Chapter 609: The Mysterious Man Intends To Kill Zhu Honggong
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou came between Zhu Honggong and the middle-aged man. He struck with his palm that glowed with a blue light. His palm was, shockingly, not aimed at the middle-aged man but Zhu Honggong.
Bam!
Zhu Honggong instantly felt as though his world had been turned upside down. He pointed at Lu Zhou, who was in disguise, and said, "S-sneak attack… I… You… You’re dead. My master… isn’t a… pushover."
"…" Lu Zhou suddenly felt that he should have hit Zhu Honggong with more force.
After saying those words, Zhu Honggong’s eyes rolled to the back of his head and fell to the ground.
Lu Zhou stood next to Zhu Honggong. He surveyed the streets’ surroundings before he said, "Now that no one’s here, bring me to your master." This was the reason Lu Zhou had hit Zhu Honggong.
If Zhu Honggong was truly concealing his strength, this middle-aged man might not be able to take him down. However, judging from the middle-aged man’s words, he had someone else’s support. If Lu Zhou had made a move on the middle-aged man, he would only alarm him. At that time, the middle-aged man would likely not reveal the person behind him.
Moreover, Lu Zhou could feel the middle-aged man did not intend to kill Zhu Honggong.
The middle-aged man took a step back and asked, "You are?"
"My surname’s Lu," Lu Zhou answered honestly, ‘Is there anyone who’s more honest than me?’
"Thank you for helping me, Old Mister Lu. Please leave him to me, Old Mister Lu," the middle-aged man said.
"I can leave him to you, but I have a few questions," Lu Zhou said without beating around the bush.
"Let’s hear it, Old Mister Lu."
"What’s your name?"
"Jiang Pu."
"Why do you want to take him away?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Old Mister Lu, you must’ve misunderstood me. We’re old friends who met after a long time. That’s all," Jiang Pu said.
"If that’s your answer, I’m afraid I can’t let you take him… Why don’t we kill him and make a name for ourselves?"
"…"
At this moment, Zhu Honggong flipped around and pointed at the sky. He said groggily, "Who… W-whoever… lays a finger on me… My master… My master isn’t a push… a pushover…"
Bam!
Lu Zhou kicked Zhu Honggong. ‘You bastard. Is that how you talk behind my back?’
"Don’t…" Jiang Pu cried out. He quickly spread his arms out. "Don’t kill him! We can talk things through!"
"…"
"Old Mister Lu, why must you put him through this? Aren’t you worried the Evil Sky Pavilion will come looking for you? Moreover, this is the Divine Capital. Any commotion will certainly catch the Nether Sect’s attention," Jiang Pu continued to say.
"You’re afraid of the Evil Sky Pavilion?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Not exactly afraid, but just fearfully respectful…" Jiang Pu said, "Let’s do this. You can bring him with you. You’ll know everything once you meet my master."
‘That’s exactly what I intend to do.’ Lu Zhou calmly replied, "Alright. Lead the way."
…
In front of a remote courtyard in the Divine Capital.
"This way." Jiang Pu led Lu Zhou and the unconscious Zhu Honggong into the courtyard.
Once they entered the courtyard, a few lively young men appeared and looked at them curiously.
