Chapter 426: 426 – GuBei Comes Out
Chapter 426: – GuBei Comes Out
What a joke, they had seen the power of that thing with their own eyes. It could easily create cracks in the array with a single move before, if it struck again, the array would surely be shattered!
A treasure capable of producing such terrifying power, they certainly lacked the confidence to confront it.
Even uniting everyone here might not suffice.
Hence, none of the Gu Clan masters dared to stand against Jiang Xiaobai, they all wanted to retreat first to observe the situation. As long as they could delay time, there was no need to use their lives as bargaining chips.
Among them, Gu Heng was the fastest. It seemed as if he had been preparing to run away from the very beginning.
Others hadn’t even scattered yet, but Gu Heng was already far away.
But at this critical moment, no one was interested in dwelling on such details.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the Pagoda didn’t strike the array when it was thrown out, but it swirled in the air, and returned to Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
Before the shocked Gu Clan masters could react, Ao Cheng’s Zhuang Huanling suddenly vanished into thin air. Immediately after, a charm appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand and he grinned mischievously.
“A bunch of idiots.”
With a whoosh, Jiang Xiaobai also disappeared into thin air.
The members of the Gu Clan were left full of question marks. Isn’t Jiang Xiaobai supposed to break the array and fight them to the death?
This was not how the plot was supposed to develop!
Especially the last words Jiang Xiaobai said before he disappeared, everyone heard it clearly as all their attention was on him.
“Damn it, damn it!”
“This bastard actually dared to play me, why did he dare, why does he possess such a mysterious method? Despite being trapped by the clan’s great array, how does he manage to run away?”
Gu Heng quickly realized that it had been Jiang Xiaobai’s scheme all along, purposely making them worry about the array breaking and getting attacked by the Pagoda, thus making them all leave the vicinity of the array.
By the time he was leaving, the Gu Clan’s masters had no time to react!
Thinking about this, Gu Heng was grinding his teeth in anger, his fists clenched, wishing he could capture Jiang Xiaobai and flay him alive right now.
Just as Gu Heng was about to chase after in anger, a hand grabbed his shoulder.
It was another Gu Clan master, who was not from Gu Heng’s faction, but from GuBei’s.
“Gu Heng, won’t you explain?” The master narrowed his eyes, radiating a dangerous aura, his power level also reached the late stage of unification.
Gu Heng gave a cold stare, shaking off his hand: “Explain what? Are you guys planning an internal conflict? Although you belong to GuBei’s faction, right now I’m the one who makes the decisions!”
Gu Heng was somewhat frantic, his words becoming increasingly hysterical towards the end.
He knew why these people were staring at him like this, but he was unwilling to hand over the power he held, and he definitely didn’t want to receive that so-called punishment!
He did make that military order, but isn’t there still a chance to capture Jiang Xiaobai?
“Humph, Gu Heng, setting aside your own escape earlier, just now you ran even faster than a rabbit, didn’t you?”
“Moreover, this time you let the Gu Clan bring all the materials and array discs of the array here, assuring that it would be able to trap Jiang Xiaobai and catch him alive, but now, he is nowhere to be found. In addition, we also lost many masters, won’t you give an explanation?”
“You!”
Gu Heng tried to argue, but was surrounded by several masters in the late stage of Fusion. He clenched his fist several times, wanting to take action, but eventually backed down.
Returning to accept the Gu Clan’s punishment still left him with a way to survive, but if he acted now, he would be violating the rules of the Gu Clan and there would be certain death!
These masters were more than capable of killing him on the spot, no need to go through such trouble.
“Humph, all of you get out of my way, I can go back by myself!”
“I hope so.”
A master from GuBei’s faction sneered, signaled two other people with his eyes, and the two immediately followed Gu Heng closely.
Even though Gu Heng was greatly displeased and furious, he still bit his lip and said nothing, swallowing all his resentment.
“Jiang Xiaobai, it was all because of you, you’re the reason why I missed my chance to rise to power, just you wait, I will make you pay!” Gu Heng raged silently in his heart.
Afterwards, he was escorted by two Gu Clan masters in the direction of the Gu Clan.
On the other side among the Gu Clan, Gu Jingguo was in good spirits, looking at a young man in front of him.
“Beier, after breaking through this time, you have finally reached the peak of the mid-term of Dividing the gods. How does it feel to break through so many realms in succession?” Gu Jingguo asked cheerfully, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
GuBei replied humbly and calmly: “Master, I feel very good. Although I am only at the mid-term of Dividing the gods, I can definitely handle opponents in the Fusion stage!”
“The clan has imported a spirit from the Hai Xianzong this time at a great cost, I am truly grateful. Rest assured, Master, I, Gu Bei, will certainly lead the Gu Clan to a higher level!”
Gu Jingguo was extremely satisfied, nodding repeatedly: “Good, good, good!”
After saying ‘good’ three times, Gu Jingguo was about to continue when someone rushed in hurriedly.
Seeing GuBei there, the person hesitated somewhat, wanting to say something but unwilling to do so when they looked at Gu Jingguo.
Gujing country waved his hand casually: “What is it? He is the saint son, there is nothing he can’t hear.”
“Yes!”
The attendant bowed respectfully, and then reported: “Master, Jiang Xiaobai has escaped again, Gu Heng has failed this time and is on his way back to accept punishment.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingguo’s joyful expression instantly turned gloomy, his countenance shrouded in a dark cloud, and his body filled with a cold murderous aura.
“Well done Jiang Xiaobai, very capable, after such a long time, so many Gu Clan masters still can’t capture him, are these guys all blind?”
Gu Jingguo grumbled, his chest heaving in anger, his hands clutching the armrest tightly, veins popping.
Meanwhile, hearing the name ‘Jiang Xiaobai’, GuBei chuckled: “That kid is quite interesting. Perfect, now that I have emerged from my seclusion, let me meet him and see exactly how capable he is!”
“Don’t rush.”
Gu Jingguo spoke with a smile: “Although Jiang Xiaobai has some tricks, he is getting further and further away from the Central State now and completely heading in the wrong direction. It’s only a matter of time before we catch him.”
“Beier, what’s most important for you now is to let the Elder Li of the War God Temple see you. You absolutely must seize this opportunity!”
GuBei took a deep breath and nodded: “I understand, Master, don’t worry, I won’t disappoint everyone.”
“Good boy, let’s go, I will take you to see King Li now.”
In Northern State, a giant teleportation array suddenly started flickering. The guard who was guarding the array was dozing off, was startled by the sudden changes, and quickly stood up straight.
Taking a glimpse at the teleportation array, the man was stunned on the spot.
Within the teleportation array, there was a woman of breathtaking beauty with an icy demeanor!
