Internal strife

Huaisheng was killed by Liu Hu with a single palm strike and casually discarded into a nearby pool.

It happened that the city was in chaos, and almost no one would discover that he had died here.

Arriving at the Great Hall, Bai Junhao led Liu Hu to the side and placed the letter in his hand.

"You must deliver this letter to the people of Three Immortals Island exactly as it is. You absolutely cannot lose it along the way."

The handwriting was Ouyang Mingyue's handwriting. He believed that the people of Three Immortals Island would be able to recognize it with just one look.

Seeing that Bai Junhao didn't have time to leave, Liu Hu readily agreed, took the letter, and traveled overnight.

A few days later, Bai Junhao was sitting in the Great Hall reading scrolls when a rift suddenly opened before his eyes.

"Bang..."

An old man wearing a white robe walked out from inside, his Face full of anger.

"Bai Junhao, our Three Immortals Island entrusted her to you with such confidence, so why did you lose her?"

Looking up, he quickly walked over to the old man and bowed: "She hasn't even reached our Liuhuo Mountain Manor yet, so this responsibility can't be mine, can it?"

The old man heard that Bai Junhao actually had the nerve to shirk responsibility, and walked up to him: "Oh? It's not yours? Could it be mine?"

She was lost within the city, so Bai Junhao definitely needed to bear all the responsibility.

"Creak..."

The Great Hall door was pushed open, and many Sect powerhouses walked in from the entrance.

When they saw that there were other people in the courtyard, they exchanged glances, their Faces full of awkwardness.

"This..."

"Pause the punitive plan. I have something to discuss with you later. You should leave first."

The Sect disciples at the entrance exchanged glances, readily agreed, and closed the door behind them.

"Island Master Ao Guang, the letter Liu Hu delivered has an address on it. How about we follow that address and go take a look?"

Ao Guang heard that Bai Junhao hadn't even started the rescue yet, and was somewhat displeased, giving him a look.

"If anything happens to her, I guarantee I will make your entire Liuhuo Mountain Manor pay the price."

As soon as he said that, Bai Junhao's Face became extremely ugly.

The strength of Three Immortals Island and their Liuhuo Mountain Manor should be quite similar, and neither side had the ability to do anything to the other.

But right now, Ao Guang was speaking completely like he was giving orders to a subordinate, which made him feel very angry.

To prevent the relationship between the two Sects from deteriorating, Bai Junhao had to find a reasonable excuse.

"The reason I waited was just because I felt we could bring the Sect Heads of those Sects along, which would give us more confidence."

Ao Guang learned that the Sect Heads of those Sects could follow behind them, and his expression improved considerably.

Being able to take action and abduct Ouyang Mingyue clearly showed a certain level of strength.

Otherwise, relying solely on the strength of one person, they could never be a match for their two Sects.

"Gather them as quickly as possible. We'll set off now."

She had been in Xiao Feng's hands for quite some time, and he was very worried that Xiao Feng had already killed her.

No matter what, Ouyang Mingyue was a member of their Sect, and she absolutely could not be allowed to die outside.

Bai Junhao readily agreed and quickly walked towards the door.

As expected, the Sect Heads and Elders of those Sects were very curious and were all standing here.

Judging by their appearance, it seemed they were all waiting for Bai Junhao of Liuhuo Mountain Manor to come out.

When they saw that he had come out, they all stepped forward, their Faces full of curiosity.

"You asked us to come here, but then you made us wait for you at the door. What is this all about?"

Bai Junhao took out a letter, his Face full of ferocity.

"People from the Demon Sect actually abducted Ouyang Mingyue of Three Immortals Island, attempting to delay our progress."

"What did you say? They actually had the audacity to come here and abduct someone? We must settle the score with them."

The crowd was enraged, wishing everyone could take action.

Ao Guang saw that he had stirred up everyone's emotions with just a few words, and nodded with a smile on his Face.

If these people weren't following behind, Ao Guang might have caused trouble for him.

Following the address on the letter, dozens of Sect Heads followed behind him, standing beside this small hill.

"Why isn't there even a single person here?"

Bai Junhao frowned slightly: "Wait here. Maybe they are observing us from the shadows."

Beside him, Ao Guang rushed up to Bai Junhao, his Face becoming extremely grim.

"If anything happens to Ouyang Mingyue, I will definitely not spare your life."

Bai Junhao understood that she was lost on his territory, and he had to bear all the responsibility.

"This is indeed the responsibility of our Liuhuo Mountain Manor. I guarantee that absolutely nothing will happen to her."

"Guarantee? What can you guarantee us with?"

Seeing Ao Guang's aggressive appearance, Bai Junhao felt he had lost Face in front of these people.

"You're going too far."

His voice sounded extremely angry, as if he intended to attack Ao Guang.

Three Immortals Island and Liuhuo Mountain Manor were originally Sects of the same level, and the powerhouses within them were almost identical.

However, Ao Guang did not notice Bai Junhao's abnormality, and remained aggressive, letting out a cold snort.

"She was lost here with you. Shouldn't you find her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Junhao was not going to tolerate it any longer.

The Spirit Energy in his hand had long since gathered, and he slammed a fierce palm strike towards his head.

If Ao Guang hadn't reacted quickly, this blow would have likely taken half his life.

Ao Guang saw that he actually intended to attack him, and his Face became extremely ugly.

"You want to kill me?"

Bai Junhao let out a cold laugh: "Since you can make me lose Face in front of so many people, there's no need for me to tolerate you either."

"Bang..."

They clashed several times in succession, and both sides retreated several steps simultaneously. Neither side had the ability to do anything to the other.

However, there were many Sect Heads beside Bai Junhao, and they were all on the side of Liuhuo Mountain Manor.

As long as he gave the order, these people could all attack and surround him.

Seeing the situation gradually worsen, the sound of wind breaking came from not far away.

"Whoosh..."

A familiar figure flashed over from a distance and stood in front of Ao Guang.

When he saw the appearance of the person who arrived clearly, he realized that this person was actually Song Sinian.

"Song Sinian? Didn't I tell you to protect Mingyue? Why are you here? Where is Mingyue?"

Song Sinian heard Ao Guang's words and lowered his head, his Face full of shame.

He honestly recounted what he had done at the tavern, which infuriated everyone present.

Upon second thought, absolutely no one would have the audacity to abduct someone right at the entrance of Liuhuo Mountain Manor.

Ao Guang saw that Song Sinian already knew he was wrong, took a deep breath, and pointed towards Bai Junhao with his chin.

"Go capture him for me, and we'll pretend this matter never happened."

When Song Sinian heard Ao Guang say this, he immediately put on a fierce expression and looked at Bai Junhao, as if he could attack at any moment.

Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient. Bai Junhao didn't even need to exert much effort to injure him.
