Chapter 1609 What? Son of Destiny?
"Are you an idiot? The initiative is in our hands now!"
The Ninth-Rank Martial Emperor expert cursed.
"It's not in your hands anymore!"
With that, Chen Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a silver needle shot out.
It was too fast for the Ninth-Rank Martial Emperor expert to dodge, piercing his glabella and killing him instantly!
"What?"
The Second-Rank Martial Emperor was also stunned. He was dead just like that?
Sensing something was wrong, he quickly hid behind Gu Yulong.
As soon as he fled, several silver needles shot out in the next moment, instantly piercing a large chunk of granite.
In front of the silver needles, the granite was no different from tofu.
Chen Xuan turned into an afterimage and arrived in an instant, dragging Gu Yulong to the front, exposing the Second-Rank Martial Emperor, who thought he was safe, right in front of him.
"Looking for death!"
Seeing that his protective charm Gu Yulong was lost, the Second-Rank Martial Emperor was not foolish and immediately attacked Chen Xuan.
Boom!!
Chen Xuan met him with a punch.
Upon contact, the Second-Rank Martial Emperor's fist was instantly shattered. The force of the punch did not diminish and directly smashed into the Second-Rank Martial Emperor's head, which exploded like a hit watermelon!
This scene was even more bloody in the dark night.
Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun were shocked into silence.
They knew Chen Xuan was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.
Chen Xuan waved his hand, and a white light flashed, instantly cutting off the special ropes on Gu Yulong.
"Hurry up and go."
Chen Xuan's words made the two react.
They swallowed the doubts in their hearts.
"Go this way."
Gu Yulong led the way, but suddenly a loud shout rang out: "Stop right there!!"
Gu Yongming, leading a group of people, charged over and surrounded them.
Besides Gu Yongming, there were several Gu family elders, and the Gu family patriarch, Gu Honglong, was among them.
Beside Gu Honglong was a Taoist priest in a robe.
Seeing these people, Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun's faces turned pale.
It was over, they hadn't escaped after all!
Chen Xuan, however, sized up the Taoist priest in the robe. Could this be Zhang Ding Tian, the sect master of Longhu Mountain?
"You good-for-nothing Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun, as disciples of the Gu family, you actually released the prisoner yourself. What crime should you be punished with?"
Gu Yongming said coldly.
Gu Yulong looked at the patriarch Gu Honglong and said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, Chen Xuan did nothing wrong. He just appeared in a place he shouldn't have. This matter has nothing to do with him. Please investigate clearly, Patriarch!"
Gu Hongjiang was also angered: "Shut up! You two are too abominable. How could you do such a thing?"
"I..."
"Enough, shut up! From today onwards, Gu Yulong will go to the dungeon to reflect for three years, and Gu Lingyun will be stripped of his sequence ranking and punished with one hundred lashes of the Seven Star Whip according to family law!"
As soon as Gu Hongjiang said this, Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun's faces changed.
Gu Yulong being locked in the dungeon for three years was undoubtedly a major blow.
Gu Lingyun also lost the sequence he had just obtained and was to be punished with the Seven Star Whip. The Seven Star Whip was extremely powerful, and a single lash was enough to tear flesh and skin. After one hundred lashes, Gu Lingyun would be lucky to be half alive.
While some rejoiced, others grieved. Gu Yongming was filled with schadenfreude and said that Gu Hongjiang's punishment was correct.
"And this fellow, take him down immediately and execute him!"
Gu Hongjiang looked at Chen Xuan.
With the order, someone immediately went to apprehend Chen Xuan.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan was ready to fight, preparing to take Gu Lingyun and Gu Yulong away by himself.
But at this moment, Zhang Ding Tian suddenly jumped out, looking at Chen Xuan with shock and exclaimed, "Son of Destiny! He really is the Son of Destiny!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Wait a moment!"
Gu Honglong quickly waved his hand and turned to Zhang Ding Tian, "Sect Master, what Son of Destiny?"
Zhang Ding Tian said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Chen Xuan should be the Son of Destiny of your Gu family."
Huh?
Let alone the Gu family members, even Chen Xuan was stunned.
He, the one who destroyed the Gu family's spirit pool, was the Son of Destiny of the Gu family.
Are you a fraud?
Gu Hongjiang didn't quite believe it, "Master Zhang, you're not joking, are you? This kid might be related to the destruction of the spirit pool?"
Zhang Ding Tian replied, "Every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. This young man appearing near the spirit pool was all decided by heaven. Do you think I would misjudge?"
Gu Honglong quickly said, "Of course not! Master Zhang is someone my Gu family trusts!"
After speaking, Gu Honglong immediately said, "Mr. Ye, is it? We have offended you greatly before. I will immediately have them apologize to you!"
Gu Honglong then looked at Gu Yongming, "Gu Yongming, why aren't you apologizing to Mr. Ye quickly!!"
"What? You want me to apologize to him? Patriarch, you must be mistaken. This fellow might be related to the destruction of the spirit pool. How can he be the Son of Destiny? I think he's the bane of our Gu family."
Gu Yongming shouted.
He didn't believe that Chen Xuan was the Son of Destiny.
"It seems your Gu family doesn't believe what I say?" Zhang Ding Tian sneered.
Gu Honglong shouted, "Shut up! Why aren't you apologizing quickly? Otherwise, you'll be punished by family law!"
Gu Yongming's expression changed, but he chose to compromise for the time being, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
After saying that, he left without looking back, flicking his sleeves.
"Mr. Ye, it was my Ye family's haste that put you in the dungeon. I will immediately arrange accommodation for you."
Gu Honglong immediately arranged accommodation for Chen Xuan.
Soon, a Gu family servant walked over, "Mr. Ye, this way please!"
Chen Xuan did not move. Instead, he said to Gu Honglong, "Patriarch Gu, since I have no issues, shouldn't Gu Yulong and Gu Lingyun's punishment be canceled!"
"Not only are they not guilty, but they have also made contributions and should be rewarded handsomely. I will discuss it with the elders later."
"Then I'll be relieved."
Only then did Chen Xuan follow the servant away.
Previously, Chen Xuan was assigned to the living quarters of the lowest-ranking attendants, but this time he was assigned to the place where the highest-ranking guests were received.
"Son of Destiny? I'm actually the Son of Destiny of the Gu family? Could it be that my previous divination was wrong?"
In the room, Chen Xuan was incredulous.
He had previously calculated his relationship with the Gu family, which was naturally adversarial, but now Zhang Ding Tian, the sect master of Longhu Mountain, said he was the Son of Destiny of the Gu family.
However, when he did his divination back then, he didn't use anything and couldn't conceal the heavenly secrets, so there might have been an error.
He considered himself to be very skilled in fortune-telling, but there was still a certain gap between him and the sect master of Longhu Mountain.
For a moment, Chen Xuan couldn't figure it out.
However, the current situation was quite good for him. At least Gu Lingyun and Gu Yulong would not be implicated by him, nor would the Vermilion Bird lineage.
Chen Xuan was not sleepy at all, but after a thrilling night, dawn had arrived, and drowsiness washed over him. He lay on the bed and fell asleep.
But he hadn't slept for half an hour when Chen Xuan suddenly woke up and said to the window, "Who is it?"
He sensed that someone was at the window.
