At the mention of the words "alliance leader," Lu Hou'er's expression turned unprecedentedly grave, his eyes filled with gratitude and reverence.
As a local of Yanzhou, and someone personally raised up by that alliance leader, he knew full well just how formidable she was. That formidable nature did not merely refer to her methods and martial arts, but also to her background.
Perhaps she was slightly inferior to the great force behind Mr. Yue, but even a mighty dragon could not overpower the local snake. No matter how overbearing Mr. Yue and those behind him might be, within Yanzhou, they still would not be a match for the alliance leader.
"I knew Brother Lu was unwaveringly loyal to the alliance leader, which was why I did not wish for a misunderstanding to arise between us.
"However, I did not come here alone this time. In truth, the alliance leader sent me to investigate the situation within Lishou Mountain. I had only just made contact for a short while when Brother Lu discovered me. I have failed the alliance leader's trust!"
Lu Hou'er was not surprised by what this so-called Brother Tan had said. Pai Gang had already made quite a spectacle of itself beneath Lishou Mountain. The Jianghu Martial Arts World was roiling with wind and clouds, all watching the situation here. Sooner or later, it would draw the covetous eyes of great predators. After all, profit moved people's hearts, and Lu Hou'er himself had been driven by profit.
As for that alliance leader, all of Yanzhou was like her own backyard. Such a great commotion had now erupted, so it was only natural that it would draw her attention.
Still, Lu Hou'er was deeply curious.
"This matter has actually grown so great that it even alarmed the alliance leader?
