Inside a luxurious villa in the suburbs of Shonan City.
"How could Bai Yu be beaten like this?!"
Bai Yu was discovered in the grove of Orange Island by the special forces released by Li Xiang in the early morning, and was then sent to this villa.
Bai Yu is lying on the bed, with all his limbs intact, but after a night of torture by Li Xiang, he is now unconscious and his body is extremely weak. The body of a Huajin master can cause such harm. How inhumane torture has he endured?
"Master Bai's life is not seriously affected, but his hands and feet have been artificially broken. In the future, he needs to calm down and apply medicine." A doctor from the Bai family said.
After all, Li Xiang considered Gu Taozhi's face and didn't cut him into a human pig, but he still had to be punished and a lesson had to be given!
"That kid was a bit merciful. Isn't he afraid of the Bai family's subsequent revenge? It's hard to achieve great things with such a heart."
Gu Zhongtian stood behind the crowd, his eyes full of regret.
If the Bai family loses a Huajin master, the losses to the Bai family will be immeasurable, and their Gu family's status will once again be firmly in the first place!
"What do you think?" Gu Zhongtian asked the man following him.
"Sir, I think the second young lady used the eldest lady's relationship to plead for mercy. Li Xiang originally wanted to kill Bai Yu, but he stopped because of the eldest lady's face." The man answered truthfully.
"In this case, does Li Xiang really have such ability? Is it possible that he is also a master of personal power?" Gu Zhongtian asked.
"Mr. Gu, that boy single-handedly injured one of our teams led by Ji Jin, and the other team was injured by his female companion! The physical skills and strength of the two of them are far beyond that of ordinary warriors.
Not afraid of bullets!" One of Bai Yu's subordinates said through gritted teeth.
"If the intelligence hadn't been wrong, we wouldn't have been so passive!"
Gu Zhongtian and Gu Zhongtian looked a little uncomfortable when they heard this. The 'Li Xiang's female companion' mentioned by Bai Yu's subordinates was the eldest lady of their Gu family.
However, their information was wrong and they did not recognize it was Gu Taozhi. They hoped that Gu Taozhi would be prepared to cover his face that day, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the Gu family if they were found.
Seriously speaking, if the Bai family is found out later, there is nothing the Bai family can do against the Gu family.
But the Bai family can unite with the other two families in the capital to suppress the Gu family, especially since Li Xiang has provoked the three families of Gu Wang and Bai one after another!
"Are you also a master of Huajin? How far have you practiced? Is it the middle stage? Or the late stage?" the man in Chinese tunic suit asked following the clues.
One of the people captured by Li Xiang said excitedly, "He is not the master of Huajin!"
"No? Could it be Tianjin?"
Gu Zhongtian glanced at the young man beside him and asked in confusion.
Since when have warriors become so arrogant that they don’t need money?
The Gu family can firmly occupy the top spot among the aristocratic families in the capital because of the man in Chinese tunic suit next to them.
"No, he has no energy! We couldn't feel the energy at all before we were unconscious, and it's unknown whether the meridians are connected or not!" the subordinate then replied.
"What's going on? In this world, aren't there only three masters who are above Huajin? How come there is another Prime Minister Li? Could it be that he is a disciple of 'Qianlong'?" Gu Zhongtian was very puzzled.
The young man in Chinese tunic suit on the side shook his head and said in denial, "The warrior has basically isolated himself from the world after reaching the level of Huajin. In order to pursue a higher realm, he basically does not appear in the world. Now there are indeed only three people on the surface."
"If you want to reach a higher realm, without the guidance of an expert, it is impossible to create a Huajin master in such a short period of time! Bai Yu and I are in similar situations. We both have the guidance of an expert, practiced martial arts at a young age, and have abundant resources.
To such an extent.”
"I think Li Xiang is just a college student who has just entered school. He is only eighteen or nineteen years old. If he can defeat Bai Yu, I think he is more like..."
"What is it?" Gu Zhongtian was very curious about this question.
"No, I must have guessed wrong. I still have to see with my own eyes to determine the boy's specific situation."
The man in Chinese tunic suit stopped guessing.
In a world with such weak spiritual energy, practicing martial arts is already quite difficult.
But in comparison, cultivating Taoism is more difficult than practicing martial arts, and it is even more impossible!
The threshold for cultivating Taoism is higher, and cultivation resources are scarcer. Needless to say, this goes without saying.
What's more, Xiang Li is only 18 or 19 years old this year. How could he still start practicing cultivation right from his mother's womb?
