Chapter 205: Turmoil Rises Again in the Demonic Cult (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Dongluo Pass, in the Dongluo Tower.

Yu Qiurong lay on the bed, her face extremely pale, her body so thin that she looked like skin and bones.

Her eyes were fixed on Tan Yun, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't utter a word.

Yu Qiurong's Internal Energy was also depleted and weak, her cultivation having regressed to the ordinary First Rank Realm, and it was still showing a tendency to decline.

Seeing this, Tan Yun quickly asked, "Qiu Rong-jie, do you want to say something?"

Yu Qiurong's beautiful face suddenly twisted in pain, dense cold sweat appeared on her forehead, her hands gripped the bedsheet, and her body curled up, seemingly in great agony.

"This… this is…?"

Seeing this, Tan Yun quickly grabbed Yu Qiurong's arm.

When she was at Ji Shi Clinic, she had also studied medicine with An Jing; she wasn't proficient, but she was quite skilled at taking pulses.

Before long, Tan Yun discovered that Yu Qiurong's pulse had a big problem; its frequency was extremely fast and very irregular.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Yu Qiurong spat out a mouthful of blood, and then she fainted.

Tan Yun looked at the black blood on the bedsheet, momentarily stunned, and whispered, "Poison, this is a potent poison. Could someone have poisoned her?"

Almost immediately, Tan Yun came to her senses and rushed out of the room.

Within the Demonic Cult, who could understand poisoning better than the Poison King?

Dongluo Tower, top floor.

In the ancient-style room, Leader Jiang Renyi, who was seated at the head, was frowning with worry.

Even though Qin Bin was willing to send troops to guard Dongluo Pass, and Yuan Feng had also sent his reply, for some reason, Leader Jiang Renyi still felt a bit uneasy.

Leader Jiang Renyi looked at Geng Tianchou below and said, "Is this Ghost Swordsman a madman? Why does he insist on cutting off my head?"

Currently, it was widely rumored in the Jianghu that the Ghost Swordsman would personally cut off the Demonic Cult Leader's head.

What kind of grudge did he have with the Ghost Swordsman!?

When Zhao Qingmei was in power, she had pursued and intercepted the Ghost Swordsman, even ordering his capture alive. He, Leader Jiang Renyi, had rescinded that order, unwilling to make any more enemies with him. Yet, not only was the Ghost Swordsman not grateful, he insisted on coming to kill him at the Demonic Cult.

He even declared to the world that he would cut off his head with a single sword strike.

Leader Jiang Renyi felt extremely wronged at the moment, completely taking the blame for the mess Zhao Qingmei had left behind.

Geng Tianchou whispered, "Leader, please rest assured. Chief Qin's seventy thousand Black Armored soldiers are well-equipped. Their armor and weapons were made with great effort and expense, and they are equipped according to the standards of the Yan State's imperial palace guards, specifically designed to deal with Jianghu experts. With the numerous Demonic Cult members and experts, the Ghost Swordsman will surely not return alive."

There were many experts in the Demonic Cult. Yi Daoyun was a Sword Immortal of the One Qi Grandmaster Realm. Lin Tianhai, newly entering the Grandmaster Realm, was also a Grandmaster Realm expert. Moreover, Duanmu Xinghua had been in seclusion for many days, attempting to break through to the Two-Qi Realm. She had been at the One Qi Realm for many years, so reaching the Two-Qi Realm should not be difficult.

There were also Elder Yuan Feng and Elder Ouyang Ping of the Demon Sealing Platform, both Two-Qi Peak Grandmaster cultivators. Adding to that, the other experts of the Demonic Cult and the seventy thousand Black Armored soldiers of the Black Tortoise Seat, the Demonic Cult was armed to the teeth, so Geng Tianchou was not too worried.

"If my father were here, that would be great."

Leader Jiang Renyi took a deep breath and said.

Jiang Shang was already at the Three-Qi Realm several years ago, and his cultivation might have already reached the Four-Qi Realm. In the current world, the only one who could defeat Jiang Shang was that old turtle hiding in the deep waters.

With him guarding Dongluo Pass, how could the Ghost Swordsman dare to come?

Geng Tianchou wondered, "Logically speaking, the Ghost Swordsman's denunciation of the Demonic Cult has spread throughout the world. It's impossible for Old Leader Jiang Shang not to know."

