From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

In a vacant meadow outside the city, Shi Yin whistled, and the whistle, amplified by his internal energy, carried for miles.

Before long, the horse he had been letting roam freely came over and nuzzled his hand affectionately with its head.

Shi Yin mounted his horse and rode back to the Central Plains.

This trip has yielded quite a lot. After leaving the Wang family, they first went to Dali and obtained the Six Meridians Divine Sword, One Yang Finger, and Flame Blade. Then they rushed to the Heavenly Vulture Palace and obtained the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Supreme Skill, the Heavenly Mountain Plum Blossom Hand, and the Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palm. After that, they hurried to the Western Xia Imperial Palace and obtained the Lesser Formless Skill, the White Rainbow Palm, the Secret Technique of Transmitting Sound and Searching Souls, the recipe and antidote for the Sorrowful Breeze, and so on.

Upon returning to the Central Plains, Shi Yin originally planned to visit Shaolin Temple to obtain the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing.

But then they heard that the Apricot Grove Gathering was about to begin.

Shi Yin immediately changed direction, preparing to go to Xingzilin to join in the fun.

This is a major turning point in Qiao Feng's life. From today onwards, he will no longer be the leader of the Beggars' Sect, nor even a Han Chinese. His identity as a Khitan will be made public.

At this point, Qiao Feng's life took a complete 180-degree turn.

In this era, the grievances between the Han people and the Khitans and Tanguts, and between the Song and the Liao and Western Xia, cannot be explained in just a few words.

Ethnic grievances even surpassed the distinction between good and evil in the martial arts world.

The best path for Qiao Feng would have been to leave the Central Plains immediately after his identity was revealed and go into seclusion, never to set foot in the Central Plains again, and to no longer concern himself with the rights and wrongs of the martial arts world there.

Otherwise, if he had gotten involved in the conflicts between the Han and the Khitan, or between the Song and the Liao, he would have been destined for tragedy.

Outside the city of Wuxi, Jiangsu, in Xingzilin, many members of the Beggars' Sect came and went, all there to join in the fun.

People in the martial arts world love to join in the fun. This time, the Beggars' Sect made such a big commotion that although few people from other sects came to join in the fun, many people from within the Beggars' Sect came from all over the country. Soon, the small Apricot Grove was packed with people.

Coincidentally, those troublemaking Beggar Clan leaders wanted as many people as possible, because only with more people could they solidify Qiao Feng's case into an ironclad one.

Shi Yin didn't want to squeeze in with the group of Beggars' Sect members below. With so many Beggars' Sect members, the air down there must be terrible.

The smell is something you have to experience to know.

When Shi Yin arrived, he went straight up a tree. Anyway, there wasn't much else in the apricot grove, just apricot trees.

He never worked in the fields.

They quickly arrived at the center, where a group of high-ranking members of the Beggars' Sect were waiting for Qiao Feng to arrive.

Shi Yin was just glad that he was in a tree and couldn't smell those smells.

Those members of the Beggars' Sect also saw Shi Yin floating on top of the apricot tree.

Basically, people just watched out of curiosity; no one provoked him.

Even the most arrogant martial arts practitioners wouldn't provoke a master with such superb lightness skills without reason.

It's unclear how good Shi Yin's martial arts are, but his lightness skill is definitely top-notch, and his internal strength must be considerable, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move so easily.

These two points alone are enough to make them untouchable.

Not long after, Qiao Feng arrived. Dressed in coarse cloth, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Qiao Feng indeed looked righteous and convincing.

Unfortunately, he was a Khitan. In the Central Plains of that era, being born that way was a cardinal sin.

The Khitans could not survive in the martial arts world of the Central Plains.

I don't know if it's because of the protagonist's halo, but even though Shi Yin had already taken away the Beiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Steps in advance, Duan Yu still seemed to have other opportunities.

All I can say is that the protagonist's luck is terrifyingly powerful.

He still came to the Central Plains and still swore brotherhood with Qiao Feng at Songhelou.

After Qiao Feng swore brotherhood, he received a message from the Beggars' Sect and immediately rushed to Xingzilin.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan, Azhu, Abi, Bao Butong, and Feng Bo'e also happened to be there watching.