"Uncle Gu, this Li Xiang killed my brother Wang Qianzhi and also killed Uncle Zhongjin. I must avenge this!"
Not only the Gu and Bai family, but Wang Dezhi of the Wang family is also here.
"I have now contacted the family and sent two experts over overnight. I want him to know that one person's blood is not enough to repay!"
Wang Dezhi was so angry that when he mentioned Li Xiang, his palms still ached.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he is very excited!
"Do you think the master is worshiped by the Wang family?" Gu Zhongtian asked with a frown.
"Yes, that's the two of them!" Wang Dezhi looked arrogant and nodded.
"This Prime Minister Li has once offended the three major families of Gu, Wang and Bai in the capital. Even if the young lady pleads for mercy, it will be difficult for her to survive tonight!"
The young man in Chinese tunic suit pinched his chin and said.
Gu Zhongtian's eyes flickered, because this boy was very close to his daughter, and because of his extraordinary potential, it was not impossible to win him over to the Gu family.
But even if he has the intention to win over, this person killed his younger brother, and he cannot explain it to his family until he is solved. In a word, that is -
When three families gather together, it’s hard for the gods to save them!
After class in the afternoon, Li Xiang hurriedly took Che Yushi to the rooftop where the sky was full of views.
I was wondering if it would be possible to arrange a few more for Gu Taozhi to use himself.
Although I don’t know the other person’s cultivation level, it is better than nothing and it would be good if I could improve my cultivation level a little bit.
On the rooftop.
Gu Taozhi stood in the formation and looked around to see if there was anything else that could be moved and optimized.
"Hey, husband, are you out of class?"
Seeing Li Xiang, Gu Taozhi's face lit up with joy, and she ran over to help.
"Ang, yes, I bought some more jade. Can you see if I can put up a few more formations and you can use them too?" Li Xiang walked in personally pulling a trailer.
Li Xiang promised to make Gu Taozhi very useful, and said angrily, "What are you wasting money on? This array can only be used in one array to maximize its use. Otherwise, the spiritual energy will be divided into two arrays, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"
Although Gu Taozhi didn't value money, it seemed that it was difficult to do anything without money, so he had to use this reason to accuse him.
"That's it. I was thinking that you have been busy recently, and you also set up formations to let you absorb some spiritual energy. It's hard to say how to improve your cultivation, but at least you can recover faster."
Li Xiang didn't think much about it. Although he felt a little worried about the money, Gu Taozhi's efforts seemed like a drop in the bucket in comparison.
After hearing this, Gu Taozhi's happiness level increased exponentially, so much so that a layer of mist filled her big eyes when she looked at Li Xiang.
"Hey, did I say something wrong?" Li Xiang saw that the other party did not speak. When he lowered his head, he saw the other party's wet and misty eyes, thinking that he had said something wrong.
"No, I didn't inhale." Gu Taozhi's nose was sore. The feeling of being cared about by Li Xiang made her feel like she was in another world. The strong sense of unreality made her a little overwhelmed. She had to hold Li Xiang's arm and lowered her eyes in panic.
He said word by word in a low voice,
"As long as you can open up the meridians quickly, these are all trivial matters."
After saying that, Gu Taozhi directly hugged Li Xiang's waist and retracted into his arms.
This series of actions made Li Xiang's mind go blank, his head was covered with sweat, and he had no idea what to do.
He was still a little virgin and had never even interacted with female classmates when he was in school. How could he know how to deal with this kind of thing?
"Okay, I will definitely live up to my expectations and strive to open up the meridians as soon as possible!"
Li Xiang sighed heavily, and had no choice but to imitate his grandfather's gesture of comforting him when he was bullied as a child, and patted the other person's back gently.
"Yeah." Gu Taozhi responded softly.
I don't know how long it took, but after Gu Taozhi calmed down a bit, she covered her face and ran out as if running away. After saying, "I'm going to wash my face, you can start practicing by yourself!", her back disappeared on the rooftop.
Li Xiang took a look at the surrounding formations, found the central position, and started meditating without saying a word, and the grounding method naturally began to work.
By night, a large amount of spiritual energy had accumulated on the rooftop.
The surrounding jade stones emitted a soft light under the moonlight, guiding the surrounding spiritual energy to surround Li Xiang's body.
The surroundings of Li Xiang's body became more and more transparent, and the body exuded a light like white jade, making the meridians clearly visible. With the movement of his mind, spiritual energy entered from his mouth and nose, and was transported to the limbs and bones of the body, filling it with
His body baptized his body again and again.
As time goes by, the inhaled spiritual energy gradually forms an energy vortex in his Qihai Dantian, and continues to expand.
