The two women were twin sisters, Killer Soul and Destroyer Soul.
The man, who looked very young but had a full head of white hair, was none other than Duan Shui.
All three were quite strong, all being at the upper level of the ninth rank of martial arts.
Besides these four, there were dozens of others, all of whom were powerful martial artists at the seventh or eighth rank.
Such a massive force is truly terrifying.
Even the mansions of noblemen and princes could not possibly afford to support such retainers.
And they were all people from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
They usually play insignificant, minor roles.
Take the Grandmaster Gui Sheng for example; he was incredibly tall and imposing.
Who would have thought that he was just a laborer doing heavy work in the Tianji Pavilion?
Since Chen Qingfeng put Sang Wen in charge of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, she has also made discoveries.
The people of Tianji Pavilion were extremely loyal to Chen Qingfeng.
Even if Chen Qingfeng told them to die, they wouldn't blink an eye.
Even the Grandmaster Gui Sheng was no exception.
Sang Wen was very curious about how Chen Qingfeng had cultivated such loyal subordinates.
Just as Sang Wen was lost in thought by the window, a voice came from behind him:
"Are you all ready?"
Upon hearing the sound, Sang Wen quickly turned around and looked out, only to see that Chen Qingfeng had already entered her room at some point.
After a slight surprise, she nodded and said:
"Young Master, all the men are ready and we can depart at any time!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and hummed in agreement:
"In that case, let's set off!"
"Yes, son."
……
Soon, Chen Qingfeng led the Tianji Pavilion members to the outside of Taiping Villa.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the shadows of the pines and cypresses outside the Taiping Villa swayed like ghostly claws.
"Follow the plan."
Chen Qingfeng gave the order.
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
Gui Sheng and the others bowed and accepted the order, then transformed into streaks of light and quickly disappeared into the night.
Before coming to Taiping Villa, Chen Qingfeng had already distributed sleeping pills.
The drug was something he had created himself. It looked like a pill, and when broken, it would release a colorless and odorless smoky mist.
Even a low-ranking martial artist would collapse upon hearing it.
Within this Taiping Villa, there are numerous guards and sentries, including many ninth-rank martial artists, while the rest are mostly seventh or eighth-rank martial artists.
Soon, Gui Sheng led the Tianji Pavilion members to the upwind side of Taiping Villa that night.
After the sleeping pill shattered, wisps of invisible smoke drifted into the Taiping Villa.
After releasing the sleeping gas, Gui Sheng led his men back to Chen Qingfeng's location.
"Master, it's done!"
"Inside the Taiping Villa, all the imperial guards and sentries were completely captivated."
Chen Qingfeng nodded, naturally knowing that with Grandmaster Gui Sheng's strength, he could clearly sense the locations of the guards and sentries within the Taiping Villa.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he led Gui Sheng and the others into the Taiping Villa in a grand manner.
Once inside, guards and sentries could be seen lying in disarray everywhere.
Under the influence of the sleeping gas, they would be unconscious for at least an hour.
For Chen Qingfeng, there was enough time.
Soon, Chen Qingfeng led Gui Sheng and the others to Ye Qingmei's grave.
"Guisheng, this is the place. Let's start digging!"
Chen Qingfeng shouted an order at Gui Sheng.
"Yes!"
Gui Sheng responded and, without delay, led Sha Po and the others to take action.
The bluestone ground splits apart like flowing water.
With the digging of Gui Sheng and others, a precise opening was soon revealed, leading to the tomb chamber below.
"Master, it's done."
Chen Qingfeng nodded slightly, and with a flash, he jumped down from the cave entrance.
Gui Sheng and the others didn't delay and quickly followed.
Before long, Chen Qingfeng and the others arrived at the tomb chamber.
Chen Qingfeng visited this place not long ago.
However, on that occasion, he entered alone using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through the earth), and for various reasons, he was unable to take Ye Qingmei away.
That is precisely why this action was taken.
Returning here again, Chen Qingfeng felt a mix of emotions.
He stood up and went straight to the crystal-clear coffin. Looking down, he saw Ye Qingmei inside the coffin, her face lifelike.
"Mother!"
"I've come to take you home."
Chen Qingfeng sighed, his fingers slowly gliding along the edge of the coffin. The image of Ye Qingmei committing suicide flashed through his mind, still vivid in his memory.
"Carry it away!"
After regaining his composure, Chen Qingfeng immediately gave the order.
"Yes!"
Gui Sheng responded and immediately beckoned four eighth-rank martial artists to come forward. They then used specially made black iron chains to bind the coffin.
"Be careful, everyone! Don't bump into the coffin!"
Gui Sheng coldly shouted.
The warriors carrying the coffin nodded, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Soon, Chen Qingfeng and the others returned to the surface from the tomb.
"Gui Sheng, erase all traces."
"Leave no trace of our presence!"
Chen Qingfeng looked at Gui Sheng and gave this instruction.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency!"
"give it to me."
Then, Gui Sheng led his men to backfill the dug-out passage, and the broken bluestone ground was restored to its original state.
Everything proceeded smoothly and efficiently!
Before long, everything returned to its original state, and even upon close inspection, no flaws could be found.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction before quietly leaving with Gui Sheng and the others.
……
Tianji Pavilion, a secret room.
This is a place that Chen Qingfeng had Sang Wen specially prepare.
At this moment, Sang Wen was waiting in the secret room.
"Given Gui Sheng's skills, judging by the time, they should have returned by now."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a commotion came from outside the secret room.
Upon hearing the sound, Sang Wen quickly pressed the mechanism and opened the door to the secret chamber.
Soon after, Chen Qingfeng and the others entered the secret chamber carrying a crystal-clear coffin.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing this, Sang Wen was slightly surprised and muttered to himself:
"Young Master took them to the Taiping Villa and brought back a coffin? And there's a beautiful woman lying inside?"
Just as Sang Wen was lost in thought, Chen Qingfeng had already ordered the coffin to be placed properly. After dismissing Gui Sheng and the others, Chen Qingfeng looked at Sang Wen:
"What? What are you still thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Wen snapped out of his daze and looked at the coffin.
Before Sang Wen could even ask, Chen Qingfeng spoke first:
"The one lying inside is my mother!"
"what?"
Sang Wen was shocked and his face was full of disbelief. He never expected that the beauty in the coffin was Chen Qingfeng's biological mother.
She paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and asked:
"Young master, why did you bring your aunt's body back?"
