Chapter 318

~8 min read 1,427 words

"If it was Senior Zheng and that so-called Immortal Master fighting in the Embroidered Uniform Guard office, just a two-road realm, Senior Zheng who is roughly at the level of an offering... I'm afraid it's ominous."

In the secret room, Wang Hai made a judgment without any emotion.

He and Xiaosi had no friendship with Zheng Yi, only meeting once on Mount Song. Afterward, they just heard a few words from the news brought back by You Ziyang; to him and Xiaosi, Zheng Yi was no different from those offerings; if she died, it would be painful, but they wouldn't be heartbroken.

Gu Feixuan woke up only after Zheng Yi and Cao Hanyan left, and hadn't seen her with his own eyes, so he just remained silent.

But Gao Anyu was truly anxious.

Without a word, he grabbed the black ruler and turned back to walk toward the water.

Wang Hai stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder.

"Brother Gao, with our Wu Gong, even if we go over, it will be of no help; it's better to plan from a long perspective..."

Bang!

Gao Anyu raised his palm and framed his hand away, running forward on his own, about to leap into the water.

"Sigh... Brother Gu, stop him."

Wang Hai flashed to catch up, raising his hand to hook Gao Anyu's arm.

Gu Feixuan also sighed. Although he basically didn't know anything, he could roughly understand the current situation after listening to Wang Hai. He also knew that with Gao Anyu's Wu Gong, going over now was just looking for death.

He ran quickly in front of Gao Anyu, reaching out to stop him.

"Brother Gao, you cannot—"

Halfway through his words, he paused, and the arm blocking Gao Anyu also couldn't help but lower a bit.

Gao Anyu looked at him, his face already full of tears.

His lips were pursed, biting hard into his mouth, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Tears gushed out like two clear springs, dripping down his chin incessantly, his eyeballs were red, simply like an injured beast.

"Move."

Gao Anyu said.

Gu Feixuan's fingers trembled.

He had only been with Gao Anyu for a day, but Gao Anyu had no city government at all. In Gu Feixuan's eyes, he was almost like a child, his nature was both jumpy and innocent, even meeting the two Garrison Eunuchs during the day was like playing.

But right now... there was no playfulness in Gao Anyu's hoarse voice.

The seriousness and killing intent in his tone were just like when he faced that middle-aged eunuch... Gu Feixuan knew that if he continued to block him, Gao Anyu would really kill him.

So he looked at Wang Hai.

"Brother Wang."

Wang Hai said "Tsk" and let go of his hand.

"Brother Gao, stop for a moment. Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you, but if you just rush over like this, it will be of no use to Senior Zheng, and you might even become a hostage of the enemy."

"I'll give you two useful means, but you also have to promise me two things, how about it?"

Gao Anyu finally stopped his footsteps, turning to look at Wang Hai.

Wang Hai shook his head and reached out to Xiaosi.

"Fourth sister, give him something."

Xiaosi nodded, reached into her bosom, took out a small iron jar, and handed it to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai held the small jar in his hand and said to Gao Anyu in a deep voice.

"Brother Gao, I want to make it clear to you. With your Wu Gong, going there is no different from sending yourself to death. Our lives belong to the Commander, and we won't waste them on the road of sending ourselves to death with you; you must be clear about this."

Gao Anyu nodded silently.

Wang Hai continued.

"But since you are someone the Commander values, we might be colleagues in the future, so I can't ignore you... I'll give you two means."

He reached into his bosom, took out a map, and handed it to Gao Anyu along with the small jar.

"Secret passage map, Miaojiang poisonous insects."

"If you face them head-on, these two things can't deal with that Immortal Master Zheng, but if you need to escape, it might give you a few more chances of survival."

"But there are two things you have to promise me."

Gao Anyu looked at Wang Hai, not saying a word.

"First, no matter what plans you have, at least until you confirm that you are absolutely safe, we will not contact each other."

"Second, the Commander values you very much, so if you can do something, do it, but if you really can't, try to save your life... the Commander will arrive at the latest tomorrow, and everything will be settled by then."

"Don't waste the Commander's cultivation of you, do you understand?"

Wang Hai said, patting the two things into Gao Anyu's hands.

"I have said all I have to say, Brother Gao, take care of yourself."

Gao Anyu stared at the things in his hands for a while, said a hoarse "Thank you," and turned to leap into the water.

Gu Feixuan looked around and sighed.

"Brother Wang..."

Wang Hai waved his hand.

"Everyone is a person who practices Wu Gong, and there is a three-point evil spirit in the heart; it's reasonable to be unable to hold it back, no need to say more, if you want to go, go."

"If Brother Gao has any impulsive actions, you can stop him."

Gu Feixuan nodded and bowed.

"In that case, Brother Wang, farewell."

Having said that, he turned and leaped into the water, chasing after Gao Anyu.

The two reached the shore, looked at the secret passage map Wang Hai gave, found one closest to the Embroidered Uniform Guard office, detoured into a secret passage, and drilled in.

Skipping the middle process, after about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Gao Anyu and Gu Feixuan stopped in the secret passage, listening intently.

The loud noise that had been echoing in their ears was not far away.

The two looked at each other, quietly lifted the cover on their heads, drilled out from the secret passage, and looked around.

This place was an eatery, exactly the one where Cao Hanyan and Zheng Yi ate during the day, opposite the Embroidered Uniform Guard office. It had three floors, and the highest floor could just overlook the scene inside the Embroidered Uniform Guard office.

The two walked up the stairs quietly.

Gu Feixuan spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Gao, there is one thing I haven't figured out yet, about those Heaven-Men, Yingzhou, Immortal Masters, etc.; I don't know much, you listen to see if I'm overthinking."

"According to Battalion Commander Wang, this Immortal Master Zheng killed four Heaven-Men of the two-road realm overnight, and didn't spend much effort; logically speaking, Senior Zheng shouldn't have the power to fight back in front of him."

"But from the time we escaped the Longjiang Post until now, the loud noise in the Embroidered Uniform Guard office has been going on for half an hour... this doesn't match what Battalion Commander Wang said."

Gao Anyu paused his feet.

Gu Feixuan continued.

"Even if it's a test, or that Immortal Master Zheng wants to do something to Senior Zheng, fifty moves should be enough. Fifty moves for a Heaven-Man is just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea; how could they fight until now without stopping?"

"So I feel that there must be a change in this matter."

Gao Anyu nodded silently, and the two stepped onto the third floor.

As soon as they entered, Gu Feixuan looked toward the roof, stopped Gao Anyu, and pointed toward the roof.

Gao Anyu held his breath and listened, but a look of joy appeared on his face, calling out in a suppressed voice.

"Brother Cao! Is it you?"

Knock, knock, knock.

Three rhythmic knocks came from the roof.

Gao Anyu was happy and was about to flip onto the roof, but was pulled by Gu Feixuan. He shook his hand and was about to break free, but was held tightly by Gu Feixuan again.

"Brother Gao, don't make a sound, don't move."

Gu Feixuan leaned into his ear and said in a voice that could barely be heard.

"Listen... the fighting has stopped."

"Over at the Embroidered Uniform Guard office, someone is coming toward us."
