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

Late at night, the entire Li residence had fallen silent.

Inside the room, Yang Guo had already fallen asleep, while Wang Jiuling remained seated on the bed.

Suddenly, Yang Guo was patted on the shoulder while he was half asleep. He opened his eyes and found Wang Jiuling standing next to him.

"Master..." Yang Guo had just opened his mouth when Wang Jiuling made a "shh" gesture at him.

Then he was signaled to follow.

Once outside, the two servants in the courtyard had long since succumbed to sleepiness and had gone off to rest somewhere.

Wang Jiuling grabbed Yang Guo by the collar and jumped over the wall into the courtyard, heading towards the backyard.

In ancient times, women in these types of houses would only stay in the backyard.

Wang Jiuling grabbed Yang Guo and, in a few swift movements, slipped into the backyard, then hid behind a tree in the corner.

This area offers a view of most of the backyard.

"Just wait, that lecherous thief is probably here soon!"

Yang Guo, holding the two swords in his hands, unwrapped the cloth covering them.

The cold air dispelled his sleepiness.

A short while later, Wang Jiuling heard a noise.

He cultivated the Innate Skill, which gave him excellent hearing. He carefully discerned that it was the sound of someone stepping on the roof tiles.

"They're here!"

Wang Jiuling whispered a reminder to Yang Guo, who quickly peeked into the courtyard.

A dark figure lightly landed on the ground from the rooftop and walked towards the innermost room.

Inside the room, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old sat alone on the bed, her face covered in tears and her eyes red and swollen from crying.

It was Miss Li.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. The girl looked up in fright and saw a dark figure walk in and close the door.

"Hehe! It seems the pretty girl has been waiting for me for quite some time; the door wasn't even locked..."

The man took out a tinderbox, lit the candles in the room, and revealed a lewd face.

He has a wide face, small eyes, and two large moles on his face.

This person was none other than the "flower-seeking traveler who traveled a thousand miles to find fragrance."

When Miss Li saw this ugly lecher, she almost fainted from fright.

She didn't scream, because her father had already cleared out the backyard.

Yes, the only solution the Li family can offer now is to sacrifice her.

Seeing Miss Li's terrified expression, the Flower Guest's smile became even more lewd, and he pounced on her directly.

Just then, a loud crash was heard from the wooden door, which was then kicked open.

Then, a figure in green robes flashed into the room with incredible speed, his sword aimed straight at the back of the Flower Guest.

Hua Jianke's expression changed. Without turning around, he spun around to dodge, letting the newcomer's sword pierce towards Miss Li.

But the other person reacted just as quickly, changing his sword stance and sweeping across the battlefield. The Flower Guest retreated again to dodge the attack.

The two were separated by Miss Li, forming a standoff.

The candlelight flickered, then gradually stabilized, revealing that the person was indeed Wang Jiuling.

At this moment, he held a green sword in his hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, coldly staring at the Flower Guest.

The flower-loving guest's facial muscles twitched, and he squinted at the newcomer.

Yang Guo ran in from outside the door.

"Master!!"

Wang Jiuling stared at the Flower Guest without turning around. "Take Miss Li out!"

Yang Guo snapped out of his daze, ran in, and reached out to touch the stunned Miss Li.

"Hey! Come with me!"

Hua Jianke ignored Yang Guo and stared intently at Wang Jiuling.

"Your swordsmanship is incredibly fast!"

Wang Jiuling sized up the man. "Your movement technique is quite extraordinary!"

"But your footwork in those nimble movements doesn't resemble my Central Plains style..."

A smile appeared on the face of the flower-viewer.

"Want to know the answer? Try beating me!"

The man reached into his waistband and pulled out a long, soft whip, which he then lashed out at Wang Jiuling.

The soft whip stirred up a gust of wind, causing the candlelight in the room to flicker. Wang Jiuling drew his sword and began his attack with the Dingyang Needle technique from the Quanzhen Swordplay.

The two exchanged several moves in a short time, then shifted from probing each other to turning defense into offense.

Wang Jiuling, however, became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

That lecherous thief has amazing martial arts skills!

Wang Jiuling's true strength is now probably close to that of a top-tier martial arts master.

After all, he was capable of going toe-to-toe with Huo Du back then.

Wang Jiuling was completely helpless against the lecherous thief in front of him.

These are no ordinary bandits; they must be someone of great importance!

Wang Jiuling brought the Quanzhen Swordplay to its extreme. In the confined space of the room, his "vast expanse of waves" transformed into a dense array of sword shadows, constantly sealing off Huajianke's body.

The Flower Guest's movements were incredibly unpredictable, dodging everything with every step.

Outside, Yang Guo led Miss Li out to call for help, and the Li residence was lit up with fire.

During the fight, taking advantage of the change in their positions, the Flower Guest slipped out through the open doorway, with Wang Jiuling in hot pursuit.

Yang Guo peeked out from outside the courtyard and saw this scene.

Wang Jiuling chased Huajianke into the courtyard. Huajianke turned around, sneered, and slapped Wang Jiuling with his palm.

"Master, be careful!" Yang Guo warned in alarm.

Wang Jiuling naturally realized what was happening. He channeled his innate true energy and struck out with his palm as well.

Instantly, their internal energies clashed, and powerful fluctuations of true energy rippled through the air.

The terrifyingly loud noise startled the entire Li family.

"Huh? Such powerful internal energy!"

Taking advantage of the situation, the traveler leaped into the air, exclaiming in surprise, and quickly landed on the rooftop, disappearing into the darkness.

"Hahaha! I'm busy today, so I won't play along! I'll definitely pay you a visit another day!"

"Master! Hurry and chase after them!" Yang Guo shouted anxiously as he ran over.

Wang Jiuling, however, had a solemn expression. He looked in the direction where the Flower Guest had left, then looked down at his own palm and squinted.

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy! Be careful, he might use a diversionary tactic to lure you away and then launch a surprise attack!"

At that moment, Master Li and his men rushed over, looking at Wang Jiuling in surprise.

"Master! That..."

"That's the Flower Guest! But he's already run away!" Wang Jiuling frowned.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Master Li turned pale on the spot and nearly fainted.

After being helped up by the servants, he sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"It's over! Everything is over!"

"Taoist Master!! I told you not to interfere! But you insisted on interfering!"

Now that the lecherous thief has escaped, what will we do if he comes back to kill us in revenge someday?

Yang Guo was furious when he saw this.

"Hey! Don't you have any conscience? My master is saving your daughter!"

You are utterly heartless! Don't think I can't see through you! There's no one else in your backyard except your daughter! You're simply planning to sell your daughter for the safety of your Li family!

"You even sold your own daughter! Bah! You're not human!"

Master Li was on the verge of collapse.

"Do you think I want this? Do you think I'm willing to do this?"

Miss Li knelt before Wang Jiuling, weeping, and kowtowed to thank her benefactor.

"Thank you both for saving my life, but this has nothing to do with my father. I volunteered to sacrifice myself to protect the Li family!"

Li Yuanwai's wife was also crying her eyes out.

Looking at this family, Yang Guo felt that they were noisy, disruptive, and annoying.

Wang Jiuling, standing to the side, remained silent, his mind already in turmoil.

That fellow in the flower garden is probably far stronger than him, and is clearly deliberately letting him win!
