Chapter 623: Lu Xiaofeng is being hunted
"There is a dragon in Shenzhou, spitting out Yuan as a pearl, the five Jias form a circle, and those who get the energy will prosper."

"It is said that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book contains a method of how to seize the earth energy of other martial arts worlds and replenish one's own energy."

The people of Southern Wulin know all too well what it means to lose the earthly aura.

It is easy to imagine what it means to obtain the earth's energy.

Having said this, everyone in the restaurant gradually understood the meaning.

"I understand!"

"The Miao King must want to use the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book to seize the earth energy of other martial arts to enrich the Miao territory."

"As a chivalrous man, Lu Xiaofeng naturally couldn't stand this kind of behavior, so he took the book and hid it."

“There was a conflict between the two sides because of this.”

The people in the restaurant suddenly understood and nodded, agreeing with this statement.

For a time, everyone strongly condemned the Miao King's sinister intentions.

Suddenly someone asked, "If that's the case, why are the people from the Suzaku Dynasty chasing after Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Is it difficult to understand?"

A drunken man directly pointed out the truth: "Seizing the earth's energy can enrich the country and strengthen the people. Which emperor would not want such a good thing?"

"The emperor must have set his sights on the contents of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book and wanted to use it to seize the earth's energy for the Southern Martial Arts World, so he attacked Lu Xiaofeng."

At this point, everyone in the restaurant fell silent.

To be fair, this kind of behavior is selfish and self-serving, which is extremely unfair.

But people have double standards.

If the Miao King were to do this, he would have ulterior motives and would be punished by both heaven and man.
But if Emperor Suzaku were to do it, it would be for the country and the people, and it would be for the world.

If the emperor of the Suzaku Dynasty succeeds in gaining ground for the Southern Martial Arts World, the people who can directly or indirectly benefit from it will be themselves, the people of the Southern Martial Arts World.

"Ah... so confusing!"

An unknown passerby drank a glass of wine and sighed heavily, "What do you think, should we help Huang Chao or Lu Xiaofeng?"

Passerby B slammed the table and laughed: "What are you thinking? With our limited abilities, who can we help? Don't get caught up in the storm and get killed by others, we should be grateful!"

Passerby A's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head and muttered, "Yeah...that's right..."

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We little guys should just go to bed as soon as possible!"

After he finished speaking, happy laughter rang out in the restaurant.

Lu Ping also laughed along with the crowd.

At sunset, he got up, left the restaurant and walked towards his home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I noticed an unusual breathing sound in the house.

"What happened? Was there a thief?"

Lu Ping hesitated for two seconds, then flicked his finger hidden under his sleeve. Suddenly a strong wind blew in the room, and the candlelight lit up with a "click".

Just as the candle was lit, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the blind spot behind him and attacked the sleeping point on Lu Ping's body.

But with Lu Ping's abilities, how could such a sneak attack work?

He tilted his head slightly and took a step forward, easily avoiding the sneak attack from the person. When he looked up again, a strange yet familiar figure appeared before him.

"Um... it's you, Lu Xiaofeng?!"

Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, the person in front of me is still the same as before, with his beard and eyebrows just as eye-catching. Who else could it be but 'Four Eyebrows' Lu Xiaofeng?
The moment he saw Lu Ping, Lu Xiaofeng was also stunned.

After carefully examining him for several seconds, he asked doubtfully, "You...you are Lu Ping? You're back?!"

After a brief moment of disbelief, Lu Xiaofeng heaved a sigh of relief: "It's great that you can come back at this time!"

"Now that you're back, I feel relieved..."

Why does this sound like something with ill intentions?
An unnatural look suddenly appeared on Lu Ping's face. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood emanating from Lu Xiaofeng.

"Are you injured?" "Hey... you found out so soon?"

Perhaps because he really regarded Lu Ping as his life-saving straw, Lu Xiaofeng not only relaxed at this moment, but he even dared to talk about his injury openly.

"It's okay now, the injury is not serious. But... in a few days, I may not be sure."

The two sat down in the house. Lu Ping casually threw a bottle of golden wound medicine over. Lu Xiaofeng took the medicine and applied it on himself.

Lu Ping then asked, "I heard from people in the restaurant today that you were being hunted down because of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Book. Is that true?"

"Ah... I hope this isn't true, but the injuries on my body can't be faked anyway."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed and told the truth about the troubles he was facing.

Just like what Lu Ping heard, he was being hunted by many forces because of the "Nine Dragons Book" on his body, and the injuries on his body were caused by the "Suzaku Society".

"Suzaku Club..."

Lu Ping's eyes flickered as he recalled carefully: "I still have some impression of this force. I remember that they are a killer organization directly under the emperor. In the past, people like Dugu Yihe and Jin Jiuling had faked their deaths to join them."

"You are absolutely right."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and continued, "It's just that during the years you were away, the Suzaku Club has also undergone a lot of changes."

"The biggest change is that more and more people in the world know about their existence..."

A few years ago, after the fall of 'Iron-hearted Divine Marquis' Zhu Wusi, the young emperor took back all the power of the Hulong Villa in order to prevent similar people from appearing again, and distributed it to several secret forces directly under his control.

The Suzaku Society is the biggest beneficiary among them.

Today, the Suzaku Society has become one of the four swords in the emperor's hands, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Jinyiwei, the Liushenmen, and the East and West Factories. On the contrary, the Huolong Villa has become an organization in name only.

"Four knives, two for the real work, one for the hard work, and the last one for the dirty work."

"The ones doing the dirty work are the Suzaku Society."

"It is said that all the members of the group are people who 'died' in the underworld. When they act, they do not use their original names, but use 'a certain month and a certain day' as a code name."

"There are 360 ​​days in a year, so it stands to reason that there are 360 ​​people in this organization."

Using dates as codes?
Isn’t this the Qinglong Society described by Gu Long?
"The code pattern has changed... I remember they didn't use dates before."

Lu Ping murmured softly, but did not take this small change to heart.

Now that they have put the organization on the table, it is reasonable to make some major reforms.

"I understand what happened with the Suzaku Society, but... why did you come to my house?"

After Lu Xiaofeng had applied the medicine, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it to moisten his throat. Then he said, "Of course I came here to seek refuge!"

"Now that you know my story, you should understand how much trouble I'm in now."

"In order to save my life, I must choose a place where no one will notice me, or preferably a place where no one knows about me."

"So I can't go to places like Ximen Chuxue and Hua Manlou's homes."

"After much thought, I finally thought of the only person who could help me, and that's Zhu Ting."

"Unfortunately, Zhu Ting is also very afraid of death, so he recommended me to come here."

This is not difficult to understand.

Before I came back a few days ago, the house was covered with thick dust. It was obvious that it had been empty for several years and no one had taken care of it. It could be said to be the most inconspicuous place in the entire town.

Moreover, Zhu Ting knew that the house belonged to Lu Ping, so he recommended Lu Xiaofeng to come here, perhaps with the idea that he hoped he could find something to protect himself in this house.

After understanding the reason why Lu Xiaofeng appeared here, Lu Ping immediately focused his attention on the key props that he was being hunted down and immediately spread out his hand.

"Take it out!"

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, blinked and said: "Take...what?"

Lu Ping sneered, "Stop playing dumb! You came to my house and disturbed my peaceful life, so I can't take the risk for you in vain, right?"

"Now, take out the Nine Dragons Book on you and show it to me!"
