Tu Wanjun was only an eight-star martial master, but he was extremely cautious in his actions. Most of the places where he caused trouble were small dynasties. These small dynasties were only first- or second-rate forces, so it was not easy to deal with him.
There was even an incident where a cultivator from a super-powerful force was killed by him when he went to deal with him. Even the Tianjian Sect had no recent intelligence about him. Yang Qi could only go to the Wanxiang Tower to look for information about Tu Wanjun.
After leaving Tianjian Gate, Yang Qi headed towards Wujun County. As Yang Qi expected, Wanxiang Tower did have information about Tu Wanjun, but the price for the information about Tu Wanjun was not low, a full 500,000 crystals!
In the entire Zichen Continent, perhaps only Wanxiang Tower dared to sell a piece of information for 500,000 yuan of crystals. However, if Yang Qi wanted to find Tu Wanjun, apart from the information from Wanxiang Tower, he had no better way, so he had to pay for the information.
"In the Xuanming Dynasty."
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. The Xuanming Dynasty was located in the southern part of the Xiongshou Mountains. It was a small dynasty at the border between the Great Chu Empire and the Great Zhou Empire.
“I remember that the last time Tu Wanjun showed up was in a small dynasty between the Holy Empire and the Great Chu Empire. Now he appears here. Is he planning to do evil again?” Yang Qi’s eyes focused. According to past records, every time Tu Wanjun did evil, he would hide himself immediately, and the place where he appeared next time was often the place where he would do evil next time.
"We must rush to the Xuanming Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Yang Qi's expression became solemn. The strength of the royal family of the Xuanming Dynasty was only that of a first-rate force, and they were simply unable to keep Tu Wanjun.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi did not hesitate. After leaving the county town, he directly used his flying martial arts and headed towards the direction of the Xuanming Dynasty.
Um
Flying all the way, hundreds of miles away from the county town, Yang Qi's brows suddenly frowned, "Someone is following us?"
Ever since he left the county town, there has been a breath within his perception range. This breath has been following him for hundreds of miles and it is very likely that it was tracking him.
"Coincidence?"
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. The practitioners who knew his identity should be clear about his strength. However, this practitioner who appeared within his perception range was only a four-star martial master and was not enough to pose a threat to him!
Whoosh~
Yang Qi flew by without paying too much attention to the four-star martial master within his perception range. However, to his surprise, the aura within his perception range had been following him all the time, and the aura thousands of miles away from the county town was still within his perception range.
"Speeding up?"
Suddenly, in Yang Qi's perception, the speed of the four-star martial master suddenly increased, and he was rapidly approaching Yang Qi's location.
A moment later, Yang Qi saw a figure flying towards him. At the same time, a loud shout came from the direction of the figure, "Yang Qi!"
"Who are you?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him and feeling the strong hostility from him, Yang Qi frowned slightly. In his memory, he did not recognize this mid-level martial arts master in front of him.
"Don't you know me?"
The middle-aged man smiled coldly and growled, "Gu Xingnan is my son!"
"Are you Gu Xingnan's father?"
Yang Qi was stunned, looking at the man in front of him in some astonishment, but the next moment, he realized that Gu Xingnan's actual age was only about fifty years old. Even if his father was a cultivator at the Martial Sect level, it was very normal for him to be alive as long as he did not die accidentally.
“That’s right.” The middle-aged man stared at Yang Qi with his eyes fixed on him. A strong killing intent surged through his body. He said coldly, “The family doesn’t dare to seek revenge on you. As a father, I have no choice but to do it myself.”
Yang Qi's eyes swept over the middle-aged man not far away, and said indifferently, "You are not my opponent. Gu Xingnan is dead. Don't force me to kill anyone."
The father avenged his son, regardless of whether he was right or wrong.
"It's just a death. The senior members of the family have long forgotten that if it weren't for Xingnan, the Gu family would have been gone long ago. But now they can't bear to leave the Gu family." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
When he first received the news of Gu Xingnan's death, he placed his hopes on Wu Xingkong and his family, but Wu Xingkong ultimately failed to kill Yang Qi, and he did not have the ability to question Wu Xingkong, but the Gu family's decision made him feel heartbroken.
The Gu family was originally a second-rate force in the Great Chu Empire. After a lot of fighting, they fled to the Great Zhou Empire and could only be considered a third-rate force. If Gu Xingnan had not joined the Wuzhou Academy and became a disciple of Wu Xingkong, the Gu family's status would have greatly increased and they would have obtained many resources. How could the Gu family have grown from a third-rate force to a second-rate force, and even to a first-rate force in just a few decades
However, after Gu Xingnan's death, the family leaders chose to give up revenge after learning of the offer from the Black Wind Palace. This was something the middle-aged man could not accept. His most proud son died, and the family did not come forward to seek revenge, so he came to the Great Chu Empire in person to seek revenge on Yang Qi!
Yang Qi looked at the middle-aged man opposite him and snorted coldly, "I am not interested in knowing about your Gu family's affairs. If you are trying to stop me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
If any other cultivator had stopped him and wanted to kill him, Yang Qi would probably have killed the other person directly. However, the middle-aged man in front of him was just a father who had lost his son. Yang Qi was not so cruel as to kill him directly upon seeing him.
“Why don’t you just kill me?” Seeing that Yang Qi didn’t do anything, the middle-aged man sneered and continued, “You killed my son, and now you want to pretend to be merciful?”
"Considering that you lost your son, I can let bygones be bygones this time. You'd better not force me." Yang Qi's eyes fell on the middle-aged man, and a powerful aura burst out from his body, pressing towards the middle-aged man, trying to make him give up.
The middle-aged man felt the powerful force coming at him, but a strange smile appeared on his face. "I have followed you for thousands of miles. Do you know why I only showed up now?"
"A trap?"
Yang Qi's expression froze, and his perception was instantly fully released. However, he did not detect any fluctuations from the formation, nor did he notice any other practitioners. It did not look like there was a trap at all.
“Because only… until… now… I am sure… to kill you!” The middle-aged man’s face suddenly twisted, as if he was in great pain.
"Something's wrong."
Noticing the change in the middle-aged man, Yang Qi's expression suddenly became solemn.
“Ah~”
The middle-aged man suddenly screamed, his eyes turned blood red in an instant, an evil and violent aura burst out from his body, and his momentum also rose instantly.
"This feeling..."
Feeling the evil and violent aura of the middle-aged man, Yang Qi's pupils shrank, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "Undead Corpse Blood, you have defected to the Corpse God Cult!" (To be continued)
