn't the Tiandu Sect gone?"

"Haha, yes, I know the gang leader is dead and the gang is disbanded. I should be called the 'Day Before Yesterday' gang!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Tiandu Sect is Tiandu Sect, there is no such thing as moving forward or not. As long as you raise the banner and claim yourself as the leader of Tiandu Sect, won't Tiandu Sect be able to regroup?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, "Young man, you must be joking. I don't have the guts to do that!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I'll lend you my courage!"

The middle-aged man was startled, "What?" Then he seemed to understand something, and he said awkwardly: "Even if the young man supports me to send the leader that day, my martial arts, prestige, and strength are not enough to convince the crowd..."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "If I say you can do it, then you can do it!"

The middle-aged man was stunned and at a loss for a moment!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Go and gather the remaining members of Tiandu Sect, and tell them that you have the support of the owner of Yingyue Villa. I believe that those people will definitely hear the news and gather under the banner of Tiandu Sect again!"

The middle-aged man suppressed his excitement and asked cautiously: "Feng... Lord, I wonder why the Lord thinks so highly of me?" Young Master Feng changed the title to Lord, which clearly showed that he had accepted Feng Jiuxiao's proposal! Moreover, with his shrewdness, he naturally knew that if he wanted to get a gift, he had to pay the corresponding price!

If you want to become a big boss who dominates a place, you will be glorious in front of others, but you will be miserable behind others! If you want to sit on the position of the leader of Tiandu Sect, you have to become a contracted slave of the owner of Yingyue Mountain Villa! He still has this self-knowledge! Otherwise, why would others support you, a person with three nothings and two lows - no power, no influence, no background, low combat power and low reputation - to become the overlord of a place?
Feng Jiuxiao laughed, "Why do I like you? It's nothing, it's just a whim!" (End of this chapter)
