Chapter 189: Killing All the Heartless Men in the World

~6 min read 1,108 words

There were three women who walked into the inn.

The leading woman paused visibly when she swept her gaze over Zhu Gaoxu and the others.

A flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

However, she quickly moved past Zhu Gaoxu and the others, turning her gaze toward the three martial artists who were dining in the hall.

Upon seeing the three martial artists, the woman had clearly found the target she was looking for.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and the woman said directly, "Yihua Palace has arrived. We shall kill all the heartless men in the world!"

Having said this, she drew the precious sword at her waist and charged straight at the three men to kill them.

Ever since these people from Yihua Palace entered the inn, the three burly men dining in the hall had clearly been on guard.

Seeing the people from Yihua Palace attack, the men were not panicked; they drew their own weapons and immediately rushed to meet them.

Unfortunately, the three men clearly overestimated themselves.

In just a single exchange, the three were decapitated.

The other two Yihua Palace disciples did not even need to make a move.

Those three had already stopped breathing.

Then, the leading woman from Yihua Palace looked toward Zhu Gaoxu and the others.

Seeing the woman look over, the Qishan Five Tigers all felt a jolt of alarm in their hearts.

They had witnessed the entire process of the Yihua Palace disciples killing the men just now.

With their discernment, it was naturally clear to them that they were no match for the other party.

Moreover, the main point was that they were also well aware of the great name of Yihua Palace.

They knew it was an existence they could not afford to provoke.

They already had one major trouble on their hands; if they were to provoke Yihua Palace as well, it would truly be a situation of ten deaths and no life.

Just as the Qishan Five Tigers were feeling nervous and unsure of what to do, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that this Yihua Palace woman looked somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu remembered.

Isn't this the same Yihua Palace woman who killed the bully at the restaurant earlier!

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flickered; the Yihua Palace woman had been looking at Zhu Gaoxu's side the whole time.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's subtle expression, she immediately understood that Zhu Gaoxu had recognized her.

She then turned her head to look at the Qishan Five Tigers.

Facing the woman's gaze, the Qishan Five Tigers were under immense pressure for a moment.

Not wanting to cause any extra trouble, the men exchanged glances, and the leader took the initiative to cup his hands in a salute to the woman: "We are the Qishan Five Tigers. Greetings, heroines of Yihua Palace. If you have no business with us, we shall take our leave."

As he spoke, the leader led the others to head upstairs.

It would have been fine if the leader hadn't announced their affiliation.

But the reputation of the Qishan Five Tigers was clearly not small, though it certainly wasn't a good one.

Zhu Gaoxu had met that woman once before.

Seeing the woman's stance, Zhu Gaoxu thought she was about to rescue him from the depths of misery!

Once the woman made a move, Zhu Gaoxu could take advantage of the situation to climb the pole.

By sticking with the Yihua Palace woman back to Yihua Palace, he could just happen to complete the system's sign-in task.

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was daydreaming, the woman merely glanced at them and then turned to leave.

This scene left Zhu Gaoxu completely stunned.

Zhu Gaoxu clearly knew that the other party had recognized him too.

Why couldn't she just make a move and help out?

Zhu Gaoxu watched speechlessly as they walked further and further away.

The Qishan Five Tigers all breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the group leave.

The government was definitely hunting them down now; if they were to provoke Yihua Palace as well...

If both the underworld and the righteous path were hunting them down, they would lose their lives even if they had eight heads.

Having breathed a sigh of relief, the men went upstairs and returned to their room.

Meanwhile, the three from Yihua Palace who had just walked out were discussing what had just happened.

One of the Yihua Palace disciples asked her senior sister: "Senior Sister, looking at your expression earlier, it seemed like you were going to make a move. The Qishan Five Tigers are not good people; why didn't you take the opportunity to teach them a lesson and deal with them?"

After hearing this, the senior sister smiled and replied: "I don't know if you noticed, but there was a child among the Qishan Five Tigers."

Hearing their senior sister's words, the two recalled and indeed, they had both seen Zhu Gaoxu.

But neither of them knew what this had to do with Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeing the confusion on her two junior sisters' faces, the senior sister said: "I saw this child in Jingcheng last time. Our little junior sister was being bullied at the time, and this kid helped out a bit."

Hearing their senior sister's words, the two were even more puzzled.

"Then why didn't Senior Sister make a move to kill the Qishan Five Tigers? That kid was clearly being held hostage by the five of them."

Hearing her junior sister's words, the senior sister finally revealed the reason.

"Your cultivation is still shallow, so you don't know. Just now, I saw that this child's internal breath was deep and steady, and his internal energy was far above that of the Qishan Five Tigers. I fear it would not be difficult for him to escape; I see his being held hostage by them as merely a facade."

Hearing their senior sister's words, both of them gasped.

They seemed somewhat disbelieving.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu looked like he was only a young child; how could he possibly have such profound internal energy?

The senior sister seemed to know they didn't believe her and explained again: "Actually, I didn't believe it at first either, but the feeling this child gives me is very similar to the feeling of the First Palace Mistress and the Second Palace Mistress. It shouldn't be wrong."

Only after the senior sister said this did the two dispel some of their doubts.

Zhu Gaoxu, inside the inn, had no idea that the woman outside was currently discussing him.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was just thinking about how to escape.
