Without Zhu Xingtong, although Ye Wen felt a bit regretful in his heart, he was more relieved and happy. Seeing that Dong Fang Rui was still the same as before, he was even more happy. Ye Chonglou and Dong Fang Rui were both sons and daughters of the martial world, so they didn't pay much attention to the common etiquette of men and women. However, because Zhu Xingtong was with them, they also slept separately. The two of them had traveled at a relatively slow speed. They had even forgotten the purpose of their journey, as well as their agreement to meet up with Liang Rufeng at the Single Family Castle.

Three days passed just like that. As they continued north, the mountain paths disappeared and the weather gradually became colder. Ye Chanhan and Dongfang Rui had bought some clothes to protect themselves from the cold and asked for the location of the single family castle, so they could proceed at a moderate pace. This time, Ye Mo Han was planning to make a decision with the Jade Pavilion. It seemed like the other party already knew where they were, so he decided not to dodge and instead openly advanced towards the Arctic Mountain Range.

On their way there, Dongfang Rui tried to say something, but she hesitated a few times. Seeing her strange expression, Ye Mo Han didn't know if she was worried about going to the extreme north, or if she had discovered the abnormality of his murder. Because she was worried about the latter, Ye Mo Han was also unwilling to ask, and pretended not to see her.

A wild wind kicked up, filling the land. The sky and the earth connected in a line as they occasionally saw a merchant caravan in the distance. All of them tightly wrapped their coats, afraid that the cold wind would pour into their bodies and drive away their hard-earned warmth. There were also a large number of merchants who were rushing carts full of goods. When they saw Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui, they also nodded and smiled.

There was a group of Wudang clan cattle dealers, a group of twenty with Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui travelling northward for two days. Some people asked them the purpose of their trip, and Ye Mo Han just said that he would go to the Single Family Castle to find a friend.

Hearing that the two of them were going to the Single Family Castle, everyone treated Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui with even more respect. Ye Mo was curious, so he asked what was going on. The twenty of them seemed to have opened their mouths, and each of their sentences was filled with praise for the master of the Single Family Castle. It took a long time for Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui to understand the role of the Single Family Castle in the north.

The master of the castle was a lone strong man, a vulgar disciple of the Shaolin Faction who did not enter the Samana District. He had entered the castle at the age of five and had gone down the mountain at the age of twenty-two. At that time, the martial arts world in the Central Plains was in chaos. He was born with an unrestrained disposition, and was a man of wealth and righteousness. Thus, he had befriended quite a few people. When a lone expert was alone in a foreign land, he could not help but be looked down upon by others. At that time, the north was a place of constant strife among the smaller factions. At that time, the Wudang Sect was a large sect, but its influence had yet to extend to this point. Thus, in the north, changing hands from morning to night was almost a normal occurrence. In this sort of situation, a single strong person's livelihood was greatly obstructed.

At first, he had looked after the house of one of the local gentry and sent some of the local thugs to ask for money. As time passed, the local sects who were in charge of the place learned that three or five people had come looking for him. The lowest level disciples simply wanted to rely on their sect's reputation to enjoy the feeling of being feared and flattered by others. The strong alone didn't want to take the risk, so they injured several people severely. The squire was afraid that he would get into trouble, so that night he used the name of a banquet to entrap the strong and tied him up for the disciples of influential figures in the sect.

In less than three days, the news had spread, and his friends from before had indeed helped him. They had teamed up, notifying the Shaolin Faction while gathering together to gather the important people. The Shaolin Faction didn't think much of vulgar disciples to begin with. Seeing that the powerful Dan Qiang had attracted a group of martial practitioners to rush out to rescue them, fearing gossip, they sent five people to the north to find a local sect to negotiate with. The movement of the people of the martial world, especially the Shaolin Faction, had attracted the attention of the Heaven's Will Sect. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, Ren Tianxing Sect's Sect Leader had requested his subordinate sect to release him. It was at this time that the Sect Leader who arrested him said that Dan Qiang ran away, and while running, he had also kidnapped his wife.

As a result, it was the Northern Sects' turn to be impatient. To the Heaven's Will Sect, the loss of the captured Sect Leader's wife was considered a disgrace. The Sect Leader was infuriated, but due to the Shaolin Faction's prestige, he could only mediate and say that as long as he came back and admitted his wrongs, the matter would be written off. The five members of the Shaolin Faction had no objections to this. The others, seeing how the Lady Boss was kidnapped, found it interesting and disappeared without a trace. However, they also thought of finding a way to deal with this major problem.

How could he have known that Dan Qiang still hadn't sent any news in half a month? When the news came, it really did shock everyone. He had single-handedly killed the entire family of the gentry who had drugged him, and had even brought the Matriarch of the Sectmaster over to demand that he hand this woman over to her. Actually, with that Sect Leader's temper, even if his wife returned safely, he wouldn't believe her innocence. If he didn't expel her from the sect, he would have killed her. However, for a lone expert to act so arrogantly and openly and ask for someone from him, it would truly be a disgrace to him. Enraged, he shouted for his men to kill Dan Qiang. However, with the Sect Leader by his side, how could the Sect Leader and his subordinates dare to act carelessly? While his subordinates were hesitating, the Sect Leader made his move. He was embroiled in a battle with a lone expert, and after hundreds of blows, victory would be lost. Someone wanted to help out, but was stopped by the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Will Sect.

When it came to the fight between Dan Qiang and the others, the group of people were even more confused. Some said that Dan Qiang was injured by the Sect Leader's hidden weapon, and some said that his martial arts skills were no match for the Sect Leader, but the final result was the same. The Sect Leader's wife helped him withstand a fatal blow, while the latter took the opportunity to kill the Sect Leader.

Ye Mo Han and Dong Fang Rui looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They asked blankly, "In such a short period of time, the Sect Leader's wife can die for him?"

The group of people couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. Then, they slowly explained, "This Madam Sect Leader is none other than the playmate of a single strong person when he was young." Not long after Shi Qiang went to the Shaolin Faction to study, the Sect Leader's wife was sold to merchants in the north. She had not been heard of since, and she was left behind in the mortal world, suffering from a lot of cold and heartache. How could she have known that at this time, a young man would give his all to redeem her and take her as his wife. The two of them made a small deal. Although their lives were poor, they were satisfied. But life, will always give you dawn, and then hit you hard. Not long after the two's good days had passed, the Sect Leader fell for the pretty girl and failed to snatch her husband's hand. Since the debt of blood was settled, the weak girl could only allow herself to be bullied by others.

On the surface, she was the Sect Leader's wife, but in reality, there was a group of spies surrounding her. Even when the sect master was in the same room with her, he was wary of her. This situation didn't improve until three years later, when she gave birth to a child. Eight years had passed since they met, and their young playmate had long since lost his original appearance. It could be said that it was difficult to get to know each other, and they only remembered his name. On that day, everyone was beating Dan Qiang up. The latter wasn't afraid in the slightest, he was even swearing loudly. When she passed by, she heard mockery in her heart. There were indeed a lot of people like this. However, they were going to be too stubborn with their words. If they were really going to be killed, they would be much more obedient.

How could I know this? "I, your father, am going to die in the hands of you underlings. My life as a hero has truly been in vain." When she heard the word 'familiar', she didn't have much of a reaction. She took two steps forward and was stunned before she quietly went back to the dark. Seeing how he was beaten up, her face had a hint of familiarity and her heart was extremely excited.
