Seeing this, Gu Yuan's expression gradually darkened.
"You really want to know?"
"Hehe, that's for sure!"
Hearing Gu Yuan's answer, Jiang Dewu couldn't help but get excited.
Could it be that this kid really isn't a shill?
Is he just a clueless young man who has mastered some kind of secret technique?
If I could master such a secret technique, then...
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Jiang Dewu's eyes.
If he hadn't tried to trick his nephew into giving him the "Stone Skin" at home and accidentally killed him, he wouldn't have needed to leave home and claim to be "cultivating asceticism," when in reality he was just helpless because he couldn't go back.
Countless rogue cultivators have died by my hand, so what difference does it make if this kid dies too!
Even if he reveals the method later, Jiang Dewu will still kill Gu Yuan. Only he deserves to possess such a powerful secret technique!
But Gu Yuan leaned close to Jiang Dewu's ear,
"Come on, let me tell you..."
Just as Jiang Dewu was concentrating intently, wanting to hear what it was...
Gu Yuan imbued the sound with spiritual energy and sent it into Jiang Dewu's ear.
To outsiders, it seemed as if Gu Yuan was whispering in Jiang Dewu's ear, but to Jiang Dewu, it was no less than Gu Yuan throwing in a string of firecrackers!
Moreover, the explosions were right next to his ear, and the loud bangs made Jiang Dewu's eyes see stars, and he almost lost his bearings!
Gu Yuan then tossed a wad of paper into Jiang Dewu's hand and quickly retreated.
He retreated and shouted.
"It was thanks to this that I was able to see what treasures were inside the stone!"
"I'll present this to Brother Jiang. Hope we meet again someday!"
After saying that, Gu Yuan turned to leave, but Jiang Dewu hurriedly opened the thing in his hand and found that it was a pile of rubble and debris.
Enraged, Jiang Dewu threw down the pile of garbage and roared at the group of people around him.
"What are you all standing there for? Grab that kid and bring him back!"
Jiang Dewu had never suffered such humiliation in all this time. If he didn't beat that kid named "Gu Yuan" to his knees and beg for mercy, and pull out all his teeth, he would never be able to vent his anger!
The other customers behind them also joined in the commotion.
"Run, kid! Shi Renjiang can't run fast!"
"Haha, seeing this spectacle today makes even losing a lot of money worthwhile!"
Then the owner of the jade gambling shop came to the servant's side to find out what was going on.
The shop owner patted the servant on the shoulder.
"You were not at fault today. Get up. Be more careful in the future, and we'll avoid further losses."
The servant profusely thanked his master for his great kindness, but the master waved his hand, signaling him to continue serving customers.
This loss was nothing to the shop owner.
What the shop owner was really curious about was who this Gu Yuan really was.
It's truly hilarious. If we can teach Shi Renjiang, that guy who's ruined the reputation of the jade gambling den, a lesson today, then it will really be worth the price of admission.
At this moment, Gu Yuan ran into a small alley.
Turning back to face the group of thugs who had surrounded him, Gu Yuan said loudly.
"How dare you! You are merely mortals, how dare you treat cultivators like this!"
Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, the group of thugs burst into laughter.
"Boy, our elder brother is Shi Renjiang, a foreigner. Even if he were to kill you, he could simply leave Wuxin City. What is there to fear?"
"Hahaha, I see you have fair and tender skin. If you behave yourself, you'll suffer less. We old men can give you some fun."
Seeing that these people's eyes were gleaming green and their expressions were hostile.
Gu Yuan sighed.
Thinking back to the boundless glory of my past life, how many people in this world would dare to say such things to me as they do now?
Several thugs were still laughing and joking, spouting vulgarities, completely oblivious to what Gu Yuan was doing.
They only need to wait for their boss, Jiang Dewu, to arrive so they can get benefits and enjoy themselves.
This has become a common tactic used by these guys.
They have already harmed countless scholars and cultivators with this trick.
The weak and unskilled literary cultivators could only curse their shamelessness and pay up when they encountered this group of people. The academy also reported the matter to the city lord's mansion multiple times.
But Shi Renjiang was colluding with the Lin family.
He secretly promised many benefits to the people in charge, which enabled him to act arrogantly and domineeringly in Wuxin City.
Just as the ugly faces of this group of people were being fully exposed....
Gu Yuan's sudden elbow strike landed squarely on the leader's face, causing the man's entire face to collapse and instantly kill him!
Before the people around could react, Gu Yuan imbued his hand with spiritual power and attacked again!
Although he was still injured, thanks to the boost from the previous elixir, Gu Yuan's physical condition was far superior to that of these guys whose bodies had been ruined by wine and women!
"you...."
Another blow, piercing straight into his chest, and the two thugs in front of him fell to the ground again.
After taking care of two more people, Gu Yuan used the same trick again, quickly killing all the guys who had never practiced martial arts and were just doing evil because of their tall stature!
Gu Yuan didn't hold back at all; keeping such a person around would only make things worse.
Gu Yuan did this not because he wanted to punish evil and promote good, but simply because he didn't want Gu Yun to encounter these kinds of people.
Before leaving, Gu Yuan left Jiang Dewu a "big gift"...
When Jiang Dewu leisurely led a group of seasoned spectators into the alley, all that remained were his underlings lying on the ground.
Jiang Dewu was extremely surprised.
He had considered countless possibilities, but he never imagined that a young man like Gu Yuan would dare to kill someone.
Moreover, he was so ruthless that he killed many of his own henchmen one by one, almost all of them with a single, fatal blow, showing no mercy.
One of the henchmen seemed to be holding something in his hand. When Jiang Dewu opened it, he found a small mechanism inside.
As soon as you let go, the mechanism automatically disengages, and a stone flies out.
It hit Jiang Dewu right in the face; this provocation was like a slap in the face.
Even the group of seasoned veterans behind him were thoroughly entertained.
But they also knew that no ordinary person could compare to a cultivator.
No matter how much trouble this matter causes, it will eventually fizzle out.
Just like the things those scumbags did before, no matter how much ordinary people reported it to the authorities, nothing ever came of it.
They might even be warned and reprimanded.
All of this is simply because of... Jiang Dewu's existence.
But no matter how angry Jiang Dewu was at this moment, Gu Yuan had already left. Looking at his underlings, Jiang Dewu felt a burning pain on his face.
Damn brat... I'll tear you to pieces!
The onlookers treated it like a play, finding it amusing and fantastical, but when they actually calculated it out, they realized they hadn't lost anything, so they just laughed it off.
On the contrary, they found Gu Yuan quite interesting, which could be considered as a way of venting Wu Xincheng's anger.
However, Jiang Dewu's future retaliation will likely continue unabated.
