"Do you know where Lin Changsheng is?"
Li Feng stared into Lin Qianqiu's eyes, trying to see if he was lying.
"I don't know."
"But I can contact him, and I can assure you he will appear at the Dharma Conference tomorrow. Don't you want an entry ticket to the inner venue? I can help you."
Lin Qianqiu t Li Feng's gaze.
"It seems you're telling the truth."
"I have no reason to lie to you."
"Moreover, the Dark Hall has already planned to let replace Lin Changsheng, but the cunning of my father is beyond imagination."
"He has woven his years of network into a key, and this key contains so secrets of the Dark Hall. But Lin Changsheng has hidden this key, and no one else knows where it is."
"Even though I'm his son, he's always been cautious with ."
"The Dark Hall cannot replace Lin Changsheng because of this key."
"Oh?"
Li Feng didn't expect Lin Qianqiu to reveal sothing so critical.
A key.
Containing the network Lin Changsheng has woven over the years, apparently, this network is Lin Changsheng's divine artifact.
This network, crafted by various thods, clearly isn't just maintained by personal connections, but involves vast interests and many shady trades and leverage.
"Aren't you afraid this key will fall into my hands by telling this?"
Lin Qianqiu looked at Li Feng.
"This key may be very useful to us, but it's not very useful to you. If you actually get this key, it might be a death sentence."
"Moreover, the Dark Hall is interested in the key. I am not; all I want is to break free from the Dark Hall's control and take revenge on Lin Changsheng, get what I want from him, and then I'll make my escape."
"Li Feng, what I said is sincere. We can work together."
The sincerity in Lin Qianqiu's eyes seed genuine, as if he really ant it.
Li Feng smirked and let out a snort.
"I have to admit, you've kind of swayed ."
After speaking, Li Feng suddenly raised his hand, chopping Lin Qianqiu's neck, making him faint imdiately.
Li Feng knocked out Lin Qianqiu, feeling slightly weakened himself.
Working with Lin Qianqiu.
Li Feng didn't even consider it; this guy could easily snap the neck of his ntor Gu Jiuyuan, even though Gu Jiuyuan was dood. But it showed this guy's ruthless nature.
As for Lin Changsheng, no matter what, he's his biological father, yet this guy ntioned it lightly.
Not to ntion whether what he said is true or false.
Working with him is like seeking skin with a tiger; too many unexpected incidents could occur, and Li Feng doesn't like surprises.
Moreover, Li Feng already had a better idea.
Li Feng took out his phone and called his Dragon Guards: "Where are you?"
Ten minutes later.
The sound of engines echoed outside the teahouse again. Several Dragon Guards rushed into the teahouse, seeing bodies sprawled all over, their spirits lifted.
"Young Master."
"Young Master, are you hurt?"
Li Feng peeked out from behind the counter and stood up when he saw the Dragon Guards: "It's just so external injuries, nothing serious. But I was poisoned by snake venom, causing so side effects."
"Finish off those who aren't dead, and handle everything. Take away the guys from the pillar; they still have so value."
"Get out of here."
After giving orders, Li Feng looked at the Dragon Guards across from him.
"Yes, Young Master."
"The three of you stay and clean up. You, take the others and get in the car."
One of the Dragon Guards quickly ordered, then assisted Li Feng out of the teahouse to the vehicle outside. They drove from the teahouse to a safe house the Dragon Guards had recently acquired.
The safe house was a second-hand car dealership, a two-story standalone building located on the main road on the outskirts of the city. At this hour, the surrounding shops were empty, and there was darkness all around.
Li Feng was helped up to the second floor, which had a lounge area. The Dragon Guard fetched an ergency dical kit to treat Li Feng's wounds.
The external injury looked intimidating but wasn't severe, just a skin-level cut that bled a lot. With so dicine and bandages, it was handled.
"Young Master, are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital for the snake bite?"
"I've already been given serum, so it's not a big problem. The toxin is circulating in my body, paralyzing my nerves. A night's rest should nearly restore ."
"Bring the person we took back over here."
"I have so questions for him."
Li Feng planned to disguise himself as Lin Qianqiu. Since Lin Qianqiu is Lin Changsheng's son, getting into the Dharma Conference's inner venue shouldn't be too difficult, and the chances to contact Lin Changsheng would be greater.
But before that, Li Feng needed to gather so firsthand information; otherwise, it would be inconvenient to be easily exposed with a few words.
...
The night passed without conversation.
The next day, the Changsheng Dharma Conference comnced as scheduled.
In front of the Wanjin Hotel, security was heavy. To hold this conference, nearly all major security firms in Zhongtian City were hired by the hotel.
Li Feng didn't show up as Lin Qianqiu; he arrived outside the hotel as Li Feng with an invitation.
His identity wasn't exposed yet.
Zhang Shengli and Zhao Xiaohui were under the control of the Dragon Guards, and Gu Jiuyuan's group had seemingly vanished from the human realm, so nobody knew about last night's events.
Li Feng went straight to the hotel entrance, presented his invitation, and passed through multiple layers of security to enter the hotel.
The hotel lobby was bustling like a large tour group had just checked in, with so reception staff holding signs.
The welcoming staff greeted the "familiar faces" warmly.
Everything was chaotic yet orderly.
Li Feng observed all this, feeling slightly "out of place" because his "introducer" was currently tied up in a small dark room.
"Li Feng."
Li Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to look behind him, and slightly frowned.
"What are you doing here?"
"Why can't I be here?"
Xiao Mingyue nodded arrogantly at Li Feng, her height of 1.7 ters complented by three-inch heels made her seem no shorter than Li Feng.
Li Feng glanced at Xiao Mingyue in her elegant dress that accentuated her graceful figure: "I almost forgot, Miss Xiao is still the personal disciple of Lin the Heavenly Master of the Longevity Sect."
"As long as you rember."
Xiao Mingyue's cool eyes swept over Li Feng: "How did you get here?"
Huacheng's Hidden Dragon, Li Feng, had clashed with her several tis in Sea City and even tried to reach into her domain to snatch sothing from under her nose.
Xiao Mingyue naturally rembered Li Feng vividly, especially their last encounter, where this bastard even flirted with her.
She didn't expect to see Li Feng at the Changsheng Dharma Conference.
Instinctively, Xiao Mingyue began pondering Li Feng's purpose for coming to the conference.
"Listen to your words, the Changsheng Dharma Conference is a grand event. It's rumored to have endless business opportunities. I have a lot of idle cash on hand, can't just let it rot like waste paper."
"Sister Xiao."
At this mont, a familiar voice ca from behind Li Feng.
