Chapter 169: Clearing
(I was delayed last night, and I'm sorry to send it now.) ๏ผ
Zou Sheng ran in the direction of the cave for a while, and suddenly saw two people running at a very fast speed in front of him.
When he looked at it, there was a tremor in his heart - Gongsun Kui and Gongsun Hongyuan!
When they arrived here, they obviously already knew that Gongsun Yu was dead, and came to arrest the murderer!
"Damn!" Zou Sheng's heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, "Why didn't I expect that Gongsun Kuiding would leave a soul card for the only genius among my grandsons!What should I do? Unless I can prove that Gongsun Yu's death has nothing to do with me, otherwise the two of them will definitely think that I killed Gongsun Yu!"
Zou Sheng's mind turned sharply and thought about how to deal with it.
Although Gongsun Yu did not die in his hands, he died in front of his eyes, and even he had the ability to save Gongsun Yu, but in order to find a reason to threaten "Xiao Yancheng", he did not rescue him.
In the eyes of Gongsun Kui and Gongsun Hongyuan, not rescuing Gongsun Yu is the same unforgivable sin as killing Gongsun Yu.
So even if he knew that Xiao Yancheng had killed Gongsun Yu, he couldn't say that once he said it, it would be equivalent to recruiting himself.
But if he didn't say it, then he would have to pretend that he didn't know that Gongsun Yu was dead.
But when he entered the Desolate Spirit Valley, he was originally responsible for protecting the ten people who were on a mission, especially the core disciples that the Spirit Lord Elder valued should be his key protection objects, but he didn't know that Gongsun Yu was dead now, which was definitely a serious dereliction of duty, and it was enough to kill him!
"Bastard! This is a fatal and inexplicable situation! When I meet "Xiao Yancheng", I really have poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!" Zou Sheng was shocked and panicked in his heart, and he couldn't wait to peel "Xiao Yancheng" alive!
Seeing that Gongsun Kui and Gongsun Hongyuan were getting closer and closer, he knew that he had no time to think about how to deal with it, so he could only face it in his heart and face it hard.
"Elder Gongsun, Hall Master Gongsun, why are you two here?" Zou Sheng greeted with a frightened and dazed expression, clenching his fists.
"Zou Sheng?!" Gongsun Hongyuan's face darkened suddenly, and when he stepped forward, he was slapped in the face.
There was a crunch.
Zou Sheng was directly knocked out and fell on the ground more than ten feet away.
He shook his dizzy head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and staggered to his feet, though he hated death in his heart, but he did not dare to show itโfor he did not want to die!
"Gongsun Hall Master, what do you mean by this?" Zou Sheng didn't dare to show any hostility, and looked at Gongsun Hongyuan with a puzzled expression.
"Who killed my son Gongsun Yu?" asked Gongsun Hongyuan through gritted teeth.
"Gongsun Yu?!" Zou Sheng pretended to be surprised, and then shouted in panic: "How is it possible! I saw him show his divine power yesterday and kill a Spirit Emperor-level desolate spirit beast!"
"You said you don't know who killed Yu'er?!" Gongsun Hongyuan stepped forward, came to Zou Sheng, and asked with Zou Sheng, the former leader, with blood-red eyes and a bloody roar.
"I don't know!" Zou Sheng gritted his teeth and said firmly, "If it weren't for the two of you, I wouldn't have known that Young Master Gongsun Yu had met with an accident!"
"Since you don't know anything, what's the use of asking you, the Spirit Emperor, to enter the Desolate Spirit Valley? Just pinch it to death!" Gongsun Hongyuan reached out with his other hand and grabbed Zou Sheng's neck, looking like he was going to take off his head.
Zou Sheng could feel that Gongsun Hongyuan was really going to kill him, and he was suddenly frightened and his whole body was cold, and he screamed urgently: "I remember!
"Huh?" Gongsun Hongyuan's gaze was even more fierce, but the movements in his hands stopped.
Gongsun Kui also stared at Zou Sheng with eyes as sharp as a knife.
"After I met Young Master Gongsun Yu yesterday, I once saw 'Xiao Yancheng' going in the direction of Young Master Gongsun Yu. I'm afraid ......"
"Xiao Yancheng, are you sure!" Gongsun Hongyuan stared at Zou Sheng tightly.
"Sure! It's him! I had taught him a lesson in Chunyuan Tower before, so I was deeply impressed by him and wouldn't admit my mistake. Zou Sheng hurriedly shouted.
Gongsun Kui frowned and asked, "Xiao Yancheng, is that the core disciple who climbed to the fourth layer of the Dragon Ladder more than ten days ago?"
"Yes! That's the man. Gongsun Hongyuan nodded, and then his brows tightened, he didn't believe that "Xiao Yancheng" could kill Gongsun Yu.
"According to what you said last time, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, can he have the strength of a two-star Spirit Emperor?" Gongsun Kui asked Gongsun Hongyuan suspiciously.
"I don't know about this, I didn't try it at the time. Gongsun Hong said from afar.
"Yes, yes!" Zou Sheng hurriedly interjected, at this time he felt a glimmer of hope for survival, as long as he could successfully guide the murderer to "Xiao Yancheng", maybe Gongsun Hongyuan and Gongsun Kui would let him go.
Therefore, when he heard Gongsun Kui's suspicion that "Xiao Yancheng" did not have the strength of a two-star Spirit Emperor, he hurriedly said his evidence: "When I taught him a lesson in Chunyuan Building that day, he almost broke free from my domain, and his physical strength is definitely a two-star Spirit Emperor!"
"Two-star Spirit Emperor of physical strength?!If he really has such talent, I'm afraid that he can climb the fifth layer of the Dragon Ladder!" Gongsun Kui still didn't believe it, and retorted coldly.
Gongsun Hongyuan seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he was a little convinced: "I heard that he did show the idea of attacking the fifth layer that day, but in the end he didn't climb it." I'm afraid that it is really possible that his physical strength has reached the Spirit Emperor level. โ
"If that's the case, then the murderer is definitely this son!" Gongsun Kui reasoned coldly, then looked at Zou Sheng coldly, and shouted: "Lead the way, go to the place where you saw Gongsun Yu yesterday!"
"Yes. Zou Sheng hurriedly bowed down, quickly turned around and led the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "As long as they don't kill me now, there is hope for life!"
In order to survive, Zou Sheng raised his spirit and ran at full speed, fearing that he would be killed by his grandson and father if he was slow.
Soon, the three of them saw the corpses of Zhong Lieyuan and Zheng Gong first, but at this time, they had been gnawed beyond recognition by the desolate spirit beast.
"I met Young Master Gongsun here yesterday, but I didn't expect ......" Zou Sheng made a surprised and sad look.
"It's Zhong Lieyuan and Zheng Gong!" Gongsun Hongyuan said in a deep voice, directly interrupting Zou Sheng's performance.
Gongsun Kui nodded, stepped forward and looked at it a few times, beckoned his hand to pick up the space rings on the fingers of the two corpses, and said with a cold gaze: "After the murderer killed them, in order to chase Yu'er, he didn't have time to take off their space rings. The place where Yu'er was killed must go forward. โ
After saying that, Gongsun Kui immediately ran towards the depths of the Desolate Spirit Valley.
Gongsun Hongyuan immediately followed.
Zou Sheng stood still, hesitating in his heart whether to follow.
"Keep up!" Gongsun Kui's voice reached Zou Sheng's ears far away.
