Chapter 226: He Family's Hidden Treasure Land

"We did not know that the senior's esteemed presence had graced us; please forgive us, senior!"

The overbearing might, although not enough to make the three He Family elders unable to breathe,

but it still made them feel immense pressure!

The three He Family elders did not know what kind of divine being the other party was.

But judging from the current situation, at least they have no goodwill toward our side!

They could only try to maintain as much respect for the Martial Venerable as possible, hoping to gain some favor from the other side.

Given the huge gap between Martial Ancestor and Martial Venerable.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they would certainly not be a match for the other side.

However, in the face of their respectful salute, only a cold shout came from the flying vessel,

"Those who hunted my Gu Family members, today is your day of death!"

The three He Family elders' faces instantly turned to shock, filled with extreme panic.

This Martial Venerable…… is a member of the Gu Family?

But how could that be possible?

If the Gu Family had a Martial Venerable, why would they need to humble themselves in this small city of Wu Shan Cheng?

Even if they came to a great city like Han Shan Cheng, they could still have a place there!

But the flying swords that turned back in the air and stabbed at them three told them the fact was exactly so!

The three He Family Martial Ancestor elders resisted with all their might, but each could only withstand two moves under the flying swords.

Soon, a Martial Ancestor descended from the flying vessel and placed the corpses of the three He Family elders into a storage ring.

Gu Family's Sixth Elder, seeing the injuries on Di Ying and Dai Jing, could not help but be moved.

"Many thanks to you two for risking your lives to secure an escape opportunity for the members of my Gu Family Chamber of Commerce; I hereby thank you both on behalf of all the Gu Family for your great kindness."

The sound that had come from the flying vessel earlier had already let Di Ying know that this was the Gu Family's flying vessel.

Di Ying, having let go of the last bit of worry, suddenly tilted her neck and fainted.

Dai Jing, overwrought with worry, immediately changed color and cried out.

"Di Ying!"

On the contrary, the Gu Family elder was relatively composed, quickly stepped forward to feel Di Ying's breath, and then let out a sigh of relief,

"Please rest assured, friend; he is merely unconscious and currently has no threat to his life."

Dai Jing, too, had experienced life and death many times; she was merely overly worried just now.

After confirming Di Ying was safe, she also let her worries go.

"We are heading to Han Shan Cheng; why don't you two rest aboard my Gu Family's flying vessel for a while?"

Gu Family's Sixth Elder spoke earnestly,

"Please rest assured, friend; our Gu Family has an elder skilled in medical arts accompanying us, who will surely do his utmost to treat you two."

Dai Jing pondered for a moment.

If they continued to stay in this desolate wilderness, should they encounter someone with ill intentions,

with her remaining strength, it would likely be difficult to protect Di Ying's safety!

Although she did not understand why Di Ying would risk her life to help the Gu Family members escape the He Family's pursuit,

but by now, besides accepting the Gu Family's help, there is no other recourse.

Dai Jing, carrying Di Ying, stepped onto the Gu Family's flying vessel together.

While the Gu Family elder treated their wounds, the flying vessel continued onward toward Han Shan Cheng.

……

Han Shan Cheng, He Manor.

Gu Han did not idle after killing those black-clad men.

When the fire had dwindled, he went together with Gu Chen and the members of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group into the gates of He Manor.

This time, no one lurking in the shadows dared to step forward.

Gu Han had previously suppressed and killed the guards and Martial Ancestors of other great families, thoroughly shocking all factions.

Anyway, Gu Han is not a native of Han Shan Cheng.

No matter how the conflict between him and the He Family today ends,

Gu Han also could not possibly stay in Han Shan Cheng.

They have no need to provoke Gu Han at this moment!

"There really is an underground passage inside!"

Although Gu Han had only recently become the main line of the Gu Family,

but he naturally knows that such a great family, in order to preserve its fire seed, would surely have carefully prepared a retreat!

He is not an expert in this, but Little Wolf, as the Water Moon Wolf King, has a sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary wolf demon beasts!

He easily found the tunnel where the He Family's direct line hid to escape the sea of fire.

The tunnel is fairly spacious, able to accommodate three people walking side by side.

Moreover, it contains numerous traps that will be triggered by the slightest carelessness.

It's a pity these traps might only pose a threat to Martial Ancestors.

But for Gu Han, whose fleshly body is even superior to that of a Martial Venerable, they are nothing but child's play!

Some hidden arrows, even if he resisted them with his fleshly body, would cause him no harm!

And those of the He Family's main line hiding in the tunnel, before Gu Han, had utterly no power to resist.

With the help of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, Gu Han easily slaughtered all of the Gu Family's main line and direct descendants hiding here!

Watching Gu Han, who faced hundreds of people bitterly begging for mercy yet remained unmoved.

Even the Iron Blood Mercenary Group's mercenaries, who had undergone countless life-and-death battles, couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts.

"Although saying 'cut the grass and remove the roots' is simple, actually getting past this inner hurdle is far harder than imagined!"

Xiao Qing also sighed with feeling.

Everyone understands the principle of exterminating completely.

Mercy toward the enemy is cruelty toward oneself, which is also a well-known principle.

But everything is easy to say, hard to do.

At this moment Gu Han appears cold-blooded, but he knows this is the correct course of action!

And after Gu Han had just killed hundreds of the He Family members and was about to leave, he heard Little Wolf let out an urgent howl.

Gu Han's eyes immediately shifted.

There's something good here!

He immediately followed Little Wolf and looked toward a wall in the distance.

This wall looks no different from the other walls in the tunnel.

But on the ground, there is hardly any dust!

These tunnels were used by the He Family to preserve their lineage, to shelter the main branch in times of danger.

But precisely for that reason, they are not normally opened for use.

Like the other rock walls around the tunnels, there is usually some dust buildup.

Only this wall is extremely clean, almost free of dust!

This subtle difference, they would hardly notice.

If it weren't for Little Wolf being here, Gu Han would certainly have missed it.

Seeing Gu Han standing before that wall, Gu Chen quickly walked over and asked doubtfully,

"Is there something inside?"

Gu Han nodded,

"The He Family's treasury is likely right here."

Upon hearing this, the Iron Blood Mercenary Group members nearby, who were still sighing, all gasped in cold air.

"The treasury of the He Family, a major clan of Han Shan Cheng?!"

"This is a major clan of thousands, whose accumulated treasures!"

"Enough to support the cultivation expenses of a clan of thousands!"

If our Iron Blood Mercenary Group could obtain such a treasury, we might even become the foremost mercenary group in Sword South Prefecture, right?

But they also know in their hearts.

Such precious things must belong to Gu Han.

They and Gu Han have already gained too much along the way; they shouldn't be too greedy.

But faced with resources that could let them soar to great heights.

They still couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

Looking at that wall still unopened, they gulped with greedy gazes.
