He was not dead yet, because Yun Fan had intentionally spared his life.
"Little brother, you lost!"
Ye Ji teased, "Losing means accepting punishment, you know!"
"Sister, look at me, my conditions don't support it!"
Yun Fan said with distress. Although he was a little addicted, he had to live a life of abstinence for now.
The kind where he couldn't even think about it.
As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Ji lost interest. It was all that damned Western woman's fault for depriving her of her sexual bliss.
Next time, she would definitely teach that woman a lesson.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Gu Qianfeng roared, although he had done many bad things, being defeated and not killed by the opponent was the greatest insult to him.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "No hurry, I have many questions for you!"
"Daydreaming, I won't tell you anything!"
Gu Qianfeng snorted coldly.
"That's not up to you!"
With that, Yun Fan picked him up and said, "First question, what happened in the hidden sects that made you so reckless to come to the secular world?"
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Qianfeng laughed wildly, "Soon it will be the day your Guigu sect is destroyed. While you still have time, I advise you to enjoy your last moments of life!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan's eyes turned cold.
"Bang!"
The next moment, he punched Gu Qianfeng in the stomach.
Gu Qianfeng's face contorted in agony.
"I asked you to answer obediently, not to evade the important points."
"Then kill me! I won't tell you anything."
Gu Qianfeng said stubbornly.
At this moment, Yun Fan calmly put him down.
"Someone!"
"Boss, what do you need?"
Hearing the order, Tian Ying immediately arrived.
Yun Fan said, "Take him down and give him a good thrashing. Once he's completely subdued, I'll question him!"
"Yes!"
Tian Ying grabbed the lifeless Gu Qianfeng and walked away.
Before leaving, Gu Qianfeng still shouted, "Yun Fan, you underestimate me too much. Even if you torture me to death, I won't tell you anything."
After all, he was known as the most iron-blooded man in the hidden sects, and he would not surrender even if he were flayed alive.
However, Yun Fan clearly ignored him.
Afterward, Yun Fan and Ye Ji went to his office for tea.
Ye Ji said, "Little brother, I've also gathered some information about the hidden sects. After Left Alliance Leader came out of seclusion, he became increasingly reckless, seemingly aiming to completely control the hidden sects."
"Sister, didn't he have complete control before?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion. Since he was the Alliance Leader, he should have been able to command all the hidden sects with a single order.
"You think too much!"
Ye Ji said, "Left Alliance Leader was in seclusion for twenty years. During this time, the hidden sects had already split into several factions. But just a month after he came out of seclusion, he dismantled all these factions!"
"However, one faction was the most troublesome!"
"My third senior sister?"
Yun Fan had already guessed.
"That's right, your third senior sister is the most troublesome. Not long ago, Left Alliance Leader personally took action to try and dismantle your third senior sister's faction, but he failed. He even signed an agreement with your third senior sister not to interfere in secular matters. But now he's directly sending experts at the sect leader level to deal with you in the secular world. So, in my opinion, there's only one possibility: not only has his injury recovered, but he might have also broken through!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan thought Ye Ji's analysis was very reasonable.
Left Alliance Leader was already very strong, and if he broke through again, his third senior sister might be in danger.
It seemed he had to go to the hidden sects to help his third senior sister overcome the difficulties. If possible, he wanted to completely resolve the hidden sects as a threat.
But the hidden sects had many masters and a complex power structure, so it wasn't something that could be resolved just by saying so.
Just then, Tian Ying arrived.
"Boss, I only tortured him for less than five minutes, and he surrendered, saying he was willing to cooperate with your questions."
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of tea. Wasn't he supposed to be an immortal tough guy? Judging by Tian Ying's eager look, it was clear that he hadn't even unleashed his true torture methods before Gu Qianfeng caved.
In Ye Ji's opinion, this was not surprising, as she had long guessed that Gu Qianfeng would back down, given that all the hidden sect members were birds of a feather.
However, she was surprised by how quickly Gu Qianfeng had surrendered.
Afterward, Yun Fan said to Ye Ji, "Sister, please excuse me for a moment!"
"It's okay, I also need to return to Jinling. After I settle things in Jinling, I'll come to help you!"
Ye Ji had no intention of staying here.
After all, she could tell that Yun Fan was about to make a move against the hidden sects, but Yun Fan's individual strength was limited. Therefore, she planned to go back and prepare to help Yun Fan.
"Mhm mhm!"
Yun Fan wanted to thank her, as Ye Ji was a master beyond the sect leader level. But if he really said it, Ye Ji would definitely scold him. After all, they were not outsiders anymore, but family.
Not long after, Yun Fan arrived at the dungeon.
At this moment, Gu Qianfeng was trembling and pleading, "Please, spare me, I'll tell you everything I know!"
