Chu Zhongan left the Hanhai Tower, but the masters of the Jinmo Camp did not leave. When Yuan Jue walked down the stairs, he found that the elites of the Hanhai Gang, including the deputy gang leader, were all on the fourth floor.
The moment Yuan Jue walked down the stairs, countless buzzing sounds came from all directions, and countless arrows were shot at the unconscious Hanhai Gang members, densely packed like drizzle.
Yuan Jue looked horrified. He wanted to stop him but it was too late. He could only watch the arrows falling.
When the arrow rain stopped, Yuan Jue ran up to the Hanhai Gang elites with a nervous look on his face. He observed them intently and his expression became strange.
Although those crossbows were densely packed, the elites of the Hanhai Gang did not suffer any damage. The masters of Jinmoying controlled the crossbows very accurately.
"We, the Hanhai Gang, have taken refuge with you, sir. What do you mean by this?" Yuan Jue said angrily.
Dozens of crossbowmen suddenly appeared around Yuan Jue, and their fierce crossbow arrows were all aimed at Yuan Jue.
Although the masters of Jin Moying were all covered with black cloth, Yuan Jue could also see that not only were these people young, but there were also many women among them.
A master from the Jinmo camp pulled down the black cloth, revealing a rather delicate face. He said with a sinister expression, "My name is Kuang Yang, and I will be responsible for the affairs of the Hanhai Gang from now on."
Yuan Jue said respectfully: "Then please take care of me, Master Kuang!" There was an imperceptible anger in his eyes.
Kuang Yang saw the changes in Yuan Jue's expression, and he snorted coldly: "Yuan Jue, today your Hanhai Gang joins my subordinate Jin An. I will try my best to help the Hanhai Gang develop and grow, but your Hanhai Gang's loyalty is still needed. Time will prove that if you and the Hanhai Gang do something harmful to Jin'an, the target of those crossbows just now will no longer be an open space!"
"Master Kuang, please rest assured. Since we, the Hanhai Gang, have made our choice, we will not betray you!" Yuan Jue's expression changed and he said respectfully.
Kuang Yang nodded slightly, winked at the other Jin Moying masters and said, "Let's go!"
In just an instant, those dozens of people disappeared. The speed and uniformity of their movements shocked Yuan Jue.
Yuan Jue smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the fact that our Hanhai Gang was taken down quietly was not careless. These guys are really strong."
He had an intuition that although Kuang Yang and others were not at a very high level, when it came to actually taking action, he, a young master, might not be able to defeat Kuang Yang in a one-on-one situation.
After leaving Hanhai Tower, Chu Zhongan returned directly to the restaurant, and he was shocked to find that Liu Ziling was not in the room.
Chu Zhongan was shocked and searched everywhere but found no trace of Hu Zi.
"Did Gu Daoxuan take action against Hu Zi?" Chu Zhongan felt suspicious when he thought of the old man's strange behavior towards Hu Zi during the day.
Thinking of this, he immediately rushed towards the saint's house.
Arriving outside Gu Daoxuan's residence, Chu Zhongan used his concealment method to the extreme before entering the courtyard.
Gu Daoxuan's yard was not big. There was still a light on in a room at this time, and Chu Zhongan approached it cautiously.
Through the crack in the window, Chu Zhongan saw two figures in the house. One of them was Liu Ziling, and the other was a kind old man. He looked different from the old man he saw during the day, but Chu Zhongan could be sure that these two figures Just the same person.
Chu Zhongan could feel a Taoist force covering the house. He couldn't hear the conversation between the two people in the house at all. It was obviously Gu Daoxuan's handiwork.
In fact, just when Chu Zhongan conquered the Hanhai Gang, something happened to Liu Ziling.
After Liu Ziling left, although he had no choice but to rest alone.
Before nightfall, Liu Ziling fell into sleep. However, in the second half of the night, his shoulders began to feel burning, and Liu Ziling soon woke up from his sleep.
Liu Ziling suddenly sat up from the bed, and a figure appeared on his shoulder. The figure vaguely looked like an old man.
Liu Ziling frowned and was about to reach out to grab it. The figure instantly solidified and turned into a kind old man, but he was still very small and exquisite.
The old man easily dodged Liu Ziling's hand and jumped down onto the bed. He gently stroked his long beard and said, "Huzi, I, Gu Daoxuan, please come with me!"
After leaving these two words, he stopped staying and flew straight out the window.
Liu Ziling was shocked when the old man called out his nickname. He thought for a moment and then made a decision. Before the old man could get far, he jumped out of the window and chased after him.
The small figure that looked like an old man was not very fast. Liu Ziling easily followed behind and arrived at the door of the Saint's Mansion in a short time. The small figure disappeared into the mansion and disappeared.
Liu Ziling stood in front of the door and did not go in immediately. He thought of Chu Zhongan's statement that the mysterious old man during the day was Gu Daoxuan, and he began to speculate a little more about Gu Daoxuan's invitation.
