Chapter 401: Gu Yao (1/2)

Gu Yao looked at the speechless faces of everyone and couldn't help but chuckle.

”Looks like my subordinates did much better work than I expected. I never expected them to be able to maintain the disguise for such a long time.” Gu Yao laughed.

He then looked at Qing Yuan Tiu before asking ”so I assume my brother is in trouble?”

”Master Wu Xun has been taken in by the royal court for questioning. They are investigating the disappearance of the mercenaries and the cultivators along with the commoners.” Qing yuan Tiu answered.

”Ah… I see. I guess I'll have to get him back later on. By the time we're done here all the accusations will be nullified.” Gu Yao replied.

The supreme elder and peak master Yi Deng drew out their weapons and got ready to attack. The supreme elder had a spear as his weapon while the peak master had a fan. From the spirit qi fluctuations that were coming from the two spirit weapons Lin Mu could tell that they were at the high grade.

This was the second time he was actually seeing a high-grade spirit weapon in someone else's hands. These weapons looked rather simple but Lin Mu could tell the difference between them. The spear of the Supreme elder was a pure forging type of spirit weapon while the fan that the peak master Yi Deng was using was an enchantment type of spirit weapon.

”Oh? You think you can fight me?” Gu Yao taunted.

”It doesn't matter, we will still stop you.” The supreme elder replied before stabbing forward with his spear.

~shing~

Before the spear could stab into the body of Gu Yao though, it was stopped by his finger. The bloodstreams that were flowing around his wrapped around his hand like a gauntlet and he stopped the attack like that.

”Impossible!” The supreme elder exclaimed.

”Ahaha! If it was about a year ago, this would have been enough to injure me greatly. But I'm afraid you all are too late…” Gu Yao replied before flicking the spear away.

~shua~

The peak master waved the fan in his hand and an illusory fan that was ten times as large formed in the air. This fan was made out of orange flames and spread out towards Gu Yao.

~humph~

”Small tricks…” he uttered before flicking his index and middle finger together upwards.

With that gesture, a wall of blood rose from the blood pool and easily blocked the flaming fan. It was instantly doused and nullified, leaving Yi Deng breathless. Not only had that attack taken a lot from him, but it being blocked had also damaged him slightly.

Wu Hei too decided to give up on the pretenses and showed his true strength.

~huala~

Waves of spirit qi rose from his body as they spread in the area. Lin Mu and the two disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect couldn't help but notice this.

”Peak stage core condensation realm!” Quan Hong exclaimed.

”Unity flipping fist!” Wu Hei chanted before his hands were covered in a white glow.

~Deng~
