When Luo Renjie brought up the claim that the Fuwei Escort Agency had sided with the Sun Moon Cult, the restaurant fell silent instantly. He thought he had outmaneuvered the two from the Taishan Sect and looked at them expectantly.

"Bah! What demonic sect? It's nothing but the Three Heroes of Jibei in disguise!"

These three guys have been hiding their identities for decades, but suddenly they've appeared, impersonating Dongfang Bubai's men to make things difficult for my Fuwei Escort Agency.

"They must have been instructed by some shady scoundrel, maybe even your Qingcheng Sect."

Madam Wang said disdainfully.

The disciple surnamed Li shouted:

"How do you know it's an imposter? I bet you've all sided with the evil cult."

Master Xia said that those dozen or so evil cult members were all highly skilled in martial arts, and none of them were his match.

He originally intended to risk his life to join forces with you to fight the enemy, but you insisted on offering the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual to the Demonic Sect to beg for your lives, so Master Xia left in anger.

Given the Demonic Sect's consistent practices, how could they possibly spare your lives? Unless you not only surrender the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual but also join the Demonic Sect,

"I've heard your escort agency has even expanded to Hebei; so you've been in cahoots with the Demonic Sect all along!"

After speaking, he looked at Master Tiansong of the Taishan Sect and Chi Baicheng behind him and said:

"Master Tiansong, Young Hero Chi, your Five Mountains Sword Sect has always been irreconcilably opposed to the Demonic Sect, and Master Tianmen, the leader of the Mount Tai Sect, is even more righteous and hates evil."

Now these two are associating with evil cultists. Aren't they afraid of being blamed by Alliance Leader Zuo and Daoist Tianmen?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the restaurant turned to look at the two members of the Taishan Sect, waiting to see how they would respond.

A murmur of discussion immediately arose among the guests, with some whispering amongst themselves.

Master Tiansong was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at Luo Renjie and Li Renhong as if they were fools, and slowly said:

"Oh? The group of 'demonic cult experts' you're talking about, are they the dozen or so men in black on horseback who cornered the Fuwei Escort Agency at the Mountain God Temple last night?"

"Who were the three leaders, each possessing extraordinary martial arts skills, capable of leaving deep palm prints on stone pillars with a single strike?"

Li Renhong was taken aback: "Exactly!"

Tiansong stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"That's right. That group of people has been defeated by the young镖头 (chief镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, meaning someone who is a镖师, and is very powerful). They fled in panic, abandoning their horses. Thanks to them, my nephew and I also got a good horse."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire restaurant:

"Therefore, Young Master Luo's so-called attempt to seek refuge is absolutely impossible."

The people in the restaurant were all shocked. The whispers suddenly rose, and many people looked surprised. They had not expected that the powerful group of "demonic cult members" had already fallen into the hands of the young head镖师 of Fuwei Escort Agency.

Chi Baicheng had been watching the clown performance for a while when he couldn't help but slap the table and burst into laughter, pointing at Luo Renjie with a mocking expression:

"Uncle Tiansong is too kind! Those so-called Three Heroes of Jibei have been famous for many years, yet they still hide their true colors and pretend to be demonic cult members. They are truly a laughing stock."

He took a step forward, his eyes suddenly turning cold:

"You're using these few bastards who were chased away by Brother Lin to smear Fuwei Escort Agency for joining the Demonic Sect? And you even offered up the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

Luo Renjie, before you start spouting nonsense, didn't you even bother to do your research? Are you stupid, or do you think the Five Mountains Sword Sect is blind?

Luo Renjie's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "You...you're making accusations, what evidence do you have?!"

"Evidence?" Chi Baicheng scoffed. "What evidence do you have?"

Last night, Young Master Lin braved the rain to rescue Junior Sister Yilin from Tian Boguang and captured the lecherous thief alive, demonstrating unparalleled righteousness!

"Our Mount Tai Sect doesn't believe in heroes like you, so why should we believe in a petty person like you who stirs up trouble?"

Yilin had long been unable to tolerate Luo Renjie and the other man's slander against Shi Potian. Her face flushed slightly, and she timidly spoke, clutching the hem of her clothes. Her voice was soft but exceptionally earnest:

"Brother Chi is right, Brother Lin... is not a member of the evil sect."

