Knife Back in The Scabbard Chapter 193

Rather than chopping a tree with a knife or an axe, the best way to kill a tall tree is to let it rot and eat away at the roots from within.

The two people Lucas Chu brought with her were Zhang Zi'ao and Scorpion. The former was highly skilled in martial arts and experienced, while the latter was ruthless and familiar with the situation. This allowed them to find a loophole to exploit in the Misty Ridge, which was under full martial law. They were like three inconspicuous fish that mixed into muddy water and disappeared into the quagmire in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Bing'e had been planning for years, and even though he had died, his men still had many unexposed stakes planted in the Soul Burial Palace's lair. Scorpion soon got the news from them - Helian Yu was in seclusion in the Weeping Blood Cave, and all matters in the ridge were handed over to Xiao Yangu and Li Feng.

Zhang Ziao glanced in the direction of the Azure Dragon Hall: "Li Feng had his arm chopped off by Ethan Xie when he was in Guyang City. Although his left hand can still be used, it is not at its peak. It is not a good time to compete with Xiao Yangu for power. If he is smart, he will avoid the attack for the time being."

The master-disciple relationship between Xiao Yangu and Zhao Bing'e was extremely secretive, and even an old man like Scorpion was unaware of it. However, he remembered the words of the previous master when he was alive, and said to Lucas Chu: "On the surface, Xiao Yangu is the one who is most respectful of Helian Yu among the four hall masters, but you have already discovered that when she was guarding the White Tiger Underground Palace in the northern border, she took advantage of the geographical advantage to develop military smuggling and north-south caravans, and took a lot of food from the 'Golden Toad'. She is an extremely ambitious and ruthless character who is good at hiding."
