Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

They could clearly see that Bai Zhi 26 was pale and was obviously affected by her injuries.

"Su Ge, let her go!" Shi Yu shouted sternly.

Su Ge raised an eyebrow and scanned Shi Yu and Zhang Hui.

"So there were two other people here after all."

He grinned sinisterly, "You want to protect her? Then let me see just how capable you are!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Ge instantly revealed his terrifying strength, and a terrifying sword aura shot sharply towards Shi Yu and Zhang Hui.

They reacted immediately. Shi Yu advanced instead of retreating, blocking the bombardment of sword energy, while Zhang Hui quickly dodged.

Bai Zhi watched this scene with a mixture of gratitude and worry.

She knew her injuries prevented her from fighting, and now she could only rely on Shi Yu and Zhang Hui to protect her.

When Su Ge saw Shi Yu and Zhang Hui launch a counterattack against him, his eyes became even more ferocious.

He sneered, "Do you think you can stop me? With your mere status as cultivators? I am Su Yu's capable subordinate!"

Shi Yu retorted through gritted teeth, "Just because you're Su Yu's subordinate, do you think we'd back down? You overestimate yourself!"

The battle between the two sides intensified.

Although Shi Yu and Zhang Hui are powerful, they should not be underestimated when facing an enemy like Su Ge.

They protected Bai Zhi with all their might, while looking for an opportunity to launch a counterattack. Bai Zhi stood exhausted inside the Spirit Weapon Pavilion, gripping her longsword tightly.

Her face was pale, showing none of the courage and decisiveness she had displayed during her fierce battle with Suger.

She felt immense pressure and constraint after being forced to reveal the secrets of the lost divine sword to Suger.

Su Ge stared sharply at Bai Zhi, his voice filled with eagerness: "Are you really not going to tell me? What is the connection between such a precious treasure and your identity?"

Bai Zhi tried her best to calm herself down and remain composed.

She knew that revealing the secret of the lost sword would bring great danger to herself and those around her.

"I told you, I will never tell you."

Seeing Bai Zhi's resolute attitude, Shi Yu and Zhang Hui felt both admiration and worry.

They went to Bai Zhi's side, trying to offer her some comfort and help.

Shi Yu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Su Ge, don't even think about getting any information from us! We will protect Bai Zhi."

Zhang Hui gently patted Bai Zhi's shoulder and said tenderly, "Don't be afraid, we're here. No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

Su Ge sneered, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"It's ridiculous. Do you really think you can protect her? You're so naive."

Shi Yu stared intently at Su Ge and said defiantly, "Although we are of different statuses, our intentions are clear. Bai Zhi is our friend, and no one can harm her."

Chapter 683 I am no match for Shi Yu at all

Su Ge coldly glanced at Shi Yu and Zhang Hui, a disdainful smile creeping onto his lips.

"Friends? That's a novelty. Don't you know I'm Su Yu's right-hand man? Even the most powerful friend can only become my puppet in front of me."

Shi Yu's expression turned serious. "We are well aware of your background and strength, but we will never back down. Just because you are Su Yu's subordinate does not mean you can stop me from protecting Bai Zhi!"

Fighting broke out again.

Shi Yu and Zhang Hui threw themselves into the battle, protecting Bai Zhi while searching for an opportunity to fight Su Ge.

Despite facing a formidable enemy, they showed no sign of backing down.

Bai Zhi gripped the sword hilt tightly, watching Shi Yu and Zhang Hui struggle to fend off Su Ge's attacks.

My heart is filled with gratitude and peace of mind.

Time ticked by, and her eyes flashed with determination and resolve.

In this fierce battle, Shi Yu and Zhang Hui displayed their formidable strength.

They defused Sog's dangerous attack and tried to find an opening to launch a more powerful counterattack.

Su Ge sensed the power gradually erupting from Shi Yu and Zhang Hui, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"You do have some skills, but they're not good enough."

He sneered, "Let me send someone to defeat you, Shi Yu."

The four guards watched the fierce battle between Bai Zhi, Shi Yu, and Zhang Hui with shock and astonishment in their hearts.

They had never seen anyone fight so fiercely against a master like Su Ge, let alone three people taking on Su Ge at the same time.

Shi Yu demonstrated his incredible strength.

He was agile, and every move he made contained great power, causing the four guards to take a few steps back.

They stared at Shi Yu, a strange sense of awe welling up in their hearts.

In their eyes, Shi Yu had already transcended the boundaries of ordinary humans.

"How is this possible?" a guard muttered under his breath, gripping his weapon tightly and trying to regain his composure.

Shi Yu turned to look at the four guards with a cold smile, his eyes full of disdain.

He threw a punch at one of the guards without any mercy.

The guard who was hit was unable to react at all, and his body was instantly torn into blood-splattered fragments by the force.

The other three guards felt a chill run down their spines, never expecting that a single punch could kill their comrade.

They knew that the enemy before them was incredibly powerful, far beyond their imagination.

With each move, Shi Yu displayed an extremely domineering power.

"Do you still have the guts to continue fighting?" Shi Yu looked at the remaining three guards with a mocking tone, his voice filled with ridicule and contempt.

The three guards exchanged glances, having already lost the will to continue fighting.

They knew in their hearts that they were no match for Shi Yu.

