A withered palm grabbed He Zu Dao's wrist at the critical moment.
Although the palm did not land on his head, the wind pressure caused his entire face to tremble.
However, compared to his current sorry state, this was nothing as long as he could keep his life.
He looked at the person's palm that was as pale as a withered tree.
Jiang Chen finally felt relieved. Everything was still going according to his plan.
He Zu Dao instinctively wanted to resist when his palm was stopped.
Unfortunately, the palm was like an iron clamp that prevented him from moving at all.
"Elder Hong?"
"What's the meaning of this?"
Looking at the person who was holding his hand, He Zudao immediately questioned.
"I should be the one asking you what the meaning of this is."
Honglu looked coldly at He Zu Dao.
The news of inner court disciples killing each other naturally reached Hong Lu's ears.
When he heard that it was Jiang Chen who did it, he immediately understood that this kid was doing it on purpose.
After all, based on his understanding of Jiang Chen, he knew that this kid was cunning and ruthless. How could he do something so unwise?
There was only one possibility. Zhang Hong's men must have contacted him.
Zhang Hong wanted to see him now. As for why he killed him?
That was not important.
What was important was that he put on a good show with Zhang Hong.
"I'm just carrying out my duties as a member of the Tribunal Council!"
"What's the meaning of this?"
He Zudao questioned again without giving him any chance to explain.
"You have to look at the owner before you hit a dog."
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Honglu looked displeased.
"What do I mean?"
At this time, He Zudao really didn't know what Hong Lu meant.
As a deacon of the Tribunal Council, he was very familiar with the entire Tribunal Council.
However, Elder Hong was the only variable.
This was because he had paid a visit to Elder Hong before. Unfortunately, he was refused entry.
He had a very bad impression of Elder Hong.
Therefore, he despised this legendary good-for-nothing elder. Therefore, he did not show any respect when Honglu appeared out of nowhere.
Instead, the first thing he did was to question him!
"Jiang Chen, let me ask you, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Honglu ignored He Zu Dao and looked at Jiang Chen instead.
"This … Can't you change the location of your disciple?"
Jiang Chen's expression was as bitter as a bitter gourd.
"I'm just asking you, are you willing?"
As the corners of Honglu's mouth curled up, He Zu Dao's palm fell another half an inch.
Although it was only half an inch, in the eyes of others, it was the distance between life and death.
"I'm willing. I'm willing."
"Master, save me! Master, save me!"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately shouted in fear.
"If you don't have sincerity, you should kneel, kowtow, and call me master."
The smile on Honglu's face dissipated, but he looked at Jiang Chen playfully.
"Oh!!"
Jiang Chen looked at Honglu with resentment.
"Did you see that? He's my disciple now."
After Jiang Chen bowed, Honglu looked at He Zu Dao coldly.
"Elder Hong, even if he's your disciple, you can't bend the law for personal gain."
He Zu Dao looked at Honglu with an ashen face.
He was definitely here to make things difficult for him. Who would accept a disciple like this?
"Impudent! You actually dare to order an elder like me around?!"
Honglu was furious. He Zu Dao's body was instantly sent flying.
"Boom!!"
Under the incredulous gazes of the Enforcers, He Zu Dao crashed into several walls before collapsing in a pool of blood.
When an elder was angry, his power was terrifying!!
Was this still the legendary Tiangang school's most useless elder?
The weakest Enforcers of the Tiangang school were at least in the Connate inner qi realm.
However, a law enforcer was unable to resist Hong Lu at all.
"Do you … have anything to say?"
After dealing with He Zu Dao, Honglu couldn't help but look at Fang Qingyun.
"Elder Hong … killing a fellow disciple is a great taboo in the Tiangang school."
"What do you think?"
Fang Qingyun shrunk his neck and immediately cupped his hands respectfully.
He Zu Dao was his Senior Brother and was stronger than him. However, even he couldn't withstand a single blow from Honglu.
