As the sun sets, the lively places in Ba Mansion are lit up with little fire lights.

And some secluded corners are gradually shrouded in thick darkness.

The small courtyard Liu Yao rented was not a lively place. As the sun set, the surrounding area gradually fell into darkness.

A rustling sound came from the darkness, and a warrior said: "What is the sound?"

Another warrior looked at the white cat crossing the wall and said casually: "It's just a cat."

At the same time, two black figures arrived outside the courtyard door at some unknown time. They were Zhang Jitian and Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang put on his bronze mask and said casually: "Don't let anyone go."

Zhang Jitian nodded and watched as Chu Qiguang pushed the door open and then closed it again.

After a while, there was a sound after another in the small courtyard, like a sound like a heavy object falling to the ground. The faint smell of blood floated out from the crack in the door and poured into Zhang Jitian's nose.

Zhang Jitian wrinkled his nose and thought to himself: 'So much blood? Chu Qiguang is a little angry today.'

After a few more breaths, Chu Qiguang opened the courtyard door and walked out: "Liu Yao and two of his men went to participate in Ning Chigong's martial arts competition."

"You, Bai Mi and the others, take Chen Gang back together. Remember to dispose of the body before leaving."

Zhang Jitian hesitated and said: "Disposal of corpses? This...I don't know how..."

Chu Qiguang waved his hand and walked into the darkness: "Ask Bai Mi and the others more."

Zhang Jitian looked at the white cat jumping down from the wall and heard the other person say: "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this."

"By the way, is there a river nearby?"

…

At the same time, Ning Chigong's house was already brightly lit.

The magistrate of Ba Prefecture, Jiao Yu, and several well-known martial arts figures, people from the four major local tribes of Cao, Miao, Bai, and Luo...

It can be said that Ning Chigong invited all the famous people in the Ba family to this martial arts meeting.

"This is Liu Yao, the inspector of the Northern Martial Arts School, a martial arts scholar in the sixth year of Yong'an, Jiang Longyu of the Seven Kills School, that is his younger junior brother."

"I have admired you for a long time."

"Brother Liu, let me introduce to you. This is the father-in-law of my Ba family, Lu Renjia."

"Brother Ning, you really have a wide range of friends. You even know the masters of the Seven Kills School."

They exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged glasses. Ning Chi raised a glass of wine and looked at the house full of distinguished guests, feeling a little proud.

However, after listening to the boy's report, Chu Qiguang hadn't come yet, which made a slight flash of displeasure flash across his face.

He swung the glass and said casually: "Shameless."

At the banquet, as several glasses of wine were consumed, everyone talked about martial arts, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.

A member of the local Miao family, a wealthy family, suddenly said: "Didn't the hundreds of new households from Tumen Fort come to the banquet?"

As he took the lead, everyone seemed to criticize Chu Qiguang.

Although Ning Chigong didn't speak, there was a smile in his eyes.

At this moment, the boy on the side came up and said, "Chu Qiguang wants to see you."

Ning Chigong was slightly surprised: "He's here? Then let him come in."

When Chu Qiguang entered the courtyard where the banquet was being held, countless pairs of eyes swept over him. Some were curious, some were malicious, some were gloating about others' misfortune, and some had matters that were none of their business...

Chu Qiguang didn't care and casually sat down at the last seat assigned to him by Ning Chigong.

But the entire martial arts meeting that followed seemed to have nothing to do with him. No one spoke to him, and no one toasted him.

Chu Qiguang seemed to be completely ignored and isolated, sitting silently in the corner drinking tea alone.

In comparison, Liu Yao, who is also new to Bafu, is more popular.

Liu Yao looked at Chu Qiguang's appearance and became more and more puzzled: 'This person is so much worse than me, why would Hao Xiangtong like him? Is it really just an ordinary friend?'

For Ning Chigong, this was a very successful party.

He effectively showed Chu Qiguang his connections and influence in Ba Mansion, and kept everything within control.

He believed that the other party must have felt tremendous pressure at this time. Faced with the interconnection and involvement of so many local forces, Chu Qiguang's only choice was to compromise with him.

At the same time, a figure wrapped in a black robe slowly walked to the gate of Ning's house.

Beside the river south of Ba Mansion, Zhang Jitian was watching corpses being slowly sunk into the water.

At the gate of the Taoist temple, Qiao Zhi monitored Zhang Fengyun's whereabouts.

In front and back of Ning Mansion, the eyes of more than a dozen cat demons swept around, seeming to be staring at something.

The next moment, along with the door of Ning Mansion... a horrified scream pierced the sky.

During the banquet in the mansion, large swaths of black mud suddenly crossed the night sky and fell towards the scene.

Ning Chigong looked at the black mud falling from the sky with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Gao! Wings!"

Amid the screams, the few guards blocking the front were killed by a few punches from the expressionless Gao Yi.

Several powerful people from the Five Realms stood up at the scene, including Ning Chigong, Liu Yao, the magistrate, Jiaoyu...

Amidst the screams in the atmosphere, heat waves bursting out of Qi and blood swept across the courtyard, and several warriors on the scene had already surrounded Gao Yi.

Chu Qiguang smiled and retreated slowly, his body seemed to gradually melt into the darkness where the lights could not shine.

'There are still too many wealthy families in Ba's house.'

'It's up to you, Gao Yi.'

But the next moment, Chu Qiguang's footsteps paused slightly, and a trace of stiffness flashed across his face.

'Oh shit.'

Familiar spasms and twitches emerged from his body, and intense pain surged into Chu Qiguang's brain.

Cold sweat broke out on Chu Qiguang's forehead: 'What a damn problem.'

'I obviously just want to live a peaceful life and become stronger silently.'
