Leading the group was Xiong Shi, followed by several newly appointed Guardians.
Xiong Shi gazed at Gu Changhe and the others, his muscles tense, but he still walked forward without a change in expression. The Guardians felt a tingling on their scalps, but gritted their teeth and followed; having received their lord's favor, loyalty was required, especially at such crucial moments, retreat was not an option.
"Greetings to Senior Gu, Sect Leader Tang." Xiong Shi was neither humble nor arrogant.
Tang Qiu glared angrily.
Gu Changhe focused his gaze on Xiong Shi, a terrifying pressure assaulted him. Xiong Shi used all his strength to employ a Meditation Technique created by Ning Qi, managing not to reveal any disgrace. The surprise in Gu Changhe's eyes was fleeting, he spoke indifferently:
"You say the two of them are spies?"
Xiong Shi took a deep breath, without retreat:
"I need Senior Gu to verify this! Perhaps Senior Gu does not recognize them, but Sect Leader Tang surely does."
