Chapter 1800 The Gu Family in Trouble
The Corpse King passed under her feet several times without noticing that someone was in the tree.
How stupid!
Xu Lian felt smug.
In this way, she alone can delay the Corpse King for a long time.
When the Corpse King passed by Xu Lian for the seventh time, Xu Lian uncontrollably began to exude ghostly energy.
"No!!" Xu Lian was shocked and hurriedly used all her power to suppress the ghostly energy.
But the Corpse King still discovered them, exclaiming, "They were hiding here!"
He angrily charged at Xu Lian.
As Xu Lian fled for her life, she cursed angrily, "Ruan Yu! I'm not finished with you!!"
It was definitely Ruan Yu's doing! Does she really hate seeing me have it easy?
"It's not like you'll be done with me if I don't do this," Ruan Yu scoffed.
Xu Lian: "..."
That makes sense.
Even if Ruan Yu doesn't make things difficult for her, she'll definitely make Ruan Yu pay the price the day she turns the tables!
And so, Xu Lian finally managed to shake off the Corpse King and found a new place to hide, just as she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Yu has revealed her location again.
"Aaaaaah!! You heartless bastard! Let me out if you dare! Let's fight to the death!" Xu Lian screamed madly.
She's being driven crazy by this!
I even think that instead of running away like this, it would be better to face the Corpse King head-on!
Facing the Corpse King directly did not evoke any fear or trepidation.
But after careful consideration, Xu Lian decided to give up. She and the Corpse King were simply not on the same level; going out would only lead to certain death.
Ruan Yu teased Xu Lian a few more times, but finally got bored and let her have her way.
What if we really push Xu Lian to the brink and end up destroying her with her?
Ruan Yu is not afraid of death, but if the Corpse King escapes, the people of the Ancient Road Continent will be in big trouble!
She wasn't sure how long these illusions and barriers could trap the Corpse King.
Initially, Ruan Yu did intend to improve her strength before taking down the Corpse King.
However, after teasing Xu Lian several times, she clearly noticed that the Corpse King's intelligence was slowly increasing.
He knew Xu Lian would hide, so wherever he went, destruction followed. In this way, Xu Lian had nowhere to hide.
I'm afraid we can't keep him trapped for long.
Ruan Yu decided to gather the powerful human beings to jointly defeat the Corpse King!
But she was of low status and her voice carried little weight; it would be difficult for her to gather the powerful figures of the Ancient Path Continent!
Oh, right! Look for Gu Tian! (Gu Xing's older brother)
The Gu family should have a certain degree of influence in the Ancient Road Continent.
Half a month later.
After many twists and turns, Ruan Yu finally arrived at the Gu family.
"Who are you?" The guard at the door scrutinized Ruan Yu from head to toe.
They didn't put her in just because she was good-looking and had an extraordinary temperament.
"I've come to see Gu Tian," Ruan Yu said, getting straight to the point.
As soon as the words were spoken, the guards' expressions turned strange. "Take him down!"
They all set up their weapons and trapped Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu played along and was brought into the mansion. Why did the guards act as if facing a formidable enemy at the mere mention of Gu Tian's name? Had Gu Tian committed some heinous crime?
In any case, being able to enter the mansion is a good thing.
"Who is this?" An elderly man with a sage-like demeanor walked up from ahead.
The guards immediately stopped and reported, "Sixth Elder, this woman claims to be looking for that traitor Gu Tian! She must be Gu Tian's accomplice! Capturing her might lure Gu Tian out."
The Sixth Elder's expression changed slightly. "Give the person to me, you can go back."
"Yes." The guards did as instructed.
Although the weapon was no longer there to shield her, the Sixth Elder's oppressive aura still descended upon Ruan Yu.
The intention was to render her unable to move.
But... the Sixth Elder's cultivation level is only at the eighth level of the God rank, how could he possibly suppress Ruan Yu?
"What happened to the Gu family? Why is Gu Tian being called a traitor in your eyes?"
"?" The Sixth Elder raised an eyebrow.
He thought to himself, "Wasn't this woman here to see Gu Tian? How come she doesn't even know what happened to the Gu family?"
Moreover... if such a stunningly beautiful woman were to be on good terms with Gu Tian, he couldn't possibly have no recollection of her.
"Who are you?" The Sixth Elder became more vigilant when he saw that Ruan Yu could withstand his pressure as if nothing had happened.
"My name is Ruan Yu, and I come from the lower realm continent."
"You're Ruan Yu?" The Sixth Elder's eyebrows shot up, his anger reaching its peak: "Xing'er was crippled by you!"
Having said that, he mobilized his divine power, intending to fight Ruan Yu to the death.
Ruan Yu was stunned: "Gu Xing is crippled?"
Isn't he on the Beast Taming Continent?
According to the Sixth Elder, Gu Xing has returned? And he's crippled?
Having become Gu Xing's apprentice in name only, she had to go and check on her injured disciple.
"Where is he now? Take me to see him."
"Stop pretending! Xing'er is now all thanks to you!" The Sixth Elder's attack failed to land on Ruan Yu.
"Stop!" The other elders who heard the commotion rushed over.
The eldest elder spoke in a deep voice: "You are no match for this woman."
He could sense that the aura emanating from Ruan Yu far surpassed that of a peak god-level being.
Even he himself wasn't confident he could defeat her.
"Elder." Upon seeing the Elder, the Sixth Elder, though he was not conscious, obediently stopped: "She is Ruan Yu."
After the elders landed, they surrounded Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu: "Where is Gu Xing? I need to see him."
"Aren't you going to let Xing'er go?!" The Sixth Elder's eyes blazed with fury.
“I don’t know why you think I’m the murderer, but I can swear to God that I did not hurt Gu Xing.”
In the eyes of the Sixth Elder, Ruan Yu's explanation was nothing but sophistry!
"Alright, then swear an oath!"
Ruan Yu then raised three fingers and made a vow to Heaven.
As the light of Heaven shone upon Ruan Yu's body, nothing happened.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
"Now can you tell me what happened?"
"..." The Sixth Elder calmed down and looked at the First Elder and the other elders beside him.
“We still can’t fully trust you. Let’s move with me first.” After careful consideration, the Grand Elder led Ruan Yu into the Elders’ Hall.
The elders took their seats one by one.
Ruan Yu also found an empty spot and planned to sit down.
The Third Elder glared at him coldly: "Did I ask you to sit down! You have absolutely no manners!"
Judging from Ruan Yu's age, she was only in her early twenties, not even a fraction of his age, so he naturally put on the airs of an elder.
Ruan Yu ignored him completely and plopped down in a seat: "I didn't ask you to sit, but you sat down anyway?"
The Third Elder immediately became furious: "You! I am the Third Elder of the Gu family. Do I need your permission to sit in my own home?"
"I'm still Gu Xing's master. What business is it of yours if I'm sitting in my disciple's house?"
"You're nothing! You're just a brat, you haven't even grown your hair yet! If Gu Xing were to become your disciple, I... I'd cut off my head and let you kick it around like a ball!" If it weren't for the fact that fighting wasn't allowed in the Elders' Hall, the Third Elder would have definitely taught Ruan Yu a lesson.
"Then go ahead and chop it now." Ruan Yu had barely finished speaking.
The Icebreaker Sword, radiating a chilling aura, floated beside her.
They stared intently at the Third Elder.
"Will you do it yourself, or should I?"
