C3944 Ming Sha!
Feng Qitong frowned slightly. She already did not understand what exactly Gu Huang wanted to do. There were some things that could be done, and some things that could not be done. Furthermore, if he wanted to trick the people from the Nie Family, it would not be easy for him to trick them if they did not appear.
"Wouldn't there be any trouble if we just sit in the house and do nothing? There are many ways to kill people. He can make the people from the Gu Family kill you, but can't I make the people from the Gu Family kill him? And most importantly, the people from the Gu Family are not idiots. If the Nie Family wants them to kill him, they will definitely pay a sufficient price. Furthermore, I am sure that the people from the Gu Family have already arrived. If they can borrow the power to kill people, can't I rebel?"
Gu Huang stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were focused on the front. The corner of his mouth revealed a hint of evil.
"The more you talk about it, the more confused I am. The fact that the people from the Nie Family asked the Gu Family to kill you is already unquestionable. Most importantly, even if you succeed in rebelling, wouldn't you be unable to find a way to frame the Nie Family for killing me? Furthermore, how are you going to tell the Grand Xuan King about this?"
Feng Qitong's face was filled with suspicion. Even though she was extremely intelligent, she was still stunned by Gu Huang, this old fox.
"Third Princess, just wait and see! This wonderful plan won't work anymore. Let's go! If my guess is correct, we will meet with an ambush in a day or two. Third Princess, try your best to keep the survivors alive. Don't kill them, or else it won't be fun anymore."
Gu Huang's mouth carried a wicked smile as he walked straight ahead.
"Little fox." The Third Princess was a little confused. She really didn't know what Gu Huang was thinking. Was it possible to rebel? Even if he succeeded, what should he do next? Even if he reported to the Great Xuan King, there was still Kong Yi. If he knew that he had been assassinated, he really didn't know what kind of crazy thing he would do.
—
In the Heaven Suppressing Marquis Estate of the Great Xuan King, in the Gu family's residence, an old man sat at the top of the table. He was dressed in a purple robe and was eight feet tall. Although his hair was white, his face that was filled with traces of age revealed a fierce expression. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but he was already four hundred years old. He was also a peak Divine Abilities Realm expert.
Even the current Heaven Suppressing Marquis, Gu Wuxiao, was the patriarch of the Gu family. In terms of seniority, he was Gu Huang's grandfather, Gu Tianzhong's eldest uncle, and also Yi Wuxin's elder brother.
"You know about the matter. The Nie family gave us the Red Blood City's tax of thirty percent every year. As long as they give us ten years of tax, the condition is that we, the Gu family, must kill Gu Huang."
"Big uncle, be careful. That old bastard Nie Kong is famous for being cunning. Our Gu Family had offered four hundred million Elemental Stones for the city, but they were unwilling to sell it. Now, we only need thirty percent of the taxes every year for ten years. Moreover, as long as we kill Gu Huang..."
"Gu Huang... Could it be the young genius who has been in the limelight recently? Rumor has it that he is also a rune master. According to our intelligence, he is the unintended descendant of our Gu Family. In other words, he is a genius of our Gu Family. Big uncle, this is definitely a trap."
"Right, big uncle. The Nie Family offered a city as a price to kill Gu Huang. They are afraid that there must be a conspiracy in the Central Region. Gu Huang had killed five hundred outsiders by himself, killed hundreds of people from the three academies, and even killed Shui Han. He is a genius of our Gu Family. If he is not killed, he will definitely become the genius of our Gu Family. Big uncle, there must be a trap."
Eight Divine Abilities Realm elders sat at the head of Gu Wuxiao. These were the elders of the Gu Family, and they were also the leaders of the nine main sects. They were usually in charge of the affairs of the Gu Family.
"Wuxin, that traitor, his descendant is also a traitor. When Wuxin left, he said that his descendant would never step into the dynasty. Since he is here, he should prepare to die! Moreover, Shui Han also died in his hands. If that little bastard has any family feelings, he should not have killed Shui Han. The Red Blood City must be taken down. As for that little bastard, let the disciples of the Wuji Branch go! In any case, this branch is a mortal enemy of theirs."
Gu Wu Xiao did not take this matter to heart at all. No matter what kind of conspiracy it was, there was nothing more important than the Crimson Blood City. Moreover, he was just a descendant of a traitor. Even if he was strong, he would not be able to do anything to him.
"Uncle, you must not underestimate your enemy. This Gu Huang is not simple at all. He is not simple at all! Nie Kongyuan is extremely cunning, but he doesn't dare to personally kill Gu Huang. If we rashly make a move, we will definitely fall into that bastard's trap."
"Uncle, you must think twice!"
