The elder who appeared behind Lin Fei was none other than Elder Yun Zhen of the Cloud Pavilion.

The reason Yun Zhen appeared here was that Lin Fei had Leng Ying call him over.

Lin Fei turned around, looked at Yun Zhen, and asked, "Elder Yun, were you able to gather any information about those monks for me?"

Yun Zhen furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "These three monks, the time has been too short, we haven't found their tracks yet."

"However, from Leng Ying's description, I have already guessed who they are."

Lin Fei looked at Yun Zhen and said, "Elder Yun, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly, who are they? Who is their master?"

Yun Zhen said, "Leng Ying said that Miss Deng and Miss Chen saw that the three monks had tattoos of a viper, a scorpion, and a centipede on their arms."

"If I'm not mistaken, they are the Netherworld Five Venoms of the desert, who strike terror wherever they go."

"The Netherworld Five Venoms?" Lin Fei asked, "Who are they?"

"The Netherworld Five Venoms are five monks who reverted to secular life. They each have tattoos of a viper, a centipede, a scorpion, a gecko, and a spider on their arms, so they are called the Netherworld Five Venoms," Yun Zhen explained slowly. "They belong to a sect called Netherworld, a terrifying power in the desert."

"Netherworld is ten times more terrifying and powerful than Hidden Kill. They can take on assassination tasks against any expert below the level of Martial Saint, and it's not a problem for them to wipe out a major family or a sect."

"Each task by Netherworld costs at least billions, and it's not uncommon for a single deal to net a commission of ten billion. Netherworld is like a frightening scorpion entrenched in the northern desert, whom no one dares provoke."

"The Netherworld Five Venoms are five Martial Venerable experts within Netherworld. As for Netherworld's sect leader, no one knows who he is. That's all the information I have about Netherworld."

"So, they are a malignant force in the desert!" A glint of sharpness flashed in Lin Fei's eyes as he said, "I don't care how large their power is or what their purpose is; I will personally eradicate the Netherworld Five Venoms and Netherworld to avenge Liu Wei and bring peace to her soul."

Yun Zhen, however, was worried as he advised Lin Fei, "But Lin Fei, this Netherworld's power and strength are no ordinary matter. I'm afraid you might not be a match for them, and our Cloud Pavilion's influence in the Capital City can't support you. Why not temporarily avoid Netherworld's edge?"

Lin Fei just laughed, "Elder Yun, you want me to run? Let Liu Wei die in vain like that? Besides, if I leave, do you think Netherworld will refrain from targeting other members of the Chen, Deng, and Liu families?"

Yun Zhen said, "I think that's unlikely. Chen Wuyue is a general in the military. If something happens to him, the National Protector Martial Saint certainly wouldn't just ignore it.

Moreover, if Netherworld's people kill more members of the Deng, Chen, and Liu families, angering Chen Wuyue, and he asks the National Protector Saint to intervene, Netherworld's people would also come out badly bruised."

At this point, Yun Zhen looked at Lin Fei and said, "Now you know why the Netherworld Five Venoms only killed Liu Wei and did not kill Chen Xinyi and Deng Ziyu, right?"

Lin Fei understood. In the end, the three monks killed only Liu Wei and not Chen Xinyi and Deng Ziyu because Netherworld didn't dare to fully enrage Chen Wuyue, fearing it might draw the wrath of the National Protector Martial Saint.

And killing just Liu Wei, a member of the Liu family, served as a warning to the Deng, Chen, and Liu families without risking retaliation from the National Protector Martial Saint.

After all, the Liu family is not the family of a general.

"Elder Yun, even if the Netherworld people pose no further threat to the Deng, Chen, and Liu families, I will not leave the Capital City until I have avenged Liu Wei," Lin Fei said with firm determination.

"Lin Fei, this time the Netherworld Five Venoms came to the Capital City because the news of your battle with various top experts in the Forbidden City that night got out. They are definitely here for the Martial Saint Heart Sutra," Yun Zhen said with a serious expression.

