Chapter 669 214: Heroes Brave Hangu Pass, Wu Zhong's Rescue Fails (Part 5)

Afterwards, Shi Xiong carefully approached Lu Hongye and skillfully reconnected her bones. His technique was exquisite, with every movement gentle yet focused.

Shi Xiong's superior medical skill provided Lu Hongye with a thread of comfort amidst her pain. Among the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Heroic Sakura Association, Shi Xiong, being Shi Feiyang's Scholar's Attendant, was the biggest beneficiary. He had the opportunity to study various exquisite Martial Arts, advanced medical skills, military strategies, and the use of hidden weapons alongside the Elders and Hall Masters of the Heroic Sakura Association.

After reconnecting the bones, Shi Xiong used Tianshan Snow Lotus Water to clean Lu Hongye's wounds. The cool snow lotus water touched the wounds, greatly relieving Lu Hongye's pain. This detail showcased Shi Xiong's care for the injured and his masterful command of medical skills.

Finally, Shi Xiong fed Lu Hongye the "Lesser Returning Pill," and her complexion gradually gained a slight flush of blood.

As it turned out, earlier, Shi Feiyang had already visited an important figure in the Martial Arts world, namely Elder Martial Artist Lu Qiao, seeking assistance from the father-daughter duo in investigating the Jinyi Guard's capture operation of "Iron Palm" Wu Zhong.

When Lu Hongye first met Shi Feiyang, she felt a sense of destined fate. Her heart was deeply attracted to this renowned young hero in the Martial Arts world, captivated by his handsome and dashing appearance, his cold and charming demeanor, and his charismatic leadership as the head of a major gang.

Shi Feiyang was not only handsome in appearance but also exuded a naturally born leader's charm, which made him highly noticeable in the Martial Arts world.

Elder Martial Artist Lu Qiao had a junior sister named Wan Niang, who served as the leading lady at the "Drunken Spring Pavilion" in Luoyang City.

Wan Niang once deeply loved her senior brother Yang Mei, but this romance ultimately had no result. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she lost her sanity and eventually chose to become the leading lady at the "Drunken Spring Pavilion." Years later, although Wan Niang's mental state had returned to normal, she was already deeply immersed in the life at the "Drunken Spring Pavilion" and couldn't extricate herself. However, it was precisely because of such experiences that she could gather information faster than anyone else.

The Jinyi Guard, known for their dominance and wealth, frequently visited the "Drunken Spring Pavilion" for pleasure. Being exposed to this, Wan Niang was always able to acquire some important intelligence.

During this family crisis, Lu Hongye felt that the lives of herself and her family were under threat, uncertain of her survival. Therefore, in a moment unnoticed by Gan Jinliang, she bit her finger and wrote down the message "prison carriage detour Hangu Pass" on her wedding dress. With a sliver of hope in her heart, even if she met an unfortunate end, Shi Feiyang could discover this small line of words, thus saving Wu Zhong and uncovering the conspiracy of the Jinyi Guard.

Meanwhile, Zhong Renwang, like a cunning fox, silently slipped away while everyone's attention was focused on the chaos within Lu Family Martial Arts Hall. His figure, like a phantom, moved swiftly through the alleys, soon successfully meeting with Lan Xiaodie, Dugu yan, and others at a nearby corner.

As for Xie Zhichuan, he lay steadily on the rooftop like a lurking leopard, his gaze locked tightly on Zhong Renwang, eyes filled with hatred and vigilance.

This was because Zhong Renwang had previously deceived Divine Sword Manor of a great amount of money and provisions, causing the manor significant losses.

To reclaim the money and provisions Zhong Renwang had swindled, Xie Zhichuan had mobilized Lan Xiaodie to continue feigning cooperation with Zhong Renwang, but in reality, it was to execute a meticulously planned revenge scheme.

The Five Poison Sect, which Lan Xiaodie belonged to, also suffered immensely, having been swindled out of considerable money and provisions by Zhong Renwang. Hence, she outwardly dealt with Zhong Renwang with feigned civility, while in secret, she was fully investigating where he hid the swindled money and provisions.

Knowing Zhong Renwang's cunning and resourcefulness, she had to be extremely cautious, ensuring that he didn't detect her true intentions to avoid alerting the enemy.
