After listening to what Shui Linglong said, Gu Shengchao found out that the leader of the Tianqing Gang was originally named Yu Zhenyu.
Yunqi Palace is the largest sect in Xileng Kingdom, with industries all over the country. It also plays the role of collecting and transmitting intelligence. The accuracy of various information sources is still guaranteed.
But when it came to killing the leader of the Tianqing Gang, Gu Shengchao couldn't help but hesitate.
The first glimpse he saw of Yu Zhenyu left him in awe.
Yu Zhenyu jumped down from the golden peak reflected in the morning glow. His free and easy way of jumping out of the three realms was really like an immortal, and people couldn't help but awe and admire him.
This person's cultivation and skills must be extraordinary.
Now that he wants to provoke such a god-like existence, Gu Shengchao has to think carefully.
Shui Linglong saw Gu Shengchao's hesitation and said contemptuously: "Why, you don't dare to go?"
Feeling the disdain of the other party, Gu Shengchao was also unconvinced and retorted: "I am a seven-foot tall man and have never been afraid of anything. I am just worried about your safety and weighing the pros and cons."
Shui Linglong looked at Wanyan Xi: "Sister Wanyan, are you afraid?"
"We're not afraid. Besides, we've been in and out of Happy House many times, so there's nothing they can do about us." Wanyanxi has experienced too much life and death on the grassland, but she has nothing to fear from them.
Gu Shengchao said in shock: "Have you already been to Happy House? And multiple times?"
"That's natural." Shui Linglong said proudly.
"We at Yunqi Palace have many eyes and ears. Someone has long reported to me the strangeness of Happy House. I took my sister Wanyan and sneaked in at night to find out the news. Only then did I know that the front yard of Happy House was open as usual, and the entire backyard was taken care of by the Tianqing Gang. , as a place where the gang leader hides his filth, obscenity and debauchery.”
Wan Yanxi continued: "And we learned that tonight is the last night that the gang leader will stay in Happy House, and he will set off tomorrow, so time is not waiting for me, success or failure will be tonight."
"Brother Zhuang, do you want to follow them?" Gu Shengchao asked.
Zhuang Lutao said righteously: "Of course I'm going. My people were kidnapped by the Tianqing Gang. It was Elder Shui who worked tirelessly to help us and repaid us both emotionally and rationally. Besides, isn't it just for us to learn martial arts to keep the people safe?" Punish the evil and promote the good? If you are greedy for pleasure for your own selfish interests, what is the difference between it and the walking dead?"
"I want to go too." Fang Ju was filled with enthusiasm after hearing what everyone said and volunteered to participate.
Gu Shengchao stopped him: "Tonight's action is a battle of life and death, not a child's play house. Your martial arts skills are low and you cannot protect yourself. In order to help you, we must be distracted. The enemy is most taboo about multitasking. You Just let Ma Guanshan help us keep our luggage."
"Who is Ma Guanshan?" Zhuang Lutao looked around in confusion, but there was no one else.
"That's Brother Gu's apprentice. He insists on learning martial arts every day." Fang Ju pouted in dissatisfaction and replied. She turned around and looked at him: "Hey, where did that guy go?"
Gu Shengchao explained: "I told him to leave early. He should be staying at the inn opposite Happy House by now."
"Without further delay, let's leave now to avoid things changing later." Shui Linglong ordered several people to set off immediately.
Living in the mountains makes traveling inconvenient. Firstly, the mountains are high and the roads are long. It takes time. Secondly, the mountain roads are winding and rugged, making the journey even more unpredictable.
If you go straight in one direction no matter how winding the mountain road is, you will save a lot of time.
However, there are ravines and crisscrossing peaks and towering cliffs. It is necessary to take off and jump over these obstacles, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.
Several people climbed over the mountains and ridges at night. At first, they were evenly matched, but soon they became separated.
Shui Linglong and Zhuang Lutao were competing against each other and were the first to bear the brunt.
Wanyanxi was blind and suffered a disadvantage. Coupled with her weak internal strength, she fell behind. Gu Shengchao was worried that she would lose her footing and fall into the mountain stream because she couldn't see the road, so he always held her hand and the two walked side by side.
Fang Ju followed at the end and panted: "You, can you, can you slow down, I can't run anymore."
Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi were waiting for Fang Ju to arrive. He knelt down and said, "Let me carry you. It will go faster."
"Is that okay?" Although Fang Ju couldn't bear it, her physical strength was really low.
Gu Shengchao saw what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Let's do this. I'll carry you on my back first, and then I can leave by myself after you recover your strength."
"Okay then!" Fang Ju lay down behind Gu Shengchao and asked him to carry her on his back.
Gu Shengchao, with his strong inner strength, carried Fang Ju on his back and pulled Wanyan Xi along, chasing the two people in front without showing any signs of fatigue.
A few people walked forward for a while and reached the top of the peak. Looking down, a town appeared dimly, with lights as big as the tips of embroidery needles looming.
"Brother Gu, please let me down. I want to leave by myself." Fang Ju felt that she had regained her strength.
Gu Shengchao laughed loudly and said: "Think about it? It's not up to you."
He took Wanyan Xi's hand and jumped down first.
As the saying goes, "It's easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down a mountain." When going up a mountain, you just have to climb bravely with your center of gravity forward. But when going down a mountain, you have to be extremely careful, because your body will lean back and your center of gravity will be unstable. If you are not careful, you will fall and slip into the abyss.
The ancient sage lightly tapped his toes on the tree crown, and the three people flew down like kites.
