Inside the castle, Jack and the other two immediately attracted the attention of the guards on both sides of the castle.
Those who were sent here to spy on them all had a certain level of concealment ability, not to mention their strength. Unless it was someone as strong as Gu Zheng, no one would be able to discover them.
Jack and the other two did not discover the spies, but others had already discovered them.
The three of them went straight to Gu Zheng. This was also Gu Zheng's intention. He wanted them to come here and rely on him. After all, he had concealed his true face before.
"Who are you?"
The guards at the entrance of the castle welcomed them inside, but did not let them enter the main hall of the castle. They were only allowed to wait in a side room. After a while, the butler arrived. When he saw the three of them, he immediately became vigilant.
The butler could not detect Gu Zheng's situation, but he could detect the three people in front of him. He already knew that the three of them were cultivators, but he did not know their specific strength.
"We are here to find Mr. Gu Zheng!"
Jack also discovered the butler's identity as a cultivator. He was only a cultivator and did not know the butler's strength. However, this made him feel more at ease. At least the place that 'sir' had introduced them to was not an ordinary place. There were indeed cultivators here.
The expert who could kill the Jojo brothers was definitely the most powerful expert. In Jack's opinion, such a person had no reason to harm him. Moreover, if he really wanted to harm him, he could have done so earlier. There was no need to lure the three of them here. Therefore, he trusted Gu Zheng very much and had been following his instructions.
"Why are you looking for Mr. Gu?"
The butler frowned and asked the three of them cautiously. Jack and the other two looked at each other. Finally, Jack said, "A 'sir' ordered us to come here. We don't know the details. That 'sir' said that if he saw Mr. Gu Zheng, Mr. Gu Zheng would naturally know!"
Previously, Gu Zheng had indeed ordered them to do so, but they did not dare to ask in detail.
"What is the name of this' sir 'you are talking about?" the butler asked again.
Jack and the two beside him were stunned. They really did not know what the 'sir' was called. Previously, the 'sir' did not introduce himself, and they did not dare to ask. Therefore, they did not even know the name of this' sir '.
"Mr. Gu Zheng knows!"
Jack replied without blushing or skipping a beat. He did not want to reveal the fact that he did not know the Lord's name to other people. It would be too embarrassing if it were to be revealed, and it would also expose the fact that they were not familiar with the Lord. Therefore, he would not mention it.
However, since 'Sir' had asked them to look for the owner of this place, the owner of this place, 'Mr. Gu Zheng', must know of Sir's identity. Therefore, there was no problem with this answer.
"Mr. Gu is not here right now. You can wait here!"
The housekeeper didn't ask any more questions. He didn't chase the three of them away, nor did he let them go inside. He just let them wait in the side room.
Jack didn't say anything, but the other two were furious.
The three of them were all cultivators and could be considered as outstanding cultivators. Even when some of their cultivator friends visited them, they were treated with great respect. When had they ever received such treatment?
"Don't be impulsive. Things are different now!"
Jack stopped them and sighed slightly. They were different now. It could be said that there were too many people eyeing them now.
There was no need to talk about the Dark Association. They suddenly had so many cultivation resources. There would definitely be envious light cultivators who would want to rob them. This was very normal. If it were them, they would also do the same.
At this time, unless they openly donated all their resources, there would definitely be people who would want to rob them.
It wasn't that Jack had never thought of donating, but he was reluctant to do so. No one would casually give up a fortune after obtaining it. Needless to say, this was a fortune that could allow him to cultivate to become a light angel.
The three of them waited like this. The housekeeper gave Gu Zheng a call.
In fact, in the housekeeper's heart, all of this was caused by Gu Zheng. Although Gu Zheng was an ordinary person in his eyes, this ordinary person had mentioned Solomon and looked up a lot of information.
Now that three light cultivators had suddenly appeared, he instinctively thought that they were helpers that Gu Zheng had found.
In his opinion, the new boss was playing with fire. Sooner or later, he would be playing with fire.
However, he didn't guess wrong this time. The three of them were indeed found by Gu Zheng. However, they weren't helpers, but people who had deliberately come to disturb the situation.
