Chapter 960

Her heart moved, and she pulled the horse to a stop.

After the carriage stopped, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang bowed to the mountain ridge and the bushes, then said,

"I am Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, the owner of the Number One Manor under Heaven.

I don't know which friend on the road is doing business here?"

She actually noticed the abnormality based on Zhou Zhou Zhiruo's expression and the lack of insects and birds in the dense forest.

She truly didn't know which sect or faction of the martial arts world was lurking in the dark, or if they were bandits of the green forest.

Therefore, she simply reported her name and said the other party was a bandit.

The dense forest and mountain ridge over there had no response for a long time.

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang felt a little impatient and was preparing to turn the horse's head and exit the mountain hollow.

"Haha! I didn't expect Shangguan Haitang to be so alert."

Just then, a piece of flag appeared on the mountain ridge.

A large group of officials in brocade robes and black boots appeared, surrounding a fair-faced, beardless, and somewhat feminine-looking wealthy person.

"Cao Cao Zhengchun?"

As soon as Shangguan Shangguan Haitang saw the person, she immediately recognized their identity.

"Bold! How dare you call the Supervisor's name directly."

Her address didn't annoy the main person, Cao Cao Zhengchun, but instead annoyed a person dressed in strong attire beside him.

This person shouted loudly, flew up, raised his blade, and slashed over.

Cao Cao Zhengchun just had a warm smile on his face, but he didn't stop him.

Clearly, the distance from the mountain ridge to this mountain hollow was at least a hundred paces.

This person jumped up, took a few steps in the sky, and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang was preparing to counterattack, but unexpectedly, the person's blade move was halfway through, as if he had seen a ghost, and actually withdrew his blade and retreated.

"Zhou, Zhou..."

That person stood not far away with his blade, both terrified and with a trace of stealing joy flashing on his face.

He looked at Zhou Zhou Zhiruo without blinking.

"Eh? He knows me? Which sect of the Great Ming is he from?"

This person's performance was so obvious that Zhou Zhou Zhiruo could see he had recognized her.

It was just that she was originally an unknown Mount Emei disciple, although she already had the cultivation of the Heaven-Human Realm, she rarely walked in the martial arts world.

Even if this person also came from the Great Ming, why did he recognize her?

And why did he look at her so terrified?

Many thoughts flashed through her heart, but Zhou Zhou Zhiruo couldn't flare up, so she just pretended not to know him.

Of course, Zhou Zhou Zhiruo didn't know him either.

"Chizu, what do you mean?"

This person's strange performance made Cao Cao Zhengchun and the factory guards behind him dissatisfied.

Before Cao Cao Zhengchun could speak, a person in white behind him immediately scolded.

This person was one of the eight great experts under Cao Cao Zhengchun, named Luo Luo Jusheng.

"I, I, I..."

Chizu had a full beard and looked like someone who wouldn't lie.

He held it for a long time, then his heart moved, and he said,

"This Shangguan Shangguan Haitang must have used Young Master Chi Lian Wuhen's unique skills and just ambushed me.

Now half of my body feels a bit uncomfortable.

Please forgive me, Supervisor."

Saying this, in order to perform that he was really ambushed, Chizu deliberately stiffened half of his body and replied to the mountain ridge.

"Pfft..."

This fake expression and action were truly ridiculous.

It made Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, who was originally worried, couldn't help but laugh.

"You waste!"

Luo Luo Jusheng was furious and scolded, but he was still not relieved and wanted to scold again.

Cao Cao Zhengchun spoke lightly,

"Alright, Young Master Chi Lian Wuhen is a giant in the martial arts world today.

One of the experts who can fight with me in the world.

His unique skills are indeed not to be underestimated.

Little Chi! Go back and rest!"

"Eunuch..."

Luo Luo Jusheng didn't know why Cao Cao Zhengchun covered for Chizu, and was afraid that Cao Cao Zhengchun was deceived, so he was preparing to remonstrate.

Cao Cao Zhengchun didn't turn around and flicked his fingers lightly at Luo Luo Jusheng.

Luo Luo Jusheng understood and closed his mouth.

"Yes! Thank you for your consideration, Supervisor."

Seeing that his lie, full of loopholes, had actually deceived Cao Cao Zhengchun, Chizu also felt relieved.

He deliberately limped and returned to the mountain ridge.

"Cao Cao Zhengchun, are you bringing your Eastern Depot dogs to lose face in front of me?"

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang didn't care at all that Cao Cao Zhengchun had many people, and actually called the other party a dog directly.

The factory guards who were usually arrogant and domineering were all gnashing their teeth.

But with the Factory Supervisor in front, without his word, no one dared to do anything excessive.

"Shangguan Haitang is really joking."

Cao Cao Zhengchun didn't take her bait and just smiled lightly, saying,

"The reason I brought people here this time is that your Dragon-Protecting Villa has gone too far."

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

"What are you saying, I don't understand.

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

In a panic, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang prepared to shake the reins and drive the carriage away from this place.

She knew that Cao Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to take action against her without an imperial decree.

"Amitabha! Where is Benefactor Shangguan going?"

Just then, a few figures walked out from the dense forest in front.

The leader was a tall, majestic monk with white eyebrows.

He wore a large red cassock, and those following him were all martial artists from various sects.

"Master Liaofan?"

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang saw the person clearly, was happy at first, then frowned.

Happy was naturally because before Liaokong passed away, he had always asked Shangguan Shangguan Haitang to take Benefactor Guihai Guihai Yidao to find Liaofan.

He said Liaofan had a way to help Benefactor Guihai Guihai Yidao get rid of the control of the evil energy of Hegemonic World.

Frowning was because the time and place of seeing Liaofan were truly inappropriate.

This time Liaofan led so many martial artists and appeared at the same time as Cao Cao Zhengchun.

Clearly, they were not coming with good intentions.

"It is I."

Liaofan replied,

"Benefactor Shangguan, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Returning to the capital."

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang immediately told a lie.

Anyway, she was the owner of the Number One Manor under Heaven, a person of the Iron-Clad Marquis. ===== CHAPTER 961 =====
