C3461 The Hunt Began!
Gu Huang and Mu Qian Shan entered the place. Mu Qian Shan looked around and said, "Boss, who would have thought that the Blood God Temple's stronghold would be here? Furthermore, they even opened a medical clinic as a cover, hiding among the ordinary people. It's simply difficult to distinguish them."
Gu Huang did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the crowd on the street. The hawkers on both sides of the street, the shopkeepers and waiters in the shops, Gu Huang did not let them go. These people looked ordinary on the surface, but they all had a restrained killing intent. They used special methods to conceal their own aura. There were people from the Blood God Temple hiding in this entire street.
They were hiding among the ordinary people. If Gu Huang did not know them very well, he would have completely overlooked them. The most important thing for assassins was to lower their presence at all times. If they mixed with ordinary people, their presence would be reduced to the minimum. At the critical moment, they could kill them with a single strike. This was the fundamental reason why the assassination of the Blood God Temple never failed.
Gu Huang and Mu Qian Shan walked through the crowd until they reached the end of the street. There was indeed a medical clinic here. Inside was an old man with snow-white hair and beard. He looked ordinary.
However, this old man had the cultivation of the Core Embracing Stage. However, his aura was concealed very well, so it was impossible to detect. Adding this one, Gu Huang walked along the way and matched the number of people Yu Chenxi had mentioned.
"Boss, isn't this just an ordinary clinic? Where are the killers? Why haven't I seen any of them?" As Mu Qian Shan walked along the street, he did not discover anything strange. In his eyes, this place was just an ordinary street.
"Fatty, if even you can discover their existence, then the Blood God Temple would have been wiped out a long time ago. This entire street is filled with people from the Blood God Temple. The waiters and shopkeepers, the vendors on the roadside, these people have concealed themselves very well."
Gu Huang looked towards the end of the street with a piercing gaze. Today, the Blood God Temple was even more low-profile than the Blood God Sect. They were even more patient and knew how to conceal themselves. This was a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, waiting for a fatal strike at any time.
"What? Boss, you said that this place is filled with killers, then how are we going to deal with them now? It's impossible to quietly hunt them down!"
Mu Qian Shan looked at the surrounding environment, and his eyes revealed a hint of shock.
"Now, we are setting up the traps. Tonight is the real hunt. Let's go back and prepare some things." Gu Huang already had a plan in his heart. These remnants of the Blood God Sect had spatial equipment in their hands, so he decided to use the Power of Space as the foundation to set up a spatial lock array, causing the spatial equipment in their hands to be ineffective. At that time, it would be a game of cat and mouse.
In the clinic, following a wave of distortions in the air, four masked assassins in blood-red clothes appeared. The old man in charge opened his eyes, and they flickered with an incomparably terrifying light.
"Greetings, Hall Master."
The four masked assassins bowed and knelt down, bowing to the old man.
The old man glanced at Blood Thirteen, and suddenly saw the black dagger in his hand. "Blood Thirteen, you are presumptuous."
With a furious roar, the old man's body was filled with a monstrous killing intent. The layers of overlapping waves were like giant waves that pressed down on the four assassins in front of him, forming a terrifying pressure.
"Hall Master, I know my wrongs. Please punish me." The assassin with the black dagger hanging from his waist had a terrified look in his eyes.
"Blood Thirteen, who gave you the guts to take on a mission privately and use the Void Dagger? Do you still have me, the Hall Master, in your eyes?" The old man's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his voice was as cold and heartless as the coldest glacier in the extreme.
"Hall Master, I know my mistakes. If you want to kill me, I will definitely not complain." Blood Thirteen raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.
"Forget it, since you are a first offender, I won't do it again. Get up! Tell me, who is the target of this assassination? You actually used the Void Dagger." The old man looked at Blood Thirteen, and the aura on his body was completely retracted. He once again became ordinary.
"Gu Huang, someone offered 10,000 Elemental Stones." Blood Thirteen secretly heaved a sigh of relief and slowly spoke.
"Who... Who did you say... Gu Huang, is the Gu Huang who killed Li Yuan Shan in front of the pardon order." The old man's eyes were startled, and he was slightly surprised. If it really was that Gu Huang, then the Blood God Hall had really poked a huge hole in the ground. Now, he only hoped that it was not that Gu Huang, or else it would really be troublesome.
"Yes." Xue Shisan said.
"What? It's really him. What happened? Did he die?" The old man was filled with shock. He had only left Thunder City for a few days, and such a thing had actually happened. This Gu Huang had killed people in front of the royal family, and he was completely fine. Moreover, he had a close relationship with the Alchemist Guild. How could his background be simple?
"Hall Master, the assassination failed, but he was poisoned by the Blood Devouring Gu. He won't live for more than three days." Xue Shisan looked at the Hall Master's appearance. He only knew that he might have caused a huge disaster. This Gu Huang was definitely not simple.
"Immediately send someone to investigate. I want to know the news of Gu Huang as soon as possible." The old man's eyes flickered with a bit of a cold aura. It would be fine if Gu Huang died, but if he didn't, this matter would become huge. With the power of the Alchemist Guild, they would definitely not let it go.
"Hall Master, I don't understand." Xue Shisan did not understand why the Hall Master would be so angry, and he seemed to be very afraid of Gu Huang. This made him very puzzled.
