Chapter 40: The Departure from Qing's Rebellion

  In the room of Qingzhu, the patriarch of the Hu family and the great elder of the Yin-Yang sect, five people were harboring ulterior motives.

  "Alright, let's get out of here first." Hu Gao felt that the whole thing was not quite right compared to his original plan. In his opinion, Qingju, who should have been interrogated by the dark guards, seemed completely in control, giving people a sense of being in charge. He didn't know where the unusual problem lay, but his keen sense of danger made him feel that he should leave first and talk later.

  However, just as Hu Gao was about to retreat, he found that the eyes of Yu Le beside him were not quite right. He quickly stepped forward and pulled him, saying: "Yu Le, since Qing Lian is not here, let's go first."

  "Who would have thought that Extreme Joy suddenly pushed Hu Gao away and loudly questioned him: 'Hu Gao! When I came earlier, I didn't see this Dark Guard. Where are the three Dark Guards from earlier? This one's hair is indeed the cyan color of the Departed Azure Sect! The High Priest wouldn't possibly send him to participate in this investigation!"

  His voice began to tremble as he spoke, and when he finished speaking, his legs also started trembling. Fear and anger had filled his entire body.

  Jile was not foolish and immediately realized he was in extreme danger after blurting out the slip, but it was too late to retract his words.

  "Extreme joy! This is in Ning City! Our Hu family's place, don't be suspicious!" Hu Gao shouted loudly at the already somewhat frantic Extreme Joy.

  "No! Hu Gao, you idiot, look at the gaze of Qing Huan and Dark Shadow! We can't leave today!" Ji Le grabbed Hu Gao, pointing at Qing Huan and Dark Shadow, "As a successor of the Hu family, can't you even distinguish the gaze of your enemies?"

  Hu Gao didn't want to look, nor did he dare to look. He grabbed Jile's hand and rushed outside. Now his only regret was how he ended up bringing Jile here. Suddenly, he remembered the words of the fat boss before he left: "Whether I am a blessing or a curse to the Hu family." Could it be that the invisible hand that stirred up the internal strife in the Hu family was really himself?

  The old man Qingju sighed, and today he seemed to have changed into a different person. He lightly raised his right hand, and a formless yuan force enveloped Hu Gao and Extreme Joy like a cage, "Hu Gao, little guy, have you really forgotten what bloodline is flowing in your body?"

  "Elder, why must you do this? I know you have some ulterior motive. The Fifth Elder wasn't killed by you, was he? No matter what, if you really did something like that, the Hu family would be in chaos." Hu Gao knew the gap between their realms was too great, so he didn't struggle and instead turned his head to look at Qing Huan with a somewhat helpless expression.

  "Haha, you're talking about that Northern Branch's Hu Wu Shang who thinks he's invincible? Killing him is as easy as crushing an ant! Since you've chosen to oppose me, then go die! I want to see if you really have a Guardian God inside your body!" Qing Juan suddenly raised both hands and waved them in the air, shouting: "【Thunderbolt Apocalypse】!"

  As soon as the words fell, the energy of heaven and earth surged wildly above Hu Gao and Yu Le, a colorful rain cloud suddenly appeared, countless lightning flashes flickered within, after a brief fermentation, a bolt of lightning struck Hu Gao and Yu Le like a broken bamboo, crazily pouring down.

  Hú Gāo's face changed, and he didn't say another word. He immediately pressed the Ji Lè down to the ground, then directly used his entire body to press down on it, completely covering it under his thin frame.

  Although the old man Qingju's yuan jue was earth-shaking, it might be a ground-level yuan jue, but Hu Gao believed that as long as he wasn't killed by a single lightning bolt, he could survive with the healing power of the jade pendant, and in any case, he couldn't let Xīlè bear this fatal pain.

  But the reality was clearly more cruel than Hu Gao had imagined. He, who thought his physical body was strong, directly fainted from the first wave of lightning attacks. Not to mention Bai Xia's one sword that he couldn't withstand, he actually wanted to endure the Great Elder's yuan-decision attack, which was really too naive.

  "Elder, isn't this going a bit too far?" The dark figure beside him also couldn't help but furrow his brow as he watched the sudden change in the situation. Although he knew the cause of everything, Hu Gao's sudden appearance was probably something even the mastermind behind it all hadn't anticipated.

  Is the Green Luan Elder really going to take this opportunity to kill Hu Gao? This is impossible! If Huang Quan, the Great Elder, were to do something like this, there would still be some credibility to it, but the Green Luan Elder... As he gazed at his somewhat distorted face, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

  "Qing Li, haven't you figured it out yet? If he were an ordinary Cultivator of the Condensed Shadow Realm, he would still be lying there?" Qing Zhi's eyes were wide open, staring intently at Hu Gao as he slowly approached him.

