Entering the Martial Arts World for the First Time(nine)

Hearing that the child's grandfather had been taken away by the "Six Directions Alliance", Lin Feng and Lei Bao were extremely anxious. They immediately chased in the eastward direction pointed by the child. The streets were bustling with traffic and people coming and going. The two of them weaved through the crowd, their eyes eagerly searching for suspicious figures. Lin Feng, while running, paid attention to the expressions and words of the people around him, trying to obtain clues about the "Six Directions Alliance".

Suddenly, Lei Bao grabbed Lin Feng and pointed to a black - clothed man who had turned into an alley in front. He whispered,

"Look, that person is acting suspiciously. Maybe he has something to do with the 'Six Directions Alliance'."

Lin Feng took a closer look. The black - clothed man was walking in a hurry. Although his clothes were ordinary, a section of the knife handle was faintly revealed around his waist, exuding a murderous aura. The two looked at each other, understood each other's intentions, and quietly followed him.

The alley was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell. The black - clothed man did not stop. After turning a few corners, he came to a closed door. He looked around vigilantly and then raised his hand to knock on the door, knocking on the door panel in a strange rhythm. Lin Feng and Lei Bao hid around the corner, closely watching the black - clothed man's every move.

Just then, the door creaked open, and a hoarse voice came.

"What's the matter?"

The black - clothed man whispered a few words. The voice was too low for Lin Feng and the others to hear. soon afterwards,the black - clothed man slipped into the house, and the door slowly closed again. Lin Feng was extremely anxious. He was worried that the child's grandfather was inside the house. If he was not rescued in time, his life might be in danger. But if they rushed in rashly, the number of opponents was unknown, and they were in the dark, so they would be in a passive position.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng said to Lei Bao,

"Brother Lei, I'll climb over the wall from the back and go in to see the situation. You keep watch at the door. If there are any changes, we'll cooperate from the inside and outside."

Lei Bao nodded in agreement.

"Be careful. The people of the 'Six Directions Alliance' are full of tricks."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, bent over, and quietly walked along the alley wall to the back of the house. He looked at the courtyard wall and saw an abandoned wooden box beside the wall. He moved the box to the wall, stepped on the box, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and with a strong push, flipped over into the courtyard.

The courtyard was silent. Several dilapidated houses were scattered around. There was a small courtyard in the middle, with some sundries scattered on the ground. Lin Feng carefully approached one of the houses and peeked inside through the window crack. The room was dim. Several black - clothed men were sitting around a table, with some food and wine on the table, but there was no sign of the child's grandfather. Lin Feng was puzzled. He quietly came to another house. This time, he heard faint moans coming from inside the house.

Lin Feng's heart was pounding. He leaned close to the door, trying to hear the movement inside.

At this time, a voice said viciously,

"Old thing, tell me quickly. Where did your precious grandson hide the thing? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you today!"

Another voice was weak but firm.

"I don't know what you're talking about. My grandson is a good boy. He wouldn't hide your things!"

Lin Feng was shocked. He was sure that the old man being tortured inside was the child's grandfather. He was extremely anxious. Looking around, he found a wooden stick beside the door and picked it up, ready to break into the door.

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Lin Feng quickly hid aside and looked through the crack of the door. He saw the black - clothed man who had entered earlier leading several companions into the courtyard, walking towards the room where the child's grandfather was being held. Lin Feng thought to himself that something was wrong. If he was discovered, not only would he not be able to save the person, but he would also be in danger. At this time, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind: If he could subdue these people, perhaps he could learn the whereabouts of Yun Feiyang from their mouths.

The black - clothed men walked to the door. One of them pushed the door open and cursed,

"Old thing, if you're not honest, you'll suffer!"

Lin Feng saw the opportunity and suddenly rushed out from the dark. The wooden stick in his hand smashed towards the head of the leading black - clothed man. The black - clothed man was caught off guard and was hit solidly. He let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground. The other black - clothed men saw this and quickly drew their weapons, surrounding Lin Feng. Lin Feng waved the wooden stick and fought with the black - clothed men. Although he was skilled in martial arts, the opponents had the advantage in numbers and were all fierce. For a while, Lin Feng gradually fell into a difficult situation.

Outside the courtyard, Lei Bao heard the sound of fighting and was extremely anxious. He was worried about Lin Feng's safety. No longer hesitating, he kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in. Lei Bao's arrival immediately reversed the situation. His saber techniques were sharp. Each slash was accompanied by a whistling sound of the wind, and the black - clothed men retreated one after another. Lin Feng took the opportunity to catch his breath and stood back - to - back with Lei Bao, looking out for each other.

After a fierce battle, most of the black - clothed men were knocked down. The remaining few, seeing the situation was not good, turned around and wanted to escape.

Lin Feng shouted loudly, "Want to run? Not so easy!"

His figure flashed, blocking the way of one black - clothed man and subduing him. Lei Bao also dealt with the last black - clothed man. The two came to the room where the child's grandfather was being held and rescued the old man.

The old man's face was covered with scars, and he said weakly, "Thank you, two brave men. If it weren't for you, the old man's life would be gone."

Lin Feng helped the old man sit down and asked, "Old man, why did they arrest you? What exactly are they looking for?"

The old man shook his head. "I really don't know. They suddenly broke into my house and said that my grandson stole their things. But my grandson has always been honest. How could he do such a thing?"

Lin Feng and Lei Bao looked at each other. They knew in their hearts that there must be something hidden in this. At this time, Lin Feng remembered that he had not obtained any clues from the subdued black - clothed man.

He walked up to the black - clothed man, grabbed his collar, and said, "Tell me, why did your 'Six Directions Alliance' arrest this old man? Also, do you know the whereabouts of the carefree wanderer in the martial arts world, Yun Feiyang?"

A look of fear flashed in the black - clothed man's eyes, but he still stubbornly said, "I don't know. Don't think you can get anything out of me!"

Lin Feng was angry and increased the strength in his hand. "If you don't tell me, you won't be able to leave here alive today!"

The black - clothed man's face turned pale. After a moment of hesitation, he finally opened his mouth.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you... The old man's grandson bumped into one of our brothers in the market before. Maybe he accidentally took something from him. We were ordered to come and look for it. As for Yun Feiyang, I only heard that he appeared near the broken temple outside the city recently. I really don't know anything else."

Lin Feng and Lei Bao got the clues and looked at each other.

Lin Feng let go of the black - clothed man and said to Lei Bao, "Brother Lei, let's send the old man home first, and then go to the broken temple outside the city to have a look. Maybe we can find Yun Feiyang."

Lei Bao nodded in agreement. The two sent the old man home. The child had been waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw his grandfather return safely, he was overjoyed and thanked Lin Feng and Lei Bao profusely.

After saying goodbye to the old man and the child, Lin Feng and Lei Bao rushed towards the broken temple outside the city without stopping. Along the way, Lin Feng was full of anticipation. He was eager to see Yun Feiyang as soon as possible and join hands with him to fight against the "Six Directions Alliance". But in the broken temple outside the city, would Yun Feiyang be waiting for them? Or was it a trap set by the "Six Directions Alliance"? Everything was unknown. The two, with a sense of trepidation, strode forward into the unknown...
