Feng Yun comes out from the black pagoda when Li Dongmei and Long Shu finished the battle. Tingguang was captured, his strength was sealed completely. 

"Feng Yun, are you alright?" Li Dongmei exclaimed run to Feng Yun to check his condition. She almost got a heart attack when she saw Tingguang attacking Feng Yun. Seeing Feng Yun was fine she took a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Aunt, I am alright." Feng Yun smiled and assured her.

Li Dongmei nodded. Although she was curious how Feng Yun did it, she was glad nonetheless. She didn't want to pry into his secret.

"What do you want to do with him?" Li Dongmei asked while pointing towards Tingguang.

"What else, it's information." Feng Yun shrugged his shoulder and said. He wanted to know the name of the person or clan who put a bounty on his head. 

Feng Yun thought of soul controlling technique but Tingguang's cultivation two whole higher than his, his soul power not strong enough to control a Heaven Profound Realm expert right now. Forcefully using this technique might cause backlash to his soul, Feng Yun didn't want that especially since the grand competition was around the corner now. 

That's why Feng Yun decided to capture Tingguang for now, latter when his soul would be strong he would use the soul-controlling skill to make his slave. Tingguang's talent was good, his strength was above the average, even mastered the Domain. These types of cultivators were not easy to find. If Feng Yun could make him his subordinate, he could provide great help in the future.

"Haha! Brat, your days are short now, the organization would surely hunt you down to the end of the world. You guys shout start counting, Haha. The organization will raze you and your friend from the world." Tingguang laughed maniacally and said.

Feng Yun didn't pay any heed to the nonsense of Tingguang. "Tell me the name of your client. You have two options, either you can tell me now, it now then I will torture you and your soul before asking again."

"Cough! Cough! If you want information related to the organization, then you fuck off, But I can tell the name of my client. It was Long Clan who hired me to kill you. Haha! They gave quite good money for this task." Tingguang coughed blood because of heavy injuries and said. 

He was not a member of the Long Clan nor loyal to Long Clan in any way. Rather, he was also pissed at the Long Clan because of them he fell into this situation. Although, his greed was a big reason to take this mission. He would be glad if Feng Yun and Long Clan started a war.

"What do you mean?" Li Dongmei's eyebrows frowned as she asked coldly. Why would Long Clan hire a Heaven Profound Realm assassin to kill Feng Yun? But Tingguang didn't speak a word after that.

Feng Yun was puzzled, he never had any content with the Long Imperial Dynasty much less the Long Clan. Then how could he offend the Long Clan? 

"Feng Yun, Di you have enmity with Long Clan?" Li Dongmei looked at Feng Yun and asked.

"No, I have met any person of Long Clan, I haven't heard the name of Long Clan until a few days ago" Feng Yun was speaking the truth, until a week ago, he was not familiar with the Long Clan's name.

"Is Long Clan our enemy?" Feng Yun curiously if Long Clan have enmity with Mu Clan or not.

"No!" Li Dongmei shook her head.

Tingguang didn't care about Feng Yun and Li Dongmei, he simply closed his eyes and refuse to spell a word other than grown of pain.

Feng Yun ponder for moments and decided to return to the Mu Clan first. 

After that Feng Yun remove the formation and Feng Yun's group returned to the Mu Clan. Mu Qing whose heart was filled with concern finally calm down after seeing Feng Yun and women returned safely.

After sending Tingguang to the dark prison of the Mu Clan. Feng Yun gave her a brief report of the entire incident and asked her to interrogate Tingguang later. Although the chances are slim of obtaining information from Tingguang, he wanted to try. 

"You mean, Long Clan hired him to assassinate you." Mu Qing said looked at Feng Yun and said.

"Yeah, that was he said, but I am sure if he's telling the truth." Feng Yun said while shrugging his shoulder.

She pondered for a few moments and said, "Sigh! I think I may know the reason, but I am not sure if am right."

Feng Yun and Li Dongmei both looked at her questioningly.

"Yun'er, If I am wrong, then I think you have any relationship with Liu Mingxia the princess of the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion's Liu Clan." 

"Hm! Yes! She is my girlfriend." Feng Yun was surprised a little and replied. While in his mind he thought. How is this related to Liu Mingxia?

"As you know, Liu Mingxia is top class beauty as well a woman with a smart mind, furthermore, she also has a great good background as she was the precious pearl of the Liu Clan. She has many pursuers in the Long Imperial Dynasty and one of them is the prince of the Long Imperial Dynasty. You can say that the assassin hired by your love rival."

"The Prince is a top young genius of the Long Imperial Dynasty, he has arrogant and ruthless character because of his power and talent. He was obsessed with Liu Mingxia, he proposed his lover to Liu Mingxia many times, but each was ruthlessly rejected by her. If Liu Clan was an ordinary clan, he might have pressured her and the clan to marry him. But Liu Clan is a merchant clan, not only their power was strong, they have many connections throughout the Long Imperial Dynasty, even outside the Long Imperial Dynasty. That's why he could pursue her openly."

"He somehow must have learned the relationship between you and her and become jealous of you. That's why he wanted to remove from his path."

"As for why he used Phantom Assassin instead of using the power of Long Clan. There are two reasons for it, first, you are a core disciple of the Mystic Heaven Peak, plus a direct disciple of the grand elder. Long Clan's strength par with five great sects. He didn't want to invite the anger of the Mystic Heaven Peak by killing one of its core disciples. Forget about rest, your master is alone enough to create big trouble to the Long Clan."

"And second was Liu Mingxia. If Liu Mingxia found out that he killed you, she would hate him and his chance with Liu Mingxia would be gone."

Mu Qing was surely a strong-minded woman, in a few minutes, she analyzed the entire situation. Although she was not a hundred percent sure about this. After all, there could some other reason or maybe Tingguang lied about this.

Mu Qing explained everything to Feng Yun. Feng Yun couldn't help but become a little angry. 

At this time, he thought of the grand competition, he was going meet him on the battlefield in few months, he should collect some interest then for this act. But before that, he needed to talk with Liu Mingxia.

"Yun'er, you are also going to participate in the grand competition, you should be careful from this Prince, Not only he has high strength, but he is also very cunning and treasonous. Although he can't kill you openly, he might make a trap for you in the competition." Mu Qing warned Feng Yun.

Feng Yun nodded. "I will!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, Feng Yun left his mother and aunt alone while he come to his courtyard with the black clothed woman, the same woman who was with him in the jungle.

There was another important thing, he had to deal with Mu Ning. Because of the last incident, she has found out his big secret of Black Pagoda. Feng Yun was still pondering how to deal with her. 

"What is your name?" Feng Yun asked plainly.

"Reply to young master, this servant called Mu Ning." Mu Ning replied respectfully.
