With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Bei Chenyan suddenly made a move, pressing the disciple's pressure points to numb and silence him.

With a thought, Nangong Wu sent the person back into the small dark room.

"...?" The disciple was on the verge of tears. He had already helped them find Zhou Shaorong, so why was he still locked up in the dark room?

Outside the space, after confirming that no one was around, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan quietly sneaked into the Lotus Peak Palace.

This Taoist temple is built in the style of a courtyard, with the main hall in the center and three side rooms on each side. The mountain gate encloses the courtyard, which contains artificial hills, pavilions, and small gardens.

Ling Yangzi is really good to Zhou Shaorong, giving him such a nice Taoist temple to live in alone.

In front of the main hall, a young Taoist priest was guarding the gate, and he had fallen asleep leaning against the door.

Nangong Wu took out a small medicine bottle and used it to knock out the young Taoist priest.

Bei Chenyan walked to the window and listened for a while, then released sleeping gas into the room.

After a while, Nangong Wu sawed off the latch on the inside door and pushed the door open to go inside.

In the inner room, a person could be vaguely seen lying on a large bed through the gauze curtains.

The two walked slowly to the bedside.

Bei Chenyan lifted the gauze curtain and looked at the person lying on the bed. That face was Zhou Shaorong, whom they had been searching for for several years.

"It really is that bastard. Letting him live a few more years is too good for him." Nangong Wu saw that it really was Zhou Shaorong and mentally put him into her space.

"Aiqi, take him into the dark room and treat him well."

"Understood," Aiqi replied to her in the space.

"Let's go."

The two left the Taoist temple and walked back along the path they had come from.

When they arrived at the spot where the disciple had urinated, Nangong Wu brought him out again.

"How is it? Have you found Zhou Shaorong?" the disciple asked them as soon as he came out.

"If you don't want to die quickly, ask fewer questions you shouldn't know." Nangong Wu handed him a purple pill. "This is the antidote."

The disciple looked at the pill but did not take it. "Great heroes, you are so capable and kind people. Can you take me with you? I want to become your disciple. I don't want to stay in Changyang Temple anymore."

Nangong Wu: "...?" She didn't speak, put the medicine in his hand, and quickly left with Bei Chenyan.

They stopped when they reached the wall of Changyang Temple.

"Is there anything you're looking for?" Nangong Wu asked him.

He had previously suspected that his master's killer was connected to the people of Changyang Temple, and now that he had finally managed to get in...

Bei Chenyan looked at the still quiet Changyang Temple and nodded. "Alright, let's go and test that Ling Yangzi."

"Let's go." The two walked down another road.

Suddenly, a loud "bang!" was heard.

The two men's expressions changed slightly, and they stopped. Had someone already discovered that Zhou Shaorong was missing?

Immediately, a signal flare shot into the sky and exploded in mid-air with a "bang!"

Bei Chenyan looked in that direction. "It's not that Lotus Peak Palace."

"Let's see what's going on first; it might be a good opportunity," Nangong Wu said.

"Assassin! Catch the assassin!"

Suddenly, a commotion broke out, and countless Taoist figures emerged from various parts of Changyang Temple, heading towards the location where the assassins had appeared.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu leaped onto the nearest large tree and saw on the rooftop that a person was surrounded by dozens of people and was fighting fiercely.

That person was highly skilled in martial arts. Surrounded by dozens of people, he did not lose ground and fought his way back to the back mountain.

Bei Chenyan narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's that person."

Nangong Wu was taken aback. "Which person?"

"It was the person who launched the hidden weapon at us tonight, right after we landed," Bei Chenyan said.

"It was him." Nangong Wu looked at the person, her eyes flashing slightly.

"It seems this person, like us, also has a grudge against the people of Changyang Temple. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"You want to lend a hand?" Bei Chenyan asked, looking at her.

"Give me a hand! As long as it makes Ling Yangzi unhappy." Nangong Wu took out his sword, a silenced pistol, and a bag of ammunition from her spatial storage and gave them to him.

"Do your best, and protect yourself first."

"Okay." Bei Chenyan smiled, hung his bag on his body, and tucked his pistol into his waistband.

Nangong Wu took out a pistol-style crossbow.

Although this crossbow is not as powerful as a pistol, it is far more powerful than the bows and arrows here. It is equipped with an optical sight and has an effective range of 80 meters.

She wanted to avoid using the thermal weapons in the space as much as possible, otherwise her identity would be exposed.

"We'll take turns, one in the open and one in the shadows, and lead him to the back of the mountain so we can escape," she said.

This person's martial arts skills are so high that if we save him, we will have another ally to deal with Changyang Temple.

At this moment, more and more people surrounded the assassin, and he was trapped.

If this continues, even they won't be able to be saved.

"It seems he can't make it across; we'll have to go and rescue him ourselves," Bei Chenyan said.

"Okay." Nangong Wu first leaped down from the big tree, touched the rooftop with her toes, and then leaped up again.

Bei Chenyan's figure flashed past her. "You go to the back mountain first."

Nangong Wu was worried about him, so she followed him.

Bei Chenyan's martial arts skills seemed to be even stronger than a few years ago. He drew his sword and entered the battle, and no one could defeat him. He tore a bloody path for the assassin.

"Hurry up and go."

The assassin hadn't expected anyone to help him, but he didn't have time to think too much about it and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Nangong Wu seized the opportunity and threw several poison smoke bombs at the pursuers, giving Bei Chenyan and the assassin a chance to escape.

"There's another person here." Someone spotted her and chased after her.

Nangong Wu remained calm and fired short crossbow bolts in quick succession.

However, she underestimated the strength of the people from Changyang Temple. She fired five short crossbow bolts in succession, only injuring one person. She had no choice but to throw out a poison smoke bomb and fly after Bei Chenyan.

She drove back the people on this side, and people from other places rushed over, with hundreds of people chasing after her relentlessly.

The same was true for Bei Chenyan and the assassins; hundreds of people were chasing them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Countless hidden weapons were launched.

The two suddenly leaped into the air, dodging the hidden weapons, and were getting closer and closer to the wall of Changyang Temple.

Just as they were about to fly over the high wall, a giant net descended from the sky and covered the two of them.

Upon seeing each other, Bei Chenyan and the assassin swung their swords and attacked.

However, the net, made of some unknown material, was impossible to cut, and the two were trapped inside.

Nangong Wu was secretly anxious upon seeing this. She mentally summoned the Gatling gun and unleashed a barrage of fire at the people chasing her.

So what if she gets recognized! She'll turn against Changyang Temple someday anyway. Now that Zhou Shaorong is captured, she's not afraid of falling out with Ling Yangzi.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." The Gatling gun was extremely powerful, with its six barrels spinning wildly and spewing out deadly sparks.

Those chasing her had no chance to dodge and dozens fell to the ground instantly.
