Chen Ku came up to them and quickly explained, "Things are very clear now. The Fish and Dragon Association has joined Peace Path, coordinating inside and out, and has invaded Baojiao County, preparing to seize the city and start a rebellion... I discovered something at night and assassinated Li Yutang here."

"Li Yutang is dead?" Yang Luochen immediately saw a puddle of flesh not far from Chen Ku.

"Li Yutang is not important..." Chen Ku spoke rapidly, "Li Yutang was merely a vanguard sent by Peace Path to suppress Medicine King Hall. Peace Path is the true mastermind. Now, they have mostly invaded the county government office and major checkpoints within the city. Once they control the county government office and the checkpoints on the city wall smoothly, they will be able to focus on dealing with us..."

"What? Peace Path has already invaded the county government office? How is this possible?" Qin Sifan exclaimed, "Shangguan Yun is a master of the Five Realms, isn't he?"

"This is rebellion and uprising; what does a Five Realms master count for? Peace Path now has over a thousand people entering the city, and I estimate more are coming to kill." Chen Ku quickly said, "And I've heard from Grandmaster Qin that Peace Path has four Guardian Evil Gods, all at least Sixth Realm in the Divine Soul System. Moreover, they have the Peace Sect Leader who has never shown himself..."

"Do you mean Baojiao County might fall?" Kou Ming's face slightly changed.

"It's not impossible!"

Chen Ku sighed inwardly.

This rebellion was too sudden.

No,

Perhaps it was just too sudden for him.

For Peace Path, who knows how long they have been plotting.

He uses many rats and sparrows in the city as spies, and before assassinating Li Yutang, he had already determined the number of people from Peace Path entering the city through these spies and even heard some conversations.

"That Ma Tianlin turned out to be the Vice Sect Hierarch of Peace Path, and there's even a Peace Sect Leader who dares to confront Senior Brother Qin..."

This was something Chen Ku had never anticipated.

A County Magistrate responsible for maintaining law and order within the county had become an undercover agent for the evil cult rebellion; the layout of this rebellion was truly meticulous.

Added to the fact that a thousand soldiers from the Divine Machine Camp transferred from Qiu Dragon Mansion were sent to the mountains of Baojiao County, lured away like a tiger leaving its mountain.

"What do you mean?" Qin Sifan asked gravely, "Should we help suppress the rebels, or...?"

"Our Medicine King Hall's strength is at most enough to fight these three hundred people from the Fish and Dragon Association; there's no strength to suppress Medicine King Hall's rebellion..." Yang Luochen said quickly after beating back some people, "If the city falls, Baojiao County will become the main base and new stronghold for Peace Path. Then they will need food and funds, and we big merchants will be their first target. Moreover, Medicine King Hall and Peace Path have a deep enmity. I propose that once we fend off these Fish and Dragon members, we should quickly withdraw from the county as Peace Path has not controlled the city gates yet."

"Master's idea is exactly my intention."

Chen Ku quickly said:

"This night's rebellion was too sudden; it's already an uprising, and Peace Path has a high chance of taking over the county after tonight..."

Kou Ming also came over at this time, gravely agreeing: "I agree. We are businessmen, and under any circumstances, we cannot fight against impossible odds. From the sound of the horn, it's very short, indicating the horn-player was killed before sounding it for long. Junior Brother Chen's intelligence is very correct; Baojiao County is very likely to fall. We must retreat overnight, lest we become trapped inside, becoming proverbial fish and meat to be slaughtered. If Baojiao County doesn't fall, we can simply return later..."

"Alright, then let's eliminate these Fish and Dragon Association members and retreat from the county overnight." Qin Sifan decided.

Yet, just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the Fish and Dragon Association, with victory and defeat near, preparing to pack essentials and exit the city.

"Trying to leave? Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter echoed between heaven and earth, shaking everyone in Medicine King Hall to their core, causing them all to turn pale with horror.

"Who is it?" Yang Luochen shouted, brandishing his staff and looking around the void.

And those among the Fish and Dragon teams, reduced to just a dozen by Medicine King Hall, burst into cheers:

"True Void Ancestor has arrived!"

"Medicine King Hall! You're doomed!"

A young member of the Fish and Dragon Association, with a red cloth headband, looked at Chen Ku with excited and hateful eyes, saying:

"Medicine King Hall, True Void Ancestor will kill all of you and avenge the leader and all our brothers who have died!"

However,

The next second, the young man's figure unexpectedly floated in the air, and he became immediately terrified:

"Ancestor, no..."

"Just borrowing your body for a moment."

Accompanied by the slightly old voice, the young man's eyes immediately turned a shade of gold, reflecting indifferent emotions, standing with hands behind in place.

"True Void Ancestor! Greetings, Ancestor!"

Suddenly, the remaining few Fish and Dragon Association members, seeing the change in the young man, bowed in fear.

Chen Ku, upon hearing the laughter, had activated the Yin Yang Eye to see a tall Divine Soul thought, looking like a dark cloud, enter the young man's body.

Watching the Fish and Dragon Association people bow to the young man.

"You are the True Void Ancestor?" Chen Ku squinted his eyes at the young man.

One of Peace Path's four Guardian Evil Gods, coveting his body.

The young man looked towards Chen Ku upon hearing.
