Chapter 457 - 457 Mysterious Visitors
457 Mysterious Visitors
As the somewhat hoarse voice fell, the temperature of the world dropped a few degrees, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.
“What a strange technique.”
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, and Zhan Tang could not help but ponder.
In the corner of the courtyard, three figures had appeared at some point in time. It was unknown if it was intentional, but they were all hidden in the shadows of the tree branches and the wall, so people could only see a vague outline. No one could see their faces.
“And where are you from?” Tang Conglin spoke first with a serious expression. At this moment, there was already a hint of anger on his face.
As the Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Lanjiang City, outsiders had intruded into his territory time and time again. This kind of behavior was simply disrespecting him and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
To defend the dignity of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, normally, he would attack the person without saying anything. However, it was the critical moment of the Grand Sect Competition. The whole Lanjiang City was mixed with good and bad people. Even as a branch master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he had to consider the consequences when he did anything.
The world was so big, and there were always some people that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was not willing to provoke.
“Pavilion Master Tang, you don’t have to worry about where we come from.”
The hoarse-voiced man in the middle did not answer Tang Conglin’s question. He first stared at Gu Xi for a while, then turned to Elder Zhan Tang who was not far away. He chuckled and said, “I’ve already roughly understood the entanglement between your sect and this Gu Lan. It just so happens that we have a grudge against this Gu Lan too. If your sect doesn’t mind, we can use this opportunity to teach this fellow a good lesson.”
As soon as he said this, Zhan Tang was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy appeared on his face. However, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and no one noticed it.
Although he did not know the background of these three people and what kind of grudges they had against Gu Xi, only a fool would refuse such free help!
However, since Gu Xi was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Tang Conglin and Tong Shan, the two branch leaders of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, were also present. He did not express his attitude directly. Instead, he chuckled and said, “If there’s any enmity or resentment between you and Gu Lan, our Zhan Clan will not interfere. However, it seems that you’re in a hurry. In that case, you can settle your enmity first.”
As he said that, Zhan Tang led a group of Zhan Clan disciples to the side, as if they were prepared to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
As he looked at the Zhan Clan members who had retreated to the side, Tang Conglin cursed them in his heart. In order to prevent the situation from escalating further, he could only look at the three people in the shadows and said in a deep voice, “No matter what kind of grudges you have with Gu Lan, you should give us an explanation for barging into our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion without permission.”
“Although I don’t know what kind of grudges you have between the two of you, I’m afraid you’ll have to think twice if you want to touch a disciple of my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in my presence.”
Tang Conglin snorted coldly. Tong Shan’s expression was equally cold. Two extraordinary fluctuations gushed out from their bodies. It was clear that they were prepared to fight.
Moreover, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion also unleashed their spiritual energy and surrounded the three people in the shadows as well as the Zhan Clan members.
Now that things had come to this, if they did not bare their fangs to deter their enemies, it would be embarrassing. Once this matter spread, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s reputation would be destroyed.
As for the actions of the people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the three people of unknown origin tacitly chose to turn a blind eye to it, and their eyes were fixed on Gu Xi at this time.
Similarly, since the appearance of the three people, Gu Xi’s line of sight had been firmly locked on the three of them, and he had been maintaining a high degree of tension.
“Gu Lan, it’s time for us to take this opportunity to settle our grudges.”
The man in the shadows spoke again. This time, he ignored the threats from Tang Conglin and the other disciples from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Seeing this, many young and aggressive disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were angry. If they did not know that the situation was not right, they would have gone ahead and scolded them or teach them a lesson.
“There are so many people in this world who have a grudge against me, who do you think you are?” Gu Xi smiled and turned to look at Zhan Tang. He squinted her eyes and asked, “There’s something that I’m curious about. Since Zhan Hong is so important to your Zhan Clan, why didn’t that old man Zhan Wushuang come personally?”
As soon as he said that, a trace of undetectable nervousness flashed across Zhan Tang’s face.
Although the elder quickly hid his expression and returned to normal, this detail was still captured by Gu Xi who had sharp eyes and quick hands. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
“There’s no need for the Master to personally deal with someone like you.” Zhan Tang snorted.
Upon hearing this, the bad feeling in Gu Xi’s heart was magnified.
According to Zhan Hong’s position in the Zhan Clan and Zhan Wushuang’s behaviour, he would definitely not ignore it. But now, the three-day deadline was up, and this old man had not appeared at the crucial moment.
As for what Zhan Tang said, Gu Xi did not believe it at all.
Gu Xi smiled disdainfully and was about to say something when a message suddenly entered his mind.
“Zhan Wushuang is with me.”
It was Little Nine’s voice!
Gu Xi suddenly came to a realization and knew that this was bad.
The thing he was most worried about had still happened!
Gu Xi did not bring Zhan Hong back to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion after kidnapping him. This was done to hide him well, in case the Zhan Clan found an opportunity to rescue him. But now, Zhan Wushuang had actually appeared there!
There was only one possibility. Zhan Hong must have some unique mark of the Zhan Clan or something else on his body. That was how Zhan Wushuang could find his hiding place!
“Damn it!” Gu Xi cursed in a low voice and immediately left the place.
Right now, Little Nine was in an extremely dangerous situation. At this moment, he naturally had to rush to Little Nine’s location first. At the very least, he could not let Zhan Hong return to the hands of the Zhan Clan!
Without Zhan Hong as a bargaining chip, based on the Zhan Clan’s style of doing things, they would definitely pursue the two of them to the death!
