Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

With his current endurance and the continuous replenishment from the Longevity Sutra, this golden bell can easily last for three days and three nights!

Sizzle—sizzle—

"Lord Commander, you did a great job cutting down enemies. It's my turn now."

Before the words were even finished, streaks of purple lightning suddenly shot up from the surface of the golden bell, crackling and exploding, with electric light coiling around the bell like pythons.

Boom-!

A deep, resonant sound, like the morning bell of an ancient temple, rang out, and Lin Quan's figure, enveloped in golden lightning, vanished abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, a streak of purple-gold light had already struck Commander Zuo's face!

Without a word or force, he raised his hand and threw a punch—straight to the center!

As a Grandmaster, how swift was Zuo Qianhu's reaction? Yet, in that instant, a chill ran down his spine, his hair stood on end, and he instinctively sensed the scent of death!

boom--!!

Before the punch landed, the thunder exploded!

The violent force of the punch, accompanied by thunder, erupted with a deafening roar. Zuo Qianhu was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing out thirty paces away. After landing, he staggered back seven paces, his boots carving two deep, charred marks on the bluestone slab before he could barely regain his footing.

As soon as he stood still, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of thick blood, staining his official robes red.

"Such domineering force..."

"Even thunder can move at will?!"

Zuo Qianhu felt as if his chest was churning, and his internal organs were being crushed by a heavy hammer.

The solidity of the golden bell had already terrified him; the power of this punch shattered his heart and soul—with just one strike, his internal organs were injured and his blood and qi surged!

Although the injury was not fatal, the suffocating feeling of being completely suppressed was more unbearable than being stabbed ten times.

"Lord Thousand, you truly deserve to be called a Grandmaster who wields real power."

"I hope that one day we can have another chance to exchange ideas."

Lin Quan landed a punch, but did not pursue.

His gaze was calm, his smile undiminished. He nodded to the Left Commander, and with a flash, he vanished into the street corner as a blur.

"Considering that Commander Qianhu did not make things difficult for Lord Fu, I will tell you the truth—"

"The Imperial Preceptor's Prayer for Salvation is haunted by ghosts."

"As for which kind of ghost it is, I would like to ask Commander to go and dig it out himself."

The words drifted away on the wind, and the man from Linquan was nowhere to be seen.

"If anything suspicious is discovered, I urge Commander to think carefully before acting, and refrain from hasty action..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Quan walked back to Qiao Jingjing and the other woman, and gave them a very slight nod.

The two women understood each other perfectly, and without uttering a word, they simply nodded in acknowledgment, their actions swift and decisive.

The next instant, the three figures rose like the wind, without lingering for a moment, and disappeared into the depths of the night in the blink of an eye.

Those righteous men who rushed to the scene were stunned by what they saw!

For a moment, everyone was stunned, the same thought churning in their minds—

What am I standing here for?

They were supposed to come and rescue Fu Tianchou, but before they even saw him, Fu Tianchou had already been silently taken away by Zhu Zhuqing.

What's even more speechless is that Lin Quan alone forced Zuo Qianhu to stop his attack and retreat.

They gripped their swords but didn't even touch the hem of their clothes, looking more like onlookers who had come specifically to watch the spectacle.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Return to Zhengqi Manor immediately!"

Several breaths later, someone shouted out in a hoarse voice. Everyone snapped out of their daze and, without saying a word, turned around and retreated quickly towards the villa.

Meanwhile, Zuo Qianhu wiped the blood from his lips, watched Lin Quan and the other two leave, his chest heaving with turmoil, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Who exactly are these people?"

"And what about the Imperial Preceptor, Pudu Cihang... just how many hidden tricks are there?"

He muttered to himself, wiping the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, the blood still damp. After a long while, the burning sensation in his internal organs and the chaotic flow of his blood and qi gradually subsided.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Only then did dozens of his men gather around and ask for instructions in unison.

Zuo Qianhu's gaze swept over the crowd—this group of personal guards were all experts above the Innate Realm, and two of them were even Grandmasters, who had always been his right-hand men.

Faced with his subordinates' persistent questioning, he frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and finally gave the order in a deep voice: "Return to the capital!"

"I want to see for myself whether that Imperial Preceptor, Pudu Cihang, is human or demon, and what his true intentions are!"

He didn't completely believe Lin Quan's warning before he left, but he didn't completely doubt it either.

He only believed the truth he saw with his own eyes, touched with his own hands, and held to the edge of a knife.

Once the thought was made up, he did not hesitate any longer. He immediately mounted his horse and led his men straight toward the capital. The sound of hooves was like thunder, crushing the frost on the ground.

Almost at the same moment, Zhu Zhuqing, along with the Fu Qingfeng sisters, escorted Fu Tianchou to Zhengqi Manor.

After confirming that no one was following them, she nodded slightly to Fu Qingfeng and said, "Let's wait for Brother Quan and the others here."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Tianchou bowed deeply: "Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady!"

Zhu Zhuqing paused slightly, then waved her hand somewhat awkwardly: "Lord Fu, you flatter me..."

Before the other person could speak again, she turned to look at Fu Qingfeng and said in a light tone, "Sister Qingfeng, you and your father can talk slowly. I'll go greet Brother Quan and the others."

After saying those words, she flashed out of the courtyard gate.

Fu Tianchou opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a word, Zhu Zhuqing's figure had already disappeared into the shadows of the corridor pillars.

At this moment, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi rushed forward, anxiously asking, "Father, are you injured?"

"It's alright, Commander Zuo didn't make things difficult for me."

After a pause, Fu Tianchou raised his eyes and asked, "Just who is that young lady from?"

Before the two sisters could answer, Fu Yuechi spoke first: "It was the older sister who invited these helpers."

Swah——

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Tianchou's gaze suddenly fixed on Fu Qingfeng's face.

Just as Fu Qingfeng was about to open his mouth to explain, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he were being gripped by an invisible hand.

She didn't dare utter a single word about the time-space mirror.

Her expression darkened slightly, and after a moment of silence with her eyes lowered, she slowly spoke:

"Hmm...they are all people I trust."

"Upon hearing that my father had an accident, I immediately set off to help..."

Swish, swish, swish—

Before the words were finished, Lin Quan, Zhu Zhuqing, Li Hanyi, and Qiao Jingjing appeared in sight, walking steadily towards the father and his two daughters.

"Father, let me introduce you—"

"This is Lin Quan, and this is Qiao Jingjing..."

Upon seeing everyone appear, Fu Qingfeng suddenly quickened his pace, swiftly bridging the gap between the two sides.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Quan nodded slightly and asked, "Qingfeng, what are your plans for the next steps?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianchou, Fu Qingfeng, and Fu Yuechi exchanged glances and froze.

The air hung heavy for a long moment, and no one spoke.

After a long silence, Fu Tianchou gritted his teeth, his voice low but resolute: "I want to go to the capital to plead my case before the Emperor!"

Swah——

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Quan and the other three turned to stare at him, their eyes filled with astonishment, absurdity, and disbelief.

They risked their lives to break through the enemy lines and overcome obstacles, all to rescue the old man.

And what happened? The person had just escaped danger, and immediately turned around to jump into the fire pit!

Feeling stifled, so stifled! A sense of powerlessness, which made them both laugh involuntarily, welled up in their hearts.

If I had known this would happen, I would have let him stay in jail!