On both sides of the ancient castle, the dark and light forces' spies reported everything they had seen. There were also clear photos of the three people.
The Holy See was the first to receive the news. With the photos, it was easy to discover the identity of the three people. After learning that the three people were the bounty hunters who had brought the Gibb brothers' corpses two years ago, the people of the Holy See were very surprised. They said that they would immediately send people over.
The Dark Association also received the news. Not long after the photos of the three people were sent out, they also understood the identity of the three people.
After understanding this, the people of the Dark Association became even more nervous. One of their Sovereigns had already sent back a message and found the person who had taken the Gibb brothers' corpses. However, the corpses had been taken away by a powerhouse. Their Sovereign had been injured by a magic backlash and had gone back to recuperate.
The Dark Association knew a bit more than the Holy See. They knew that there was a very powerful powerhouse behind the three people. That was why they were more cautious. They also sent people, and not just one person. There were three Sovereigns. This was to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Gu Zheng quickly hung up the phone. In the face of the butler's stern warning, he ignored it. He also told the butler to take good care of the three people and arrange the best room for them. If he didn't do it well, he would fire the butler at any time.
After giving his orders, Gu Zheng didn't care what the butler thought. He continued to play. This time, he didn't stay in London. Instead, he flew to Italy.
No matter what, he was the owner of the ancient castle. The butler was just an employee. If it wasn't for the fact that the butler had some secrets, Gu Zheng would have fired him long ago. He actually dared to keep threatening him.
After Gu Zheng left, the ancient castle was bustling with noise and excitement.
The people of the Holy See were the first to arrive. They were a radiant angel and three bishops. The bishops were all fifth stage Internal Force masters. This strength wasn't weak. It was more than enough to deal with a few ordinary practitioners.
"They are still in the ancient castle?"
The four people went directly to the place where the people of the Holy See were sent. The people here had been monitoring the ancient castle.
"Yes, sir. They were arranged to stay in the guest room. According to the situation inside, the new owner of the ancient castle asked the butler to do so."
"What is the origin of this new owner?" The radiant angel asked again.
"This has been investigated. The new owner is Chinese. His name is Gu Zheng. He is a chef invited by Sir Brown two and a half years ago. He helped Sir Brown win a lot of things, including a winery. In the end, the winery was given to the Chinese, but he never came to take it. Later, Brown wanted to take the winery and resell it. At that time, the Chinese came back. Later, we don't know what kind of deal Brown made with the Chinese, but he gave the winery and the ancient castle to him."
The people monitoring the ancient castle were actually spies. Not only did they have to monitor the ancient castle, but they also had to investigate everything related to the ancient castle. They had already investigated Gu Zheng's information in detail.
The details of Gu Zheng's information were in the hands of the radiant angel.
The radiant angel's name was Arthur. He was a warrior of light. Angels were just a name, just like immortals in the country. The strength of an angel was the same as the strength of the cultivators in the country.
The angels of the Holy See could use the power of light to form wings and fly. Arthur had a pair of wings, which was equivalent to the Qi Transformation Realm of the cultivators. He was the first cultivator.
However, Immortal Cultivators were Immortal Cultivators. Even the earliest Immortal Cultivators were much stronger than ordinary Cultivators.
At this time, Arthur was reading a document. It was all about Gu Zheng.
He was a food critic in China, a famous chef in China, the winner of the Hangzhou Gourmet Competition, the winner of the National Gourmet Competition, the owner of Guji Chicken Blood Soup, the winery in France, and so on.
The content was very detailed, but it was very ordinary and had no value.
"That's it?"
Arthur waved the document in his hand and asked with dissatisfaction. These superficial things could be easily found out. Arthur wanted to know if Gu Zheng had any other identity, such as who was the spokesperson of who.
"That's all for now. We are still investigating!"
"Continue to investigate. In addition, find out why he came to Europe last time and why Brown invited him. Most importantly, find out why Brown suddenly gave the ancient castle to him!"
Arthur continued to instruct. He felt that something was wrong when the ancient castle suddenly changed owners, and it was an Asian.
