Chapter 41

Elder Nan Gong's cultivation was profound, and his divine sense could cover a wide range. While escaping, he had been spreading his divine sense out to prevent enemies from catching up.

And now, he sensed that the assassins from the Western Nether God Palace had appeared and were rapidly approaching!

"Damn it! How did I get discovered so quickly! "

Elder Nan Gong's expression was gloomy, and he was about to escape east with Gu Chen.

"Not good, there are people in the east too!"

His expression changed completely after sensing with his divine sense. Not only in the east and west, but also in the south and north, assassins from the Nether God Palace had suddenly appeared.

It was clear that they had already laid out an inescapable net, and now they were just pulling it in!

"We can't escape."

Elder Nan Gong smiled bitterly. In just a short while, black figures shuttled between the starlight and the clouds like a school of fish looking for food.

"Those are the assassins from the Nether God Palace?"

Gu Chen's expression was stern, and he unsheathed the Chilling Star Sword as if he was facing a great enemy.

Those assassins all wore long black robes and hoods, and their robes were embroidered with underworld sparrows.

Even before arriving, he could already feel the dense murderous intent.

All of them could fly in the air, unlike him who had to rely on Elder Nan Gong. Clearly, they were at least in the Transcendent Realm.

His heart suddenly sank.

"Wear this jade!"

Elder Nan Gong took out a white jade pendant and casually put it on Gu Chen's chest.

Then, he took a step forward and roared at the sky.

"Which Underworld God Guard has arrived?"

Under the cold moonlight, a haha laughter came from the clouds.

"It's me."

A man in yellow with a bamboo hat appeared out of nowhere. His body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and a pair of green eyes were vaguely revealed under the bamboo hat, like will-o '-the-wisp.

"It's you! Man with a bamboo hat, I didn't think Huangfu Wuji would be willing to send you out. "

Seeing this, Elder Nan Gong's expression turned serious.

This person was one of the most special Underworld God Guards in the Nether God Palace. No one knew his name or origin, and they all called him by the code name Man with a bamboo hat.

"I have recently been conducting a new human experiment in the Eastern Wilderness. I heard that the little guy from the Gu Family has awakened the Tyrant Bone, so of course I had to come and take a look."

His eyes exuded a treacherous color, causing Gu Chen to shudder.

"How did you discover our tracks so quickly?"

Elder Nangong questioned.

"Nangong Zheng, do you really think that we won't be able to find you just because you're hiding in a small sect?"

Man with a bamboo hat replied coldly.

"I see!"

Elder Nan Gong smiled bitterly in his heart. So the problem was with him. He had long been targeted. Bringing Gu Chen away had instead implicated him!

Fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Since I can't escape, let's fight!"

His body rippled with a resolute aura, and he decided to give it his all.

"I advise you to stop. The disparity in strength is too great. It would be bad if you hurt the little guy, right?"

Man with a bamboo hat laughed.

"Hmph, instead of letting him be captured by you and suffer the pain of having his bones dug out, I, Old Man, might as well finish him off here!"

Elder Nangong's expression became crazed, like a wild beast that had gone berserk.

"What do you want to do?"

Man with a bamboo hat felt that something was wrong.

Elder Nan Gong turned around and stared at Gu Chen with a bloodthirsty look. At the same time, a voice rang in Gu Chen's mind.

"Gu Chen, originally, Old Man wanted to personally send you to the Nanling Mountains, but it seems that it won't be possible now. Old Man can only send you on your way. What happens next is up to you. "

Gu Chen felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. "Elder …"

Boom!

Elder Nangong suddenly made his move. His entire body shone brilliantly, and an energy beam struck Gu Chen who was just inches away from him!

The strong light was so bright that the hundreds of assassins from the Nether God Palace could not open their eyes. The jade pendant on Gu Chen's chest cracked and shattered!

Before he could say anything, his body turned into light and disappeared!

When the strong light passed, the assassins from the Nether God Palace regained their vision. They only saw Elder Nan Gong laughing hysterically.

