Seeing Qin Yi’s consistently indifferent expression, Qin Qiong had nothing more to say and lowered his head to eat.
Shortly after, Li Changsheng, Fang Zheng’ao, and the others arrived at the restaurant.
Qin Yi asked Xue Qiao’er, “Group Leader Xue, how did your discussion go last night? What are your plans now?”
Xue Qiao’er replied, “We’re heading back to Miao Bao Ge shortly to apprehend Yu Tongbao!”
“Qin Yi, we must thank you. If you hadn’t killed Long Shi last night, we probably wouldn’t be able to move on Yu Tongbao today!” Fang Zheng’ao said.
If Long Shi were still alive, with him protecting Miao Bao Ge, Li Changsheng would have many reservations and wouldn’t dare to act rashly against Yu Tongbao.
“I killed Long Shi for my own sake. You don’t need to thank me!” Qin Yi waved his hand, saying.
Looking at Qin Yi’s relaxed demeanor, which didn’t seem feigned at all, Huo Qiyang exchanged a glance with Qin Qiong and asked, “Qin Yi, are you truly not afraid after killing Long Shi?”
“What am I afraid of? If Long Shi’s father truly comes seeking revenge, let him come! We’ll deal with whatever comes our way!” Qin Yi replied casually.
“Qin Yi, your mindset is truly remarkable. I am impressed!” Li Changsheng said.
After everyone finished breakfast, they returned to Miao Bao Ge together.
Qin Yi naturally did not leave alone and accompanied them.
At this moment, Yu Tongbao was in Miao Bao Ge, his brow furrowed, pacing back and forth in the main hall.
He held his phone, making a call.
However, after trying for a long time, the call wouldn’t connect, and he finally put it down.
Luo You stood beside him, watching this scene, and asked, “Pavilion Master, still no contact with Young Master Long?”
“Mm,” Yu Tongbao said. “I wonder where Young Master Long has gone?”
Luo You hesitated and cautiously asked, “Pavilion Master, has something… happened to Young Master Long?”
Hearing this, Yu Tongbao’s pacing stopped, and the frown on his brow eased. He chuckled, “What could happen to Young Master Long? Second Guardian, don’t forget Young Master Long’s identity!”
Luo You nodded, feeling he had worried unnecessarily. Long Shi was a divine son of Shen Men, and his father was the deputy sect master of Shen Men. Even if anyone were to have an accident, it wouldn’t be Long Shi!
“Pavilion Master…”
Just then, a disciple from Miao Bao Ge rushed in.
Seeing this, Yu Tongbao and Luo You stopped talking and went to meet him. Yu Tongbao asked, “What is it?”
“The people from the Discipline Hall are back!”
The Miao Bao Ge disciple said.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures strode in from outside.
It was Qin Yi and Li Changsheng and their group.
Soon, as they approached, Yu Tongbao said with a grin, “Deputy Hall Master Li, I thought you would have returned to the capital yesterday. So you didn’t leave!”
“What is your advice for coming back now?”
This time, Li Changsheng had no intention of wasting words. He spoke directly, “Yu Tongbao, I’m giving you two options: either you come back to the capital with us voluntarily, or we’ll take you back by force!”
Yu Tongbao’s smile suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice, “Li Changsheng, have you asked Young Master Long before you try to touch me?”
“Hmph!”
Huo Qiyang snorted coldly and said, “Long Shi is already dead. Your backing is gone! If you know what’s good for you, you’d better come with us obediently, lest you implicate more people in Miao Bao Ge!”
“What???”
“Young Master Long is dead???”
Yu Tongbao and Luo You both exclaimed reflexively upon hearing this.
“Pfft…”
However, Yu Tongbao immediately recovered and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Group Leader Huo, you really have a good sense of humor!”
Luo You also looked amused, but unlike Yu Tongbao, he managed to suppress his laughter.
Seeing Yu Tongbao laughing heartily, Li Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered, “Apprehend him!”
He had no desire to waste any more time talking with the man.
At his command, Huo Qiyang moved instantly, charging straight at Yu Tongbao!
His impatience had long since reached its limit.
Yu Tongbao and Luo You were shocked to see Huo Qiyang actually dare to make a move. The next second, Luo You stepped in front of Yu Tongbao, confronting Huo Qiyang!
Bang bang bang…
The two quickly engaged in fierce combat, the sounds of fists and palms colliding echoing.
Because of Luo You’s intervention, Huo Qiyang could not immediately get close to Yu Tongbao.
Li Changsheng looked at Fang Zheng’ao and Qin Qiong. The two immediately understood and charged towards Yu Tongbao the next moment.
Yu Tongbao’s pupils contracted, and he shouted, “Guards! Guards…”
Swish, swish, swish.
Several figures rushed from various directions in Miao Bao Ge. Just as Fang Zheng’ao and Qin Qiong were about to reach Yu Tongbao, three figures stepped forward to block him.
It was the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Guardians of Miao Bao Ge!
Soon, twenty to thirty more martial artists from Miao Bao Ge arrived. When they saw Luo You and the other guardians locked in battle with Huo Qiyang and the other two, they joined the fray, helping Luo You and the others deal with Huo Qiyang, Fang Zheng’ao, and Qin Qiong.
Initially, Huo Qiyang and his two companions held the upper hand against the four guardians of Miao Bao Ge. However, with the addition of the other martial artists from Miao Bao Ge, the fight gradually became a stalemate.
Huo Qiyang and his group were unable to break through the encirclement and approach Yu Tongbao.
In this situation, Xue Qiao’er prepared to make a move to capture Yu Tongbao.
However, just as she was about to act, Li Changsheng stopped her, saying, “You are no match for him!”
“But…” Xue Qiao’er said, “Deputy Hall Master, hurry and capture Yu Tongbao! He’ll run away soon!”
This was indeed the case. Although Luo You and the others were holding off Huo Qiyang and his companions, seeing the ongoing fight, especially Li Changsheng who remained standing still, Yu Tongbao was filled with apprehension, even fear.
In his heart, he was already preparing to flee.
With Long Shi missing and Jin Xiuxian, Mao Xiang, and Abbot Hui Guang having left last night, Miao Bao Ge’s own strength would not be enough to withstand Li Changsheng!
As soon as Xue Qiao’er finished speaking, Yu Tongbao channeled his inner energy to his feet and leaped in one direction.
With a few large strides, he covered dozens of meters.
Seeing that he was indeed trying to escape, Li Changsheng moved like a flicker, instantly appearing before Yu Tongbao from his position beside Qin Yi and Xue Qiao’er!
Yu Tongbao was greatly alarmed by this, and he raised his hand, sending a palm strike towards Li Changsheng!
Li Changsheng also extended his hand, meeting Yu Tongbao’s palm strike head-on.
Snap.
Their palms met. The power contained in Yu Tongbao’s palm was instantly destroyed, and he was sent flying backward by the residual force of Li Changsheng’s strike.
Bang.
Yu Tongbao crashed heavily near Qin Yi, cracking the marble floor.
In one move, just one move, Yu Tongbao was defeated. This clearly demonstrated the vast difference in strength between him and Li Changsheng!
