Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Betrayal!

Lu Xiuying and the others, following Master Sanhua, successfully broke out of the Five Elements Illusionary Extinguishing Formation and arrived at a valley.

After exiting the formation, Master Sanhua immediately checked the surroundings and then said,

"All right, it’s safe here."

The group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiuying then woke Momo from her unconscious state.

As soon as Momo woke up, she immediately broke free and asked urgently,

"Where is Zhou Yu?"

Qiu Yong’s expression darkened, and he strode over to Momo.

"Momo, don’t forget who you are. You are my woman now. If you keep pining for that kid, don’t blame me for being rude."

Momo angrily said,

"Stop deluding yourself, I will never marry you."

Qiu Yong’s eyes suddenly turned sinister.

Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt between the two, Lu Xiuying immediately stepped in between them and said,

"Qiu Yong, we are on a mission right now. Stop talking about things unrelated to the mission."

Qiu Yong’s cold gaze suddenly shifted to Lu Xiuying.

"It’s about time."

"Team leader Lu, we should talk about the serious matters now."

"Serious matters? What serious matters?" Lu Xiuying was taken aback.

"Team leader Lu, you have been opposing me at every turn on this journey. Plainly speaking, it’s because Jiang Fengnian has your back."

"I can tell you unequivocally that Jiang Fengnian will fall soon, and you can now choose to side with my grandfather. All the past grievances can be wiped clean."

"Moreover, I guarantee that within five years, you will have twice the resources you had before."

Lu Xiuying’s expression darkened.

"Qiu Yong, do you realize what you are saying?"

Qiu Yong sneered,

"Enough with the pretense, who doesn’t know that my grandfather and Jiang Fengnian are archenemies at the Qinzhou Martial Pavilion branch?"

"It’s time to pick a side."

"Which side will you choose?"

"Qiu Yong, shut up. The Qinzhou Martial Pavilion has always valued unity. If you continue to speak in a way that undermines our unity, I will punish you severely," said Lu Xiuying, her face cold.

Qiu Yong let out a cold laugh.

"It seems that you’ve decided to oppose me."

"Then don’t blame me for not being polite."

After speaking, he suddenly waved his hand.

Lu Xiuying didn’t understand Qiu Yong’s intention behind this gesture when she suddenly sensed a crisis looming behind her.

Momo cried out,

"Team leader Lu, be careful of Hang Xiangbei..."

Before she could finish,

Bang!

Lu Xiuying’s back was struck by a heavy punch.

Spurt!

Caught off guard, Lu Xiuying spat out blood, flung sideways through the air.

"Leader!"

The other team members, witnessing the scene, were shocked and horrified.

Many of them angrily charged toward Hang Xiangbei.

However, a terrifying Gang Jin suddenly erupted from Hang Xiangbei’s body.

He sneered and threw a punch that sent those few team members who rushed over spewing blood and flying backward, instantly killing them.

"Anyone else who dares move will meet the same fate."

Hang Xiangbei, previously silent and subdued, suddenly transformed into a demon.

The other team members showed fear on their faces and dared not move rashly.

And Master Sanhua, Liu Qinghu, and Fang Xuanlong, as if they had anticipated this, showed no change in their expressions.

At that moment, Lu Xiuying got up from the ground.

She held her chest, her face pale, and full of anger.

"Hang Xiangbei, you dare to betray me."

Hang Xiangbei let out a cold laugh.

"Lu Xiuying, I have never been your man, so how could there be betrayal?"

"You’re seeking death!"

Enraged, Lu Xiuying, enduring her pain, struck at Hang Xiangbei with a palm.

However, a terrifying Gang Jin burst forth from Hang Xiangbei’s body as he met the strike with a punch.

Bang!

Their fists and palm collided.

Lu Xiuying’s face suddenly changed, and she spat out blood as she was thrown backward.

With just one strike, she had been severely injured.

Her face was filled with horror.

"You... you are at the peak of the Innate Realm!!!"

Hang Xiangbei laughed heartily.

"Lu Xiuying, do you realize now? In terms of cultivation, I have never been weaker than you."

Clap, clap, clap!

Qiu Yong clapped his hands and said:

"Hang Xiangbei, well done. From today, you are the leader of Wu Pavilion’s Group One."

Hang Xiangbei was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Deputy Director Qiu, for your cultivation."

Momo’s face was filled with urgency as she rushed over to help Lu Xiuying up.

"Team Leader Lu, how are you?"

At this moment, Lu Xiuying had realized what had happened.

Clearly, this was an internal power struggle orchestrated by Deputy Director Qiu, and Qiu Yong had been planning this for a long time. This time, her chances of survival were slim.

"Momo, run, get out of here."

Momo, now consumed by anger, could no longer heed Lu Xiuying’s words.

She yelled fiercely at Qiu Yong:

"Qiu Yong, how dare you defy the ancestral teachings of Wu Pavilion, openly inciting infighting, and challenge your superiors? Do you realize that this is a capital offence?"

Qiu Yong laughed heartily.

"You foolish woman, do you still not understand?"

"Qin State’s Wu Pavilion is about to change. In the future, it will honor my grandfather. As for them..."

Qiu Yong pointed at Lu Xiuying and the others.

"The script has already been written. Once I go out, I will tell everyone in Wu Pavilion that Lu Xiuying conspired with the Demon Prison Master to betray and kill their own people. Luckily, I saw through her scheming in time and eliminated a major threat for Wu Pavilion."

"Additionally, I will bring back the body of the Demon Prison Master. Once everyone sees the Demon Prison Master’s body, they will all believe me."

"Now, do you understand?"

Qiu Yong smirked wickedly.

Upon hearing this, Momo trembled all over.

This plan was too malicious. If things really went as planned, Lu Xiuying would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"I won’t let you succeed; I’ll tell everyone about your plot."

After saying this, Momo got up and ran for the exit.

"Thinking of running?"

"Humph, you cheap woman, I wanted to marry you, but you were unclear with that Zhou Yu. Now you want to ruin my great plan. Just die here then!"

With a nod from Qiu Yong, Hang Xiangbei immediately rushed out and easily captured Momo.

"Let me go!"

Momo, eyes red with anger, shouted furiously.

Qiu Yong approached Momo.

"Let you go?"

"You’re too naive."

"Now that you know this secret, I can’t let you leave here alive."

"You’re about to die, but before you die, I’m going to have my way with you."

Having said this, he reached out with a wicked smile to tear at Momo’s clothes.

Momo panicked, howling furiously and struggling continuously.

"No... let me go, you bastard!"

"No, please..."
