The Emperor of Arctic Frost could not directly intervene in the affairs of the various departments, but since he knew that Mu Tianyi was using public resources for his own personal gain, how could he not send people to investigate?
Mu Tianyi and his son had been in the limelight for too long. When they did things, they were completely unscrupulous and did not know what concealment was. Especially Mu Tong, who had announced to all the battle teams that no one was allowed to buy the Nine Nether Battle Team.
With the Mu father and son's style of doing things, it was absolutely impossible for them to hide it from others. There was no need for a detailed investigation. After a few rounds of questioning, everything was clear.
When the results came out, the Tianyi Battle Team was immediately disbanded and Mu Tong was directly expelled from the Jiuxiao Academy.
According to the investigation, the members of the Tianyi Battle Team were not involved in this matter. Therefore, they were all free to sign contracts with other battle teams.
At the entrance of the tower, Chu Xingyun did not welcome Gu Man in. The tower was currently being cleaned and was dirty and messy. It was not suitable to receive guests here. Moreover, Gu Man was not considered a guest.
Looking at Gu Man, Chu Xingyun said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Faced with Chu Xingyun's question, Gu Man said solemnly, "I know that the Mu Family has deeply offended you, but Mu Tong has done me a favor. I hope you can let him live."
Pausing, Gu Man said seriously, "As long as you let him go, Gu Man will be at your disposal …"
Waving his hand, Chu Xingyun said indifferently, "I never intended to target Mu Tong, so you don't need to worry about this. You also don't need to join us because of this."
Faced with Chu Xingyun's words, Gu Man could not help but be stunned. He then cupped his hands gratefully and said loudly, "Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Gu Man is indebted to you. If you need anything in the future, Gu Man will not hesitate to die a thousand times!"
After speaking, Gu Man cupped his hands towards Chu Xingyun and turned to leave.
Sigh …
Seeing Gu Man leave with big strides, a sigh came from beside him.
Turning his head, Jun Wuyou came down from the second floor and shook his head, "This Gu Man is definitely a good man. It's a pity that he followed the wrong person. That Mu Tong … is not worthy at all!"
Oh!
Chu Xingyun curiously looked at Jun Wu You and said with interest, "Tell me about the Gu Man Tribe …"
Nodding his head, Jun Wu You smiled and began to narrate …
Gu Man's father was a blacksmith. Normally, he was addicted to alcohol and didn't have much success.
When Gu Man was eight years old, his blacksmith father was drunk and fell into a furnace. Only he and his elderly grandmother were left. They had no ability to make a living.
However, Gu Man's luck was not bad. When he was about to starve to death, he met a benefactor.
At the age of eight, Gu Man was already big and strong. Therefore, Mu Tong took a fancy to him and took him in as a hired thug.
It was thanks to Mu Tong's financial support that Gu Man and his elderly grandmother didn't starve to death.
In the years that followed, he had fought countless battles for Mu Tong. Every time they fought, he would charge at the front without any fear of death.
Gu Man's fierce reputation could be heard throughout the Jiuxiao Academy. Under the Martial Emperor, there was no one who wasn't afraid of him.
Obviously, Gu Man was suspected of helping the tyrant. However, Gu Man didn't care about that. He only knew that Mu Tong was his benefactor and he only recognized Mu Tong. As for reason and justice, what did it have to do with him?
Listening to Chu Xingyun's description, a brave but foolish man appeared in Chu Xingyun's mind. For such a person, Chu Xingyun appreciated him very much.
Foolish loyalty wasn't terrible. What was terrible was that a foolish man followed the wrong master. Then, he would become a devil who helped the tyrant.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xingyun said, "Let's go. Let's go and take a look."
"Take a look? What's there to see? "Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Jun Wu You was a little puzzled.
In the face of Jun Wu You's puzzlement, Chu Xingyun didn't explain much. Many things weren't suitable to be explained.
Chu Xingyun didn't want to deal with Mu Tong, but it wasn't because he was very tolerant, nor was it because he was completely unafraid of Mu Tong's revenge.
Chu Xingyun knew very well that there was no need for him to do anything. Mu Tong wouldn't be able to survive. He had offended too many people.
With the fall of Mu Tianyi, Mu Tong was expelled from the academy and lost the protection of his grandfather and the Jiuxiao Academy. How could Mu Tong's former enemies let him go?
Everyone had enemies. The higher one's position was, the stronger his enemies were.
Even though Mu Tong had lost his power and influence, and had fallen from being a high and mighty individual to an ordinary person, his enemies remained the same.
It could be said that Mu Tong was doomed. There was no room for him to survive.
It didn't matter if Mu Tong died. What made Chu Xingyun reluctant was that Mu Tong's death would inevitably implicate Gu Man.
With Gu Man's foolish loyalty, if he wanted to kill Mu Tong, he would have to step over his dead body.
It would be a pity if such a good man were to die with Mu Tong.
In the past, Chu Xingyun didn't understand Gu Man, so he wasn't very interested in him.
However, after learning everything about him from Jun Wu You, Chu Xingyun became very interested in him. Team Samsara needed such a person.
As they walked, when they arrived near Team Tianyi's base, it was already surrounded by people. The sound of fierce fighting could be heard from far away.
Hearing the fierce fighting, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but quicken his pace … …
In the crowd, Mu Tong was curled up in a corner, covered in blood. His entire body was covered in wounds. His entire right arm was gone.
At this moment, Mu Tong's face was filled with fear. His entire face was green. Facing the cold killing intent of the surrounding people, he was clearly scared out of his wits.
In front of Mu Tong, Gu Man was holding a huge saber. He was guarding Mu Tong with a ferocious face.
In front of Gu Man, three warriors were also seriously injured. From the huge and hideous wounds on their bodies, it was clear that Gu Man had cut them with his saber.
In the front row of the crowd, a tall young man with a jade-like face said angrily, "Gu Man, I don't want to make things difficult for you because you are a man. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame us for attacking you together!"
Hehehehe … …
Facing the other party's threat, Gu Man raised the saber in his right hand and laughed bloodthirstily, "You don't dare to kill me, but I dare to kill you. If you have the ability, let's die together. Let's see how many of you I can drag down with me before I die!"
Hearing Gu Man's words, everyone looked at him in a daze.
Mu Tong was expelled from the Academy, but Gu Man was not. According to the rules of the Academy, the students of the Academy were not allowed to kill each other. Anyone who violated this rule would be sent to the suicide squad.
At first, no one believed that Gu Man dared to kill. However, the five warriors had already tested him with their lives. Gu Man really dared to kill. If they had not dodged quickly, they would have been five corpses by now.
Now, everyone wanted to kill Mu Tong, but Gu Man was using his life to protect Mu Tong.
Although there were many people here, they did not have the same mentality as Gu Man. No one was willing to exchange their lives for Mu Tong's.
If there was such a brave person, he would not have waited until today to kill Mu Tong. As the saying goes, if one dares to drag the emperor down, the reason why they waited until today was because everyone lacked the courage to fight with their lives on the line.
However, Gu Man did not lack this courage. He was never afraid of fighting with his life on the line.
From the day he followed Mu Tong when he was eight years old, he fought with his life on the line. You don't dare to kill me, but I dare to kill you! It was with this determination and ruthlessness that he came to where he was today.
Humph!
