Chapter 626: Chu Liuxiang's Secret is Exposed

Yidianhong was so angry that his guard was down. "Since he has read the letter, why doesn't he just say what's in it instead of taking it out?"

Hei Zhenzhu also found it a little amusing, but she kept a straight face and said, "What can you do if I don't want to tell you?"

Yidianhong scoffed, and with a flick of his wrist, the letter, still attached to the sword tip, flew into Chu Liuxiang's hand. "You said that after reading this letter, you would fight me," he added.

Chu Liuxiang was speechless. "Why is everyone I meet so stubborn?"

But despite his words, he quickly tore open the envelope and scanned the letter.

Jin Banhua also leaned closer to Hei Zhenzhu and asked, "What does the letter say?"

Hei Zhenzhu turned to her and asked, "Why are you so interested in this letter?"

Jin Banhua nodded. "I already know quite a bit. Perhaps I'm also on the murderer's list. It would be a loss if I didn't know enough."

Hei Zhenzhu couldn't help but find her words amusing, but the mention of the letter reminded her of her father's death, and her voice turned low and somber.

"'After many years apart, I think of you more fondly than ever, but I have become haggard. I am now in a difficult situation and hope that you will come to my aid, for if you do not, I will have no choice but to die.' The signature below is a single character: 'Su.'"

"So it is indeed Qiu Lingsu?" Jin Banhua nodded. "But how can you be sure who the murderer is?"

Hei Zhenzhu's eyes narrowed. "Are you suggesting that the murderer isn't Qiu Lingsu?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head. "Probably not. Qiu Lingsu sought help from your father and the three others. The murderer killed them, so he must also be Qiu Lingsu's enemy. That's why I'm looking for this Qiu Lingsu now."

A strange expression crossed Hei Zhenzhu's face. "You're looking for Qiu Lingsu?"

"Yes," Chu Liuxiang affirmed, frowning. "I have many informants in the martial arts world, but I've never heard of anyone named Qiu Lingsu..."

"Because she..."

"Beep! Beep!"

"Hsss..."

A melody of bamboo flutes sounded from outside, followed by a gust of putrid wind and an eerie hissing. Two to three dozen large and small, colorful snakes suddenly slithered into the room from the doorway.

"That brat is inside!"

"How dare he injure Elder Song! Let's flay him alive and make him suffer!"

Hei Zhenzhu's face turned deathly pale at the sight of the snakes. She couldn't help but back away.

"Could it be..."

Before Chu Liuxiang could finish his sentence, Hei Zhenzhu had already leaped behind the curtains, hiding herself behind the thick purple fabric.

Yidianhong sneered, "Such a fiery temper, yet you're afraid of snakes?"

After mocking Hei Zhenzhu, Yidianhong pointed his sword and instantly killed several snakes that were crawling closer.

The snakes, though pierced, still twitched reflexively, their blood dripping onto the floor while their bodies contorted. The other snakes, attracted by the scent of blood, pounced and devoured their injured companions.

Yidianhong commented with disgust, "These snakes are uncanny. Where did they come from?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed. "Indeed, everyone has a stubborn streak. One invites trouble, and the other wants to stir up more."

Just then, three figures walked in through the main door.

The leader was tall and burly, his clean clothes patched with rags. His eyes blazed with arrogance, his face twisted in a sinister grin, exuding an air of invincibility.

The two followers, though also fierce-looking, paled in comparison to their leader. However, they carried seven or eight burlap sacks on their backs, indicating their senior status within the Beggar Sect.

Chu Liuxiang sighed softly, "The trouble has indeed arrived."

The leading evil beggar said angrily, "You dared to kill our Ling Snake. Do you want to die?"

Chu Liuxiang interjected, "Your '帮'? May I ask which gang you are referring to?"

The evil beggar raged, "You... Are you blind? Can't you even recognize the disciples of the Beggar's Sect?"

Chu Liuxiang replied calmly, "I can indeed recognize the disciples of the Beggar's Sect. However, you were expelled from the sect over a decade ago. How dare you still claim to be one of them today?"

Chu Liuxiang revealed the name of the leading evil beggar. He was Bai Yumo, who had been expelled from the Beggar's Sect by the former leader, Ren Ci, for his extreme evil deeds many years ago.

Bai Yumo was not ashamed but proud. He said that Ren Ci was already dead and that the new leader had asked him for help, so he had returned.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Although Nan Gongling is usually magnanimous, this decision lacks consideration."

Another Beggar's Sect disciple scolded, "Who dares to criticize the decisions of our leader?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly, "Others may not dare to, but perhaps I do."

As Chu Liuxiang disliked Bai Yumo, he did not introduce himself, and the two sides became more and more hostile, quickly leading to a fight.

Suddenly, the sound of a bamboo flute came from Bai Yumo's mouth, and the remaining two dozen snakes flew towards Chu Liuxiang.

Yidianhong wanted to help, but Chu Liuxiang's movements were unbelievably fast. Each time he struck, he pinched the snakes' vital spots, channeled his internal energy, and threw the dead snakes to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all two dozen venomous snakes were dead, and the few Beggar's Sect disciples didn't even see how Liuxiang had killed them.

Chu Liuxiang murmured, "Autumn is here, and it's time for tonics. It's a pity that my sweetheart isn't here; otherwise, I would have asked her to cook me a fresh and thick triple-snake soup."

Bai Yumo stood still for a moment, his eyes almost popping out of his head, then he clenched his fists, and his whole body started to make a dense crackling sound as he stepped towards Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang teased, "Strange, it sounds like someone is shaking dice in your stomach, but judging from your gloomy face, the roll must be a one, two, and three."

Yidianhong reminded him, "Be careful! His palms are poisonous."

Chu Liuxiang laughed, "Don't worry, it won't kill me."

Bai Yumo snarled, "Who says it won't kill you?"

But just as Bai Yumo was about to make his move, a loud shout came from outside the door, "Stop!"

The next moment, a figure suddenly flashed into the room. Everyone looked intently and saw that the man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He was tall and stood upright, wearing a blue robe with a few patches on it.

The man was not very old, but he had a steady demeanor, and his eyebrows carried an innate dignity, indicating that he was also a person of high status.

Upon seeing this person, Bai Yumo and the other two beggars immediately restrained their auras and quietly stepped back, standing with their hands hanging down straight.

Even without him revealing his identity, everyone knew that the man before them was the new leader of the Beggar's Sect, Nan Gongling.

Yes, he was also the younger brother of Wuhua, the son of Dongying Tianfeng Shier Lang and Da Shamo Shiguanyin, and one of the masterminds behind this incident.

After Nan Gongling appeared, he bantered with Chu Liuxiang, criticized Bai Yumo for being impolite, and indirectly hinted that Hei Zhenzhu was a dangerous and vicious criminal, making it difficult for Chu Liuxiang to continue shielding her.

Finally, he added, "With 'Yidianhong of the Central Plains' and 'Chu Liuxiang, the Thief Master' here, whoever comes here should be respectful and polite. What gives you the right to be so rude?"

"Wait!" Jin Banhua suddenly interrupted Nan Gongling and pointed at Chu Liuxiang, asking, "Isn't he the medicinal herb merchant Zhang Xiaolin from Changbai Mountain?"
