Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Qingxiang and Yunying didn't have anything in their hands, but judging from their expressions, they had obviously stolen quite a few treasures!

"You guys think this place is a supermarket? Are you here for free shopping?" Wang Hong said angrily. "People work so hard outside, saving up this little bit of money, and then they go to great lengths to cover for you, and this is how you treat them?"

Upon hearing this, the group looked around and glanced at their surroundings.

"Wang Hong, your house is quite big!" Lu Qingyuan stammered.

"Wang Hong, you're amazing! You actually raised a phoenix!" Qingxiang looked at Wang Hong with stars in her eyes.

"Put them all down!" Wang Hong suddenly activated the Holy Sword, and the Ji Yuan energy in the core of Ji Yuan spread out without restraint, causing the four bandits to retreat repeatedly.

"Wang Hong, when did you become so strong?" Lu Qingyuan suddenly thought of something, her eyebrows furrowing. "Just how many good things did you steal from our ancestral hall?!"

"Steal? I stole yours!" Wang Hong was furious, speechless with anger at Lu Qingyuan, and could only keep pounding his chest.

"Lu Qingyuan! I've been kidnapped! Why didn't you come to save me?!"

Lu Qingyuan's expression changed. "Wang Hong, I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'do you know how dangerous I was'?" Wang Hong shouted angrily.

Yunying then interjected, "Wang Hong almost became a living dead."

"A living dead?"

"This man is none other than Prince Mo of the Qing Clan, the powerful figure behind Lu Shu," Wang Hong pointed to his face, "He is a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"The peak Foundation Establishment stage of the Qing Clan? Never heard of it." Lu Qingyuan's heart pounded. She looked at Wang Hong with concern, then pretended to be relaxed: "It seems Lord Wang is quite extraordinary, actually managing to defeat the peak Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Heh, yes, it's better to rely on yourself than on others!" Wang Hong said with a sorrowful expression, involuntarily touching his mouth and spitting. "Do you know what a beastly thing Mo Jie did to me!"

Yunying turned her head away, her pretty face flushed.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Lu Qingyuan's eyes widened. What were those expressions on Wang Hong and Yun Ying's faces? Could it be...?

"Could it be that Mo Jie is a pervert, a homosexual?"

"Could it be that Mo Jie is a pervert, forcing you and Yun Ying..." Huang San exclaimed in shock, "I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore!"

"What are you thinking about!"

Wang Hong and Yun Ying shouted angrily at the same time, then said in unison, "You tell us!"

Lu Qingyuan looked at Yun Ying and said, "You tell me, nine out of ten things Wang Hong said are lies." After saying that, she ignored Wang Hong's objecting look and stared intently at Yun Ying.

"Um, how should I put it, it's like that, um." Yunying thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to start.

Suddenly, a white torrent, like a silver river, burst forth from between Wang Hong's brows. Everything Mo Jie had done to Wang Hong was projected onto the Holy Sword.

Mo Jie's impassioned introduction of the Soul-Sealing Robe lingered in everyone's ears for a long time.

In the small room, all five people fell silent.

Huang San couldn't even be bothered by the shock of the Holy Sword projection; he felt incredibly guilty about what had happened to Wang Hong!

He had promised Lord Qing two things, one of which was to protect Wang Hong.

But not only did he fail to protect Wang Hong, Wang Hong even rescued Yun Ying. Without Wang Hong, he couldn't imagine what would have happened to Yun Ying!

Wang Hong, I owe you a huge favor!

Wang Hong's agonizing expression and bloodied body shocked Lu Qingyuan's consciousness, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time. If Mo Jie hadn't been careless and hadn't been pierced by the holy sword, Wang Hong would have truly suffered a fate worse than death...

She walked up to Wang Hong, biting her lip lightly, about to speak. Wang Hong interrupted her, a playful look on his face, "What, what do you want to say to me?"

Lu Qingyuan shook her head gently, but was interrupted by Wang Hongyi before she could speak, and then she didn't know how to start.

Seeing that those eyes were gradually welling up with tears, Wang Hong quickly said, "Alright, I'm incredibly clever, I turned the tables from a desperate situation, and that's how I proved myself to be a sage. Enough with the mushy talk, just hand over my treasure!"