Leader Jiang Renyi's face was grim, and he did not speak.

He understood Jiang Shang's personality best. In Jiang Shang's eyes, nothing was more important than him achieving longevity, including his own life.

"Leader Jiang, this is bad!"

Just then, Tan Yun hurried in from outside the door.

"Impudent!"

Leader Jiang Renyi frowned and shouted, "Tan Yun, how dare you! Don't you know that you cannot enter this Leader's study without my permission?"

Tan Yun was startled by the shout, then quickly said, "Leader, Chief Yu is poisoned and seems to be on the verge of death."

Leader Jiang Renyi raised an eyebrow. He had clearly given Yu Qiurong a very small dose. It seemed that Hongyan Zui (Beauty's Intoxication) was indeed extraordinary.

Geng Tianchou, however, whispered from the side, "Leader, Yu Qiurong cannot die yet."

Zhao Qingmei still held the Nine Nether Purgatory Demonic Codex. If Yu Qiurong died, there would be no opportunity to threaten Zhao Qingmei into giving up this top-tier Demonic Mind-Cultivation Technique.

Leader Jiang Renyi said in a deep voice, "Take the Poison King to see her. Save her first."

"Yes!"

Geng Tianchou turned and walked out the door.

Tan Yun breathed a sigh of relief and followed Geng Tianchou, preparing to find the Poison King.

But the next moment, she noticed Geng Tianchou's steps suddenly halt. She couldn't help but say, "Protector Geng, why aren't you moving?"

Geng Tianchou didn't speak, his steps even retreating in terror.

Leader Jiang Renyi also looked at the scene before him in astonishment.

At the doorway was a dark,幽黑色 mist. The black mist was mysterious and eerie; looking at it for a few more seconds made one's heart tremble.

And within that black mist, there was a figure.

The figure in the black mist was unclear, but Geng Tianchou was extremely familiar with this black mist. This was precisely the Mind-Cultivation Technique from the Nine Nether Purgatory Demonic Codex that Zhao Qingmei had once used.

"You, you…"

Geng Tianchou's mind went blank; he couldn't speak at all.

This was the Nine Nether Purgatory Demonic Codex!?

Leader Jiang Renyi's brow was filled with fear and surprise. Could it be Zhao Qingmei?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could she have escaped from the Demon Sealing Well?

Even his own father, Jiang Shang, and the Grand Elder of the Demon Sealing Platform dared not enter the Demon Sealing Well a second time. This was a lesson of the Demonic Cult; no one could enter the Demon Sealing Well a second time and come out alive.

Leader Jiang Renyi feigned composure and said, "Who exactly are you?"

"You don't recognize me?"

Zhao Qingmei stepped forward gracefully, her clear voice carrying a hint of ethereal charm.

Boom!

Upon hearing this voice, Leader Jiang Renyi's mind was struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

Zhao Qingmei!

How could he not be familiar with that voice!?

"Zhao… Zhao…"

Geng Tianchou's eyes were also wide, filled with disbelief.

Wasn't Zhao Qingmei trapped in the Demon Sealing Well? Wasn't it said that she could never get out?

But the person appearing alive before him at this moment, if not Zhao Qingmei, then who was it!?

"Leader!"

Compared to the two's terror, Tan Yun's eyes showed a hint of overjoyed surprise.

Although Zhao Qingmei's temperament was cold and indifferent, there was a sense of reassuring security about her that was unlike Leader Jiang Renyi, who could take her life at any moment.

Moreover, her Master Li Fuzhou had once told her to follow Zhao Qingmei, at least her life wouldn't be in much danger.

Leader Jiang Renyi's mind raced, but his face remained calm as he said, "Junior Sister, I thought you were in the Demon Sealing Well and would never have a chance to come out again in this life."

Zhao Qingmei narrowed her eyes and said, "If I couldn't get out, you planned to eliminate dissent and threaten me to get the Nine Nether Purgatory Demonic Codex?"

As for Leader Jiang Renyi becoming the Demonic Cult Leader, her heart didn't have much fluctuation. After all, from others' perspective, she was trapped in the Demon Sealing Well for life, so the Demonic Cult electing a new Leader was acceptable.

