Chapter 138: A Mere Protector Dares to Threaten Me? Who Gave You the Courage!
At this moment, Yun Shan felt deep regret in his heart; if he had known early on that his beloved disciple Yun Yun actually had this kind of connection, he would never have forced Yun Yun to marry Gu He, no matter what.
What was Gu He? Merely a Grade 6 Alchemist with the potential of a Seventh-Grade Alchemist, while the person before him was an expert even more powerful than himself! If the Yunlan Sect could obtain the assistance of this person, let alone dominating the Jia Ma Empire, they could even occupy a place in the entire Northwest Continent.
"Since you know you were wrong, why haven't you released her yet?"
Gu Fei's tone was calm yet brooked no doubt.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right now!"
Yun Shan nodded repeatedly and flashed into the great hall where Yun Yun was located.
Previously, his gaze toward Yun Yun had been devoid of emotion, treating her merely as a tool to be utilized, but now he acted as if fawning, helping Yun Yun up from the ground.
"Yun'er, there is a senior outside who wishes to see you; follow your master and come pay your respects."
Yun Shan helped Yun Yun up and took the opportunity to lift the Seal within her body.
Yun Yun's Dou Qi was restored; with a burst of strength, she shook off the hand Yun Shan had on her, not wanting him to touch her, and then quickly flew toward the outside of the great hall.
Yun Shan felt somewhat awkward, but he immediately followed her out.
The two arrived before Gu Fei, and Yun Shan looked at Yun Yun with an apologetic face.
"Yun'er, your master was previously considering the foundation of the Yunlan Sect; I hope you do not blame your master!" Yun Shan pleaded with Yun Yun.
Yun Yun's expression was indifferent, but in her heart, she still cherished the grace of Yun Shan's upbringing and teaching.
She did not make things difficult for Yun Shan anymore, but instead looked toward Gu Fei not far away; the two locked eyes, their expressions complex.
"Teacher!"
Nalan Yanran had also arrived at the Yunlan Sect.
At the previous banquet, Gu Fei had stated he was going to rescue Yun Yun and had directly taken the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to go ahead.
Nalan Yanran could not fly and could only follow on foot; arriving at this moment, she happened to see the scene of Gu Fei threatening Yun Shan.
She had not expected that Gu Fei would resolve such a big trouble in just a sentence or two, and she could not help but admire Gu Fei even more in her heart.
Gu Fei's realm was not something she could fathom; his strength was perhaps far greater than she had imagined.
"Thank you, you have saved me once again!"
Yun Yun said her thanks in a soft tone, though her gaze still looked toward Medusa from time to time.
She remembered that those accompanying Gu Fei before were the girl Qing Lin and a young woman named Xiao Yixian; why now was there only a Qing Lin and the infamous Medusa?
"It's a coincidence... if it weren't for Xiao Yixian and Cai'er needing to return home, I wouldn't have arrived at the Jia Ma Imperial Capital at this time, nor would I have known you were being forced into marriage!" Gu Fei chuckled.
"Where is Miss Xiao Yixian now?" Yun Yun asked.
"She is taking our child to live for a while in the place where I first met her."
"He already has a child?"
Hearing this sentence from Gu Fei, the expression on Yun Yun's face suddenly became somewhat complex.
She had not expected that in the short time they had been apart, he would already have a child.
Then he and Xiao Yixian must be living very happily, right? 【Yun Yun experiences feelings of envy, Emotion Value +100】
"Congratulations!"
A smile appeared on Yun Yun's face as she offered her congratulations, though this smile looked somewhat forced.
"We can talk about anything else later; let me deal with a rat first."
After Gu Fei finished speaking, his tone shifted from calm to icy.
"How much longer are you going to watch? Do you really think no one can discover you?"
As soon as Gu Fei's icy words were spoken, he suddenly stretched out his palm and grabbed toward a void behind the Yunlan Sect.