She didn't listen to a word of what Shi Yin advised her at Mantuo Manor and continued to foolishly pursue Murong Fu.

Not long after Shi Yin left, Wang Yuyan couldn't sit still any longer and fled Mantuo Manor.

At this moment, she also clearly saw Shi Yin, who was standing in a conspicuous spot.

Compared to a few months ago, Shigin has grown a little taller. But his appearance hasn't changed much.

Wang Yuyan recognized Shi Yin at a glance and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Miss, what's wrong? Do you know that person?"

Azhu noticed her gaze and looked over as well, immediately spotting Shi Yin standing atop the apricot tree.

"I know him." Wang Yuyan nodded.

"Miss, you know such a person? How did you meet him?"

Abi was surprised after hearing this.

Although she and A'Zhu were just maids, they were from the Murong family and had a keen eye. They knew that this person was definitely not a simple character, and at the very least, his lightness skill would not be bad.

"He visited Mantuo Manor, and he's quite young, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old now," Wang Yuyan said.

"Oh, it's only this small?" Abi exclaimed in surprise.

The others were also somewhat surprised. Such martial arts skills at such a young age? What will they be like when they grow up?

"Then isn't he even more outstanding than the young master was in his youth?"

Abi murmured.

"Hey, no, no, we don't know much about this person's strength yet. What if this person is just good at light footwork?" Bao Butong retorted habitually.

"No, he's skilled in many things, not just light footwork."

Wang Yuyan said in a low voice that Shi Yin had stayed at her house for so long, and she had even taught him basic martial arts knowledge. Wang Yuyan knew how much martial arts he had practiced back then.

Shi Yin knew what Wang Yuyan and the others were talking about below, and his mental scan took in all the activity within a range of tens of meters below.

But that had nothing to do with him. He couldn't very well beat up Murong Fu just because of what the others were saying to prove his strength, could he? Although he really didn't like Murong Fu.

When Qiao Feng arrived, he was met with hostility from the entire Beggars' Sect.

The matter was not complicated. Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Clan, was murdered. Ma's wife, Kang Min, harbored resentment because Qiao Feng had looked down on her years ago. She joined forces with the ambitious Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing to set a trap for Qiao Feng.

Quan Guanqing secretly instigated the four elders, Song, Xi, Chen, and Wu, to fabricate charges against Qiao Feng for colluding with the Khitans and murdering Ma Dayuan, planning to depose the gang leader and seize power in public.

Qiao Feng was quite decisive. Upon arriving at the scene, he immediately sensed something was wrong, subdued Quan Guanqing, stabilized the situation, and sent people to rescue the Transmission of Skills and Law Enforcement Elders who had been placed under house arrest for supporting him.

The four elders acknowledged that the subordinates had committed treason, and according to the Beggars' Sect rules, rebellion was punishable by death with a magic blade.

Qiao Feng, mindful of the four elders' decades of service to the country and unwilling to see the Beggars' Sect destroy its foundation, publicly stabbed himself four times to take the blame for the rebellion on behalf of the four elders, exchanging his own blood for their safety. The four elders, feeling guilty, submitted.

Before the incident had completely subsided, Elder Xu, a senior member of the Beggars' Sect, arrived with a group of witnesses and presented fatal evidence:

Master Zhiguang, Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong and Tan Po, Shan Zheng and others publicly recounted the bloody battle at Yanmen Pass thirty years ago: the heroes of the Central Plains intercepted and killed the Khitan warriors, mistakenly killing Qiao Feng's parents, and the infant Qiao Feng was left in the Central Plains to be raised.

The former gang leader, Wang Jiantong, kept a secret letter from the eldest brother, which stated, "This boy has Khitan blood and will surely seek revenge one day. He cannot be the gang leader."

Therefore, Qiao Feng's life was destined to be a tragedy. His predecessor, Wang Jiantong, never trusted him. Ma Dayuan was there to keep an eye on him, and if he made any moves, Ma Dayuan would immediately remove him from his position as leader.