But Leader Jiang Renyi using Yu Qiurong's life to threaten her into handing over the Nine Nether Purgatory Demonic Codex, this had crossed her bottom line.

Leader Jiang Renyi's expression was ugly, and he did not speak.

Zhao Qingmei looked at Geng Tianchou, who had remained silent, "Protector Geng, what do you think?"

"I… I…"

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Geng Tianchou's forehead. He not only knew about Leader Jiang Renyi's actions but also diligently carried them out.

It could be said that among the current Demonic Cult, apart from a few experts of the Earth Sect, he was Leader Jiang Renyi's most trusted confidant.

He had not only watched but also acted.

Seeing this, Leader Jiang Renyi immediately shouted, "Protector Geng, why are you afraid of her? I am the Demonic Cult Leader now!"

Geng Tianchou hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

Anyone could see who had a brighter future between Zhao Qingmei and Leader Jiang Renyi.

If Zhao Qingmei hadn't been trapped in the Demon Sealing Well, Leader Jiang Renyi would never have had a chance to rise. Now that Zhao Qingmei was free, Leader Jiang Renyi's position as Leader was likely unstable.

"Protector Geng, do you still remember what I once said?"

Zhao Qingmei said indifferently when Geng Tianchou did not speak, "I, Zhao Qingmei, hate traitors the most."

Geng Tianchou remained silent, not uttering another word.

Leader Jiang Renyi's brow furrowed, and his tone softened slightly, "Junior Sister, you brought great disaster upon the Demonic Cult. Now is a moment of life and death for the Cult. How about we sit down and talk properly first?"

Zhao Qingmei shook her head and said, "I have nothing to say to you."

"Must we make such a big deal out of this?"

Leader Jiang Renyi sighed on his face, but his Internal Energy rapidly gathered from his Dantian into his arm.

Zhao Qingmei naturally noticed Leader Jiang Renyi's small movements, "I'll give you two one chance, but only one move."

"Is that so?"

Leader Jiang Renyi's expression darkened, then he exchanged glances with Geng Tianchou.

A cold glint also appeared in Geng Tianchou's eyes, and he quickly rushed towards the black mist.

As the second most skilled expert of the Demonic Cult's Heaven Sect, Geng Tianchou's cultivation was naturally not poor. He had already reached the Peak of Half-Step Grandmaster, just one step away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm.

However, compared to Li Fuzhou, who suppressed his Realm, Geng Tianchou was unable to break through to that level and could only remain at Half-Step Grandmaster.

"Boom!"

His footsteps pressed forward, and faintly, the sound of a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry could be heard.

With the Dragon-Tiger Footwork, each step forward increased his punch strength by the force of one tiger, up to a maximum of nine steps.

The entire room was instantly enveloped by a powerful Qi, as if a fierce tiger had descended from the mountain, tearing towards the black mist.

Leader Jiang Renyi's gaze was also slightly cold. He drew a long saber, and with Internal Energy infused, the blade reflected a cold light like moonlight.

Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, and a bone-chilling coldness assailed them.

He saw his body leap, like an eagle spreading its wings, and his long saber chopped downwards.

The saber strike was as swift and fierce as a thunderbolt, descending with a whistling sound that tore through the air.

The two Half-Step Grandmasters struck with incredible speed, almost in a flash of lightning.

Zhao Qingmei took a step forward, blocking in front of Tan Yun, then extended two icy light blades from within the black mist.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

These two cold lights were extremely fast, emerging from the darkness and then vanishing back into it.

The fiercely charging evil tiger was instantly pierced through.

"Oh no!"

Leader Jiang Renyi, striking later, clearly retained a trace of strength. The moment he saw the cold light approaching, he felt a sense of danger. He immediately grabbed Geng Tianchou's body and used him as a shield in front of himself.

"Pfft!"

The two blade lights directly pierced through Geng Tianchou's throat and his lower abdomen.

Leader Jiang Renyi used the brief moment to leap towards the window frame, his right hand also pulling out a black pellet the size of a pigeon's egg.

"Trying to run?"

Zhao Qingmei twirled her mandarin duck blades, and the blade light once again closed in on Leader Jiang Renyi's right arm.

"Screech!"

Leader Jiang Renyi gritted his teeth and fiercely smashed the black pellet down. At the same time, the blade light had already struck, directly severing his right arm.