However, as an Enforcer, he had to fulfill his duty.
Hence, Fang Qingyun had to bite the bullet and say this.
"Great taboo? Then where did you go just now? "
"Alright, I won't waste time with you."
"What my disciple said is right."
"You should investigate He Zu Dao thoroughly and see how many other sect secrets he has leaked."
Honglu waved his hand and ended the matter.
"Yes!"
"We'll follow Elder Hong's arrangements."
Fang Qingyun, who knew he was in the wrong, quickly nodded.
The surrounding Enforcers saw this, but they didn't dare to object.
This was the domineering authority of an Elder.
Looking at Jiang Chen, who was following behind Honglu, the Enforcers couldn't help but look enviously at him.
"An Elder's disciple? This seniority?"
"Even if we don't talk about seniority, he's definitely a true disciple."
"How fortunate. He's become a phoenix."
"Sigh! I regret not befriending him back then. "
"What's the point of saying all this now? Elder Hong is in our Enforcer Hall every day?"
"Yeah, what a pity. If I knew he was going to take in a disciple, I would have been more respectful to him back then."
“.....”
Ignoring the whispers of the surrounding Enforcers, Jiang Chen followed Honglu back to the Enforcer Hall's identity verification room.
"Are you satisfied?"
Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Honglu rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen.
"Sigh! Master, you've got to help me!! "
Sighing deeply, Jiang Chen plopped down on the ground.
"Looks like they're really looking for you."
It turned out that this show was premeditated by the two of them.
Their goal was naturally to openly take in Jiang Chen as their disciple.
It turned out that when Jiang Chen returned to the Tiangang school, he sent a message to Honglu.
"Isn't that so? Fortunately, your disciple is lucky."
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but began to spout nonsense.
Of course, there were truths and lies.
Some were true, and some were false.
It was true that he was being hunted down by the Jiang family, and the Shadow Guard saved him.
Of course, the false one was He Zu Dao.
Jiang Chen didn't say that it was a personal grudge. Instead, he said that it was all thanks to Honglu. That was why he hoped that Honglu would help him get rid of He Zu Dao.
Unfortunately, although Honglu helped, he didn't kill He Zu Dao.
This was the real reason why Jiang Chen was sighing.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't mention the bizarre incident of encountering a carp underwater.
"What an old-fashioned trick!!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Honglu couldn't help but sneer.
"Master, don't tell me that all my senior and junior brothers have fallen for this trick?"
Looking at Honglu's reaction, Jiang Chen couldn't tell the truth.
"What do you think?"
As if something sad had been brought up, Honglu looked quite lonely.
"Then, Master, what should I do now?"
Jiang Chen asked Honglu on purpose.
"What should I do?"
"For you, I stepped out of the door that I haven't stepped out of for 20 years."
"And since they let you get close to me, didn't I just openly take you as my disciple?"
Looking at Jiang Chen, Honglu was quite satisfied.
If it weren't for Jiang Chen's letter, this show wouldn't have happened.
Although this show … had a lot of loopholes.
But in Zhang Hong's eyes, these weren't loopholes. Instead, it was the him that he understood.
After all, when he was young, he had been like this.
Arrogant, despotic, and condescending.
"Then, wouldn't I be a spy among spies?"
Jiang Chen's head tilted, and his expression was a little dazed.
"Isn't that good?"
"You have to know who's behind the Shadow Guard."
"You were able to meet the origin under his eyes. How amazing is that?"
Hong Lu smiled, but there wasn't the slightest bit of happiness in his tone.
"Master, you have to at least tell me who your enemy in the sect is."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even know how I'm killed next time."
Jiang Chen looked at Honglu with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, he won't trick you now."
"After all, you're his man now, and he'll only help you."
"Besides, now's not the time."
"When the day comes when you can stand alone and hold up the sky, you'll have the right to know who he is."
When Honglu said "his man", his tone deepened.
