1585: Ambush; the Hall of Returning Nature!

Ambush; the Hall of Returning Nature!

0Master Guan was shocked. His eyes glittered, and he said, "Are you one of the Tigers?"2

Master Song had just put a dan bead into his mouth, and he was shocked too. He nearly spat out the dan bead because of how shocked he was.

"That's right." Old Zhu looked so small and weak, but a strong vibe was forming on him.

"There are One Dragon, Two Tigers, and Three Phoenixes in the Hall of Returning Nature." Zhu clearly said, "I am one of the Two Tigers. I am the Tiger in the Dream, Zhu Menghun!"

"So I see. People say that the best thief lives with the guards. It is clever to stay on my side. Nobody would have thought that the Tiger in the Dream, Zhu Menghun, would actually serve an old man as a steward for hundreds of years… I see… Every ten years, you left me to your hometown. At least you told me you were back in your hometown to memorize your ancestors. Well, you were only back to be the Tiger and showed the public Zhu Menghun was out there!" Master Guan finally got it.

Zhu Menghun sadly looked at Master Guan and said, "Old Guan, I was sincere, and I never wanted to hurt you. Don't get me wrong. Everybody has dreams. In dreams, there are beauties, and there are beasts. You are right. I left every ten years to be myself."

"Good. It is good that we make it clear. Now you have shown us who you are. Does it mean you are going to kill us? Well, then… Why bother talking useless words." Master Guan was angry.

"Old Guan, I wouldn't do this to you if I had a choice… You… You shouldn't be against the Hall of Returning Nature." Zhu Menghun made a long sigh. Suddenly, he stood straight up with a strong vibe, like a demon from ancient times.

"Zhu Menghun, nothing happened to my family, right?" Master Guan asked.

"Sure." Zhu Menghun said, "We have known each other for hundreds of years. We are in different positions now, but I won't hurt your family."

Master Song humphed and said, "I doubt it. I think you are not powerful enough to do it, not because you don't want to. The great ancestor of the Guan Clan is still there. I don't think you have the power. We panicked, so we forgot about that!"

Zhu Menghun blandly said, "I have a special status in the Guan Clan. I could have killed everyone in the house if I wanted. Nobody would even notice me. Don't you think so, Master Song?"

Master Song humphed and didn't continue the topic.

It was the truth.

Zhu was an important man in the Guan Clan. The house was open to him. He could even kill the Guan Clan people by feeding them poison.

"You could have done it, but you didn't dare." Master Guan said, "You are afraid! If too many people of the Guan Clan died, you would probably die with us!"

Zhu admitted it, "I didn't dare. The great ancestor of the Guan Clan hasn't shown himself for a long time, but I know he is still alive. We must avoid fighting against a powerful man like that!"

"We are attacking the Guan Clan, but we have to draw you out and do it somewhere else!"

"Guan Muyun, it is the rule of the martial world."

Zhu Menghun said, "I truly don't want to kill you, and I clearly don't want to be hunted after killing you. That is why I need to do this outside the City of Chaos."

"I am sorry," Zhu Menghun said.

People of the two clans actually believed that he was being honest!

As he apologized, people showed up from everywhere. These men were in black clothes as if they were a part of the dark night. Their eyes were glittering.

They were like a group of starving wolves in the dark of the night.

There were thousands of them.

It meant the Hall of Returning Nature was determined to kill these two old masters!

The two old masters were chiefs of their clans and also the most powerful men in their clans. Either of them could defeat Zhu Menghun in a fight. However, they were both injured now and poisoned. They only had half of their powers left. They were getting weaker and weaker.

The men from the two clans weren't good enough to defeat the men from the Hall of Returning Nature.

Master Guan knew something else, too. The Tiger in the Dream had been hiding beside him, but there was always news about him giving a great performance in a fight from time to time. He knew that this tiger must be more powerful than people knew. Besides, this tiger knew everything about Master Guan. Master Guan might not have the chance to defeat the Tiger in the Dream even if he had the chance to.

Zhu Menghun knew everything about him, yet he knew nothing about Zhu Menghun. That was unfair!

The two clans were in chaos, and the people of the Hall of Returning Nature were well prepared.

It was an obvious result!

"Protect the masters! Take protection formation!" somebody shouted and pointed ahead with a long spear. People of the two clans quickly moved and stood in a round formation. Hundreds of them had surrounded the two old men and pointed their weapons outward.

It was dangerous now. They couldn't let Zhu Menghun stay near the masters. If Zhu Menghun stayed among them, he would destroy the formation easily!

The two clans had been living together for a long time, so they did well in cooperating with each other. As they moved, they did it smoothly and quickly. There was no flaw.

"Young Master Guan is such a talented man. He doesn't panic, and he makes good decisions. He is much better than that stupid Ye Yunduan." Zhu Menghun praised.

The man who held the spear and gave orders was Master Guan's son, Guan Changfeng.

Guan Changfeng humphed and blandly said, "Steward Zhu, we knew each other for a long time. If I am still the young master in your heart, why don't you give me the antidote?"

Zhu Menghun laughed loudly. Before he said anything, a lady's voice sounded, "Brother Zhu, it is getting late. Let's move now and end this as soon as possible."
