Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

Although the man was killed, the murderous aura in Xiao Luoluo's eyes did not subside. She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Lin Yue.

When Lin Yue met the other person's gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and instinctively became wary.

Seeing Lin Bai lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, Xiao Luoluo's anger intensified, and the red demonic patterns on her body deepened in color.

The commotion here was clearly visible to everyone inside the abandoned factory.

The young man looked at Gu Zhou, who had been cut in two by a single sword strike, without caring at all, as if the one who died was just an insignificant nobody from his own family.

"Is he an illegitimate child left behind by the Xiao family, or someone sent out by the Xiao family to gain experience?"

"Zhou Heng".

As the young man's voice fell, a burly figure appeared beside him.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

The young man displayed the image and said, "Bring this woman here, alive. As for the others, take care of them."

"Yes, my lord."

Upon receiving the order, Zhou Heng vanished from his spot in a flash. Just as Lin Yue was on high alert, a figure instantly appeared beside Xiao Luoluo. In that instant, Xiao Luoluo turned around sharply and swung her long sword, but the scene of the man being dismembered by a single sword strike did not appear.

The burly man appeared and gripped Xiao Luoluo's longsword with just his index finger and thumb. In the next instant, the man delivered a chop to the back of Xiao Luoluo's neck, causing her to faint.

Zhou Heng looked at the others, and just as he was about to deal with them all, a voice rang out.

"I apologize for being a little late."

Suddenly, an elderly man with a full head of white hair, dressed in a butler's uniform, appeared between Zhou Heng and Lin Yue. He was remarkably energetic.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Heng's pupils. He, a powerful expert at the seventh level of the City Realm, had not noticed at all when this old man had arrived.

The young man watching the scene felt a bad premonition the moment the old man appeared.

"It seems this place has been discovered; we need to move our position."

The man then took out a walkie-talkie: "Take care of everyone outside. This place has been exposed."

At the man's command, several powerful auras erupted from the abandoned factory, and the young man calmly walked toward the room where Chu Yu was imprisoned.

Outside, the old man looked around and saw that where there had been no one before, three people had now surrounded him.

"You really think highly of me. One is at the 7th level of the City Leaving Realm, two are at the 5th level of the City Leaving Realm, and one is at the 8th level of the City Leaving Realm. To be able to bring out so many powerful people at once, it seems that your family has quite a strong foundation."

The old man then looked at Lin Yue and said, "What are you standing there for, kid? Hurry up and go in to save people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue immediately realized what was happening and darted inside, smashing through the window.

However, the people around him did not try to stop him at all, because in their eyes, the boy in front of them was only a fifth-level village cultivator, and their master could deal with him too easily.

Immediately, the four of them moved in unison, rushing swiftly towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin slowly put on a pair of white gloves.

He clenched his fists tightly, and a white tiger tattoo appeared on his white gloves. Immediately afterwards, a white tiger phantom several meters tall appeared behind him.

"I haven't used my fists in a long time, but I never expected that I would end up killing a bunch of bastards like you."

"roar--!!!"

Wang Lin stomped his foot hard, and the ground, unable to withstand the immense force, caved in. A white tiger's head, made of spiritual energy, suddenly emerged from beneath Wang Lin, roaring towards the sky.

As the four people rushed towards Wang Lin, time seemed to freeze just as they were about to get close. A powerful sound wave suddenly spread outwards. The four hurriedly activated their spiritual energy, and their external bodies and artifact spirits appeared behind them: a black bear, a mantis, a spirit bird, and a poisonous scorpion.

Shields of various colors unfolded, and the moment the sound waves reached them, the shields shattered. The already abandoned factory was violently shaken by the sound waves, and the pillars supporting the walls and the walls themselves were covered with cracks. If just a little more force was applied, the entire abandoned factory would completely collapse.

The sound waves entered the four people's bodies, and they suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings.

Wang Lin squinted and scanned his surroundings: "It's been a long time since I've done this, and I've really gotten a bit rusty. My control is so much worse. Fortunately, this factory is more reliable than it looks."

Inside the factory, Lin Yue sensed the Yang energy he had left in Chu Yu's body and quickly located it. However, he also sensed someone approaching from the same direction.

But time was of the essence. Lin Yue opened the door and saw Chu Yu being blindfolded and tied to a chair. Fortunately, she was not harmed, which made Lin Yue's tense heart relax a little.

"Young Miss!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Yu was overjoyed: "Lin Yue, you're here!!"

Lin Yue came to Chu Yu's side, removed her blindfold, and loosened her bindings. When Chu Yu saw Lin Yue, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

"Lin Yue, is that noise outside because Dad and the others are here?"

Lin Yue shook his head: "I don't know the people outside either, but I think Mr. Chu and the others will be here soon. I'll take you away from here first."

Just then, Lin Yue's expression hardened, and he hurriedly shielded Chu Yu behind him.

"Chu Yu, you go ahead."

Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "None of you are leaving."

Then a man wearing a clown mask walked out from the side.

Upon hearing the man's voice, Chu Yu warned, "He's the mastermind who kidnapped me!"

The young man slowly approached from the doorway: "Miss Chu, you can't falsely accuse people. I just invited you here as a guest. Do you think any kidnapper would treat you so well, giving you food and drink without taking a single penny from you?"

"Your words have really hurt me."

Chu Yu angrily retorted, "Pah! You're even more shameless than my uncle!"

"My father and the others will be here soon. You can still run now, or you're doomed!"

"Hahahaha." The man laughed, "Well, I am a little scared, that's why we haven't arrived yet. This little bit of time is enough for me to take you to another place."

Lin Yue glared angrily at the man: "Miss, you should leave now. I'll hold him off here."

However, the man paid no attention to Lin Yue and walked towards Chu Yu on his own, reaching out to take Chu Yu away.

Seeing this, Lin Yue threw a punch, and with a "bang," the man caught Lin Yue's fist with one hand.
