He put on his mask and then ran out of the room, he was shocked at the sight in front of them, the disciples were flying into all corners of the sect and yet they were still gathering to fight Huo Li who still seemed to be in a good condition to fight. The aggressiveness and the seriousness she put into the battle is something he had seen before, that is what happens when you offend her and procure her anger. They were the ones stealing from their sect so they had agreed that she should just knock them out but here she is beating the hell out of them.

OH MY GOSH!!! ​​

This is so different from what we agreed on, they must have done something to deserve such beating…

He thought!

Except the elder who kept on ordering the disciples to attack her, she had beaten every single one of them up, the last of them are still putting up a fight against her, a fight they are definitely not going to win…

Although wounded by her, ten of the disciples whom she had beaten up before picked up their sword from the ground and used up every ounce of the strength they had remaining to stand up from the floor…

"What are you fools still doing on the floor, stand up and attack her" the elder shouted in frustration, he just couldn't believe that the sect was drawn into such a state by a tiny girl, if the remaining elders and the sect leader were here, it would have been worse than this but they are all in seclusion leaving him alone to govern the sect, if they learn of what had happened during their absence, it would definitely cause trouble.

"Old man, why don't you do the job yourself instead of ordering these wimps to attack me," Huo Li said

I definitely cannot let this girl escape…

He thought!

The elder saw some disciples standing up behind her, then he smirked and said "even if you leave here alive, we will still hunt you down and find you using all the connections we have, if you know what is good for you, you had better surrender", she had already sensed his plan, she felt the presence of the disciples but she decided to play along with his play.

"No matter how much you search for me, you will never be able to find me but…" she stopped when she senses their breath on her neck, she quickly turned back and kicked the first two that raised their sword against her, Four of them attacked at once but she just held their cloth at their neck then she raised the four of then up and threw them away with force, the four of them flew fifteen metres away. The remaining four were scared to attack but it was too late….

She disappeared from she was standing and appeared at their front, they were stunned the moment they saw her in front of him, they felt like they were stuck to the ground, she punched two of them in the jaw at the same time, the both of them landed ten metres away.

She held the lapel of the other two then she slammed their heads together with much force, the both of them fainted immediately.

Then she turned to face the elder who was already scared out of his wit, she had just beaten up half of their disciples. She ran towards him but just as she was about to reach where he stood, about a hundred disciples came out of nowhere, they were the ones who were sent to look for the intruders in other places.

Then she immediately stopped.

"I see that there are still more of you for me to deal with," She said

"How dare you cause a commotion in our sect" one of them shouted

"Attack!!" the elder shouted, then they all ran towards her while she ran towards them….

"She is really enjoying this fight," Bingchen said, then he leapt into the air, just as she was about to punch one of them, he quickly held her waist and flew away from them.

"You are finally done," she said with a smile on her face as they landed on the ground, although she was enjoying the fight, she was still aware of the urgency of the situation.

"you seem to be enjoying this fight," he said, then he removed his hand from her waist.

"I haven't had fun for long, I just couldn't pass an opportunity to have fun for once," She said.

"So, you have just been stalling time for your partner," the elder said

"you had better return what you stole or else..." one of them shouted

"or else what, you are nothing but a bunch of useless trash," she said to them

"Sorry but we don't have much time to spend here with you," Bingchen said, then he held her waist again and flew out of the sect.

"Pursue!!!" the elder shouted, then they all ran after them.

-----------

They had already flown out of the sect, then they landed in the forest after minutes of flying.

"The alarm as gone of head disciple, there are intruders and they are in the forest already," a disciple said, the guard who was guarding the forest were unaware of the ruckus in the sect.

"Spread out and find them immediately" the head disciple commanded but before they could move.

"I am sorry but no one can go anywhere," Huo Qiang said

"What do you mean by that," the head disciple asked

"Sorry but it won't take long," he said

"I just knew that you weren't one of us, attack him," the head disciple said

As they came at him in pairs, he knocked them out by striking their neck with his unsheathed sword, leaving only the head disciple remaining.

"you…."

Before he could complete his statement, Huo Qiang had already knocked him out.

Just as he knocked the head disciple out, Bingchen and Huo Li arrived at the scene.

"That is a job well done," Bingchen said

"Did you get the herbs?" Huo Qiang asked with a serious expression on his face.

"I did but with much difficulty than you can imagine," Bingchen said

"Then let's get out of here, they are almost catching up with us," Huo Qiang said then they ran out of the forest. They found the disciple they had knocked out outside the forest still lying down on the ground in Huo Qiang's cloth. They were about to climb back on their horses when Bingchen stopped them.

"What is it, we don't have much time to wait," Huo Qiang said with impatient ringing in his voice.

"That guy has already seen our faces and he saw Huo Li use the whip, if they question him, they will find us," Bingchen said

"Then what do we do, should we kill him," Huo Li said

"No, we can't, we have already stolen from them, we can't kill their disciple" Huo Qiang said

"That leaves me with only one choice then," Bingchen said

"And what is that?" Huo Qiang asked

"I will use acupoint to erase his memory," Bingchen said

"That is something the flame sect can do but they don't know that we can do that, I had also forgotten about that method," Huo Qiang said.

He used his index finger and his third finger to hit his forehead, the middle of his head and the back of his head, then they all got on the horses.

-----------------------

"How is her condition?" the sect leader asked, he and his wife stood outside of Huo Ying's room, Huo Mei has been giving them different excuses to prevent them from seeing how she look like because of Huo Ying request.

"Her condition is getting worse but we are using tonics to keep her alive until they return with the herbs," Huo Mei said, the sect leader's wife was already looking pale too, she had refused to eat ever since Huo Ying collapsed, she had already lost all the strength and the vigour she had as the strong madam of the flame sect.

"You must all do your best, nothing bad must happen to her," The sect leader said then Huo Mei returned to the room.

When she entered the room, she saw Huo Ying trying to stand up from the bed but she couldn't, she quickly rushed to her bedside and held her.

"Young mistress, you have to reserve your energy," Huo Mei said, then she laid her on the bed.

Then Huo Lian entered with a bowl of tonic in a jade bowl.
