Stronger by Killing

Chapter 584: Chapter 322: Gu Chuan’s End, Yunzhou in Turmoil (Part 3)

The senior members of the Gu Family were gathered, however, the Patriarch, Gai Qingcheng, was not seated at the main position. Instead, a very young-looking white-haired girl sat there, holding a white fox in her arms.

Gai Qingcheng bowed respectfully to the girl holding the fox, and said, "Immortal Master, we have been consolidating power in secret, and Prince Wu’s Mansion has noticed, they are already sending people to notify me to go to Yun City!"

The white-haired girl spoke slowly, "Do not worry. If it weren’t for the intervention of the Luoyun Sect and Yanyue Sect, I would have already gone to kill that so-called King Wu. Now the time is almost ripe, I will notify Luoyun Sect and Yanyue Sect, and then you all should consolidate power as quickly as possible."

Gai Qingcheng hurriedly responded, "Yes, I will strictly follow the decree of the Immortal Master!"

When Gai Qingcheng raised his head again,

the white-haired girl at the main position had already vanished.

Gai Qingcheng narrowed his eyes slowly, glanced at the senior members of the Gu Family, and said, "Everyone, go and prepare. Once Prince Wu’s Mansion is eradicated, Yunzhou will be in chaos, then it will be our time to act. Do not be careless, the other two Immortal Sects will surely control the major forces under Prince Wu’s Mansion, we do have rivals."

At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside, exclaimed urgently, "Patriarch... something bad happened, Second Master... Second Master has committed suicide!"

"What?"

The senior members of the Gu Family were all shocked.

Gu Family’s Second Master, was the Patriarch Gai Qingcheng’s elder brother, Gu Chuan. Since he was second in line, people in the family often called him Second Master.

Gu Chuan held a considerable position in the Gu Family, and was originally one of the leaders of this generation. However, after coming to Yunzhou, due to his relation with Gu Zhan, he avoided suspicion by not assuming any official post, yet his position was there, moreover, he was the elder brother of Patriarch Gai Qingcheng.

"Enough!"

Gai Qingcheng suddenly waved his hand and said, "Assign a few people to handle it, just find a place for the burial. This is a special period, don’t let this matter affect greater affairs. Go and prepare for the tasks in your hands!"

An Elder frowned and said, "Patriarch, we should go to see Gu Chuan now and at least arrange a funeral for him, after all, he is..."

Gai Qingcheng gave the Elder a glance and said, "Didn’t you hear what the Immortal Master said earlier? She has already gone to notify the Luoyun Sect and Yanyue Sect. How tight is the time now? Are you still unclear about it? And yet you want to waste time on such matters?"

...

Jingnan Dao, Yunxi Martial Arts Alliance.

The Martial Arts Alliance, as one of the largest forces in Yunzhou, is headquartered around Yun City, governed by Alliance Leader Kou Baimen, under him are a total of three divisions, located in Yundong, Yunxi, and the Northern Territory, each headed by a Vice Alliance Leader.

The Yunxi Martial Arts Alliance is right in Jingnan Dao, responsible for unified management of the Yunxi Martial World, and the Vice Alliance Leader Lin Zixiu, originally a Supreme Grandmaster, later received the Method of Divine Sight bestowed by Gu Zhan, is now a master in the Divine Sight Realm, having broken through the limits of Martial Arts.

At this time, in a large courtyard of Yunxi Martial Arts Alliance.

Lin Zixiu pushed open a room door, inside sat a thin old man, holding a scantily dressed woman in his arms,

If Gu Zhan were here, he would definitely recognize the woman, surprisingly, she was Empress Lü Wantang, who had been deposed recently.

At this moment, Lü Wantang was seductively leaning against the chest of the old man, her face flushed, occasionally letting out meaningful sighs, the old man’s hand was in Lü Wantang’s skirt.

Lin Zixiu, upon entering the room, quickly lowered his head, his lips twitched hard.

During this period, he truly gained insight, originally thinking those legendary cultivators of the Immortal Sect were as exalted as rumored, aloof from worldly matters,

Yet, in reality, after collaborating with the Lü Family, a large group identifying themselves as cultivators of the Yanyue Sect arrived, doing nothing but playing with women all day long. This period, he secretly gathered no fewer than a hundred young and beautiful women for these Immortal Sect cultivators to play with.

However, he most admired the Lü Family, for currying favor with the Sect Leader Yanyue, they even took the risk of sneaking into the Imperial City to steal the former Empress, once the most beautiful woman of Xia Kingdom, Lü Wantang from the Cold Palace.

Nevertheless, Lü Wantang indeed had means, greatly favored by the Sect Leader Yanyue.

Lin Zixiu, with his head bowed, respectfully said, "Immortal Master, Gu Zhan has returned to Yun City, he seems to have discovered something and is summoning me to enter Yun City, what should I do?"

The Sect Leader Yanyue glanced at Lin Zixiu, slowly said, "The old witch from the Spirit Control Sect, who pretends to be young despite being several hundred years old, had communicated with me. The plan was to assassinate Gu Zhan later, but just yesterday, the fools from Luoyun Sect, made a mistake, the plan has to be advanced."

"Huh?" Lin Zixiu was surprised.

The Sect Leader Yanyue snorted coldly, "Luoyun Sect controls the Yunzhou Military Town, yet Marshal Nangong Weiyang was just pretending to cooperate. A few days ago, the man Nangong Weiyang, named Sword One, took advantage when Luoyun Sect was not paying attention, directly killed several Grotto Heaven Cultivators of Luoyun Sect, and escaped with Nangong Weiyang, forcing us to advance our plans, truly worthless. If not for the subsequent alliance of the three sects against external factions, I would not wish to wait for Luoyun Sect, those useless ones!"

Lin Zixiu still bowed his head, unsure of what to say.

"All right," Sect Leader Yanyue said, "Now go inform the people from the Lü Family, make a scene, the bigger the better, only then can killing Gu Zhan bring greater impact, Martial Arts... Hehe!"
