Chapter 147 Liuyun Mountain, Kumu Temple

"Young master, we've searched the villa and the surrounding area, but couldn't find Hong Jiu." Wang Chao reported to Wang Biao, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

Wang Biao pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems someone must have rescued Hong Jiu."

"Young master, wasn't Mr. Hong supposed to be recuperating in our villa? Why would someone come here to rescue him?" Wang Chao asked cautiously.

Wang Biao looked at Wang Chao, his most trusted confidant, who had followed him for nearly a decade.

Wang Biao had no need to hide anything from him and said, "Hong Jiu was gravely injured and wouldn't live much longer, so under the pretext of healing him, I plotted against him and absorbed all his Inner Qi. But shortly after I left his room, someone broke through the wall and took him away."

Wang Chao's face changed. He hadn't expected Wang Biao to dare to scheme against a top Ninth Layer martial artist like Hong Jiu and even absorb all his Inner Qi.
