A private house somewhere in the city.
You Fang ran out of the secret room with excitement on his face. After finding the person in a secluded pavilion, he said with great respect: "Sir, I found his location, in the north of the city!"
Xiao Gaofeng glanced at him lightly, then withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance.
"Sir?!" You Fang was startled, thinking that he had disturbed the other person's practice, and his voice was much lower: "I found that person's location."
Xiao Gaofeng said: "Someone has already gone to the north of the city, and he has never thought of covering his whereabouts."
You Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked along Xiao Gaofeng's line of sight, only to realize that the direction he had been looking at was the north of the city, and the roaring sound in the night sky over that side had not stopped.
On the street outside Longmen Inn, as two figures shrouded in black robes appeared, the first people who arrived here turned their attention to the two men.
In the center of the crowd was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament, with a stunned expression. After confirming the faint aura on the other person's body, he no longer hesitated. He took a few steps forward and knelt in front of the two of them, "Elder!"
The Gu family is a family inherited by blood. As the actual controller of the Gu family in the Bounty Pavilion, the man is sure that the person coming must be an elder of the family. With this pressure from the blood, it is very likely that he may even be an elder who has entered the Council of Elders. .
Gu Yan took off his hood and asked, "Zizhen, are there any clues?"
"Uncle!" Gu Zizhen saw that the person coming was Gu Yan, and he felt much less anxious in his heart. He answered seriously: "From the initial thunder to the final sword roar, the whole battle only lasted a few breaths. By the time we catch up, When we got here, there was only a faint smell of blood and no one was visible."
"Where is the body?" the person next to Gu Yan asked.
Gu Zizhen looked at Gu Yan inadvertently, and Gu Yan said softly: "It's Elder Gu Tong."
Gu Zizhen buried his head lower and said: "There are scattered bones and ashes in some corners. The murderer was either prepared in advance or a habitual criminal in this area. He is good at destroying corpses and eliminating traces. As for the identity of the deceased..."
Gu Zizhen hesitated for a moment, and Gu Yan nodded lightly. After Gu Zizhen stood up and asked those who were not from the Bounty Pavilion to leave, he said: "The best person to confirm is Lei Tongtian. He is the only one in Juye City who can cast Lei Fa, that sword sound might be Du Ming, I have sent people to where they live, I believe there will be clues soon."
Gu Tong, shrouded in a black robe, walked to a certain place on the street, looked at the light ashes on the ground, and said to the two people following him: "The blood of my Gu family is here."
Gu Zizhen said thoughtfully: "Could it be Gu Da."
Gu Yan said in surprise: "Is he from my Gu family?"
Gu Zizhen said hesitantly: "He said that he was expelled from the Gu family because he could not even fully activate the Pangu body and the power of his blood was extremely weak."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, looked at his nephew, and said, "What's the relationship between this man and you?"
Gu Zi was really panicked, "Uncle."
Gu Yan shook his head tiredly and said to Gu Tong: "Although there is no evidence, it is very likely that he has arrived."
Gu Zizhen secretly speculated in his heart who the "him" in Gu Yan's words was, but in his heart he scolded Gu Da a thousand times.
Gu Da was exiled by the Gu family. And the fact that he can come here to manage secular affairs also means that his cultivation prospects are not favored by the elders of the clan, and he is a marginalized figure. The two of them naturally have a close relationship, so they often get together to drink together.
Gu Zizhen vaguely guessed that Gu Da might be responsible for tonight's movement, but because of Gu Tong's arrival, he never dared to speak out about this guess, because he knew Gu Yan could not protect him.
Gu Tong's eyes slowly swept across the street, and finally stopped at the door of the inn and walked over.
In the hospital, two old men stood cuddling together.
Gu Zizhen checked every room carefully before going to the courtyard and said, "No traces were left."
He asked the old woman: "There is so much commotion outside, but you don't know anything?"
The old woman's eyes were blank, and she said with a hint of fear: "Sir, we were very sleepy, and we don't know why this happened."
Gu Zizhen looked at the two people's helpless appearance, shook his head and said: "You may have been possessed by the incense. This matter has nothing to do with you. Go and rest yourself."
Gu Zizhen gave away two ingots of silver and asked the two old men to go back to the room. He took out a square ink stand and handed it to Gu Tong.
After Gu Tong took it, he knew what it was after a brief sense and said, "Is this the formation hub of Juye City?"
Gu Zizhen nodded and said respectfully: "Elder, if the opponent wants to climb over the city wall and escape from the city, he will inevitably trigger the formation. I have been paying attention to the situation of the formation hub. The opponent should still be in Juye City."
"Ha." Gu Tong chuckled and said, "This guy is really not afraid of death."
…
The Bounty Pavilion is a tall pagoda building covered with golden glazed tiles. It is located in the center of Juye City, and the area around it has always been the most lively area in Juye City.
At the window of a private residence, Mu Qing turned his gaze away from the golden tower not far away, turned around and said, "This location is very good. You are quite attentive to your work."
Lei Tongtian struggled to squeeze out a smile: "As long as the young master is satisfied, I wonder if the young master needs any other instructions?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "It's very late, I want to rest."
Lei Tongtian was stunned for a moment, and then he said hesitantly: "Can I go down?"
Mu Qing glanced at him, frowned and said, "You want to stay here?"
Lei Tongtian glanced at the woman beside Mu Qing and said quickly: "No, sir, don't get me wrong, I just, I just didn't expect you to let me go like this."
