Chapter 480

“Everyone, don’t split up! The other side is very strong! If you were to act alone, you would only end up dead!”
At this moment, a long-haired spirit cultivator shouted towards the surrounding people.
“That’s right! Now there’s only the five of us here, everyone, I think it’s better like this, we can work together to capture Huairou Muyu and then go to Ye Moxian to receive the reward, 100 million profound coins, even if we divide it into five parts, we can each get 20 million profound coins, that’s enough! What do you say?”
“Agreed!”
“I agree!”
“Just do it!”
The others responded with cheers.
In just a short moment, this group of Spirit Cultivators that were still on guard against each other had reached a consensus. It could be seen that these five were capable people. They were not as reckless as the bald Spirit Cultivator from before.
If the five of them were to attack together, it would no longer be as easy to fight as before.
Su Yun took a step back and looked towards Gu Gangzhen.
After hesitating for a moment, the fat guy suddenly jumped towards those people.
“You’re right. Right now, what we need to do is to join hands. If everyone is still scheming for the reward that we didn’t get, I believe that no one will be able to get their hands on that profound coin! Alright everyone, let’s work together to deal with these two!”
Gu Gangzhen said.
These five people obviously recognised the Gu Gangzhen as well. When they heard him speak, they all nodded and prepared to leave.
“Forward!”
With a loud roar, Gu Gangzhen activated his magic tool.
“Ah!”
The five of them shouted and rushed forward.
However, at this moment, numerous sabers and swords that were as fast as streams of light shot over, piercing through the hearts of these five people with lightning speed.
The five of them trembled as they turned their heads to look at Gu Gangzhen in shock.
The obese fatty had already activated his Imperial Equipment and was aiming his profound energy at them. He held a curved blade in his hand and aimed it at the nearest spirit cultivator. He ferociously rushed forward, twisting his fat body and chopping off the spirit cultivator’s head.
“Lord Gu, you …”
The spirit cultivator clutched his chest and yelled while trembling.
“I don’t have any other choice …” Gu Gangzhen said.
Su Yun rushed over and used the Tribulations Fire. The turbid sword qi swallowed the sky and the spirit cultivators’ bodies were burnt to ashes.
Upon seeing this, Gu Gangzhen was startled. He felt that Su Yun was very powerful.
Perhaps if he didn’t use Gu Gangzhen, Su Yun could deal with these people. What cultivation did this kid have?
“Let’s go!”
At this time, Su Yun shouted towards Gu Gangzhen, stepped on his deathly white long sword, flying off into the distance. Huairou Muyu hurriedly followed.
“Wait for me.”
Gu Gangzhen also hurriedly chased after them.
Not long after the three left, over a hundred people rushed over.
The person leading was Ye Moxian.
Seeing the dead spirit cultivators below and the remaining power in the air, Ye Moxian’s eyebrows locked tightly together.
Along the way, he saw quite a few spirit cultivators who were either injured or dead, but he couldn’t see Su Yun or Huairou Muyu. Without a doubt, these two must have escaped.
“What a bunch of trash. I thought that there would be more or less experts in Bei Zhou City, but who would have thought that all of them were useless.”
Ye Moxian snorted and turned to the people beside him and shouted, “Where’s the young master Gu?”
“He should still be chasing those two.” A person wearing a grey cloak said in a low voice.
“You are good at tracking, identify their location. We will immediately rush over to support Gu Gangzhen. Today, we must capture those two. Do not let the news of this place spread back to Huairou Family. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to my future plans.”
Ye Moxian said.
“Don’t worry, young master, with my ultimate skill, it won’t be difficult to find them. The distance from here to Wu Ye City is more than ten days, the two of them won’t be able to escape in a short period of time.”
As soon as the grey-cloaked man finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a grey sword from his waist and waved it in the air. A large amount of grey air current flew out of the sword and hit the air in front of him. Soon after, a weird grey trajectory appeared into the distance.
“Young master, please follow me.”
The person said in a low voice and immediately flew towards the direction of the trajectory.
Ye Moxian saw this and waved his hand: “Let’s go!”
The group of people were flying into the distance like the wind.
Su Yun brought Huairou Muyu into a big mountain. Seeing that they had gotten rid of those people, the two of them temporarily hid themselves.
Huairou Muyu had a magic treasure that could shield her aura. She threw it into the air, dispersing the aura within a few miles. Huairou Muyu had been attacked by assassins all year round. Most of the magic treasures she carried were used to escape for life, and the magic treasures she had were very few in lethality.
However, she had used quite a few treasures along the way. Su Yun roughly estimated that the treasures she used to get out of Bei Zhou City had cost her at least ten million profound coins.
In the end, she was the daughter of a wealthy family. In order to survive, she didn’t care about anything else.
Su Yun’s heart still ached. Some of the treasures she used were extremely useful to him.
However, he was lucky to be able to survive. He sighed, took out a pellet and swallowed it. He then sat down cross-legged to recover his profound energy.
