080. The Gu Family in Turmoil

“Go ahead, what is it?” Gu Tianyu said in a deep voice.

“Master Lin foresaw that something would happen to our Gu family. In a few days, Uncle, you will be implicated in a bribery case…”

Then, Gu Chenze recounted the events of the afternoon truthfully, including Wei Xun’s analysis and suggestions, making everything perfectly clear.

“Is this… is this believable? Chenze, your friend is just a young girl? I can’t help but feel it’s a bit far-fetched.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Nan Xiao replied in surprise. The elder’s cultivation was unattainable in his lifetime—what cooperation could there be between them?

The three, Laozi and Tongti Yuan Shi, were the first to walk out from beneath a tower shimmering with mysterious golden light. Then came Amitabha and Zhunti, both looking rather disheveled. After all, without the defensive power of the Mysterious Exquisite Tower, comparable to an innate treasure, the two were far less composed than the Three Pure Ones.

Guo Jingwu missed his strike, immediately changed his position, never giving the battle formation another chance to simultaneously surround himself and Di Jia.

As the two conversed, Arthur, guided by Beets, greeted the senior executives of the Sunderland Group one by one. His expression remained aloof, no matter how enthusiastic the others were—he simply nodded, sparing his words, pride and reserve written plainly across his face.

“I hold your life in my hands now! I can erase your former master’s spirit!” Ye Chen’s lips curled into a confident smile, as if everything lay within his grasp. Unconsciously, due to the evolution of the Zhou Tian aspect, Ye Chen now carried the profound aura unique to the Sovereign Sea Blue.

“This isn’t good.” Although the seven-colored radiance posed no threat to Yan Yi and Ya Die, Night Princess dared not relax. Her black wings, pierced through, suddenly closed tightly, wrapping herself securely within them.

It was merely that the price and responsibility were heavy. For the carefree Youlan, this bond was the greatest injury.

After explaining the need to bind the leopard-headed monster, Di Jia paid no further attention to what happened next; as long as he followed the group, it was fine. Now, hearing they could explore the cave residence, Di Jia was indifferent—if they wanted to wander, so be it.

This inner turmoil affected the control over higher-dimensional energy. The crimson battle dress lost its former brilliance, becoming dull and faded.

The axe’s light flashed by, containing the power to annihilate all, seemingly able to sever every law and principle and return the world to chaos. The aura it emitted caused the entire grand formation to tremble, reaching the brink of destruction.

“What is that, it smells so good!” Old Li, dozing in the fire barrel, twitched his nose, opened his eyes, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the open window.

This issue had already been discussed when Mo Fengye and Mo Qianyan went to find Qi Yinuo and the others. No matter what, the main thing was not to involve the Cang family.

Next, Sun Shan trembled all over, stammering as he revealed the inside story he knew, exposing the treacheries of the Prime Minister.

Watching the gigantic serpentine tail of Immortal Baishui descend from the sky, Feng Beichen could only hold onto Tian Shang, his soul lost, incapable of escape.

Senior brother. She was repenting. She would no longer tease him. That day, crossing the single-log bridge, she had frightened him as a prank. Thinking back now, she was filled with guilt.

Mu Ling’s head was heavy and dizzy, her breathing felt weak, and she could vaguely hear voices nearby. She strained to listen, wanting to know who was speaking, but could not make it out.

When she met her parents-in-law, they were exceedingly warm, but upon seeing her eyes, they immediately became furious and struck Hua Jinyu.

The people from the Zhao Kingdom’s capital arrived late and were settled in a place that had once been a vegetable market. In times of war, the market was merely a decoration; with a bit of tidying and some tents, a few thousand people could squeeze in and make do.