The so-called iron-blooded tough guy had completely caved in.
When he saw Yun Fan arrive, he seemed to have grasped a lifeline.
"Yun Fan, ask me! I'll answer anything you ask, just spare my life."
"Then it depends on your performance!"
Yun Fan said, "I ask you, what is the current situation of the hidden sects?"
Gu Qianfeng replied, "Now, almost all the hidden sects are controlled by Left Alliance Leader, who is about to launch a final attack on Zhao Feiyue!"
"And we are to cooperate with him, acting from the inside and out. After dealing with you, we will surround Zhao Feiyue! I just didn't expect to be caught in the secular world."
Hearing this, Yun Fan's heart sank. He hadn't expected the situation to be so dire.
"Isn't he afraid of my master making a move?"
Yun Fan asked coldly. Even the name of Celestial Master couldn't intimidate this guy. However, after his master went wandering, he couldn't contact him. But in his opinion, it was normal.
After all, his master had done this before, sometimes disappearing for two or three years.
"He is afraid!"
Gu Qianfeng said, "But I heard Left Alliance Leader say that Celestial Master had an accident and absolutely cannot interfere in this matter anymore!"
"What accident?"
Yun Fan suddenly became worried. How could a powerful master like his teacher encounter an accident? This was completely beyond his expectations.
Gu Qianfeng said, "I don't know the specific details, I just heard Left Alliance Leader mention that Celestial Master might be trapped somewhere and unable to get out for a while!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no threat to his life, there was still a chance for remedy.
However, he had a faint feeling that he had been tricked by his master! He really couldn't believe what could trap his master.
But he couldn't worry about that now.
At this moment, he continued to ask, "What happened when you went to intercept my father, Long Aotian, back then?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Qianfeng was startled. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to know such a secret matter.
Seeing his hesitation, Yun Fan directly said, "Torture him!"
"Hold on!" Su Dan Novel Network
Gu Qianfeng quickly replied, "This is a long story. Back then, when Shui Qianchou, the top expert of the Shui family, and I went to intercept Long Aotian, something unexpected happened!"
"What accident?"
Gu Qianfeng said, "Originally, he was just a man of the secular world. In our eyes, killing him was an easy task. But after the battle, we realized that we had underestimated him!"
"What do you mean?"
Facing Yun Fan's questioning, Gu Qianfeng replied, "His strength was immense. Even the combined efforts of Shui Qianchou and I were no match for him!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was surprised. He hadn't expected to have such a formidable father. It seemed that his father's name wasn't the only impressive thing, but his strength was too.
Twenty years ago, although Gu Qianfeng and Shui Qianchou didn't have their current strength, they were still terrifyingly powerful.
He hadn't expected that the two of them combined couldn't defeat his father.
At this moment, Gu Qianfeng explained, "That was a battle that became my nightmare. From his fighting style and strength, it was clear that his power was definitely second only to Left Alliance Leader!"
"What happened next?"
After recovering from his shock, Yun Fan wanted to know the subsequent events.
Gu Qianfeng said, "Just when we thought we were doomed, an accident happened. A figure appeared and defeated Long Aotian. Then, Long Aotian, wounded, fled with the unconscious Shui Qianqian. That figure also pursued them!"
Suddenly, Yun Fan showed a confused expression.
"Was that person Left Alliance Leader?"
"No!"
Gu Qianfeng shook his head and said, "Although Left Alliance Leader's strength is greater than Long Aotian's, he couldn't have defeated Long Aotian. Therefore, this person is definitely not Left Alliance Leader!"
At this moment, Yun Fan was even more perplexed. Could it be that there was someone even stronger than Left Alliance Leader in the hidden sects?
At this moment, Gu Qianfeng revealed another bombshell.
"At that time, when I was severely wounded and groggy, I heard Long Aotian say, 'Even the Jiang family can't sit still anymore?'"
Yun Fan was greatly shaken. If it was indeed the Jiang family, then it was terrifying. He had heard from his master since childhood that some families had thousands of years of inheritance, tracing back to the origins of China's development, although ordinary people didn't know about them.
If it were those families, their foundation and strength would not only crush the hidden sects, but they might even be comparable to Guigu.
At this moment, Gu Qianfeng asked Yun Fan, "I've told you everything I should. Can you let me go now?"
At this moment, he showed an expectant look. Although his strength was crippled, he still wanted to live.
"Make it clean!"
He ordered Tian Ying.
"Yes!"
Afterward, Yun Fan left, and Tian Ying walked towards Gu Qianfeng with a mocking smile.
"No, please spare my life!"
However, Yun Fan completely ignored Gu Qianfeng's pleas.
