Chapter 67 He Must Die

"I work for the Religious Affairs Bureau!"

Bai Ruhui stepped forward with a powerful movement, his sword pointing towards the man with flashing lightning, stopping three inches in front of the Iron-Faced Man's forehead.

Cold sweat streamed down, leaving streaks on the Iron Mask's dark face.

Seeing that Bai Ruhui had stopped, he quickly repeated, "You can't kill me! I'm from the clan management office!"

Religious Affairs Office?

Xie Lingxin stepped down and stood with Zhu Wenjie and the others.

They watched in astonishment as Bai Ruhui made his move.

The Iron-Faced Man, whom they considered invincible, was utterly powerless against Bai Ruhui.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed again.

He couldn't help but whisper, "What is the Clan Management Office?"

Cui Hong said in a low voice, "Although the Federation is mainly composed of the ruling governments of the nine planets, it is also composed of extremely complex forces."

"The Religious Affairs Office is one of them, officially known as the Religious Management Office."

"Although it may seem to be just a department in the Federation, it has a huge influence, spanning the nine planets, and can even be considered as a rival to the nine governing governments."

"As you can tell from his name, he has the authority to monitor and handle any intelligence, security matters, or even ideological management related to religion."

"Within the Federation, who among those who cultivate can completely sever ties with religion? Individuals, sects, and families are no exception."

An alternative form of the Military Intelligence Bureau, huh?
A thought popped into Xie Lingxin's mind, and she was secretly shocked. No wonder she had never heard of it before.

This power is boundless.

How could such a thing still exist in the Federation?

A flicker of surprise flashed in Bai Ruhui's eyes, followed by a frown: "You are clearly the White Lotus Demon Iron-Faced Monk! You think I don't know? And you dare to impersonate someone from the sect management office!"

"The White Lotus Society?!"

Zhu Wenjie and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Xie Lingxin's expression, he knew that Xie Lingxin had never heard of him before.

They were used to his complete lack of common sense, which made him seem like he really came from the slums.

This time, Zhu Wenjie said, "This is a group of madmen who are trying to welcome the 'true Buddha' into the world in reality. They are the legendary 'Buddha'!"

"But what they did was more terrifying than evil spirits!"

As he spoke, the masked man added, "You can contact the Leizhou Municipal Government at any time to verify with the federal higher-ups! I can't escape from you either."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I only managed to infiltrate the White Lotus Society after great difficulty. The Federation's higher-ups have already made arrangements for the White Lotus Society,"

"If you kill me, not only will you be unable to bear the consequences of ruining the Federation's plans, but you will also offend the powerful family behind me, and no one in Nanhe Wudang can afford to do that!"

The man in the iron mask then revealed a smug look, his words carrying a threatening undertone.

Cui Hong and the others looked grim.

They knew the Man in the Iron Mask wasn't exaggerating.

Let's set aside whether what he said about the federal plan is true or false.

Those who work in the clan management office must be from prominent families.

If he really is a member of the clan management office, the death of a scion of a prominent family here would cause unrest not only for Bai Ruhui and Nanhe Wudang, but for the entire Leizhou City.

Bai Ruhui finally showed hesitation.

As he said, it's not difficult to prove.

With a stern face, he said, "You're the only White Lotus demon who infiltrated the domain this time?"

"Stop calling me a 'white lotus demon' all the time."

The masked man said with displeasure, "That's right, and I'm not afraid to tell you, this plan against the White Lotus Society requires the resources from this domain."

"That essence of the seven emotions was one of them, so I had someone cooperate and infiltrate the realm under the guise of the White Lotus Society,"

"You should know that without someone cooperating, even the White Lotus Society wouldn't have been able to so easily break into this domain under the noses of the major powers in Leizhou."

Bai Ruhui was now nine-tenths convinced.

They had known for a long time that the White Lotus Demon had designs on the Domain.

