Konoha Inn.
The guests who were chatting and laughing a moment ago were all standing together, not daring to make any noise.
Surrounded by a group of people, Gu Zizhen walked past these people and headed straight to the backyard.
In the backyard, a man slumped in a wheelchair cursed at the top of his lungs, "A bunch of idiots, if we look any further, there's no way they can escape!"
Gu Zizhen came behind the man. The man looked back and was so frightened that he rolled from the wheelchair to the ground. He said nervously: "Pavilion Master, I didn't lie to you. They were all still here before I left. There must be movement. It alarmed them so much that they must not have gone far!" @
Gu Zizhen looked at the empty man on the ground, frowned slightly, signaled the people around him to disperse, and squatted in front of him, "Song Fu, the elder wants to see you."
Song Fu's face was filled with joy, and then he immediately became nervous, and he said calmly: "I didn't expect that the Pavilion Master had already told the elders of the Gu family, but Song Fu was incompetent and failed to keep Lei Tongtian's group."
Gu Zizhen shook his head, "I wanted to investigate this matter myself, but he noticed you when you appeared next to me."
Song Fu was shocked and looked at Gu Zizhen with a pale face. He just wanted a chance to get a reward, but why did he seem to be involved in a terrifying dispute.
Gu Zizhen ignored the pleading in Song Fu's eyes, carried Song Futi back to the wheelchair with an indifferent expression, and pushed the wheelchair out of the inn.
In the spacious and deserted mansion, Gu Zizhen pushed Song Fu towards the garden.
Under the pavilion in the garden, Gu Tong, who was shrouded in a black robe, turned his back to the two of them and said, "You have been in the study for a while. What are you doing?"
Gu Zizhen looked down at the ground and replied: "Song Fu came to the door on his own initiative. I didn't have time to verify the information he provided, so I didn't dare to waste the elder's time."
Gu Tong turned around, looked at Gu Zizhen who stopped some distance away from the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Then what did you gain?"
Gu Zizhen said: "This person once met Mu Qing and the others in a ruins, and it was Mu Qing who saved him. According to him, several people related to Mu Qing have been staying in Mu Qing during this time. Ye Inn.”
Gu Tong's eyes moved slightly, and he came to the two of them and looked at Song Fu condescendingly, "Who are they?"
Song Fu said nervously: "Let me tell the elders that the person I am most familiar with is the casual cultivator Lei Tongtian. There is also a man and a woman. The woman's surname is Bai, and the man seems to have some relationship with the Lin family in Xishan."
Gu Tong's arms hanging in his sleeves suddenly tightened. He subconsciously thought of Bai Qingyi and looked at Gu Zizhen, "Has the identity of the woman named Bai been confirmed?"
Gu Zizhen nodded: "It's a little girl. I guess she is Bai Zhi who was captured by the young master and the others."
"Baizhi..."
Gu Tong nodded and said to Gu Zizhen: "Zizhen, you go down first. You can send someone to look for a move near the Konoha Inn."
Gu Zizhen glanced at Song Fu and said, "Then I'll make arrangements first."
After Gu Zizhen left, Gu Tong returned to the pavilion. Song Fu, sitting on pins and needles, stepped forward and said, "Elder, do you have anything to ask?"
Gu Tong glanced at him and said, "What else can you say?"
Song Fu fell to the ground with a thump and begged for mercy: "Elder, I just want to survive. I will say whatever you ask."
Gu Tong frowned slightly. After being silent for a long time, he turned to look at the sky outside the pavilion. "If I can find out that you went to find Gu Zizhen, then someone can also find out that you went to find me. You should not have appeared in the first place."
When Song Fu heard this, his heart became cold and he lay helplessly on the ground, not daring to say another word.
After a long time, there was a sound of wind outside the pavilion, and a figure fell outside the pavilion.
Gu Tong looked at the visitor with a bleak look on his face and asked, "Where did he die?"
Xiao Gaofeng glanced at the dead dog-like guy on the ground and said expressionlessly: "Outside the city, before he contacts the second Gu family."
Gu Tong was obviously relieved when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the master of the family did not lie to me. Even a junior like Gu Zizhen is doubting what happened in the secret realm."
When Gu Tong spoke, he looked at Xiao Gaofeng's face and was a little surprised: "Aren't you curious?"
Xiao Gaofeng said: "Your home
The Lord is not the head of my household, I am cooperating with you. "
Gu Tong nodded: "According to the current development of the situation, it is really possible for Mu Qing to leave the Realm of Absolute Spirits. The Gu family will set up a dragnet in the ruins, but with the intervention of the winner and the Lin family, many things will become more variable. "
Xiao Gaofeng looked at Gu Tong, "I'm not a fool. If Mu Qing can't be killed in this scene, I won't be able to take action."
Gu Tong smiled and said: "The variable is that there is still someone weighing the interests. If the Gu family really takes action, how can it be impossible to get rid of this person."
Xiao Gaofeng lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Before killing Gu Zizhen, you asked me to use the swordsmanship that best represents the Xishan Lin family. Who are you going to kill next?"
Gu Tong smiled: "It can't be Mu Qing."
Xiao Gaofeng took a deep look at Gu Tong, nodded slightly, and left the garden.
In the pavilion, Gu Tong looked at Song Fu who closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, and said with a smile: "It seems that they didn't know that I was still in the Gu family, so they sent your letter directly. This result is not bad."
Someday.
Because a piece of news spread, the situation in Juye City became strange.