Mu Qing looked at his depressed and gray face and said slowly: "I think you should understand your situation."
Lei Tongtian recalled the severe pain that could tear apart the sea of consciousness not long ago, his shoulders trembled, and without any hesitation, he knelt down and begged: "Young Master, I can't hide this matter from the people of the Bounty Pavilion tonight, please leave early." Juye City.”
Mu Qing said: "It is indeed wise for you to live to this age. You can only live if I am safe, but whether I stay or leave has nothing to do with you."
Lei Tongtian buried his head lower, and after scolding Gu Da more than ten times in his heart, he raised his head and said: "Master, there is no place for me in this Yecheng. Please bring me with you when you want to leave one day." I, I have worked hard in Juye City for these years, and I have some money left over."
Mu Qing smiled when he heard this and said: "Are you the one who plans to follow me? If you really want to follow me, you should show your performance, not just any extra money."
Lei Tongtian's heart sank, and he said solemnly: "I have a thunderbolt bead. If it is a sneak attack, it can seriously injure Gu Zizhen of the Bounty Pavilion. This person has extraordinary late-stage cultivation..."
"I don't need your certificate of surrender. Killing is not what you do." Mu Qing said, "Don't show your face during this period. Just prepare a safe enough place at all times."
Lei Tongtian was certain in his heart and solemnly agreed: "Please rest assured, young master, I have worked hard in Juye City for so many years. There are several places that are very hidden and I can definitely avoid the Gu family's search."
Mu Qing hummed, remembering the blue thunder on the long street, and threw a jade slip to the other party, "Do your best."
Lei Tongtian was stunned and carefully picked up the jade slip on the ground. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head: "Master, this, this..."
"This is only half of the thunder method, but it is much better than your entry-level stuff." Mu Qing said.
Lei Tongtian's mood was extremely complicated. He could hear the impatience in Mu Qing's mood. He carefully put the jade slip into his arms and said goodbye: "Young Master, have a good rest."
After Lei Tongtian left, Bai Zhi walked to the window and looked at the Bounty Pavilion, which was becoming more and more dazzling in the night lights, but her mind flew back to the long street of Longmen Inn.
Seeing her serious expression, Mu Qing thought it was because she had killed too many people tonight, and enlightened: "Tonight I have something to say not only to these people, but also to you. Since they want to kill us, then It’s nothing to think about, don’t worry about it.”
Bai Zhi turned to look at him, hummed softly, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Actually, the master has misunderstood. Even if those people say that they are older and younger, I will not have any psychological burden if I kill them."
Mu Qing said softly: "Is it because they are all related to the Gu family?"
"Yeah." Bai Zhi frowned slightly, as if recalling a bad experience, and whispered: "I watched them force Master into the black storm, and I wished that everyone in the Gu family died. It's just that They probably know that we are coming. Even if they leave Juye City now, they can still wait for us deep in the Northern Wasteland. When will this end?"
Mu Qing patted her shoulder and smiled gently: "It will be over when I rescue your master and we all leave here together. Again, you have to believe me."
Bai Zhi thought of the battle that started and fell tonight, and she felt blindly confident in Mu Qing. She smiled and nodded seriously: "Yeah!"
Mu Qing slowly looked out the window in a certain direction and said: "My plan has not changed, but we will leave here before dark tomorrow at the latest."
…
The night gradually waxes and wanes, and when a golden edge lights up on the distant horizon, Juye City welcomes its morning.
Different from the morning in the south, Juye City is next to Beihuang, and the dew that condenses in the first half of the night will turn into hoarfrost covering the whole city in the morning.
At this time, people with hangovers are sleeping soundly, and even people with normal schedules will not step out of the house.
Bounty Pavilion, fifth floor.
Gu Tong looked at the plain white scenery between the sky and the earth, feeling a little comfortable. He smiled and said: "The identity of the winner has been confirmed. He is Ying Feng, the cousin of Island Master Ying. No wonder we have never been able to invite him to the clan as a guest."
Gu Yan looked at his back, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "That girl should be the winner's eldest lady. We are in the wrong for this matter. Since the identity has been confirmed, why should we stop the other party."
"No." Gu Tong turned to look at Gu Yan and said slowly: "No family understands the horror of the black storm better than the Gu family. Even if this person has early extraordinary cultivation, if he falls into the black storm, he will only die. , so what we do is a kind reminder, not an obstruction."
Gu Yan's eyes moved slightly. Regarding this matter, the Gu family has actually made a decision. Since it was the trouble caused by Gu Yuan when he was still the young master, then it is the trouble of the Gu family. From a family level, the Gu family has never Thinking that there is something wrong with you.
Gu Tong looked at his silent look, sighed softly, and said: "You were better talented than us at the beginning, but now you are in this situation. This has a lot to do with your temperament. Many times, you are not enough. Calmness, or indifference, to us, the world is big, only our own practice is the greatest, because we are in the Gu family."
"The head of the family has already sent a letter to Island Master Ying, explaining the dangers of the Black Storm in detail to him. I believe that at this time, Island Master Ying will not let a mortal strong man die in vain."
Gu Yan nodded slowly. Yingzhou Island was weaker than the Gu family. In fact, this was the unbreakable truth.
Gu Yan thought of another thing and said, "Gu Ci should be in contact with you. What is he doing?"
Gu Tong smiled slightly and said, "You will know soon."
