The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

When Wang Jiuling saw those bloody handprints, he knew he was caught up in the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

He was a time traveler and knew what was going to happen. If he turned away now, he could easily avoid this calamity.

However, his master valued Lu Liding's kindness very much. Before he went down the mountain, he repeatedly told Lu Liding that he must come and that if he needed anything, he should do his best to help.

Lu Liding understood that Wang Jiuling had probably figured something out, and he looked up at Cheng Ying.

"Ying'er, go and urge the kitchen to hurry up!"

Cheng Ying, being sensible, immediately nodded and left. Lu Liding coughed twice to shoo away Lu Wushuang, who was eavesdropping at the door, before speaking to Wang Jiuling with a melancholy expression.

It was probably what Wang Jiuling knew—that Li Mochou had come seeking revenge.

"It is said that Li Mochou would leave a bloody handprint before killing someone, and each bloody handprint was used to kill one person!"

We'll arrive no later than the next day, and at the earliest that evening!

Lu Liding was extremely distressed, and he could no longer remain calm when talking about this matter.

Wang Jiuling frowned upon hearing this, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Uncle! This nephew has come on behalf of my master to pay his respects! Since the Lu family is facing this calamity, this nephew is willing to offer advice and contribute his share!"

Lu Liding smiled wryly. He looked at Wang Jiuling and felt that Wang Jiuling was just young and impetuous.

"I appreciate Master Wang's kind intentions!"

"But that Scarlet Serpent Fairy is highly skilled in martial arts and difficult to deal with. How could I possibly implicate you? If you encounter danger because of me, how can I explain it to Master Wang?"

"Please don't blame me for my poor hospitality, Daoist Master. The situation is truly exceptional. After we finish our meal, please leave the Lu family as soon as possible before nightfall!"

Lu Liding then told Wang Jiuling that someone was willing to help them.

One was Wu Sanniang, who came here to find her husband Wu Santong, and the other was a hero who, upon hearing of the matter, was willing to help.

Or perhaps it's the old man—the flying bat Ke Zhen'e.

"We'd known this day would come..."

"Master Ke has promised to arrive at the Lu residence before nightfall!"

That demon is highly skilled in martial arts; we can run for a while, but not forever!

Why not take advantage of Master Ke's help and give it a shot!

Lu Liding shook his head as he explained, his heart filled with mixed feelings, caught in a dilemma.

Isn't he afraid? Of course he is! But what can he do?

How can he, as the younger brother, shirk the responsibility that his older brother Lu Zhanyuan owed?

Moreover, given Li Mochou's martial arts skills, he simply had no way to avoid it.

However, Wang Jiuling was not particularly interested in Lu Liding's so-called "helpers".

Wu Sanniang, needless to say, has mediocre martial arts skills.

Then there's Ke Zhen'e, the flying bat.

Wang Jiuling acknowledged that Master Ke was benevolent and chivalrous, and that if chivalry could be used as martial arts, Master Ke would definitely be a force to be reckoned with, surpassing the Five Greats and sweeping across the world.

Unfortunately not.

That old blind man was only tougher on the talk than Li Mochou; he couldn't beat her in a fight...

Wang Jiuling was at a loss for words.

In terms of martial arts, if he were to face Li Mochou now, he would be doomed. Lu Liding was right about one thing.

That woman's reputation was earned through sheer brutality.

Wang Jiuling was also somewhat troubled, unsure whether to leave or stay. In the original story, Li Mochou probably arrived at the Lu residence after dark or in the early morning.

There's not enough time...

Before long, Wu San Niang arrived at the Lu family with her two sons, and everyone had a meal together.

When Wu Sanniang first heard that the Quanzhen Sect had arrived, she thought they would have helpers, but she was somewhat disappointed when she saw Wang Jiuling's age.

After the meal, it was still early. Seeing that Wang Jiuling had no intention of leaving, Lu Liding didn't want to force him, so he hastily arranged for Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang to take him for a stroll around the Lu residence.

He was in a hurry to discuss with Lu Erniang and Wu Sanniang how to deal with Li Mochou.

In the garden, Lu Wushuang chattered incessantly, asking Wang Jiuling all sorts of questions about the Quanzhen Sect, and even wanting to play with Wang Jiuling's sword.

Carefree and oblivious, before long, he went off to catch butterflies on his own.

Wang Jiuling sat in the pavilion, watching the lively Lu Wushuang. The girl was innocent and naive, completely unaware of the oppressive atmosphere in the Lu residence.

Cheng Ying, sitting opposite Wang Jiuling, remained silent, but her eyes conveyed a message to him:

She sensed something was wrong.

"Master Wang..."

Suddenly, Cheng Ying called out to Wang Jiuling.