When Liu Ziling mustered up the courage to walk into the courtyard, there was only one room with lights on, and the voice of a kind old man came from the room: "Huzi, you are here, come in quickly!"
Liu Ziling was well aware of the terrifying methods of the saint. He was not surprised that Gu Daoxuan could sense his arrival. Regarding the title of "Huzi", he had a strange feeling in his heart, but he felt a sense of intimacy towards this saint for no reason. He paused. After taking a deep breath for a moment, I finally plucked up the courage to open the door and step into the room.
This room is similar to the courtyard. Although it is not small, it is not luxurious and even a little shabby. However, there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which makes the room more elegant.
A rather ordinary-looking old man was sitting on a chair looking at Liu Ziling with a kind smile. This man looked exactly like the shadow of the old man who had just guided Hu Zi's arrival.
"Junior pays homage to the saint!" Liu Ziling immediately clasped his fists and saluted when he saw the old man, his tone was very respectful.
"Huzi, you and I are not outsiders. No need to be polite. Sit down quickly!" The old man said without any airs, pointing to the seat in front of him.
Liu Ziling did not step forward, but asked: "Senior, what advice do you have for calling this junior over so late at night? Why does senior know this junior's nickname?"
Gu Dao As we all know, it seems you really won’t remember me if I don’t remind you!”
Under Liu Ziling's doubtful gaze, Gu Daoxuan made gestures in the air with his fingers. There were strange power fluctuations on his fingertips, and traces of light golden light would be left wherever the fingertips crossed.
Soon, as Gu Daoxuan finished his last stroke, a lifelike portrait of a character in the sky shone brightly, and a figure walked out of the portrait. The figure quickly solidified and stood in front of Liu Ziling, smiling warmly at him.
Liu Ziling was shocked by Gu Daoxuan's miraculous skills. He carefully observed the man transformed from the painting and frowned slightly.
This is a man about fifty years old. From his appearance, it can be seen that this man is the younger version of Gu Daoxuan.
Liu Ziling stared at the young Gu Daoxuan. His eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed: "Ah! You are Grandpa Gu!"
Gu Dao I came to the old Prime Minister’s house to pay my respects, but I didn’t expect that we have been separated from your grandfather for so many years!”
"Grandpa Gu, I remember seeing you twice, but I didn't have a deep impression on you. You also gave me a painting back then, which showed a group of squirrels. I liked it when I was a child, but the painting was in red. Rock Canyon is lost.”
Gu Dao It should be the time when I say goodbye to the Prime Minister."
Liu Ziling said with a complicated expression: "I never thought that the grandfather who gave me the painting could become a saint!"
"It's just a fluke..." Gu Daoxuan said modestly. He paused and his face became solemn and said: "When I heard about what your Majesty did to the old prime minister's family in Hongyan Canyon, I was very angry and helpless, but at that time I was just An ordinary painter doesn't have the strength to rescue the old prime minister."
"Grandpa Gu, you are not to blame for what happened in Hongyan Canyon. If I am to blame, it is those hateful Qinghe people and..." Liu Ziling suddenly hesitated and did not continue to speak.
Gu Dao It no longer exists, there’s nothing left that can’t be said.”
Liu Ziling nodded slightly and said seriously: "Grandpa Gu, are there any other important things besides reminiscing about old times that you asked me to come here today?"
"Huzi, the old man talking to you outside this house during the day is my incarnation!" Gu Daoxuan did not answer Liu Ziling's question directly, but said to himself.
Liu Ziling nodded slightly and said, "I know, Brother Xifeng told me!"
Gu Daoxuan was surprised: "The young man standing next to you actually saw my identity? I noticed a palpitating aura on him. This little guy is not simple."
"Of course. Brother Xifeng is the person I respect the most. He is the second son of Jin'an!" Liu Ziling said with a proud smile. He was even happier that Gu Daoxuan praised Chu Zhongan than he praised himself.
"It turns out he is the Crown Prince of Jin'an. So Huzi, have you also joined the Jin'an camp?" Gu Daoxuan suddenly asked.
Liu Ziling suddenly realized that he had let something slip. He fell silent and stopped talking.
Gu Dao It’s not impossible to enter the realm of transformation!”
Liu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "Do I really have such a high talent? Why don't I know it myself?"
"Huzi, I believe you, Grandpa Gu, your talent is very good. Now I, a saint, want to accept you as a disciple, are you willing?" Gu Daoxuan said seriously.
Liu Ziling looked shocked. He had no reason to refuse, so he could only say respectfully: "Thanks to Mr. Gu for his favor, Hu Zi is flattered. It is an honor for me to become Mr. Gu's disciple, but I have one condition!"
Gu Daoxuan was a little surprised and said: "Oh? Just tell me if you have any conditions. I guess it has something to do with Jin An!"
