Gu Chen took the letter and his expression became serious.
The little boy jumped away, and he opened the letter and read the contents.
The letter discussed news about his father from the perspective of an onlooker.
"More than four years ago, Gu Tianming, a member of Daoshu's lineage, returned to the Gu clan after going through all kinds of hardships across the sea, and asked the family to take action to rescue his wife and children overseas."
"The Gu clan, however, looked down upon and neglected him because he had only awakened his tyranny in middle age. They delayed it for various reasons and refused to send anyone across the sea to rescue him."
"Gu Tianming had no choice but to practice hard and reach several great realms in one year. However, he was still ridiculed and even suppressed by the younger members of his clan because of his late start."
"Two years ago, the arrogant Gu Zhaixing of the Gu clan insulted Gu Tianming. Gu Tianming fought back angrily, but was severely injured by Gu Zhaixing. All the meridians in his body were severed, and he suffered a great humiliation."
"Afterwards, the Gu clan only verbally admonished Gu Zhaixing. Gu Tianming was seriously injured and felt heartbroken, so he chose to leave Dahuang Ancient Town alone."
"A few months later, news came from the Deep Demon Sea that a descendant of the Gu clan was fighting with a group of cultivators locally and was buried in a fire. After an investigation by the Gu clan afterwards, it was confirmed that the person who had the accident was Gu Tianming. Although no bones were found, some
More than 70% of them may have died!"
Already dead!
These four words struck Gu Chen's field of vision, making his mind feel like five thunderbolts!
"Father……"
He was stunned, and read the contents of the letter several times until he was sure that he had read it correctly, and his body could not help but tremble.
"Father, is he dead?"
His eyes slowly turned red, and the stories described in the letter were connected with various things that happened after he returned to the Gu clan, intertwining in his mind.
He didn't want to believe that what was described in the letter was true, but since he returned to the Gu clan, cousin Lian Yue hesitated to talk about his father's whereabouts. The great elder lied that his father was cultivating in a secret place, and the whole clan was worried about it.
The matter was kept tight-lipped...
Gu Chen had already felt that there was something fishy about this matter from the reaction of his tribe. Now that he saw such a letter, he immediately realized that even if the things stated in the letter were not entirely true, they must be credible.
He recalled that when he first came back, he was ridiculed because of his broken domineering bones. The situation when his father returned back then was probably not much better.
When his father was forced to leave his mother and son due to the awakening of his tyrant bone, his greatest wish was naturally to return to them and avenge Huangfu Wuji for killing his father.
But he had been back to the Gu clan for so long, and he didn't come back until Gu Chen killed Huangfu Wuji. If the Gu clan hadn't refused to help, how could this have happened?
The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more anger spread in his heart. He accepted the letter, took a deep breath, left his house directly, and strode towards Gu Zhaixing's yard!
There is no point in thinking too much. Just ask and you will find out the truth of the matter!
As soon as he entered Gu Zhaixing's yard, he just walked out of the house. When he saw him, he frowned slightly.
"Are you coming to see me?"
Gu Zhaixing had long disliked Gu Chen, and the two had hardly spoken to each other on weekdays, so he was surprised that Gu Chen came to see him.
"Let me ask you."
Gu Chen's expression was cold and his tone remained calm. "Did you take action against my father? Did he leave the Gu clan because of you?"
When Gu Zhaixing heard this, his expression suddenly became uncertain. He thought about it and sneered.
"You know? That's fine. Hiding this matter has made me very uncomfortable. I should have been honest about it long ago."
"Yes, I did fight with your father, and he left the Gu clan after fighting with me. But I didn't let him leave. He just acted in an extreme way."
Gu Chen clenched his fists subconsciously. "You severely injured my father, and he died in a sea of fire because of you?"
Gu Zhaixing frowned and his voice was a bit colder. "You understand, your father's death has nothing to do with me! I did have a conflict with him, but you also know that a martial arts competition will inevitably get out of control, and he was beaten
Being seriously injured only means that his skills are inferior to others."
"Besides, your father is not necessarily dead. We haven't seen his body yet. You should be optimistic and don't look murderous. I don't owe you anything!"
Gu Zhaixing had a nonchalant attitude, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Gu Chen smiled.
Initially, he was dubious about the content of the letter, thinking that someone might be trying to sow discord.
But he admitted all the questions he asked Gu Zhaixing, and there was no difference from what he said in the letter!
Gu Chen knew his father very well. He was a steady and reserved person. If Gu Zhaixing hadn't done something or said something too outrageous, he would never argue with someone of the same generation as his son.
His last choice to take action must have been out of patience, and when Gu Zhaixing severely injured him and severed his meridians, it was not just a simple miss!
"If you say so, then go and die!"
Gu Chen suddenly went berserk, his breath burst out, and he hit a super-accented killing punch!
Boom!
This punch was faster than the speed of sound. Gu Zhaixing's expression changed and he dodged in a hurry, but the house behind him was instantly destroyed by the punch!
"You guy, you actually want to kill me?"
Gu Zhaixing strode out amid the flying smoke and dust, his eyes flashing with cold light.
He had long disliked this kid, so since he took the initiative, he couldn't be blamed!
Immediately, an aura stronger than Gu Chen's arose from his body, and his palms shone with golden light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two figures intertwined and quickly fought together!
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Before they could really take action, Gu Yuanshan and two other elders who were in the nearby courtyard hurried over and stopped the two of them immediately.
Gu Lianyue, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were also alerted and ran over in a hurry.
As for the clan leader and the great elder, they were still discussing Wu Lingxian's affairs with the leaders of various sects and had not returned.
"He made the first move! This kid wanted to kill me!"
Gu Zhaixing's hair was a little messy, and his face was full of anger when he thought that his house had been smashed.
When Gu Yuanshan heard this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, is what you said about reaching for the stars true?"
Gu Chen stared at Gu Zhaixing with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know everything about my father?"
After he finished speaking, the two elders looked at each other in confusion and immediately understood what was going on. As for Gu Lianyue, Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming, their eyes were a little dodged and they did not dare to look directly into Gu Chen's eyes.
However, Gu Yuanshan didn't react much and said calmly, "So this is what happened. I should have told you about this matter a long time ago. I have always been opposed to the Great Elder's actions."
"I understand that you will be a little sad after knowing what happened to your father, but his accident has nothing to do with reaching for the stars. It is wrong for you to attack him."
