Zhang Jie, who was arrested by Li Yi and returned to Liu's mansion, clenched his teeth tightly after some torture and did not say a word. This made Mrs. Zhao angry. The loss of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, if Liu Qingfeng comes back and knows about it, I'm afraid even she will not be able to escape her anger.

After the auction of the Royal Dragon Villa ended, Liu Qingfeng, who had returned to Liu's mansion, knew about it and was immediately furious. He actually went to the place where Zhang Jie was imprisoned to extract a confession by words and deeds. Zhang Jie's thin body could no longer support it and fainted. Originally, Liu Qingfeng planned to wake Zhang Jie up again and continue to extort a confession, but after some examination, he found that Zhang Jie was not breathing, had no heartbeat, and became a dead man. Liu Qingfeng was so angry that Liu Kun sent someone to throw Zhang Jie's body into a small forest not far from the outside of Maple Leaf City, intending to feed it to the beasts! Later, Liu Qingfeng took the anger in his heart on the hired worker Sun Jianjian, but when Liu Kun led a group of people to Sun Jian's inn, Sun Jian's father and son had already heard the news and fled. In desperation, everyone had to smash the restaurant to the ground to vent the anger in their hearts.

This incident soon spread through the streets and alleys of Maple Leaf City, and everyone knew about it. One day later, news came from Liu's Mansion that Liu Kun, the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion, was cut off by Liu Qingfeng because he was not virtuous, and then died of excessive blood loss. At this point, this incident in Liu's mansion was able to fall.

And Zhang Peng, who escaped from Maple Leaf City, fled non-stop in the direction of the Valley of No Return. To outsiders, the Valley of No Return is a desperate place, but for Zhang Peng, it is a safe place. Previously, Zhang Peng spent seven days rushing from the Valley of No Return to Maple City, but now it only took three days to come to the edge of the Valley of No Return. Because during these three days of escape, Zhang Peng's shrinkage has unconsciously reached the realm of Dacheng. It's a lot faster than before. Zhang Peng, who came to the Valley of No Return, was already a little exhausted, and the flying knife on his back shoulder had already been pulled out by him, and the wound had already condensed. Zhang Peng, who came to the edge of the Valley of No Return, ran directly into it without the slightest hesitation, and if this scene was seen by outsiders, he would definitely be startled. Although Zhang Peng no longer has any extra strength, Zhang Peng is a little anxious when he thinks of Zhang Jie who fell into the hands of Liu Fu.

At the moment when Zhang Peng stepped into the Valley of No Return, the dustless Taoist who was meditating in the thatched hut in the depths slowly opened his eyes, and then looked outside the house and muttered: "It's only been less than twenty days to get back, can't you hold on?"

About an hour later, Zhang Peng's figure appeared outside the thatched house, Zhang Peng suddenly pushed the door in, but saw the dustless Taoist looking at him with a smile.

"Peng'er, you're back. The Dustless Daoist said with a smile.

Zhang Peng slowly approached the dustless Taoist, and when he came to his side, he knelt heavily on the ground and said, "Master!" As soon as the word master came out, Zhang Peng couldn't help but tremble all over, accompanied by the trembling body, and the small choked cry.

Seeing this scene, the Wuchen Daoist couldn't help frowning, stood up and helped Zhang Peng up. Because at the moment when Zhang Peng cried, the dustless Taoist clearly felt Zhang Peng's change, that was a murderous aura! When the dustless Taoist touched Zhang Peng's back shoulder, his face changed suddenly, and he quickly turned Zhang Peng around and tore open Zhang Peng's shirt, only to see that the wound on Zhang Peng's back shoulder at this time had become jet black, and the flesh and blood around the entire wound had also become hard.

"What's going on!" the Dustless Daoist asked anxiously, his eyes filled with unprecedented anger.

"Master, I'm fine. Zhang Peng hurriedly stood up, wrapped his jacket, and then took out the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his waist, handed it to the dustless Taoist, and said, "Master, this is what you want." ”

When he saw the jade pendant in Zhang Peng's hand, the Dustless Daoist was stunned, originally thinking that Zhang Peng had given up the task and returned to the valley. He didn't expect that in just a few days, Zhang Peng would come back to fight after completing the task he had assigned. Taking the jade pendant, the dustless Taoist stared at Zhang Peng quietly, and then exhaled heavily, showed a smile, and praised: The jade is made into a vessel!