A mass of black mist appeared out of thin air, but it was firmly restrained by a force of space.
Seeing the black shadow appear, along with the system's Emotion Value notification, Gu Fei confirmed his identity; this person was none other than Protector Wu.
"Who is this person, and how did he appear within my Yunlan Sect?"
"This person is full of sinister energy; one look and you know he is no good sort..."
"Such sinister evil must be a heinous villain; his appearance in my Yunlan Sect must be with ill intent!"
The members of the Yunlan Sect were astonished and condemned Protector Wu one after another, while Yun Shan showed a guilty look. "It's actually someone from the Soul Hall!"
At this moment, inside Xiao Yan's Storage Ring, Yao Lao was extremely shocked, and also carried a hint of wariness.
"Soul Hall? Who are they?"
Xiao Yan asked.
"You don't need to know too much about this faction yet; you only need to know that they are an existence standing at the peak of the Dou Qi Continent. Like this mass of black mist appearing here now, it is only the most ordinary Protector level among them!"
"This is only the most ordinary rank?"
Although Xiao Yan did not know Protector Wu's true strength, seeing him standing in mid-air, he was at least a Dou Zong expert.
"The weakest are Dou Zong..." Xiao Yan's heart was stirred with stormy waves.
"Come here!"
In the sight of everyone, Gu Fei grabbed Protector Wu from across the air and brought him before himself.
"Senior, Senior, spare my life!"
Feeling Gu Fei's terrifying strength, Protector Wu hurriedly begged for mercy in terror.
"Noisy!"
Gu Fei slapped Protector Wu's soul, nearly scattering it.
Protector Wu immediately wilted.
"Yun Shan, the reason you and those Elders have had such great progress in cultivation must be due to the help of this disgusting thing, right? And in exchange, you need to help him create war and slaughter, letting him collect the souls of the dead, isn't that so?"
Gu Fei held Protector Wu's soul and looked at Yun Shan; Yun Shan felt even more guilty.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun looked at Yun Shan in shock, associating it with the recent abnormalities of the Yunlan Sect; could it all be related to this black mist? And the mastermind behind it was actually the teacher she respected the most?
"Master, is it true?"
Yun Yun questioned Yun Shan.
She had not expected that Yun Shan would actually cooperate with such a dark and cruel fellow.
"Yun'er, I do all this for the sake of glorifying the Yunlan Sect!" Seeing that he could not deny it, Yun Shan could only nod and admit it.
"So, you would resort to any means?"
Yun Yun was completely disappointed in Yun Shan.
Her master had changed completely; in order to obtain powerful strength and to make the Yunlan Sect stronger, he had already resorted to any means.
Protector Jiu did not care at all about what Yun Shan was like; what he cared about was his own life.
"Senior, since you are so familiar with the purpose of my visit, you should know that I am a Protector of the Soul Hall. For the sake of the Soul Hall, Senior, please spare me."
"Of course, I will also remember Senior's kindness for the rest of my life and will definitely repay Senior!"
The withered Protector Jiu exposed his own identity.
Although the words were a plea for mercy, they faintly carried a hint of pressure.
This pressure made Gu Fei feel very displeased.
"A mere Protector, and you dare to threaten me?"
"Even if Hun Miesheng came today, he would not be qualified to threaten me!"
Gu Fei frowned and exerted a slight force with his palm, and Protector Jiu's soul was crushed directly.
As for the Hun Miesheng that Gu Fei mentioned, given Protector Jiu's level, he only knew the name but never had the opportunity to see his true face.
Protector Jiu was crushed, but it startled another person hiding in the shadows.
"Hiss!"
Inside Xiao Yan's Storage Ring, Yao Lao's soul trembled, and he hurriedly retracted all his perception; he absolutely could not let Gu Fei discover him.
Gu Fei's methods were too terrifying.
If he were discovered, and the other party happened to be in a bad mood, a casual squeeze would likely result in him meeting the same end as Protector Jiu.