At this time, Gu Taozhi also changed his clothes and came to the rooftop early, watching Li Xiang with a surprised and uncertain expression.
It's not that I'm amazed at the amount of spiritual energy, but that Li Xiang clearly opened up the meridians, but it gives people the feeling of an immortal transcending tribulation.
How terrifying is this?
If it were said that Li Xiang's cultivation level was higher than his own after the meridians were opened, Gu Taozhi would not have the slightest doubt!
As time passed by, Gu Taozhi became more and more nervous.
This will not only solve the doubts in her heart, but also witness an unprecedented moment!
It's past twelve o'clock, in the dead of night, when the spiritual energy is most abundant, and there is no competition from other cultivators.
In a word, it is the right time, right place, and right people.
Gu Taozhi could completely feel the changes in Li Xiang's body, the kind of rebirth that was like a phoenix rising from the nirvana!
After tonight, Prime Minister Li's meridians will definitely be opened!
"Dingle bell——"
At this moment, Gu Taozhi's phone rang.
Gu Taozhi picked up the phone with some displeasure and looked at it. The familiar phone number startled her, and she immediately changed her look as if she had just woken up, and answered the call.
"Taozhi, where are you now?" Gu Zhongtian asked straight to the point.
Gu Taozhi was stunned, and instantly replied with a tone that sounded like he had just woken up,
"Ah, Dad? I'm sleeping in the house I bought outside. Dad, what can you do at this late hour?"
"Is Mr. Li with you?" Gu Zhongtian asked next.
Gu Taozhi's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at Li Xiang warily, and then said jokingly, "How could it be so fast? We just started talking, how could we live together so soon."
"Then you come here first, come to Fuyun Villa, it's urgent!" Gu Zhongtian said with a tone that could not be refused.
"Ah, Dad, have you come to Shonan? But what time is it now? Let's talk about anything tomorrow." Gu Taozhi declined with a girl's unique temper.
"This matter is related to the death of your third uncle. How dare you not come?" Gu Zhongtian said directly.
"All right."
After Gu Taozhi chatted with Gu Zhongtian for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
Gu Taozhi looked at Li Xiang who was meditating, and left with a look of regret in his eyes.
Fuyun Villa, inside the villa built by Ren Shan.
Since Tang Hailou lived too far away, he chose Renshan Jianjia, which is closer to the city.
Gu Zhongtian gave the order and within a short time, all the young and old of the Tang and Ren families were arrested. No one was missed.
"It turns out that I am from the Gu family in Beijing. How could I offend such a master..." Ren Shanjian said regretfully with a sad face.
"Let me tell you, how many Gu families are there in the capital? If I had known it was this Gu family, I would not have dared to offend him even if I had a hundred courages." Tang Hailou said in despair.
In addition to the two members of the Gu family, there were also more than twenty special bodyguards brought by Bai Yu, and two Taoist-looking figures in Taoist robes brought by Wang Dezhi.
Today, the Tang and Ren families are already the top figures in Shonan City, but they still seem like children playing house, and they are like a joke in the face of real strength.
"Who killed Gu Zhongjin?"
Gu Zhongtian's voice was loud and strong, like an overlord.
Everywhere he looked, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
"Although you two are certainly hateful, I will not kill people indiscriminately. I will only find evidence and use legitimate means to turn you into ordinary people. I will not care about the rest."
Gu Zhongtian changed the subject, "But I will definitely bring the person who killed my third brother Gu Zhongjin to justice!"
Gu Zhongtian himself occupies a high position, has profound means, and is good at speaking in some scenes.
As long as these people are transformed into ordinary people by some means, those who have grudges against them will naturally be able to help Gu Zhongtian deal with them, and he doesn't have to worry at all.
After saying that, Tang Ren trembled and his head lowered with a guilty conscience.
This action naturally attracted the attention of the man in tunic suit.
"Master, that person is most likely the murderer."
"Okay, then just help me." Gu Zhongtian nodded.
"dad!"
"No, no! You can't kill my son!"
Tang Hailou and Tang Wangshu's minds went blank for a moment, and they shouted in despair.
The young man in Chinese tunic suit did not hesitate and appeared in front of Tang Ren without even moving his body. He was about to kill him with one palm!
"Dad, it's really lively!"
At this time, a clear female voice came from outside the door.
Gu Taozhi wore hot pants, revealing her long white legs, and walked in with an indifferent expression.
Everyone in the room unanimously focused their attention on her.
Tang Wangshu and Ren Yunyi were particularly shocked.
