Chapter 334 News Leaked
In this way, Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo stayed in the inn for three whole days without showing up.
However, Lingxiao City and even many surrounding cities were in an uproar during the three days they were away.
It turned out that it was Gu Hong and his son who told the Lord of Lingxiao City the news that Yun Chen had the Hunyuan Pearl.
And for some unknown reason, the Lord of Lingxiao City leaked the news again.
For a moment, the entire Lingxiao City and even the surrounding forces were in an uproar.
I believe that it won’t be long before the news of the Hunyuan Pearl will spread throughout the entire secret realm of cultivation.
Hunyuan Pearl!
That is an ancient treasure, no one would not be tempted by it, no one would not be jealous of it.
During these three days, no one knew how many forces had sneaked into Lingxiao City, just to find Yun Chen's whereabouts as soon as possible.
Even the Tianji Pavilion has been crowded with people these days, all of them are elders from various major sects who are trying to find out about Yun Chen.
"Young Master, how long are we going to wait to get the news about those two? There are too many people outside... I can't handle it anymore."
The shopkeeper of Tianji Pavilion stood in the room, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his tone was a little anxious.
The Tianji Pavilion makes a living by selling intelligence, and it can still use some excuse to delay now, but as time goes on, these people will inevitably suspect that the Tianji Pavilion is deliberately delaying.
Not only will it arouse public outrage and damage reputation, it may also cause chaos.
After all, this matter involves the Hunyuan Pearl, and God knows what these people will do.
Behind the screen, Murong Xue, dressed in black, was slowly and methodically wiping a silver token. The lightning pattern engraved on the token glowed coldly under the candlelight.
"No hurries?"
Murong Xue's voice came through the screen, still lazy, but with unquestionable majesty: "They are just a bunch of rabble, they can't cause any big waves."
"But...it's been three days, and that guy still hasn't responded. Could it be..."
The shopkeeper had a bitter face and didn't continue speaking.
It has been three days. If Yun Chen planned to join the Divine Thunder Palace, he would have come here long ago.
Murong Xue chuckled, and held the token on her fingertips in her palm. The lightning pattern suddenly lit up with a faint electric light.
"No rush, I didn't expect this guy to have the Hun Yuan Pearl... Let's wait a little longer."
Murong Xue's fingertips gently stroked the lightning pattern on the token, and her tone was a little more playful: "I want to see...how many secrets this kid has."
She hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Give him another day. If he doesn't come... I'll spread the news about him. Then... he'll beg me."
"I understand!" The shopkeeper bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Murong Xue.
"Wait." Murong Xue's voice was a little colder. "Tell the people below to keep an eye on the Gu family. Since this kid has a grudge against the Gu family... then I don't mind giving him a big gift when the time comes. I hope he doesn't go ungrateful."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and left the room quickly.
Murong Xue behind the screen picked up the silver token again, tapped the lightning pattern on the token lightly with her fingertips, her eyes fell out the window, and a calculating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She wanted to see how long Yun Chen could hold on.
And at this time in the Gu Mansion.
"No news yet, miss?"
Gu Fengyang looked at the men he had gathered back together, his face gloomy as water.
"No...no, it's been three days, and there's been no news."
The subordinate's forehead was covered with sweat and he spoke awkwardly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Fengyang angrily slapped the table next to him.
The table made of special materials turned into powder in an instant.
"It shouldn't be!"
Gu Hong also looked unhappy and spoke with a frown.
Originally, according to his thinking, the Gu family was now doomed, and it would be difficult to find Yun Chen for revenge, so he spread the news that Yun Chen was carrying the Hunyuan Pearl.
The purpose is to lure those people over and help them find Yun Chen's trace.
But it's been three days, are those forces useless? Can't they even find a single person?
"Go and investigate again. We must find that little bastard Yun Chen and rescue Qingzi."
Gu Fengyang took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and waved at his subordinates.
Logically speaking, since Yun Chen left a message asking them to take the key to exchange people, he should have sent back a message, but until now, Yun Chen has not given any news, let alone any response.
He even suspected that the words Yun Chen left were purely a trick on them, and that he had actually run away long ago.
"Report!"
At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Gu Fengyang frowned and turned around, only to see one of his men running in in a hurry.
"Oh no! Someone from Taixu Palace is coming."
"Taixu Palace?"
Hearing these three words, Gu Fengyang broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought of the time when he attacked Chu He in Qingyun Sect.
Behind the Chu River is Taixu Palace.
"where?"
Gu Fengyang asked hurriedly.
"exist……"
"I am Qingxuzi, and I am here to pay my respects to the head of the Gu family."
Before his men could speak, an old but powerful voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a powerful spiritual pressure that instantly enveloped the entire Gu Mansion.
Gu Fengyang and Gu Hong's faces suddenly changed, and they quickly stood up to greet him.
There was an old man in a moon-white Taoist robe standing in the courtyard. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. The "Taixu Palace" token hanging around his waist was shining coldly in the sunlight.
"Nascent Soul..."
The moment he saw the other person, Gu Fengyang's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Although they are both at the Nascent Soul stage, he reached that level by relying on elixirs, while the other party is a genuine Nascent Soul master.
Moreover, he comes from a Taoist background and is simply not comparable to him.
"I didn't know Taoist Master Qingxu was coming to visit, and I couldn't come to greet him. I hope you can atone for your sin!"
Gu Fengyang bowed and saluted, cold sweat oozing from his forehead - Taixu Palace is one of the top Taoist sects in the secret realm of cultivation.
Even though he didn't care when he attacked Chu He before, when he really faced the core figure of the Taoist sect...how could he not be panicked?
Qingxuzi glanced at Gu Fengyang and his son, and said in a cold tone: "No need to be so polite."
"I came here to ask only one thing, that is, to invite Patriarch Gu and Young Master Gu to visit Taixu Palace."
"Guest?" Gu Fengyang's heart tightened. How could he really believe this? He forced a smile on his face and said, "Master, you are too polite. It's just that the Gu family has been busy with trivial matters recently. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for us to travel far. I hope Master will forgive me."
As he spoke, he secretly winked at Gu Hong - if he really left with Qingxuzi, he might be dead or alive, so he had to find a way to delay.
Gu Hong immediately understood and quickly agreed, "Yes, Taoist! My daughter is still missing and we are searching everywhere for her. We are really busy. When we find her, my father and I will come to your house in person!"
"No need!"
Qingxuzi sneered, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and a stronger spiritual pressure came towards them, making it almost impossible for Gu Fengyang and his son to breathe.
"I'm here... to inform you, not to discuss it with you."
Before he finished speaking, Qingxuzi raised his hand and a silver-white spiritual power turned into a chain, instantly wrapping around Gu Fengyang's wrist.
Gu Fengyang's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly used his spiritual power to try to break free, but the chain was like a pair of iron pliers, not moving at all, but getting tighter and tighter, causing him so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
