Chapter 175: Increasing pressure

“You’re asking me why that Gu Master came to kill me? How would I know!” Facing Tie Ruo Nan’s questioning, Fang Zheng blinked innocently.

“If you have done something, I hope you won’t conceal the truth. Because your words, even though they might seem insignificant, can have great help towards solving the case,” the young girl said sincerely.

Fang Zheng shook his head. “I’m very perplexed too. During that period, I was cultivating non-stop, so how could I attract any assassinations? But afterwards, the people around me realized that this demonic Gu Master could have been hired by the other two clans, to kill a rising star like myself. You also know the rivalry between us and the Bai clan and Xiong clan. Especially the Xiong clan, they are the greatest suspects as they had once recruited demonic Gu Masters into their clan.”

“Xiong clan huh…” Tie Ruo Nan became a little discouraged after hearing this, since the Xiong clan had already been eliminated by the wolf tide. It seems that this lead is lost as well.

Suddenly, murmurs came from outside the room.

“Quick, look there, isn’t that people from the Xiong clan?”

“I thought the Xiong clan was exterminated, how can there be any envoys coming here?!”

Xiong clan envoy’s appearance caused a vivid discussion among the village, as people talked with one another.

Soon, news came from the clan leader pavilion.

“Xiong clan still has a large number of survivors.”

“They retreated on their own, using a Gu that their ancestor left behind, concealing many people at the same time, cheating death!”

“These scumbags, retreating and avoiding battle, causing the wolf tide to come to us.”

“Hmph, these Xiong clan people may look rough and large, but their hearts are devious on the inside. Wanting to borrow the power of the wolf tide to weaken us, they are too despicable!”

Gu Yue clansmen were furious.

The appearance of the Xiong clan envoy had caused the Qing Mao mountain’s political distribution to undergo a complete shift.

What was thought to be a two-sided competition between Bai clan and Gu Yue clan in the end remained a three-way competition.

But one would understand once they thought about it. The Xiong clan had survived for hundreds of years without falling, they had their own foundations too. Which clan did not have an ancestor, and a trump card?

After the Xiong clan envoy left, Gu Yue Bo immediately called for a clan elder meeting.

“These Xiong clan bastards, they really are nothing good. To think they retreated immediately!”

“Can’t look down on anyone indeed. Xiong clan had always ranked behind our clan and Bai clan, and was the weakest among the forces on Qing Mao mountain. But to think they had such a scheme, we have to be more careful from now on.”