"Hiss—!"

A huge wave of pain instantly assailed him. Leader Jiang Renyi forcefully endured the pain and leaped out of the room.

Zhao Qingmei's willow-like brows furrowed. Her True Qi transformed into a black ocean, surging towards the black pellet in front of her.

The black pellet instantly collided with the True Qi, and a hidden lightning force vibrated from within. Zhao Qingmei took three steps back before stopping her retreat.

"Leader, are you alright?"

Tan Yun finally came to her senses and asked.

"I'm fine."

Zhao Qingmei said indifferently.

This black pellet was the Black Gold Thunder Pellet, left by Jiang Shang for Leader Jiang Renyi's protection.

Its power was immense; if the full force of the lightning had been unleashed, the entire Dongluo Tower would have been destroyed.

Zhao Qingmei had to use all her True Qi to completely block and dissipate the force within it.

Although Jiang Renyi had escaped, his right arm was severed, and seven or eight tenths of his cultivation was gone, so he could no longer make any waves.

Killing Jiang Renyi was not her goal; Jiang Shang, who was behind Jiang Renyi, was.

Tan Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Geng Tianchou lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the direction Jiang Renyi had fled, blood continuously flowing from his neck.

Zhao Qingmei said indifferently, "Not listening to others is your biggest fatal flaw."

Geng Tianchou opened his mouth, but the regret in his heart could not be expressed, and after a few whimpers, he completely stopped breathing.

"What happened?!"

Just then, Lin Tianhai, leading several Demonic Cult experts, rushed over upon hearing the sound.

When he entered the room, he immediately saw Geng Tianchou lying on the ground, a severed arm nearby, and Zhao Qingmei in white standing in the distance.

"Leader… Leader?!"

Lin Tianhai was both surprised and delighted to see the person who appeared, "You came out of the Demon Sealing Well?"

He never dreamed that Zhao Qingmei would be able to emerge from the Demon Sealing Well.

The other experts were also excited, as Jiang Renyi becoming the Leader was only a secondary plan, while Zhao Qingmei was the Demonic Cult's top choice.

Jiang Renyi could at most preserve the Demonic Cult, but Zhao Qingmei was the one who had the chance to make the Demonic Cult stand tall in the world; everyone present was well aware of this.

Now that Zhao Qingmei had emerged, the hope of the Demonic Cult was reignited.

"Mhm."

Zhao Qingmei nodded slightly, looked at Tan Yun, and said, "First, take me to see Yu Qiurong. We can discuss other matters later."

"Yes."

Tan Yun heard this and quickly led Zhao Qingmei towards Yu Qiurong's residence.

As everyone entered the room, they saw Yu Qiurong lying on the bed, along with the blood on the bed.

Zhao Qingmei's expression darkened when she saw the emaciated Yu Qiurong, then she extended her palm, and True Qi immediately surged out towards Yu Qiurong's body.

"What powerful True Qi."

Lin Tianhai was startled, thinking that the Leader's cultivation had improved again, and she was probably not far from the Two-Qi Grandmaster Realm.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianhai was both shocked and ecstatic.

With such a Leader, the Demonic Cult was bound to flourish in the future.

"Hongyan Zui (Beauty's Intoxication)?!"

Zhao Qingmei's brows immediately furrowed as she detected the potent poison within Yu Qiurong's body.

She was very familiar with this poison; it was colorless and odorless, could lie dormant within a person's body, and the larger the dose, the faster it would act.

Once it flared up, it was like thousands of poisonous insects gnawing at the internal organs, and there was no antidote that could completely cure it. At this moment, Zhao Qingmei's True Qi only temporarily suppressed the onset of the poison.

After about half an incense stick's time, Zhao Qingmei withdrew her True Qi and said faintly, "Let her rest well first."

"Yes."

Tan Yun nodded.

"Leader."

Lin Tianhai cupped his fists, hesitating to speak.

"No need to say more. Let this matter rest; I will not pursue it."

Zhao Qingmei waved her hand, slowly sat down, and asked, "When I entered Dongluo Pass, I found the city gates tightly shut and the city heavily guarded. Why is that?"

Ever since Jiang Renyi became the Demonic Cult Leader, she had lost all channels for external news.

