Chapter 257 Questioning

Gu Tianchao's originally handsome face was now distorted by anger, veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, staring fiercely at the front, as if he wanted to kill the other person with his eyes.

Before this, he did deliberately conceal the correct way to leave this place, intending to teach the other party a severe lesson and trick him.

However, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations. Not only did he fail to successfully harm the other party, but he also put himself in an extremely dangerous situation and almost lost his life.

If he had not been able to contact Wen Gong after returning to the outside world and used his own abilities to control his injuries as soon as possible, he would probably have completely capsized in this small ditch.

Thinking of this, Gu Tianchao couldn't help but clench his fists again, determined to avenge this grudge.

After all, that piece of bluestone slab really hit him directly on the forehead. If he hadn't subconsciously used his intact arm to block it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? I'm not deaf!"

Gu Yunzhou retorted with an impatient expression. Not only that, he even raised his hand provocatively and scratched his ear hole nonchalantly, as if he didn't take the other person seriously at all. This contemptuous attitude made the other person furious.

At this moment, Gu Tianchao's hatred for Gu Yunzhou had reached its peak. The hatred that ran deep into his bones made him completely oblivious to the pain he had just suffered, even though the wound was bleeding profusely.

At this moment, his only thought was to kill this extremely hateful guy immediately. This showed how deep his hatred for Gu Yunzhou was.

As his voice fell, waves of terrifying literary aura began to spread. Gu Tianchao was, after all, a Confucian scholar at the peak of the fifth rank.

In the land abandoned by God, he had no literary talent and could only allow Gu Yunzhou to bully him. Now he is like a fish in the sea. At this moment, he has no restraint anymore. His heart is full of the flame of revenge. He must return the humiliation he suffered in the past double.

Facing the aggressive Gu Tianchao, Gu Yunzhou did not dare to take it lightly. He looked solemn and quickly adjusted his state, concentrating all his attention and preparing for the fierce battle that was about to break out.

At the same time, a faint sense of excitement and anticipation welled up within him. After all, he had always been curious about the gap between himself and the peak of the 5th rank, and this was the perfect opportunity to find out.

Even if they eventually discovered that the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great to defeat, that was fine. The worst that could happen was that they could just run away. Thinking back to when Gu Tianchao had led many black-clad masters to capture him, they hadn't succeeded. And now that Gu Tianchao was alone and seriously injured, Gu Yunzhou's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

"Yunzhou, why are you here?" At this critical moment, a person that neither of them expected appeared in front of them - it was Xie Jinglun, the cheap master that Gu Yunzhou had just recognized not long ago.

At this moment, Xie Jinglun was clad in the robes of an elder of the Shushan Holy Land, his sleeves fluttering, giving him a certain air of immortality. However, a closer look revealed that his aura emanated more of the fierceness and heroism of a warrior than the gentle elegance of a traditional Confucian scholar. Despite this, no one dared to underestimate him. After all, those who held the position of elder of the Shushan Holy Land were no ordinary people.

"Master! Why...why are you here?" Gu Yunzhou's face was full of astonishment. He obviously did not expect that his master would suddenly appear here.

He had just secretly inspected his surroundings and found that this place was very close to the valley, which meant that he was actually still at the border of Beichen Country. However, the distance from the Book Mountain Holy Land to this place was extremely long.

From this, it can be seen that this new master really values ​​him. Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and his eyes became slightly moist.

"Hmph! Nonsense! My disciple has disappeared without a trace, so naturally, I, your master, must personally search for him. Tell me, what exactly happened?" Xie Jinglun asked solemnly. In his opinion, as a semi-saint, there was nothing wrong with taking the trouble and risking his life to find his beloved disciple; it was simply the right thing to do.

While the master and disciple were talking, the people who followed Xie Jinglun also arrived one by one. Gu Tianchao, whose face had suddenly changed due to Xie Jinglun's sudden appearance, was now even more anxious.

However, despite his inner anxiety, he didn't dare to act rashly. Ever since then, he had felt an invisible and suffocating pressure, enveloping him tightly like an airtight net.

It felt as if if he dared to make the slightest movement, he would be torn to pieces and die without a burial place in the next moment.

Xie Jinglun first glanced at Gu Tianchao with a cold gaze, then turned to look at Gu Yunzhou with a stern tone and said, "Tell me clearly what happened! I want to hear it carefully. Which family dared to kill my apprentice in secret?"

These words were spoken with great momentum and domineering power, fully displaying the majesty and confidence that a Semi-Saint should possess. Indeed, anyone who dared to provoke a Semi-Saint of Xie Jinglun's terrifying power must be mentally prepared to endure his wrath and frenzied retaliation.

Normally, even those powerful families would not be willing to easily make enemies with such a powerful enemy unless it was absolutely necessary.

Gu Yunzhou, who was standing aside, felt very happy after hearing his master's strong statement. This was the meaning of "leaning on a big tree for shade". If he had not become Xie Jinglun's disciple, he would have suffered a loss today at most, and would slowly plot revenge when he became stronger in the future.

But now that he has a backer, of course he will take revenge from morning to night. He is such a simple and upright gentleman.

As he spoke, Gu Tianchao's face grew increasingly grim, his heart in turmoil. He repeatedly tried to defend himself. However, every time he mustered the courage to raise his head and meet Xie Jinglun's cold, emotionless eyes, the words on his lips were forced back into his stomach as if by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a word.