In front of Shi Yu, they were as insignificant as ants.

"We surrender! We are willing to submit to you!" one of the guards said, trembling. The other two nodded in agreement.

Shi Yu sneered, his gaze sweeping over the three guards.

“Remember this moment.”

As his words fell, the three guards collapsed to the ground, their life force fading away... After this battle, Shi Yu and Su Ge both realized that continuing to fight would be pointless, and perhaps cooperation was the best option.

Inside the Spirit Artifact Pavilion, Shi Yu led Su Ge to a secluded corner.

They looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, and then began to talk.

Chapter 684 She is an exceptionally special existence

Have you heard of Chen Tong? Shi Yu's voice was deep and filled with murderous intent.

Suger nodded in surprise.

"Yes, he was originally a disciple of the Ascension Pavilion, but he was expelled for making a mistake and is now an enemy of both us and the Ascension Pavilion," Su Ge recalled.

That's right, but did you know? Chen Tong isn't just an ordinary expert; he's one of the key figures in Yue Ming Pavilion, controlled by Gu Chen, who holds all the information in the martial arts world. Shi Yu said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Su Ge was immediately filled with shock.

He had heard of Chen Tong's name many times, but he didn't know anything about his true background.

Hearing Shi Yu say this now, he realized that he had underestimated Chen Tong's importance.

Chen Tong is currently gathering strength in 803 and preparing to launch a large-scale operation aimed at unifying the entire martial arts world. If he succeeds, it will have a huge impact on the entire power structure. Shi Yu continued.

Su Ge's heart sank, and he began to take Shi Yu's words seriously.

Chen Tong was indeed not the ordinary expert they had imagined, but rather someone with the potential to change the power dynamics of the martial arts world.

"Dengxianlou is also closely monitoring Chen Tong's movements, but the information they have is far more complex than we know," Shi Yu said gravely.

Suger looked worried.

Despite their high positions, they were completely unaware of the internal schemes within Yueming Pavilion and the true nature of the forces behind Chen Tong.

Now you should understand, right? We must be wary of Yue Mingge and Chen Tong, this powerful and mysterious force.

Shi Yu stared intently at Su Ge, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.

Shi Yu's words shocked Su Ge, and he valued Chen Tong even more.

However, Su Ge had previously mentioned that there was no clear relationship between Bai Zhi and Shi Yu, which made Shi Yu notice the mystery.

"Don't you want to reveal the secret of Angelica dahurica?" Su Ge asked, full of curiosity.

Shi Yu smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Bai Zhi, who was quietly leaning against the wall nearby. He had come up with a plan.

“I do know something about Angelica dahurica,” he hinted deliberately.

Bai Zhi immediately noticed Shi Yu's gaze, and a hint of confusion flashed across her face.

What secrets does she have about herself? Why does Shi Yu seem to know more than she does?

Before they knew it, the group began to walk out of the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

The bright sunlight shone on them, highlighting the confusion and curiosity on their expressions.

"Since you're all so interested in Angelica dahurica, I'll give you a little hint," Shi Yu said helplessly.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Ge asked, "Who is Bai Zhi? What secrets is she hiding?"

"Bai Zhi is not the insignificant, ordinary woman you think she is."

Shi Yu looked into the distance, his tone becoming serious.

"In fact, she is an exceptionally special person."

Suger listened with great interest.

He neither fully trusted nor completely doubted Bai Zhi.

At this moment, they were even more convinced of their previous speculations about Angelica dahurica.

“Tell me her secret,” Su Ge urged impatiently. Shi Yu smiled and looked at Su Ge and Gu Chen, then turned to face Bai Zhi.

"Bai Zhi, you actually have a subtle connection with Dengxian Tower."

A faint trace of sorrow was revealed in his voice.

Bai Zhi was shocked by Shi Yu's words, and countless questions welled up in her mind.

As the group walked out of the Spirit Artifact Pavilion into the sunlight, each of them was filled with doubt and curiosity.

Chapter 686 We Must Cooperate Against Yue Mingge

They longed to hear the truth and hoped to fully understand Bai Zhi's past.

Everyone was stunned by the news.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the interaction between Shi Yu and Bai Zhi.

"There's a secret deal between Chen Tong and Yue Mingge." He finally revealed an important clue.

Su Ge looked puzzled: "What was the deal between Yue Mingge and Chen Tong? Why haven't we noticed it all along?"

Shi Yu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on Qin Feng and the others. "Yue Mingge colluded with Chen Tong, secretly committing many acts against the righteous path. They obtained precious spiritual artifacts through illegal channels and used them for various purposes..."

“Illegal transactions.”

Shi Yu turned to Su Ge: "Therefore, we must cooperate to fight against Yue Mingge."

Su Ge looked at Shi Yu, a hint of confusion and frustration in his eyes.

"Cooperation? Are you serious?" he asked in a low voice.

Shi Yu nodded, his eyes resolute.

"Yes, only by joining forces can we deal with the increasingly powerful Chen Tong organization and Yue Ming Pavilion. We must protect ourselves and Bai Zhi."

Suger was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"You may not know this, but I seem to be one of the partners as well. I provide intelligence to Yue Mingge and receive money from them in return."

Shi Yu frowned slightly. "Why would you do this?"
