This brat could have been killed outright if he had no backing.
But he was Yu Daohen's disciple.
At that time, Yu Daohen was the foremost person in the world.
Just because this brat was Yu Daohen's apprentice, they had to reconsider.
The man beside him looked at the leader and asked, "Should we kill this brat?"
The leader shook his head, "No. Take him back to await the Hall Master's judgment."
The three attacked simultaneously. Seeing this, Zhou Fu brandished his dagger, attempting to fend them off.
But he was outnumbered and outmatched. One man swung a claw, blocking the dagger's strike, while another launched a surprise attack from the side.
Yu Daohen reacted swiftly, retreating a couple of steps to dodge, but the last man was already upon him, exhaling a breath of foul air.
Seeing this, Zhou Fu immediately held his breath, but a fist slammed into his abdomen.
*Bang!*
The fist struck Zhou Fu's abdomen, shattering his defenses. He inadvertently inhaled the foul air.
As the foul air entered his body, Zhou Fu's vision blurred, his head grew heavy, and he collapsed to the ground.
The leader, quick-handed, caught the unconscious Zhou Fu.
A wisp of white smoke emerged from the bodies of the three men, and their bodies returned to normal, their scales disappearing.
The man beside him looked out the window at the woman who had already vanished and asked, "Do we still pursue her?"
The leader shook his head, "It's too late to chase now. She can't escape the Heilongjiang!"
Another man asked, "Should we inform Master Yu that we've captured his disciple?"
The leader looked at the fool, utterly speechless, and said irritably, "Are you an idiot? If we tell Master Yu, there'll be no hope of catching that guy."
With Yu Daohen's temper, if he knew we captured his disciple, he'd definitely come here to demand his return.
The only hope now is to pray that Master Yu doesn't find out about this and that the woman complies willingly.
Meanwhile, on the high-speed train heading to Heilongjiang, Yu Daohen, filled with worry, took out his phone and dialed Zhou Fu's number.
He didn't know Zhou Fu's current situation and hoped the brat could hold on.
As the three were about to take Zhou Fu back to the hall, they heard a phone ring.
The leader patted his pockets, then looked at the other two and asked, "Whose phone is ringing?"
Both men felt their pockets and shook their heads.
Seeing that it wasn't their phones, they looked at Zhou Fu's pocket in unison.
"This brat's phone is ringing," the tiger-headed man said.
The leader pulled the phone from Zhou Fu's pocket. When he saw who was calling, his face instantly turned extremely grim.
The man beside him, seeing his expression, asked, "Who is it?"
The leader's face was grim, "Master!"
The tiger-headed man looked confused, "How does Master know this brat's phone number?"
The other two looked at him speechlessly.
He wasn't a tiger, he was an idiot.
Anyone with a brain would know it was Zhou Fu's master calling.
The tiger-headed man didn't understand their speechless expressions and said confusedly, "Master is calling, you should answer it quickly."
The other two were utterly speechless.
Confirmed, this guy is a complete moron!
The leader said irritably, "It's not *our* master, it's *this brat's* master."
"This brat's master?"
The tiger-headed man pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, "Isn't this brat's master Master Yu?"
"Damn it, it's Master Yu calling!"
The tiger-headed man couldn't help but exclaim, "Does Master Yu know?"
The leader didn't want to deal with this idiot and muttered to himself, "Could Master Yu already know!"
The man beside him also fell silent.
Honestly, it was hard to say.
The tiger-headed man, however, was certain, "He definitely knows."
The other two ignored him and began discussing countermeasures.
The man asked, "Brother, should we let this brat go?"
The leader shook his head, "That's not advisable. We still need to take him back to the Hall Master for a decision."
The man nodded in agreement, "I also think that's the safer option."
Just as they made this decision, the tiger-headed man beside them muttered, "Master Yu definitely knows."
The other two looked serious. The leader asked, "How do you know?"
The tiger-headed man's eyes were certain as he said, "I have my reasons. Master Yu definitely knows."
Upon hearing this, the other two looked at the unconscious Zhou Fu.
Their previous decision was nullified. They should continue searching for the woman.
As the two were about to place Zhou Fu on the bed, the leader suddenly asked curiously, "How are you so sure Master Yu knows?"
How did this idiot suddenly become so perceptive?
"My intuition is always accurate!" the tiger-headed man blurted out.
"..."
The other two were instantly speechless to the extreme.
"Just based on intuition, you're sure Master Yu knows?" The leader clenched his fist.
If this guy dared to say yes, he'd definitely get a beating!
"That's right!" the tiger-headed man nodded, a proud expression on his face.
"Heh heh..."
The leader chuckled and looked at the man beside him, "Should we act now?"
The man beside him was also startled by this guy's antics, and he immediately nodded.
The leader walked to the bed, placed Zhou Fu on it, then looked at the tiger-headed man and asked, "Tell me, do you want a punch or a kick?"
The man beside him added, "Or perhaps both?"
Even the most foolish could understand their meaning, but the tiger-headed man was confused.
Did he do something wrong?
"I don't think I did anything wrong?" the tiger-headed man asked.
The leader suppressed his anger, then let out a long sigh and suddenly shouted, "Beat him!"
The two attacked simultaneously, punching and kicking the tiger-headed man.
The force was so great that only the dull thuds of flesh hitting flesh could be heard.
However, they knew where to hold back, only attacking areas like the buttocks.
He wouldn't be injured, but he would definitely feel pain!
They wanted him to feel excruciating pain, to the point of tearing his heart out.
The tiger-headed man wanted to resist, but he was outnumbered.
Moreover, he was the weakest of the three.
In a forest behind the mountain.
Shi Bingzhi stared grimly at the Heavenly Master's Mansion not far away.
Shi Bingzhi's companion, however, had a smile on his face. He looked at Shi Bingzhi and said excitedly, "Mr. Shi, you are truly amazing, to be able to bypass all the guards. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to sneak into the back of the Heavenly Master's Mansion so easily."
They were now at the back of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. With an attack from the rear, they were sure to seize the compass.
Shi Bingzhi's expression was blank, "Remember what you promised me!"
Shen Fengqing nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
