The Right Protector sat on the sofa, his shoes still on, his feet resting on the expensive upholstery as he watched a live soccer match on television.
Tian Jue'er suddenly asked, "Right Protector, what kind of organization is that Folklore Research Society?"
The Right Protector replied impatiently, "Just a small, insignificant force. The young master brought us here to suppress them. I don't see how it will take seven days for that Lu Ban descendant named Yan Shouyi to come begging for mercy."
Insignificant?
A small force?
Tian Jue'er felt a pang of disappointment, and her plans for escape were temporarily put on hold.
If Yan Shouyi and his companions were not strong enough, even if she escaped the Financial Building and sought refuge with the Folklore Research Society, when Wu Tianfeng returned and pressured Yan Shouyi, they would still hand her over.
From the Right Protector's tone and expression, it seemed he genuinely didn't take them seriously.
However, while the Right Protector was engrossed in the soccer match, Yan Shouyi and his group quietly infiltrated the hotel corridor.
The four of them moved silently, incapacitating the Crimson Flower Society members they encountered along the way.
They didn't kill them directly. After knocking them unconscious, they forced the special mesmerizing pills refined by Old Jin into their mouths, ensuring they would sleep until the sun rose the next day.
After taking down the last two guards from the folk sect, the four arrived outside the suite door.
A'Gong lowered his voice and said, "This is the one."
"Do I need to tell you what to do?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Everyone nodded.
The people they encountered on the way were not considered strong opponents; if they could be subdued, they would be.
But this suite had at least one master guarding it. If a fight broke out, for the sake of their own safety, necessary lethal force would be employed.
Once everyone was prepared, Yan Shouyi silently grasped the door handle.
The body of the Heavenly Fiend Corpse Puppet gave him the strength of a bull. With a low grunt, Yan Shouyi easily kicked the door open!
"Bang!"
"Who's there?!"
The Right Protector reacted immediately, looking warily towards the entrance.
The moment he saw Yan Shouyi and the other three, the Right Protector's expression changed drastically. "Yan Shouyi?!"
He had been secretly targeting the Folklore Research Society for the past few days. While he might not recognize A'Gong and Luo Ning, he was all too familiar with Yan Shouyi's face.
He hadn't expected that despite their utmost caution, they would still leave traces, and their pursuers would find them!
Upon seeing Yan Shouyi and his group, Tian Jue'er's eyes flickered with a mixture of surprise and joy, then she suddenly calmed down.
If, as the Right Protector had said, Yan Shouyi and his companions were not strong enough and would eventually bow to the Crimson Flower Society, then tonight she absolutely could not ask Yan Shouyi and his group for help, nor could she leave with them!
What she needed to do was find an opportunity to escape amidst the chaos!
The Right Protector regained his composure, a ferocious glint flashing across his face.
"Insolent fools, daring to show up here!"
With that, the Right Protector pulled out a long black staff from under the sofa. A blood-black rag was tied to one end of the staff.
The overwhelming aura of malevolence made Yan Shouyi instantly realize that this Right Protector was also a pallbearer!
Even though he was also a pallbearer, he was so ruthless towards his fellow sect member.
Unforgivable!
Without another word, the Right Protector swung the pallbearing staff, sweeping it towards them!
Luo Ning snorted, "Attack!"
Two Vajra Corpses immediately moved to intercept the pallbearing staff, their arms raised bare-handed to block.
With a dull thud, the two Vajra Corpses were sent flying back two meters. A gust of wind swept through the room, shattering the vase on the table, and the mirror in the bathroom was not spared!
The Vajra Corpses that bore the brunt of the blow had their arm bones shattered, their limbs hanging like strips of cloth, rendering them powerless to resist.
Luo Ning said gravely, "This person's strength is extraordinary. Even my Vajra Corpses cannot withstand it. You must be extremely careful!"
The Vajra Corpses' bodies were as hard as iron. If even they could not withstand it, one could imagine the effect of the Right Protector's pallbearing staff hitting a person.
Yan Shouyi would likely be fine, but someone like A'Gong or Wang Jiwang, no matter which part of their body was hit, would probably explode.
Yan Shouyi made a decisive decision and said to the three, "Luo Ning, stay with me to deal with the pallbearer. The others go capture that girl!"
The girl referred to Tian Jue'er. Yan Shouyi still believed Tian Jue'er was the person in charge of the Crimson Flower Society.
Hearing Yan Shouyi say he wanted to capture her, Tian Jue'er's expression changed slightly.
Did he know my identity, know my purpose?
Or do they want to use me to threaten Wu Tianfeng?!
So this Folklore Research Society was also so wicked!
Tian Jue'er immediately decided not to let Yan Shouyi and his group succeed. She was determined to escape this place by any means necessary!
A'Gong and Wang Jiwang immediately lunged towards Tian Jue'er.
The Right Protector frowned. He couldn't afford to have anything happen to Tian Jue'er.
So he blocked the two with his staff. Wang Jiwang quickly raised his butcher knife to parry, the blade glinting as it forcefully withstood a blow from the Right Protector!
However, the residual shockwaves from their clash still shattered the crystal chandelier above their heads!
The room was plunged into darkness.
Tian Jue'er took the opportunity to hide in the bedroom.
In the darkness, the Right Protector vaguely saw several figures moving around in front of him.
A cold smile touched his lips as he thought, "They're just a bunch of brats. Daring to move around in front of me in this situation is simply courting death!"
The next moment, malevolent energy surged from the pallbearing staff, and the Right Protector unleashed all his strength, striking fiercely at the figures before him!
With a bang, the entire floor trembled. However, after hitting the target, the Right Protector's face changed drastically.
The feeling was wrong!
The Right Protector was intimately familiar with the sensation of his pallbearing staff striking human flesh, having killed countless people with it.
The sensation now was soft and yielding, with no resistance; it was clearly not right!
So the Right Protector grabbed a lighter from the table and threw it forcefully onto the ground.
The lighter exploded, instantly illuminating the scene in the room. The Right Protector was terrified!
Before him lay several paper effigies, sprawled haphazardly. The effigies bore a strong resemblance to Yan Shouyi and his companions, but their pupils were empty, lacking eyeballs!
I've been tricked!
As this thought flashed through the Right Protector's mind, a raging inferno erupted behind him.
"With blood as the guide, and qi as the medium, the heavens and earth are vast, proving my sword heart!
All things in heaven and earth are divine swords; heed my command, vanquish demons and eliminate evil!"
Yan Shouyi, his palm like a blade, ignited a fierce flame and unhesitatingly swung it towards the Right Protector's neck!
With a *poof*, the Right Protector was decapitated, falling stiffly to the ground.
The pallbearing staff in his hand also dropped, and the black malevolent energy was instantly retracted into it.
"Hmph, nothing special."
Yan Shouyi's hands remained unstained by blood. He merely glanced at the Right Protector's corpse, then picked up the pallbearing staff from the ground and tossed it to A'Gong. He then looked towards the bedroom and said,
"Go in and capture the person!"
