One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

"Why...why!"

boom!

Ma Xianhong slammed his fist heavily onto the cold floor of the Xiushantang.

The specially reinforced bluestone bricks are incredibly hard.

Even last night's violent explosion didn't leave a trace on it, let alone a fist.

Fresh blood dripped down the back of his hand.

Ma Xianhong's face was twitching uncontrollably on one side.

It's not because of pain.

Rather, it was a feeling of powerlessness and extreme fear that spread wildly from the deepest part of one's consciousness to every part of one's body!

"Little brother, you're being naughty."

Although the telescope cannot transmit sound.

But through the images transmitted back by that mechanical single eye, it's not hard to see the woman's lip movements at that time!

That icy gaze, that merciless killing intent…

It was completely different from what I remembered, yet it felt strangely familiar...

For a moment, two faces appeared before Ma Xianhong's eyes.

Even he himself couldn't tell which one was the real "older sister".

"No... my sister probably discovered the clairvoyance a long time ago..."

"That's it, she must have discovered I was spying on her, and in a fit of anger, she attacked Liangzi!"

Ma Xianhong was trembling all over, as if he was trying his best to convince himself.

He gripped his hair tightly, as if possessed, and slammed his head against the wall repeatedly.

"It must be like this...it must be like this!"

"My sister is my only family; she would never lie to me!"

Crimson blood quickly seeped through the white veil on her forehead and trickled down her nose.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he frantically pulled out his phone:

"I need to call my sister... I need to explain things to her!"

Beep beep—

"Feed~"

The call was answered quickly.

Through the receiver came the sound of rushing water, and Qu Tong's soft, yet nonchalant voice.

"elder sister!"

Ma Xianhong's chest heaved violently, his voice hoarse, almost losing its quality.

"I'm sorry... I... I shouldn't have installed the magical artifact on Ryoko..."

"I...I was just worried about his safety, I didn't mean to spy on you..."

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later, Qu Tong finally spoke lazily.

"What? I thought you already knew..."

Qu Tong's voice was muffled, accompanied by the soft sound of flowing water, making it sound as if she was taking a bath.

Ma Xianhong was stunned upon hearing this, his mind going blank:

"What do you know?"

"It's nothing~"

Qu Tong didn't continue the topic, but instead asked softly:

"It's so quiet over there... Looks like it hasn't started yet."

"Xianhong, tell your sister, have you been missing your medication lately?"

Ma Xianhong was a little dizzy from his sister's rambling words.

What do you know?

What hasn't started?

medicine……

correct!

Since Zhou Yan arrived, the cultivation furnace has been smashed and repaired repeatedly, only to explode again after being repaired.

For three days straight, I spent almost all my time in the ruins, my mind preoccupied with how to improve the furnace, and I completely forgot about taking my medicine!

"I...I forgot..."

Ma Xianhong's voice trembled, like a child who had done something wrong.

Have you been having a bad headache lately?

Qu Tong's voice remains as gentle as water:

"Sweetie, you'll feel better if you take your medicine. I bought it for you from overseas at a high price..."

As Ma Xianhong listened, he reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle of blue pills.

However, his hands were shaking so badly.

He was still holding the phone in one hand, and had just taken out the medicine bottle with the other.

With a whoosh!

The transparent glass medicine bottle fell directly to the ground and shattered into pieces!

Blue pills rolled everywhere.

"Medicine...medicine!"

Ma Xianhong threw himself down in front of the broken glass shards, reaching out to grab them.

next second!

Without any warning!

It was as if a blender had been shoved into his brain, running at full speed and blending wildly!

"ah!!!"

Ma Xianhong was in unbearable pain, clutching his head tightly with both hands and letting out a heart-wrenching scream!

At the same time, a series of dim, fragmented images flashed before my eyes...

It appeared to be an abandoned factory.

The light flickered.

My father and brother were all lying in pools of blood, their fates unknown.

Opposite him stood his grandfather, who had lost an arm...

"grandfather!"

Ma Xianhong's expression twisted violently, and two lines of scarlet tears of blood streamed from the corners of his eyes!

He tried desperately to continue recalling.

But the excruciating pain in my mind was like a tidal wave, completely drowning out all the images!

The phone had long since rolled to the side.

Qu Tong's voice came through the receiver again.

Compared to Ma Xianhong's current pain and madness, her voice remained gentle and calm.

"Xianhong, take the medicine, you'll feel better after taking it."

boom!

Just then.

The door to the meditation hall was kicked open from the outside!

Ma Xianhong lay on the ground and suddenly turned his head to look.

Standing outside the door were the same uninvited guests who had arrived during the day...

"you……"

Ma Xianhong roared, snot, blood, tears, and saliva all mixed together:

"Who gave you permission to come to the convalescent hall!"

His bizarre, inhuman appearance startled the temporary workers at the door, who all took a half-step back.

