Looking at the tall, red, and lacquered door in front of her, Zhu Ziyang was stunned for a moment, but soon a cold glint flashed through her eyes.

"Wen Zhongming!"

Zhu Zi's pretty face was frosted over and her eyes were ice-cold.

If she had hesitated before, even though Wen Zhongming was only her foster father and had forced her to marry her 'second brother', but no matter what, Wen Zhongming had adopted her when she was alone and helpless. If not for Wen Zhongming, she would have become a pile of dried up bones by the side of the road.

However, the truth of the matter was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, causing her entire body to feel ice-cold.

Wen Zhongming was actually her enemy, and an absolutely irreconcilable one at that!

At the same time, when Wen Zhongming adopted her, it was only because he suspected that her parents hid even more treasures somewhere for her to obtain clues from her that he allowed her to live so long without silencing her!

Zhu Ziyang sneered. In this case, she really had to thank Wen Zhongming!

"El-Eldest Miss, please wait a moment. This one will go report to the lord …" Seeing Zhu Ziyang walking in with Lin City, holding a long sword in his hand, the servant guarding the door immediately became incomparably nervous as he stammered.

"Today, I'm looking for Wen Zhongming. It has nothing to do with you. You can leave if you have nothing to do with it. I won't stop you." Zhu Zi's voice was calm as she said, "If I leave anything behind, I will treat him as my enemy. I will not show any mercy to my enemy."

The guards at the door looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Everyone in the clan knew that the eldest daughter had left home without permission, and that she had angered the family head. Everyone in the clan knew that the eldest daughter had left home without permission, and had angered the family head.

It could be said that to the Wen family, the eldest miss was a fugitive.

Thus, when they heard Zhu Ziyang's words, everyone thought that they had misheard. Shouldn't they be the ones to capture the young lady? Why did it sound like they were the weaker party?

Even though they did not dare to do anything to the bamboo, being looked down upon like this caused them to feel extremely embarrassed.

"Eldest Miss, the Patriarch has ordered that everyone in the Wen family can send Eldest Miss back to the Wen family immediately upon seeing her!" One of the guards said with a dark face, "My apologies, Miss. We were just following orders …"

"Shua!"

Before he finished speaking, the guard had already drawn his sword. In the next moment, he felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes. With a "pu" sound, a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

When he finally reacted, he realized that his right hand that was holding the weapon had been pierced by the bamboo sword.

"..." "Ahhh!"

He let out a miserable scream and quickly retreated. However, at this moment, he discovered that Bamboo Gou was even faster than him. In the blink of an eye, she had already arrived in front of him, making him unable to dodge.

Swish!

When the ice-cold sword radiance struck him like lightning, he closed his eyes in despair. The next moment, he felt as if his ears had been struck by lightning. With a buzzing sound in his head, he fainted.

"..." The strong! "

This was his last thought before he fainted.

Just a moment ago, the speed, power, and terrifying elemental energy fluctuations that Bamboo Forcing had displayed made the guard instantly understand that Bamboo Forcing was no longer the little martial artist who only had the cultivation of the Body Refinement Realm. Instead, she was an expert whose strength had become so strong that he was terrified!

He wasn't the only one. All the other guards were shocked as well, and when they saw the look of disbelief in Zhu Zifu's eyes, they also felt a terrifying fluctuation coming from her body. That sort of uncontrollable palpitation allowed them to clearly understand the gap between themselves and Zhu Zifu.

"El-Eldest Miss …"

The guards closest to Zhu Ziyang subconsciously swallowed and opened their mouths with great difficulty. However, before they could finish their words, they were interrupted.

Bamboo Fork said coldly, "This time, we will cripple one of our hands, but next time, we will not be so cheap!" In ten breaths of time, those who remain are my enemies! "

All the guards looked at each other, seeing the fear and hesitation in each other's eyes. After a few breaths, someone took a step forward, cupped his fist towards Bamboo Gou Zi, and then quickly turned around and left.

With the first person taking the lead, the rest of the group quickly bowed and left, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be treated as an enemy.

They knew their own limits. With Bamboo Hill's terrifying strength, wanting to kill them was as easy as crushing an ant to death.

After a few breaths, all the people at the gate had left, not a single one was left.

Zhuangzi's expression was calm. She wasn't the least bit proud that she had scared off the guards with just one move. She had only one goal in coming today, which was to avenge her parents. As for the others, they weren't part of her plan.

However, Lin City noticed that the guards outside the door had been scared off. However, there were a few people inside the door who had not left yet. They turned around and ran back into the courtyard.