"Uncle, regardless of whether we attack or not, we must first figure out the true identity of that little bastard! Otherwise, it will not benefit us at all. Moreover, that little bastard is as cunning as a wolf. If we are tricked by him, the Gu Family will be the one to suffer the loss. Furthermore, the Nie Family will also sit on the sidelines and watch."
The eight Divine Abilities Realm elders spoke one by one. Although they were a generation later than Gu Wu Xiao, they had the right to decide on some matters within the family. Even the Patriarch's opinion was enough to restrain them.
"Nie Kong Yuan, you want to scheme against me? You are not qualified enough. A mere Gu Huang is nothing compared to the Crimson Blood City. Hmph! The greatest secret of our Gu Family is in the Crimson Blood City. Three hundred years ago, the Crimson Blood City belonged to our Gu Family. Our ancestors once lost the Crimson Blood City, but this secret has always been in our hands. If our Gu Family obtains this secret, what does a mere five great families count as? Even the Great Xuan King is nothing."
Gu Wuxiao suddenly stood up, and his entire body released an incomparably fierce aura. The rune around his body flickered, and they interweaved into a special force field. The divine light around his body rotated, and another Gu Wuxiao's body appeared. Although it was a bit blurry, the spirit was extremely rich, as if it was alive.
"Spirit body, big uncle, you, you, you have broken through to the True Man Realm. This, this, this..."
"Other than the few Grand Elders, there is finally another new True Man in our Gu Family. Congratulations, big uncle, congratulations."
"Big uncle, congratulations!"
Several Divine Abilities Realm elders all congratulated one after another, and they were all guessing in their hearts. The biggest secret of the Gu Family, the Scarlet Blood City, what was the relationship between it and the Gu Family's secret? But this was a family secret, and other than the Patriarch, no one knew. The only person who knew was Yi Wuxin, who had betrayed the Gu Family.
"It's not perfect yet, but it's almost there. Kill Gu Huang with all your strength. We will not allow him to enter the capital alive. The people who are accompanying him, kill them all. We will kill him openly and secretly. Send the order to the Qingyang City's defense army to stop Gu Huang outside the city and prevent him from entering the city. If he dares to barge in, kill him on the spot. We will use the method of secretly attacking and invite the assassins from the Assassin Alliance to set up ambushes in the dark. Our Gu Family will assist them."
Gu Wu Xiao's spirit body dissipated, and his eyes were filled with a cold and gloomy light. Since the Nie Family was willing to give up the Crimson Blood City and not allow his clansmen to kill him, then the people of the Gu Family must not appear. If they attacked him with force, even if he had great abilities, he would still die miserably in front of the Assassin Alliance and the army.
In the Assassin Alliance, in the dark hall, there was only a trace of light in the middle. Lou Qian Zhong and Luo Yi were sitting together. The two of them were frowning, looking at the note in their hands, and exchanged a few glances with each other, revealing a bitter smile.
"Advisor, you saw it. The Gu Family has made a move, and they actually bribed our Assassin Alliance to attack. This price is as high as three million Elemental Stones, and the one who was killed was Young Master. Tell me! What should we do now? Are we going to accept this task? "
Luo Yi seemed to be rather helpless. If he accepted this task, Gu Huang would definitely not be able to get away with it in the future. After all, they were under Gu Huang's control, but the people below did not know. Moreover, if they accepted this task, they would definitely not let go of Gu Huang.
"The Gu Family has given us a difficult problem. If Young Master is to be harmed in the slightest, even if you and I have ten lives, it would still not be enough. If we do not accept this task, it will affect our reputation, and the people above will definitely suspect us. Therefore, we should inform Young Master first. How should we decide? Let Young Master decide! "
Lou Qianzhong was not a fool. After all, the Assassin Alliance had lost over a thousand elites. Right now, the entire upper echelon of the Assassin Alliance was very dissatisfied with them. Although they had temporarily hoodwinked them, it was hard to guarantee that they would not be suspicious in the future.
With this thought in mind, Lou Qianzhong sent out a Message Talisman, which also indirectly notified Gu Huang that the Gu Family was ready to make a move. At a place less than 20,000 miles away from Qingyang City, Gu Huang received Lou Qianzhong's message. His divine sense directly merged into it, and the corner of his mouth revealed a sinister smile, "The Gu Family is really going to make a move. It's really out of our expectations, but these bastards actually still have a trick up their sleeves. Invite the Assassin Alliance to make a move."
"The Assassin Alliance is ruthless enough! It's really ruthless enough! Young Master Gu, the next step of the plan is really very difficult to implement. Once the Assassin Alliance gets involved, it will definitely be a situation where they won't stop until one of them dies."
Feng Qiutong sat in front of the bonfire and gently placed a piece of dry firewood into it. She looked at Gu Huang thoughtfully.
