C3474 Who else but You?
Fan Tong's eyes were filled with seriousness as he turned around and left.
"Brat, well done. You didn't embarrass me." Luo Yiling glanced at Gu Huang and left with the Wine Jar in her hand.
"Brother Gu, the information you wanted has been found. When are you going to make your move?" Ning Shizhe walked in front of Gu Huang and said. Even if the Blood God Hall knew about it in the future, they would have to think twice before they wanted to take revenge on the royal family.
"Seven Sons, I'll come find you later. You should go back first. Fatty, come with me." Gu Huang's eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent. Wang Jian, you must die today. No matter if it was you who did it or not.
"Alright." Ning Shizhe nodded slightly and turned around to leave.
Luo Yuntian had been guarding the residence of the true disciples for a long time. When he saw Gu Huang and Mu Qian Shan walking over, he said, "Brother Gu, you're here."
"Brother Luo, thank you for your trouble. Is Wang Jian here?" Gu Huang's eyes focused, and a hint of killing intent flashed across them.
"He's always been here. He hasn't left the courtyard even once." Luo Yuntian said, his eyes carrying a trace of doubt, but he did not say anything.
Gu Huang did not waste time and walked straight to Wang Jian's courtyard. He kicked open the door, and Wang Jian sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard. There was a pot of tea on the table, and the fragrance of tea occasionally rose from it.
Wang Jian was dressed in a long moon-white robe, and he was holding a book in his hand. He was reading attentively. When the door was kicked open, he did not make any movements. He only raised his head and glanced at it.
He gently put down the book in his hand, picked up the teapot on the table, and slowly poured a cup of tea. "Gu Huang, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Heh! Wang Jian, you know I came, but you didn't leave?" Gu Huang took a step forward, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. This Wang Jian was actually so calm. Could it be that he had some kind of backing?
"I have no guilt in my heart, so why should I leave?" Wang Jian drank the tea in his cup lightly, without the slightest panic. The current Gu Huang was no longer that outer sect disciple of the Profound Sun Sect, but someone who he had to look up to. Ever since Wan Qingliu mysteriously disappeared, he knew that his master had encountered an accident, and it was definitely Gu Huang's doing. He did not leave, because no matter where he went, the gap between him and Gu Huang was getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible for him to catch up.
Furthermore, he knew that Gu Huang would not let him go, and he would have to conceal his identity and live a life that was neither human nor ghost, but it was better to die calmly. He did not regret what he had done in the past.
"You have no guilt in your heart, Wang Jian. Why don't you feel embarrassed when you say that?" The corner of Gu Huang's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and his voice carried a trace of disdain.
"Gu Huang, it's fine if I kill you openly or framed you with schemes, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Only life and death matter. Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is a bandit. If I lose, then so be it. There's nothing to be said."
Wang Jian did not regret what he had done. Once the grudge was formed, it was either you die or I die.
"Enough, Wang Jian. You still dare to boast even when you are about to die. I know a little about the grudge between you and Gu Huang. But no matter what, you came out of Xuanyang City together. Gu Huang killed your brother, and that is your brother's sin. If you, Wang Jian, are unwilling to accept this, you can challenge him. I didn't expect you to actually hire assassins to ambush Gu Huang."
Luo Yuntian angrily rebuked. Although he did not know how Gu Huang had escaped the assassination attempt of the Blood God Hall, it was definitely a narrow escape. If Gu Huang died, it would be a great loss for the Human Clan.
"Wait, Lord Luo, if you want to kill me, I have nothing to say. But don't give me any more charges. Gu Huang, I, Wang Jian, want to kill you. I hate you so much that I can't sleep at night, but I am not willing to hand you over to others."
Wang Jian was confused. Hiring assassins to ambush Gu Huang was simply a joke. He wanted to kill Gu Huang, and he wanted him to die. However, he could scheme and kill him, but he would never let anyone kill him.
"Wang Jian, do you still not admit it? In the entire Xuanyang City, who else has such a great hatred with me other than you?"
Gu Huang coldly snorted, his eyes flashing with disdain. He looked down on Wang Jian even more. He had already come to their doorstep, yet he still did not admit it. He was truly a villain.
"Gu Huang, I have a grudge with you, but I definitely won't hire assassins."
Wang Jian stood up with an incomparably cold expression. He simply refused to admit it.
"Wang Jian, are you a man or not?! Do you have the guts to do it or not? Do you think that we won't be able to do anything to you if you don't admit it?"
Mu Qian Shan mocked him on the spot. Such a villain was truly hateful.
"What a joke. If I didn't do it, why should I admit it? Gu Huang, if you want to kill me, then just do it!"
Wang Jian's gaze was as calm as usual. He knew that no matter how much he argued, Gu Huang would not let him off. Their two clans were mortal enemies, and his parents had died in a fight against the Wang Family. He would never let him off.
"Wang Jian, it really wasn't you who did it." Gu Huang's eyes flashed with a golden divine light, and his voice was like a muffled thunder, filled with a terrifying aura.
"No."
A short and direct sentence fully expressed Wang Jian's thoughts.
"Boss, why are you wasting your breath on him? Whether it's him or not, let's kill him first." Mu Qian Shan was too lazy to waste his breath on him. Since they were enemies, wouldn't he give him a chance if he didn't kill him?
"Gu Huang, stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill me, then do it. Otherwise, I won't let you off even if I have a sliver of a chance."
