Konoha Inn.
A siege took only a few breaths from start to finish.
The Gu family members left with indifferent expressions, leaving only a corpse and the panicked and speechless onlookers.
Behind the crowd, a man with an ordinary face glanced at the body on the ground and slowly walked towards the backyard.
He sat in his room until it was dark and quiet, then went to a rockery and went underground.
Yue Jiu looked at Lei Tongtian who was taking off his disguise in front of him and sighed: "Mr. Lei, I'm sorry about your adopted son."
Lei Tongtian shook his head and said: "It is very easy for the Gu family to find out these connections of mine in Juye City. I am confused. Just let him go south by himself."
Yue Jiu frowned and said: "They know that Gu Yuan is in our hands, why do they still dare to do these things?"
"They are forcing us to take action." A cold voice sounded from the corner.
Yue Jiu looked over and saw that Bai Qingyi was holding a candle and looking at the map hanging on the wall. She sighed: "Bai Zhi was in a bad mood the past few days. When I asked, I found out that an old couple in the north of the city had died. Today, Mr. Lei My adopted son is also dead, who will be next?"
Bai Qingyi turned around and put down the candle, and said to the two people who were depressed: "There is no need to guess the thoughts of people who have no bottom line. This will allow us to do what they expect."
Yue Jiu looked at Bai Qingyi, whose figure was only half illuminated by the candlelight, and fell silent.
Bai Qingyi has been alone in Juye City for so many years. Maybe he has experienced this situation very early.
Lei Tongtian stopped talking and said slowly: "Miss Bai, I know it's best if we don't move, but if we do nothing, it will be a matter of time before we are discovered. We must take this into consideration."
Bai Qingyi nodded and said, "Indeed. So we are all betting. The Gu family is betting that they can find us before Mu Qing comes out, and we are betting that we will not be discovered before Mu Qing comes out."
Lei Tongtian confessed: "I originally wanted to tell my adopted son a few things, but it might have been exposed here."
"Without this incident, this place would have been monitored all the time." Bai Qingyi said in a calm tone, "But don't worry, unless the head of the Gu family personally, no one from the Presbyterian Council would discover this place."
Lei Tongtian nodded silently, but Yue Jiu couldn't suppress his curiosity and said, "I can feel that Miss Bai's breath is very strange these days. Are you okay?"
Bai Qingyi touched her eyebrows, shook her head and smiled: "I'm fine, but just in case, I hope you two can help me do a few things..."
After Yue Jiu and Lei Tongtian left, Bai Qingyi came to the deepest stone room.
Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone bed. After hearing the movement, he opened his eyes and looked, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Baizhi has been delivering medicine to me these days. You haven't been here for a long time."
Bai Qingyi glanced at Gu Yuan coldly, "I'm not Bai Zhi. I have to work hard to even look at you."
Gu Yuan looked at Bai Qingyi's cold face and agreed, "Suppressing the murderous intention is indeed a very hard task."
Bai Qingyi walked up to Gu Yuan and pointed a finger at the center of Gu Yuan's eyebrows. A hint of displeasure flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, but he did not resist.
Bai Qingyi took back her hand, nodded and said, "You are quite honest."
When Gu Yuan saw Bai Qingyi turning around to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "How long will I have to take this blood-consuming pill?"
Bai Qingyi stopped and said, "Then just pray. Pray that Mu Qing and Miss Ye will be safe and sound."
"Mu Qing..." Gu Yuan frowned, "It has been a month since I left the Guiyuan Secret Realm. You will appear here tonight. It shouldn't be good news outside, right?"
Bai Qingyi's slender eyebrows moved slightly and she said seriously: "Mu Qing is very fast. He has already passed Dusheng Mountain. As for why I came to see you... Actually, there is no need to hide it from you. I will keep the news about you in my hands." It was given to the Gu family, but there were some problems in the process."
"You want to trade me for Mu Qing's safety." Gu Yuan raised his head and said, "What could go wrong?"
Bai Qingyi said: "The Gu family has killed a lot of people in Juye City these days, and even arrested a lot of people. Your father, the head of the family, doesn't care about your safety. If they found this place before Mu Qing appeared, it would only be I wish you could die."
Gu Yuan fixedly looked at Bai Qingyi,
After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Some people in the Presbyterian Church have been wanting to replace me as the young master. The resistance may come from this aspect."
Bai Qingyi chuckled softly: "Your father is just weighing the pros and cons. Putting aside these unpleasant things, I found something very interesting."
Bai Qingyi looked at Gu Yuan and said word by word: "Not only is Gu Tong not dead, he has also returned to the Gu family. All the recent movements in Yecheng are all caused by him."
Gu Yuan's face twitched, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, "If you let me go back to the Gu family now, I will not only kill Gu Tong, but also let you and Mu Qing go."
Bai Qingyi asked: "Can your position as young master still be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations?"
Gu Yuan looked into Bai Qingyi's eyes and said seriously: "If I return to the Gu family, I will not speak as the young master, nor will I act as Gu Tian's son. I will use my fists to make those stupid and conservative people All the guys died at my feet."
Bai Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Yuan and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from your experience in the secret realm."
Gu Yuan looked at the murderous intent in Bai Qingyi's eyes and said, "If you think that the Gu family is a group of people with no bottom line, then you should let me go back and I will change these things."
"No, I don't have so many thoughts about the Gu family." Bai Qingyi said, "I just want the Gu family to disappear completely from this world."
A trace of evil flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and a large area of witch totems appeared under his skin. The aura on his body surged, and he instantly climbed to the late extraordinary stage. However, as soon as the cold aura suddenly spread from the center of his eyebrows to his whole body, he was forced to Stopped his breath.
