Chapter 1207
If he became vigilant,
it would be difficult to deal with him.
Wen Fangda deliberated and said:
"That Golden Snake villain committed all kinds of evil; we were forced to do what we did."
This was said ambiguously,
clearly still testing how much Gu Hanyuan knew.
Gu Hanyuan, however, had no intention of accompanying him in slow testing,
mocking:
"So, you are not interested in the Jianwen Emperor's treasure?"
The Five Elders of the Wen family looked at each other.
They did not expect Gu Hanyuan to even know about the Jianwen Emperor's treasure.
The impatient Wen Fangyi could not hold back,
asking urgently:
"What do you mean, Young Master Gu?"
Gu Hanyuan said faintly:
"It's not that I can't understand your desire for the treasure. It's not that I look down on you, but are you sure you can keep it? Or do you think you can retrieve such a massive amount of treasure without anyone knowing?"
Gu Hanyuan's hint was already so obvious.
Wen Fangda immediately understood and asked:
"Are you suggesting we cooperate, Young Master Gu?"
Gu Hanyuan looked at Wen Fangda with flickering eyes.
These Five Elders of the Wen family were ruthless enough,
but their minds were not very sharp;
only Wen Fangda was worth looking at.
Gu Hanyuan feigned a look of reminiscence,
saying meaningfully:
"After all, you have offered satisfactory sincerity; I am not the type to eat and run without acknowledging it."
Wen Fangda pondered for a moment with flickering eyes,
then revealed a look of joy:
"It is naturally our honor if you are willing to cooperate, Young Master Gu."
He then showed a troubled expression:
"But we can't deal with that Yuan Chengzhi."
His meaning was naturally to hope that Gu Hanyuan would take action to capture Yuan Chengzhi.
However, Gu Hanyuan would not give them a chance to get something for nothing,
and besides, he had originally intended for them to attract attention.
Gu Hanyuan said faintly:
"The Five Poison Sect."
The Five Poison Sect Gu Hanyuan spoke of naturally did not refer to Lan Fenghuang and the others.
The original Five Poison Sect was jointly governed by the Lan and He clans.
The Five Poison Sect back then happened to be under the leadership of the He clan.
He Hongyao was the sister of the sect leader and held a prestigious position.
As a result, she was deceived by Xia Xueyi and helped him steal the three Golden Snake treasures,
causing huge losses to the Five Poison Sect.
Afterward, not only did He Hongyao herself receive cruel punishment,
but the sect leader also resigned in disgrace and died of depression not long after.
The He clan members were suppressed from then on.
Later, the aging He Tieshou took the clan members and moved to Sanjiang to start a new sect.
From then on, the Five Poison Sect split into northern and southern factions.
What Gu Hanyuan spoke of was precisely He Tieshou's Northern Five Poison Sect.
Although He Tieshou was a woman and not very old,
her methods were astonishing.
In just a few years, she had developed and strengthened the Northern Five Poison Sect,
making it a premier force in Sanjiang.
She could be considered a woman of considerable ability.
Gu Hanyuan was very interested in her, even more than in Wen Qingqing.
Seeking her out directly would inevitably make her vigilant, and trying to conquer her later would be very troublesome.
Although the plot timeline was chaotic,
the person who originally saved the women of the Zhuang family should have been He Tieshou.
Gu Hanyuan had originally wanted to take the opportunity to get to know her,
but there were accidents.
He Tieshou did not appear, but he encountered Bing Xue'er instead.
Gu Hanyuan's plan was disrupted, so he decided to take the initiative to draw He Tieshou out.
The Five Elders of the Wen family happened to bump into him now; wouldn't it be a pity not to use them as tools?
Seeing that Gu Hanyuan did not directly agree to deal with Yuan Chengzhi, Wen Fangda felt somewhat disappointed,
but he quickly reacted.
It was indeed possible to utilize the Five Poison Sect.
The Five Poison Sect was naturally the one most familiar with the Jin Shejian and the "Jin Shejian Technique."
Dealing with Yuan Chengzhi would be twice the result with half the effort.
As long as the news about Yuan Chengzhi was spread,
He Tieshou would inevitably bring people to demand the three Golden Snake treasures.
They could hide behind the scenes and be the fisherman who benefits.
Wen Fangda's eyes grew brighter,
and he exclaimed in admiration:
"Brilliant, Young Master Gu."
Gu Hanyuan said nonchalantly:
"I'll leave the matter of contacting the Five Poison Sect to you."
Wen Fangda nodded:
"There is no time to lose; we will discuss it briefly and then go visit the Five Poison Sect."
Hearing this, Gu Hanyuan glanced at him coldly.
The correct approach would actually be to directly spread the news that Yuan Chengzhi possessed the three Golden Snake treasures,
while they hid behind the scenes.
Now that they said they were going to visit the Five Poison Sect, it was clear that Wen Fangda had other ideas,
and he likely wanted to use the Five Poison Sect's poison to deal with him.
Unfortunately, he was immune to all poisons;
what could they do even if they found the Five Poison Sect?
Gu Hanyuan feigned not seeing through Wen Fangda's thoughts,
smiling faintly:
"That would be best. Don't let Yuan Chengzhi run too far, otherwise, it won't be easy to catch up."
Wen Fangda said confidently:
"Rest assured, Young Master Gu, we have had people watching Yuan Chengzhi all along."
Gu Hanyuan nodded with satisfaction and took his leave.
