"One of the Eight Altar Leaders?" Lu Yurong frowned. "What is the Altar Leader doing here? Are you here for the Ren Public House? "
Hou Jingzong said in a low voice, "What I'm here for is none of your business!"
Lu Yurong said, "This is within the borders of the Public House. The Public House needs to know every master who comes here. The Holy Church of Light is sneaking around. Which faction are you going to deal with and which faction are you trying to steal the secret manual from?"
Hou Jingzong's expression did not change but his heart sank.
The stealing of the secret manual was a top secret. Only the patrol knew about it. The rest of the Holy Church's masters did not know about the target. They were only acting on the patrol's orders, so this was a top secret.
This time, the patrol did not perform well and lost a few Grandmasters. He was ordered to investigate to see if it was the patrol's fault.
Now it seemed that the stealing of the secret manual was leaked!
Lu Yurong smiled. "Does Altar Leader Hou think that this is a secret and no one knows about it?"
"That's right!" Hou Jingzong scoffed.
He wanted to find out if it was the patrol's problem or if there was another reason.
Lu Yurong said, "Your Great Light Scripture combined into one, and your ambition grew. You want to train more Enlightened Masters. I know what you're trying to do. You're proficient in all martial arts and perfect your cultivation. It's a very simple deduction. Plus, you've attacked Crouching Bull Mountain's Snow Lunar Pavilion. Based on your reaction just now, I can confirm that you're indeed stealing the secret manual."
Hou Jingzong's face darkened.
He didn't expect that he would actually fall into a trap. His heart was stolen by this little girl's words, causing him to lose his cool. As a result, he was seen through and confirmed his conjecture.
She was just bluffing him!
He was embarrassed and angry. He was one of the Eight Altar Leaders, but he was fooled by a little girl. It was embarrassing!
Lu Yurong said, "Altar Leader Hou is angry and wants to fight, right?"
Hou Jingzong laughed coldly. "You're so young, yet you're scheming. You're digging your own grave. Today, I'll send you to hell!"
"Are you going to send me to hell, or should I send you to hell?" Lu Yurong shook her head. "Come out!"
"Yes, Lady!" Eight black-clothed men floated in and entered the hall, blocking the windows and the entrance.
Fang Jing's face changed slightly. He scolded himself for not being decisive. It was not easy to get out now.
He could not help but look at Ji Ruyu. Ji Ruyu revealed a resolute expression.
"Junior Sister Ji, don't worry. Master will find a way to get us out!" Fang Jing whispered.
Ji Ruyu sighed faintly, "Even if we can get out, we won't be able to escape from being hunted down. There are too many of them!"
"Master will have a way!" Fang Jing said.
Lu Yurong said, "Altar Leader Hou's martial arts are profound, but even if you can defeat me, how many Grandmasters can you defeat? The remaining four Grandmasters should be more than enough to deal with Ji Ruyu and the rest, right? So, it's better not to make a move. … Let Ji Ruyu commit suicide, and we won't pursue the matter of the Holy Church of Light sneaking into Green Mountain City anymore. Otherwise, all of you will die together! "
Hou Jingzong was even more certain that Ji Ruyu had obtained top-secret information and that the Ren Public House would definitely kill her.
The more this was the case, the more he could not let Ji Ruyu die. If he could bring her back to the Saint, he would be rewarded greatly.
The eight men in black were all Grandmasters. Hou Jingzong sized them up and his face became even more gloomy. He looked at Fang Jing.
Fang Jing looked at his master's face and knew what he wanted to do. He smiled bitterly in his heart but nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.
Lu Yurong said, "You won't shed a tear until you see your coffin. Since Altar Leader Hou wants to try, then I'll have to offend you!"
She pressed her palm down lightly.
Hou Jingzong waved his palm and struck.
"Bang!" A strong wind surged. Lu Yurong's white robe fluttered as she flew away with the wind. The white veil covering her face swayed slightly.
She shook her head, "Altar Leader Hou, you're no match for us. Everyone, let's attack together!"
"Yes!" The eight men responded. Four of them pounced on Hou Jingzong while the other four blocked the exit.
"Bang bang bang bang …" Lu Yurong's lily-white hands slapped a few times as if it was child's play. Palm energy gushed out in an instant. Hou Jingzong either dodged or blocked it.
The four Grandmasters were not just for show. Even if their cultivation level was lower than his, their close combat attacks were enough to kill him.
Hou Jingzong was able to handle the four Grandmasters' attacks with ease. However, he was extremely wary of Lu Yurong's palm energy. Her palm energy was strange. It was firm and cold, which would slow him down.
In a battle between masters, a slight delay could mean life or death.
Fang Jing unsheathed his sword. A cold light shone down as he attacked the other four Grandmasters.
Ji Ruyu stood at the side without moving.
Hou Jingzong realized that he had underestimated the Ren Public House, especially Lu Yurong. He did not expect her to have the highest cultivation level despite being the youngest. Especially her strange inner energy, it was truly terrifying.
If he did not cultivate the Scripture of Great Light, he would have frozen to death. Even so, his movements were getting slower and slower. He needed more time to think about how to deal with her palm energy. If he had known this would happen, he would not have been careless and would have killed her immediately.
Unfortunately, he was worried about her identity and slowed down. Hence, he missed the opportunity. It was not easy to kill her now.
"Whoosh!" He suddenly flashed out of the four people's encirclement and punched Lu Yurong.
Lu Yurong lightly stepped sideways and avoided the punch.
"Boom!" A clear fist mark appeared on the wall. It was three inches deep.
Hou Jingzong was secretly angry. This little girl was really cunning. She did not take his charged attack head-on. It was obvious that she noticed something was wrong.
Lu Yurong suddenly moved and shot towards Ji Ruyu.
"Bang!" Hou Jingzong blocked in front of her.
Lu Yurong said, "Does Altar Leader Hou really think you can protect her?"
"With me here, you can't kill her!" Hou Jingzong said in a low voice.
"Then I'd like to see! You want to take her away and leave your disciple behind?" Lu Yurong said.
Hou Jingzong laughed coldly. "Nonsense!"
He was secretly shocked.
Lu Yurong's intelligence was indeed worthy of her reputation. With just a glance, she actually noticed and guessed his thoughts. A woman with such intelligence was really scary. She had the elegance of a Saint!
"Ji Ruyu must die today. All of you must die too!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
"Such arrogance!" Hou Jingzong said coldly. "With just you guys, you want to keep me here? What a joke! "
"What if there's someone else? Chu Li, it's your turn!" Lu Yurong laughed softly.
"Coming!" A clear voice was heard. A white shadow suddenly flashed before Hou Jingzong's eyes. His body suddenly tensed up and his inner energy flowed faster. He shouted, "Be careful!"
Chu Li appeared behind Ji Ruyu. He smiled and lightly patted her back.
"Pop!" A crisp sound was heard. It was like a pebble was thrown into a deep well.
Ji Ruyu's eyes suddenly widened. The light in her eyes was instantly extinguished. It was as if her bones were removed from her body. She fell limply to the ground, motionless.
Chu Li slowly retracted his right palm and smiled. "Fortunately, I didn't fail you!"
