Fortune Teller

The old man looked at Gu Xiuyun with a cold light in his eyes, but after thinking for a long time, he still did not take action.

He also knew something about the feud between the two. When the news of Gu Xiuyun's death spread throughout the city, the reason was that Gu Xiuzhe forcibly imprisoned those guards, which caused misunderstanding.

Even the fourth branch of the Gu family sent people into the dungeon to confirm the death, but Gu Xiuzhe stopped them.

This is how the hatred between each other was forged.

Even if this matter was brought before the elders of the Gu clan, Gu Xiuzhe would not take the matter seriously. Instead, he would take some blame. So when the old man came here, he would not ask any questions and just take action, intending to capture Gu Xiuyun in one fell swoop and get rid of this matter. .

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiuyun had broken through to the realm of opening pulses, and the spiritual power in his body was also extremely pure purple energy.

He has opened the Purple Qi Spiritual Vein Realm and understood Benyun Hand, and in terms of strength, he is almost as good as the old man.

After all, the old man was only in the early stage of opening the pulse state, and he had two-color veins. Even if he mastered an intermediate secret method, he could barely beat Gu Xiuyun and could not suppress him.

"Tell me, how can you be willing to let him go?" The old man asked, suppressing his anger.

"Gu Xiuzhe imprisoned my guard and tortured him for a month. If I don't torture him, how can I be willing to do it?" Gu Xiuyun glanced in the air. Gu Xiuzhe had already fainted, but the guards had not stopped yet.

After being imprisoned for a month, the guards suffered far more torture than Gu Xiuzhe. One can imagine the resentment in their hearts.

"People are already unconscious, and you still think the torture is not enough?" The old man said with a cold expression, "Gu Xiuyun, my nephew just arrested some guards. It's a trivial matter, so don't go too far."

"My man, what qualifications does he have to be imprisoned?" Gu Xiuyun stared at the old man to prevent him from suddenly making a move and saving Gu Xiuzhe. "In addition, the demon blood and elixir I obtained from hunting in the city went into his pocket. , one price, one million taels of gold.”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old man's eyes widened.

One million taels of gold, even if he sold Gu Xiuzhe, he couldn't afford to lose so much money.

"Do you think I'm bluffing you?" Gu Xiuyun glanced at the slaves who were hiding in the distance, "I went out of the city this time and hunted a dozen monsters. I packed dozens of bags with monster blood and elixirs, including one Although the demon beast in Kai Pulse Realm is highly poisonous and cannot drink its demon blood, the poisonous blood can be used to refine poisonous arrows and hidden weapons, and I have collected a lot of them."

"If you don't believe it, go and search the residences of Gu Xiuzhe and his subordinates. They can't spend such a large sum of money in just one month." Gu Xiuyun continued.

The old man frowned.

One million taels of gold is not a small number.

But it is very troublesome to verify this kind of thing. When the guards under Gu Xiuyun entered the city, the guards on the city wall saw so much baggage. If it contained demon blood and elixir, it would be worth millions.

But think about it carefully, those guards came back a month ago. Gu Xiuyun a month ago was able to kill the Pulse Opening Realm monster?

Just ridiculous.

When the old man thought about it, Gu Xiuyun's breakthrough to the pulse-opening realm must have been due to some opportunity recently.

a month ago? I am afraid that I am still in the early stage of Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm. How many monsters can I kill?

"Gu Xiuyun, you are opening your mouth like a lion. Don't even think about one million taels of gold. Let's settle this matter with one hundred thousand taels of gold." The old man said in a deep voice.

"In that case, let's wait for the Gu clan leader to come and save people in person!" Gu Xiuyun turned around and sat back on the recliner.

"Okay, very good!" The old man laughed angrily, "Gu Xiuyun, you are simply lawless."

After saying this, the old man left immediately. He wanted to see if Gu Xiuyun would still dare to say such things when the old man of the Gu clan came here.

…

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. What happened at the North City Wall quickly spread in Youning City.

"What, Gu Xiuzhe was tied up and tortured by a group of guards?"

"This is impossible. Gu Xiuyun has only been enlightening the spiritual veins for a long time. How can he be Gu Xiuzhe's opponent? Did you get it wrong?"

"Gu Xiuyun and that old guy Gu Qingbu are tied? Absolutely impossible."

Rumors were flying all over the sky, and because they were so outrageous, not many people believed them. However, it was an indisputable fact that Gu Xiuzhe was tied into a rice dumpling with iron ropes and hung on the city wall.

The entire Youning City was boiling, and many practitioners from aristocratic families rushed to the north city wall to watch Gu Xiuzhe being tortured.

But when they arrived, the northern city wall was already empty.

…

In the main line of the Gu family, a group of uncles and elders sat on both sides, staring gloomily at Gu Xiuyun, including many elders of the Feng generation.

In the Gu Xiu clan, apart from the clan elders who opened Tianguan, the highest-ranking one now is the Feng generation, followed by the Qing generation, such as Gu Qingzheng and Gu Qingyuan.

Further down, there is the youngest generation of calligraphers.

As for the younger generation, they are still children now and cannot even go out of the courtyard.

The fourth uncle sat at the highest point in the palace, looking down at everyone.

"Gu Xiuyun, I heard that you tied up your clan brother and hung him on the North City Tower for torture. Is this true?" the fourth uncle said quietly.

"Old Ancestor, Xiuyun doesn't dare to hide it. It is true," Gu Xiuyun nodded, "But when it comes to the reason, it was forced by Gu Xiuzhe. If I hadn't broken through to the Pulse Opening Realm by luck, the person hanging on the wall right now would be Xiuyun!"

