Dark Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 72 The Hunt
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen!
The seventh young master of the Gu family suddenly appeared in the Changfeng Society and became the vice president, second only to one person and above hundreds of people.
This gave Zhang Qing a vague feeling that this usually stable gang was about to enter a turbulent period, and that he might even get involved in some trouble.
Sure enough, trouble struck within days.
This Seventh Young Master Gu actually issued a summons, dispatching some of his inner and outer disciples to accompany him in hunting the ancient ruins!
Upon receiving this order, the Changfeng Society was thrown into an uproar.
Everyone felt that Vice Chairman Gu was messing things up.
Ancient ruins are not safe hunting grounds. Even in areas that have been repeatedly raided, it is quite normal for strange things to suddenly appear.
And the target of the hunt is a ferocious beast.
The ancient ruins now inhabited by numerous ferocious beasts are all very close to the Black Mist Zone, and their level of danger is self-evident.
Furthermore, anyone with experience in hunting in the wild knows that the more people involved in the hunt, the more likely it is to attract evil spirits.
This is because the larger the crowd, the stronger the aura of life it emits.
The more it attracts, the more terrifying and evil it becomes.
There have been extremely tragic examples in the past, so teams exploring ancient ruins are usually small groups of three to five people, or at most eight or nine people.
Gu Qishao went to such great lengths, mobilizing over a hundred gang members to hunt down the ancient ruins.
Is this serious?
Everyone hoped that Gu Changfeng could stop this spoiled young master's outrageous behavior.
However, just before Gu Qishao issued the summons, Gu Changfeng had already gone into seclusion at Linfeng Pavilion to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Now, no one can control Gu Qishao.
Even the three elders and four hall masters couldn't stop him. It's said that one of the elders was even reprimanded by this young master, losing all face.
Moreover, their attempts to dissuade them only further enraged Gu Qishao.
This newly appointed vice president is determined to use this hunt to establish his prestige.
Anyone who dares to block his way is his enemy!
Under these circumstances, a hunting party consisting of fifty inner hall disciples, seventy outer hall members, an elder, and two hall masters escorted the arrogant Seventh Young Master Gu as they left Qing'an Town in a grand procession and headed to the ancient ruins located on the edge of the Black Mist District.
This "expedition" by the Changfeng Association caused a great sensation in the camp.
Many people stood on the roadside watching the spectacle.
Gu Qishao, the vice chairman, became the focus of everyone's attention.
This spoiled young master of the Gu family wore a monk's robe, rode a white-maned horse with horns on its forehead, and was accompanied by elite guards on both sides, looking down on everyone.
Throughout the journey, he maintained a reserved smile.
He's incredibly good at showing off!
Zhang Qing, mingling with the accompanying group, couldn't suppress his urge to complain.
He was unlucky to be chosen to participate in this hunting operation.
To ensure his safety, Zhang Qing carried all the talismans he possessed with him at all times, and even expended precious energy to enhance a Swiftness Talisman.
That way, if he encounters danger, he can escape as quickly as possible.
As for disobeying orders...
Zhang Qing didn't want to be branded a traitor and have a bounty placed on his head by the Changfeng Society.
Given Gu Qishao's temper, he's absolutely capable of doing something like that!
Therefore, Zhang Qing could only act according to circumstances.
But expecting him to risk his life for Gu Qishao is absolutely impossible!
The long column left the camp and then quickened its pace, heading southwest.
The destination of this hunt was about 20 to 30 miles away from Qing'anji.
Zhang Qing felt that the elders and hall masters of the Changfeng Society were not fools. Even if they could not disobey Gu Qishao's decision, they would not put this important force of the gang in danger. The location they chose must have been carefully considered.
I just hope nothing bad happens.
The hunting party moved swiftly in silence, and after an hour's trek, they finally arrived at a vast ancient ruin.
This ancient ruin is only a few miles away from the black fog area. Because the black tide has receded quite far today, some areas that are usually shrouded in black fog have been revealed, and some animals that are active in them can be seen.
"good."
Gu Qishao, who had been cycling all the way here, looked around and nodded slightly, saying, "Elder Gao, the place you chose is good."
Elder Gao, who was accompanying them, twitched his eye and replied, "I'm glad you're satisfied."
He was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his prestige in the Changfeng Association was second only to Gu Changfeng, who had always treated him with great courtesy and never neglected him.
But in front of this young master of the Gu family, Elder Gao felt like a servant.
At most, they were just retainers.
They receive absolutely no respect or trust!
"hehe."
Gu Qishao smiled, reached into his storage bag and pulled out a longbow made of animal horn, along with a quiver of arrows.
He said lazily, "Let's begin."
Elder Gao gave Pang Yi, the head of the outer hall next to him, a wink. The latter nodded, raised a command flag, and waved it vigorously a few times.
It has the air of a military formation.
Teams quickly dispersed and entered the ancient ruins in batches from different directions.
The tasks for everyone had already been assigned: the inner disciples were responsible for driving away the prey, while the outer disciples were responsible for plugging any leaks. They were to drive the prey as far as possible toward the area where Gu Qishao was located, making it easier for the vice leader to shoot him.
As for Elder Gao and the two hall masters, they naturally stayed by each other's side, providing strict protection.
After all, if anything happens to Young Master Gu, they will definitely be buried with him!
This was something that the head of the meeting, Changfeng, had repeatedly told them before, and they all kept it in mind.
Anyone in the Changfeng Society can die.
Young Master Gu must not die!
哔~
Accompanied by a sharp whistle, a grand hunting operation was launched.
Zhang Qing and the outer gang members of the third night patrol followed behind another inner gang, heading deeper into the ancient ruins.
Before long, the search party drove out of the bushes and woods where the deer, gazelles, badgers, rabbits and other animals were hiding.
The animals that inhabit the ancient ruins are constantly tainted and influenced by the evil energy of the black mist, and many of them have strange and ferocious temperaments; they are not gentle and timid creatures.
Faced with the well-trained members of the Long Wind Society who could also cast spells, they had no courage to fight back and all fled in panic!
In their panic and confusion, these prey unknowingly entered a pre-ordained deadly trap.
"good!"
Seeing the prey appearing one after another, Gu Qishao, sitting on horseback, was very excited and immediately drew his longbow and nocked an arrow.
He began his solo performance.
call out!call out!call out!
Arrows whistled through the air, felling one after another deer and gazelle to the ground.
As for badgers and hares, they were simply ignored by this spoiled young master.
