77: Wang Hengtian was arrested

It's impossible for Xiaoyao Sect, Xuanjian Sect's rival sect, to establish a branch in Luo Ya Town.

Liu Xuanfeng's only purpose for coming here was to take revenge on Xu Xi.

Perhaps, taking advantage of the brief moment Xu Xin was strolling at the foot of the mountain, he could strike the enemy in one blow and then flee.

Liu Xuanfeng could also leave Xuanjian Sect safely, even if he paid some price.

After all, with the Sect Master gone, no one in the current Xuanjian Sect could steadily take down Liu Xuanfeng.

"Hmm?"

"That person is moving so hastily, could he be a Xuanjian Sect disciple?"

"Moving so urgently late at night, and alone at that, he must have something to hide."

"If I capture him, I might learn news of Xu Xi."

Suddenly, while lamenting his inability to find Xu Xi's whereabouts, Liu Xuanfeng discovered a figure moving with a heavy load in the vast night.

That was Wang Hengtian, all alone. One could only say that sometimes, when luck comes, you can't stop it!

Soaring through the air, Liu Xuanfeng didn't care if anyone discovered him, because no one *could* discover him; he was that confident.

His stealthy speed was also very fast; at least, before being caught, Wang Hengtian didn't detect anything, only feeling his waist suddenly being grabbed.

Subsequently, Wang Hengtian fell into a coma, his consciousness unclear, completely unaware of what had happened.

"He's really easy to catch. A fourth-realm Entering Profundity cultivation, not bad strength. Perhaps he's a Personal Disciple of Xuanjian Sect. This is interesting; this guy definitely knows something."

Silently taking down Wang Hengtian and perceiving his cultivation, Liu Xuanfeng smiled genuinely, not expecting such a turn of events.

Then his figure vanished into the vast night. When he reappeared, Liu Xuanfeng had already taken Wang Hengtian far from Luo Ya Town, arriving at a quiet forest.

And here, Liu Xuanfeng had already set up a formation early on, making it absolutely impossible to detect for anyone below the Entering Profundity.

"Where... where am I?"

After losing consciousness, under Liu Xuanfeng's repeated slaps, Wang Hengtian suddenly woke up.

And the first thing he did upon waking was blurt out a major philosophical question about life.

Of course, after speaking, what followed was a burning pain.

His bright red cheeks and generally swollen areas all proved that Liu Xuanfeng truly put effort into his blows, holding nothing back.

This was without using spiritual energy; otherwise, with spiritual energy infused, Wang Hengtian might have already lost his cerebellum.

"It... it hurts so much!"

"Who exactly are you? What do you intend by capturing me?"

"Do you know my identity? I am Wang Hengtian, a Personal Disciple of Xuanjian Sect. If you're smart, release me."

"If the Law Enforcement Elder of my sect sees this, he will surely make you wish for death but be unable to die!"

The intense pain instantly cleared Wang Hengtian's muddled mind. He wanted to reach out and touch the stinging area but found himself bound and unable to move, only able to speak, so he immediately questioned.

Leaning in and staring at Liu Xuanfeng opposite him, Wang Hengtian essentially revealed his identity, saving Liu Xuanfeng the effort of severe torture.

"A Personal Disciple of Xuanjian Sect?"

"Heh heh, an old man is looking for a Personal Disciple!"

"Don't think about flaunting your status in front of this old man. In terms of status, I could be your grandfather!"

"Now, I will ask the questions, and you will answer. If there is a single incorrect word, you can die."

Liu Xuanfeng naturally disregarded Wang Hengtian's threat. He then slapped Wang Hengtian, deepening the color of his already red face and enlarging the protruding swollen area.

His straightforward personality was also very consistent with Liu Xuanfeng's style. Having lingered in the Entering Profundity for a long time and roamed Kyushu for many years, Liu Xuanfeng, apart from a certain reverence for the few eighth-realm masters in Youzhou, had never held anyone in high regard.

This minion, Wang Hengtian, still dared to threaten him. If he didn't still have some use, he would probably have been pulverized 800 times over.

"Speak, where did Xu Xin go!"

"Don't doubt it, it's that Personal Disciple of your Xuanjian Sect, Xu Xi!"

He immediately asked the question he wanted to ask. As he uttered the words 'Xu Xi,' Liu Xuanfeng could clearly feel the surprise in Wang Hengtian's eyes.

He reiterated that the Xu Xi he spoke of was indeed the Personal Disciple of Xuanjian Sect, but these words made Wang Hengtian even more confused.

"No, you're looking for Xu Xi, why ask me?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just go and capture Xu Xi? That guy Xu Xi is just at Thin Horse Gate... right..."

"Eh?"

"Wait, Thin Horse Gate?"

"Oh right, this old man doesn't know the news that Xu Xi went to Thin Horse Gate. Could he also be Xu Xi's enemy?"

After a brief thought, Wang Hengtian suddenly felt that the old man in front of him might be an ally he could cooperate with.

The frustration in his heart instantly vanished without a trace. His anger towards Xu Xi surpassed everything else, and Wang Hengtian believed that dignity and such could be temporarily abandoned.

Anyway, that stuff couldn't be eaten as food.

He then asked,

"Senior, do you have some business with Xu Xi?"

"I do know where Xu Xi is."

"But... from Senior's tone, this junior, though untalented, can deduce that Xu Xi seems to have offended you somewhere?"

"May I be so bold as to ask?"

"Because... I also harbor resentment towards Xu Xi. Perhaps we can be allies?"

Staring intently at the old man in front of him, Wang Hengtian's eyes gleamed, wanting to see through Liu Xuanfeng.

However, being in the forest, under the reflection of the cunning moonlight, the dense trees just happened to obscure Liu Xuanfeng's face, making it impossible for Wang Hengtian to see through the old man's appearance.

It was just that, observing his actions and speaking tone, Wang Hengtian could deduce that the person in front of him was relatively old.

"Ally?"

"Are you worthy?"

"Nonsense!"

"Since you know where Xu Xi is, tell this old man truthfully. Otherwise, this old man has plenty of ways to make you willingly speak!"

"Hmph~"

With a cold snort, regarding Wang Hengtian's various demands and extravagant hopes—yes, in Liu Xuanfeng's eyes, it was an extravagant hope.

But Liu Xuanfeng didn't care. He merely took a step forward, mercilessly dragging Wang Hengtian to the bottom.

His entire aura surged, and within the formation, Wang Hengtian only felt a dizzying sensation before collapsing to the ground, further aggravating his physical injuries.

However, what was originally only facial injury now became full-body injury.
