Suddenly, so many martial artists rushed over in a menacing manner. This caused the guards to be even more vigilant as they gripped their weapons tightly.
Pei Guangbin was even more shocked than them. He was at the peak stage of the Soul Refinement Realm, but even he couldn't see through the strength of the two people at the front. Without a doubt, these two people were Origin Realm experts.
His gaze swept across the incoming people and suddenly saw a familiar face. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Li Haibo?"
Li Haibo was also a member of the Hundred Herb Hall. Just like Pei Guangbin, he was also at the peak stage of the Soul Refinement Realm. Pei Guangbin had met him a few times, so he recognized him immediately.
"Pei Guangbin, how have you been?" Li Haibo took a few steps forward and spoke plainly to Pei Guangbin.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. I wonder why you are here? Is the Hall Master summoning young miss back?" Pei Guangbin asked in a deep voice. He had a bad premonition.
Hearing this, Li Haibo couldn't help but laugh, "Hall Master summoning? Yes, it is indeed the Hall Master summoning. But he isn't summoning young miss back, he is summoning young miss to accompany him. Hahaha. "
Hearing this, Su Ye was shocked. She quickly rushed out from her hiding place and asked loudly, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Haibo's eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked at Su Ye and said, "So young miss is hiding here. I was wondering why I didn't see young miss."
"You assassinated the Hall Master? Are you trying to rebel?! "Pei Guangbin was also shocked by Li Haibo's words and questioned loudly.
Li Haibo smiled and said, "Don't be so agitated. The Hall Master isn't dead yet, but he will be soon. His birthday banquet will probably be his death anniversary. But in order to make the Hall Master more obedient, we would like young miss to cooperate. I don't think there will be a problem, right?"
Su Ye was so angry that her body was trembling. She pointed at Li Haibo and said, "You guys actually dare to rebel. Who gave you the guts!"
"You don't have to ask too much about this, Young Lady. You just need to cooperate with us. Otherwise, it would be bad if you were to get hurt." Although Li Haibo addressed her as Young Lady, there was not the slightest hint of respect in his words.
At this moment, Pei Guangbin's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley. During this period of time, he had long sensed that there was an undercurrent surging within Hundred Herb Hall. However, he had never thought that it would be so intense. They actually wanted to directly act against the Hall Master? Could it be that one of the branch hall leaders wanted to usurp the position?
However, what angered him even more was the fact that Su Ye had wanted to give her grandfather a surprise. Thus, they had come out to search for medicinal herbs in secret. Not many people knew about it. Yet, Li Haibo had actually led a group of people to accurately locate them. Without a doubt, there was a traitor among them!
Pei Guangbin instantly turned to look at Lu Xuan and stared at him. "It's you!"
He had great faith in these brothers of his. They would never betray him. However, there was one more outsider this time, and that was Lu Xuan. He could not think of any reason to remove the suspicion of Lu Xuan.
Hearing Pei Guangbin's shout, Lu Xuan furrowed his brows. He knew what Pei Guangbin meant and replied in a low voice, "It wasn't me."
Pei Guangbin had already determined that Lu Xuan was the traitor. He did not care about what Lu Xuan had to say. He smiled coldly and said, "I never thought that the story of the farmer and the snake that I heard when I was young would actually play out on me. The Young Lady treats you so well, yet you're actually a traitor."
Initially, the crowd did not understand what Pei Guangbin and Lu Xuan were talking about. However, when they heard him say it, they were all shocked. Su Ye looked at Lu Xuan in astonishment and subconsciously distanced herself from Lu Xuan.
Young Master Lu was actually the one who had betrayed them? Su Ye did not dare to believe it. However, at this moment, this seemed to be the most plausible explanation. Lu Xuan had inexplicably appeared in the Wounded Kylin Forest. Coincidentally, Lu Xuan had also lost his memory. Lu Xuan had used her kindness to gain her trust. Then, he had taken the opportunity to leave marks for those who came after him along the way. Su Ye pieced together some facts and deductions, and she slowly began to accept the reality of her betrayal.
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I never thought that Young Master Lu's acting skills would be so superb. In order to capture me, you were willing to put on a show of self-harm. I believe that your injuries must have been very painful, right?"
She had checked on Lu Xuan's injuries before, and there was nothing fake about it. He was indeed on the verge of death. If it wasn't for her treatment, he would not have been able to live for long. Because of this, she felt at ease when she trusted Lu Xuan. However, she did not expect that it was all a show of self-harm, a show of self-harm.
"I already said, I'm not a traitor." Lu Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter. What did this have to do with him? However, he wasn't too angry at Su Ye and Pei Guangbin. He was indeed the biggest suspect. If his position was swapped with Su Ye's, he would also be suspicious.
"He is indeed not a traitor. I can testify. But whether you guys believe me or not, it is none of my business." Li Haibo spoke with interest. He didn't expect to witness such a good show when he came to capture them. They had two first level Origin Realm experts on their side. Taking down Su Ye and her group was not a problem at all. Hence, they weren't in a hurry to act.
Pei Guangbin would never believe Li Haibo's testimony. He had already determined that Lu Xuan was a traitor and was in cahoots with Pei Guangbin. Of course, he would speak up for Lu Xuan.
