Chapter 926 - Answer My Question or Die!
"W-What did you just say? Yuan killed the Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy…?" Wang Xiuying stared at her Master with a look of disbelief on her face.
"There must have been some sort of mistake, Master. Yuan isn't the type to kill another person. He's really kind and gentle. I doubt he would even hurt a fly…"
Sect Master Xiahou looked at Wang Xiuying and frowned, "Are you sure we're talking about the same 'Yuan'? I watched him kill Sun Hao with my own eyes. Of course, it wasn't as though Sun Hao was completely innocent."
"Holy shit… Senior apprentice-sister Wang's friend is responsible for Sect Master Sun's death? I heard of the rumors, but to think that it was actually true…" The disciples there were shocked to learn the truth.
"We can talk about this later! We need to find them right now before it's too late!" Sect Master Xiahou suddenly said.
"Sect Master Xiahou, what's the current situation?" The other Sect Masters finally caught up with her and asked.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sect Master Xiahou asked them with a surprised face.
"We're here for insurance. All of our sects rely on the Spirit Healing Academy for pills and medicine, so we cannot allow it to fall so easily. " Sect Master Li said.
Although the Spirit Healing Academy is the weakest in the alliance in terms of prowess, they're actually the most important. Without the Spirit Healing Academy, the other sects will have to spend much more money on pills and other medicine.
Sect Master Xiahou proceeded to explain the situation to the other Sect Masters.
"What?! You cannot find them?! How is that even possible?"
"I really don't know what's going on." Sect Master Xiahou shook her head.
She turned to look at Wang Xiuying and asked, "Can you tell us exactly what happened before Elder Gu took him away?"
Wang Xiuying nodded and recalled everything from the moment she met Yuan to the moment they left the Alchemy Store, where the Disciplinary Squad showed up.
"What? Disciple Gu is also involved in this mess? If we cannot contact Elder Gu, maybe we can contact Disciple Gu through his Master, Elder Cang." Sect Master Xiahou said.
They left the Disciplinary Squad's headquarters shortly after and went to find Elder Cang, Disciple Gu's Master and Sect Master Xiahou's right-hand man.
Sometime later.
"Sect Master— and other Sect Masters?! Why are all of you here? What happened to the meeting?" Elder Cang was shocked to see them gather inside his room.
"Elder Cang, I need you to contact your disciple right now!" Sect Master Xiahou said to him.
"My disciple? Which one?" Elder Cang raised an eyebrow.
"Disciple Gu!"
"Gu Zhiting? Did he do something? For the Sect Master to be asking for him… If he did anything wrong, I will personally lecture him when he returns—"
"WE DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY TO WAIT! HURRY UP AND CONTACT HIM!" Sect Master Xiahou suddenly roared at him.
Elder Cang nearly had a heart attack. Although this isn't his first time being yelled at by her, it was never this severe.
'Gu Zhiting, what in heavens' name did you do to anger the Sect Master to such an extent?! Even the other Sect Masters are here! Fuck me!' Elder Cang cried inwardly as he retrieved his communication jade slip and called Disciple Gu.
Meanwhile, back at the underground prison, a few moments after Yuan broke out of his restraints, Disciple Gu felt his communication jade slip trembling.
"U-Uncle, it's my Master… He's calling for me for some reason…" Disciple Gu said to him.
"Ignore it! We have more important things to deal with right now!" Elder Gu quickly said.
Yuan smiled and said, "Go ahead and answer it. I'm sure it's very important. Don't worry, I won't do anything. I promise."Content is © by .
"Shut up! Nobody asked for your input!" Disciple Gu shouted.
Yuan shrugged, "Suit yourself."
"Answer me! Where did you get that treasure?! If you don't answer me right now, I will kill you where you stand!" Elder Gu suddenly roared, and he released his cultivation base that was at the first level of Spirit King.
"Are you sure you want to do that here? The ground will collapse on us if you act too crazy." Yuan said in a calm voice.
"I will not repeat myself! Answer my question or die!"
However, instead of answering Elder Gu's question, Yuan retrieved another treasure that belonged to their Gu Family.
"T-That's—!"
Even Disciple Gu recognized the treasure this time.
"BASTARD! HOW DID YOU ACQUIRE THOSE TREASURES?!" Elder Gu was fuming so hard that his entire face was covered in bulging vessels that could pop at any moment.
"Go ask your Patriarch." Yuan smiled.
"THEN DIE FOR ME!"
Elder Gu could no longer endure his anger and released his cultivation base at Yuan.
BOOM!
The entire underground collapsed from the attack, but neither Elder Gu nor his people were harmed, as they were protected by his spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, back at the sect, Elder Cang shook his head, "I have tried contacting Gu Zhiting many times, but he's not answering."
"Fuck!" Sect Master Xiahou cursed again.
It was at this moment everyone in the room suddenly sensed a ripple in the air that was caused by Elder Gu's powerful attack.
"Did anyone feel that just now?! Someone is fighting nearby!"
"Judging by the strength of the ripple, it was caused by a Spirit King! The only Spirit King beside us in this place is Elder Gu!" Sect Master Xiahou said.
"Let's go!"
Everybody there immediately rushed out of the building and followed the direction the ripple was coming from.
They arrived at the collapsed cave a few minutes later, and when they arrived, Elder Gu and the others were still at the scene, as they wanted to make sure that Yuan was dead before they left.
"Elder Gu! What is the meaning of this?!"
"S-Sect Master?! What are you doing here?!" Elder Gu had the same reaction as Elder Cang, but he was more nervous.
But before Sect Master Xiahou could even respond, another person showed up to the scene.
"Elder Brother?!"
"F-Father?!"
It was Patriarch Gu, and he had a terrified look on his face.
