Chapter 212

Almost the instant Lu Rong finished speaking, the man raised his sword and brought it down. Lu Rong could only feel a blur before his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his left shoulder!
"Ah—my hand!"

His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and the blood-stained hand rolled on the ground, leaving a trail of crimson blood.

Lu Rong's knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony. The man's sword, falling again towards his neck, jolted him awake. "I still have money! No, don't do it..."

……

In Ziye City, Hua Yan's expression changed as she was in Jingrong Shop.

She received a telepathic message from Lu Rong, who was panting and urging her to set off immediately to rescue him outside Jinyang City.

In the telepathic message, Lu Rong didn't say much, only that he was fleeing for his life and was seriously injured, and asked her to bring medicine to meet him.

Why is that? Wasn't he supposed to be attending an auction?

Could it be that they made an enemy there and were ambushed?
Hua Yan knew Lu Rong's personality very well; he was arrogant and easily made enemies.

This made Hua Yan somewhat resentful: It's one thing for you to show off your power in the city, but why don't you know how to restrain yourself in Jinyang City!

However, she couldn't ignore her husband, so Hua Yan made sure to bring extra medicinal herbs from the shop before rushing off to Jinyang City.

When she arrived outside the city, she saw Lu Rong sitting against a big tree, clutching his left shoulder in pain. His eyes lit up when he saw her.

"Lu Rong! What happened to you? Where is your left arm?" Hua Yan exclaimed in shock. She ran over and knelt down to check on him.

"Be careful—" Lu Rong only managed to say those two words before Hua Yan felt something cool on her neck.

"They seem to have a deep love for each other, Lu Rong. You're quite lucky."

The man chuckled and snatched Hua Yan's Qiankun bag.

Hua Yan's expression changed drastically. "What's going on? Lu Rong!"

Lu Rong sent me here to deliver medicine to heal his injuries, so why are there still villains here?!

Why didn't he explain this beforehand? Isn't he just watching me come here to my death?
Lu Rong averted his gaze, not daring to look at her.

"Erase the marks, or I'll kill you all," the man said calmly.

Hua Yan was filled with hatred. She looked around and began to consider her chances of escaping.

It's hateful that all my belongings are in the Qiankun Bag, which has already fallen into enemy hands; otherwise, I could have taken some talismans to escape.

Hua Yan realized with despair that she had no way to escape.

Since getting married, her life has revolved around Lu Rong and the shop, and sometimes she has to deal with the Lu family's criticism and dissatisfaction.

As for cultivation, she had long since given up on it. In any case, she believed that she had no hope of cultivating in this life, so she might as well save her time and use it to enjoy life.

However, when danger struck, she realized that men, shops, and even the Qiankun bag were all external things; only her own strength was the most important.

If she were given another chance, she would definitely seize all the resources around her and focus solely on improving her own strength, instead of being bullied like this with no way to fight back.

She closed her eyes, then resignedly erased her mark from the Qiankun bag.

As a result, all the money she had secretly hidden away and the things she had bought over the years were gone.

Lu Rong also felt a pang of heartache.

Hua Yan's things belong to him, but now, he's given away both of his Qiankun bags to someone else!
I just hope this person will really let them go, so I can have a chance to start over!

"Come on!"

He winked at Hua Yan and then got up to leave.

But as soon as Hua Yan moved, the man's sword came crashing down again.

This scene left the two of them somewhat devastated. "Didn't you say you'd let us leave?" "It's not over yet, don't rush me." The man smiled and took out a stone. "Tell me how you tricked the Immortal Sect into giving you Jingrong General Store."

The two were taken aback for a moment, then they understood.

"You, you're from the Immortal Sect!"

Only then did the man wipe his face, revealing his true appearance.

It was none other than Liu Feng!

Liu Feng used a disguise pill that allowed him to transform into that person's appearance from head to toe.

To transform, there must be a reference point; that is, you cannot fabricate an appearance and then transform. The person being transformed must be a real person whom the person has seen.

So Liu Feng became Ling Qing, because Ling Qing rarely went out, and Lu Rong and the other person did not recognize him.

"Liu Feng!"

Lu Rong gritted his teeth.

Liu Feng is no longer the old man he used to be, and he naturally knew this, because he had been paying close attention to the situation of the Immortal Sect.

"We're here too!"

Chen Lan, carrying Mo Jiuwei, followed by Du Yueji and the others, appeared in front of Lu Rong and his wife.

Lu Rong's face turned pale, then he gave a bitter smile.

Now, Lu Rong understands everything.

From the very beginning with the Breakthrough Pill, this whole thing was a conspiracy.

What about Joe Black, what about cooperation? It was all just for this moment.

"It's quite something that you've gone through all this trouble," he said with a sneer.

Knowing he was doomed to die, and that pleading would be futile, he simply skipped that step.

"If we didn't beat around the bush, how could we have won you over so easily?" Du Yue rolled her eyes.

Their original plan was to torment Lu Rong a little more.

For example, let him sell pills a few times first, then his ambition will explode, and the number of pills he buys will increase from a few to hundreds.

Several hundred pills would be an astronomical price, and Lu Rong alone definitely couldn't afford it. In the end, not only would he be able to get Jing Rong back, but he could also extract a large sum of money from the Lu family.

Mo Jiuwei felt that doing this was too complicated and not worth it for such a small amount of money; it would be better to finish quickly.

Yes, it's just a small amount of money.

Having already seized the Qi family's assets, they no longer consider the small Lu family a threat, so there's no need for them to waste their energy on this charade.

Since that's the case, let's close the net as soon as possible, which led to today's scene.

Hua Yan's eyes were glazed over, and she collapsed to the ground, "You..."

It's actually the Immortal Sect!
Chen Lan looked at her indifferently, "Hua Yan, when you were swaggering around in front of our Immortal Sect before, did you ever expect this day to come?"

Of course not.

At that time, the Xianlai Sect was like a stray dog, and Hua Yan felt extremely happy every time he trampled on them.

But now everything seems to have turned upside down, and when she recalls her boasting and pride in front of them, she only feels ironic.

“Kill me if you want. It’s come to this because I’m outmatched.” Lu Rong closed his eyes. “As for me to tell you how I cheated you back then, don’t even think about it.”

Lu Rong had the land deed for Jing Rong's general store in his Qiankun bag. With this, the Xianlai Sect was able to take Jing Rong back.
