In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Ling Tuisi was furious.

Although he had little affection for his daughter, Gu Hanyuan's words were an insult to him.

..... ....... .......

"I can give Shuanghua to you first, but Qifang is not so easy to handle. I need time."

In Ling Tuisi's mind, Ling Shuanghua's value was greatly reduced after her appearance was ruined, and Qi Fang was definitely more valuable in comparison.

Therefore, Ling Shuanghua can be handed over to Gu Hanyuan first, but Qi Fang should be kept in her own hands to prevent Gu Hanyuan from turning against her after obtaining Qi Fang.

He figured that handing Ling Shuanghua over to Gu Hanyuan was indeed a beneficial thing, as it would not only allow him to keep track of her movements but also give him an opportunity to find out the password and steal the "Selected Tang Poems".

This would be a perfect opportunity to destroy Ding Dian's mental support. If they could find out the secret of the treasure in advance, they wouldn't need to make any deal with Gu Hanyuan.

He could also make Ding Dian and Gu Hanyuan fight to the death, and then he could reap the benefits.

Ling Tuisi had always intended to keep the treasure for himself; he was merely feigning compliance at this moment.

He judged others by his own standards, believing that Gu Hanyuan would not honestly agree to the deal, and that he would strike first once he learned the secret of the treasure.

Even Ding Dian couldn't withstand the Golden Wave Flower Poison, so he didn't think Wu Tian would be immune to it.

"Very well, then Prefect Ling may now take me to see your daughter."

Gu Hanyuan looked impatient.

"It's getting late, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Ling Tuisi wanted to stall for time a little longer, at least to give Ling Shuanghua some instructions.

"Prefect Ling, it seems we have some guests."

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly; he had already noticed a large number of people rushing into the government office.

Chapter 79: Manipulating Ling Tuisi

Just then, Ding Dian escaped from prison and met Ling Shuanghua outside her gate, where they poured out their hearts to each other.

Ding Dian originally planned to take Ling Shuanghua with him, but he learned from Ling Shuanghua that she had disfigured herself and made a solemn vow never to see her again.

Although he was heartbroken, he still chose to respect Ling Shuanghua's decision.

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Ling Shuanghua panicked and wanted to ask Ding Dian to save her father, Ling Tuisi.

“Brother Ding, my father can’t die. If my father dies, I will have no relatives left in this world.”

Hearing this, Ding Dian had no choice but to agree.

After observing from the shadows, he discovered that it was Bao Xiang from the Blood Blade Sect who had led his followers to attack.

The guards of the government office were just strong and ordinary people. Even with a few bows and arrows as an aid, they were still defeated by the Blood Blade Sect.

"Wu Tian, ​​could you lend this mansion a hand?"

Seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed, Ling Tuisi looked to Gu Hanyuan for help with a flicker in his eyes.

"This is outside the scope of my business."

Gu Hanyuan immediately realized that Ling Tuisi wanted to take the opportunity to test his martial arts skills.

Ling Tuisi was annoyed, but he also knew that Gu Hanyuan was the type of person who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit.

Just as he was hesitating, Bao Xiang saw Ling Tuis appear and decided to capture the leader first, so he pounced on him directly.

Bao Xiang only possessed martial prowess and was overconfident in his strength. Upon seeing the strangely dressed Gu Hanyuan, he regarded him as Ling Tuisi's bodyguard and paid him no attention.

Bao Xiang's strength is indeed quite good. As long as he doesn't run into any renowned masters, he should have no problem running rampant in the Song Kingdom.

Although Ling Tuisi was once the leader of the Lianghu Longsha Gang and was very famous, his martial arts skills have long since declined since he became the prefect of Jingzhou in order to obtain the "Liancheng Jue" treasure. He has been racking his brains every day to plan how to obtain the treasure.

Therefore, he was no match for Bao Xiang at all, and was kicked away after a few moves.

Ling Tuisi, no longer concerned with figuring out Gu Hanyuan's thoughts, hurriedly sought help.

"Wu Tian, ​​help me quickly, I will hand over Shuang Hua to you tonight."

Ding Dian had intended to help Ling Tuisi when he saw him in danger, but when he heard these words, it was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Bao Xiang initially didn't think much of it, but suddenly a sense of crisis struck him, and he instinctively held the knife in his hand to his chest.

A sharp sword aura pierced through Bao Xiang's hand, knocking the knife away and stabbing him in the chest, causing blood to gush out.

He clutched his wound and backed away, still shaken. He thought to himself that if he hadn't blocked the blow with the knife, he would already be meeting the King of Hell.

Then everyone saw Gu Hanyuan walk into the arena with a leisurely air.

Although Bao Xiang was too arrogant and didn't care much about other experts, he didn't recognize Wu Tian's identity.

Seeing that Bao Xiang looked completely clueless, a Blood Blade Sect disciple hurriedly stepped forward to explain the recent reputation of Wu Tian's identity.

The other disciples of the Blood Blade Sect weren't as stupid as him. The most important thing when traveling the martial world is to have good eyesight; otherwise, you won't even know when you've run into a brick wall.

