In the base building, inside a conference room.

Chen Wuyue, Lin Fei, Deng Fangzhen, Liu Yunzhen, and others were seated in the conference room.

Chen Wuyue took a sip of tea, smiled, and said to everyone, "It's wonderful that everyone returned safely this time."

Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen nodded in agreement.

Although the two families, the Deng family and the Liu family, suffered tremendous losses with their experts almost wiped out.

But fortunately, the members of both families were unharmed.

"Lin Fei, this time you single-handedly defeated the Four Oddities of the Capital City, severely injured Duan Xing, and injured numerous Martial Arts Family experts. It truly makes one's heart surge with excitement!" Chen Wuyue praised Lin Fei endlessly.

"Indeed, Lin Fei, you severely injured Duan Xing this time. He won't be able to recover his Primordial Qi for several years, and without Duan Xing taking the lead, neither the Liang family nor the Ding family can threaten the Deng, Chen, and Liu families." Deng Fangzhen expressed his gratitude to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei suddenly recalled that the murderers responsible for his parents' death included the elder of the Liang family, Liang Yunhu, and the elder of the Ding family, Ding Yongsheng.

It seems he should find some time to visit the Liang and Ding families.

"Master Deng, I've crippled Duan Xing's martial arts, broken his meridians, and he won't live for many days. He can't threaten you anymore," Lin Fei said calmly.

"Also, the patriarchs of various Martial Arts Families will not live long, and the martial arts of over two hundred martial artists have been crippled by me as well."

Deng Fangzhen, Chen Wuyue, and Liu Yunzhen wore expressions of surprise; the Four Oddities of the Capital City were dead, Duan Xing, the patriarchs of various Martial Arts Families were dying, and over two hundred martial artists had their martial arts crippled!

Thus, aside from the Liang and Ding families, there were no other martial arts experts in the Capital City that could threaten the Deng, Chen, and Liu families.

Even the remaining influence of the Liang and Ding families would not concern the Deng, Chen, and Liu families.

Chen Wuyue, Deng Fangzhen, and Liu Yunzhen exchanged glances, unable to hide their joy. It's fair to say that Lin Fei, in his battle at the Forbidden City, swept away most of the enemy forces for the Deng, Chen, and Liu families.

The three families suddenly became the largest force in the Capital City.

Chen Wuyue enthusiastically praised, "Well done with the killing and crippling! The Four Oddities of the Capital City, Duan Xing, and the patriarchs of various Martial Arts Families killed innocents and engaged in kidnapping. Lin Fei eliminated these threats for the populace; that's a significant contribution."

"Indeed! Lin Fei is eliminating threats for the populace; he is a great hero of the Capital City!" Deng Fangzhen and Liu Yunzhen agreed with high spirits.

But Lin Fei calmly said to Chen Wuyue, "Elder Chen, all merits should belong to the soldiers of the base; I don't need any recognition."

Chen Wuyue, Deng Fangzhen, and Liu Yunzhen didn't expect Lin Fei to not covet credit and felt admiration for him.

It's known that Lin Fei's deeds in saving the Deng and Liu families could make him a hero in the Capital City. Furthermore, Lin Fei single-handedly defeated the Four Oddities of the Capital City, Duan Xing, and the patriarchs of various Martial Arts Families, beating hundreds of martial experts, which could make him the martial leader in the Capital City and greatly enhance his reputation.

Yet Lin Fei appeared quite indifferent to the fame others crave, displaying restraint and humility that are rare.

Chen Wuyue nodded approvingly, "Okay, I will follow Lin Fei's wishes; the credit for eliminating the wicked Four Oddities of the Capital City, Duan Xing, and the patriarchs of various Martial Arts Families will go to the soldiers of the base, albeit it's unfair to Lin Fei."

Lin Fei replied, "I'm not aggrieved; I didn't lose an ounce of flesh, so I don't feel aggrieved at all."

Everyone laughed.

Just then, Li Guang opened the door to the conference room and entered.