She paused, then mustered her courage and added softly:

"Last night... it was Brother Lin who saved me in the rain. Even Tian Boguang, who is so powerful, couldn't withstand a single move from Brother Lin, and those men in black wouldn't stand a chance against him either."

After speaking in one breath, seeing everyone looking over, the little nun immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her ears turning bright red. She only glanced at Shi Potian quickly before shrinking back down.

"Pretty sister is right. Those two guys are full of bad intentions, not a single one of them is good. You can't believe a word they say."

The little girl who threw the teacup chimed in.

This time, the wine at Yanlou was exceptionally fragrant. No wonder even monks came here to drink. Shi Potian and Zheng Biaotou couldn't wait any longer and ordered some snacks to go with the wine. They were waiting for the waiter to bring the food.

I couldn't be bothered to listen to Luo Renjie's clownish struggles.

Hearing the two girls speak up for him, he merely nodded in response.

Luo Renjie and Li Renhong were greatly discouraged when they didn't expect that their idea of ​​splashing dirty water, which they had racked their brains to come up with, would be rejected by two disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Is Lin Pingzhi really that terrifying? Luo Renjie already respected Lin Pingzhi a lot, but he still underestimated him.

Luo Renjie looked Lin Pingzhi over again. He was not yet twenty years old and hadn't even grown his hair yet. He really couldn't see what he was capable of that could defeat his master and even cause so many demons from the "Demonic Sect" to suffer a great defeat.

Master Xia has a good eye; he wouldn't misjudge the strength of the men in black. Could this kid really defeat or even utterly crush them?

Regardless, the Five Mountains Sword Sect is his only hope for survival, and he cannot give up on it.

Luo Renjie's mind raced, and he said to Chi Baicheng:

"Brother Chi, the righteous and the evil cannot coexist. Countless brothers and sisters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect have died at the hands of the evil cult. Everyone has the right to kill the villains of the evil cult."

"You are a esteemed disciple of the Mount Tai Sect, a personal disciple of the sect leader, known for your strong sense of justice and hatred of evil. How could you collude with the treacherous members of the demonic sect to humiliate righteous disciples?"

Luo Renjie looked intently at Chi Baicheng and said:

"If it is the treacherous villains of the demonic sect who are coercing you, Brother Chi, you need not worry. This is the territory of the Hengshan Sect, and the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony is about to begin, where heroes of the righteous path will gather."

We should seize this opportunity to expose their true colors and work together to eliminate evil and uphold justice.

Chi Baicheng was furious. These people from the Qingcheng Sect were shameless and ruthless. They spoke such blatant lies and distorted the truth in such a grand manner that anyone who didn't know their background would think they were chivalrous people.

The Qingcheng Sect coveted other people's sword manuals, committed murder and arson, and did all sorts of evil deeds. They still have the nerve to call themselves the righteous path and want to be ranked alongside my Five Mountains Sword Sect. Do they even deserve it?

Just as he was about to get up and slap him hard across the face to teach him a lesson.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and a strong floral fragrance wafted from the restaurant, along with the sound of singing coming from downstairs.

The singing was soft and gentle, the melody strange and unintelligible, with not a single word discernible, but the tone was thick and cloying, almost unlike a song, resembling both a sigh and a groan.

Chi Baicheng, young and vigorous, blushed upon hearing this and quickly sat down.

The singing was clearly decadent. As the song drew closer, the fragrance of flowers grew stronger, and the sound of someone going upstairs could be heard. It turned out that the singer was coming upstairs.

After Luo Renjie finished speaking righteously and was waiting for Chi Baicheng's response, he was suddenly stunned by the singing.

Suddenly his face changed drastically. He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a single word. Only strange hoarse sounds came from his throat. His hands and feet felt slightly numb, and his whole body was stiff as wood. He couldn't even lift his hand.

The disciple surnamed Li over there looked the same, his mouth agape as he made strange noises, as if he were struggling to survive.

The restaurant fell into a deathly silence, and everyone who witnessed it felt a chill run down their spines.