"Xue Shisan, have you forgotten about the four inviolable rules of our Blood God Hall?" The old man shouted angrily. Their Blood God Hall dared to be enemies with anyone, but there were four inviolable rules. They did not kill alchemists, weapons refiners, rune masters, or array masters. Since ancient times, no one had ever dared to break this rule. Although the Blood God Hall was an assassin organization, they still needed to cultivate. Pills, weapons, rune masters, and array masters were indispensable. Moreover, they had a tacit understanding with the four major guilds. They did not participate in the battles, and the Blood God Hall would not accept any missions to assassinate them.
"Chairman, I know the Forbidden Taboo of not killing anyone, but this has nothing to do with Gu Huang. Could he be a member of the Four Major Guilds?" Xue Shisan was startled. Could it be that Gu Huang was a member of the Four Major Guilds? If that was the case, things would get out of hand.
"Blood Thirteen, you idiot. Before you kill someone, wouldn't you investigate the background of the other party? Gu Huang is not only a member of the Four Major Guilds, but he is also a level nine Apothecary Wang. Moreover, he is also a Wang Fu master. You better pray that Gu Huang is dead. If he is not dead, no one will be able to protect you once the Apothecary Guild investigates this matter."
The old man snorted coldly and left on the spot.
"What? This..." Xue Shisan was stunned on the spot. His eyes were filled with shock. Gu Huang was actually a King Order Grandmaster who had mastered both the Talisman Core and the Talisman Body. It was over, it was over. Things were getting out of hand. If Gu Huang died, it would be fine, but if Gu Huang didn't die, he would definitely not give up. No, he must kill Gu Huang. He must kill him.
"Leader, what should we do?" The eyes of the killers were filled with shock. They were assassins. They had long since put the matter of life and death aside. However, since the establishment of the Blood God Hall, no one had dared to break the Forbidden Taboo of not killing anyone. Now that they had assassinated a King Order Master, if the Four Major Guilds were to investigate this matter, they would definitely suffer the most miserable torture from the Blood God Hall.
"Monitor Gu Huang's whereabouts closely. As long as he appears, kill him at all costs." The eyes of Blood Thirteen flickered with a crazed aura. Now, there was no way out. There was only one way to go.
"Yes, leader." The three assassins in blood-red cloaks disappeared.
At night, in the Alchemist Guild, Qing Mu Zi was walking back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He frowned and looked at the door from time to time, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Gu Huang had disappeared, and he was not at ease. Furthermore, there was no news of him. He had sent out a Message Talisman, but the academy had not seen Gu Huang go there. Even the little fatty had disappeared, and he had not returned to the Mu Family.
The people that could be sent out by the guild had all been sent out, but there was no news. Now, Qing Mu Zi was extremely worried, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Senior, junior has searched all the places that could be found, but I didn't find any traces of Brother Yun and Mu Qian Shan." Luo Yuntian's figure descended from the sky, his voice filled with urgency.
"Yuntian, are you sure you have searched all the places? Where is the Blossom Snow Hall? Have you gone there? " Qing Mu Zi stomped his feet fiercely, his eyes filled with incomparable worry.
"I have gone there, but no one has seen Brother Yun go there. Senior, Brother Yun is extremely intelligent. Even the dead can't do anything to him. I think there must be something that has delayed him!"
Luo Yuntian was also extremely anxious, but he could only try to persuade him.
"No, this matter is definitely not that simple. Something must have happened. Ever since that little fatty came, this old man has been feeling uneasy. You immediately go and inform Nie Canghai, and I'll go find Senior Tianji Zi."
Qing Mu Zi was filled with worry and anxiety. After all, Gu Huang, a living person, had disappeared without a trace. Elder Mu had just left and Fan Tong was in seclusion. If they came back and asked, what would he say?
"Senior, don't be anxious. I'll go inform Mayor." Luo Yuntian's heart was incomparably heavy. With Gu Huang's cunning, it was impossible for ordinary people to plot against him. Something must have happened.
Qing Mu Zi sighed and quickly headed towards Tianji Zi's residence. When he reached the door, he pushed it open and said, "Senior Tianji Zi, something happened. Young Lord is missing!"
"What did you say?" Tianji Zi, who had just gotten up, almost fell to the ground when he heard this.
"Senior, Young Lord was called away by that Mu Family's little fatty at noon. Now, there is no news of him! Senior, quickly use your divine ability to deduce Young Lord's whereabouts."
Qing Mu Zi was so anxious that he was at a loss of what to do. He placed all of his last hope on Tianji Zi.
"Qing Mu Zi, regarding everything about Young Lord, my divination technique is completely ineffective. Even the people beside Young Lord are the same. However, you don't have to worry. Young Lord is safe and sound."
Tianji Zi sighed slightly, filled with helplessness. His Divination of the Heavenly Ability could almost determine the life and death of people below the King Realm, but it was completely useless against Gu Huang. Furthermore, those who were related to Gu Huang were also completely blank.
"Senior, how can you be so sure?" When Qing Mu Zi heard this, he felt a little better, but he was still extremely worried.
"Didn't you see how relaxed that little guy was?" Tianji Zi pointed at Xue Li who was devouring the moonlight in the courtyard, and a mysterious smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