Bai Qingyi looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "The blood in your body has not been restored, but you can activate the power of the witch clan. To be honest, I am a little surprised."
Gu Yuan wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, looked at Bai Qingyi with squinted eyes and said: "Compared with these, you have changed even more. In one month, you have broken through from the early stage of transcendence to the middle stage of transcendence, and even faintly touched the transcendence." The threshold of later stages.”
Bai Qingyi didn't intend to talk to Gu Yuan, so she turned and walked towards the door.
Gu Yuan looked at her back and said with a complicated expression: "I really can't understand Mu Qing. He actually gave you the energy of chaos."
Bai Qingyi paused slightly, with a cold light in his eyes, "It seems you want to die."
Gu Yuan said nonchalantly: "You can do it now."
Bai Qingyi shook his head and said in a pitiful tone: "Gu Tian knew what Gu Tong did, but he wanted more, so much so that he included everything in his calculations, including yours. Life. Sadly, so are you."
"This is also the biggest difference between us and you."
After Bai Qingyi said this, he left the stone room without looking back.
Gu Yuan looked at the closed stone door and said, "Isn't it more responsible to consider your own life? Or are you not planning to leave Juye City alive... From this point of view, we are indeed different."
Gu Yuan looked away and was suddenly startled. There was a photo orb on the table next to him, recording everything that had just happened.
A few days later, the photo-taking orb slipped away quietly and landed in the hands of a casual cultivator.
After the casual cultivator saw the contents of the orb, he looked horrified and found Gu Tong, who was looking for someone in the city.
There are no unnecessary images in the orb, only the deep and gloomy voice of a young man, telling a story about greed and betrayal.
Gu Tong sat back in his chair, clutching the photo orb in his hand. He looked at the casual cultivator kneeling in front of him and asked in a cold voice: "Where are the others who know about this thing?"
The casual cultivator buried his head very low and replied: "He is already dead."
Gu Tong's eyes fell on the exposed back of the casual cultivator's neck and asked: "There is only a voice here, and there are no names in the story. Why are you so nervous?"
San Xiu was the one who spread the news about Gu Yuan's capture for Gu Tong. He had been feeling that someone was secretly watching him these days and had thought about countless possibilities. When Gu Tong asked him this question, he felt a little at a loss. , "Elder, it is very abnormal for this thing to appear at this time."
The murderous intention in Gu Tong's heart was already overwhelming, but he didn't
There was no trace of emotion on his face, and he said, "Can you find out who poured the stuff out?"
The casual cultivator lowered his body and said, "This subordinate is incompetent."
Gu Tong said expressionlessly: "You are indeed incompetent, but you did a good job. At least you did not send this letter to the wrong person."
The casual cultivator was shocked. Before he could make any move, Gu Tong appeared in front of him and ended his life with one palm.
Gutong shook off the blood from his fingertips, turned to look at the window aside, and said, "What do you think?"
Xiao Gaofeng stood in the corner ignored by Tianguang. Hearing this, he said: "It seems that Gu Yuan has cooperated with them."
Gu Tong frowned slightly, "I did ignore this possibility. That woman Bai Qingyi stayed rational."
Xiao Gaofeng looked at Gu Tong who was standing beside the body and said, "Since you did those things, you shouldn't let the people who know about it live for so long. This is something you can't change no matter how you calculate."
Gu Tong nodded, looked at the photo orb in his hand, and said solemnly: "This thing will be in my hands, which is a warning."
Xiao Gaofeng suggested: "We can't force them anymore. Call everyone from the Gu family back."
Gu Tong looked into Xiao Gaofeng's eyes and said, "When Gu Yuan comes back, I will die. Can you help me find them?"
Xiao Gaofeng remained silent.
Gu Tong threw an elixir to Xiao Gaofeng with a heartbroken look on his face, "The second elder just came out of seclusion. This is an elixir he gave me, which can help you have the real power to transform into a mortal."
Xiao Gaofeng took the elixir and said with a smile: "I will find them as soon as possible, and I can also kill everyone else except Gu Yuan for you."
Gu Tong nodded, "Gu Yuan, we will take action personally. We don't have much time."
Xiao Gaofeng looked at Gu Tong's panicked figure, shook his head, and disappeared from the window.
Not long after, Xiao Gaofeng appeared outside a pavilion.
He looked at the majestic and powerful figure in the pavilion, lowered his eyes subconsciously, and handed the elixir he had just obtained to the ancient shadow wearing a mask beside him.
"Master, this is an elixir given to Gu Tong by the second elder. He wanted me to do something, so he gave it to me again."
"Blood Yuan Dan, this thing is really good, you can keep it yourself."
Gu Tian turned to look at Xiao Gaofeng and said: "You need to further gain their trust. Gu Ying will tell you what to do when the time comes. Go on."
Xiao Gaofeng left consciously. Gu Ying said to Gu Tian with some admiration: "Master, the appearance of the photo orb is enough to prove that the young master is in Bai Qingyi's hands. Can we prepare the blood shadow formation in the city to confirm that the young master s position?"
Gu Tian shook his head and said: "I have already used the induction technique. Yuan'er's aura has been completely obscured. I'm afraid the blood shadow formation is useless."
Gu Ying was a little anxious, "Are we really going to be threatened by those people?"
Gu Tian handed the sacred bone plate to Gu Ying and said: "Just wait, they will start to move by themselves. And you have more important things to do. The Great Elder made a divination. Within ten days, Bei A peerless treasure will be born in Huanghui, which is probably related to Na Mu Qing, and keeping him is the key to everything."
