Chapter 307 Gu Family Invitation
It was he who ruined Zhou Peng.
It was he who pretended to be Gu Hong and looted the Zhou family's treasure house.
So... in all likelihood, it was him who killed Zhou Zheng.
"Good...good Yunchen."
Ling Xiaotian was trembling all over, his chest heaving violently. "You really don't take the road to heaven, but you break into hell."
How audacious this is...
What a great humiliation this is!
"Somebody come!"
"Search the entire sect for me..."
"Even if I have to turn the entire Qingyun Mountain Range upside down, I must find this bastard Yun Chen."
"besides……"
He pointed at the pale Zhou Peng and said, "Peng'er, draw him exactly as he looks. Don't make a mistake with even his eyebrows."
"Every disciple of the sect should have a copy and issue a wanted notice for me."
Gu Hong, lying on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood foam and spoke weakly, "Since... since everything is clear now, can we go now?"
Now he just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible, find a place to heal his wounds, and then go and settle the score with that little beast Yun Chen.
Hearing this, Ling Xiaotian slowly turned his head and cast a cold gaze on him.
"Walk?"
"Until Yun Chen is captured, neither of you can leave!"
Gu Hong's expression changed instantly. He forced himself to stand up and roared, "What do you mean?"
"It has nothing to do with us."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if you want to arrest Yun Chen, what's it to us?"
"None of your business?"
Ling Xiaotian sneered, "Then why did Yun Chen pretend to be you?"
"If there's nothing fishy going on between you two, no one would believe it."
"Until the truth comes out, you are still the biggest suspects."
"you!"
Gu Hong was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
He took a deep breath and said sternly, "Do you know who I am? I am Gu Hong, the young master of the Gu family in Lingxiao City."
"If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I promise that everyone in Qingyun Sect will be wiped out."
He thought that bringing up the name of the Gu family would be enough to intimidate the leader of this small sect.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ling Xiaotian was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Hahahaha!"
"The Gu family of Lingxiao City? Gu Hong?"
He leaned over and looked at Gu Hong as if he were an idiot, mocking him word by word: "Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
"Everyone knows that Gu Hong, the young master of the Gu family in Lingxiao City, disappeared more than 20 years ago. He most likely died in a ravine somewhere."
"How dare you impersonate him?"
"I think you are in the same group with Yun Chen."
"A double act? Huh?"
"puff--!"
Gu Hong couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
shame.
What a shame.
Gu Hong had been a tycoon throughout his life, had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Being pointed at and called a liar by the head of a second-rate sect?
"You...you will regret this!"
Gu Hong was so angry that his vision went dark and he could only utter these harsh words.
Ling Xiaotian was completely dismissive and was about to order his men to drag them away and keep them under strict surveillance.
At this moment, a disciple ran in from outside the hall with a panicked look on his face, and reported breathlessly: "Master...Master!"
"Outside...someone from the Gu family of Lingxiao City wants to see you."
"They said...they said they were here to deliver an invitation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence again.
Gu Hong, who was being held up by two disciples, suddenly shook his body, and his originally dull eyes suddenly burst into light.
Someone from the Gu family is coming?
He is saved.
"Hurry... let them in!"
"I can prove my identity by meeting them, quickly."
However, Ling Xiaotian just glanced at him coldly, with suspicion in his eyes becoming even stronger.
This play is quite complete?
Have you even arranged helpers?
He ignored Gu Hong's shouting and waved at the two disciples who were holding him.
"Take him away and keep him under strict guard."
"No one is allowed to visit without my order."
Gu Hong's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled hard: "Ling Xiaotian!"
"You blind idiot."
"You will pay for your stupidity."
His angry curses echoed in the hall, but no one paid any attention to him.
The two disciples dragged him and soon disappeared at the entrance of the hall.
Compared to Gu Hong's hysteria, Zhao Xiruo next to him seemed unusually calm.
She was escorted by the disciples and didn't say a word from beginning to end, but there was a glimmer of relief in her clear eyes.
Yun Chen...he is still alive.
Besides, he's nearby.
This is enough.
……
After Gu Hong and Zhao Xiruo were taken away, the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly.
Ling Xiaotian calmed down his emotions.
A moment later, two middle-aged men in brocade clothes walked into the hall.
The leader bowed to Ling Xiaotian and said, "I am the steward of the Gu family. I have come here on the orders of the family head to deliver the invitation to the Qingyun Sect."
"My young lady will be getting married soon. The wedding will coincide with her birthday, so we will hold both the wedding and birthday banquet in Lingxiao City."
"The Patriarch specially invites Sect Master Ling and all the elders of Qingyun Sect to take the time to attend."
As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his arms and handed it over.
Ling Xiaotian took the invitation, opened it and took a look, his expression becoming even more confused.
This invitation is genuine, which means that the person coming is indeed from the Gu family.
That person who just called himself Gu Hong...could it be...
Ling Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless.
He exchanged a few pleasantries with the visitor, who seemed unwilling to stay any longer. After handing him the invitation, he said goodbye and left.
After the Gu family left, Ling Xiaotian held the invitation.
"Elders, what do you think?"
"Lingxiao City is over 300 kilometers away from our Qingyun Sect, and we have no direct contact with each other. Why would the Gu family suddenly send us an invitation?"
Several elders looked at each other, puzzled.
"Master, this matter is indeed strange."
"The Gu family is considered a prominent clan in Lingxiao City. In their eyes, our Qingyun Sect isn't even worthy of mention."
An elder pondered, "Why invite us for no reason?"
"Could it be... related to that person just now?"
Just when everyone was talking about it and at a loss as to what to do.
Another disciple rushed in, his face pale.
"Master...something bad has happened."
Ling Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted sharply, "What are you panicking about? Tell me, what happened again?"
The disciple knelt on the ground with a thud: "The woman who was just detained..."
"He was rescued."
Ling Xiaotian's face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Which woman?"
"That's... the one with the man who calls himself Gu Hong."
Ling Xiaotian only felt a surge of evil fire rushing straight to the top of his head.
"Where's Gu Hong?"
"He...he's still in the dungeon."
"Let's go... and take a look."
Ling Xiaotian swung his sleeves and led a group of elders towards the dungeon.
