Chapter 367

then they should just disband on the spot, do what they had to do, and go home.

Wu Laoda didn't think this rabble of theirs could be Gu Hanyuan's opponent.

"Gu will give you a chance to make a move."

Gu Hanyuan didn't even give Zhuo Bufan a glance,

still struggling with Wu Xingyun, who was resisting the cheek-pinching.

It was just that her cultivation had returned to that of an eight or nine-year-old,

and Wu Xingyun, who only had the cultivation she had when she first started practicing the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Unique Sovereign Power,"

was no match for Gu Hanyuan.

She was also in the form of a young girl,

with short, weak hands,

and before long, she gave up and let Gu Hanyuan pinch her.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't use force,

and Wu Xingyun didn't even have a red mark pinched onto her.

Gu Hanyuan, seeing Wu Xingyun stop resisting,

felt bored,

smiling and stroking the hair on top of her head,

which made Wu Xingyun startle.

He then said impatiently:

"Don't dawdle. Gu doesn't have the time to waste here with you."

Zhuo Bufan had originally been somewhat vigilant,

but after being provoked by Gu Hanyuan again and again,

he couldn't help but bring out his signature skill,

a half-foot sword glow appearing on his long sword as he stabbed at Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan looked coldly at Zhuo Bufan, who was stabbing at him,

still appearing indifferent.

Until Wu Xingyun couldn't help but want to remind him,

Gu Hanyuan waved his hand casually,

and the Cold Moon Sword Box opened.

With a "clank,"

the Hero Sword left its sheath,

flashing with a slightly eerie silver-white light.

Zhuo Bufan's long sword was left with only the hilt,

and he fell to the ground because he lost his balance.

The Hero Sword, like a tired bird returning to its nest, obediently returned to the "Cold Moon Sword Box."

Zhuo Bufan looked up blankly at Gu Hanyuan, who was looking down at him coldly,

feeling for a moment that all hope was lost.

Wu Xingyun also revealed a shocked expression;

even seeing it again,

she couldn't help but feel amazed by Gu Hanyuan's "Sword Art."

The silver light transformed by the Hero Sword was too fast;

before the afterimage had even disappeared from her eyes,

Zhuo Bufan had already been defeated.

Wu Laoda, seeing that Zhuo Bufan hadn't died,

breathed a sigh of relief,

bowing respectfully:

"Young Master Gu, if you were here for this girl, Cave Master Duan is already dead. You can take her away. We didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive us."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan unmoved,

he bit the bullet and told him about how they were controlled by the Tianshan Child Elder's "Life-Death Talisman,"

kowtowing and begging:

"We have suffered long enough under that old witch, Tianshan Child Elder. Please help us, Young Master Gu."

Wu Xingyun was furious listening to Wu Laoda's words,

and worried that Gu Hanyuan would really take them to kill their way to Jiugong.

Although she was no longer in danger of her life,

there were still many subordinates she had taken in at Jiugong.

Wu Xingyun, cold on the outside but kind on the inside, had always treated her subordinates at Jiugong well,

which was why she had earned their loyalty.

On this point, no one could say anything against Wu Xingyun.

Even in "Tian Long,"

Wu Xingyun hadn't used the "Life-Death Talisman" to control her subordinates at Jiugong,

but the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments of Jiugong had been loyal to Wu Xingyun from beginning to end.

When the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands attacked Jiugong, not a single person surrendered.

Even if Wu Xingyun had asked them to commit suicide, they would have done so without hesitation.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't agree to Wu Laoda's request,

speaking coldly:

"Gu has no interest in the struggle between you and Tianshan Child Elder. You are mostly experts from evil sects; there are few among you who haven't taken innocent lives."

Gu Hanyuan looked around at the crowd,

and those swept by his gaze lowered their heads in guilt.

"Today is the joyous day Gu takes his first disciple, so I can't be bothered to argue with you. If I learn in the future that you are killing innocent people again, that will be the time for you to lose your heads."

Gu Hanyuan finished speaking and ignored the crowd's reaction,

the Hero Sword leaving its sheath again,

floating in mid-air.

Gu Hanyuan picked up Wu Xingyun and jumped lightly onto the Hero Sword,

and while she was still a bit dazed, he took Wu Xingyun and flew into the high sky.

Zhuo Bufan watched Gu Hanyuan leave by "Sword Flight,"

looking at Wu Laoda and the others with an ugly expression,

feeling that these people were simply setting him up.

With so many people, not one of them had warned him.
