Chapter 372 - Origins
Now that Nie Li and Xiao Yu had safely escaped, the others rejoiced!
What else did they have to worry about?
“Everyone, retreat!” Li Xingyun barked.
The Demon League and Heavenly Path League split into dozens of smaller groups and charged out, retreating while fighting off their enemies.
Gu Heng led his men in a chase for a few hundred kilometres. Although both sides had suffered quite a few losses, at least half of the Heavenly Path and Demon Leagues’ combined forces managed to retreat safely. Gu Heng could only watch as they escaped.
A quick count told Gu Heng that the Heavenly Path and Demon Leagues had suffered a total of five thousand casualties, while he’d suffered six thousand. Li Yufueng had also suffered over a thousand deaths.
Three of his Deity’s Lakes were gone and he’d suffered more losses in personnel than his enemies. Gu Heng was extremely depressed.
He looked out at the horizon, in the direction that the Heavenly Path and Demon Leagues had escaped to, and rays of wrath flashed through his eyes. “If we were only killing each other out of hatred, then maybe the family elders wouldn’t be bothered over it. However, I don’t think that’s the case anymore, since you dared to commit actions like destroying Deity’s Lakes! Gu Bei, let’s see if your position as first-in-line successor is still stable!”
Gu Heng led a group of men and rushed back to the Divine Feathers Sect.
He definitely had to get the elders riled up about this, then make them impeach Gu Bei!
Destroying three of his Deity’s Lakes was just too vicious a move. He definitely had to make Gu Bei pay the price!
One day later, Skysoul Institute, Gu Bei’s courtyard
Gu Bei, Li Xingyun, and Lu Piao were gathered together.
Gu Bei frowned and questioned, “Why isn’t Nie Li back, yet?”
Li Xingyun smiled. “Xiao Yu unleashed a mysterious inscription pattern array at the last minute to save them. It looked like some kind of space-time array. Since they’ve already stored their fate souls, they’ll only be able to die once before they return. There’s nothing to worry about!”
Since the outside world was so vast, sending out a search party wouldn’t be a good idea.
Gu Bei nodded. “Alright then. Let’s just forget about it for now!”
Lu Piao wasn’t worried for Nie Li in the slightest.
They began discussing the arrangements for compensating the members of the Heavenly Path and Demon Leagues who’d died. Suddenly, a servant anxiously walked in. That servant’s name was Gu Teng. He was one of Gu Bei’s direct subordinates.
“Master Bei, I just received news that Gu Heng is trying to contact the elders of the Gu Clan to impeach you!” Gu Teng anxiously reported.
“Impeach me?” Gu Bei was stunned for a moment.
“It seems to be about the destruction of their three Deity’s Lakes!” Gu Teng reported.
