Chapter 267

"Hahaha..."

"This isn't funny."

"No, child, this is too funny."

Gu Qing and Cheng Shifei emerged from the prison. Gu Qing's face was full of smiles, while Cheng Shifei's face was full of depression.

The Primal Turtle Qi Gong was indeed a top-tier healing technique. With Cheng Shifei's help, the congested meridians within Gu Santong's body had been opened. As for the remaining injuries, Gu Santong could heal them himself by relying on the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.

"Husband, is the matter finished?"

At the prison entrance, Yagyu Piaoxu was guarding the spot. Seeing Gu Qing, she asked immediately.

"It's finished. Gu Santong's internal injuries have already recovered."

Gu Qing said with a smile, "Cheng Shifei is truly a top-tier filial son."

Cheng Shifei had no words to respond, so he simply let his mind wander, pondering martial arts.

Cheng Shifei was also a prodigy in martial arts. In the original plot, the initial Cheng Shifei relied entirely on Gu Santong's internal energy and the moves recorded on his body. However, by the later stages, Cheng Shifei had practiced all the moves on his body, save for one set of left-handed saber techniques; because the positioning was incorrect, Cheng Shifei had not mastered it.

Now that Cheng Shifei had gained a living father, his future achievements in martial arts would likely be even greater.

"Husband."

Yagyu Yuki was on a high building. At this moment, she flew down gracefully and said to Gu Qing, "The Eastern Depot has encountered an attack by Japanese ninjas and is already in chaos. There are fires everywhere now."

Gu Qing flew up to the high building and looked toward the direction of the Eastern Depot. Sure enough, he saw bright red firelight and black smoke rising to the sky.

"Zhu Wushi, who is evil by nature..."

Gu Qing spoke subconsciously.

In *The World's Number One*, the Japanese people who performed most prominently in the Central Plains, besides the Yagyu family, were the fake Wuwan and fake Lixiu. Those two Japanese ninjas, under the instigation of the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, killed Wuwan and Lixiu of the Izumo Kingdom and feigned a marriage alliance, but in reality, they kidnapped the Empress Dowager to set a trap, causing the Emperor to lose trust in Cao Zhengchun and turn instead to value the Dragon-Protecting Shanzhuang.

Therefore, regarding this Japanese ninja attack, Gu Qing immediately judged that the blame lay with the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis.

At the same time...

Gu Qing thought of how Cao Zhengchun had been hammered into severe injury by him. If Zhu Wushi wanted to make a move against Cao Zhengchun, now was the best opportunity.

"Let's go to the Eastern Depot and take a look."

Gu Qing flew toward the Eastern Depot. Upon arriving nearby, he saw weapons everywhere inside the Eastern Depot. Japanese ninjas, Eastern Depot guards, and surprisingly, people from the Dragon-Protecting Shanzhuang were also on one side, assisting the Eastern Depot in extinguishing the fire and even helping the Eastern Depot deal with the Japanese ninjas.

Duan Tianya was using his Illusion Sword, Shangguan Haitang was coordinating the various departments, and as for Guihai Yidao, at this moment, he was actually fighting with the people of the Eastern Depot. Despite Haitang's attempts to persuade him, he insisted on fighting to the death.

"Sucking Power Great Art!"

Gu Qing's hand had a purple hue as he sucked toward Guihai Yidao from a distance. Only a clattering sound was heard, and Guihai Yidao, who was flying down to slash, was forcibly dragged back and arrived at Gu Qing's side.

"Yidao, what is going on?"

Gu Qing asked.

"These things..."

Guihai Yidao's expression was sorrowful and indignant. He untied the bundle on his body, which contained a set of clothes, and Guihai Yidao said in a deep voice, "These are my father's relics, found inside the Eastern Depot. On this set of clothes, there are my father's 【Dominating the World】 and 【Abi Path Three Styles】."

After finding these things inside the Eastern Depot, Guihai Yidao concluded that the Eastern Depot was the murderer who killed his father. Consequently, in a fit of rage, he drew his saber against the people of the Eastern Depot.

"This is another one of Zhu Wushi's conspiracies!"

Gu Qing thought subconsciously in his heart.

*Dominating the World* and *Abi Path Three Styles* were both things that lead to demonic possession. Zhu Wushi throwing these things into the Eastern Depot could be described as killing several birds with one stone.

"Your will cannot control these things."

Gu Qing finished reading *Dominating the World* and *Abi Path Three Styles*, wiped his hand, erased the handwriting of *Dominating the World*, shattered the paper recording the *Abi Path Three Styles*, and said, "If you practice this, you are just walking your father's old path." Guihai Yidao knew his father had been possessed by the saber, and thus remained silent.

Gu Qing looked toward the fire pile and asked, "Cao Zhengchun hasn't come out?"

This great fire was everywhere, shrouding the entire Eastern Depot, but at this time, with Shangguan Haitang coordinating, Cao Zhengchun had not shown his face.

"He and a few leaders are hiding."

Guihai Yidao said as a matter of course.

Hiding?

Gu Qing frowned and said, "You all operate well here; don't let the fire burn any more." After Gu Qing gave this instruction, he immediately flew toward the direction of the Imperial City.

No matter what Zhu Wushi was plotting tonight, as long as Gu Qing kept an eye on the Emperor, he could clear Gu Santong's name and suppress Zhu Wushi.

Inside the Imperial City, the defenses were strict. Gu Qing had just landed here when he felt something was wrong.

A series of several figures appeared, surrounding Gu Qing tightly.

!

"Phantom Divine Art... Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs?"

Gu Qing looked at the thirty-six people surrounding him and guessed their identities.

Wan Sanqian and the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis had trained the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend groups in Mount Qingcheng; they were also Zhu Wushi's private soldiers and death squads. Now that these people were surrounding Gu Qing, their intention was already very clear.

"Zhu Wushi, come out."

Gu Qing shouted toward Zhu Wushi.

Gu Qing's remark about clearing Gu Santong's name had directly forced Zhu Wushi into a dead end. With no other choice, Zhu Wushi chose to have the fish die and the net break, acting tonight.

Zhu Wushi walked out from the crowd. It was already late at night, and under the moonlight, Zhu Wushi appeared a bit more sinister.

"Gu Qing, you walk your sunny path, I cross my single-plank bridge, but why do you have to go against me?"

Zhu Wushi's voice was lingering, echoing endlessly at the gate of this Imperial City.

"I am not going against you."

Gu Qing said calmly, "It's just that I, Gu Qing, am born kind. When I see things that are unpleasant to the eye, I like to manage them; when I see injustices, I like to level them. And you, Zhu Wushi, are born evil. The two of us were naturally going to clash."

Born evil...

Zhu Wushi really didn't expect that he would be evaluated this way by Gu Qing.

"I am just taking back what belongs to me."

Zhu Wushi said in a deep voice.

"What belongs to you?"

Gu Qing tilted his head, looked at Zhu Wushi, and smiled, "Your internal energy was stolen, Suxin was stolen. Tell me, which one belongs to you?"

Lies do not hurt people.

The truth is the sharp blade.

This plain sentence from Gu Qing directly caused Zhu Wushi to break his defense. He raised his hand and gave an order. The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs surrounded Gu Qing tightly. They were in groups of four, capable of dissolving internal energy and attacking in coordination. There were thirty-six people in total, and the Phantom Divine Art they displayed was even stronger than the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi.

Gu Qing let out a long whistle, displayed the Wedding Dress Divine Art, and looked at the surrounding thirty!"

Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms!

Gu Qing struck out fiercely!