After leaving the dungeon, Yun Fan was ready to head to the hidden sects.
At this moment, he called Leng Ning Shuang over.
"You're leaving!"
Leng Ning Shuang seemed to have known for a long time that Yun Fan was going to the hidden sects.
"Yes! Seventh Senior Sister, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with matters in Jiangnan!"
At this moment, Leng Ning Shuang said, "Junior Brother, go with peace of mind! We'll be here. This time, if possible, you should restore Third Senior Sister's identity."
Although she had always been resistant to Yun Fan restoring the identities of other female disciples of Guigu, after all, these people had all been expelled by their master.
They were not good people, like Zhao Fanghua and Yang Xuejian.
But she had heard about the things Zhao Feiyue had done for Yun Fan, so this time she was not resistant. After all, Zhao Feiyue had done too much for Yun Fan and Guigu.
"Okay!"
Yun Fan was secretly pleased. Fortunately, Seventh Senior Sister agreed, saving him a lot of trouble.
As for the others, he didn't bother to mention it. The situation was critical, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
Little did he know that not long after he left, Yang Xuejian was being targeted.
"Who are you? Why are you staring at me?"
On a quiet street, Yang Xuejian asked the old man behind her.
She had noticed that the other party had been following her for several days. Although she was a big star, being followed by fans and paparazzi was normal.
However, she sensed that the other party's strength was unfathomable, so she was sure that the other party was a master. If they wanted to kill her, they would have done so long ago.
Therefore, she couldn't figure out what their purpose was.
The old man said respectfully, "This old servant is ordered by the family to invite the young lady back!"
Hearing this, Yang Xuejian felt that this was too absurd! She was an orphan with no parents.
She was adopted by her master in Jinling. Before that, apart from her master, she had no relatives. Later, she met Zhao Jie, who shared her plight, and then met Yun Fan. Therefore, in her eyes, her only family was the Guigu sect.
At this moment, the old man smiled and said, "It's normal for the young lady to be suspicious, but I will explain it to you slowly!"
"As for now, please come back with me, young lady!"
However, Yang Xuejian directly refused, "Get lost! Don't bother me. If you bother me again, I won't be polite to you!"
The old man smiled bitterly, "If the young lady doesn't want to go back, that's fine. I will always stay by your side to protect you until you agree to go back with me!"
"Hmph!"
Yang Xuejian snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"If the young lady wants to kill me, just do it. I would never dare to resist!"
The old man said shamelessly.
Yang Xuejian didn't expect someone to pester her like this. What's more, the other party was a very old man. If she really made a move, and he fell to the ground, she wouldn't know what to say.
At this moment, the old man said to Yang Xuejian, "The young lady has noble blood flowing in her veins and should not linger in this corrupt secular world. Returning is the best choice for the young lady."
However, Yang Xuejian didn't listen to his persuasion and simply walked away. The old man was also helpless.
Although with his strength, he could easily take Yang Xuejian away, he wouldn't dare to do so even if he had a hundred courage. After all, the family head had specifically instructed him not to force Yang Xuejian to return this time.
Instead, he was to persuade her with good words, and when Yang Xuejian was willing to return, he would escort her back. But for now, this task was extremely difficult.
He didn't disturb Yang Xuejian's private life, but chose to protect her from the shadows.
...
At this time, Yun Fan had arrived at the hidden sects according to the map given by Zhao Lingyue.
Although it was called a hidden sect and sounded lofty, in Yun Fan's opinion, it was no different from the secular world.
It was just that Celestial Master had designated a hundred-mile radius around this area as the place for the hidden sects to settle.
Compared to the secular world, the lifestyle of the hidden sects was just a bit more primitive.
At this moment, he arrived at the river. This river, tens of meters wide, was turbulent. As soon as he crossed this river, the opposite bank would be the territory of the hidden sects.
However, he had recently lost contact with Zhao Lingyue, so he didn't know if the opposite bank was his third senior sister's territory or Left Alliance Leader's territory.
But it didn't matter. The hidden sects were not large, and he believed he would find his third senior sister soon.
As soon as he crossed the river, Yun Fan saw a peach blossom forest. It was early spring, so the peach blossoms were blooming brilliantly.
Coupled with the surrounding scenery, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a paradise.
Just then, Yun Fan entered the peach blossom forest, preparing to go deeper into the hidden sects.
The deeper he went, towards the center of the peach blossom forest, he saw a clear pool with countless flower petals floating on it.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of people playing in the water. On the bank, there was a set of clean clothes placed on a rock, looking very exquisite.
"Is this what I get as a bonus as soon as I set foot in the hidden sects' territory?"
As a gentleman, Yun Fan had no wicked thoughts; he just wanted to take a casual glance.
