Chapter 182 Cloud Feather 41
Gong Ziyu had once perused the files left by the old master of the blade and had an impression of the Lonely Mountain Sect.
Back then, the two major forces, Gongmen and Wufeng, were at loggerheads, and all the sects in the martial arts world took sides. Gushan Sect firmly stood on Gongmen's side.
However, when the Lonely Mountain Sect was wiped out by Wu Feng, the Palace Gate should have stepped in to save them, but unfortunately, the Palace Gate itself was too busy to help at the time.
Ten years ago, the Cangdong Thunderbolt Hall, which was allied with the Palace Gate, asked the Palace Gate for help. Out of consideration for the alliance, the Palace Gate made an exception and allowed the Thunderbolt Hall to take refuge inside.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a trap set by the Thunderbolt Hall and Wu Feng. The Thunderbolt Hall had secretly hidden Wu Feng's experts among his family members, and took the opportunity to launch an attack.
This sudden attack caused heavy losses to the palace. Apart from Gong Hongyu and the seriously injured Gong Liushang, almost all the palace masters and their adult males were killed in battle.
After this battle, the Palace Gate lost all trust in its allies and for many years kept to itself and bide its time. As a result, when the Lonely Mountain Sect was in dire straits and sought the Palace Gate's protection, the Palace Gate failed to provide timely assistance.
Firstly, the palace gates had suffered severe damage and were greatly weakened, leaving them with no time to attend to other matters. Secondly, there was a fear that the Thunderbolt Hall incident would repeat itself, once again placing the palace gates in danger.
After the Gushan Sect was wiped out, Gong Hongyu felt quite guilty and even sent people out to inquire whether there were any descendants of the Gushan Sect still alive. Unexpectedly, the orphan of the Gushan Sect fell into Wufeng's hands and became a knife that Wufeng used to attack the Gong family.
Gong Ziyu pondered for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, we should treat the orphans of the Lonely Mountain Sect well, but Shangguan Qian's situation is extraordinary."
"Wu Feng spent more than a decade meticulously training Shangguan Qian, Yun Weishan, Zheng Nanyi, and others. His goal was clear: to have them infiltrate the palace as brides-to-be, working together from the inside to destroy the palace."
"To ensure the plan goes perfectly, besides teaching them martial arts and cunning, Wu Feng will definitely instill in them the idea of loyalty to Wu Feng and hatred towards the palace. At the same time, he will also take measures to prevent them from developing rebellious thoughts."
"Do you think Shangguan Qian might betray Wufeng under these circumstances?" Gong Ziyu asked.
Since Wu Feng dared to send assassins into the palace, he must have been absolutely certain that he could control them and prevent them from betraying him.
Even more so, the destruction of the Lonely Mountain Sect may be directly related to the Palace Gate, which makes Shangguan Qian's hatred for the Palace Gate and Wufeng equally intense.
Now, Shangguan Qian is revealing her true identity largely because she has broken free from the control of the Half-Moon Fly. She no longer cares about Wu Feng's threat and only wants to save her life. She then intends to use the power of the palace to turn against Wu Feng and eliminate him.
Gong Shangjiao was no fool; he was well aware of these implications. However, the balance between emotion and reason swayed within him: "Shangguan Qian may be Wu Feng, but she is also the only remaining bloodline of the Gushan Sect. Therefore, Shangguan Qian cannot die, at least not at the hands of the Gong family!"
Gong Ziyu glanced at Gong Shangjiao thoughtfully.
This Shangguan Qian is quite capable!
Gong Shangjiao was interrogated by Shangguan Qian just yesterday, less than a day ago.
In such a short time, Shangguan Qian, a prisoner, managed to persuade Gong Shangjiao to plead for her.
You must know that Gong Shangjiao's parents and younger brother all died at the hands of Wufeng, and he wished he could tear everyone in Wufeng to pieces.
Yet this person who hates Wu Feng to the bone can actually speak up for Shangguan Qian.
That's really impressive!
