Wang Butcher quickly transmitted his voice: "Steady yourself. Those who achieve great things remain calm in the face of storms. Don't panic!"

Wang Butcher wasn't teaching me what to do, but was afraid that I would lose my composure in a moment of excitement and be countered by Pei Haohong.

Ye Yang gently pulled me aside. Wang Butcher asked in my stead, "As far as I know, the Confucian school has always looked down on Jianghu people, especially sorcerers. Why did you gather a large number of sorcerers in Banxianzhuang back then?"

Pei Haohong said, "Back then, I didn't understand the purpose of Banxianzhuang either."

"At first, I thought they were setting a trap to lure rebellious Confucians. But I couldn't resist wanting to go in and take a look."

"I was very careful when I approached Banxianzhuang back then."

"After I entered Banxianzhuang, I realized that they didn't have any sinister schemes. They really wanted to use formations and mechanisms to replace Confucian scholars in suppressing the Stele Forest."

"Because, after the Confucian scholar of the Pei family borrowed two Demon Suppressing Steles from Banxianzhuang, he took away the Soul Gathering Coffin, causing the Stele Forest to be incomplete, which also led to the rampage of the fierce demons."

"The price Banxianzhuang paid to suppress the fierce demons is incalculable."

"Just the Grand Scholars and Erudite Scholars alone who died in battle numbered seven, not to mention the later emerging forces."

"Banxianzhuang suffered heavy casualties, and its position in the Jianghu plummeted."

"Banxianzhuang couldn't withstand the losses of using people to suppress demons, and had no choice but to lower its status and spend a lot of money to hire Jianghu people to lay out Banxianzhuang."

"All of this has made Banxianzhuang hate the Pei family even more!"

Pei Haohong sighed deeply, and Xia Mengying also said to herself, "No wonder, I heard that Banxianzhuang used to cultivate disciples through patient instruction, teaching according to their aptitude. Later, it suddenly became eager for quick success and indifferent to human feelings."

"So, it was to replenish the disciples suppressing the Stele Forest!"

I now understand why Banxianzhuang has always been hostile to me.

I got the Demon Suppressing Stele, but didn't return it to Banxianzhuang.

Although this complies with Jianghu rules, it is unacceptable from Banxianzhuang's perspective.

However, why didn't Banxianzhuang ask me for the Demon Suppressing Stele back then?

While I was pondering, Wang Butcher had already asked calmly, "What kind of people did Banxianzhuang gather back then? What kind of mechanisms did they set up?"

Pei Haohong said, "Back then, the Jianghu sorcerers they gathered were divided into three groups."

"One group was mainly responsible for resisting the fierce demons. The people in this group had the highest cultivation and were able to fight and struggle. It was like using flesh and blood to desperately resist the emergence of the fierce demons."

"That group of people were all famous and daring sorcerers at the time. The leaders were Li Chunfeng, Wen Yile, and Xia Yuting from Banxianzhuang."

My heart tightened.

So, my dad and Wen Yile met in Banxianzhuang. Why didn't Wen Yile tell me back then?

Ye Yang reached out and pressed my shoulder, and transmitted his voice in a low voice: "Leave it to Senior Sister to handle. Don't move!"

Pei Haohong said, "Another group was led by the Tiangong Sect, mainly responsible for designing mechanisms."

"There is also a group from the sect, responsible for arranging formations."

Ye Yang said to Lin Zhao, "Go contact Zero."

When we settled the grievances between the Ye family and Nan Yimu, we had already received the news that Zero had subdued Huang Tiangong.

The Tiangong Sect should have the mechanism design drawings of Banxianzhuang. Only Zero can get that picture.

After Lin Zhao left knowingly, Wang Butcher tentatively asked, "Isn't the Confucian school disdainful of sorcerers? How could they mix with Li Chunfeng and the others?"

Pei Haohong said, "Banxianzhuang hired sorcerers to take action. Could they stand by idly? Back then, Xia Yuting led the Banxianzhuang death soldiers to cooperate with the sorcerers to guard the Stele Forest. They naturally came together."

Wang Butcher sneered, "I thought Xia Yuting had an affair with Li Chunfeng?"

Pei Haohong said, "Xia Yuting only had respect, not admiration, for Jianghu heroes like Li Chunfeng. They always called each other brother and sister. They even avoided meeting alone to avoid suspicion. I was also fortunate enough to participate in their discussions of tactics."

"Although Li Chunfeng is a Jianghu roughneck, his way of using troops is not only no less than that of the Confucian military strategists, but even slightly better. It's a pity that such a talented person didn't join the Confucian school, but was left to wander the Jianghu!"

Wang Butcher said, "I heard that Xia Yuting and Li Chunfeng had an affair and had a child?"

"Nonsense!" Pei Haohong said angrily, "Back then, Li Chunfeng and Xia Yuting were doing their best..."

Pei Haohong suddenly stopped here: "No! Back then, Li Chunfeng and Xia Yuting did get lost in the Stele Forest for several days. When Wen Yile led people to break the Stele Forest, the two of them were disheveled."

"After that, Xia Yuting never saw Li Chunfeng again, and she herself lived in seclusion."

"Could it be that time..."

"No...no..." Pei Haohong shook his head and said, "After that, Xia Yuting was still leading the team to resist the fierce demons. How could a pregnant woman lead troops into battle?"

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this. Wang Butcher said, "I heard that Li Chunfeng took a baby with him when he left Banxianzhuang. That child couldn't have grown out of the Stele Forest, could he?"

Pei Haohong said with slight anger, "Why are you, a woman, so curious about people's private affairs? You have to know..."
