Chapter 958: Chapter 958: This Mansion Will Have a New Name
The Celestial Dao Alliance dispatched people to the Wei Family in a flurry of activity, and set up a deadly trap within the Wei Family estate. There were also two ancestors and more than a dozen experts ranging from Imperial Realm Mid-Stage to below Emperor Realm stationed there, all prepared to obliterate Liu Zixuan and his few brothers.
While they were fervently executing their plan, Liu Zixuan and his men had already arrived in front of the Gu Family Mansion.
"Although we’ve faced off with the Gu Family more than once, this family is probably the richest among the other sub-branches, right?"
Looking at the mansion before him, which resembled a palace, Liu Zixuan murmured with his arms crossed.
"This property is probably even more luxurious than Willow Manor. Given the current real estate prices, it’d be worth at least several million!" Jiang Yunxuan smacked his lips as he murmured.
"What a shame... after today, this property will change its surname!"
Liu Zixuan took out cigarettes and distributed them among his three companions. Each of the four had a cigarette in their mouth and walked toward the mansion with hands in pockets.
"Who are you?" Two guards immediately blocked their way.
"Call Gu Huaqiu out here to kneel before me." Huzi punched with his right hand and knocked the left-side guard down, then looked fiercely at the right-side guard.
Seeing this display, the guard’s legs trembled in fear, and he crawled inside, rolling as he went.
"Damn it, calling themselves the Celestial Dao Alliance. Look at that wimpish behavior!" Huzi cursed irritably.
"Idiots, just showing off in front of ordinary guards!" Jiang Yunxuan sneered disdainfully.
"Damn it, Jiang Yunxuan, do you really not want to be called Nicholas is the most handsome, but Nicholas the Idiot instead? Not convinced? Let’s see later who beats more people!" Huzi shouted angrily.
"Alright, we’ll see later who defeats more people, and let Liu Zixuan and Zhao Yi count the heads." Jiang Yunxuan responded nonchalantly.
As they spoke, the four had already reached the middle of the mansion. Huzi rolled up his sleeves and shouted loudly, "All of you bastards get out here and deliver your heads!"
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, looking helplessly at Zhao Yi, who was also expressionlessly amused.
Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi, these two brothers, might keep bickering even at the world’s end!
Thanks to the guard’s notice, soon close to thirty martial artists came rushing out from the surrounding rooms and the mansion’s hall.
"Liu... Liu Zixuan?" The leader wasn’t Gu Huaqiu, but his father, the Gu Family Patriarch.
"Since the martial arts tournament, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you." Liu Zixuan smiled mockingly.
"You... were supposed to go to the Wei Family! Why are you suddenly at our Gu Family?" The Patriarch wasn’t in the mood for jokes with Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan glanced at his brothers and shouted, "Act quickly, don’t give them a chance to alert anyone. You three hold off here, I’ll go find Gu Huaqiu!"
"Don’t worry, Brother Xuan." Huzi rubbed his wrists, beckoning the Patriarch of the Gu Family: "Stop asking all these questions and get down to receive a punch from your grandpa Hu!"
"Outrageous!" The Patriarch sneered, "How dare you call yourself a grandpa in my presence?"
"You insolent bastard, dare to curse an idiot tiger? I’ll kill you first!"
Huzi was just swearing, but Jiang Yunxuan rushed directly towards the Gu Family Patriarch.
Huzi was immediately furious, running and cursing, "Jiang Yunxuan, damn you, his head is mine!"
Well... even at a time like this, they still squabble...
In a moment, Huzi, Jiang Yunxuan, Zhao Yi had already started fighting with the Gu Family Patriarch and the numerous martial artists.
Meanwhile, Liu Zixuan headed into the mansion hall.
With the guard’s notice, Gu Huaqiu, as the most important figure in the Gu Family, must have received news. The fact he hasn’t appeared indicates two options.
Either he ran away, or he went to find Zhang Xiaoxiao, the little demoness.
Considering Liu Zixuan’s understanding of Gu Huaqiu, the likelihood of him going to find Xiaoxiao was higher.
Firstly, the guard didn’t know Liu Zixuan’s true identity, so Gu Huaqiu might not realize Liu Zixuan himself came, and likely presumes it’s Liu Zixuan’s subordinates, thus slightly relaxing his caution.
Entering the hall, Liu Zixuan quickly headed upstairs, activating X-ray Vision during his ascent, scanning wall to wall to find Gu Huaqiu’s whereabouts.
Before long, he heard some noise from one of the rooms on the third floor.
Narrowing his eyes, as anticipated, Gu Huaqiu was sitting in a chair, holding a glass of red wine, enjoying the sight of Xiaoxiao with a warm smile.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao’s hands and feet were bound to a chair, her face extremely pale, and some dishes near her left hand appeared untouched.
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows and headed directly for the room.
He barely reached the door when he heard Gu Huaqiu’s voice.
"Xiaoxiao, why not eat even a bit today when you ate somewhat before?" Gu Huaqiu asked in a strangely sarcastic tone.
"I just heard people outside discussing whether Liu Zixuan went to the Wei Family; is that true?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked coldly.
"Yes, he’s been quite arrogant recently, so arrogant it’s as if no one else exists. Over there at the Wei Family, right? He’s dead for sure today; the Celestial Dao Alliance learned early of him going to the Wei Family and set up a net there. Even if he has wings today, he can’t escape our grasp!"
"You are truly shameless!" Zhang Xiaoxiao cursed.
"Xiaoxiao, those words wound me deeply." Gu Huaqiu didn’t appear angry, slowly standing and approaching Xiaoxiao, an even more lascivious expression on his face.
"What... What are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in fear.
"Fear not, I won’t touch you as long as Liu Zixuan is not dead."
Gu Huaqiu chuckled softly, "My family’s ancestor has already found ways to cure your physique. Once cured, we’ll marry immediately. I know your first night is still pure, and once we’re wed, I will savor that beautiful moment."
"Get lost! Get lost, you scoundrel! You squander my mother’s trust in you, teaching you swordsmanship, only for you to be such a beast in disguise; the Profound Sword Sect will surely avenge me!" Zhang Xiaoxiao cursed harshly.
"Revenge? There are two possibilities for your revenge. First, the Profound Sword Sect, but once we completely unify the Martial Realm and seize the treasures from the Relic Pearl, our strength will undoubtedly soar. By then, are we still afraid of your Profound Sword Sect?"
"As for the second, Liu Zixuan, and even more regrettably, he will die today. But considering our past at the Profound Sword Sect, I’ll remove his head and display it prominently at our wedding day, letting him watch you become my wo..."
"Bang!"
Before Gu Huaqiu finished speaking, Liu Zixuan kicked the door open...
