Chapter 197: Gu Wu (Thanks to [Boss Di Martial Arts] for the five thousand)

The light rain drifted down, not even dampening Lin Chao's clothes.

Within the Wang Family, fresh blood flowed across the ground.

The Wang Family, possessing only five Seventh-Order Transcendents, could not even deal with a single Ghost like Hong Yin, so how could they possibly cope with Lin Chao and the large group of Ghosts under his command?

Especially since Wang Zhenguo had used a Pseudo-Saint Artifact, only to find he could not break through the encirclement at all, and died on the spot.

In the entire Wang Family, at this moment, there was not a single living person besides Lin Chao.

Lin Chao took a look, his expression indifferent: "Clean it up. Once we have completely left Kyoto, then lift the Imprison here."

The Wang Family was a large family, and there were many treasures and resources inside; these all needed to be dealt with.

"As you command." Hong Yin wore a smile on his face, trailing half a step behind Lin Chao. At this moment, he recalled that dragon roar from just before, and the way the strange butterfly's wings had merged into his master's body.

The speculation in his heart grew even stronger, and he, who was usually cold and detached, felt excited at this moment.

Master might truly be the God Above Gods.

Otherwise, how could a Pseudo-Saint Artifact composed of the strange butterfly's wings merge into Master's body, and how could Master have no issues at all?

Lin Chao glanced at the Wang Family, which had turned into an Absolute Domain, his inner thoughts calm.

Even if the Wang Family were wiped out, it could not resolve any of his heartache for the butterfly bird.

"Go to Jiuzhou, I must find the butterfly bird..." Lin Chao's gaze was deep, his desire to go to Jiuzhou growing even stronger.

The butterfly bird on the Duodao Sea was only a part of the butterfly bird that was a butterfly; it did not even have a soul inside, and could not be communicated with.

He needed to find the soul of the butterfly bird to be able to awaken it.

Otherwise, on the Duodao Sea, that butterfly would continue tirelessly, over and over again, carrying pebbles to fill the sea.

……

Dawn.

Outside the high-speed railway station, Jian Lie wore a warm smile on his face.

"Feng Yan, you brat, you finally came!"

"Uncle Jian, long time no see."

That's right, Lin Chao had taken the high-speed train again and arrived in Kyoto.

Even though, just before, he had been on a killing spree at the Wang Family.

"Sigh, last time was my fault; I shouldn't have let you look for Wang Siquan. He is completely a petty person." Mentioning Wang Siquan, Jian Lie's face carried a trace of anger.

However, thinking of the voice on the phone that day, Jian Lie paused for a moment.

There were clouds of suspicion in his heart.

"Uncle Jian, there is no need to bring up the past, and that wasn't your fault either." Lin Chao's voice was flat.

There was indeed no need to dwell on it anymore.

Wang Siquan was already dead, and even though Wang Sizai was in the Dark Light Academy, he had not escaped the assassination by Ye Mei and Ye Luo.

As for the Wang Family, it was probably about time for them to be exposed to the public eye.

"Let's not talk about these annoying things." Jian Lie did not dwell on it either. "Your Aunt Jian went to perform a mission, so she didn't have time to come pick you up."

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

He also hadn't seen Aunt Jian for a while.

"Uncle Jian, how are you all doing now?" Lin Chao asked casually.

After entering the Supernatural, Jian Lie no longer used doing business as an excuse to fool Lin Chao.

The Ghosts that Lin Chao had contracted were also constantly monitoring the movements of Aunt Jian and the other Clones.

"Things have been quite good lately; life is getting... better and better." Jian Lie wore a heartfelt smile on his face.

"That's good." Lin Chao replied.

Of course, he did not hold a positive outlook for the future of the Clones.

He remembered the old Clone man who had given him the Heaven Severing Artifact.

Once his strength became powerful, he would naturally help the Clones.

Right now, he was still too weak.

Even wiping out a Wang Family could only be done sneakily.

Half an hour later, Lin Chao was brought into a building by Jian Lie.

"Wait a moment, your Aunt Jian will be here in a while."

"Okay."

Lin Chao sat in the lobby, eating some fruit.

Jian Lie accompanied him on the side, chatting about some things.

Today in Jingcheng, there was no difference from usual.

But Lin Chao knew that in a little while, this thousand-year-old capital would definitely be shaken.

After all, although the Wang Family was not one of the Seven Great Families, they were definitely a second-tier family.

