Black Book

Chapter 377 Don’t be ignorant

"Then I'll trouble you to go and ask for an audience again, Master. I must ask the ancestor to come out and help!"

"That's right, only the Spirit Sword Ancestor can suppress the fierce and powerful Duke Yu!"

"Master, please put the overall situation first!"

………………

Faced with everyone's pleas, the head of Lingjian Peak sighed helplessly.

"I can only try my best..."

However, before he finished his words, a calm and old voice sounded in his ears.

"No need, I'm out of seclusion now."

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and an old man with a fairy-like appearance, wearing linen clothes, with white hair and a youthful face appeared beside the headmaster of Lingjian Peak, looking solemnly in the direction of the gate.

"Meet the Spirit Sword Ancestor!"

Seeing this legendary living fossil-like figure, everyone seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, and an endless sense of security suddenly surged in their hearts.

However, at this moment, their backbone had a gloomy face and a frown on his face.

Soon realizing something was wrong, everyone followed his gaze and saw several leisurely figures slowly approaching.

Leading the group was a young man dressed in a gorgeous dark black brocade robe. His flawless facial features were handsome to the point of being somewhat evil, and his gaze exuded a strange, oppressive feeling that made people dare not look directly at him.

In the arms of the young man in black was a delicate little girl, her big, crystal clear eyes looking around curiously, without any restraint or tension caused by being watched by powerful people.

Behind the two men, a tall and plump woman lagged behind them half a step, following them in a low-key manner.

Everyone guessed the identity of the person in question in an instant, and looked nervously at the black-clothed young man who was slowly approaching. Only the Spirit Sword Patriarch was staring at the woman behind the young man.

"Gui Huan! You are not dead yet!"

Hearing the gnashing whisper, Gui Huan slowly raised her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with the corners of her mouth curled up in a smile.

"Gao Haochen, you're not dead either, are you?"

"Humph!"

Gao Haochen snorted coldly, his eyes moving between the black-clothed boy and Gui Huan, and sneered.

"I never thought that the first leader of the Demon Cult, who was so unruly, would become a lackey of the imperial court!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked and immediately turned their eyes to the woman behind the young man.

The first leader of the evil cult?

This legendary figure just appeared like this? !

But... why is she following Duke Yu?
Apparently, he was very respectful...

For a moment, everyone looked at the young man in black with more fear and trepidation, and they understood something in their hearts.

Even the first leader of the Demon Cult was subdued. This is much more difficult than killing her!
"A man who knows the times is a hero. Gao Haochen, it's your turn now..."

Faintly sensing Gui Huan's gloating, Gao Haochen looked at the leading young man with a gloomy face and asked in a low voice.

"Are you Duke Yu, Li Lin?"

"Exactly."

"What is the purpose of your uninvited visit?"

"kill."

boom!
One stone can cause a thousand ripples. No one expected that the young man in black would be so arrogant and domineering, and he did not hide his true intentions at all. Everyone present slammed the table and glared at him.

Seeing this, Zhu Haomiao sneered and pressed down slightly with one hand.

"Don't be afraid. I have a kind heart and I cannot bear to see bloodshed. As long as you are sensible, I will not kill you."

However, this consolation made everyone even more angry. Qu Fanshuang drew the sword on his back and rushed towards the young man in black without fear.

"You dog officer, prepare to die!" "Shuang'er, stop it!"

He knew that his beloved disciple was fearless like a newborn calf, but he didn't expect her to be so ferocious. The head of Lingjian Peak trembled all over and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

But after all, she was a genius that only appeared once in a century. Qu Fanshuang combined her body with the sword and transformed into a cold spiritual light. In a hurry, even the head master couldn't catch up with her.

On the other side, facing this reckless attack, Zhu Haomiao was not moved at all. Instead, Gui Huan behind him raised her eyes and glanced at Qu Fanshuang.

There seemed to be a vortex spinning in those strange eyes, and the materialized sight penetrated the sword light and instantly pierced into Qu Fanshuang's soul.

It was as if a steel needle pierced into the center of her eyebrows. Qu Fanshuang's delicate body trembled, and her thick and condensed true energy disintegrated in an instant like snow meeting the scorching sun.

It felt like the back of his head was hit by a heavy hammer. His brain was buzzing, his consciousness was blank, his whole body was numb and sore, he couldn't even lift the sword that was as light as a feather. He knelt down involuntarily.

thorn lala~
With the inertia of the sprint, Qu Fanshuang slid all the way to his knees and finally stopped right in front of Zhu Haomiao.

"........."

"........."

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Qu Fanshuang's scattered mind gradually regained clarity. His dull and empty vision slowly focused, and he looked up at the black-clothed boy in confusion.

"Get up, it's not New Year yet."

The whispering that could not be suppressed reached Qu Fanshuang's ears, and two red clouds instantly rose on her snow-white face. She clenched her fists, and her whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"You and I……"

"It's our first meeting, so there's no need for such a big gift. I don't have any gift prepared."

"........."

After a brief silence, Qu Fanshuang grabbed the fallen sword and screamed in anger.

"Evil thief, suffer..."

"enough!"

A low shout came from behind, and Qu Fanshuang instantly flew into the air, flying backwards uncontrollably, and was pulled to the side of Gao Haochen.

"Duke Yu spared your life, don't be ungrateful!"

"I……"

Hearing the ancestor's scolding, Qu Fanshuang, who had never experienced setbacks in her life, bit her lips unwillingly and glared at Zhu Haomiao hatefully.

Until this moment, she still didn't believe how strong a yellow-haired boy who was a few years younger than her could be!

If she hadn't been suppressed by the Demon Cult leader just now, she would have captured that arrogant boy long ago!

On the other side, Gao Haochen grabbed Qu Fanshuang's shoulders, protected her behind him, and stared at Zhu Haomiao.

Only when one reaches his level can one vaguely glimpse what a terrifying monster is hidden beneath the childish skin of the young man in black.

In a trance, Gao Haochen felt like he was facing a brutal giant carnivore through an iron cage. Even though the other party did not show its fangs, the greed and hunger that was inadvertently revealed still made his scalp tingle.

"A guest is a guest. Since Duke Yu is willing to negotiate, please take a seat."

Facing Gao Haochen's temptation, Zhu Haomiao smiled and nodded, then walked into the hall without hesitation.

Amidst countless fearful and hostile gazes, the young man in black strode to the top with Zhao Nuo in his arms and sat down in the host's seat. Gui Huan, who was as powerful as the deep sea, stood respectfully at his side, like a docile maid.

"........."

Everyone subconsciously glanced at the headmaster of Lingjian Peak, but found that he was watching his nose and his heart, as if he did not notice the black-clothed boy's transgression.

"What are you standing for? Sit down."

Faced with Zhu Haomiao's call to the Anti-Tiangang, everyone could only turn their eyes to Gao Haochen.

Gao Haochen, who looked like a sage, pulled over a chair and sat side by side with Zhu Haomiao.

Seeing that the head of Lingjian Peak could only stand behind the ancestor like a minion, everyone could only stand and wait for the two bosses to negotiate.
