Wife and daughter held hostage

Upon hearing this news, the light of hope in Bai Junhao's eyes instantly extinguished.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and his voice carried undeniable authority: "Brother Liu, you should go treat the others outside the Great Hall first. Yaogu Valley Master, you go with him."

Liu Heguang was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement.

He knew that at this moment, Bai Junhao needed some private space to process this cruel reality.

So, he turned and walked towards the outside of the Great Hall, with the Yaogu Valley Master following closely behind.

After Liu Heguang and the Yaogu Valley Master left, the atmosphere inside the Great Hall immediately became heavy.

Bai Kimihiro's expression was unpredictable, and his eyes flickered with complex light.

He looked around and whispered to the people beside him, "Do you think what Liu Heguang said is true? Is the ginseng fruit really used up?"

Xuan Qing frowned in thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I always feel like something is off. Liu Qisheng and Liu Heguang have a close relationship. Could it be that Liu Qisheng is interfering and deliberately not treating Brother Bai?"

"Now that you mention it, that's very possible." A gleam flashed in Bai Junhao's eyes: "Liu Qisheng might be worried that we will affect the status of the Qingxin Sect, so he wants to use this opportunity to get rid of us."

Just then, a burly man whispered a suggestion: "How about we go look for Liu Heguang's wife and daughter? If we capture them, maybe we can force Liu Heguang to comply."

Bai Junhao's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

He turned and instructed the crowd, "A few of you, go search for the whereabouts of Liu Heguang's wife and daughter. Remember, act carefully and don't alert them."

Meanwhile, at Moon Spirit's residence.

The Rotten Wood Staff floated in the air, emitting a faint green light.

Zhao Yuwei lay on the bed, her body trembling slightly, as wisps of silvery-white energy slowly flowed out of her body and were absorbed by the Rotten Wood Staff.

Moon Spirit stood guard nearby, watching this scene nervously.

Her ears perked up, listening carefully to the conversation coming from the next room.

"Liu Qisheng, don't you think these people are going too far?" Liu Fangyi's voice was full of anger: "They were clearly the ones who came looking for trouble first, and now they're pretending to be victims. They're a bunch of hypocrites!"

Liu Qisheng sighed: "Fangyi, I understand your anger. But the situation is complicated now, and we can't act rashly. Liu Heguang is doing all this to protect our Qingxin Sect."

"But..." Liu Fangyi wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by a rush of footsteps.

"This is bad!" A voice came: "People from Liuhuo Mountain Manor have found this place!"

Moon Spirit was startled upon hearing this.

Just as she was about to get up to check the situation, she heard a sharp shout from outside: "Liu Fangyi, Liu Qisheng, you two are really bold, daring to have an affair here!"

"What?!" Liu Fangyi exclaimed: "What nonsense are you talking?!"

Before she finished speaking, a loud bang came, followed by Liu Fangyi's scream.

Moon Spirit could no longer hold back and rushed out of the room.

She saw Liu Fangyi lying on the ground, her chest covered in blood.

A Shenmeng Marsh Elder stood beside her, his long sword dripping with blood.

Liu Qisheng stood in front of Liu Fangyi, his expression solemn.

"You've gone too far!" Liu Qisheng roared: "You injured someone first and then framed us!"

The Shenmeng Marsh Elder sneered: "Hmph, we saw it with our own eyes, how could it be fake? Men, arrest them all!"

Moon Spirit rushed out: "Stop! What are you doing?!"

However, her appearance did not stop the situation from escalating.

The people from Liuhuo Mountain Manor swarmed forward and quickly subdued Liu Qisheng, Liu Fangyi, and Moon Spirit.

The three were held together. Liu Fangyi, enduring the pain, whispered to Moon Spirit, "I'm sorry, I dragged you into this."

Just then, Bai Junhao walked in with a group of people. He looked around, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Very good, it seems we found the right place."

Bai Junhao slowly walked forward, his eyes as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, staring at Liu Heguang.

With a wave of his hand, two subordinates immediately dragged Liu Fangyi and Moon Spirit in front of him.

"Liu Heguang, you really know how to hide." Bai Junhao sneered: "However, do you think you can escape me like this?"

Liu Heguang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Bai Junhao, what exactly do you want?"

Bai Junhao didn't answer, but countered with a question: "What do you think I want?" He suddenly reached out and grabbed Moon Spirit's neck: "I advise you to confess honestly, otherwise, her little life will be hard to save."

Moon Spirit struggled, her face turning red.

Liu Fangyi exclaimed: "Stop! You beast!"

Bai Junhao gave a cold smile and released his hand.

Moon Spirit coughed violently.

"Liu Heguang, I'll ask you one last time." Bai Junhao narrowed his eyes: "Are you in league with the Demon Sect?"

"Absurd!" Liu Heguang roared: "I, Liu Heguang, have lived my life upright and honest, how could I associate with the Demon Sect? Bai Junhao, you are slandering me!"

"Is that so?" A sneer played on Bai Junhao's lips: "Then what about this?" He took out a black token from his embrace: "This is a token of the Demon Sect, and it was found in your room."

Liu Heguang's eyes widened, looking at the token in disbelief.

His heart burned with rage, and he grit his teeth and said, "Bai Junhao, how dare you frame me!"

Bai Junhao was unconcerned, and turned to the people beside him and said, "You all heard it, he won't admit it. It seems we'll have to use some extraordinary means."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Junhao suddenly struck out, hitting Moon Spirit in the chest with a palm.

Moon Spirit screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yue Ling!" Liu Heguang's heart was twisted as if by a knife, and he roared: "Bai Junhao, you beast! If you have the guts, come at me!"

Bai Junhao sneered: "I am coming for you." With that, he struck out with another palm, this time aiming directly at Liu Heguang.

Liu Heguang barely managed to block, but was still shaken back repeatedly by this palm, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Just at this critical moment, a figure rushed into the scene like a gust of wind.

A long sword was seen flashing with cold light, aiming directly at the Shen Meng Ze Sect Leader's throat.

"Clang!" With a clash of metal, the Shen Meng Ze Sect Leader barely dodged this fatal blow, but his neck was still cut by the sword energy, and blood flowed freely.

Everyone looked closely and couldn't help but gasp.

"Xiao Feng!" Moon Spirit exclaimed, surprise in her eyes.

Xiao Feng stood proudly, the Hero Sword in his hand, his gaze like lightning: "Bai Junhao, you are going too far in bullying others!"

Bai Junhao was slightly startled, then sneered: "I wondered who it was, turns out it's you, junior. However, your swordsmanship has improved quite a bit."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Junhao had already moved in like a ghost, striking Xiao Feng's chest with a palm.

Xiao Feng's sword light flashed, barely blocking this palm, but he was shaken back several steps.

"Xiao Feng, hurry and go!" Moon Spirit shouted urgently: "Don't worry about us!"