"Hmm?" Wang Jiuling looked up, and even Cheng Ying pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Master Wang, is something bad about Lu Family Village?"

"I overheard my uncle and his family talking..."

Xiao Chengying finally voiced her doubts, but she asked Wang Jiuling, an outsider, instead of Lu Liding and Lu Erniang.

Wang Jiuling blinked, but before he could say anything, Cheng Ying spoke again:

"Master, you're from the Quanzhen Sect. I know it's a prestigious and righteous sect. Are you here to help the Lu Family Village?"

This time, Wang Jiuling nodded directly. He really didn't intend to stand idly by. Even knowing that his martial arts skills were insufficient, he would still do his best.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Cheng Ying stopped talking.

Looking at Cheng Ying in front of him, Wang Jiuling frowned.

A direct confrontation? That would be suicidal. Even if Wang Jiuling, or even his master Wang Chuyi, came, they might not be able to gain any advantage against Li Mochou.

Or should we just ignore it and wait for the original story to unfold?

But when Wang Jiuling looked at Cheng Ying in front of him, he felt it was inappropriate.

What if my arrival changes the plot?

Moreover, if we just sit idly by and do nothing, how will we explain it to our master when we get back?

Thinking of this, Wang Jiuling got up and prepared to go find Lu Liding.

Unexpectedly, Lu Liding contacted him first.

It turns out that when Lu Liding, Wu Sanniang, and Lu Erniang were discussing the matter, they knew that time was running out, so they decided that the adults would stay behind to deal with Li Mochou, and then send the children away first.

Da Wu, Xiao Wu, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang.

Originally, this matter was to be entirely entrusted to the servants of the Lu family, but Wang Jiuling's arrival changed Lu Liding's mind.

Lu Liding would never allow Wang Jiuling to risk staying in the Lu residence, so he simply asked Wang Jiuling to help take Cheng Ying away.

This will also reduce the stress on everyone.

"I, as the younger brother, must repay my elder brother's debts no matter what!"

"But Ying'er is innocent! As her uncle, I have to let her live!"

Lu Liding grabbed Wang Jiuling's hand and almost knelt down before him.

"Nephew! I know Master Wang's abilities. You are his personal disciple, so your skills must be quite good as well!"

"Your uncle doesn't ask you to stay, but he begs you to consider the friendship between your uncle and Master Wang and leave with Ying'er immediately!"

In the hall, Lu Wushuang watched with tears streaming down her face as Cheng Ying was led by Lu Liding to Wang Jiuling. She herself was told to leave the Lu residence with the servants.

Cheng Ying's eyes also reddened, and she held back her tears, standing obediently beside Wang Jiuling.

Lu Liding had no choice. Wang Jiuling clearly knew martial arts and was definitely more reliable than the servants in the Lu family who didn't know martial arts. But he was just a boy after all, and could only take one with him.

Lu Liding still hardened his heart and handed Cheng Ying over to Wang Jiuling instead of Lu Wushuang.

Moreover, Wang Jiuling was a top disciple of Wang Chuyi. He brought Cheng Ying with him, and perhaps Li Mochou would release Cheng Ying out of fear of the Quanzhen Sect.

This is the best solution at present.

Seeing this, Wang Jiuling had no choice but to accept the situation, knowing that time was running out. He was never one to dawdle, so he nodded deeply.

"If Uncle is willing to trust me, I will certainly protect Miss Cheng!"

Lu Liding nodded and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

This was the love token that Li Mochou gave to Lu Zhanyuan. If he were to carry this handkerchief and encounter Li Mochou, perhaps she would show him mercy?

He hesitated for a long time, but still gave it to Cheng Ying.

Lu Liding kept his promise; he had promised Cheng Ying's parents that he would take care of Cheng Ying, and he did not want to break his word.

"Keep this handkerchief with you; it might save your life in a pinch!"

Lu Liding's favoritism made Lu Erniang cry. She scolded him for only caring about his niece and not his own daughter. In the end, Cheng Ying took the initiative to suggest tearing the handkerchief into two pieces.

Things have developed too quickly. Not long ago, Wang Jiuling was visiting and we had a meal together. I never expected that we would have to run for our lives.

"Wushuang! You stay with A'gen, and don't be spoiled or willful on the road! Understand?"

"Ying'er! You've always been sensible. Follow Master Wang, and go as far as you can!"

Just as everyone was preparing to split up, a burst of laughter came from afar, followed by a chilling sneer!

"What? You know your Lu family is ungrateful and owes me, so now you want to run away?!"

The men's expressions changed; they knew whose voice it was without even thinking!

Li Mochou!

Wang Jiuling also felt a chill run down his spine.

He remembered that in the original story, Li Mochou was supposed to arrive in the middle of the night, right?

It's ahead of schedule?