There was wind in Fang Ju's ears. Because she fell too fast, everything she could see rose rapidly, making her dizzy, dizzy, and frightened.
He simply closed his eyes and left all life and death to Gu Shengchao.
The mountain was rugged, and Gu Shengchao took Wan Yanxi sometimes to step up and down on the scattered tree crowns, as if jumping down the steps, and sometimes stepped on the rocks and rushed left and right to avoid the steep cliffs.
Not to be outdone, Shui Linglong and Zhuang Lutao followed closely behind, like several big birds floating downward in the night.
In only half the time it took to go up the mountain, a few people were approaching the town.
The small town was built against the mountain, with walls built on three sides. There were thousands of walls standing near the cliff, so there was no need for fortification.
The Ancient Sage slowed down the others, jumped down from the cliff quietly, and arrived at the city unknowingly.
When there was no one around, Fang Ju said softly: "Brother Gu, you can put me down now."
Gu Shengchao then squatted down and asked Fang Ju to get off his back. Fang Ju stood there and tried a few times but couldn't move her legs.
"What's wrong?" The ancient sage was puzzled.
Fang Ju blushed: "My legs are numb and I can't feel anything."
"I'll do this." Shui Linglong stepped forward and pinched the acupuncture points on her legs a few times. Fang Ju took a few steps forward and said in surprise, "Thank you, Elder Shui, the numbness in her legs is gone."
Shui Linglong said angrily: "You, you are very clear when you are learning, but you forget everything when you use them. I have taught these massage techniques in class, do you really not remember them?"
Fang Ju suddenly realized: "Is this the lesson on how to return a joint to its proper position after dislocation?"
Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows lightly: "You finally remembered. I remember asking you and Qian Hui to go on stage to give a demonstration."
"Elder Shui, stop talking. It's so embarrassing." Fang Ju was so ashamed that she grabbed Shui Linglong's sleeves with both hands and begged softly.
"Okay, I won't tell you." Shui Linglong knew that Fang Ju had a bad reputation, so she turned around and said to Gu Shengchao and the others, "Happy House is not far away, come with me."
Shui Linglong and the others were familiar with the road, followed by Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju. They turned through several streets and alleys and arrived outside Happy Square.
At night, the whole city is shrouded in darkness, only here is brightly lit.
Strings of lanterns were hung under the high eaves, swaying like tassels in the breeze, and the figures of pedestrians swayed along with them.
In the middle of the lintel are the three characters "Happy Square", which are particularly eye-catching against the colorful lights.
Gu Shengchao and Zhuang Lutao came a little closer. A pair of beauties with half-breasted breasts at the door waved their fans lightly and said with a sweet smile: "Brothers, come in and play!"
The two of them have graceful figures and charming voices, completely ignoring that they are accompanied by female companions.
Zhuang Lutao must have seen it before, so he waved his hand impatiently and said coldly: "No."
The two women were not annoyed, and still laughed and said: "Brother, go slowly, remember to come next time!"
Shui Linglong and Wan Yanxi ignored them and walked forward without squinting. Gu Shengchao knew that they had been inside and there must be a way to get in, so he was about to follow behind.
"Master, Master Gu, I'm here." Someone shouted loudly.
Several people turned around, and only Gu Shengchao and Fang Ju recognized this person. It was Ma Guanshan who was determined to be Gu Shengchao's disciple.
Ma Guanshan rushed over and said happily: "I booked the guest room and waited outside. Finally I'm waiting for you."
"You came at the right time." Gu Shengchao pulled Fang Ju to his side: "You should know this girl. She was originally a female battalion military advisor. She is leaving the Tianqing Gang with us. You should accompany her back to the guest room now. Rest, and we’ll find you when we finish our work.”
"Well, I happened to have booked two guest rooms, so I will give one to the girl. I will book a few more rooms, and you will come back later to rest and use them." Ma Guanshan saw that Gu Shengchao and the others had something to do, so he took the initiative to take on the logistics work. .
Zhuang Lutao stopped him and said, "We all have accommodation, you just need to book a room for your master."
"Fulfilling the mission." Ma Guanshan saluted, and he could not ask for more than to be able to serve the Ancient Sage Chao.
Fang Ju didn't want to leave and wanted to go with Gu Shengchao and the others, but Shui Linglong also persuaded her to go back, so she had no choice but to follow Ma Guanshan, turning back three times and reluctantly returning to the inn.
Gu Shengchao and the other four walked into a secluded alley. Wan Yanxi used his senses to detect and whispered: "There is no one inside the wall."
Several people climbed over the wall and walked around a moon door. Shui Linglong suddenly stopped and said uneasily: "Something's wrong, why is it so quiet inside."
Zhuang Lutao nodded and said: "Yes, the backyard is usually the busiest at this time, but tonight I can't see anyone. Could it be a scam?"
Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi released their perceptions at the same time. After a moment, they both said in unison: "Strange, there is really no one."
This result made Zhuang Lutao and Shui Linglong at a loss: "That's not right, where did they go?"
"Did you leave early?" Shui Linglong leaned over and ran backwards, followed by the remaining three people.
Gu Shengchao was afraid of an ambush and always used his senses to detect the surrounding environment. The huge courtyard was empty.
At the door of the backyard, Shui Linglong stopped and signaled everyone not to make any noise.
The ancient sage was so curious that he climbed up against the wall like a gecko and looked out from the top of the wall.
A team of hundreds of people was ready to go, with a flag in the middle fluttering in the wind. On it were the three characters "Tianqing Gang", and the fonts were outlined with gold powder, highlighting their unique identity.
