Chapter 2484: Chapter 2487: Gui Ying’s Methods

The Meng Family of Qingyang Prefecture?

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, and looked at Meng Tiancheng with surprise, then glanced at the crowd behind Chen Rui. It seemed that the other three groups were from three of the four major families in Qingyang Prefecture.

Among the crowd, he saw several young men who resembled those from the four major families of Qingyang Prefecture whom he had once slain.

”You...”

Liu Yunxia furrowed her brow, glaring at Meng Tiancheng, about to shout.

Chen Rui tugged at her, gently shaking his head.

”You may leave now.”

Lu Xian spoke lightly.

”Thank you, Senior Lu, for your generosity.”

Meng Tiancheng cupped his fists toward Lu Xian and bowed, then turned around and signaled to Chen Rui with his eyes.

Chen Rui unwillingly glanced at Jiang Chen, snorted coldly, and pulled Liu Yunxia to leave the valley.

Several dozen people followed along begrudgingly.

Yan Li glanced at the backs of Chen Rui and others, then turned to Jiang Chen, explaining softly, ”Mr. Jiang, if it weren’t for Liu Yunxia, we would have detained them, but...”

”Senior Yan Li, it’s understandable.”

Jiang Chen replied with a light smile.

Seeing Jiang Chen was not bothered, Yan Li sighed slightly in relief, fearing that Jiang Chen might resent them for not taking action.

Lu Xian looked at Yan Li with some surprise. Based on his understanding of Yan Li, it was unlikely that just because Jiang Chen was an Array Master, he’d show such respect.

It seemed, this young man was not simple at all!

Lu Xian gave Jiang Chen a deep look. To make Yan Li treat him so cordially, he must possess formidable strength. Otherwise, his status as an Array Master would only invite a bit of respect from Yan Li, not such careful consideration.

Could the rumors be true?

Lu Xian thought of something, stepped forward in front of Jiang Chen, and spoke softly, ”Mr. Jiang, I am Lu Xian, the Grand Marshal of Wind Thunder Valley.”

”Greetings, Senior Lu Xian.”

Jiang Chen cupped his fists, glanced around, eyes showing a hint of doubt, ”Isn’t Brother Jin Hu with you?”

”Jin Hu? You mean the one who went to report at the third trading point?”

Lu Xian raised an eyebrow and said softly, ”He left after reporting. I suppose he went somewhere else to hunt Necro Spirits. It’s dangerous here, him returning wouldn’t change anything.”

”Impossible, Jin Hu wouldn’t leave just like that.”

Jiang Chen shook his head gently, understanding what Lu Xian meant, implying Jin Hu had fled. But someone who upheld the adventuring group alone after most members sacrificed wouldn’t abandon comrades out of cowardice.

”This...”

Lu Xian looked at Jiang Chen’s determined eyes, hesitated a bit, and spoke softly, ”I heard Lei Yang Village seems to be looking for someone, those people killed Lei Ying’s three brothers, is it you?”

”We killed them.”

Jiang Chen nodded, then his expression changed, ”Oh no! Jin Hu fell into the hands of Lei Yang Village’s people!”

”That... might not be yet.”

Lu Xian shook his head gently.

Jiang Chen and others furrowed their brows, looking at Lu Xian.

”While coming here, we heard some news. A few days ago, Lei Yang Village’s deputy leader Gui Ying was chasing someone, which should be Jin Hu. But according to the rumors, Gui Ying didn’t kill him, just kept pursuing without letting him escape, seemingly to lure you out.”

Lu Xian explained softly.

”Does Senior Lu Xian know where they are?”

Jiang Chen looked at Lu Xian with anticipation.

Lu Xian’s expression changed slightly, then gently shook his head, ”No, we didn’t send anyone to search for them.”

Jiang Chen furrowed his eyebrows, understanding something instantly, his expression indifferent, ”Thank you, Senior Lu Xian, for informing.”

”Hu Zi, let’s go!”

Calling Yan Hu, Jiang Chen was about to leave.

Lu Xian knew Jiang Chen had ties to Jin Hu but didn’t pay attention to Jin Hu’s matter, clearly avoiding confrontation with Lei Yang Village due to Jin Hu. Since that’s the case, Jiang Chen had no reason to cooperate with them.

”Mr. Jiang, I can find Jin Hu.”

Seeing this, Yan Li was startled, glaring at Lu Xian, and quickly shouted to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen paused, looked at Lu Xian, then turned to Yan Li, ”Please lead the way, Senior Yan Li.”

”Alright!”

Yan Li nodded, signaled to Lu Xian, and slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jiang Chen again, remaining silent.

Yan Li’s attitude was clear, telling him not to offend Jiang Chen. Lu Xian grew increasingly interested in Jiang Chen.

”Found him!”

A moment later, Yan Li opened his eyes, turned to Jiang Chen, ”I have a wisp of Divine Sense in my Token, I can know his general location, but the Token hasn’t moved, seems he’s trapped!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes shifted, saying nothing, looking at Yan Li with a more urgent gaze.

”Lu Xian, bring people along.”

Yan Li called to Lu Xian, then flashed and leaped toward the valley.

Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and Yun Hai followed swiftly. Lu Xian looked at them, then followed, his gaze lingering on Jiang Chen.

In the dense forest a hundred miles away from the crowd.

Jin Hu leaned against a big tree, face pale, body soaked with blood, yet a playful smile on his face.

Not far in front of him stood a figure shrouded in a black robe, emitting dense black mist, appearing mysterious and eerie.

”Jin Hu, I’ll give you one last chance to tell me the location of Jiang Chen and those people, I can let you die quickly!”

Gui Ying’s cold voice emerged from under the black robe.

Jin Hu grinned, ”Deputy Gui Ying, kill me if you want, but I won’t betray my friends!”

”Stubborn!”

Gui Ying snorted coldly, raised one hand, and a dark shadow quickly enveloped Jin Hu.

The shadow surged with black mist, instantly wrapping Jin Hu within.

”Dark Soul Devouring!”

Gui Ying growled, two blood-red beams shot from his eyes into the black mist.

The black mist surged, permeating Jin Hu’s body entirely.

”Ah!”

A shrill cry rang out, Jin Hu collapsed, face contorted, clutching his head, convulsing on the ground!

At this moment, within his Sea of Consciousness, threads of black were tearing at his Divine Infant, surrounded by a Great Dao Wheel of Light, yet unable to resist the black threads. The Divine Infant shredded, like his soul tearing, a chilling pain coursed through him, Jin Hu trembled all over.

”Damn it! Kill me if you dare! Kill me!”

Jin Hu’s eyes bloodshot, glared at Gui Ying, beast-like roars emanating from his mouth.

Gui Ying’s gaze remained indifferent toward Jin Hu, silent, his eyes filled with sheer disdain.
