Book 5: Sect - Chapter 14: Curse (1/2)

“Bang!”

The ornate, porcelain cup sla into a fine powder

“A bunch of worthless trash!+ You actually let the said as he stared at his subordinates with an ashen expression

One of the subordinates replied, “Young Master, the situation was too strange That Su Chen seeht up to them, but then they jumped into the water and disappeared without a trace It seems like they possessed some kind of water concealment technique”

“I don’t knohether Su Chen has a water concealluo did? When did she learn this water concealment technique? I’d be ence and are just co said as he unleashed a punch, i It was obvious that he was no longer alive

It wasn’t that Gu Feihong was being too self-confident or opinionated It was that the technique Su Chen had ed to develop was a kind that had never really been seen before across the entire Pri and body-splitting techniques didn’t exist A few unique bloodlines allowed a person to achieve this result, but most of them could only exist for a limited amount of ti technique Su Chen had developed was the ht not be the most powerful in combat, but the clones’ ability to survive apart from the main host were unrivalled This was because of Su Chen’s deep understanding and coin Substances At the sah consciousness that he didn’t need to worry about expending a sive him control over these clones

Because this kind of technique was still unheard of at that point in ti had made a mistake in his analysis of the situation

Even so, after a period of interrogation, Gu Feihong discovered that the two of the into a well Whether or not it was actually a kind of water concealment, it was obvious that Su Chen possessed some kind of secret escape technique

“Daer

He paced back and forth a few ti, “They probably aren’t in the city anymore Since they have an escape technique, we probably won’t be able to find them even if we send more people to look for them It seems like we can only ask the iluo……” Yang Chunyan was stunned and wanted to entreat Gu Feihong

“Shut yourChunyan “If it weren’t for you, could Gu Qingluo have gotten away?”

Yang Chunyan lowered his head and didn’t say anything

Gu Feihong said loudly, “Prepare the carriage I’o see the Crown Prince!”

After an hour

At the Crown Prince’s residence

Chu Jiangyu sat on his seat of honor, cal his tea “Brother Gu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this goes against the agreeree that the Swan-Catching De the law, not for any personal moves Your current request putschuckled “I knoever, I a this request ofon their promise that way”

“The question is, can you say that you represent the Gu Clan?”

“This……” Gu Feihong hesitated

The Gu Clan had twelve Human Emperors, twenty-seven different faht elders in the Elders Council All of these individuals were important mehts on thedid have a respected position ast the Gu Clan, but he was not the only one with such a position

He could indeed influence the Gu Clan, but he was far from the point where he couldhihtly “See? It’s not that I don’t want to help you; it’s that you are unable to give o to my father just because you asked me to, then I most likely wouldn’t be able to see my position as the Crown Prince all the way to the end”

Gu Feihong grew agitated “Please, Crown Prince, you must help me! No matter what, I cannot watch that illicit couple act outside of the law”

Chu Jiangyu’s expression sank slightly “You ht? The laws of Empty Mountain are dictated by the Chu Clan, not the Gu Clan”

Gu Feihong realized that he had iveto offer a Thousand-Year Azurite in exchange!”

“Thousand-Year Azurite?” Chu Jiangyuabout it for a moment, he said, “It’s not iiveand iin Bloodline as a seal”

“This……” Gu Feihong hesitated for a ritted his teeth and said, “Fine!”

After sending Gu Feihong away, Chu Jiangyu sed fro to ask His Majesty to activate the Swan-Catching Mirror just for a piece of Thousand-Year Azurite?”

Chu Jiangyu’s eyebrows juh the Thousand-Year Azurite is valuable, would I treasure it? I am the Crown Prince here, and we have any treasure you could possibly iine Why would I care about the Gu Clan’s treasures?”

“Then you……”

Chu Jiangyu chuckled darkly, “If I didn’t take some of his benefits, hoould I show that I was entreated by so up the Gu Clan on a platter! Even if I didn’t give hiree Hahahaha!”

The Gu Clan agreed to be supervised by the Chu Clan, but as long as the Gu Clan was not rebelling, atte down their bloodline, the Chu Clan was not allowed to carelessly observe thereement forMirror

However, as descendants possessing an Origin Beast Bloodline, who could say whether or not they were up to no good?

In the past few years, the Chu Clan had activated the Swan-Catching Mirror a few times after certain incidents had occurred in the Gu Clan’s territory However, the Gu Clan was always aware that it was going to happen

Since they were aware it was going to happen, they would naturallythe Swan-Catching Mirror under these kinds of circumstances didn’t allow them to monitor the Gu Clan at all

However, today was different

Gu Feihong hadanyone fro Dragon seal as well as an Origin Bloodline seal on a written request This way, the Chu Clan wouldn’t be violating the agreement between the two clans, yet they could still use this opportunity to observe the Gu Clan