Lin Fei nodded. The news of the battle at the Forbidden City would spread sooner or later, but Lin Fei hadn't expected Netherworld to act so quickly.

Although he didn't have the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, it was now impossible for him to extricate himself from the situation.

But he was not afraid because most of those scheming for the Martial Saint Heart Sutra were the very enemies who had killed his parents back then.

Lin Fei and they would have a life-and-death confrontation sooner or later.

"Elder Yun, let's go back!" Lin Fei's face regained its calm.

Yun Zhen nodded. "Your original villa is no longer safe. I've arranged a safer place for you."

Although Lin Fei wasn't afraid of the Netherworld Five Venoms, he accepted Yun Zhen's care without further comment.

The two left the cemetery, where a black Mercedes was parked at the entrance.

The driver in the car was Leng Ying, who was also there to keep a lookout for Lin Fei and Yun Zhen.

Lin Fei and Yun Zhen got into the car and left the cemetery.

Night fell, at Ding family's villa estate.

At this moment, the top floor living room of the villa was brightly lit, with five fierce-looking bald monks sitting on the leather sofa.

These five bald monks wore their robes draped on their shoulders, exposing their muscular torsos. They had tattoos of a viper, a scorpion, a spider, a gecko, and a centipede on their arms.

These five bald monks were the Netherworld Five Venoms.

Among them were the viper, scorpion, and centipede who had killed Liu Wei at the villa estate at the foot of the Great Wall.

"Come, to the five venerable ones of Netherworld, I, Ding Yongsheng, offer you a toast!" At this time, Master Ding Yongsheng, sitting to the side of the sofa, raised his glass with a flattering smile toward the Netherworld Five Venoms.

He had already learned the news of Duan Xing and Liang Yunlong's father and son being dead. Now he feared Lin Fei like a tiger, worried Lin Fei might seek revenge on him.

Thus, the Netherworld Five Venoms became his lifeline.

He only hoped that the Netherworld Five Venoms could kill Lin Fei, so he could remove this major threat from his heart.

The Netherworld Five Venoms raised their glasses, and within them, the monk with the viper tattoo spoke with a smile to Ding Yongsheng, "Ding Yongsheng, thank you for your hospitality. If the Ding family ever faces danger, you can come to us."

"Thank you, Venerable Ones! Our Ding family is also willing to serve the Netherworld faithfully," Ding Yongsheng quickly said with a face full of flattery.

He knew that Lin Fei was a great threat to the Ding family, so he hurried to cling to Netherworld. With Netherworld's protection, he would no longer fear Lin Fei.

Moreover, he understood that the Ding family would gain more than it would lose by aligning with Netherworld.

The monk with the viper tattoo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm, very good. The leader of Hidden Kill Sect, Duan Xing, is dead. We'll speak with the sect leader to have you replace Duan Xing, becoming our force in the Capital City."

A look of joy appeared on Ding Yongsheng's face. He immediately put down his glass, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the Netherworld Five Venoms, expressing his gratitude with tears in his eyes, "If I can serve Netherworld, Ding would not hesitate to break my bones."

The monk with the viper tattoo said, "Get up! There will be an opportunity for you to serve."

Ding Yongsheng stood up from the ground, nodding and saying, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then, Ding Yongsheng looked at the monk with the viper tattoo and asked, "May I ask, Venerable One, did the Netherworld sect leader come to the Capital City this time?"

The monk with the viper tattoo coldly replied, "Whether the sect leader came or not, that's not for you to ask."

Ding Yongsheng's face immediately showed fear as he said, "I deserve death for speaking out of turn. Please, Venerable One, forgive me!"

The monk with the viper tattoo's expression softened and said, "Hmm, we'll let it slide this time. Alright, enough said. We need to head to a base in the suburbs of the Capital City."

After speaking, the monk with the viper tattoo downed the wine in his hand, and the other four monks also drank the wine in their hands.

Then, the Netherworld Five Venoms walked from the living room to the outside balcony, disappearing into the night like five bats flying away.
