Chapter 895: The Scarlet Blade's Fury
The Scarlet Blade's Fury
In the study of the royal palace, Dong Zhuo never expected that he would almost lose his life in the close-quarters combat, causing the mysterious power within him to slip out of his control.
Although the emergence of this power could grant him even greater strength, it was not something Dong Zhuo could afford to let loose. Thus, he had no choice but to abandon the pursuit and focus all his efforts on suppressing this power. It took all of Dong Zhuo's might to finally subdue the power, and when he regained his senses, he realized that Princess San had disappeared.
However, while Dong Zhuo was still unconscious, Li Ru swiftly arrived with his men. After a brief understanding of the situation, Li Ru immediately ordered the sealing of Luoyang City, starting from the royal palace, and conducted a thorough search throughout Luoyang.
Despite their extensive efforts, the results were minimal. Even after Dong Zhuo spent three hours suppressing the power and regained consciousness, they still had no leads.
Dong Zhuo was furious with this outcome.
"Search, search with all your might! She must have been severely injured by the power's strike, and there's no way she could have escaped Luoyang City. Increase your efforts, and make sure to leave no stone unturned!" Dong Zhuo roared.
Amidst Dong Zhuo's fury, Zhang Ji and Li Jue bowed to him and then left to continue their tasks.
After Zhang Ji and Li Jue's departure, Dong Zhuo spent considerable effort to calm the rage within him. Turning to see Li Ru, who was frowning, Dong Zhuo apologized with a guilty expression, "Wen You, I was too reckless this time. Now that the Scarlet Blade has revealed itself again, the situation will become more difficult."
"What you said is true, you made no mistake. If that thing had disrupted the situation, it would have been difficult to secure Princess San and the Scarlet Blade. Now, we must act quickly to remedy the situation. Our immediate tasks are to find Princess San as soon as possible and ensure that the news of this incident reaches Lu Hai Kong as late as possible. Also, before Lu Hai Kong arrives, we must defeat the coalition of outer lords!" Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo after some contemplation.
"Leave the matter of blocking the news to me, and for the outer lords, let's have Zhang Fei use his troops again. Let the world see that the invincible cavalry is not Lu Hai Kong's 'Blood Cavalry' but my 'Black Demon Cavalry'!" Dong Zhuo grinned maliciously.
Li Ru nodded in agreement, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and then turned to leave and continue his work.
In fact, Li Ru had already begun working on blocking the news before Dong Zhuo regained consciousness.
However, this news was not easy to contain. The clash between two Martial Break Through powerhouses created an immense commotion, and it quickly spread throughout Luoyang.
The identities of the combatants had been vaguely guessed, and in this situation, how could they possibly contain the news?
All they could do was to close the city gates, strictly control the flow of information, and start preparing to dismantle Lu Hai Kong's intelligence network.
A few months ago, with Li Ru's methods, it would not have been difficult to disrupt Lu Hai Kong's intelligence network in Luoyang. But after experiencing the destruction of his network once, Li Ru had rebuilt it to be even more intricate.
It's not easy to break through in such a short time.
Moreover, Lu HaiKong is very concerned about Yue Ying's news and has sent someone to monitor it specifically. No matter whether the news is true or false, it has already been sent to Lu HaiKong via special channels.
By the time Li Ru realizes and finds Lu HaiKong's intelligence network, the news has already spread outside Luoyang.
Knowing that he has spent so much money, and still needs to spend ten times or even dozens of times more money, Hua Tuo himself feels a bit embarrassed, but there's no other way. His patient's condition is not optimistic, and if he can't quickly cultivate Tiger Heart Grass, he worries about his patient's situation.

So in this situation, Hua Tuo has no choice but to put aside his old face and ask Lu HaiKong for funding.
Lu HaiKong doesn't mind and generously gives Hua Tuo five million gold.
Lu HaiKong originally thought that five million should be enough, but he notices that Hua Tuo still feels a bit embarrassed, as if there's something he's hesitant to say. Lu HaiKong senses that he might have to spend a large sum of money, so he doesn't hesitate and grandly gives Hua Tuo 50 million gold.
Nowadays, Lu HaiKong has a real gold mine outside the city, with a reserve of 5 billion gold. Lu HaiKong is naturally rich and powerful, and Hua Tuo is the only one who can help him continue his life so far. To spend this money, Lu HaiKong personally feels it's worth it.
Hua Tuo's temperament is calm, and he's indifferent to the world. But asking Lu HaiKong for so much money makes him feel a bit awkward.
So at this time, when Hua Tuo faces Lu HaiKong, he can't help but feel awkward about himself. While he's thinking about how to make up for Lu HaiKong's loss, Chen Ping comes over and whispers in Lu HaiKong's ear. Lu HaiKong's face lights up when he hears the news, and after a brief farewell with Hua Tuo, he turns and leaves.
Watching Lu HaiKong leave in a hurry, Hua Tuo sighs: "Forget it, let someone else deal with this headache."
Hua Tuo says, turns, and goes back to his room. He spends an hour writing a letter, then finds someone to send it out.
While Hua Tuo is sending the letter, Lu HaiKong excitedly arrives at the North Tower.
Chen Ping's words are brief when he whispers to him, saying there's news of Princess Yue Ying from Luoyang.
Hearing this news, Lu HaiKong immediately comes over, but when he arrives at the North Tower, he sees Shi Zhi Cai frowning and Zhang Dao Yi, who rarely appears at the North Tower.
Seeing Lu HaiKong's arrival, Zhang Dao Yi quickly greets him: "Boss, members of the Luoyang Outsiders' family sent news through tools, saying that Princess Yue Ying appeared this afternoon, but it seems she fought with Dong Zhuo and was injured by him, according to rumors. Her life and death are currently unknown..."
Zhang Dao Yi's words are not yet finished when a terrifying, extremely domineering, and overwhelmingly angry aura rises.
"He's looking for death!"
