Within the bamboo forest, Gu Tongtian was cultivating, his body surrounded by spiritual energy.
“Senior Brother Gu, Wuji Tianjiang wants you to go to Wuji Divine Hall,” Situ Jiannan said.
Gu Tongtian slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Can’t you see I’m cultivating?”
“Senior Brother Gu, it’s no use telling me! Some people suspect you are that man in black, so you must go, otherwise even Wuji Tianjiang might not be able to protect you!”
Situ Jiannan spoke directly, “It’s all that brat’s fault. If that brat hadn’t been so unreasonable, so many Tianjiangs wouldn’t have come to Wuji Divine Hall, and they wouldn’t have pushed Boss into such a desperate situation.”
Gu Tongtian frowned. Although he was quite displeased, he couldn’t say much. It was a crucial period for his breakthrough, but if there was something to discuss, he naturally had to go. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Wuji Tianjiang.
Recalling his aura, Gu Tongtian slowly got up, his face somewhat pale.
“Senior Brother Gu, why do you look so unwell?” Situ Jiannan asked in surprise. “Have you not rested well these days?”
“Not exactly, it might just be the critical period of breakthrough, that’s why I’m like this!” Gu Tongtian shook his head, not dwelling on the matter.
Not long after, their figures arrived at the Wuji Divine Hall. Lu Fan narrowed his eyes upon seeing the person before him. He could clearly sense that Gu Tongtian was hiding his aura, but no matter how he hid it, Lu Fan could still keenly perceive it, which was enough to show Lu Fan’s sharpness.
“Tianjiang adult, may I know why you summoned me?” Gu Tongtian clasped his fists. “I’ve been trying to break through my bottleneck recently, so my aura is a bit weak.”
“It’s nothing!”
Wuji Tianjiang waved his hand and looked at Hunyuan Tianjiang, “Take a look, is this matter something he did! He is a rare genius of our Tianbing Mansion in a hundred years, is he also worth suspecting?”
Hunyuan Tianjiang looked, but frowned. The Gu Tongtian in front of him was polite and didn’t seem like the wicked man in black. But if that were the case, the culprit would have vanished into thin air.
“Weren’t you so arrogant in the cave? Why are you so meek now?”
Lu Fan smiled, looking at Gu Tongtian, “I really didn’t expect that the peerless genius of Tianbing Mansion would be a merciless devil!”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand?” Gu Tongtian looked at Lu Fan. “Slander? Do you have any complaints about the people in Wuji Divine Hall?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, kid!” Situ Jiannan looked at Lu Fan. “If you want revenge against Wuji Divine Hall, you shouldn’t be so shameless!”
Lu Fan smiled and didn’t say anything more. Instead, he walked towards Gu Tongtian and struck him with a palm.
Gu Tongtian retreated, looking at Lu Fan. “How dare you, with so many Tianjiangs here, dare to attack me!”
Hunyuan Tianjiang also frowned, not knowing Lu Fan’s intention.
“He is injured, he must be that man in black!” Lu Fan said. “Why aren’t all you Tianjiangs taking action and capturing him!”
Many Tianjiangs frowned and looked towards Gu Tongtian. Gu Tongtian didn’t look like a bad person, which made them a little confused.
“You are quite bold to dare to order us Tianjiangs around!” Wuji Tianjiang said coldly. “Whether he is the man in black, don’t I know clearly?”
“Since Wuji Tianjiang says so, do you dare to test it!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
Wuji Tianjiang said no more and directly stepped towards Gu Tongtian. Gu Tongtian frowned, took a palm from Wuji Tianjiang, and retreated three steps, appearing unharmed.
“See? I said it couldn’t be Senior Brother Gu!”
With a hint of arrogance in his eyes, Situ Jiannan looked at Lu Fan, his words indifferent, as if in his eyes, Lu Fan was just someone causing trouble.
“Under normal circumstances, how could a mere Tianbing withstand a blow from a Tianjiang?” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “This is probably not logical, is it?”
Everyone present suddenly realized that Wuji Tianjiang was the strongest. His palm strike, let alone an ordinary Tianbing, even a Tianjiang level expert would not dare to take it lightly.
At the same time, Wuji Tianjiang reacted, looking at Gu Tongtian. Unless Gu Tongtian had already reached the Emperor level, how could he withstand his palm strike.
Situ Jiannan was also instantly confused. Lu Fan’s questioning had no problem. Under normal circumstances, Gu Tongtian could not withstand this palm strike.
“I didn’t expect that even after hiding for so long, I would still be seen through by you!”
Gu Tongtian suddenly laughed, looking at Lu Fan. “Why do you always oppose me!”
“I don’t want to oppose you, it’s just that what you do is against the heavenly dao!” Lu Fan said directly.
“Heavenly dao?”
Gu Tongtian burst into laughter. “I don’t believe in any heavenly dao, I only believe in my own strength. In the entire Celestial Realm, only by reaching a very high level of strength can one be admired by others and not be bullied.”
“Is it really you?” Wuji Tianjiang’s face turned ashen, and he looked at Gu Tongtian. This was his most capable subordinate, but he never expected him to be a murderer. How could he accept this.
“That’s right, it is indeed me!”
Gu Tongtian said coldly, “I originally planned to absorb enough Tianbings, and then absorb all of you Tianjiangs, and I would reach the perfect realm, but I didn’t expect it to fail!”
“You have quite the ambition!” Hunyuan Tianjiang sneered. “You want to absorb us, are you worthy?”
“Hahaha…”
Gu Tongtian burst into laughter, seeming indifferent, as if he didn’t care about his own life or death.
“Capture him!” Wuji Tianjiang said with a cold expression and a hint of killing intent. He never expected his subordinate to be like this, catching him off guard.
The many Tianjiangs acted without hesitation and moved to capture him. They knew that Gu Tongtian was a scourge to all living beings, and such a person could not be kept, otherwise, he would be a disaster.
Seeing this, Situ Jiannan quickly dodged, his eyes panicked, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way, which caught him off guard.
After all, in the past, he was very close to Gu Tongtian. Fortunately, Gu Tongtian did not attack him, otherwise, he would have likely lost his life.
“You cannot kill me. Even if the Mansion Lord of Tianbing Mansion came, he might not be able to kill me!” Gu Tongtian suddenly laughed, and his figure turned into a black mist, gradually disappearing from the spot, making everyone even more surprised.
“This is… a clone?”
Many people showed surprise, not expecting Gu Tongtian to be a clone, it was even more incredible.
