Chapter 169: Chapter 116: Investigating Jianghu Mysteries: Shi Feiyang Solves the Sect Leader’s Disappearance (Part 2)

It first trembled slightly, emitting a ”buzzing” sound, making its final struggle.

Then it gradually shrank and the light dimmed, like a candle about to extinguish.

Finally, it transformed into a blue ice sphere, with a ”whoosh,” it fell to the ground, and with a ”crack,” it shattered into pieces, scattering like blue snowflakes falling.

The faint light in the cave also dimmed significantly with the shattering of the light ball, releasing a sigh of relief for the temporary resolution of the crisis.

Thus, Shi Feiyang led the heroes deeper into the cave to search for the missing sect leaders.

The cave was filled with a damp and decaying odor, and the stone walls were covered with moss.

The ground beneath was slippery and difficult to navigate, with each step making a ”squelching” sound.

They encountered a narrow passage, with mysterious runes carved into the stone walls on both sides of the passage.

The runes emitted a faint glow, speaking of ancient incantations.

As they stepped into the passage, the runes suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance, with a ”boom,” as if a bomb exploded beside them, a powerful suction force surged from the depths of the passage, making a ”whoosh” sound, as if it was going to swallow them whole.

Shi Feiyang immediately gathered his profound inner strength, planting his legs firmly on the ground like an old pine tree, remaining unmoved amid the raging winds.

He loudly warned his companions, ”Be careful, it’s a trap!” His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the passage.

He quickly stabbed his Myanmar Saber into the ground, with a ”pop,” the blade embedded itself into the stone, resisting that powerful suction force.

Following that, he performed the Bright Jade Technique, cold air emanating from his body with a ”sizzle,” freezing the glow of the runes, instantly covering them with a thick layer of frost to slow the impact of the suction.

At the same time, Jin Liufu pulled out a rope from his chest, moved swiftly, with a ”swish,” the rope cut through the air in an arc, binding everyone tightly together to prevent them from being scattered by the suction.

He shouted while tying, ”Everyone, hold on!”

Together, they clenched their teeth and fought against the powerful suction.

With the combined efforts of the heroes, they finally resisted that powerful suction.

With a ”whoosh,” they all let out a sigh of relief, their foreheads covered with sweat.

They carefully passed through the passage and entered a spacious cave hall.

The hall was filled with a mysterious aura, with glowing gemstones embedded in the walls, emitting a faint light, making the entire hall appear dreamlike and surreal. In the center of the hall lay a massive stone platform, on it rested the missing sect leaders, their complexions pale as paper, their breaths weak, surrounded by a circle of eerie blue light, flickering and making a ”sizzling” sound.

Shi Feiyang and his gathered heroes, after arduous efforts, finally managed to rescue the unfortunate sect leaders under the control of mysterious powers. These leaders hailed from different martial arts sects, including Zhao Qingfeng, the leader of the Qingfeng Sword Sect known for Qingfeng Swordsmanship, dressed in a green robe with a scholarly appearance, though physically weak, his eyes showed determination; Sun Tiezhang, the Sect Leader of the Iron Palm Gang, famous for the Iron Palm Technique, with a burly build and a beard-covered face, upon rescue, he firmly grasped Shi Feiyang’s hand, filled with gratitude; Qian Wanying, the Sect Leader of the Flying Eagle Sect, known for the Flying Eagle Body Technique, agile and sharp-eyed, clasped his hands in thanks to everyone, his posture still upright; Zhou Cangyue, Sect Leader of the Diancang Saber Sect, revered in Jianghu for Diancang Saber Technique, with a long saber at his waist and a stern look, now cast a respectful gaze upon Shi Feiyang and others; Lin Yufeng, Master of the Eight Trigrams Qimen Formation, holding a compass with a composed expression, remembered everyone’s life-saving grace; and Ma Qianli, the Sect Leader of the Divine Movement Sect, famous for Tracking Technique, with a nimble figure, exclaimed excitedly, ”Thank you, heroes, without you, we might not have survived.”

After their rescue, these sect leaders expressed their deep gratitude to Shi Feiyang, the Heroic Sakura Association, and all the heroes present.

They were thankful for Shi Feiyang and his allies who, unafraid of danger, stepped forward to rescue them from the control of mysterious forces, allowing them to regain freedom and restore the dignity and honor of their sects.

For a moment, the cave hall was filled with voices of gratitude, and the bonds between everyone grew stronger through this crisis and rescue.

Shi Feiyang returned to ”Jinhui Inn” in Jinan Prefecture, and after dinner, he went back to the attic on the third floor.

Upon entering the attic, he was greeted by an antique pear wood desk, with intricate patterns, smooth as a mirror, and on it lay a set of exquisite scholar’s four treasures. The brush’s tip was sharp, each bristle distinct; the ink stick was dark and glossy, faintly emitting a fragrance of ink; the rice paper was white as snow, supple and resilient; the inkstone was beautifully carved, with intricate designs vividly depicting ancient stories.

Beside the desk was an elaborately carved redwood chair, with a back engraved with a pattern of dragons and phoenixes in harmony, smooth lines, and exquisite craftsmanship, exuding an extraordinary aura. On the wall hung a majestic landscape painting, with towering peaks rising to the clouds, mist swirling around, waterfalls cascading down the mountainside, splashing layers of water, as if the crisp sound of flowing water could be heard.

On both sides of the painting was a couplet written in cursive script, the handwriting was powerful and vigorous, with a sharp brush stroke, it read, ”With gallantry and virtue travel the world, with sword and heart protect the people,” aligning perfectly with Shi Feiyang’s identity and aspirations.
