Chapter 97 Gu Hao suddenly arrives
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen walked out of his room and knocked on Zheng Yiran's door.
After a while, the door opened with a "creak" sound. Zheng Yiran walked out in a black outfit and looked stunning.
However, her face was not good-looking, and there was a hint of uneasiness and worry in her eyebrows.
"Junior Sister Zheng, what's wrong with you? I feel like I'm worried about it?" Jiang Chen glanced at her and said lightly.
"Oh, maybe I didn't sleep well last night!" Zheng Yiran coughed twice, then tried his best to hide it.
"Then do you want to take a break? Let's go to that place to practice another day!" Jiang Chen said with a hurry and worried look on his face.
"Uh... it's okay! Let's go now!" Zheng Yiran was slightly shocked after hearing this, but shook her head and said.
"Then... well! Let's go on the road!" Seeing that she insisted, Jiang Chen stopped objecting.
So the two of them greeted Yan Ming, then turned into two rays of light and headed towards the cliff.
After about a stick of incense, the two of them had already arrived on the cliff. Jiang Chen then walked to a big tree and tried to cast four ghost fires at the same time.
After he selected this big tree, he began to recite the spell silently. Now, the difficult-to-mouthed ghost fire spell has been recited so skillfully that it is no longer familiar to Jiang Chen.
Soon, with the silent recitation of the spell, the spiritual power in Jiang Chen's body immediately began to surge under the guidance of his spiritual consciousness, and the air also churned and emitting a "chi, chi" sound.
At this time, a green ghost fire appeared from the air and then floated in front of Jiang Chen. The surface of the ghost fire emitted a dark green light.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a low voice, and the ghost fire immediately flew towards the big tree in the distance with lightning speed, and there were also sharp whistling sounds during the flight.
But the ghost fire flew to the middle, and suddenly changed. It turned into three, three, nine, and instantly turned into nine, and then attacked the big tree from four directions.
There was a continuous "puff" sound. After nine groups of ghost fires crashed into the big tree, the trunk immediately burned violently, and some dead branches and leaves fell down, and several large holes appeared on the trunk. After a while, the big tree shook violently, shaking, but it was not burned instantly.
"Oh, it's just a little bit! If I could transform the ghost fire into four, four transformations into sixteen, I believe that I would definitely be able to break the big tree in one fell swoop. However, it would be a huge leap to transform the ghost fire from three transformations and nine to four transformations and sixteen. If I could perfectly control the sixteen groups of ghost fire at the same time, the ghost fire technique would officially advance to the fourth level." Jiang Chen thought regretfully. He felt that he had touched the threshold of the fourth level of the ghost fire technique, and it seemed that he was just a little short of breaking through the bottleneck.
Try again. Jiang Chen thought to himself.
He then sat down first, prepared to rest and rest, and restore the spiritual power he had just consumed.
But just shortly after he sat down, he heard a burst of "hehehe" laughter.
A middle-aged man with a horse face appeared in the open space, and two disciples with late-stage Qi Refining Cultivation were followed by him.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at them. Seeing that the three of them were all wearing the costumes of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Fang stood up and said in surprise: "I wonder which peak of uncle and the two senior brothers are from? Jiang Chen greeted him!"
"Hahaha! Jiang Chen, today is your death date! Originally, I just wanted to ask about my son Gu Zhiyong's whereabouts, but now it seems that there is no need for this! Soul search can also achieve this goal!" Gu Hao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said viciously.
Two weeks ago, he sent Jiang Wei, Guo Cheng and Tao Dawei to intercept Jiang Chen, but he did not expect that Guo Cheng and Tao Dawei were both killed by Jiang Chen. Jiang Wei finally saved his life and fled back. According to him, Jiang Chen had two fat heads and big ears helpers from the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, which caused them to be killed and injured.
After Gu Hao received the news, he hurriedly followed Jiang Wei and his other confidant disciple Zhao Jun. But Jiang Chen had long been missing.
Later, I asked the guards of Qingmu City and learned that six monks dressed in casual cultivators had left the city, and the three of them were in the same shape as Jiang Chen and the fat brothers.
In desperation, Gu Hao had to go back in disappointment. Soon after, he received the order that the Blood Shadow Sect was about to invade, and Yuchi Bin ordered the entire Qingmu Mountain line to enter the entire alert state.
