C51 (1/2)

The voice was long and distant, like the echo of an empty valley, resounding in his ears. As the sound of his voice faded, the killing intent that permeated the air vanished without a trace. The one among the three men stepped to the side, ”The two of you, follow me.”

Jiang Shuo and Sun Daoming looked at each other, feeling uneasy, but had no choice. The two of them followed Flower into the house. On the surface, it looked like a normal house, but the interior was extremely spacious. The two of them passed through several rooms before reaching their destination. In front of him was a room made of bricks and stone. Even the door was a heavy stone door.

”Did the voice just now really come from here?” Jiang Shuo looked back at the distance behind him, admiring the depth of the inner strength of the people in the door. If it were him, not to mention his voice transmission, he probably wouldn't even be able to hear the commotion from the very start.

While Jiang Shuo was thinking, Sun Daoming, who was beside him, suddenly lightly bumped his arm.

Jiang Shuo looked at Sun Daoming and saw that he was already at the top of the stairs. Jiang Shuo looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the Frigid Butterfly on the wall above the stone gate. He couldn't help but stare.

”Sovereign.” At this time, Hua Lian called out humbly as she slightly bent her body and faced the tightly shut stone door.

”Come in.” A voice came from inside the door.

Flower One put both hands on the door and pushed. Seeing him struggle so hard, Jiang Shuo was secretly surprised, wondering how heavy this stone door was.

The four sides of the room were sealed, without a single window. The walls were inlaid with a ring of oil lamps, and under the light of the lamps, Jiang Shuo saw that there was a square cushion in the center of the room, with an elder sitting on it with his back to him.

The elder's hair was all white, spotless without a hint of dust. On the contrary, he appeared to be mentally strong, which was extremely strange. Just as the three of them entered the house, he raised his hand without looking back: ”Hua Yi, you can leave first.”

”Yes.” Hua Yi responded and left, leaving Jiang Shuo and Sun Daoming looking at each other in dismay. Obviously, this elder was the leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Gu Ming. However, the two of them had been chasing after the man in black all this time.

”You are Jiang Shuo?” The silence in the room was broken by Gu Ming's sudden words.

”Hmm?” Jiang Shuo was very surprised, he had never met him before, and did not know why he would know him. After a moment of hesitation, he answered, ”Yes.”

Gu Ming slowly turned around. His face was shiny, and his eyes were wise and profound. He smiled and looked Jiang Shuo up and down. Satisfied, he nodded and said, ”En, not bad, not bad. They have recruited a good seedling.” ”I heard that in solving the plague, you made a great contribution and became a celebrity in Yulin?”

”You're too kind. The main credit for that matter lies with Senior Sister Yu. I'm just running errands.” Although Gu Ming's attitude was kind, he didn't dare to be careless.

”There's no need for you to be modest. Back in the Raging Blade Sect, you were the real deal when you defeated that Chen Jin, right?” Gu Ming continued speaking.

Jiang Shuo was surprised, he did not know why this person in closed door training knew him so well. He responded with a faint smile as he stared at Gu Ming silently. He deliberately investigated himself, and it was definitely not as simple as appreciating him. After the pleasantries, it was time to get down to business.

”Jiang Shuo, Feng En just told me that you have a special technique, but have many doubts. If you have any questions, you can ask me. In terms of martial arts, I can at least give a hint. ” Gu Ming was still smiling, but his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he could see through Jiang Shuo.

Jiang Shuo's heartstrings immediately tensed. His cultivation technique, the Bone Sealing technique and the Pulse Swallowing Divine Technique, no matter which one, were all life-threatening secrets. The fact that Gu Ming brought up such a sensitive issue made Jiang Shuo wary.

”Listen to his words, it sounds like what his master told him. Why did Master do this, does it mean that the Sect Leader can trust him, or does it mean that he has other intentions? ” Jiang Shuo thought long and hard, not even knowing to what degree Feng En had revealed.

”Jiang Shuo?” Gu Ming slightly leaned forward and once again forcefully asked with a bewitching tone.

Jiang Shuo gritted his teeth, still not daring to trust Gu Ming. He felt as if he was in a huge whirlpool. His head was spinning and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.

At this time, Sun Daoming suddenly let out a surprised sound. Jiang Shuo turned his head and saw that the other was staring at Gu Ming, seemingly too surprised to blink.

Following his line of sight, Jiang Shuo's gaze fell on Gu Ming's shoulder. Immediately, his pupils contracted as if he was hit by an iron hammer, and his entire body went blank on the spot.

On Gu Ming's shoulder, the Frigid Butterfly at the plateau seemed to have found a home as it stopped steadily.

Gu Ming was the man in black who had attempted to assassinate Yu Han!

As if they had been struck by lightning on a clear day, the two of them were dumbstruck.

Recalling the name that had been crossed out on the paper, Jiang Shuo's mind went blank. He had never thought that the murderer was actually the most unlikely person.
