Chapter 463

"And the six of us received word that it is the Heavenly Demon Qin."

"So as long as Escort Leader Lu lets us take a look at this consignment, and confirms it is not the Heavenly Demon Qin—"

"We will immediately apologize and turn around and leave. How about it?"

The escorts a bodyguard agency takes on are divided into open escorts and secret escorts.

For an open escort, the price is clearly stated, and the agency is also told exactly what item or task it is, before estimating the escort fee.

For a secret escort, generally it is because the client finds it inconvenient to disclose what is being escorted.

But the price of such an escort is also much higher than an open one—at least ten times more.

And the rule of the escort trade is that if it is a secret escort, one absolutely must not take even a single glance at it.

On one hand this is because the client requested it; on the other, in truth, it is to avoid getting into trouble.

This rule has always been recognized by both the escort trade and the Wu Lin.

Yet not long ago, Feihu Escort Agency did indeed accept a secret escort.

Now that Han Xun has spoken this way, isn't this just forcing Lu Tengkong to break the rules and have his reputation ruined?

"Sect Leader Han is joking."

Lu Tengkong did not back down,

"The other day my son did indeed accept a secret escort, but it was just some gold, silver, and jewelry entrusted by a local wealthy household."

"There really is no Heavenly Demon Qin."

"Moreover, even for a secret escort, even people of the escort agency cannot go and inspect it."

"Please excuse us, the six Sect Leaders."

"Cut the crap!"

He Qinghua had a fiery temper and lashed out with a whip directly.

The golden washbasin was split clean in two.

"Lu Tengkong, the six of us came together not to negotiate with you."

"Today this secret escort—we're going to look at it whether you like it or not!"

"You have no choice!"

"You old hag, is it menopause already?"

At this moment Lu Tengkong's son, Lu Lin, walked out and immediately opened his mouth to mock He Qinghua,

"Is Feihu Escort Agency's secret escort something you can just look at whenever you want?"

"Brat, you've got nerve—take this!"

Being insulted like this by Lu Lin, how could He Qinghua stand it? Without even asking Lu Lin's identity, she lashed her whip and attacked.

The great man was steeped in a martial Wu Feng, and the Liudamen Sect was even more extraordinary.

Although He Qinghua was a mere woman, her strength had already reached late-stage Peerless.

Her whip technique was not only sublime, but like a spirit snake emerging from its hole.

Every move was both exquisite and vicious.

Lu Lin's cultivation was not low either, but he was young after all—only a Great Grandmaster.

Facing He Qinghua now, within just two moves he was already in grave danger.

Seeing his beloved son in peril, Lu Tengkong immediately drew his treasured blade and prepared to join the fight.

"Hold on! Escort Leader Lu, if you make a move, it will mean Feihu Escort Agency is declaring war on the Liudamen Sect, you know?"

Han Xun tapped his longsword and blocked Lu Tengkong's path.

"Think it through before you decide!"

Hearing this, Lu Tengkong could not help but hesitate for a moment.

293—Are you all insane?

Feihu Escort Agency had been operating in the great man for over a hundred years, painstakingly built from the time of Lu Tengkong's ancestors.

Now, counting the escort masters, escort leaders, men, women, old and young, there were no fewer than a hundred-odd mouths to feed.

But this bit of force against the Liudamen Sect was no different from an egg striking a rock.

In just that moment of hesitation, Lu Lin took a whip strike, the flesh torn open.

Lu Tengkong could no longer care about anything else. He channeled his Qi into the blade and with a single slash forced Han Xun back.

Then he leaped forward and blocked He Qinghua's whip.

"He Qinghua, you are also considered a senior figure of the Wu Lin—how can you strike a junior so viciously?"

He Qinghua gave a cold laugh,

"Your son has no manners at all. This old lady is disciplining him on your behalf."

Saying so, she attacked again with her whip, and with a single whip managed to encircle both Lu Tengkong and Lu Lin, father and son, within its reach.

At this moment Guihai Yidao suddenly spoke,

"Enough. Since Lu Tengkong insists on being the enemy of the Liudamen Sect, then Feihu Escort Agency has no reason to exist anymore."

"Everyone who does not wish to be dragged into this—I give you a quarter of an hour to leave."

Hearing this, the Wu Lin people present dared not linger. They immediately employed their lightness skill and fled.

Even many of Feihu Escort Agency's escort masters, amid the chaos, followed and fled.

The people of the Liudamen Sect did not stop them either, letting them all leave.

In no time, the once-grand Feihu Escort Agency was left with only the people of the Liudamen Sect and a handful of Feihu Escort Agency's own people.

"Han Xun, Guihai Yidao, He Qinghua—you are going too far."

A century-old ancestral legacy about to be destroyed in an instant—Lu Tengkong was truly enraged.

His hands no longer held anything back, unleashing every ounce of his Wu Gong.

Only when he did so did the crowd discover, to their astonishment, that Lu Tengkong, who bore the title of the number one escort under heaven,

had actually reached mid-stage Earthly Celestial Immortal!

"Good! So it's an Earthly Celestial Immortal — then you're worth this old man making a move."

Ghost Saint knew He Qinghua could not take down Lu Tengkong, so he launched himself and attacked directly.

"Yin Wind Palm!"

Wave after wave of ripples rose from his palm.

They stirred the air into trembling, and in the blink of an eye, struck before Lu Lin.

Lu Tengkong was utterly bewildered — why was Ghost Saint not dealing with him, but deliberately targeting Lu Lin instead?

Though puzzled in his heart, his hands did not stay idle.

A blade swept out sideways; with all his might, he barely managed to block the Yin Wind Palm.

"Pa!"

But Ghost Saint's attack had been blocked, while He Qinghua's whip curved around,

actually passing over Lu Tengkong and lashing Lu Lin again.

This time, it shredded Lu Lin's entire upper garment.

"Stop!"

Just as Lu Lin was bearing a heavy burden, an extraordinarily beautiful woman appeared abruptly, carrying a zither case on her back.

She struck out with two palms in reverse — one sent He Qinghua stumbling back more than ten steps, the other blocked Ghost Saint's follow-up attack.

"Hehe! You've finally shown yourself."

Dongfang Bai, who had not spoken until now, beamed and stared at the woman as he said,

"On your back is the Heavenly Demon Zither, isn't it?"

"Did you lure me out on purpose?"

The woman sealed Lu Lin's acupoints, fed him a pill, then handed him over to Lu Tengkong.

Only then did she turn her head, her expression indifferent as she looked at the Liudazhang Sect.

"Huang Xuemei! Naturally we lured you out."

Blazing Fire Ancestor also smiled without mirth,

"What we want is only the Heavenly Demon Zither. As long as you hand it over, we'll leave at once. How about it?"

"How did you know about the relationship between Lu Lin and me?"

Huang Xuemei answered a question with a question.