Lu Qingyuan waved her hand, and a large number of spirit stones and magic treasures flew out of her storage bag. She then handed the gilded giant blade and armor in her hand to Wang Hong, saying, "Wang Hong, here you go. If you want anything else, I'll get it for you."

A brilliant light shone in Wang Hongmei's heart, and the radiant light of her crystal lamp appeared, sending all the spirit stones and magical treasures flying back into Lu Qingyuan's storage bag. "How could I possibly take a woman's things!"

He grasped Lu Qingyuan's hand, which had loosened its grip on the precious sword, again. "These treasures were originally meant for you!"

"However, me giving it to you and you taking it directly from me are completely different concepts!"

"Remember, you're a woman, you have to listen to men!" Wang Hong's arrogant demeanor made Huang San give him a thumbs up. A true man should be like this!

"Huang San, spit out all my stuff!" Wang Hong glared fiercely at Huang San, that greedy bastard who had taken so many of his treasures!

"Brother Hong, you're being too polite!" Huang San looked at Lu Qingyuan with pleading eyes. "I helped Wang Hong find that mysterious treasure in the ancestral hall!"

"Fine, consider it a gift from me! Huang San, Yun Ying has a restriction on her spiritual power, you'd better find a way to remove it quickly!" Wang Hong projected the information about the restriction on Yun Ying's body using the Holy Sword.

Huang San stepped forward and released his natal star power to remove the restriction on Yun Ying's body.

Sensing the unusual change in the star power, his eyes immediately became complicated. No wonder the Star-Gazing Cliff was targeted by the Chime Clan!

The star power of Lanxing Cliff has a natural restraint on this kind of silent primordial energy!

"My father once mentioned this restriction to me; I'll try to see if I can break it!"

Seeing Huang San struggling to break the restriction, Wang Hong then asked Lu Qingyuan in a sarcastic tone, "Lu Qingyuan, what important matter has brought you here from the ancestral hall?"

"A fierce battle broke out at the ancestral hall. A master in the clan sent me a telepathic message, telling me to take this opportunity to explore Lu Feng's study to uncover secrets." Lu Qingyuan lowered her head guiltily. "This is Lu Feng's study, the most secret and forbidden place in the Lu family, guarded even more heavily than the ancestral hall."

"Then how did you get in?"

Lu Qingyuan gestured towards Qingxiang with her lips, then asked Wang Hong curiously, "What about you? How did you get in?"

After a moment's thought, Wang Hong said, "Qingyuan, a little red fox has gone missing. Do you know where she is?"

"A fiery red little fox? You saw Lu Yanwu?" Upon hearing this, Qingxiang immediately grabbed Wang Hong's arm. "Tell me quickly, where is she!"

Wang Hong sighed and used the Holy Sword to project the details of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's shrine into everyone's minds.

Qingxiang was about to get up to ask the elders to rescue them, but Lu Qingyuan forcibly pressed her down. Until the light of the Holy Sword dimmed, none of them made a sound.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Lu Qingyuan murmured. So this is what the Supreme Elders and the others were after? We must tell them this as soon as possible!

"There aren't many guards there, probably to avoid being exposed. But with Lu Feng's support and in such a secluded place, there's no need for guards at all," Wang Hong said, adding, "Lu Shu activated the teleportation array, and we were teleported here."

Qingxiang looked dejected. Her father had done such a heinous thing. Why didn't you do anything about them, Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Ancestor?

She shook her head and looked at Lu Qingyuan, asking, "Sister, did you find anything in the study?"

"No, we only had a short time to investigate, and we arrived before we could thoroughly search for Lu Shu and Wang Hong."

"What exactly are you looking for?" Wang Hong wondered. Could there be a bigger secret than the Xiaoyao Pavilion?

"We must find out the truth behind Lu Feng's abnormal behavior! We need to know who's behind this!" Lu Qingyuan turned to Wang Hong, "And what exactly is this 'Qing Clan' you mentioned!"

Wang Hong urged, "Alright, now hurry up and finish your business and leave. You've already made a great harvest!"

Bearing such a precious treasure, Wang Hong was a little nervous.

Evacuate! Evacuate now!
