Tatata!

The footsteps sounded very heavy on the quiet second floor.

Wang Jiuling walked into the room expressionlessly and immediately noticed the open window.

He twitched his nostrils and sniffed; the lingering scent in the room proved that the person had definitely been there.

Wang Jiuling walked to the middle of the room and looked around.

Above them, Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo had stopped breathing. Hong Lingbo had even closed her eyes, not daring to look down.

Wang Jiuling walked to the window, looked at the footprints, and then focused his gaze on the street below.

Just as Li Mochou was hoping Wang Jiuling would leave quickly, Wang Jiuling suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping across the room before landing on the wardrobe in the corner.

He walked over.

laugh!

He thrust the sword into the wardrobe, pulled it out, thrust it again, and finally opened it.

Seeing that no one was around, he put away his longsword.

"Hmph! You're lucky you ran fast!"

Wang Jiuling's voice drifted over, and then he quickly went out the door and closed it.

Silence returned to the room.

Hong Lingbo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to make a move when Li Mochou grabbed her and held her down.

Li Mochou made a shushing gesture.

After a few breaths, the door opened again, and Wang Jiuling walked in again.

Hong Lingbo was extremely nervous.

A bead of cold sweat slid down her temple, about to fall.

Below is Wang Jiuling.

Hong Lingbo realized what was happening, but it was too late.

Sweat was dripping down.

If this had dripped onto Wang Jiuling, the two of them would have been dead!

In an instant, Hong Lingbo seemed to see Wang Jiuling coldly stabbing the sword into her heart!

Finished!

The next second, that didn't happen.

Li Mochou was a seasoned veteran; she quickly reached out her finger to catch the drop of sweat, preventing it from falling onto Wang Jiuling.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense.

Li Mochou caught a drop of sweat, but Hong Lingbo's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and it was in danger of falling again at any moment.

Hurry up!

Li Mochou looked down at Wang Jiuling and shouted in her heart.

But Wang Jiuling seemed to be doing the opposite of what she wanted, and at this moment his gaze fell on the bed again.

He walked over slowly, channeled his inner energy, and slapped the wooden bed.

boom!

Whoosh!

The old wooden bed couldn't withstand Wang Jiuling's palm strike and collapsed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Dust flew everywhere in the room. Wang Jiuling's true energy surged, and he swept the dust away with a wave of his sleeve, squinting at a pile of rotten wood at his feet.

Finally, he let out a long breath and hummed softly.

"snort!"

Somewhat disappointed, Wang Jiuling left the room and headed downstairs.

"I accidentally damaged a few pieces of furniture. Shopkeeper, how much money do I need?"

Wang Jiuling's voice faded into the distance.

Li Mochou finally breathed a sigh of relief and released her hand from covering Hong Lingbo's mouth.

Hong Lingbo was holding it in so hard that her face turned red. She was panting heavily and wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

Downstairs, Wang Jiuling paid the shopkeeper money and turned to look at Lu Qingdu and the others.

"She ran away, but she can't have gone far, chase her!"

Lu Wushuang was the most eager, and was the first to run out the door, followed by Wang Jiuling and his men.

Upstairs, Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo only dared to jump down from under the roof beams after Wang Jiuling and the others had left the inn some distance away.

Hong Lingbo was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she looked miserable.

"Master! He...he's a monster!"

Li Mochou closed her eyes, exhaled deeply, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Go find some clothes, let's change out of our Taoist robes and get out of here quickly!"

"Cough cough cough!"

"Quick! That thief is too troublesome; he'll probably realize what's happening soon! We need to get out of here!"

This was the first time Hong Lingbo had ever seen his master so afraid of someone that he didn't even dare to wear his Taoist robe.

Sure enough, not long after Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo changed their clothes and left, Wang Jiuling returned.

Looking at the traces left by Li Mochou in the room, Wang Jiuling fell silent, thinking to himself that Li Mochou had indeed been traveling the martial arts world for many years and was quite capable.

Wang Jiuling secretly realized that he and Lu Qingdu were ultimately not fast enough.

After thinking about it, he simply arranged for Lu Qingdu and the others to take Lu Wushuang back to Zhongnan Mountain first.

He went to chase after Li Mochou alone.

"Master Wang! Aren't you coming with us? Besides... I want to kill Li Mochou myself to avenge myself..."

Having just regained his freedom, Lu Wushuang was already feeling quite frustrated about having to go to Quanzhen.

Wang Jiuling shook his head and refused.

"I'll go back, you guys go first."

At this moment, Lu Qingdu, who had been chatting quite congenially with Lu Wushuang along the way, suddenly had a moment of impulsiveness.

"Oh, Miss Lu, why don't you come with us first?"

"Li Mochou is doomed. Our martial uncle is petty; if you offend him, Li Mo..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he realized he had made a mistake, so he quickly covered his mouth and turned around to see Wang Jiuling's dangerous gaze.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Lu Qingdu quickly covered his mouth, inwardly cursing himself for speaking the truth. He then begged for forgiveness.

"When you get back, copy the rules of my Quanzhen Sect a hundred times. If you dare to slack off, you know my temper." Wang Jiuling's voice was calm, and Lu Qingdu was almost in tears.

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!"

Lu Wushuang reluctantly left with Lu Qingdu and the others, but she still lingered over before leaving.

"Master Wang, could you please spare my senior sister Hong Lingbo's life? She..."

Lu Wushuang, looking embarrassed, told Wang Jiuling about how Hong Lingbo had taken the opportunity to help her escape from Li Mochou the day before.

"My senior sister isn't actually that bad..."

Lu Wushuang's words lacked confidence, but Wang Jiuling made no promise.

Wang Jiuling was a man of great principle.

He insisted that Lu Wushuang go to the Quanzhen Sect, partly for protection, but also because of Lu Wushuang's personality.

Along the way, Wang Jiuling also inquired about it indirectly.

Although Lu Wushuang, thanks to Wang Jiuling's intervention, did not become as irritable and prone to cutting off people's ears as in the original story due to her lameness.

But he still picked up some of Li Mochou's traits.

Fortunately, Li Mochou only took Lu Wushuang as her disciple because Lu Wushuang was a member of the Lu family. She was more using Lu Wushuang to take revenge on the Lu family than actually hoping that Lu Wushuang would help her.

Therefore, Lu Wushuang was not taught any martial arts skills. Her fighting skills were rudimentary, and she was only taught by Hong Lingbo in private. Not to mention sending her to kill people everywhere.

She doesn't have that ability either.

Otherwise, Wang Jiuling wouldn't have saved her. Sending her to Quanzhen was also to temper her character and prevent her from going astray.

But Hong Lingbo is different.

Hong Lingbo's martial arts skills were in no way inferior to those of the third-generation disciples of Quanzhen Sect. She had followed Li Mochou for many years and had done countless dirty deeds for her.

Li Mochou accepted her as her disciple for reasons different from those for accepting Lu Wushuang.

It goes without saying that Hong Lingbo has killed many people over the years while following Li Mochou.

Otherwise, given Li Mochou's personality, would she keep Hong Lingbo around? If Li Mochou keeps someone by her side, it must be for a reason.

Whether Hong Lingbo was willing or not, it doesn't change the fact.

Wang Jiuling will not show her any mercy.

After Lu Qingdu and the others left, Wang Jiuling, now free of burdens, resumed his pursuit of Li Mochou.

Li Mochou is in big trouble now.