  The scene looked very strange, Hu Gao had fainted, but Lei Di Hai's wave of fierce attacks did not make his body burst open, turn to ashes, and the Extreme Joy under him was only stunned, without showing signs of being burned by the lightning.

  Just as Qingju was only three steps away from Hu Gao, Hu Gao, who had been motionless until then, slowly stood up from the ground. His legs swayed back and forth on the ground, his hands hung low and shook constantly to control the center of gravity of his body, and it seemed that there was a layer of insulation on his body, as the pouring thunder and lightning in the sky had no reaction at all.

  This scene was so shocking that the whole person was stunned. The Thunderbolt Sutra was indeed a genuine secret method of the Hu family, an intact middle-grade Yuan decision that had never been performed in front of outsiders. Not to mention the condensed shadow realm warriors, even the explosive yuan realm warriors would be nine deaths and one life if they were chopped like this. This made him open his mouth wide and unable to say a word.

  "Why bully a junior?" Hu Gao, who stood up, seemed to exude an air of natural superiority, and his voice was filled with a sense of inexplicable vicissitudes.

  "You're just pretending, I know you're Qing Gao! There's no guardian deity at all!" Qing Ju said disdainfully, "Do you still want to pretend in front of me?"

  "Haha, this body is really too weak." Hu Gao slowly stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, the originally majestic thunderclouds disappearing without a trace like the wind.

  "It's really the Guardian Deity!" Shadow exclaimed with extreme joy, no matter how heaven-defying the disguise was, it wouldn't be possible to produce such a move. Being able to so easily dissolve the Earth Stage Yuan Decision unleashed by a late-stage Explosive Yuan Realm warrior already explained everything!

  "Cough, cough, my injuries from the dimensional rift can't take your antics anymore. Before I fell asleep last time, I didn't have a chance to tell you that this time, it's not just me who came down to the lower realm. You all take care of yourselves." Hu Gao raised his head and said calmly.

  The green pheasant, who had become stunned when Hu Gao showed his divine power, collapsed even further upon hearing these words. He said weakly: "A successor is the core key of a family, even if it means risking one's life, they must be found. Does Guardian Deity have any other instructions?"

  "Hurry up and find them all!" Hu Gao said after finishing this sentence, his eyes closed again, his body softened, and he fell backwards.

  The green bird's eyes were quick and her hands were fast, she rushed forward to support him. This time he thoroughly believed that Hu Gao was the successor. Looking at Hu Gao's pale face, he thought to himself that this accidental mistake might have brought all their plans forward...

  "Shadow, send Hu Gao to Hu Feng now. From now on, the Ning City Hu family will no longer have our branch of Qing!" As soon as Elder Qing said this, his face, which had looked extremely young, suddenly aged ten years!

  "Elder, you can't act arbitrarily." The shadow rushed over and knelt down at Qingju's feet, saying sorrowfully.

  "Let's go, I'm fine, have faith in the family!" Qingju waved her hand, "We of the Qingyi clan are not skilled at fighting, this choice is the best one!"

  Ying Er picked up Hu Gao for the second time, he couldn't think of how he had such a good affinity with the successor, turned his head to look at Qing Zhi and said: "We will definitely reunite smoothly!" Only then did he leave the master's room in a hurry.

  "What shall we do now, Great Elder?" The young guard who had remained in the room knew that he had seen something he shouldn't have and was also at a loss.

  "Send Gokuraku to the North Branch, it's a material that can be made, even for the sake of the family's revival, there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices." Qingzhi said with a tired face, he knew that his behavior just now had already left a terrifying impression on the guardian, but what could he do?

  ……

  Although Hu Gao was electrocuted, his soul was strangely completely awake. It was strange that Xiaowu, who usually liked to talk non-stop, suddenly lost his voice at that moment. He felt that his entire sea of consciousness was floating with many strange symbols, flashing before him.

  Finally, he found his soul leaving his body. He saw himself standing up from the ground and saw that he was speaking with a completely unfamiliar tone. He opened his mouth to shout for help but couldn't utter a word.

  Is there another person hidden in his own body? Does the illusory guardian god really exist? What does he mean by "dimensional wound"? Have other people descended upon the entire world?

  Watts, is Lao Tzu's body really what you call a perfect vessel? Do each of you want to move in?

  Fellow countryman? Where's that fellow countryman of mine? Hu Gao tried to call out to the strange fellow countryman he still had some good feelings towards, but found he couldn't get any response either. Xiao Wu? Come out quickly!

  Hu Gao was completely desperate, what the hell is going on?