"Hahaha, Huangfu Wuji, the Gu Family's kid was killed by the Old Man and disappeared from the face of the earth. Your wish has failed!"

The group of assassins was instantly enraged. They did not expect that the heavy encirclement they had set up would be destroyed by this old man!

"Come, let the Old Man fight to his heart's content!"

This time, Elder Nan Gong no longer had any apprehensions. His whole body erupted with an aura as vast as the mountains and seas.

Man with a bamboo hat stared at the place where Gu Chen disappeared. His will-o '-wisp eyes revealed a hint of ridicule.

"Elder Nan Gong Zheng, stop acting in front of me. You didn't even kill him earlier. You only used a spatial technique to teleport him away, right? "

Elder Nan Gong's expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's fine if you don't admit it. In any case, you can't hide from my eyes. From the spatial fluctuations earlier, that kid definitely hasn't run far. He must still be in Feng Lin Manor.

All of you, spread out immediately and search for that kid's whereabouts. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must capture him for me! As for this old thing, let me deal with him! "

Man with a bamboo hat commanded. The group of assassins immediately obeyed and wanted to leave.

"You guys dare?! The Old Man will fight it out with you guys! "

Elder Nan Gong roared furiously and rushed forward with all his might.

…

Wuchen Sect, beside the Rising Dragon Pool.

Sect Leader Wang Yuezhi, Grand Elder Tao Yu, and True Martial Academy's Xu Yun were all here.

They had just finished listening to Ye Qingshuang's recount of what happened tonight and were staring at the four corpses on the ground.

"I've underestimated the influence of the appearance of the Tyrant Firmament Bone. I also didn't notice Teacher Wu's ambition. I've let everyone down."

Xu Yun's expression turned heavy.

"Elder Nan Gong brought Gu Chen away just like that? Could it be that he wants to monopolize the Tyrant Firmament Bone? "

Wang Yuezhi mumbled. Right now, he was more concerned about Gu Chen's whereabouts.

In the depths of his eyes, a hint of greed flashed.

"Sect Leader Wang, Elder Tao, I have a premonition that this matter has already surpassed our control. You guys better bring your disciples and flee as soon as possible."

Xu Yun suddenly spoke.

"Flee? Teacher Xu, are you joking? "

Both the Grand Elder and Sect Leader were shocked. How could it be possible for them to abandon the sect and flee?

"The progress of the matter will definitely go out of control. At that time, things will be out of control. I hope you guys can listen to me."

"Teacher Wu is dead. I have to leave Feng Lin Manor immediately and return to the academy as soon as possible to report this matter to the higher-ups."

Xu Yun was a little nervous. She could feel that the air was filled with the smell of a storm.

"Teacher Xu, if you want to leave, you will bring Qing Shuang along, right?"

The Grand Elder hurriedly asked. Ye Qingshuang, who was at the side, also lifted her head, a hint of hope flashing in her eyes.

Her wish had always been to enter the True Martial Academy and head to the majestic Middle Earth Empire.

Even after Wu Mo's matter, she still had this wish in her heart.

"If Qing Shuang is still willing to believe in our True Martial Academy, I will naturally be very willing."

Xu Yun nodded. "I feel very guilty about this. If Qing Shuang is willing to leave with me, I will definitely do my best to take care of her."

The Grand Elder couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly shot a glance at his disciple, telling her to thank him.

Hence, that night, Ye Qingshuang left with Xu Yun. Xu Yun was in a hurry and didn't even give her the time to return home.

"You guys better leave as soon as possible."

Before Xu Yun left, she reminded him again.

Wang Yuezhi didn't reply directly. After they left, he immediately discussed with Tao Yu.

"Quickly gather the elders and disciples. Get them to search for Nangong and Gu Chen. No matter what, they must be found!"

His eyes were filled with excitement, as if he was driven by his primal instincts.

"Are we not leaving?"

"Why should we leave? This is my … no, this is a heaven-sent opportunity for our sect to rise!"
