Chapter 779: Chapter 327: Proposal_2
“In fact, this can become a good card for me to counterattack Eternal Night Valley.
“Only, after observing this person’s actions, they seem to not only want to use Wan Cangxin to restrain Wusheng Hall, but also are more intent on targeting the Luofeng Alliance.
“There is something… you might be interested in.”
At this point, he glanced at Su Mo, originally perhaps wanting to propose some conditions, but when he met Su Mo’s eyes, he immediately dispelled all his foolish fantasies and said:
“Actually, Ren Xiongfei has colluded with the people of the Luofeng Alliance.
“The eldest son of the former Alliance Leader of Luofeng Alliance, Wei Ruhan, Wei Qifeng, had a fight on the banks of Heng River.
“In the end, he was killed in the Heng River… This incident was actually done by Ren Xiongfei’s hand.”
“What?”
Both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were startled.
This was indeed an unexpected gain.
“How do you know about this?”
Yang Xiaoyun immediately asked.
“I actually don’t know about this… it’s Wan Yutang.”
Jun Luo said, “When Ren Xiongfei joined Wusheng Hall, he started from humble beginnings, but he was talented and had the makings of a good martial artist.
“He joined Wusheng Hall earlier than I did, yet it was not until Wan Yutang was about to take over the leadership that he began to be heavily relied upon.
“And at that time, it was when Wusheng Hall was most unstable, with the Twelfth Halls inside and power severely fragmented.
“Even as the son of the Old Hall Master, he might not necessarily have won everyone’s support, so he was worried about lacking capable people.
“That’s why he promoted Ren Xiongfei.
“However, Wan Yutang wasn’t as stupid as one might think; in fact, he was always vigilant.
“He didn’t trust Ren Xiongfei, whom he had promoted.
“Always feeling that this man had ulterior motives.
“After several attempts to test and investigate, it was discovered that he had colluded with Zeng Youwang, the seventh hierarch of the Luofeng Alliance.
“So Wan Yutang suspected that Ren Xiongfei might be plotting against his Wusheng Hall by collaborating with the Luofeng Alliance.
“However, at that time he had not yet obtained solid evidence, and given that Wan Yutang’s position was not yet stable.
“In such circumstances, he naturally couldn’t afford to act rashly.
“After all, he had just promoted someone, who turned out to be a spy; how would others look at Wan Yutang if this got out?
“He simply pretended not to know but remained fully guarded against Ren Xiongfei.
“Subsequently, every time Ren Xiongfei went out, someone would secretly follow him.
“During one such instance, Ren Xiongfei went to the banks of Heng River in disguise to meet with someone.
“The person shadowing him originally planned to split forces, one to investigate the person meeting him and the other to continue following Ren Xiongfei.
“Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Ren Xiongfei did not return to Wusheng Hall but instead followed the person he had met.
“This actually saved the shadowers a lot of effort.
“Then they saw that person kill Wei Qifeng on the banks of Heng River.
“After the deed was done, the person left the area, and only when there was no one around did Ren Xiongfei appear… and took the opportunity to kill him unaware, consequently destroying the body and erasing tracks.
“After completing this, Ren Xiongfei returned to Wusheng Hall as if nothing had happened.”
After saying all this in one breath, Jun Luo then smiled:
“Everyone says that Wei Qifeng died at the hands of another Luofeng Alliance hierarch, but little do they know… the waters run deep here.
“This incident also confirmed to Wan Yutang that Ren Xiongfei came from elsewhere.
“And the death of Wei Qifeng naturally enraged Wei Ruhan greatly.
“He led people from the Luofeng Alliance to the banks of Heng River every day to search for the body.
“Unfortunately, they never found it.
“The body of Wei Qifeng became a mystery.
“After knowing about this, Wan Yutang wanted to write to Wei Ruhan.
“But I intercepted the letter…
“The reason at the time was that Ren Xiongfei was, after all, from Wusheng Hall.
“And Wei Ruhan had just lost his son; under such circumstances, it would be hard for him to believe if the matter about Ren Xiongfei was told immediately.
“The pain of losing a son is not to be taken lightly.
“Even if we wanted to hand over Ren Xiongfei, it would be better to wait until Wei Ruhan had calmed down.
“Most importantly, if Ren Xiongfei’s relationship with the Luofeng Alliance was not as previously thought, with his origins unknown, acting rashly might alarm others who may be hiding in the shadows.
“Naturally, it would be better to investigate thoroughly and then have a good talk with Wei Ruhan.
“Wan Yutang agreed with my point, so he dropped the matter…
“I wanted to discuss this matter with Wei Ruhan later, but unfortunately, he never got the chance.”
There’s no need to mention why he never got the chance.
After this, Jun Luo seized Wan Yutang’s identity and position.
Having kept an eye on Ren Xiongfei’s actions over the years, that’s why all these years he has remained only a Vice Hall Master.
Later, when people like Su Tianyang helped Li Siyun to investigate the traitors of their clan in Jianghu and deliberately displayed the Jinghong Fenguang hand, it caught Jun Luo’s attention, which led him to purposively let Wusheng Hall descend into chaos.
With the internal strife of Wusheng Hall and the external agitations by Ren Xiongfei, after several bouts of chaos, he went deeper into hiding, thus shaping the current situation.
The only thing he didn’t expect was that Ren Xiongfei, who has always been ‘obedient and self-disciplined’, would cause such a stir over the matter of Wan Cangxin.
That was beyond expectation.
After hearing all this, Su Mo took a deep breath.
When he first met Wei Ziyi at Yuliu Manor, Wei Ziyi mentioned that she hoped Su Mo, when traveling in Jianghu, if he came across any information about Wei Qifeng, must inform her.