"It seems like he has gone to report to Wen Zhongming." Lin Cheng said.

"Let's go."

Zhu Ziquan immediately said, "Be careful."

She didn't want to injure Lin City because of her desire for revenge. She was still fearful of Wen Zhongming's strength.

Lin Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I'm actually afraid that Wen Zhongming would be scared off upon hearing that we've come."

Zhu Zifu glared at him accusingly. This little rascal was at the brink of a great battle, yet he still had the mood to joke around … Wen Zhong was already a cultivator at the Danhai stage in the morning, and he might even have become a cultivator by now. How could he be scared to run away when he didn't even dare to fight back?

"Patriarch Wen, you have to consider whether these pills and weapons are more important or the lives of hundreds of people from the Wen family are more important!"

In a secret room in the Wen family's courtyard, Gui Dehan was proudly speaking. His gaze was fixated on the wooden shelves within the secret room. The jade bottles, sabers, and other weapons hung on the wall made him envious.

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Gui Dehan, don't push yourself too far. I, Wen Zhongming, am indeed not a match for a cultivator, but I won't allow you to humiliate me. If worse comes to worst, I'll just kill you."

Gui De Han suddenly stopped, his face changed slightly, and then he forced a smile: "Patriarch Wen, what's the use of saying such words now? "You must know, if I don't return in two hours, then Miss Zhu and her beloved partner will personally come. At that time, not only will you two have a falling out, but your Wen Family will also face a calamity."

With a tense face, Wen stared at Guidehan with murderous intent and anger.

Gui Dehan's heart thumped wildly when he saw this gaze. He could not help but stutter out a question, "Master Wen, you, what are you trying to do? "Do you want to think about whether your life is more important or …"

"Little one!"

Murderous intent surged in his heart. In all these years, it had always been Wen Zhongming who threatened others and even killed them. When had he ever been threatened like this?

However, when he thought of Bamboo Fork, who had already become a cultivator, and how she already knew that he had killed her parents, Wen Zhongming felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. His entire body felt ice-cold.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and submit.

Although Gui Dehan was a despicable man, there was one thing he was right about. Between the lives of so many people in the Wen family and his own family, and the pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, and other items in the secret room, he could only choose to stay alive.

Even if he had to, he could only save his own life!

Being scolded as a vile character, not only was Gui Dehan not angry, but he was instead laughing out loud, because this Fellow Disciple Ming once again lowered his head to him, "Master Wen, you've flattered me too much. Who asked me to follow Big Brother Zhu? Now I have the deep trust of Big Miss Zhu!"

"Humph!"

When Wen Zhongming heard Guidehan mention Zhu Qiuyang's father, he immediately snorted coldly with a livid expression. He turned around and carefully copied the Mysterious Techniques and mental cultivation method, no longer paying any attention to Guidehan.

Seeing this, Gui Dehan could not help but feel even more pleased. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in front of a few wooden shelves, choosing what he wanted to take with him.

"If only I had a storage bag!"

If he had a storage pouch, he would be able to bring away everything here. This was the wealth that Wen Zhongming had accumulated over the years. If it were to fall into his hands, he would be able to achieve great things.

However, he knew this was just a thought. How could a storage bag be so easily obtained? Perhaps even an expert like Wen Zhongming would not have a storage bag. That was a treasure that only cultivators could use and possess!

The Mysterious Techniques and mental cultivation methods were hard to understand. Just copying them had already made Wen Zhongming expend a lot of effort. Every time he wrote a word, it would consume a lot of his energy.

After almost half an incense's time, Wen Zhongming finally copied the profound art mental cultivation method from the scroll.

Then, he carefully examined the scroll from the beginning. After that, he once again rolled up the leather scroll. With great reluctance, he took a deep look at it once more before putting it back into the jade box.

"I'll give it to you now. I hope that Bamboo Hill can speak and calculate …" You, what are you doing?! "

Wen Zhongming had just said that he hoped that Zhu Ziyang would keep his word and let him off, but when he turned to look at Gui Dehan, he saw something that made him go into a rage.

Unknowingly, Gui Dehan had taken off his outer robe and actually wrapped the majority of the medicinal pills, medicinal ingredients, and cultivation techniques on the wooden shelf into the robe!

Other than the weapon being too long for him to carry, Gui Dehan wanted to sweep through everything on the wooden shelf!

When Wen Zhongming saw this, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He almost flew into a rage. "Guidehan, you actually dare …"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of someone knocking on the door could be heard from outside. At the same time, a hurried voice called out, "Clan leader, something bad has happened. The young miss and another young expert have entered …"
