#666 - The Biggest Secret

The fastest updates are available here!

There was a deathly silence inside the Scholar's Abode, even the sound of breathing seemed to freeze.

Many of those present had participated in the great battle five years ago, some even had the enemy's blood on their hands, and some would even boast to their friends and family about their bravery back then after a few drinks.

None of them had ever imagined that such shocking secrets were hidden behind this "war of justice."

And the bombshell dropped by Lü Qinghou was just the beginning.

At this time, Lu Jing also noticed that Abbot Huitong and the monks of Hanging Temple were a little lost.

Obviously, they were all stunned by this series of bombshells.

Although Lu Jing wanted to continue listening, he also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he nodded to Yan Jun in a hurry and said, "Leave Huitong to me, you go deal with the third white-faced monk on his left.

"Even if that guy isn't the instigator of tonight's events, he's at least a field commander."

Lu Jing was not idle while watching the excitement, he had been working hard to find the mastermind behind the scenes in the crowd.

Abbot Huitong's series of actions tonight were too abnormal, obviously he was being coerced.

Lu Jing had noticed early on that he was saying things against his will, and halfway through, Lü Qinghou interrupted Lü Jingwen several times, asking Huitong if it should end there.

Because if it went on, not only Carefree Manor, but also Hanging Temple would have a hard time getting away with it.

If Huitong was just trying to investigate the truth about Huiwen's murder, it was almost time to stop here, even discussing it with Lü Qinghou privately would be better than questioning him in front of so many people.

But then Huitong acted very stubbornly, still asking questions, and finally forced Lü Qinghou to open the floodgates.

This kind of performance would of course be fine for a newbie who had just entered the Jianghu, but Huitong was the abbot of Hanging Temple, a well-known master in the martial world, he couldn't and shouldn't be so inconsiderate of the overall situation.

So he was obviously out of his control.

And the person controlling him must also be in the Scholar's Abode.

Because if it was rehearsed in advance, Huitong's questions would not be so appropriate, and he would also adjust according to the speaker's words.

And Lu Jing had previously investigated the other people who came to the meeting besides the monks of Hanging Temple.

Based on his understanding of Li Bufan, he didn't think it would be easy to sneak into the Scholar's Abode as a cook or a maid, so his attention was naturally more focused on Huitong's entourage.

As a result, he was not disappointed, Lu Jing quickly noticed the young white-faced monk.

Although the latter was very cunning, and had been trying hard to pretend to be the same as other monks, Lu Jing's eyesight still saw a trace of clues.

It wasn't that he himself had revealed any flaws, but Lu Jing found that the other monks of Hanging Temple had a subtle attitude towards him, the distance between the two monks standing next to him and him was farther than the distance between him and the other monks on the other side, and their eyes rarely fell on him.

Obviously, they were wary of him, but they didn't dare to show it after prior practice.

So Lu Jing asked Yan Jun to take him down.

Lu Jing himself then used the Raging Waves to pounce on Abbot Huitong.

As one of the few top masters in the world, Abbot Huitong's five senses were very sharp, and besides, with the movement of Lu Jing's light work, even if his five senses were not sharp, he would definitely be able to hear it.

So he came back to his senses in just an instant.

But at this time, he made a second mistake.

That was, when he found that there was only one person pouncing on him, and that person's face looked a little strange, and he was not a famous master, he did not retreat in the first time.

As a result, this moment of loss and hesitation allowed Lu Jing's Zen staff to reach his front.

It's done!

Lu Jing knew that at least the first step of the plan was successful, but he did not relax his vigilance.

Even with Steadfast Stance in hand, he couldn't be careless at all when dealing with a master like Huitong.

Moreover, Steadfast Stance could only entangle the opponent, but could not take down the opponent immediately.

Especially since Huitong still had a mouth to use.

Although Lu Jing didn't have any serious black material on him, he had quite a few secrets, such as his identity as a transmigrator, and his bug of internal strength and secret strength, these were all things he didn't want to reveal to others.

So Lu Jing went all out from the beginning, but unfortunately Steadfast Stance was not One Heart Sword, and he was not Han Shi, no matter how fierce he attacked, he had to wait for Huitong to come and touch him himself.

However, Abbot Huitong was also secretly shocked after exchanging a few moves with Lu Jing.

He had never heard of the other party's staff technique, every move and every style was a bit unreasonable, full of loopholes, but it gave him a feeling of being unbreakable when connected together.

Huitong didn't want to entangle with Lu Jing too much, so he planned to use his profound internal strength to directly force the other party away.

But he didn't expect that this force was not important, but it just scratched someone's itch.

Huitong used 80% of his power in a palm, but it didn't even stir up a ripple when it landed on the Zen staff.

But the next moment Abbot Huitong blurted out, "It's you!"

There was no way, although Lu Jing was wearing a human skin mask, his Little Vajra Strength internal skill was too recognizable, this internal skill itself was very common, but only one family had practiced it to a first-class master, and there was no other branch.

And Little Vajra Strength was a Buddhist martial art, Abbot Huitong couldn't possibly not notice it.

Lu Jing was not surprised that he was recognized, and the corner of his eye saw that Yan Jun had also started to attack at this time, pouncing on the target.

Unfortunately, the target was also very alert, and with a sliding step, he hid behind the two Hanging Temple monks in advance, so that Yan Jun failed to hit with one blow.

Lu Jing regretted it in his heart, and at the same time had to cheer up and prepare to receive Abbot Huitong's verbal attack.

But he didn't expect that the next moment Huitong suddenly shouted, "Miss Yan, what is your biggest secret?"

Yan Jun was stunned when she heard this, and then lowered her head and said nothing, and soon vomited a mouthful of blood.
