One of his attendants cried out in alarm and rushed forward to check on his condition.

A moment later, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Brother Bao's injuries are serious; he will need at least a year to recover."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu's face darkened.

His four chief retainers were all people he relied on highly, and were loyal and reliable.

Bao Butong is currently seriously injured, as if he has lost an arm!

What's even more astonishing is that golden light was flowing around the monk...

Could it be a protective aura?

Could it be that he has already reached the level of a grandmaster?

Murong Fu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

This young monk is actually a grandmaster?

But upon closer inspection, something seemed amiss.

The protective aura shouldn't look like this.

After a moment's thought, Murong Fu came to his senses and his mind gradually calmed down.

It's good that he's not a grandmaster.

With his late-stage Innate Realm cultivation and the unique skill "Star Shift," he was invincible below the Grandmaster level!

He stared at Fahai, his eyes growing colder.

"I am Murong Fu from Gusu. May I ask who you are, esteemed sir?"

"It was just a verbal dispute between us, why resort to such violence?"

"Murong Fu?"

The fight inside the inn had already attracted everyone's attention, and when they heard the man introduce himself, everyone was in an uproar.

It was none other than Murong Fu, who was as famous as Qiao Feng of the North!

The 20th most renowned master on the Innate Ranking!

Who is that monk? How dare he clash with Murong Fu and even injure his retainer!

It seems this matter is unlikely to end well.

Upon hearing Murong Fu's name, Xu Zhu's heart tightened, and his face was filled with anxiety.

Sure enough, it really was Murong from Gusu.

What should we do now that our senior brother Fahai has offended such a being?

Murong Fu's strength far surpasses that of Fahai.

Fahai, however, remained calm and showed no fear.

So what if he's Murong Fu? He's just famous.

He claimed it was just a verbal dispute, but when Bao Butong made his move just now, he almost kept him bedridden for half a year.

Since that's the case, Fahai naturally has to retaliate with even greater force, leaving him bedridden for a year.

He sneered and said, "It's just teaching him a lesson. If you don't have the ability, don't come out and show off."

"Otherwise, this is the outcome."

Fahai's gaze was sharp as he stared directly at Murong Fu, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

The phrase is a double entendre, referring both to Bao Butong and subtly mocking Murong Fu.

Murong Fu was instantly enraged.

"I could tolerate your insults, but how dare you harm my loyal servant!"

"As the head of this family, I must seek justice for my subordinates today!"

These words drew cheers from the innkeepers.

"Such a protective master is truly rare."

"As expected of Murong of the South."

The other retainers were deeply moved and wished they could go through fire and water for Murong Fu.

Fahai smirked, his expression full of sarcasm.

Clearly, he couldn't swallow the insult and wanted to cause trouble, yet he had to put on a high-sounding front, claiming it was to stand up for his retainers and to avoid damaging his reputation.

It's utterly hypocritical.

Murong Fu in the novel is just like that; on the surface, he appears virtuous and respectable, but inside he is full of scheming. The more the story progresses, the more thoroughly his insidious nature is exposed.

The situation is the same now, especially in the face of the Buddhist "telepathy," Murong Fu's thoughts and ideas are revealed without any concealment.

Deep down, they wanted to tear the other person to pieces, simply because their resentment was unbearable.

However, fearing it would damage the reputation of the Murong family of Gusu, they sought another excuse to try to conceal their true intentions.

This way, one can establish an image of righteousness and also take the opportunity to vent one's anger.

Murong Fu, Murong Fu, although you are a two-faced person, your strategic acumen is truly astonishing.

Since that's the case, then I'll have to use my fists to expose your true colors.

Your biggest weakness is your lack of self-awareness.

Do you also want to teach this humble monk a lesson?

Ah.

"If you want to take action, then take action. Why bother with words?"

"But do you even have the qualifications?"

Fahai glanced up and down at Murong Fu and said in a cold tone.

"No."

These words caused an uproar in the inn, with everyone showing expressions of shock.

How dare this monk be so arrogant?

That's Murong Fu!

A master of the late stage of the Innate Realm!

A being ranked twentieth on the Innate Ranking!

The noble young master of the Murong family, with profound heritage, is renowned throughout the world for his mastery of the art of shifting stars and changing constellations!

How could an unknown nobody possibly be a match for Murong Nan?

This monk is probably ignorant of his own limitations and is courting death.

The crowd was skeptical and cast disdainful glances their way.

He's such a big talker.

"Brother Fahai, how about... we admit our mistake?"

The surrounding discussions made Xu Zhu somewhat uneasy.

Although Senior Brother Fahai is powerful, his opponent is none other than the renowned Murong of Gusu.

Who is Murong of Gusu?

Top-tier experts ranked in the top twenty of the Innate Ranking!

His ranking is much higher than that of his senior brother Fahai.

Xu Zhu was truly unsure of himself to confront such a powerful figure rashly.

"Fahai?"

Upon hearing this name, a well-informed guest was suddenly startled.

"So it's him?"

Since the update of the Innate Ranking, Fahai's name has spread throughout the martial arts world.

Many martial arts practitioners have heard of his deeds.

"Is that Fahai, the one who defeated Zhaixingzi in one move and ranked among the top 100 on the Innate Ranking?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around him immediately changed.

I originally thought that the little monk had only brought shame upon himself.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a ruthless character!

To be able to enter the top 100 right after being listed is also a testament to exceptionally talented young geniuses!

No wonder he dared to challenge Murong Fu.

Therefore, this competition is unlikely to be as one-sided as imagined.

It might actually be a close contest.

The onlookers immediately became interested.

Will the up-and-coming expert prevail, or will the veteran prove superior? It's something to look forward to.

Murong Fu himself was also taken aback.

So he's a top 100 expert on the Innate Ranking. No wonder he's so arrogant.

They completely disregarded me.

However, a mere hundred people were not worth Murong Fu's attention.

According to them, this little monk is actually a child prodigy?

That's perfect, the more talented the better.

This little monk is ranked one hundredth on the Innate Ranking, and the gap between him and him is huge. He may not be able to beat him.