"So what if you found us? Even if I, Pei Guangbin, die today, I will drag one of you down with me!" Pei Guangbin glared at Li Haibo with ruthless eyes. He didn't have the ability to swap out the two Origin Realm experts. But if he were to risk his life, he might be able to drag Li Haibo down with him. Among the elixirs in Hundred Herb Hall, there were elixirs that could stimulate the potential of the human body.
Li Haibo sneered, "You want to drag me down with you? Do you think you have the ability to kill me with two Origin Realm experts? Dream on! "
"That's about it. Let's do it." One of the Origin Realm martial artists spoke with a hoarse voice. He and the other Origin Realm martial artist were both shrouded in a cloak. It was impossible to see their silhouettes and appearances. It was obvious that they were intentionally concealing their identities so that no one could identify them.
"Then I will have to trouble the two of you to make your move." Li Haibo cupped his hands towards the two of them. He was just a guide. The ones who would be making a move were these two Origin Realm experts. With them around, Li Haibo and his group didn't even need to make a move. They only brought along a few more people just in case.
"Protect the young mistress with your life! We must ensure the young mistress' safety! "Pei Guangbin shouted.
"Captain, you bring the young mistress away. We will cover the rear!" One of the guards shouted.
"Yes, we will cover the rear. At most, we will die." The rest of the guards voiced out as well. They looked as if they were facing death with equanimity.
Upon hearing the words of his brothers, Pei Guangbin's initial suspicions towards them immediately vanished. It seemed that Lu Xuan was the real spy.
"There is no need to cover the rear. If you obediently obey, I can spare your lives. You can continue to work for Hundred Herb Hall. But if anyone dares to resist, kill without mercy!" The Origin Realm expert said in a low voice.
After finishing his sentence, he flew towards Su Ye and reached out his right hand to grab her. Their goal was to bring Su Ye away and force the Hundred Herb Hall's Hall Master, Su Hexuan to submit.
However, how could the guards allow him to capture Su Ye so easily? The guard who was closest to Su Ye immediately stepped forward and slashed at the Origin Returning Realm martial artist with a large saber.
"Courting death!" The martial artist shouted and instantly changed his target. His right hand quickly struck out and slapped the blade of the saber. At the same time, his left hand turned into a claw and ruthlessly struck at the martial artist's heart.
These two moves were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the martial artist's claw struck the guard's heart. His five fingers instantly pierced into the guard's body and pulled out, leaving five deep bloody holes. This time, the martial artist's qi force had completely penetrated the guard's heart.
"Asura Demon Claw!" Pei Guangbin cried out in shock. This Origin Realm martial artist was obviously proficient in hand martial arts. Pei Guangbin wanted to help, but his opponent's speed was too fast. He couldn't make it in time and could only watch helplessly as Pei Guangbin struck the guard brother and was instantly killed.
"I'll say it again. Those who block me shall die!" The Origin Realm expert shouted.
"Everyone, don't move. They just want to capture me. Let them capture me." Su Ye spoke in time. She didn't want to see these loyal guards sacrificing themselves for no reason. Since they wanted to capture them, then let them be. She was very worried about her grandfather's condition and decided to return with them first. If they dared to use her to threaten her grandfather, she would kill herself immediately and not let her grandfather be in a difficult position.
Hearing Su Ye's words, the Origin Realm expert couldn't help but laugh coldly: "Very good. You are indeed Su Hexuan's granddaughter. You have a good grasp of the big picture. Saves me the trouble."
Immediately, he walked towards Su Ye. The guards looked at each other, not knowing if they should go forward to seek death or listen to their young miss and not make a move.
However, Pei Guangbin didn't hesitate at all. How could he watch his young miss being captured? He immediately flew towards the martial artist. He was at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm. No matter what, he had to give it a try.
"Pei Dage, don't!" Su Ye exclaimed.
The martial artist turned his head to look at Pei Guangbin who was charging towards him and said in a low voice: "Reckless brat."
He struck out with his palm and a strong qi force instantly rushed towards Pei Guangbin. It was the Sky Cleaving Palm. When executed with the strength of an Origin Realm expert, the power was incomparably strong.
Pei Guangbin could only feel a strong qi force rushing towards him. It immediately pushed him back and he was no longer able to block it. The difference between the Spirit Refinement Realm and the Origin Realm was actually so huge!
Su Ye was worried that Pei Guangbin would once again send himself to death. She quickly said: "Big Brother Pei, I know you have good intentions. But I don't want to see my brothers die for me. They just want to capture me, not kill me. Everyone, don't worry about me."
Li Haibo heard this and laughed: "Listen, Young Miss Su is still sensible. Pei Guangbin, just stay here obediently."
The Origin Realm expert no longer cared about Pei Guangbin and walked towards Su Ye. But this time, someone called out to stop him.
"Wait!"
This time, the one who spoke was actually Lu Xuan. His words instantly attracted everyone's attention. Pei Guangbin wanted to see what this spy was going to say. The Origin Realm expert didn't know the inside story and thought that Lu Xuan was on their side. Hence, he had no choice but to temporarily stop.