Hearing the praise of the dustless Taoist, Zhang Peng suddenly laughed, and then couldn't hold back the fatigue caused by his body anymore and fainted. When the eyes of the dustless Taoist were quick, and he hurriedly helped Zhang Peng, who had fainted, and when his eyes looked at the wound on Zhang Peng's back shoulder again, a strong murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and then he muttered: "Old woman, I promised you that you would never take half a step out of the valley of no return in this life, so when I knew that Chen'er was in trouble, I never went out of the valley to help, so he died." Now the old man of Chen'er, how can I let him have a little difference, no, old man, I can't....."

Zhang Peng's coma was three days, and during these three days, the dustless Taoist people were always guarding Zhang Peng's side and changing herbs for him. In the early morning of the third day, Zhang Peng slowly regained consciousness, his eyes slowly opened, and the first thing he saw was the smiling face of his master.

"Little one, you're finally awake. The Dustless Daoist said with a smile.

"Master. Zhang Peng called out to the dustless Taoist softly, and his mouth was dry, and he even struggled to speak.

"Hehe, just wake up. The wound master has already cleaned it for you, so you don't have to do strenuous exercise these days. It will be cured in a few days. The dustless Taoist said.

Zhang Peng nodded obediently.

"Let's go, help you out for the teacher, soak up some fresh air, it's good for your injuries. After speaking, the dustless Taoist helped Zhang Peng, who was lying on the bed, to the stone chair outside and sat down. Then he said slowly: "Your injuries seem to have been caused by the Shadowless Flying Knife. ”

Zhang Peng nodded, and did not hide it.

"If you can escape, you can be considered to have some skills. Tell me what happened when you came out of the valley. The Dustless Daoist said with a smile.

Zhang Peng raised his head, and the gloomy color in his eyes was put away. Then he slowly began to tell about what happened during this time, starting from the Valley of No Return, the things he encountered on the road, and how he got to know Zhang Jie, how he got to know Liu Mansion, how he stole the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, and how he fled, etc., without any concealment. Dustless people also listen to it with relish. From time to time, he made an expression and replied to Zhang Peng. It wasn't until Zhang Peng talked about the escape that he let out a faint sigh.

"Master, you say... Will Zhang Jie be in trouble?" Zhang Peng suddenly asked.

"Peng'er, since you choose to step into the road of rivers and lakes, then you must understand the truth of cutting grass and eradicating roots. You also have to pay attention to all this, as for whether your brother will be fine, the teacher doesn't know, but what the teacher knows is that the people of this Liu Mansion will never let him go easily. The Dustless Daoist shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Peng's expression became gloomy. His only friend, his only brother, may really affect him.

Seeing Zhang Peng's sad expression, Wuchen Daoist changed his words and said, "Peng'er, do you know that you are much stronger than your father." ”

Hearing the dustless Taoist talk about his father, Zhang Peng hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Master, is it true?

"Hehe, when the teacher taught your father's martial arts, he also gave him one thing just like for you. But it took your father two months to complete it, and when he returned, he was also seriously injured and barely survived. The dustless Taoist said slowly.

Zhang Peng couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the dustless Taoist.

"And your martial arts talent, you can shrink the ground into inches in a short period of time to the realm of fighting, even your father can't do it. You say, is your father as good as you?" said the Dustless Daoist with a smile.

Hearing the praise of the dustless Taoist, Zhang Peng scratched his head embarrassedly.

The dustless Taoist continued: "This time I asked you to go out to do this task, just to let you understand the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, let you really understand what the rivers and lakes are, and let you know that in the rivers and lakes, as long as you have strong enough strength, then you have the right to speak, ants, are not worthy of a foothold on the rivers and lakes." ”

For the words of the Dustless Daoist, Zhang Peng nodded firmly, this trip to Maple Leaf City did make him understand these truths. The Dustless Daoist looked at Zhang Peng, who was deep in thought, and did not interrupt him, but stood up and walked back towards the thatched house.

This trip to Maple Leaf City was a change in his mind for Zhang Peng. He found that on the rivers and lakes, no matter how old you are, walking in the rivers and lakes, others see your strength and background. As long as your fists are hard enough, or you have a background that makes people fearful, then you can do anything, and you don't dare to come out and stop you.

This is the rivers and lakes! A world that respects strength and background!
