"Useless thing, you can't even handle this little thing, I have to do it myself." A voice that was neither male nor female rang out.
Yun Qingluo's body stiffened. Others might not recognize the voice, but she found it extremely familiar.
"Pah! It's obvious your intelligence is false. You said he had no internal energy, so why is his internal energy far superior to mine? And who are those two people on the ground? How come they're so powerful too?" Lei Tian spat out blood, knelt on the ground, and asked angrily.
The man in black robes appeared silently behind Lei Tian and suddenly struck him with a palm.
Lei Tian tried to dodge, but it was too late. His eyes widened, and he died with his eyes open, unable to close them in peace.
"Useless trash. You can't even stop one person." The man in black robes clapped his hands in disgust, moved a few steps to the side, and stood not far from Lei Tian.
Yun Qingluo crawled out of Mo Beichen's arms and turned to face the black-robed man who had just killed Lei Tian.
Yun Qingluo's voice was a little hoarse, "Old Zhou..."
She had only uttered two words when Old Zhou interrupted her, "Little girl, don't call me that. I won't show any mercy."
Just as the Ghost Doctor was about to fly down, he was entangled by a group of people. Yun Qingluo looked up, her heart tightening, and shouted, "Ghost Doctor, those people not only know poison, but also Gu poison. Be careful!"
With outsiders present, Yun Qingluo feared that someone might be secretly watching them, so she didn't call the Ghost Doctor "Junior Uncle."
The Ghost Doctor glanced down at Yun Qingluo and nodded solemnly.
Old Zhou snorted coldly, struck a pose, and said, "Heh, you should worry about yourself first. Go back obediently, and I might let you off the hook today."
Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow but remained silent. Mo Beichen said, "When has it ever been necessary for me to have a shady rat interfering with my work?"
Yun Qingluo silently applauded Mo Beichen in her heart.
Old Zhou chuckled dismissively, "It's been a while since I've seen you, and you're already so arrogant. You should be taught a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Zhou stretched out his hand, clenched it into a claw, and reached out to grab Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen carried Yun Qingluo and stepped back, quickly retreating to the other side. He called out to Mo Feng and Mo Yu, instructing them to protect Yun Qingluo.
Mo Feng hurriedly said, "Master, we'll go. You and Madam can wait here."
Mo Beichen shook his head. "He possesses secret techniques. You are no match for him. Don't be careless and protect Luo Luo."
"Yes, Master," Mo Feng and Mo Yu replied in unison.
After receiving assurances from the two men, Mo Beichen turned around to face Elder Zhou's attack and led Elder Zhou away from Yun Qingluo's vicinity.
The two were fighting fiercely not far away.
Yun Qingluo looked up at the Ghost Doctor being entangled by a group of people in the sky, then glanced at Mo Beichen and Old Zhou, feeling somewhat anxious.
Xiao Yi sensed Yun Qingluo's emotions and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. They're so capable, they'll definitely be fine."
Yun Qingluo frowned, feeling that something was wrong. They had already been very discreet, so why was Lei Tian still targeting them?
Moreover, what a coincidence that Lei Tian was just used by Elder Zhou and his group?
Yun Qingluo shifted her gaze back to Mo Beichen and Old Zhou, focusing her attention on watching the fight between the two.
Soon, she realized something was wrong. It seemed that Old Zhou was not using his full strength, but was always using the least physically demanding fighting style to deal with Mo Beichen.
Clearly, Mo Beichen also noticed this problem and decisively changed his tactics, becoming even more ruthless and merciless. Gradually, Old Zhou had to rack his brains to deal with it.
Why didn't he use his secret techniques? I heard my master say that Master Zhou's secret techniques were even higher than his martial arts. If he used his secret techniques, he wouldn't need to exert himself so much.
What is he waiting for?
Yun Qingluo suddenly remembered her master.
That's right, they're definitely stalling for time.
"Mo Feng, Mo Yu, cover my escape from here. Something must have happened to Master," Yun Qingluo whispered to Mo Feng and Mo Yu.
Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, the two initially wanted to refuse, but since lives were at stake, they immediately nodded in agreement.
While keeping an eye on the fight, Yun Qingluo walked towards the Ghost Doctor's residence.
She didn't know where her master was, but judging from the Ghost Doctor's appearance, he couldn't give her directions either.
Now she can only try her luck at the place where the Ghost Doctor lives, hoping that someone there, perhaps her master or one of the Ghost Doctor's apprentices, might know some details.
Mo Beichen noticed that Elder Zhou was deliberately stalling for time. He glanced at Yun Qingluo out of the corner of his eye and saw that Yun Qingluo was moving towards a certain place under the cover of Mo Feng and Mo Yu.
Mo Beichen looked in the direction Yun Qingluo was heading and saw that the place ahead was where the Ghost Doctor lived. He immediately understood.
Therefore, they became even more ruthless towards Old Zhou, leaving him with no energy to pay attention to Yun Qingluo's situation.
The ghost doctor in the air also noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased: Luckily, he had told his apprentice the news.
Yun Qingluo had already left the battlefield and was about to feel secretly pleased when suddenly everything went dark and a man in black, carrying a knife, landed in front of her.
Yun Qinglu was startled. She looked up and saw, oh my, it was a woman?
Xiao Yi shouted, "Holy crap, is this an assassination attempt?"
Yun Qingluo frowned slightly as she looked at the masked woman opposite her. Who was this person? Was she with Old Zhou and the others?
The woman in black had a hint of hatred in her eyes.
She was originally punished by the Shadow Lord, but she overheard some palace maids gossiping that His Highness had ordered the Shadow Lord to protect the drug-using man. When she heard this, she was furious and drugged a few people to make them unconscious, and then escaped.
She was trying to kill a potential danger, and His Highness had never said a word for her. Why should this little bitch get His Highness's attention?
