Chapter 411: 411: So That’s The Truth
Even so, Gu Jingguo was still bathed in cold sweat.
It was a close call. If King Li’s anger had risen just a bit more, Gu family would have probably been wiped out.
They could afford to pay fifty billion Spirit Stones if they gritted their teeth.
However, what Gu Jingguo wanted to know most now was who the hell had supplied the thirty-five billion counterfeit Spirit Stones!
When he later entertained these people, Gu Jingguo was cautious, fearing any further incidents, but luckily nothing happened.
When he had a moment, Gu Jingguo allegedly made time for Heng Heng and King Li to catch up, but he actually went out to conduct an investigation. King Li saw through his actions.
“This is interesting.”
“Northern State truly is full of talented people.”
As he watched Gu Jingguo depart, King Li couldn’t help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Heng Heng was taken aback: “Elder Li, what do you mean?”
Immediately, King Li did not hide anything and told the story about the fraudulent Spirit Stones. Heng Heng was puzzled.
Could anyone pull off such a feat?
Was this a joke—fake Spirit Stones?
How could they perfectly deceive him? That was simply impossible!
“Had I not been so attentive, they would have succeeded in fooling me. Things wouldn’t be so easy to deal with then,” King Li shook his head. Yet, there was a glint of excitement in his eyes. “I am curious about the ability of the person who could create such fake Spirit Stones. Who, indeed, is he?”
“I bet the Gu family will find out soon,” said Heng Heng hurriedly.
And, indeed, the Gu family did find out quite quickly.
The matters of the Void Prince and Gu Leng were soon known by Gu Jingguo. Knowing the details, he erupted in fury!
This was apparently a scam! Was Gu Leng blind to not see it?
“Idiot, moron, useless! Did Gu Leng grow up eating shit, so he couldn’t see through such deception?”
Gu Jingguo roared in immense fury.
He immediately contacted Gu Leng, who was currently having fun with Su Lan and Qiu Zixuan, dreaming of his ascension to the top of Gu family through the mysterious Void Prince and even becoming the Head of the family!
When he received a message from the Gu family, Gu Leng was convinced it was a reward from the higher-ups.
Feeling excited, he hastily pushed Su Lan away, asking for silence before he began receiving the message from the communication token.
The others, watching his expression change from excitement to shock to gloom—to finally a greenish hue—were completely taken aback.
In the end, he even squeezed the communication token to smithereens!
“Brother Gu Leng, what happened?”
“Did the Gu family bully you again? Don’t worry, we have now got in touch with the son of Bai. With him backing you, what’s there to worry about?”
Su Lan, the woman who changed sides according to the wind, was an expert at flattery. Seeing something was wrong with Gu Leng, she quickly tried to butter him up.
Too bad she had no idea she was, quite literally, slapping a horse’s hoof!
Slap!
Furious, Gu Leng slapped Su Lan across the face.
“Whore, shut the fuck up! If anyone dares to mention the son of Bai or Void Prince to me again, I’ll kill them!”
At this moment, Gu Leng, as if possessed, had bloodshot eyes and let out a howl.
Now he knew everything, and how he had been made a fool of!
“Bastard, let me find out who you are. I will skin you alive and tear you apart inch by inch, consigning you to eternal damnation!”
Gu Leng was devastated.
He had been imagining himself solidifying his position in the Gu family through the Void Prince and climbing up the ranks, getting to know a broader world by building connections with the Void Prince.
But now, all of it was merely an illusion—all fake!
Not only did he fail to receive help from the son of Bai or Void Prince, but because of the thirty-five billion fake Spirit Stones, he was stripped of his position by Gu Jingguo and was now laden with guilt.
If he didn’t do something extraordinary to redeem himself or make a substantial contribution later on, this family, known for its ruthlessness, would probably abandon him!
“Call everyone!
“All of you, all the fighters, gather as many as you can, we’re going to West Wind City. I must catch that bastard!”
With bloodshot eyes, Gu Leng roared, silencing the entire room. Everyone was scared shitless by Gu Leng’s current state.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family, Gu Jingguo, who had just scolded Gu Leng but couldn’t quell his rage, was still fuming.
“Damn it all, losing so much because of his stupidity!”
“It’s a hundred billion back and forth. That’s no small amount!”
Gu Jingguo was almost insane. How could the Gu family have such a fool?
Even a pig would be smarter!
Just when he was incensed, someone came running in a hurry.
“Master, there’s trouble! Something big has happened!”
“What the hell happened again?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingguo sprang up to his feet and quickly walked out. He thought the Temple of War had been provoked again, and he needed to intervene immediately; otherwise, the Gu family would undoubtedly be destroyed!
However, the one who barged in hurriedly said, “Master, hold on. Here’s what happened…”
After Gu Heng’s death, his soul stone shattered and was immediately discovered by the guardian. Through the last fragment of memory, they found out about Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Cheng, and others. They even knew that Gu Heng had marked those people with the unique branding of the Gu family in his final moments!
After hearing the news, Gu Jingguo finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Is there no peace…Wait a minute. What did you say, Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Cheng?”
Gu Jingguo suddenly woke up. His mind had been focused on the Temple of War, so he hadn’t clearly heard the real content of the message.
After confirmation, Gu Jingguo narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows, realizing that all this was probably orchestrated by that bastard Jiang Xiaobai!
“Well, Jiang Xiaobai, you’re a daring dog! ”
“I’ve been trying to find you and now you show up on your own, daring to come to Northern State, the territory of my Gu family to seek death?”
“As long as I catch you, it will be as if heaven is helping me.”
Gu Jingguo burst out laughing. Now they were in Northern State, Gu Family’s territory, and Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng had the unique markings of his Gu family on them.
Catching them would be as easy as catching turtles in a jar!
“Call in everyone! Announce the news and seal off all cities and places in Northern State that lead to Central State. Then, send all elite fighters must capture Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng!”
“If anyone fails to capture them, they can come to me with their heads!”