In the corner, the woman on her phone remained calm.

"It seems my brother has something to do. Remember, come to your sister's place when you're done."

"Beep beep beep—"

The phone call was abruptly ended.

"Ma Xianhong, we..."

The clarinet had just started playing.

"roll!!!"

Ma Xianhong, who was lying on the ground, had completely lost his temper!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair!

Hei Guan'er sighed.

He finally understood why Zhou Yan had said that now was the perfect time to smash the furnace...

This village chief, Ma, is practically half-mad!

"Nephew, listen to your uncle..."

Zhang Chulan steeled himself and slowly stepped forward, trying to calm the other person down.

Since the decision has been made, we will only destroy the furnace and not harm anyone.

If possible, he really didn't want to hurt this distant nephew too much.

"We're here to help you, yes, please don't get agitated..."

"My...nephew???"

These three words seem to possess some kind of magic.

Ma Xianhong suddenly looked around blankly, as if searching for something extremely important.

"Zhou Yan...yes, Brother Zhou!"

He suddenly sprang up and shoved Zhang Chulan aside!

"Brother Zhou asked me to send a spy to follow Liangzi... He once said that I was in deep trouble..."

"He must know something! I'm going to ask him!"

Swish-!

Zhang Chulan was pushed to the ground by Ma Xianhong.

However, apart from him, Hei Guan, Wang Zhenqiu, Lao Meng, Xiao Zizai, and Feng Baobao stood firmly in front of Ma Xianhong!

"Get out of the way!!!" Ma Xianhong roared.

"It actually came in handy..."

Hei Guan awkwardly pulled out his phone and showed the screen to Ma Xianhong.

In the photo, Zhou Yan and others are tied up and leaning against a tree.

On his neck, the "closed-element needles" reflected the moonlight.

"Zhou Yan and his men are already under our control; you won't have any outside help."

The clarinet stared at Ma Xianhong, preparing to read the final judgment:

"Ma Xianhong, as long as you obediently come with us, we'll destroy..."

"I'll fucking kill you all!!!"

To the clarinet's surprise.

The moment he saw the photo, the anger in Ma Xianhong's eyes instantly turned into real killing intent!

boom!

Ma Xianhong went on a rampage on the spot!

A surge of energy erupted like a tsunami, forcing the group to retreat repeatedly!

The clarinet covered his eyes, then looked up again...

A layer of black and red 'armor' had already covered Ma Xianhong's arms and chest.

He held a jade-green light blade in his left hand and a huge golden hammer in his right.

Above their heads, a mechanical beast with wings on its back circled around them.

On the other side, a small lion's head floated by, resembling one waved by a lion dancer...

In the blink of an eye, he was armed to the teeth!

"Holy crap! This rich bastard!"

The clarinet exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, he caught a glimpse of the Xiu Shen Hall out of the corner of his eye.

Zhang Chulan, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, was secretly waving at him.

The clarinet player instantly understood...

That bastard wants them to lure Ma Xianhong away so he can take the opportunity to destroy the furnace!

"This idea is too difficult, let's retreat!"

The clarinet roared!

The other four people retreated without hesitation the moment they heard it!

"Ring ring—"

A captivating ringtone suddenly rang out!

The five people who were retreating suddenly froze, their minds going blank for a moment!

Shake the soul bell!

In mid-air, the lion's head, with its wings outstretched, opened its mouth wide, and the surrounding air rippled with visible waves.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling shockwave erupted from the lion's mouth—

Roar! ! !

The violent beam of energy tore through the air and instantly engulfed Lao Meng, who was closest to it!

Ma Xianhong's eyes were icy as he hissed softly at the small bell tied to his wrist.

"All those of superior capacity... come to the Retreat Center!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

Rumble—!

The shockwave dissipated.

The hard bluestone ground was blasted into a scorched crater!

But Old Meng, whose body should have been completely destroyed.

At this moment, however, he is standing perfectly fine in the same spot!

Ma Xianhong stared at him blankly.

Suddenly, a yellowish-brown halo appeared around Old Meng's body!

The halo was incredibly thick, completely blocking that devastating attack!

"A protective artifact?!"

Ma Xianhong's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Old Meng touched the faintly warm jade talisman on his chest, let out a long breath, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Thanks to the company's generosity this time, they upgraded everyone's equipment...

Otherwise, I would have lost my life just now!

Clang—!

A metallic clang rang out beside him.

Feng Baobao brandished the dagger, as thin as a cicada's wing, and slashed at Ma Xianhong's forearm at an extremely strange angle!

pity...

Not to mention that layer of black and red armor.

Feng Baobao's all-out attack failed to break through the opponent's magic weapon's defense!

The magical artifact on the black tube's arm glowed brightly, aimed at Ma Xianhong's forehead:

"Brothers...his magical artifacts are far more powerful than ours...let's finish this quickly!"

"The top students are almost here!"