Lin Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a grave expression, "Leader, while you were trapped in the Demon Sealing Well, two major events occurred in the world. The first was that Zongzheng Huachun's seventh son died in Jade Capital City, and Later Jin and Great Yan went to war. Now, the Northern Wilderness Road is engulfed in flames, and they have been fighting for more than a month."

"The second is that Ghost Swordsman has rallied experts from all over the Jianghu to flatten our Demonic Cult."

Zhao Qingmei's beautiful eyes narrowed into a slit, "Ghost Swordsman to flatten the Demonic Cult?!"

She remembered that Ghost Swordsman was only a Half-Step Grandmaster, and even with a Black Dragon by his side, it would be impossible for him to break into Dongluo Pass. Why was the Cult so nervous?

"Leader, have some tea."

Tan Yun poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table, then stood obediently beside Zhao Qingmei.

With Li Fuzhou gone, Zhao Qingmei's strong arm gave her a great sense of security; at least she didn't feel utterly helpless deep down inside.

And she had long been accustomed to such a life.

Lin Tianhai explained, "Leader, Ghost Swordsman's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds recently. He killed Qi Shu in the Later Jin Golden Eagle Banner's main camp, and his cultivation has already reached the Grandmaster Realm, but his strength can rival a Two-Qi Grandmaster."

The higher the Realm, the fewer people there are who can challenge across Realms.

Because most experts who reach the Grandmaster Realm are the proudest talents of their generation, and many of them were previously able to defeat experts across Realms.

And upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, each level is like a towering mountain.

Lin Tianhai felt this deeply, so for Ghost Swordsman to defeat Qi Shu across Realms was truly terrifying.

Zhao Qingmei listened, taking a sip of tea without speaking.

Lin Tianhai continued, "Not only that, but Ghost Swordsman also brought many experts this time, including Luo Chongyang, Vajra Puwen, and his Black Dragon. Feng Lingyue even created momentum for him. Many experts who had grievances with our Demonic Cult have jumped out, ready to kick us while we're down, and Ghost Swordsman even publicly declared that he would take the head of our Demonic Cult Leader."

At this point, Lin Tianhai cautiously glanced at Zhao Qingmei.

Tan Yun, at her side, was pacing anxiously, wanting to say something, but felt insignificant and didn't know how to speak.

"Interesting."

Zhao Qingmei was not angry; instead, she smiled, "No wonder Jiang Renyi looked so troubled. So it's because this Ghost Swordsman wants to take his head."

Lin Tianhai coughed twice and said, "Ahem, ahem, Leader, Jiang Renyi had not offended Ghost Swordsman before, and even after he took power, he canceled all bounties on Ghost Swordsman, wanting to befriend him. I think it must be past grievances. After careful consideration recently, it's possible that the order for the Leader to capture Ghost Swordsman alive was leaked, and Ghost Swordsman is resentful…"

Lin Tianhai wanted to say that Ghost Swordsman might not want Jiang Renyi's head, but rather hers, Leader.

When Zhao Qingmei was the Leader, she was very low-key and reserved; even some core cult members didn't know the Leader's exact appearance or age.

But when Jiang Renyi became the Leader, he couldn't wait to tell this news to the whole world.

The change of Leader within the Demonic Cult was so confusing that let alone outsiders, even some cult members were sometimes bewildered, only able to receive orders through a hierarchical chain of command based on tokens.

If Jiang Renyi hadn't spread the word that he was the Demonic Cult Leader, many places with poor information would still believe that Jiang Shang was the Demonic Cult Leader.

Therefore, Jiang Renyi ended up taking the blame for Zhao Qingmei.

Zhao Qingmei's smile deepened, but everyone present felt a chill.

Lin Tianhai asked in a low voice, "Leader, so many experts are coming; we cannot underestimate them."

"Aside from the experts invited by Ghost Swordsman, the rest are just a disorganized mob, including Feng Lingyue."

Zhao Qingmei said faintly, "Once Ghost Swordsman dies, this rabble will disperse. This is a good opportunity for our Demonic Cult to eliminate some hidden dangers."

In an instant, Zhao Qingmei had formulated a strategy, even believing that this situation was not a bad thing for the Demonic Cult, but rather a good thing.

She even had to thank Ghost Swordsman for delivering these people's heads to the Demonic Cult.

