A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

A woman dressed in plain clothes lightly landed on a tiled roof using her light-footed skills.

She had a dignified and elegant appearance, a slender figure, but her face was slightly plump, giving her a mature charm.

Guo Fu was overjoyed to see the visitor.

"mother!"

The woman ignored Guo Fu and went straight to Da Wu's side. She was secretly shocked.

"Soul Transfer Technique!"

His eyes gleamed slightly, and he gently patted Wu Dunru's shoulder with his right hand. Wu Dunru immediately snapped out of his daze, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. He felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Looking at the woman before him, he asked in alarm, "Master's wife, what's wrong with me?"

"You've been affected by a soul-shifting spell; your mind has been controlled."

"Soul Transfer Technique?" Guo Fu exclaimed in surprise. No wonder the man's moves seemed somewhat familiar; she had seen her mother use them before.

Upon seeing this dignified woman, Zhang Huai immediately guessed who she was.

He stepped forward and said loudly, "What a brilliant finger-flicking technique! It can even break my Soul-Shifting Technique. You must be Huang Rong, the wife of the famous Hero Guo Jing and the leader of the Beggars' Clan, right? I have long admired your name."

Hearing the voice, Huang Rong turned around and stood opposite Zhang Huai, replying, "Young brother, you have good eyesight. May I ask who you are? Are you going to attack my disciple?"

"Oh? I'll take action? You should ask the people behind you what's going on."

Hearing Zhang Huai's words, Huang Rong turned to look at Guo Fu: "Fu'er, what's going on?"

Guo Fu felt a little guilty, but then she thought that she hadn't done anything, so she immediately straightened her back, stepped forward, took Huang Rong's arm, and said, "Mother, it's not my fault, it's all their fault."

Guo Fu pointed at Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

"This person said he had important matters to discuss with my father, and then addressed my father by his given name. Da Wu and Xiao Wu felt that the other party was disrespectful to their father, so they wanted to teach him a lesson. However, their kung fu was too poor, and they were instead tricked by the other party."

Huang Rong then looked at Da Wu and Xiao Wu, and questioned them sternly, "Is what Fu'er said the truth?"

Da Wu lowered his head in shame, while Xiao Wu, still somewhat unconvinced, tried to argue, "Master's wife, I thought this person was behaving strangely. He wanted to enter the city but didn't have official credentials, and he kept causing trouble at the city gate, which is why we intervened. Besides..."

Huang Rong glanced at Wu Xiuwen, her gaze seemingly gentle, yet carrying an air of authority cultivated from long-term high position.

Wu Xiuwen's heart tightened, but he couldn't bring himself to say the rest of the sentence. He lowered his head and dared not look at him again.

When the surrounding people saw Huang Rong appear, the noise gradually subsided. Everyone knew that the Beggar Clan leader was unparalleled in wisdom and martial arts, and was one of the backbones of Xiangyang City. No one dared to talk about her casually.

Huang Rong withdrew her gaze and turned to Zhang Huai. There was no anger on her face. Instead, she said softly, "Young brother, since you came to see my husband Guo Jing and have important matters to discuss, why didn't you state your name earlier? What's the point of playing tricks on two juniors here?"

Zhang Huai smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, Chief Huang is very capable in governing the area. I have been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long time, and without official credentials, I couldn't even get through the gates of Xiangyang City."

Huang Rong's gaze was fixed on Zhang Huai, pondering his words. After a moment, she said, "With your skills, a mere city wall shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"

Zhang Huai laughed and said, "That's natural, but I came with good intentions, so I can't do anything that crosses the line."

"If you're not going to do anything that crosses the line, why bother taking action?" Huang Rong retorted.

Zhang Huai was startled, not expecting Huang Rong to be so protective of her own.

So he said, "What do you mean by 'attack'? They attacked me first. Were I supposed to just stand there and let them kill me?"

"Of course not, but you used the Soul Transfer Technique to make the two brothers kill each other. The second brother almost lost his life. If I hadn't arrived in time, the fifth brother would probably have lost his life too."

Huang Rong rushed over because a Beggars' Sect disciple informed her that Guo Fu and the others had gotten into a conflict with people at the city gate.

Thinking of his daughter's unruly nature and fearing that she might harm someone's life, he rushed over.

I didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as I arrived. In addition, Zhang Huai used the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual. No matter how you look at it, Zhang Huai doesn't seem like a good person.

Zhang Huai said, "I know what I'm doing. Even if Chief Huang doesn't come, those two won't be in any danger. It'll just be a minor punishment."

Listening to Zhang Huai's words, Huang Rong, with her intelligence, had already figured out most of the situation.

Given Da Wu and Xiao Wu's personalities, they would naturally be the first to attack someone who disrespects their master. With their daughter stirring things up from the sidelines, it would be difficult to avoid a fight.

The young man before her possessed unfathomable martial arts skills. Even though she hadn't directly fought him, breaking Da Wu's Soul Transfer Technique just now, which seemed effortless, actually required a tremendous amount of mental effort.

This shows that the young man has definitely mastered the Soul Transfer Technique to a high degree. As for whether he has practiced other parts of the Nine Yin Manual, he is not sure.

She glanced at the three people behind her and scolded, "I'll deal with you three when we get back."

She then turned to Zhang Huai, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her tone softened: "Young brother, your martial arts are superb, and you are also calm and composed. I imagine you are not someone who makes trouble unreasonably. Since you have important matters to discuss with my husband, why don't you come with me into the manor to talk in detail? There are too many people and too many eyes at the city gate. If we argue like this, we will only make a fool of ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huai nodded slightly, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Since Chief Huang has invited me, I will certainly comply. However, I have offended you earlier, and I hope the Chief will not take offense."

His tone was humble, without a trace of servility, and his voice was calm, completely different from the cunning he had shown when he was teasing Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, Huang Rong was even more surprised. This young man was so composed and his martial arts skills and demeanor were both top-notch, which made her increasingly curious about his purpose and origin.

She said no more, turned to Da Wu and Xiao Wu and said in a deep voice, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things and come back to the manor with me. I will settle accounts with you later for what happened today."

Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen blushed deeply, overwhelmed with embarrassment. They quickly picked up the longsword from the ground and followed Huang Rong with their heads down.

Guo Fu looked at the man in front of her with some curiosity. Upon closer inspection, she found him to be a man of elegant manners. Although he was not as handsome as Yang Guo, he was still quite a good-looking man.

She wanted to ask him about Yang Guo, but with her mother nearby, she dared not say another word and simply followed him closely.

Zhang Huai followed slowly beside Huang Rong. When he saw Guo Fu casting a curious glance at him, he smiled and nodded in response.

Huang Rong, walking ahead, appeared to be walking with ease, but occasionally she would keep an eye on Zhang Huai's movements out of the corner of her eye.
