Chapter 1584: Tiger in the Dream

“Cough… When I went out, I saw two men moving fast. They got to me in seconds… One of them… Well, I didn’t see anything. My chest got hit, and I lost sight… The house is in chaos… I… I…”

The steward, Zhu, started to cough again. His face was pale, and he was so weak. The man was going to pass out.

On his chest, there was a mark of a palm hit, burning his skin. That was shocking.

“Take a breath…” Master Guan moved over to him and took out a jade bottle.

It was some dan beads that he had been saving for a long time.

“It looks like the wound caused by the Red Phoenix’s attack…” Master Song moved over too. He looked at the wound on Zhu’s chest and said, “Was it really the Hall of Returning Nature? If the Hall of Returning Nature sent their powerful men to attack…”

As he spoke, he realized something!

Zhu, the steward who was dying, suddenly raised his head, and both of his hands reached out, glittering with sharp lights!

Two gray streams of light rushed out and hit Master Guan’s belly and Master Song’s chest.

Almost at the same time, the man hit the two old masters with extremely fast continual palm hits.

The two old men exclaimed. They never knew they would get hit in this way. They wouldn’t have thought that Zhu would attack them, and Zhu was obviously dying after all. It didn’t seem to be fake. He attacked so fast, and that meant he was as powerful as Master Guan, a level-eight Saint Origin Stage cultivator!

The steward Master Guan knew was never this powerful!

The man attacked at the perfect timing with a perfect move. The two old men did not have time to react before they got hit dozens of times.

The two old masters were blown away like two kites without strings.

Their bones were broken, and they were spitting out blood. They were severely injured.

Master Guan still stared at Zhu. He shouted angrily, “Old Zhu… Why did you…”

He was sure that it was his steward, Zhu!

He couldn’t be wrong about that!

Zhu was a brother to him for hundreds of years. He was the most loyal one! Why would he attack Master Guan?

The superior cultivators of the two clans were all shocked. They were all experienced and capable men. Within seconds, they already drew out their weapons and stood before the two old masters while surrounding Zhu.

“I am sorry, Guan Muyun.” Zhu sighed and slowly stood up. It seemed he felt guilty.

He was the steward. Master Guan was right. But he was not just the old steward Zhu. Who was he?

Who would secretly stay on Master Guan’s side for hundreds of years?

That was too much!

That was incredible!

Master Guan couldn’t believe it. He stared at Zhu, and he even forgot the pain he was feeling right now.

They were brothers who supported each other for hundreds of years. Why would he betray Master Guan?

They had been through so many life and death situations. They could trust each other with their backs. That was why Master Guan never doubted what Zhu had said in the first place.

He fully trusted the man, and he came to this place where Zhu told him to come.

He was sure that Zhu wouldn’t lie to him.

They had been through so much, which already proved Zhu’s loyalty. They had been through so many life and death situations!

However, the man he trusted actually lied to him and attacked him!

The attack was fierce and brutal!

Master Guan almost forgot the severe wounds on his belly because he was lost in shock. Five bones in him were broken! He stared at Zhu painfully, and his lips were shaking.

Zhu stood up with both hands behind his back. He was a little hunchbacked, and now he looked worse. He was encircled by these two powerful cultivators, but he wasn’t frightened. He looked at Master Guan with sorrow in his eyes. In a low voice, he said, “Old Guan, I am sorry.”

He said it twice.

“Why? Why would you do this?” Master Guan looked at Zhu and asked. He wanted to know the answer. As he spoke, he felt dizzy.

The wounds on his belly didn’t cause pain but itch.

It was clear now. Zhu, his most trusted friend, attacked him with poison!

If the poison worked on a level-eight Saint Origin Stage, then that must be some incredible poison!

‘He… He wants me to die!’

Master Guan was so sad that he actually wanted to laugh.

‘I trusted him the most…’

‘If he wants to kill me, he has missed many great opportunities… I have always trusted him… He didn’t have to wait… Why would he do it? Why now?’

Master Guan realized that he had fallen into a long-prepared plan! This must be a critical time!

“I am Zhu. It is my real family name… But… I am not Zhu Qingliu.” Zhu looked at Master Guan and spoke sincerely, “Two hundred and ninety-seven years ago, I didn’t tell you the truth. I have never done anything to hurt the Guan Clan and the seven clans until today! I never felt wronged to serve you. I never regretted being good friends with you!”

“Why bother? Why don’t you just tell me your name? I want to know who made me get through all this!” Master Guan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the poison in his body.

“I am Zhu Menghun. Believe it or not, I have done a good job for the Guan Clan in all the years as a steward.” Zhu Menghun sadly looked at Master Guan. It seemed like he was suffering to betray their friendship. “Old Guan, you must have heard of my name.”

“Tiger in the Dream! It is you!”
