Chapter 9: An Innocent Appearance
When Song Guangyuan and his companions angrily found the Gu family, he declared that he would make the Gu family know their place.
That brat named Gu Qingheng actually dared to **knock him out!
And all of them fell for it, it was truly humiliating!
They were the most powerful black pieces under their superior, yet they were ambushed by a mere child. If it were enemies, they would have lost their lives by now!
Therefore, Song Guangyuan and the others had already taken the poison given by the poison master to ensure they wouldn’t be **taken down again!
However, when they arrived at the Gu family’s doorstep, they found that Gu Mengyao was already waiting for them.
At this moment, Gu Mengyao was dressed in casual men’s clothing with her hair tied up high, so that when she swung her spear to kill, these men in black wouldn’t find any openings.
Although, within the range of the long spear, these people couldn’t attack even if they wanted to.
“You are Gu Mengyao!”
“Indeed. You wanted to kill my brother earlier, and before I could find you, you’ve delivered yourselves right to my doorstep. You’ve saved me a lot of trouble.”
“Hmph, a mere young woman being so arrogant. We’ll see how we finish you off later! The so-called Gu family is nothing, and it’s only because Li Hong is so worried that they’d send a woman to fight.”
Upon seeing Gu Mengyao wielding a red-tasseled spear, Song Guangyuan and the others immediately recognized her as Gu Mengyao. Behind Gu Mengyao, two men sat on a bench, watching the scene unfold as if it were a show. This made Song Guangyuan snort contemptuously, thinking to himself, with just Gu Mengyao, could she possibly stop them?
It was laughable!
No matter how powerful Gu Mengyao was, she couldn’t fight against so many opponents alone. She would have no power to resist these people!
Even if the rumors were exaggerated, they were still false.
“If you don’t believe me, then come at me.”
“Mengyao, go for it! Finish them off!”
“Sister is the best!”
After hearing Song Guangyuan’s words, Gu Mengyao sneered, pointing her long spear forward, daring Song Guangyuan and the others to attack and see who would die!
As Gu Mengyao spoke with such imposing words, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng, who were sitting behind her, immediately applauded. Their words of praise made Song Guangyuan extremely angry, thinking that the Gu family was on the brink of death yet still so arrogant, it was truly seeking death!
Thinking of this, Song Guangyuan no longer hesitated. He directly drew his long saber from his waist and charged towards Gu Mengyao.
“Brother-in-law, how long do you think these people can last?”
“A minute, perhaps!”
“That long!”
“Go away, go away. Your sister is still within the realm of human capabilities. If these people were to be dealt with in mere seconds, it would be too unbelievable.”
“But, my sister has already taken down all those people.”
“…”
While Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were talking, Song Guangyuan and his companions had already been killed or injured by Gu Mengyao. When Song Guangyuan fell to the ground with a wound in his abdomen, he discovered with horror… that everyone else had already lost their lives and gone to the underworld to meet Yama.
Only he was still alive.
Moreover, Gu Mengyao had done it on purpose!
At this moment, Song Guangyuan regretted it just like Xi Ting, who had died before him. He wondered why he hadn’t believed Li Hong’s words and had come to the Gu family to seek death!
The most powerful person in the Gu family wasn’t Gu Yu, but this terrifying woman, Gu Mengyao!
“You can’t kill me!”
“Why not? You came to kill us, so it’s only polite to let you taste death.”
“I am the most capable subordinate of the Master. If you kill me, the Master will make sure you have no burial place!”
When Song Guangyuan saw Gu Mengyao approaching him with her spear, he seemed to see a ghostly apparition from the underworld and immediately shouted loudly.
It was like encountering a fierce beast, leaving him no way to fight back, and he could only try to escape by shouting powerlessly.
However, Gu Mengyao was not affected in any way.
She maintained her steady pace, and as she approached Song Guangyuan, the tip of her spear dripped with blood, turning the path she walked into a blood trail.
At this moment, Gu Mengyao was like the most terrifying Shura demon.
As Song Guangyuan retreated with his injured body, he became even more terrified in his heart. Finally, he could only bring up the Witch Priest, hoping to make Gu Mengyao stop.
Although he was heavily injured, it didn’t mean he would die. But if Gu Mengyao attacked, he would definitely die!
“A’yu, should we kill this person?”
“Kill him! Looking at him, he probably won’t say anything anyway. Why keep him around…”
“No, no, no, I’ll talk! As long as you don’t kill me!”
Upon hearing Song Guangyuan mention the Witch Priest, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. She then turned to ask Gu Yu for his opinion.
When Gu Yu said to kill him directly, Song Guangyuan’s heart turned ice-cold. At this moment, he didn’t care about anything else, only wanting to survive!
Now, under the threat of death brought by Gu Mengyao, Song Guangyuan was on the verge of collapse.
And this was exactly the effect Gu Yu wanted. That’s why he didn’t directly sprinkle medicinal powder this time. While letting his wife vent her anger, he could also scare these people to death, so that they would not hide anything later and would reveal all the information they knew.
“Since you say so, then answer my questions now… If you answer correctly, I might consider letting you live.”
“Ask away!”
When Gu Yu stood up from the bench, he walked to Gu Mengyao’s side. As he spoke to Song Guangyuan, Gu Yu had a gentle smile on his face, appearing harmless, which was much better than the cold Gu Mengyao.
Song Guangyuan also knew Gu Yu’s identity. Seeing that Gu Mengyao no longer intended to kill him, he naturally wouldn’t refuse this time, only nodding repeatedly, saying that he would tell them!
“What were you looking for on the mountain?”
“It was the Soul-Suppressing Bell.”
“The Soul-Suppressing Bell?”
“According to historical records, it is a very magical bell. When it is shaken, it emits a very peculiar sound… Except for the person holding the bell, everyone else will fall into a hallucination, and they will only return to normal when the bell stops ringing.”
After hearing Song Guangyuan’s words, Gu Yu also knew what these men in black were looking for.
Judging by his words, it was indeed a very powerful treasure!
No wonder they didn’t give up even if it consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources, and even if it took some time. It turned out to be such a powerful item.
“One more question, is the Witch Priest male or female, and how old are they this year?”
“Great Wizard is male…”
“So he’s a man! You’ve made me happy for nothing! This is truly enrages me, so please go and die!”
As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, Gu Mengyao’s spear followed, piercing Song Guangyuan’s heart completely. His eyes widened unconsciously, not understanding what he had said wrong?
Why did he still have to die in the end!
No, he was not reconciled!
He still had many things to do and absolutely could not die in this small village!
As Song Guangyuan was thinking this, his life force was rapidly draining away. Within a few seconds, he bid farewell to this world completely.