The last time they saw Gu Taozhi was when he was in a coma, and at that time they could initially see his shocking face.
Now that she appeared in front of them in real life, they were all impressed by her appearance and aristocratic temperament. Just the cut water and autumn eyes she projected on her had a strong aura, which made them look dirty and did not dare to look at her.
Gu Taozhi looked around and found that his father had brought him here.
Tianjin Grand Master——Gu Tian.
Gu Zhongtian's adopted son is extremely talented. His peak strength in the middle stage of Tianjin is only one step away from the late stage of Tianjin.
This is also the foundation for establishing the first aristocratic family in Beijing!
This time Gu Tian also followed, and it was obvious how seriously Gu Zhongtian took this matter.
The identities of the two masters brought by Wang Dezhi are even more mysterious. They are Taoists, one is at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the other is at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
On average, it is equivalent to two late-stage Huajin masters!
Gu Taozhi saw the other party's cultivation level at a glance and felt a little ashamed.
My husband has offended me all over... Li Xiang himself should be just fine against Grandmaster Jijin, but how to face Grandmaster Huajin?
Besides, there are still two!
How did he get into trouble with the Bai family?
Gu Taozhi was tired of running around and didn't pay attention to the situation in his family.
At this time, Gu Yaoyao flew back to the capital in despair, so the two sisters did not encounter each other.
Due to some strange combination of circumstances, Gu Taozhi had no idea what his sister had done.
Gu Taozhi thought quickly, turned the topic to Gu Zhongjin, looked at his father and said, "It doesn't matter whether the third uncle was killed by Li Xiang! The most important thing is that the third uncle colluded with Wang Qianzhi to kill me.
I was kidnapped as a hostage, and during the period I had a video chat with Li Xiang, trying to belittle me on the spot as a means for the Tang family to suppress the Ren family! In the end, it was the old man of the Tang family who saved me!"
"So the third uncle deserves to die!" Gu Taozhi couldn't care about anything else and told everything in one go.
When everyone heard her words, they were all shocked! Especially Wang Dezhi, the brother he had risked his life to save, actually behaved in such a bad way?
You know, just the reputation of kidnapping the eldest daughter of the Gu family and trying to rape a strong woman can make the Wang family unable to hold their head high!
Wang Dezhi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhongjin has a close relationship with our Wang family and is a family friend! Moreover, Uncle Zhongjin died here to avenge Qianzhi! Besides, Uncle Zhongjin watched you grow up, how could he?"
Will it harm you?"
"What does Gu Zhongjin have to do with your Wang family? What does he have to do with me? He came to Xiangnan to find me just to get the 60 million I brought out from the family! If the Ren family hadn't helped me for the sake of Prime Minister Li
, I have been kidnapped back!" Gu Taozhi said unceremoniously.
This is of course referring to Ren Tianhao’s help in exchange for 60 million.
"Taozhi! Why are you talking so little? I taught you all this in vain? How could your third uncle be that kind of person? I asked you for money only after asking me what I meant!" Gu Zhongtian looked at him with a look on his face.
He scolded solemnly and coldly.
"You just said that the Tang and Ren families didn't deal with you, and now you say that they each helped you? That's all nonsense!"
Gu Taozhi also sighed heavily when he saw that his father did not trust him at all and instead spoke for outsiders.
Fortunately, Gu Zhongjin died early in this life, otherwise if he had been allowed to live a few more years, the Gu family would have been swallowed up by the Wang family.
After hearing this, Wang Dezhi was overjoyed. With Mr. Gu's support, why are he still afraid of a Miss Gu who has no reputation?
But his face was indignant and full of hatred as he said, "Well, Sister Gu, I don't think you seem to be being scorned now. So, where is Mr. Li now? I'll tell you the ugly words ahead, even if you hide him.
Get up, I won’t let go of anyone who has anything to do with him!”
As soon as Wang Dezhi said these words, he immediately aroused the recognition of the special bodyguards of the Bai family!
"Li Xiang injured all our brothers!"
"Li Xiang deserves to die! Grandmaster Gu Tian, please take action to capture him!"
"Not only did Li Xiang hurt us, but he also broke our young master's limbs. Two Taoist masters of the Wang family, please catch this Li Xiang!"
With someone at the beginning, the crusade against Prime Minister Li spread like a star on fire!
"Okay, I can take you to find him!"
“But I’m also the first to say something ugly!”
Gu Taozhi's momentum changed immediately, his eyes were as sharp as ice, and he said proudly and without fear,
"If anyone dares to take action against Li Xiang—"