Wang Jian's voice was filled with calmness, and it carried a bit of cold killing intent.
"Impudent." Luo Yuntian bellowed angrily, and a finger flashed with the divine light, piercing through Wang Jian's chest. The powerful force caused him to take a dozen steps back, and he fiercely slammed into the wall.
"Hahaha! Gu Huang, what a joke! What a joke! You think you're very smart, but you don't even know that you have been used by someone." Wang Jian's hair was disheveled, and his hands were covering his chest. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he was filled with a mocking laughter.
"It doesn't matter if I am used. In any case, you are going to die today. Brother Luo, send him on his way." Gu Huang's gaze was as cold as a blade, without a trace of emotion.
Luo Yuntian pierced out with his finger again, and the sharp divine light pierced through the space between Wang Jian's eyebrows. Wang Jian's body fell to the ground, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Boss, is it really not the doing of this bastard?" Mu Qian Shan looked at Wang Jian's appearance and had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Brother Gu, it's not him. Who else could it be? Wan Qingliu still has two disciples. Do you want me to go and capture them and interrogate them?"
Luo Yuntian frowned slightly. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Perhaps there was something else that he did not know.
"Brother Luo, don't you think that this matter is a little strange?" Gu Huang frowned slightly. Today, he came to kill Wang Jian, and he had a faint feeling that he had fallen into a trap set by someone else.
"Oh! What's so strange about it?" Luo Yuntian said. He also felt that something was amiss, but he could not say it.
"Brother Luo, Wan Qingliu was captured by me. I was the one who asked you to capture him in secret. Not many people know about it. Even if someone guessed that it was me, without evidence, they wouldn't dare to make a move. But just yesterday, I was assassinated by the Blood God Hall. The first thing I thought of was Wang Jian, but I know Wang Jian. He is arrogant, and he would not dare to do such a thing."
"This is one of the reasons. As for the second reason, who was the one who hired the murderer and who leaked the matter of me being captured by Wan Qingliu."
Gu Huang frowned. Someone must have set up this plot, but he had no idea who it was. Furthermore, Wang Jian was a scapegoat, but even if they found the real murderer, they would still be scapegoats.
"Boss, what's so difficult about this? As long as it's related to Wan Qingliu, we'll capture them one by one and interrogate them. I don't believe that they can turn the situation around."
Fatty's eyes flickered with a fierce aura.
"Brother Gu, what do you want to do?" Luo Yuntian thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. There must be a conspiracy!
"Brother Luo, we don't have anything to do right now. We should eat and drink. Just pretend that this matter has already been settled. As for the two disciples of Wan Qingliu, I'll find someone to keep an eye on them. If there is anything that needs Brother Luo's help, please don't refuse."
Gu Huang used the Blood Contract to summon Huang'er. Who was more suitable to keep an eye on them than Huang'er, who had mastered the Power of Space?
"Don't worry! Brother Gu, as long as you say so." Luo Yuntian smiled slightly. These were just small matters, and they were not worth mentioning.
"Thank you, Fatty. Let's go!" Gu Huang and Fatty turned around and walked out of the courtyard. Their eyes flickered with a trace of calmness.
Not long after the three of them left, two figures silently arrived at Wang Jian's residence. It was Hong Ling and Ling Ren. Looking at the obvious traces of fighting and blood on the ground, they already had a rough idea of what was going on. They exchanged a glance and left the place. However, none of them noticed that a sparrow was circling above the roof.
"Junior Sister Hong Ling, Wang Jian is dead. We can be considered to have avoided a calamity, but the more we act now, the more we must not act rashly. Gu Huang is extremely cunning, and he is not easy to deal with!"
Ling Ren sighed slightly. His heart that was hanging in the air was finally set at ease. At least, Wang Jian had already become a scapegoat as they had planned.
"No, Senior Brother, our crisis is not over yet. On the contrary, it has just begun. With Gu Huang's cunning, he will definitely not let it go so easily. Moreover, he might even suspect us. Therefore, we must be even more careful in the future. We must not let Gu Huang catch a trace of our weakness. We have missed a good opportunity, so don't think about killing him in a short period of time."
Hong Ling's gaze carried a deep vigilance. Gu Huang was definitely not someone that could be defeated. If they missed the opportunity to kill him, they could forget about killing him now.
"Junior Sister, I just received a piece of news from the president. The Blood God Hall has probably been taken over by someone. More than two hundred people have disappeared, and no one can be seen. The president ordered us to be extremely careful."
Ling Ren sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes flickered with fear. The Blood God Temple! What a terrifying force, to actually be destroyed by someone. This matter most likely had something to do with Gu Huang. Only he could do it now.
"What? The Blood God Temple was flattened by someone? Senior Brother, this..." Hong Ling's eyes were filled with shock. The severity of the matter had already exceeded their imagination. Such a swift and decisive method was most likely done by Gu Huang. How could he be so bold as to flatten the Blood God Temple's stronghold? Wasn't he afraid of being retaliated?
"Don't worry! This matter will not implicate us. The president has already reported the situation here to the Blood God Temple. According to the president, the entire Blood God Temple is furious. They have already secretly sent experts here. At that time, if it is related to Gu Huang, even if he has the backing of the royal family, he will still die."
Ling Ren's eyes flickered with a vicious look. As long as the Blood God Temple retaliated, no one would pay attention to them.
