Chapter 407: Chapter 407 – Turmoil in West Wind City

The people who were previously supposed to be sent by the ancient clan were indeed the experts. However, while on their way, they received news from the mansion of the city lord of West Wind City that something major had happened to the Gu Clan auction house.

So, everyone accelerated their speed to come over, but they were too late. Jiang Xiaobai and his group had finished and were long gone.

Only a mess of debris was left at the scene. Everyone there did not know what happened. However, judging by the traces left at the scene, the attacker was powerful and extremely ferocious.

The experts left behind by the Gu Clan auction house were not rivals at all. The reinforcement didn’t even arrive before they were slaughtered.

The man leading them was an elder of the Gu Clan, named Gu Chengtian.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, Gu Chengtian’s face was grave, and his expression was cold.

“What a bunch of trash, they can’t even handle this small task properly. That old bastard Gu Heng is truly letting the prince down.”

“If I had known this before, I would never have let that old thing Gu Heng come.”

Coldly finishing his speech, Gu Chengtian called over the other experts in West Wind City, all of whom were dogs raised by the Gu Clan. They were very respectful to Gu Heng, let alone Gu Chengtian.

Even more so, Gu Chengtian seemed to be angry now.

Everyone dared not speak, allowing Gu Chengtian to berate them. Then Gu Chengtian asked about what had happened recently. Various information was passed over, but a piece of intelligence given by one person attracted Gu Chengtian’s attention.

The information contained three words— Jiang Xiaobai.

Who in the Gu Clan doesn’t know about Jiang Xiaobai’s existence?

To Gu Bei, it is a disgrace that he is dealing with such a nuisance but has not succeeded yet. The Gu Clan is quite apprehensive about this.

Being a close associate of Gu Bei, Gu Chengtian knew how much Gu Bei hated Jiang Xiaobai.

“Alright, I understand the situation. All of you listen to my instructions from now on. If anyone dares to joke around or slack off, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

After finishing coldly, Gu Chengtian waved his hand to dismiss everyone.

In the loft of the Gu Clan auction house, only the elite warriors of the Gu Clan brought by Gu Chengtian were left. Over twenty people gathered around and were all looking at Gu Chengtian.

They were all aware of the matter with Jiang Xiaobai, so everyone was eager to try.

As long as they can capture Jiang Xiaobai, it would be a significant achievement. If they can catch him alive, the rewards from Prince Gu Bei would surely be plentiful.

Gu Chengtian understood what everyone was thinking and said calmly, “Everyone stay calm. Right now, we have no idea where Jiang Xiaobai is. Judging from the previous situation, the young man’s abilities should have improved a lot.”

“Elder, why are we afraid of him? Even if he becomes more powerful, he is still just at the Dividing Gods stage. We are all experts in the Unity Period. Isn’t it easy for us to deal with this Jiang Xiaobai?” one person said discontentedly.

“Jiang Xiaobai has many ways. If we act rashly, it’s easy to make a mistake.”

Gu Chengtian shook his head: “Right now, Prince Gu Bei is in retreat to break through the boundary. If he can successfully pass the Great Freedom of the Hai Xianzong, he will definitely reach Unity Period, or even higher.”

“Our prince’s target is the Holy City. We cannot disturb him in the slightest. So we cannot act rashly and startle the enemies. If there is any mistake, it will disgrace the Gu Clan again. Do you want that?”

None dared to speak up. At this critical juncture, it is crucial for the Gu Clan. If they can’t handle this matter well, they are likely to be detested by Gu Bei.

No one wants to upset the prince, especially since Gu Heng is already in trouble. The Gu Clan has lost face. If they fail again, Gu Bei will surely kill them.

“We need to proceed slowly. If the enemy does not move, we will not move. Jiang Xiaobai will definitely act next, let’s wait and see.”

Jiang Xiaobai and the others, completely oblivious to what had happened in West Wind City, were right now in a valley, looking at the bound Gu Heng, who looked like a crab.

Gu Heng’s goatee was plucked clean by Ao Cheng. This guy is addicted to mischief.

And Gu Heng was looking at the people in front of him in a half-dead state.

Jiang Xiaobai’s sword had pierced through his shoulder before. Subsequently, Gu Heng’s shoulder was nearly hacked off by Jiang Xiaobai, and his injuries were severe.

Jiang Xiaobai naturally would not waste extra elixir on this guy. As long as he ensured that Gu Heng would not die, it was enough. Therefore, we have the scene now.

Other than Mo Yu, the three people were all thoughtfully looking at Gu Heng.

The reason was simple. They had already questioned him before. This guy kept his lips sealed, remained stubborn unto death, and didn’t say a word despite various methods Ao Cheng had deployed.

They had reached a difficult situation.

They planned to bring Gu Heng here, intending to find some useful information from him. But what if Gu Heng refused to talk?

If they killed him, wouldn’t it be a great loss?

“What should we do, Jiang Xiaobai? You’re full of tricks, hurry up and think of something,” Ao Cheng looked at Jiang Xiaobai annoyedly.

Jiang Xiaobai twitched at the corners of his mouth:” You make it sound so easy. I’m thinking, just wait a moment.”

“We don’t have time, big brother. Surely the Gu Clan has responded by now. West Wind City still has many experts. They’re certainly trying to hunt us down. We can’t run away with this guy, can we?”

Ao Cheng said it, then swung a slap in Gu Heng’s face. “This old thing, you really are a piece of work. Does Gu Bei mean that little to you?”

“What, do you want me to give you some special treatment? I don’t believe you can endure the itch as well as the beatings!”

Ao Cheng was furious. He took off this guy’s shoes and scratched the soles of his feet with dog tail grass.

Although this method was somewhat shameless, it was slightly effective. Gu Heng could endure it at first, but later, he couldn’t help but start laughing hysterically.

However, even then, he refused to utter a word.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly stood up, a mischievous smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, when everyone saw Jiang Xiaobai’s smile, they suddenly felt extremely cold. It was as if Jiang Xiaobai was an unparalleled demon king, and something terrible was about to happen.

Especially Zhuang Huanling, she had seen how Jiang Xiaobai traps people. This kind of smile was too familiar.

“Got a plan?” Ao Cheng looked over excitedly.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, then raised his hand to pat Gu Heng’s cheek.

“Old man, you better enjoy it.”

Then, he started to take out some materials to do alchemy on the spot. Everyone was puzzled and thought Jiang Xiaobai was trying to concoct some poison pills, and so, everyone backed away.

However, Jiang Xiaobai naturally wouldn’t use that kind of low-level method. He mainly learned from Ao Cheng’s torture method.

Torture would do!

Thinking of his method, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but let out a chilly smile.
