This was the benefit of power. As the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen only needed to say one word to determine the fate of the entire Gu Family.
Zhou Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiao Chen had only blamed Gu Le and his son, and did not implicate the entire Gu Family. Gudu Wuya and Huangfu Ao looked at each other, and Huangfu Ao strode into the courtyard. Gudu Wuya then looked at Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan was a smart person. He knew that Gudu Wuya wanted him to take him to Gu Le's father, the patriarch of the Gu Family.
Zhou Fan did not refuse, nor did he dare to refuse. He bowed to Xiao Chen, and then left with Gudu Wuya.
At the same time, Huangfu Ao also walked out of the courtyard in less than ten breaths. However, Gu Le's figure was nowhere to be seen. Not even his corpse was left behind. Only a pool of blood was left.
For Huangfu Ao, killing Gu Le was no different from crushing an ant. Seeing that Huangfu Ao had returned, Xiao Chen smiled and said to sect master Baimo Shengzong, "I'll have to trouble sect master to find a place for us to rest in the city."
"You're too polite, Chosen. Everything is ready. Please come with us," sect master Baimo Shengzong hurriedly bowed, and then personally led Xiao Chen and the others to the courtyard.
They had already arranged a place for Xiao Chen and the others to rest. It was a courtyard with a beautiful environment. It was not in the Gu Family's mansion, but it used to be one of the Gu Family's properties. However, it was no longer the Gu Family's property, as Baimo Shengzong had forcibly taken it over. Now, it was the place where Xiao Chen and the others stayed.
Xiao Chen's group left as quickly as they came. They left the Gu Family's mansion with Qin Shuirou. On the other side, Gudu Wuya met the patriarch and ancestor of the Gu Family in the front hall under Zhou Fan's lead.
They were dressed in the Sacred Palace's Prospective Chosen's robes. When Gudu Wuya and Zhou Fan walked into the front hall, the patriarch and patriarch of the Gu Family locked their eyes on Gudu Wuya.
From their eyes and expressions, it was not difficult to tell that they had guessed what would happen next.... But the patriarch of the Gu Family's patriarch still asked Zhou Fan.
"Brother Zhou, is there no other ending?"
Ever since Baimo Shengzong sealed off the entire Gu City and imprisoned the members of the Gu Family, the patriarch of the Gu Family had already guessed what would happen to the Gu Family. But this time, the patriarch of the Gu Family thought that he would probably die here.
Although this young man in silver robes was young and didn't reveal any aura, he was still able to make the old ancestor of the Gu Family feel immense pressure just by standing there.
The patriarch of the Gu Family was very clear that this young man could kill him in an instant. Not to mention, there was also the Dao Emperor Zhou Fan beside him. However, the patriarch of the Gu Family felt that Zhou Fan's strength should be inferior to this silver-robed young man.
Zhou Fan's expression was a little gloomy when he heard the patriarch of the Gu Family's words, but then he sighed helplessly. "It can't be changed."
Since Xiao Chen had spoken, there was naturally no way to change the situation. As soon as Zhou Fan finished speaking, Gudu Wuya asked indifferently. "Who is Gu Le's father?"
Xiao Chen's order was to only kill Gu Le and his son. As for the rest of the Gu Family, they could let bygones be bygones.
The patriarch of the Gu Family glanced at the patriarch of the Gu Family when he heard Gudu Wuya's words. Then he stood up with an ashen face and said, "I am. There's no need for you to do anything. I'll deal with it myself."
Even the patriarch of the Gu Family was not a match for Gudu Wuya, let alone the patriarch of the Gu Family. Therefore, there was no need for Gudu Wuya to do anything. The patriarch of the Gu Family had already chosen to end his own life.
As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarch of the Gu Family forcefully broke his meridians. His aura instantly dissipated, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he fell weakly to the ground, completely lifeless.
Seeing the patriarch of the Gu Family commit suicide, the patriarch of the Gu Family could not bear to close his eyes. Gudu Wuya did not hesitate to turn around and leave. Since the patriarch of the Gu Family had committed suicide, his mission could be considered completed.
After Gudu Wuya left, the patriarch of the Gu Family, who thought that he was going to die for sure, opened his eyes in confusion. At this time, Zhou Fan said with a wry smile.
"Only kill Gu Le and his son. The rest of the Gu Family can be forgiven."
After relaying Xiao Chen's order to the patriarch of the Gu Family, Zhou Fan sighed helplessly in his heart. The Gu Family could have achieved meteoric success because of this matter, but now …. Sigh.
After saying that, Zhou Fan did not wait for the patriarch of the Gu Family to reply. He turned around and left. An opportunity that was enough to make the Gu Family achieve meteoric success was missed by the Gu Family just like that. Although the Gu Family was saved, it was still a pity.
The matter of the Gu Family was finally over. Gudu Wuya and Zhou Fan returned to the residence of Xiao Chen and the others to report on the completion of the mission.
Qin Shuirou did not have any major problems and was handed over to Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao to take care of him. At this time, Xiao Chen was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard. Zhou Fan and Sect Master Baimo Shengzong stood respectfully in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn't ask much about the Gu Clan, because in his eyes, the Gu Clan was indeed a small clan that couldn't be any weaker. It wasn't even worth mentioning.
At this time, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on Zhou Fan. This time, it could be said that Zhou Fan was the main contributor to finding Qin Shuirou. Moreover, Gudu Wuya had just told him that Zhou Fan had hinted to him on the way here that he would be willing to join the Sacred Palace, even if it was only as a deacon.
Xiao Chen did not find it strange that Zhou Fan wanted to join the Sacred Palace. It was human nature to strive for greater heights. Moreover, the deacons of the Sacred Palace were obviously a level higher than the elders of Baimo Shengzong.
Zhou Fan was a little excited and nervous when Xiao Chen locked his gaze on him. He was excited because he saw the opportunity to join the Sacred Palace, but he was nervous because of the pressure that Xiao Chen gave him.
He lowered his head and did not dare to meet Xiao Chen's eyes. After a while, Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
"Elder Zhou Fan's contribution in finding Shui Rou cannot go unnoticed. How about this, apart from the previous rewards, I wonder if Elder Zhou Fan is interested in becoming a deacon in my Wuchen Sacred Hall?"
It seemed like he was taking the initiative to recruit Zhou Fan. In this regard, sect master Baimo Shengzong did not show the slightest displeasure. It was obvious that they had already discussed this matter. Moreover, if Zhou Fan could really join the Sacred Palace, it could be considered a good thing for Baimo Shengzong. It could bring the relationship between the Sacred Palace and Baimo Shengzong closer. This would only be beneficial to Baimo Shengzong.
Zhou Fan was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He immediately knelt on the ground and could not hide the excitement in his heart. He said loudly, "Thank you, Chosen One."
