NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1322: The Hall Master's Order!
Zhou Yu at this moment also felt immense pressure.
Even a life-or-death crisis.
He firmly protected Lin Luoluo behind him, while quickly pondering ways to escape.
Seeing Zhou Yu's reaction, the leader Zhu Lao let out an angry laugh.
"Zhou Yu, there's no need to overthink. No matter how skilled you are, you won't escape from here today."
"Die for me!!!"
With Zhu Lao's roar,
the five immediately prepared to attack.
But just then, a thunderous shout came through.
"Stop right there!"
Accompanying this shout was a terrifying martial arts will.
At this moment, everyone's movements stalled as they all looked towards the direction of the voice.
They saw Vice Hall Master Li arriving with two Emperor Realm experts, stepping through the air, instantly arriving above the Rong Residence.
The aura of the three Emperor Realm experts enveloped the entire Rong Residence.
Vice Hall Master Li coldly stared at everyone and said:
"By order of the Hall Master."
"Zhou Yu and Miss Lin Luoluo are to go to the main hall to see the Hall Master now."
"No one is to stop them."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's face turned extremely ugly.
He couldn't even continue fighting against Venerable Hong.
After separating, the Second Elder looked at Vice Hall Master Li with bloodshot eyes.
"Li Bonan, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you openly opposing the Ancestor?"
Vice Hall Master Li gave the Second Elder a fleeting glance and then took out a completely jade-green token.
"Rong Fang, take a good look, this is the Hall Master's Token."
"In the Pill God Temple, the Hall Master is supreme. Of course, if you insist on using the Ancestor's name to defy the Hall Master's order, you can go ahead and try."
"You..."
The Second Elder trembled with rage upon seeing the Hall Master Token in Vice Hall Master Li's hand.
Today, he was ready to sacrifice everything to keep Zhou Yu at the Rong Residence.
He had even instructed the five top King Realm experts of the Rong Family to use the Forbidden Technique.
They only needed a maximum of five minutes for Zhou Yu to be dead without a doubt.
By then, handing Lin Luoluo over to the Ancestor, everything would be settled.
Their task would be complete.
Even if the Hall Master personally intervened, it would be the Ancestor who would deal with it.
But right at this critical juncture, Vice Hall Master Li arrived.
All the efforts made by the Rong Family resulted in failure.
The anger in Rong Fang's heart was understandable.
However, Vice Hall Master Li showed no regard for Rong Fang.
"Second Elder, you can now choose to hand over Zhou Yu."
"Or, you can continue to make a move."
"The choice is yours."
"It's up to you to decide."
With that, Vice Hall Master Li calmly watched Rong Fang with his hands behind his back.
The Rong family members, especially Rong Wanlun and Rong Linjiang, were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They urgently looked at Rong Fang, hoping he would give the order so they could immediately kill Zhou Yu and capture Lin Luoluo.
However, Rong Fang did not give the order.
Instead, his expression kept changing, fists clenched, eyes flickering with intense anger.
Soon, however, that anger was forcibly suppressed by him.
Rong Fang steeled his face and waved his hand:
"Let them go!"
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Rong Wanlun and Rong Linjiang immediately exclaimed anxiously.
But Rong Fang shouted in response.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Let them go!"
This shout left Rong Wanlun and his son trembling in fear.
Despite the hatred and unwillingness in their hearts, they could only follow orders.
Rong Wanlun gestured at Zhu Lao and the others, who were almost bursting with suppressed energy, having reached the peak of their aura, yet were now told to hold back.
It was as if someone had excited them with Viagra, only to take the beauty away now that the effect was at its peak.
The pain they felt was indescribable.
"Ahhh—"
Zhu Lao and the others let out cries of agony, then stepped into the air heading towards the rear mountain of Rong Residence.
Mere moments later, sounds of a landslide came from the rear mountain.
However, none of this concerned Zhou Yu anymore.
Zhou Yu held Lin Luoluo's hand and came in front of Rong Wanlun, speaking coldly:
"Where is Shen Yin?"
Rong Wanlun, almost exploding with anger, had no friendly expression to offer.
He shouted:
"The Hall Master's order was for you to leave, not to take Shen Yin."
After speaking, Rong Wanlun angrily gazed at Vice Hall Master Li.
"Vice Hall Master Li, if I heard correctly, the Hall Master didn't say anything about meeting a Shen Yin, right?"
Currently, Shen Yin was Rong Wanlun and the Rong Family's last defiance.
If Shen Yin was also taken away, the Rong Family's face would be entirely lost.
Therefore, regardless of damaging relations with the Hall Master, Rong Wanlun would contend with Vice Hall Master Li.
Vice Hall Master Li calmly replied:
"Indeed, the Hall Master did not mention requiring anyone aside from Zhou Yu and Miss Lin Luoluo."
Hearing this, Rong Wanlun laughed angrily and said to Zhou Yu:
"You heard that, right?"
"Take your woman and get lost!"
"Get out of my Rong Family."
However, just as he finished speaking, Vice Hall Master Li continued:
"However, as far as I know, Miss Shen Yin comes from the Shen Family of Dragon Country Capital."
"And the Shen Family is one of the top families in Dragon Country."
"So what?" Rong Wanlun shouted.
"Why should our Rong Family fear just any outside family?"
Vice Hall Master Li continued:
"Indeed, the Rong Family has no reason to fear any outside family."
"But the Shen Family is somewhat unique."
"One of the Ten Great Divine Kings of Dragon Country, the Gray Mang Divine King, is from the Shen Family."
Upon hearing this, Rong Wanlun's face immediately froze.
His Rong Family indeed feared no outside family, not even the top forces from the Dragon Country Capital.
The strength shown by the Rong Family earlier was enough to annihilate any top force in the Capital.
However, the Ten Great Divine Kings were the only ones the Rong Family dared not offend.
Each of the Ten Great Divine Kings was at the Emperor Realm Peak level.
It wasn't that any hidden sect feared a top Emperor Realm expert, but offending one Divine King meant offending all ten.
No hidden sect would dare to provoke the Ten Great Divine Kings.
At this moment, the Second Elder, who had been silent, twitched at the corner of his eyes and shouted lowly.
"Release them!"