"Commander, there's trouble. Our soldiers were obstructed by a group of men in black while escorting the suspects back to base, and Duan Xing has been rescued," Li Guang said gravely.

"What? Duan Xing has been rescued?" Chen Wuyue furrowed his brow, unable to believe it.

Li Guang said to Chen Wuyue, "According to our officers who witnessed it, the person who rescued Duan Xing was wearing a red cape. I suspect that the person who rescued Duan Xing is Liang Yunhu."

"Li Guang, take the Dragon Thorns elites and head to the Liang family immediately to capture Duan Xing," Chen Wuyue decisively ordered.

"Yes, Commander," Li Guang agreed.

"Wait," Lin Fei said to Chen Wuyue at that moment.

Chen Wuyue looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Lin Fei, what's the matter?"

Lin Fei said, "Elder Chen, leave Duan Xing and Liang Yunhu to me; I can handle them."

Liang Yunhu was the enemy who murdered his parents, so Lin Fei would certainly not spare him.

Chen Wuyue didn't expect Lin Fei to want to deal with Liang Yunhu. While he was confident in Lin Fei's strength, he still said to Lin Fei, "But tonight you've just been through a major battle; you need to rest well. Leave the matter of the Liang family to Li Guang instead!"

"Elder Chen, I must personally deal with Liang Yunhu. Tonight, let Liang Yunhu live one more night; tomorrow night, I will definitely go to the Liang family and bring them back," Lin Fei stated firmly.

Chen Wuyue nodded, "In that case, Li Guang will refrain from going to the Liang family tonight; anyhow, the Liang family is in Capital City, and they can't run too far."

Then, Chen Wuyue instructed Li Guang, "Li Guang, have someone monitor the Liang family secretly to prevent any escape."

"Yes, Commander," Li Guang immediately agreed.

In the villa garden of the Liang family's mansion in the Capital City, inside an underground secret chamber of the villa.

A brightly lit underground chamber, where Duan Xing lay on a bed, extremely weak but awake.

Two elders stood by the bedside; one was the elder of the Liang family, Liang Yunhu.

The other was a white-haired, sharp-eyed, solemn-looking elder, none other than the elder of the Ding family, Ding Yongsheng.

"Old Liang, my martial arts have been crippled by Lin Fei, my meridians shattered. I won't live long. After I die, I hope you will take care of my grandson Yifeng, and I have one request for you," Duan Xing said with dim eyes, looking at Liang Yunhu and Ding Yongsheng.

"Old Duan, tell us, what do you need our help with?" Liang Yunhu and Ding Yongsheng said quickly.

Duan Xing took out a palm-sized golden Token from his pocket and said to the two, "This is my Hidden Kill Sect Leader Token. Deliver it to Wan Jianchen, who is located at Netherworld Peak outside the Great Wall in the desert. Tell him how I died, and he will avenge me!"

"Netherworld Peak in the desert outside the Great Wall; isn't that the location of one of the world's most terrifying forces, Netherworld?" Liang Yunhu said in shock, looking at Duan Xing. "Do you know people from Netherworld?"

"Old Liang, you may not know this, but Hidden Kill is a branch under Netherworld, and Netherworld isn't the largest; even I don't know who controls the force behind Netherworld. Back then, my attempt to obtain the Martial Saint Heart Sutra from Lin Yunxiao was also due to orders from Netherworld," Duan Xing said to Liang Yunhu.

Liang Yunhu and Ding Yongsheng were shocked, and Liang Yunhu said, "So there are so many secrets behind Hidden Kill!"

Duan Xing nodded heavily, "I am just a small pawn behind an invisible major force of Netherworld. My life is worthless, but my son was killed by Lin Fei, and my grandson's martial arts were crippled by him; I can't swallow this indignation. Just tell Wan Jianchen that Lin Fei is Lin Zheng's disciple, who holds the key to the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, and that he killed me. Netherworld will definitely avenge me!"

Ding Yongsheng took the Token from Duan Xing and nodded to him, "Old Duan, I will certainly deliver your words and your belongings to Wan Jianchen as you said."