Huairou Muyu was also resting by the side, but she didn’t dare to meditate. After all, there was another person sitting nearby, looking at the scene uneasily.
Gu Gangzhen looked at the two and wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to. He kept on rubbing his fat hands together.
Huairou Muyu ignored him and swallowed a pill. She circulated her profound energy to digest the pill.
After the time of burning an incense stick, the two of them recovered quite a bit.
Huairou Muyu opened her eyes and beckoned to Gu Gangzhen. Gu Gangzhen immediately ran over eagerly and laughed, “Miss Huairou, what do you want?”
“Tell me what you know.”
“Can you give me the antidote?”
“Probably.”
Fatty was stunned. “What do you mean by that?”
“She means the antidote that will give you relief, not healing.” Su Yun said calmly.
Fatty was shocked, “H-H-how could it work?”
“If you don’t want it, just obediently wait for death.” Su Yun snorted.
The fatty’s face flushed red with anger. After hesitating for a moment, he finally lowered his head and compromised.
“Five months ago, Ye Moxian came to our Gu family in the name of visiting. After all, although Ye Moxian is one of the most beloved people of Huairou Gong, he is still an adopted son after all. His surname is not Huairou so he couldn’t have come for business.”
"He stayed in the Gu family for about five to six days. Aside from cultivating, he wandered around Gu Jia Zhuang every day. We don’t know his purpose, but in the end, I found out why he came to Gu family. He came to choose someone he could trust, someone he could work with, and in the end, he found out that I was the right person, so he shared the plan with me. "
At this point, Gu Gangzhen’s face flashed a hint of loneliness: "Perhaps you two don’t know, but I and young master Ye can be considered to be the same, he is a member of Ye Family, now he has lost everything, falling from the clouds to the earth, he has no status at all, and I am the trash of Gu Family. Because of my poor talent, too fat to change, so my cultivation level has not risen. I can’t contribute to the family in business, and my cultivation level isn’t outstanding. My brothers and sisters rise in power and I am always like this, so I want to change. Now, Ye Moxian’s appearance is my chance, and as long as I complete the cooperation with him to take Huairou family. With Ye Moxian’s support and I, Gu Gangzhen will become the person with the biggest contribution to Gu family. With him supporting me, I can even become the family head! So I decided to work with him. "
“The next step is the beginning of the plan.”
“Is that what happened? The other members of the Gu family aren’t involved?”
Huairou Muyu were perplexed.
“No.” Gu Gangzhen shook his head lightly.
Huairou Muyu was still frowning.
“Then there’s the plan. Ye Moxian seems to be on guard against me. He will only tell me what he should say, and I don’t know a lot of things that he decided on his own.”
“Is that so?” Huairou Muyu were silent.
“What about your True Red Devil Crystal? Is that just to trick us into making this up?”
At that moment, Su Yun, who was on the side, suddenly interrupted.
“True Red Devil Crystal?”
Gu Gangzhen was stunned for a moment before he nodded: “Of course I won’t have such a treasure.”
“I hate people who lie to me the most!”
Su Yun was a bit disappointed, but also a bit angry as he said that.
Seeing Su Yun’s unkind eyes, Gu Gangzhen was so scared that his entire body trembled. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Young Master Su, don’t be angry. Although I don’t have the True Red Devil Crystal, this treasure really does exist.”
Su Yun was stunned and quickly said, “You didn’t imagine this thing from nothing?”
“Of course.”
Gu Gangzhen nodded seriously. “I made up everything else, but this one isn’t. This one is actually within the Bei Yang Region. Young master Su, if you have the ability, you might be able to obtain this one!”
“Where is this thing located?” Su Yun asked.
“Of course it’s the True Red Devil Cave.” Gu Gangzhen laughed.
However, just as he said this, a surge of profound qi suddenly exploded on his lower abdomen.
Bang!
Gu Gangzhen was knocked back dozens of meters and his entire body fell onto the ground. He clutched his stomach in pain. His face was covered in sweat and he couldn’t even get up.
Su Yun turned around to look at Huairou Muyu, only to see a cold light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Gu Gangzhen.
“Muyu, what are you doing?” Su Yun asked in confusion.
“Nothing.”
Huairou Muyu shook her head, then turned her gaze to Su Yun and said seriously, “But I have to tell you seriously, don’t go to the True Red Devil Cave, understand?”
“Is it dangerous?”
“Not only it is dangerous, but …”
“So you guys were hiding here, I almost let you guys get over it!”
Before Huairou Muyu could say anything, a sneer suddenly drifted over, interrupting her words.
Huairou Muyu’s expressions changed. They looked up into the sky and saw a large group of people flying towards them.
The leader was a person wearing a grey cloak, and behind this person was Ye Moxian.
“How is that possible? Didn’t I use a shielding magic treasure? How did you find us?” Huairou Muyu was speechless.