The casual cultivators who gathered together in the past chose to stick together and cast their cunning eyes on every object that could be suspected.
Because of this, inexplicable battles are always taking place on the streets of this city.
In the mansion that lost its owner, Gu Tong pushed Song Fu in front of Gu Tian and said with a look of regret: "Master, it's my incompetence that failed to save Zizhen, let alone maintain order in Yecheng."
Gu Tian, who came to Juye City from Beihuang, looked at Song Fu with a frosty look on his face, "Did you let out the news in the city?"
Gutong shook his head and said: "It was the news they released. After this person surrendered, I asked Zizhen to return to the clan to ask for help, but their previous approach to the Konoha Inn was too reckless. I did not expect their revenge. If he comes so fast, he will intercept and kill Zizhen halfway."
"And Bai Qingyi also escaped and seems to have maintained some kind of contact with Mu Qing. She knew that the young master was in the hands of Mu Qing and let the news out. Perhaps our searches in the past few days gave them a big pressure."
Gu Tian looked at Gu Tong coldly, "You mean, they made this news known to the whole city to threaten us?"
Gu Tong opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak, and finally knelt directly in front of Gu Tian, "It is my incompetence that puts the young master in such a dangerous situation."
Gu Tian looked at Gu Tong condescendingly and said in a deep voice: "Intensify efforts to find these people. Since you have promised some benefits to some casual cultivators in private, why not be honest and tell anyone who can provide useful clues about these rats?" Being cultivated by the Gu family, if someone catches me, he can directly become the elder of my Gu family."
Gu Tong nodded and stood up before mentioning Song Fu, who was slumped in a wheelchair with dull eyes, and said: "I kept this person by my side at that time, with the intention of protecting him, but I didn't expect that he would be like this now."
Gu Tian sneered and said: "This person was able to find Gu Zizhen under their noses. It was just a letter. It's just that you were too stupid to understand and ended up like this. Take him out."
Gu Tong humbly accepted the scolding and retreated with Song Fu.
A moment later, a masked man appeared in front of Gu Tian, knelt on one knee and said: "Master, I secretly caught a few people spreading information. Their information all came from a person who was closely related to the Bounty Pavilion. Xiu, this casual cultivator happened to be the one who came to rescue Gu Zizhen on the day of his death."
Gu Tian stretched out his hand to stop the masked man from reporting, and said: "Gu Ying, just state your judgment."
The masked man named Gu Ying raised his head and said word by word: "Gu Tong deceived the head of the family. He spread the news. The rogue cultivator is a suspect. I suspect that Gu Zi's real death is related to Gu Tong."
Gu Tian raised his head and looked at the direction Gu Tong left, was silent for a moment, and said: "That Song Fu's sea of consciousness has not been destroyed, but it has been greatly frightened. He is indeed a letter, but this letter should have reached me The threatening letter in my hand was known to everyone.”
"Gu Tong did these things without thinking that he could hide them from me."
Gu Ying was puzzled: "Why did Gu Tong do this? Is he not afraid of death?"
Gu Tian said expressionlessly: "This Song Fu is not dead. He even gave me a handle on him."
Gu Ying suddenly reacted and said angrily: "If the head of the family takes action against him because of this matter, some people in the Presbyterian Church will definitely be very happy."
"Some people in the Presbyterian Church have always looked down on Yuan'er, or they can't stand me." Gu Tian shook his head, "Since Gu Tong will leave this level of his plan to you to discover, these are nothing in my eyes. Point."
Gu Ying thoughtfully said: "Gu Tong's method is good, he created the atmosphere. Now everyone in Beihuang is watching the attitude of the family leader, whether to compromise to save people or to continue to exert pressure. If the current situation continues to develop, Young Master The situation will become more and more difficult. If the conflict completely intensifies, then the young master will..."
Gu Ying was stunned: "Killing someone with a borrowed knife, is this Gu Tong's purpose?"
Gu Tian said calmly: "He is a little smart, but not much. In the land of Beihuang, Mu Qing and the others will only try their best to protect Gu Yuan. Want to intensify the conflict and force those people to take action against Gu Yuan? It seems that Gu Tong doesn't want to Let these people who know what he did in the secret realm of Guiyuan survive."
Gu Ying said regretfully: "It's just that it's probably impossible to contact people like Bai Qingyi now."
Gu Tian shook his head, "Just watch and see if he can make any noise."
Gu Ying asked: "When can I kill Gu Tong?"
Gu Tian said: "Before there was any movement in the ruins of Xichuan City, Gu Tong let him do whatever he wanted. He was forcing Bai Qingyi and the others. I was forcing him. I hope they won't let me down."
Gu Ying nodded: "It's just a pity that the young master is in the hands of Mu Qing and not in the hands of these people in the city."
Gu Tian looked at the regretful Gu Ying and said with a smile: "You haven't figured it out yet? Then Bai Qingyi took the risk and just sent a more provocative letter?"
Gu Ying reacted and said in shock: "Maybe the young master is in the hands of these people?"
Gu Tian said: "I'm not sure, but these things Gu Tong has done are proving this guess for me."
Gu Ying said anxiously: "This Gu Tong is more hateful than Mu Qing and those people. He actually wants to put the family leader in a dilemma. Why doesn't the family leader tell Gu Tong's thoughts to those in the Presbyterian Council?"
Gu Tian glanced at him and said, "You can't help but want to kill him, right? But if we kill him now, how can we continue to perform this scene that makes other people pay the price?"