After hearing this, Bao Xiang might have been dismissive if he hadn't seen Gu Hanyuan in action, but having just suffered a serious injury, he wasn't stupid. He looked at Gu Hanyuan warily and slowly backed away.

Although Ding Dian had never heard of Wu Tian's name before, he was still taken aback when he saw Wu Tian's sword qi attack.

Especially after hearing Ling Tuisi's words, her eyes were filled with hostility as she looked at Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care what Ding Dian was thinking. Since he had already made a move, he had to show enough strength to force Ling Tuisi to act quickly, lest things get complicated.

"The Blood Sabre Sect only has one notable figure, the Blood Sabre Ancestor; his disciples are nothing but good-for-nothings."

Bao Xiang was somewhat annoyed after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, but being weaker, he didn't even dare to refute them and could only remain vigilant.

"I never expected that my ancestor would be noticed by Lord Wutian. I am quite flattered."

Suddenly, a bald old man in a monk's robe jumped into the arena. It turned out to be Blood Saber Ancestor, who was somewhat worried about Bao Xiang. He hadn't expected to run into a tough opponent.

He didn't bother to hide his tracks and directly pleaded with Gu Hanyuan for mercy.

"Could you spare this stupid disciple's life for the sake of the Ancestor?"

Blood Blade Ancestor was a rare villain with a relatively clear mind. He knew that his disciples' potential was generally average, and Bao Xiang's aptitude was also limited, making it impossible for him to break through to the Grandmaster realm. However, since Bao Xiang was the strongest disciple under his tutelage, he would try his best to protect him.

"I'm sure even the Blood Blade Ancestor has heard of my style of doing things. Anyone who can withstand one of my attacks will survive..."

It's more appropriate to leave Blood Blade Ancestor to Gu Hanyuan to use as his own identity to gain reputation; killing him as Wutian wouldn't make much sense.

When Gu Hanyuan was in Dali, he deliberately created various situations where people would "take my move" so that he would have a reason to let the other party go if there were situations where killing them would not be very profitable.

After all, Gu Hanyuan, with his Wutian identity, could unleash his power without restraint, and there were few in the entire Song Kingdom who could fight him to a draw.

Blood Blade Ancestor had certainly heard these rumors, but he never expected to experience them himself. Helpless, he could only concentrate and deal with it.

Gu Hanyuan released the sea, without even taking out the Demon Sword.

Since mastering "Sword Twenty-Three" and being able to use "Six Meridian Divine Sword" freely, he can now completely unleash sword energy with his fingers.

He directly waved his hand and shot out three sword energies towards Blood Blade Ancestor.

Seeing the three sword energies shooting towards him in a triangular formation, Blood Blade Ancestor used all his strength to unleash the Blood Blade Technique to defend himself, barely managing to block two of the sword energies. The third sword energy was already about to hit his face.

In a moment of panic, he rolled awkwardly on the ground to avoid it.

But a deep, bone-revealing bloodstain was still left on his cheek.

Blood Blade Ancestor got up from the ground, looking at Gu Hanyuan in the distance with lingering fear. Gu Hanyuan hadn't moved an inch and seemed to completely ignore him. He felt incredibly lucky to be alive.

Even if the entire Blood Blade Sect were to die before them, they would never dare to stand up for Gu Hanyuan again.

"Thank you for your mercy. I will definitely keep my distance from you in the future."

After finishing his speech, Blood Blade Ancestor was afraid that Gu Hanyuan would change his mind, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. Without even saying goodbye to his disciples, he jumped onto the roof and fled.

Of course, the Blood Saber Sect disciples weren't stupid either. Bao Xiang and others saw that the Blood Saber Ancestor had left, so they hurriedly made their way to escape.

"Wu Tian, ​​why don't you kill them?"

Ling Tuisi questioned Gu Hanyuan with a grim expression.

"When did you get the idea that I'm already under your control? One Ling Shuanghua isn't enough for me to kill someone."

Gu Hanyuan stared coldly at Ling Tuisi, his voice icy and filled with murderous intent.

Having served as prefect for a long time, Ling Tuisi was always in a superior position and it took him a while to change his habit of being in control.

Of course, there was also a part of the intention to test the waters, to see if they could recruit Gu Hanyuan to their side.

Chapter 80: Miss Ling, I only want you.

Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, he immediately dared not act like a prefect anymore. Furthermore, after witnessing his unpredictable martial arts skills, he hurriedly tried to curry favor with him.

"I acted rashly in a moment of panic, and I have no intention of blaming you. I will take you to see Shuanghua now."

Gu Hanyuan looked at Ling Tuisi, who had suddenly given in, with a deep gaze.

He thought to himself: This old fox is indeed incredibly audacious. After witnessing my martial arts skills, he still dared to test me. He must already be plotting how to deal with me. It's nothing more than using Jin Bo Xun Hua or employing Ding Dian as a fisherman.

As expected, Ding Dian, who was secretly observing, was glaring at the two of them with gritted teeth. However, because he was wary of Gu Hanyuan's martial arts skills, he did not intend to make trouble on the spot.

Ling Tuisi looked at Gu Hanyuan with a flustered expression, wondering if she had gone too far in testing him.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan only stared at him for a while before looking away.
