Later that day, at exactly 1pm.
At an inconspicuous looking rice shop, Gu Yu Xing could be seen walking in.
His hair was long and black, nothing like the disheveled mess from before. He is a young man of about 5.8ft with a well toned body of a warrior, perfectly fitted with the signature black Gong Fu robe with a 'Gu' on its upper back.
It was almost the same style with what Gu Lin Fang and Gu Lin Ju were wearing but was still different. Due to their bloodline, he had a kind of seductive charm like Gu Lin Fang that made him seem trustworthy.
Upon entering the rice shop, the customers quietened down while the staff looked shocked.
"BOSS!!" The shopkeeper calls out and the customers went about their business.
The shopkeeper was a thick looking young man with bronze colored skin, which made it obvious that he was an external cultivator(Body cultivator) and he was by no means
When all was said and done, Gu Lin Fang felt Li Cheng had enough preparation to finish the job."You know what to do?" He asked Li Cheng the third time as he was afraid the boy would forget once again."Yes Lord Uncle, I'm to wait at the storyteller's shop opposite the auction house with the puppet placed in position as a beggar and watch for the Kong clan's young Master before initiating any attack..." Gu Li Cheng spoke while fidgeting slightly.Hearing his words, Gu Lin Fang felt a vein threatening to pop as he glared at the fool, "who said anything about you being at the storyteller's shop?.I said, the puppet should be the only one there acting as a beggar right in front of the shop, you shouldn't be seen at all until it's time to retrieve the corpse puppet into your spatial ring.Definitely it will be chased but I'm sure you know what to do then".
Meanwhile, as the auction was in motion, some shadowy figures were on their way to what they called the [Underground Qi Routing Control room] beneath the Chang's property. this was the tool for supplying power to the hall.They silently eliminated anyone who saw them, but that didn't mean they happily carried out an indiscriminate mass murder."…the Qi Routing Control room." a hoarse voice broke the silence as it read out the words on the iron door.They could feel the Qi overflowing from the processed core could be felt from where they stood.Processed cores were artificial power source that was made to hold heaven and earth Qi in order to power the Airships, lit up the nights in certain areas of cities depending on the size.It was just as vital to human convenience as electricity to modern Earth, the downside was that, one can't use it to cultivate.<
As soon as Gu Lin Fang recovered he checked on Gu Lin Ju and saw she was fine.'things can't just end this simply but the effect of the formation is still active...' as he was lost in thought and began making up plans, His Qi resource bar recovered and the chains over them disappeared.When he intended to take a step, Time slowed down until it froze[Ding!][You have gotten to a point, where you have to make a decision for a fate linked scene...][A. Impudent!! You dare!!. Reward : +25 individual Notoriety point, Body count converter][B. ... Reward: +1 individual Notoriety points.]Gu Lin Fang didn't need to think as he couldn't just stay silent as the second option suggests, that would deprive him from going further with his plans.But he was rendered speechless by what happened next because of his choice...
Upon stepping outside of the Changfeng Merchant gates, Gu Lin Fang glared around before taking a deep breath and smirking.Because he had his back to Yu Xing and Gu Lin Ju, they frowned. Gu Lin Ju was still in Yu Xing's arms as she struggled to say, "Father, I'm fine..."This snapped Gu Lin Fang out of his thoughts as he looked at her with a smile, "I know, I'm just disappointed about losing those perfectly good guards...Now who's going to drive the carriage, good thing you didn't bring your maid".Gu Yu Xing sighs in relief and said,"Lord father, I am in awe of your prowess, even I was almost worried you forgot the plan...but"He paused as he followed after Gu Lin Fang, the latter was walking towards the carriage as he eyed a beggar in the street.The beggar sat there motionless with his face covered but Gu Lin Fang knew who he was.
At this time the Commercial district was a mess, the Chang's all had an expression that made them look like they had swallowed flies.The Yanmen officers weren't having a good time either, never had such an incident happened in the passed 10 years.Several important figures died in one evening!, Civilians murdered ruthlessly by an angry cultivator.In fact It was noticed that, Gu Lin Fang in his fit of rage, had more kill counts than the assassins themselves. Unfortunately there was nothing they could do for now.The commander in chief who's in charge of Iron Crow City was present on the scene. He looked at the bodies spread across the ground and was speechless.A hundred and twenty people died today, although majority died due to the stampedes."Commander Zhuge, I believe we should go and capture this Master Gu" the captain who was first on the scene once ag
A/N: Slight info dump ahead!!Gu Lin Fang's expression didn't change at all, as he stared at the kneeling man before him.He had just explained everything to Gu Ji Hung, starting from his wife's death to the 'awakening' of the Clan's bloodline, up to this very moment.He watched his every action, ready to kill. should Gu Ji Hung criticize him, Gu Lin Fang would have wasted him immediately without letting anyone know.After all, he was presently in need of an exquisite corpse puppet after giving the first one to Li Cheng.But now without any change in expression, Gu Ji Hung pulled out an odd looking pagoda and spoke solemnly, "When you distracted the Lu clan scum, we managed to repel the Wu's for a few minutes.That was when Fei Huang, along with other guest elders stormed the treasury. They killed everyone they bumped into, making us unable to notice th
Gu Lin Fang looked at the sketch he made after inspecting Gu Ji Hung's meridians and accupoints.'good, with this I don't need to beat around the bush, looking for them.I'll use this same method for the other two as well, that way I can clear any doubts and get a deeper understanding'.'But this Gu Ji Bei might be a problem...' Gu Lin Fang looked at the list of names, that Gu Ji Hung said we're with him in {Iron Crow City}, Only Gu Ji Bei had less than 40% loyalty at this point.'Oh well, we can establish that people can die during awakening as well', Smiling at his thoughts, he looked at Gu Ji Hung, who silently circulated his Qi to offset the heat. He had a serious expression and his skin looked really red at this point,'His loyalty is capped at 89%, just because of the incident when he was a kid and a few lessons?. What do I know, must have
(A/N: warning, slight info dump ahead)Overwhelmed!!Yes Overwhelmed!!That was what Gu Lin Fang was feeling right now.He ignored the Notoriety points for now and looked at the once that he felt was important to his future.[Connection to the story: 62%]'so my actions were on the right track, I just need to go forward with the plan as it is and it would be 100% in no time' Gu Lin Fang stroked his beaded chin while in deep thought.[Triggered villain's fortune!:Captain Qiang Lei (Hero)Cloud piercing swordsman Sima Yan (Hero)]Upon reading these, Gu Lin Fang couldn't help cussing "who the F*ck is this Captain Qiang Lei trash?.Hero? Sima Yan? What grudges do we have with each other?"He kept grumbling while thinking but then his eyes flashed