"Gu Xiuyun, what are you talking about?" Gu Qingbu shouted angrily from the side.

"Why, is Uncle Clan trying to cover up Gu Xiuzhe's crime?"

"Humph, in my opinion, you were the one who bullied your fellow clansmen by relying on your great improvement in cultivation. The Yan family's direct daughter was almost scorned by you!" Another uncle from the main lineage sneered.

"Uncle Clan, what you said is wrong. I have no interest in men. Besides, Gu Xiuzhe is so ugly. He makes me want to vomit just by looking at him. Even if I have a Longyang addiction, I will never find him." Gu Xiuyun glanced at the man lying on the ground. Gu Xiuzhe continued, "After I returned to the city, I heard that all the guards under my command were indiscriminately imprisoned deep in the dungeon by Gu Xiuzhe. At that time, I was thinking about my kinship and did not argue with him. Instead, I asked Deputy General He Feng to take me Go to the dungeon and save people.”

"He Feng, am I wrong?" Gu Xiuyun turned to look at the man kneeling outside the hall.

"Everything Mr. Yun said is true. When we went to the dungeon, many people saw it along the way. They can testify." He Feng said quickly.

"Then why did you start fighting?" Fourth uncle was curious.

"Fourth uncle Mingjian, Xiuyun was devoted to saving people and had no intention of fighting with Gu Xiuzhe, but he refused to let me go. He actually sent his subordinate Hu Yanduo to take action, trying to capture me alive and hang me on the north city wall." Gu Xiuyun's eyes were filled with joy. He was filled with resentment and tears hidden in the corners of his eyes, "Fourth uncle, if you don't believe it, go and ask outside the dungeon. What Gu Xiuzhe shouted at that time resounded throughout the dungeon, and more than tens of thousands of people heard it."

The words just fell.

A group of civilians walked outside the palace and said loudly: "Gu Xiuyun, I will give you a chance to come out and kneel down and kowtow. Otherwise, you will be hung on the north city wall so that everyone in Youning City will know that even if you Even though he has enlightened his spiritual veins, he is still a waste."

"Fourth uncle, these are Gu Xiuzhe's original words, unchanged." Gu Xiuyun said.

When he came to the main line, he deliberately brought He Feng and the civilians in the dungeon with him, just to prove Gu Xiuzhe's crime.

With these irrefutable proofs, even if the uncles in the main line wanted to be partial, there was nothing they could do.

"What a Gu Xiuzhe, he actually attacked his own clan." The fourth uncle's face darkened.

"Humph, Gu Xiuyun, these are just your words. Besides, nephew Zhe only said a few cruel words, but you actually hung him on the north city wall and beat him for half an hour." Gu Qingbu insisted. He yelled while scratching his head.

"Oh? According to the clan uncle, Gu Xiuzhe went all the way to the dungeon just to say a few cruel words?" Gu Xiuyun sneered, "Does the clan uncle regard me as a fool, or does he regard his fourth uncle as a fool?"

"You fart." Gu Qingbu's face turned purple with anger. If he hadn't been stopped by both sides, he would have almost rushed forward and punched Gu Xiuyun.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xiuyun walked up to Gu Qingbu and said, "My nephew dares to tell the truth, but I wonder if my uncle dares?"

"What truth do you want?" Gu Qingbu said angrily.

"My nephew once said that in my batch of luggage that Gu Xiuzhe had detained, there was a large amount of demon blood and elixir worth one million taels of gold. The guards under my command could even tell the origin of those things. If the family wants Go and check, you can definitely find it!”

With so much demon blood and elixir, even if Gu Xiuzhe wanted to sell it, he had to have a channel, and there must be records within the clan.

"Uncle Clan, if I remember correctly, you just wanted to use one hundred thousand taels of gold to settle the matter. Could it be that you also swallowed up part of that batch of treasures?" Gu Xiuyun's eyes were cold.

"Gu Qingbu, is this possible?" Fourth uncle spoke again.

"Fourth uncle, I am wronged. Gu Xiuyun is just talking nonsense. How can those baggage be worth one million taels of gold?" Gu Qingbu said repeatedly.

"Whether there are so many, we will find out if we check."

Soon, a group of guards and slaves rushed to Gu Xiuzhe's courtyard and turned the place upside down.

Sure enough, there was a lot of demon blood and elixirs that were intact and sealed in the secret vault. The type of demon blood and what the guards said were all correct.

The evidence was overwhelming, and the uncle who was the main lineage of the Gu family could no longer speak.

The batch found alone is worth four to five million taels of gold. Even if it is given to the clan, it can be exchanged for 300,000 taels of gold, which is no longer a small sum.

The three crimes of bullying fellow tribesmen, devouring money, and using power to force others were all proven to be irrefutable. Even if Gu Xiuzhe woke up, he would not be able to tell the difference!

"Everyone, since this matter has been made clear, there is no need to argue anymore. Let's handle it according to the clan rules!" The fourth uncle said what he said. The uncles in the main lineage didn't dare to object, so they nodded quickly.

Soon, the family decided on the penalty.

Gu Xiuyun fought with his own clan and was punished with three hundred sticks.

Gu Xiuzhe bullied his fellow tribesmen, swallowed a huge amount of money, banned him from the courtyard for three years, and was not allowed to take a step out. He also confiscated all the property in his name and withheld the offerings until one million taels of gold were repaid.