For a family possessing a Pseudo-Saint Artifact to be wiped out like this, with no one in Kyoto knowing, would definitely cause a huge uproar!

Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and a handsome man entered the lobby.

Seeing the man, Jian Lie showed a respectful expression on his face: "Young Master Gu!"

The handsome man was named Gu Wu, and his face carried an evil, charming smile.

"Feng Yan, let's get to know each other. My name is Gu Wu, and I am a Clone." Gu Wu wore a gentle smile on his face, with high affinity.

If an Ordinary person saw Gu Wu, they would suddenly feel a sense of goodwill, feeling that this person was reliable.

Lin Chao, however, appeared very calm.

After all, he possessed the talent Gentle as Jade; these little tricks of Gu Wu's counted for nothing at all.

"Hello." Lin Chao and Gu Wu shook hands briefly and parted.

"I have a very good relationship with Jian Fang and Jian Lie, and I have always heard Jian Lie speak of you.

You are even more Excellent than Jian Lie described." Gu Wu's voice carried the pride of someone in a high position.

Beside them, Jian Lie said, "Feng Yan, Young Master Gu is the number one genius among us Clones, and he has been adopted as a foster son by an Upper Councilor.

If you... had not practiced the Ancient Method, I fear your talent would be no less than Young Master Gu's."

Mentioning the Ancient Method, Jian Lie felt somewhat puzzled and also somewhat disappointed.

Feng Yan's talent was very high; if nurtured properly, he would certainly become a peerless powerhouse.

Such a powerhouse, if standing on the side of the Clones, would definitely be a great help to the Clones.

Of course, even if Feng Yan practiced the Ancient Method, Jian Lie still regarded Feng Yan as a junior to be valued.

And Gu Wu, to Jian Lie, was the future hope of the Clones.

Therefore, he was willing to follow Gu Wu and fight for the future of the Clones.

It was a pity that Jian Lie had tried to persuade Jian Fang to prioritize Gu Wu, but Jian Fang had not agreed.

Lin Chao looked at Gu Wu with a calm gaze, though a trace of suspicion was hidden within it.

For some reason, he caught a faint sense of familiarity from Gu Wu.

He immediately had a guess in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Wu continued to speak, his tone carrying a hint of a sigh: "Feng Yan, I heard that what you practice is the Ancient Method, and you are already at the Third Tier."

"Mm."

"Do you know why the Ancient Method cannot break through to the Seventh Tier?" Gu Wu looked at Lin Chao and asked.

"Why?" Lin Chao truly did not know the specific answer to this.

"Because... the god of the Ancient Method path has fallen." Gu Wu's eyes revealed a sharp edge, full of oppressive force.

Lin Chao was silent, frowning as he pondered something.

"Therefore, no matter how high your talent is, even if you are the number one genius of the Qiyuan World, you will never reach the Seventh Tier in this life." Gu Wu looked at Lin Chao with a gentle gaze, yet it revealed a trace of confidence, as if all things in the world were under his control.

"What is your meaning in telling me this?" Lin Chao asked in return.

"Your talent is very high; if you did not choose the Ancient Method, you could even reach the Seventh-Order High-Grade.

It is a pity that you chose the Ancient Method; your life is almost ruined.

I cannot bear to see you decline, so I offer you a hope.

As long as..."

Gu Wu looked at Lin Chao, victory already in his grasp: "As long as you are willing to pledge loyalty to me, I can teach you a method.

Although you still cannot break through the Seventh Tier of the Ancient Method, you can unleash the strength of the Seventh Tier."

Lin Chao smiled: "Sorry, I am not interested."

He had already reached the combat power of the Seventh Tier long ago.

Gu Wu was slightly stunned, then immediately returned to normal: "It seems you do not trust me very much.

What I just said remains valid; whenever you have made up your mind, you can come find me. I can make you and Jian Fang become the top powerhouses in the world."

Lin Chao smiled: "Many thanks."

Naturally, he would not agree.

Gu Wu was not angry either.

However, just at this moment, Gu Wu's eyes suddenly changed, revealing a look of shock.

Beside him, seeing this, Jian Lie hurriedly asked: "Young Master Gu, what is wrong?"

Gu Wu's gaze was deep: "The Wang Family... has been wiped out?"

"What?" Jian Lie's expression changed drastically.

He suddenly remembered that phone call from a few days ago.

In the phone call, that indifferent voice.

"Next, the Wang Family."

The Wang Family, was it really wiped out?