The surveillance officer hesitated for a while and finally said, "Sir, the people we sent to inquire didn't get any results from Brown. I want to ask if we can use some means to get the real reason from Brown!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Arthur immediately shook his head. The surveillance officer's knowledge was limited. Some secrets could only be known by people who had reached the level of angels.
Although Brown was an ordinary person, his ancestor was not ordinary. There was a very powerful cultivator. This cultivator was not from the Light Faction, nor was he from the Dark Faction. He was a neutral person and was very powerful a thousand years ago.
After the Dark Association was defeated, they did not want the ancient castle to fall into the hands of the forces of light. Therefore, they gave the ancient castle to the descendant of this practitioner. This way, both sides would be wary of this neutral practitioner and would not deliberately have any ideas about the ancient castle.
Arthur was very clear that this neutral practitioner still existed and was very powerful. Both the Holy Church and the forces of darkness had a certain degree of scruples. Therefore, they could not use any extreme means on his descendant. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to offending this practitioner.
Gu Zheng did not know all this, so he used force on Brown.
However, even if he knew, it did not matter. It was Brown who had tricked him first. Moreover, Gu Zheng himself was very powerful and was not a European. He did not have any scruples and did not care at all.
The only thing he cared about was his father. If his identity was exposed, then he would take his father back. At worst, he would send his father to Emei. At that time, no one would be able to harm him unless someone dared to attack Emei.
There was no such person in China, nor in Europe. If a European practitioner dared to attack Emei, then both the righteous and demonic sides of China would stand out and support him. It would not be a battle between righteous and demonic sides, but a battle between races.
There could be internal conflicts, but when it came to external conflicts, they would all be united.
Similarly, it was the same in Europe. If any sect in China attacked the Dark Association, the Holy Church would help them. It was the same in the whole world.
After Arthur refused, the surveillance officer did not say anything else. Arthur thought for a while and decided to personally go.
The three people who entered the ancient castle belonged to the forces of light. Although they were not under the direct control of the Holy Church, they were still on the same side. If the people of the Dark Association appeared, then it would be troublesome for the three.
At this time, Jack and the other two did not know that the two forces had sent experts to find them. They had already stayed in the luxurious rooms of the ancient castle.
"That's more like it. If this place was safe, then I would want to stay here forever!"
One of the young men who followed Jack said comfortably as he lay on the bed. Although this ancient castle was remote, it had all kinds of facilities. They had been cultivating in seclusion. If this place could guarantee their safety, then staying here to cultivate was not a bad idea. At least they would not have to worry about their safety.
"Whether it's safe or not, we don't know yet. But since we're already here, then we can only do this!"
Jack bitterly smiled. They had come openly. If someone wanted to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out. Now, they could only pray that the 'lord' did not harm them and pointed them to a safe place.
While the three of them were chatting, Arthur had already brought his men to the entrance of the ancient castle and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the housekeeper personally came and looked at Arthur vigilantly.
"Hello, I'm Arthur. I've seen Mister Brooke before!"
Arthur said politely. The Brooke he mentioned was the powerful neutral practitioner. Hearing Arthur mention Brooke, the housekeeper understood that this was a powerful person. At the very least, only angels or rulers could see Mister Brooke.
"What business do you have here?" The housekeeper asked in a hoarse voice.
"I'm here to find the three bounty hunters and ask them about the situation!"
Arthur was still very polite. The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, without the master's permission, I can't let you in!"
"Master, as far as I know, the current master is no longer a member of the Brown family. He's a Chinese!" Arthur frowned.
"You're right. The current master is indeed a Chinese. I'll inform Mister Gu immediately!"
The housekeeper let Arthur and the others in, but not into the main hall. Instead, he let them into the side room where Jack and the others were previously. If Jack and the others knew that even the Radiant Angel could come here and wait, who knew what they would think? At the very least, they would not be angry about the treatment.
When the housekeeper called Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng had just arrived in Italy. The housekeeper said very bluntly that the people from the Luminous Church had come, and it was a lord angel. They wanted to see his three friends and ask for his opinion.
