Chapter 298 Gu Qingzi
Chapter 298 Gu Qingzi
And it was less than an incense stick of time after they left.
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
Dozens of powerful auras descended from the sky and instantly filled the entire valley.
The people who came were all dressed in the attire of Qingyun Sect elders, and each of them had a deep aura.
The leading elder, a white-haired elder, glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, and his face instantly darkened when he saw Zhou Zheng with a collapsed chest.
A terrifying pressure burst out from him.
The middle stage of golden elixir.
"Elder Zhou?"
An elder rushed over, checked Zhou Zheng's breath, checked his body, then shook his head with a pale face.
"Dead... his soul and spirit are gone, deader than death."
"And these disciples... were all killed in a single blow. The person who did it was clean and efficient, and his cultivation was far superior to theirs."
The entire valley was dead silent.
There was only the heavy breathing of the white-haired elder.
"That makes no sense."
"You dare to kill the elders and disciples of Qingyun Sect on our territory. You are simply courting death."
"Check, check for me!"
"Who was going through the tribulation just now? Who killed Elder Zhou?"
The guard Zhou Zheng had previously asked to report back immediately came out and reported tremblingly, "That... that person seems to be called Gu Hong, and there's a little girl with him."
"Gu Hong? A girl?"
The Great Elder frowned.
Could these two people kill Elder Zhou, who was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm? Or did another expert appear?
"They can't get far."
"There are still traces of spiritual energy remaining on the ground, and it's heading east."
"Chase."
The elder gave the order sternly without any hesitation.
"Send some people to collect the remains of Elder Zhou and the disciples, and immediately return to the sect to report to the Sect Master."
"The rest of you, follow me."
"I want to see who is so arrogant that he dares to look down upon my Qingyun Sect."
Before he finished speaking, he had transformed into a long green rainbow, soaring into the sky and rushing towards the east.
The elders of Qingyun Sect had just transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the sky, while the echoes of their angry shouts were still lingering in the wind.
Before the valley completely returned to silence, another group of figures landed silently.
Leading the group was an imposing middle-aged man.
Chu He, the lord of Tianyuan Xuanfu.
His eyes swept across the room.
The ground was charred black, with gullies crisscrossed by lightning. Mutilated corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt lightning.
He walked slowly to Zhou Zheng's body, squatted down, and looked solemn.
"A blow pierced through the chest, and the true energy instantly shattered the heart meridian and golden elixir."
Chu He stood up, looked around at the devastated scene, and murmured: "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation... This genius is not simple."
He received a message from the head of Taixu Palace, saying that a rare genius appeared here in a century.
Unexpectedly, I was still a step too late.
"He can kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core just after breaking through..."
"It's really amazing. Absolutely amazing."
Beside him, Ying Qi, shrouded in a black robe, spoke: "Palace Master, what should we do now?"
Chu He frowned.
"That girl Wan'er...was last seen around here."
"Go and find out where she is. No matter what, bring her back to me."
"What about this genius?"
Ying Qi asked.
A dangerous light flashed in Chu He's eyes: "A person who can trigger the nine-fold thunder tribulation..."
"I'll go meet him myself."
Whether it is a threat or a talent that can be won over, he must figure it out.
"Yes."
Ying Qi bowed, and his figure merged into the shadows like ink and disappeared.
Chu He took one last look at this Shura field, and with a flicker of his body, he turned into a streak of light and chased towards the east.
……
At the same time, a hundred miles away.
Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er were speeding at full speed.
Lingxiao City.
These three words kept echoing in Yun Chen's mind.
Tianji Pavilion, hope to find Ruoruo.
The two of them pushed their speed to the limit, and the scenery along the way turned into blurred streams of light.
As they approached the city, they entered a dense ancient forest that served as a natural barrier.
Suddenly, Yun Chen stopped abruptly.
Lin Wan'er followed closely behind and almost bumped into him.
"what happened?"
He raised a hand, silencing her.
In the clearing in the forest ahead, five strong men in the late Foundation Establishment stage were besieging a young woman.
The woman was holding a long sword and was trying hard to hold on.
With the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he is considered a genius at this age.
"Hey, hey, little beauty, stop struggling."
A man who looked like a gangster leader grinned and said, "Hand over the storage bag obediently. After we have our fun, we might even spare your life."
The others burst into obscene laughter.
Yun Chen frowned.
He didn't have time to meddle in other people's business and was just about to take Lin Wan'er to take a detour.
But at this moment, the woman shouted sternly.
"Do you dare to know who I am?"
"My name is Gu Qingzi, from the Gu family of Lingxiao City."
"My grandfather is the head of the Gu family."
"If you dare to touch me, I promise the Gu family will not let you go."
Yun Chen's body froze instantly.
Gu Qingzi?
Gu family?
When the gangsters heard her name, they laughed even more wildly.
"Gu family? So what if they're Gu family? If they kill you and throw you into this forest, who would know it was us?"
The bandit leader spat: "Come on, old man."
Five people rushed forward at the same time.
But before their swords could touch Gu Qingzi, a shadow flashed past their eyes.
It’s Yunchen.
A punch, a kick, and a finger gun stab to the throat.
In less than ten breaths, all five bandits fell to the ground, their lives gone.
Gu Qingzi still maintained a defensive posture. She was ready to fight to the death, but in the blink of an eye, all the enemies were dead.
"Are you OK?"
Yun Chen asked.
Gu Qingzi finally woke up from her dream, quickly sheathed her sword, and bowed deeply to Yun Chen.
"My humble self, Gu Qingzi, would like to thank you for saving my life."
"I will never forget your great kindness."
Yun Chen waved his hand casually: "It's just a small favor, just passing by."
"No, this is just a piece of cake for the benefactor, but it is a blessing of rebirth for Qingzi."
"If it weren't for you, I... I..."
Benefactor, please let Qingzi express her gratitude."
"Please come to my house as a guest. My family will reward you handsomely."
This is exactly what Yun Chen wants.
"Your family...Gu family?"
"Yes, the Gu family of Lingxiao City."
Yun Chen pretended to think for a moment before nodding reluctantly: "Since you insist so much, then fine."
Gu Qingzi's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile: "Great, benefactor, please follow me. It's not far from here."
She immediately led the way, with Yun Chen and Lin Wan'er following behind.
"Benefactor, I haven't asked for your name yet?"
She turned her head and looked at him curiously with her bright eyes.
"dust."
"Brother Chen."
"Where are you from? Your skills...are amazing."
"Just a casual cultivator."
“The world is my home.”
"You just said that your family... the Gu family is very famous in Lingxiao City?"
"of course."
Gu Qingzi immediately puffed out her chest and said proudly, "My grandfather is a famous alchemy master."
"Our Gu family is the leading medical family in the city."
"Many monks come to our house to ask for elixirs and medicines."
Yun Chen's heart moved. A medical family?
He remembered Pang Fu had said before that he was practicing the Gu family's medical skills...
Soon, several people entered Lingxiao City.
Finally stopped in front of a mansion.
Gu Qingzi turned around: "Brother Yun, we're here."
