Chapter 259: Su Xin of Tianshan Tianchi

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

Zhu Wushi whipped his horse impatiently, wishing this horse could travel a thousand miles a day, so he could quickly head to Tianshan. Behind Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang followed closely.

"When I was traveling the *Jianghu* back then, I met Gu Santong. We two cracked the secret code of the Tianchi Monster Hero together and obtained the inheritance of the Tianchi Monster Hero..."

Zhu Wushi told Duan Tianya and Haitang about his experience, which was also Zhu Wushi's version of the "truth." Back then, Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong obtained the secret manual together, and the three of them traveled the *Jianghu* with Su Xin. Gu Santong went crazy, etc. The reason he told Duan Tianya and Haitang about this at this time was that Zhu Wushi wanted to play the emotional card.

He hoped Duan Tianya could soften Gu Qing, and hoped Shangguan Haitang could soften Guihai Yidao.

"Why would Master suddenly head to Tianchi and disturb Miss Su Xin?"

Duan Tianya asked suspiciously after hearing Zhu Wushi finish.

"I don't know!"

Zhu Wushi said coldly: "This is my biggest secret, never told to anyone else!"

After hearing that Gu Qing went to dig up Su Xin, Zhu Wushi had been like a thorn in his back. He didn't know how much Gu Qing knew, but Zhu Wushi knew that Gu Qing was targeting him!

Even when the conspiracy against Gu Qing in the *Jianghu* started, Gu Qing immediately came to Tianshan to dig up Su Xin. This was clearly a revenge.

The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis was worried about Su Xin and rode his horse very fast, even meaning to go without sleep. Duan Tianya had learned ninjutsu in Japan and his will was tough enough, but Haitang couldn't hold on. While riding, she was once mentally dazed, drowsy, and even lay on the horse half-asleep, relying entirely on Duan Tianya to lead the horse so that nothing happened.

This day, Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya, and Haitang arrived in a town on Tianshan. The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis knew that a big battle was imminent, so he didn't dare to overdraw his body. He took Duan Tianya and Haitang to rest well in the town, eat plenty of meat to make up for his body, and at the same time quietly read some of the latest intelligence.

"Gu Qing bought two sets of fox fur here, and a coat."

Haitang flipped through the intelligence and reported to the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis: "Those two sets of fox fur are for the Yagyu sisters to wear, and as for the coat, it's for Yidao to wear. When they were buying clothes, something happened..."

The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis looked over with a straight face.

Haitang saw that the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis had no joy, so she hurriedly reported: "It's that the people in this town knew Gu Qing was a murderous demon and boycotted him, not even selling clothes to Gu Qing. After Gu Qing picked out the clothes, he said, 'I'm not paying, so it doesn't count as selling,' and directly snatched the clothes, and beat up the shopkeeper by the way. After that, Gu Qing ran rampant in this town, and no one dared to provoke him."

Boycotts like this existed in the *World's Number One* world. During Guihai Yidao's demonization period, many debts in the *Jianghu* were counted on the Dragon-Protecting Villa. Cheng Shifei, as the Yellow-rank number one, was boycotted even when entering a restaurant.

"Even more lawless than Gu Santong!"

Zhu Wushi said coldly: "Gu Santong relied on his martial arts to tease *Wu Lin* seniors, eventually constantly making enemies, leading to his madness and committing bloody cases at Taihu Lake. Gu Qing is so unrestrained, I fear the disaster will be even deeper!"

Duan Tianya and Haitang accepted the lesson and silently flipped through the intelligence.

"Here is a matter of Gu Qing performing chivalrous deeds along the way."

Duan Tianya flipped to a piece of intelligence and said: "The intelligence says that Wu Laoshi's wife was forcibly snatched by the county magistrate. When she was crying by the roadside, Gu Qing found out and rescued Wu Laoshi's wife that night, and even stripped the county magistrate of his clothes and exposed the county magistrate's crimes to the world."

This was indeed performing chivalrous deeds.

Zhu Wushi said coldly: "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Early in my *Jianghu* travels, I didn't bring silver once. Several burly men next to me saw it and directly took out silver to pay the bill for me. I was very grateful at the time and said I would definitely repay the kindness. It was only when I found the door to repay the kindness that I learned these burly men were big thieves who had killed countless people in the *Jianghu*."

Duan Tianya and Haitang heard this and knew that the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis had a great prejudice against Gu Qing, so they didn't dare to say more.

Zhu Wushi looked at the intelligence and suddenly asked: "What is this World's Association?"

The person in charge of intelligence here immediately reported: "That is the idle talk between Gu Qing and the Yagyu sisters, saying they want to establish a World's Association on Tianshan, saying they want to dominate the world. But after Gu Qing mentioned it, he never said anything again." Zhu Wushi then let this go, and then looked at the intelligence, watching the injuries of some *Jianghu* people, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yidao's blade technique progress recently is gratifying."

When these words were said, Duan Tianya and Haitang felt closer to the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis.

"Go to sleep early."

The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis finished reading the intelligence and said: "We must go to Tianchi tomorrow."

Duan Tianya and Haitang didn't dare to disobey.

Early the next morning, the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis packed everything up and took Duan Tianya and Haitang toward Tianchi.

The cold wind on Tianshan was biting.

The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis walked all the way and saw many corpses lying horizontally and vertically on Tianshan. Duan Tianya looked at the wounds and said: "Foster Father, this seems to be killed by Yidao's blade technique... and there is another one, this one should be issued by the Yagyu family's *Snow Drifting in the Human World*."

Duan Tianya never had any schemes in front of the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, and the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis trusted Duan Tianya's judgment.

From Duan Tianya's mouth, the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis seemed to know the situation at the time and said: "Let's hurry up the mountain to avoid them repeating the same mistakes."

!

Duan Tianya and Haitang hurriedly agreed.

On the way to Tianchi, there were still many corpses. The Iron-Gall Godly Marquis looked at these wounds and felt that Gu Qing was indeed a person who knew how to teach disciples. Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao had only followed Gu Qing for a short time, and their martial arts had already improved rapidly.

On Tianchi, the cold wind was biting.

Zhu Wushi finally saw a figure, watching the Yagyu sisters wearing fox fur performing blade techniques, fighting with some *Jianghu* people, while Guihai Yidao guarded Tianchi tightly, not letting outsiders in.

"Where is Gu Qing?"

Zhu Wushi suddenly stepped forward, his gaze swept around, and when he spoke, it was like a muffled thunder, instantly suppressing everyone in the field.

At this moment, most of these *Jianghu* people were here, but Gu Qing was nowhere to be seen, which naturally made Zhu Wushi anxious, his gaze constantly looking at Tianchi.

"Of course he went in."

Yagyu Yuki held her sword in front and said to the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis: "The entrance to this Tianchi cave is indeed mysterious, but it can't hide from my husband. He let us guard here for a while, and he will come out soon."

Zhu Wushi was furious when he heard this. The *Sucking Power Great Law* unfolded, his hands bloomed with purple, and he grabbed toward the Yagyu sisters.

"Boom!"

Tianchi suddenly exploded, and an ice coffin flew across the sky, blocking the path of the *Sucking Power Great Law*, and also causing Zhu Wushi to arrive in front of him under this suction.

In this ice coffin lay a woman. When Zhu Wushi saw this, his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Su Xin..."