He didn't dare to neglect, so he really prepared for a while. It was not until a week passed that he felt relieved when he saw that there was no movement in the Blood Shadow Sect.
"So you are Gu Zhiyong's father Gu Hao? When I went down the mountain, I met Jiang Wei and the other three intercepted him. Was you sent him?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"They are all my disciples! But I am really careless! I didn't expect that you, a guy, actually had a helper, which caused me to die in battle, and only Jiang Wei escaped! So this time, I took action personally! I will definitely tear you apart!" Gu Hao said gritting his teeth.
"Haha! You're looking for the right person! I did kill Gu Zhiyong! But he was looking for death himself and wanted to kill me first, but he was the one who was against me, but I killed me instead!" Jiang Chen saw that his face had been torn apart, so he admitted it openly.
"You are a merciful boy! But I don't matter if you do it first or my Yong'er first, in short, you should die if you kill my Yong'er!" Gu Hao was slightly surprised when Jiang Chen admitted this, and wondered how this person was so arrogant in front of him. However, in an instant, his mind was filled with anger when he learned that his son was dead and was ready to kill someone.
At this moment, Zheng Yiran, who was standing beside him, said anxiously: "Uncle Gu, have you agreed to me, saying that you just want to ask the reason for Senior Brother Jiang's affairs, will it not harm his life?"
Before Gu Hao could answer, another disciple Zhao Jun, who was beside him, sarcastically said: "Zheng Yiran! Are you confused or what? Jiang Chen has already confessed to kill Junior Brother Zhiyong, how can we let him go?"
After hearing this, Zheng Yiran burst into tears and said, "But... But Senior Brother Jiang is my savior. If it weren't for him that day, I would have been insulted by the people from the Demon Corpse Peak..."
Gu Hao laughed to the sky and said, "Zheng Yiran, since you are so reluctant to leave him, I will send you to Huangquan to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same life! Hahaha!"
When Zheng Yiran heard this, he had no fear on his delicate pretty face, but said worriedly: "I'm not willing to die...but my brother is my only relative, you..."
"Hehe! Do you think we will leave hidden dangers?" Gu Hao laughed.
"What? What's wrong with my brother?" Zheng Yiran's heart suddenly became cold when he heard this.
The reason why she promised to be an insider for Gu Hao to report Jiang Chen's appearance was that Gu Hao held her brother hostage and forced him to force him.
She had no parents since she was a child and had been wandering with her brother. The brother and sister depended on each other for life. When she was a child, she survived by her brother working outside to earn money. Although her brother had no spiritual roots and could not practice, her brother was undoubtedly the closest person she was.
"Hmph! Just a mortal, I have been taking it to feed the ghost servant long ago!" Gu Hao sneered.
The tears on Zheng Yiran's pretty face suddenly frozen, and she felt very sad.
Before, she had reported Jiang Chen's figure to Gu Hao against her conscience, which made her heart cut. But now she heard the news of her brother being killed. She felt like she was falling into an ice cellar. Although she was still standing there, her beautiful eyes no longer had any glory, like a dead person.
"Master, can Zheng Yiran not kill this first? Why not give her to her disciples? I heard that she is a flower on the Demon Soul Peak. Such a charming beauty will kill her, but she is a pity!" Zhao Jun looked at Zheng Yiran with a confused look on her face, but she looked even more pitiful, and said greedily.
"Well! As long as you can ensure that the news is not leaked, it doesn't matter if it is left to you!" Although Gu Hao was cruel, he was still generous to the disciples who were loyal to him. He was not worried that Zheng Yiran would leak the secrets. Ghost cultivators have at least several ways to control people's minds.
"Then thank you, Master!" Zhao Jun was immediately overjoyed after hearing this. He immediately prepared to step forward and take action.
At this time, Jiang Wei also stood up and volunteered: "Master, why use a knives to kill chickens? Let your disciples come and meet him! The last time he lost to him was because his helpers were powerful! This time, he was the only one, and the disciples could defeat him!"
After hearing this, Gu Hao felt reasonable. He took action against a Qi Refining Disciple in front of his two disciples, as if he was a big bullying the small, and he had a good share. So he nodded slightly and said, "Then Jiang Wei, you go and meet Jiang Chen, Zhao Jun will take down Zheng Yiran!"
"Disciple, obey the order!" Jiang Wei and Zhao Jun responded together. Then they slowly took a step towards where Jiang Chen and Zheng Yiran stood...