"Third Princess, don't you think this is an opportunity? It really came without effort! I was just worrying about how to scheme against them, but I didn't expect them to come to me themselves. They don't dare to make a move, but the Assassin Alliance's attack is a type of assassination. There must be an open attack. The best way is to use the official's power. Moreover, they will definitely send the army of Qingyang City to kill me before I enter Qingyang City."
Gu Huang's mouth revealed a wicked smile as he directly sent a message to Lou Qianhui, telling him not to worry and to do as the Assassin Alliance had said.
"Attacking openly and assassinating them at the same time. I understand what they want to do. It seems that the Nie Family has still played a trick on them. They don't seem to know my existence at all. They dare to send troops to kill people, and their own people don't even show up. This is really a good move! Young Master Gu, our opponent is not simple! "
Feng Qitong revealed a smile. This was a confrontation in the air, and both sides were making plans. One was more sinister than the other. Gu Huang was making plans for the Nie Family, and the Nie Family was making plans for the Gu Family. However, the Gu Family was also on guard against the Nie Family. They didn't use their own people, but used other people as scapegoats. No matter what happened afterward, it had nothing to do with them. Now, it was up to who had the bigger plan.
Lou Qianhui, who was far away in the Grand Xuan Dynasty, received the news from Gu Huang. However, there was only one line of words on it, "Do as the rules." It was fine if he didn't look at it, but once he did, Lou Qianhui felt extremely uneasy. "What is Young Master trying to do? Everything is going according to the rules. We are getting rid of them on the surface, but he is in danger. If our people attack, it will be a result of a fight to the death! "
"Brother Lou, isn't this simple? Young Master is now famous throughout the Grand Xuan Dynasty. We will send out a secret order. The enemy is too strong, so we should act conservatively. If we can't win, we should immediately retreat. Even if the higher-ups know about this, we can still push everything away. As for whether Young Master will kill them or not, it is not our business."
Luo Yi waved his hands, revealing an innocent look. He did not take this matter to heart at all. No matter how many low-rank assassins he sent, they would only serve as food for Gu Huang.
"Let's do it this way." Lou Qianzhong closed the folding fan in his hand, revealing a look of contemplation. He had a feeling that there was a conspiracy behind him, a conspiracy against Gu Huang.
At dawn, dozens of shadows attacked Gu Huang's hiding place. They were like ghosts in the night, bringing with them an incomparably murderous aura. There were a total of thirty people, and the daggers in their hands were especially eye-catching under the moonlight, flashing with a soul-stirring cold light.
"Sir, according to the orders from above, the person we are going to kill is hiding here. The brothers in front have already found out that there is indeed a man and a woman. Their identities, appearances, and everything matches. Sir, do you want to make a move?"
A black-clothed assassin's figure appeared, revealing a pair of eyes filled with coldness.
"Kill."
The thirty assassins rushed over like a tide, their target being Gu Huang and Feng Qiutong. In an instant, Feng Qiutong and Gu Huang were on guard. The two of them charged out from the left and right respectively. "Third Princess, leave these trash to me!"
Feng Qiutong hesitated for a moment before retreating to the side. The corner of Gu Huang's mouth revealed a cold smile. The strongest assassins among these thirty assassins were only at the Congenital Realm. It was obvious that Lou Qianzhong and Luo Yi had concealed the information. These people were only serving as food for him, and the most important thing was to confuse the higher-ups.
Presumably, the people of Gu Family were hiding nearby. Since that was the case, he would put on a show for them to see. With this thought in mind, Gu Huang's speed suddenly slowed down by seven to eight times. His body was covered in obscure and dim rune, and his powerful physical strength and defense were sealed by 99%. The current Gu Huang was no different from an ordinary Genuine Qi Stage cultivator.
The thirty assassins swarmed forward. The daggers were covered in a blue light, and it was obvious that they were poisoned. All of them were aimed at Gu Huang's throat, chest, back, and abdomen, the vital parts of his body.
Gu Huang suddenly appeared to be in a panic. His footsteps and figure were in a mess. Facing the attack of a group of people, he appeared to be a rookie who was proficient in martial arts. Moreover, he was a rookie among rookies.
When the group of assassins saw this, they all relaxed their vigilance. This kind of trash was worthy of sending out thirty elite assassins. It was unknown what the higher-ups were thinking. They were simply too weak to withstand a single blow.
Feng Qitong also widened her eyes at the side. She could not believe her eyes. How domineering and powerful was Gu Huang? His combat strength was so terrifying. Why did he become so timid when facing these assassins? What was he trying to do? Could it be...
As he thought of this, Feng Qi Tong’s eyes flashed with an unparalleled brilliance. His spiritual will spread out like a tide and quickly covered a radius of fifty kilometers. He saw a few figures in a small forest five hundred meters north of him.
