Chapter 461: Heading to Cangwu, the Current State of Prefecture Lord Ding

At this moment, listening to Gu Zheng's voice.

The Xuan Shui Guard's expression tightened, his whole body trembling uncontrollably: "According to news from headquarters, the one who advised you not to act rashly and to go to Cangwu Mountain was none other than State Tutor Yuwen..."

The words fell silent.

Gu Zheng's face darkened further.

His eyes betrayed an unmistakable, lingering fear!

That was State Tutor Yuwen Feng.

A top-tier powerhouse whose cultivation base reached the Ninth Layer of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm!

His seniority and renown were so great that no one dared offend or defy him!

Even though I myself possess Ninth Layer Sun Wheel cultivation.

Yet before such a true magnate, I am merely a slightly larger grasshopper!

Thinking of all this, Gu Zheng glanced at the Xuan Shui Guard with lingering dread, his voice shaky: "Today's matter must not be spoken of."

"If even a whisper of what was just said reaches the State Tutor's ears, you know full well what the consequences will be..."

As he spoke, an intense surge of Sun Wheel cultivation energy erupted!

The terrifying pressure startled the Xuan Shui Guard into a shudder.

He instantly recognized the threat hidden in the other's words.

Immediately, he bowed deeply: "My lord, please rest assured—I understand the gravity of this matter. I shall keep it buried alone in my heart..."

Gu Zheng nodded and continued: "Though I cannot discern the deeper meaning, since it is State Tutor's arrangement, there must be his own reasoning—perhaps the Jiang family of Cangwu truly possesses something extraordinary..."

As he spoke, he rose from his throne.

Upon learning it was Yuwen Feng's instruction, he no longer cared about face or pride.

After all, though the State Tutor outwardly treated others with gentleness,

Those who knew him well understood that defying his will would bring a completely different outcome.

Just as he prepared to set out immediately for Cangwu Mountain,

The Xuan Shui Guard's voice sounded again: "Additionally, headquarters has delivered another piece of news that will greatly interest you..."

Gu Zheng halted abruptly, turning his head slightly: "Oh? Tell me."

The Xuan Shui Guard cleared his throat: "After Sima Nan perished under the Northern Dipper, his Sima clan was wiped out on the very same day..."

"Rumors say that on that day, a white spiritual tiger, seemingly of Sun Wheel realm, appeared at the Sima clan's stronghold."

"It declared that it had been imprisoned by Sima Nan for months, and now that it had escaped, it came solely for revenge against the Sima clan..."

At these words, the previously lifeless White Sheep shuddered violently.

Its eyes filled with delight.

"Big brother... you're truly still alive!"

When its elder brother Hu Li had been severely wounded by Gu Zheng and fled,

It had worried for months, fearing he had died on the run.

But now, the Xuan Shui Guard's news confirmed that its elder brother was indeed still alive.

Yet...

Bai Yang slowly raised his head, cautiously glancing at Gu Zheng.

This man had always wanted to make its elder brother his mount.

Now, after months, with its brother reappearing, this Gu Prefect certainly won't let this opportunity slip.

And as expected,

Gu Zheng's gaze grew brighter, his lips unable to suppress a smile.

"Excellent! Who would have thought this journey would bring such a pleasant surprise!"

"The prey I coveted has appeared in Tiandou Prefecture, imprisoned by Sima Nan—no wonder there was no word of it for months..."

At this moment, he could hardly wait to head to Tiandou Prefecture.

First, go to Cangwu Mountain to fulfill the State Tutor's orders.

Then, follow the trail to find Hu Li!