Lin Tianhai said in a deep voice, "Ghost Swordsman's strength is extremely high; it will be very difficult to kill him."

"Doesn't he want 'Jiang Renyi's' head? I'll give him a chance."

Zhao Qingmei's gaze was cold, "You go spread the news now, saying that the head of Demonic Cult Leader 'Jiang Renyi' is here, and invite him to come and take it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianhai's eyes widened, and his heart surged with excitement, vaguely guessing the Leader's strategy of replacing the real with the fake.

Jiang Renyi was a Half-Step Grandmaster. If, during Jiang Renyi's challenge to Ghost Swordsman, Jiang Renyi suddenly became a 'One Qi Grandmaster,' it was very possible to catch Ghost Swordsman off guard and kill him.

As Zhao Qingmei said, if Ghost Swordsman died, then the Jianghu people behind him would just be a bunch of fair-weather friends, and they would disperse.

Lin Tianhai cupped his fists and said, "Leader, I'll go now."

"Wait."

Zhao Qingmei thought of something, "You should also inform Yi Daoyun, Duanmu Xinghua, and others to come to the Demonic Heaven Palace at Xu hour for an audience. I have important matters to discuss with them. Keep it a secret from others for now."

"Yes."

Lin Tianhai took a deep breath, then led several Demonic Cult experts and turned to leave.

Immediately, only Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun remained in the entire room.

By careful calculation, the two had not seen each other for more than half a year.

Zhao Qingmei asked in a deep voice, "What happened in Yu Prefecture City?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Yun buried her head in her ample chest and wailed, "Young Master… was killed by Old Leader Jiang Shang."

Zhao Qingmei asked expressionlessly, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Tan Yun quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, but the news I got was that that kid Han Wenxin buried Young Master. The matter should be true."

Zhao Qingmei clenched her fists. She always felt that something was amiss, including the paper effigy and the familiar aura within the Heaven Flipping Seal.

Thinking of this, she whispered, "Send an urgent secret letter to the Human Sect spies, and have them open my husband's coffin to take a look."

"Ah–!"

Tan Yun was completely stunned, her mouth agape.

What did the Leader want to do by digging up Young Master's body?

Could it be that the Leader wouldn't even let go of Young Master's corpse?

Wasn't this a bit improper?

Zhao Qingmei raised an eyebrow, "What?!"

"I understand."

Tan Yun repeatedly agreed. She dared not question any of Zhao Qingmei's orders.

Zhao Qingmei took another gentle sip of tea, then glanced at Tan Yun in front of her, "Why aren't you going? What are you standing here for?"

Tan Yun gritted her teeth, hardened her resolve, and said, "Leader, I think Ghost Swordsman is devoted to our Demonic Cult. He once told me he wanted to join the Demonic Cult."

"Join the Demonic Cult?"

Zhao Qingmei looked at Tan Yun with interest, "You didn't reveal any Demonic Cult secrets to Ghost Swordsman, did you?"

If Tan Yun, this large-chested, brainless woman, encountered a villain…

Both her head and her body would only be played with in their hands.

"No, absolutely not."

Tan Yun's body trembled, then she immediately vowed, "Leader, I live for the Demonic Cult, and I die for the Demonic Cult. How could I betray it?"

Zhao Qingmei glanced at Tan Yun, then thought of something and asked, "Where is Li Fuzhou? Hasn't he returned from Jade Capital City yet?"

Tan Yun sighed, her voice growing softer, "Master was suppressed on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison."

"The ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison?"

Zhao Qingmei was naturally no stranger to Great Yan's Heavenly Prison, but she hadn't expected Li Fuzhou to be imprisoned there. He must have done something earth-shattering.

"You seem quite happy about it."

Tan Yun's face turned red, and she hastily said, "How could I be? Master's kindness to me is as vast as a mountain; I haven't repaid him yet, haven't seen him through his old age and to his grave…"

Repay him?

Zhao Qingmei heard this, thought of what An Jing had once said, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you repaying him? You're retaliating against him."

Seeing the slight curve of Zhao Qingmei's lips, Tan Yun also chuckled.

Somehow, she also felt a little relieved.

With such a formidable figure as the Leader, she would surely be able to rescue Master in the future.