The reason why the training time in the Domain Realm was not changed was that the original intention was to lure them into a trap and capture them all at once.

The entrance to the domain has long been under strict surveillance.

As he said, how could they have entered the domain silently without anyone cooperating with them?

"Can I release you from your lightning binding spell now?"

The masked man chuckled. He cursed inwardly, thinking, "This tiny Leizhou actually has someone who can control the power of thunder! It's utterly absurd!"
Once I recover, I'll make you pay!
"and many more!"

Bai Ruhui remained silent, and Xie Lingxin ran over.

"Teacher Bai, I want to ask him a question."

Bai Ruhui glanced at him and nodded.

Xie Lingxin stared at the masked man on the ground: "Since you are from the clan management office, why did you try to harm us just now?"

"Harm you?"

The masked man sneered, "You? I just wanted to play with you. Don't be fooled by how easily you killed that ghost; it was only because the Yin Lightning was a perfect counter."

"I initially thought it would be a bit tricky, but since you guys are here, I thought I'd let you deal with it for a while. Who knew that these so-called young talents of Leizhou would be so pathetic?"

"You can't withstand a single blow from it and you'll die, haha."

The laughter was extremely grating.

"you!"

Zhu Wenjie's eyes were blazing with anger; if Cui Hong hadn't been holding him back, he would have charged forward.

"Just playing around? That's a human life at stake."

Xie Lingxin smiled.

The man in the iron mask laughed: "Given my status, you should feel honored."

"He's just a nobody from a small clan in the countryside; I'll just pay compensation."

"Believe it or not, if his people knew they could use their lives to forge a connection with me, they wouldn't hate him; instead, they would be overjoyed."

It's not that he's arrogant and brainless, but rather that scions of powerful federal families have the confidence to back up their ambitions!
Even Bai Ruhui, Cui Hong, and the others fell silent.

Because they knew that what the Man in the Iron Mask said was very likely to come true.

Let alone Huoshan, if this happened to them, most of their families, except for a few close relatives, would probably think the same way.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, a golden light flashed.

"Hmph!"

Xie Lingxin held the golden knife and plunged it straight into the heart of the man with the iron mask.

The masked man tensed up suddenly, let out a muffled groan, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

"You...you dare!"

The man in the iron mask's eyes were filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.

Xie Lingxin thought to herself, "I'd like to play with you too, but it looks like you can't afford to."

The man in the iron mask bulged his eyes, as if to demand: How dare you! How dare you!?

But the gushing blood rendered him speechless.

Xie Lingxin twisted the golden knife fiercely, and the masked man spat out blood. In just a few breaths, his body stiffened, his head lolled to the side, and he fell silent.

Bai Ruhui stood to the side, his hand already halfway out.

Actually, he could have stopped Xie Lingxin when she first pierced his heart, but he ultimately did.

Cui Hong was both shocked and anxious: "Xie Lingxin, you...!"

He knew that Xie Lingxin wanted to avenge Huo Shan's death, and this was her only chance.

But... the consequences of a prince's family dying here are truly unpredictable.

"Sigh! Why bother?"

Xie Lingxin drew the Evil-Repelling Golden Knife and let out a relieved breath: "He must die."

Xie Lingxin turned around and said, "Teacher Bai, don't worry. I will take responsibility for my actions. I killed the person, and it has nothing to do with you."

Bai Ruhui rolled his eyes: "You want to carry it? Can your small frame handle it?"

"Even if I go outside and shout that you killed a fifth-dan martial artist with one strike, do you think people will believe me or not?"

Xie Lingxin muttered, "Then what should we do?"

In that situation, he was bound to take action.

Having missed the opportunity, judging from Bai Ruhui's attitude and Cui Hong's words, there was absolutely no chance to kill this Iron-Faced Man again.

Whether you call him a born rebel or someone who acts impulsively without considering the consequences, if he can't avenge Huo Shan, he'll never be able to sleep peacefully again.

As for the consequences...
