Chapter 154: 153 Someone broke in

The mark previously placed on Gu Yuan’s body now became Yun Ran’s ’navigation’ to find him.

[Host, that guy Gu Yuan, might he have come looking for you because he was worried about you? If something happens to him, those people from the Gu Family will definitely tear you apart!]

Although Gu Yuan’s relationship with the current ruling elders of the Gu Family is very tense, it’s only because they hold different ideals.

Putting official business aside, Gu Yuan is still their darling and their reverse scale; anyone who dares to harm Gu Yuan will provoke those old men of the Gu Family to risk their entire family’s lives for revenge.

"At this moment, you seem very capable, don’t you? How could I not know?"

Yun Ran directly unsealed the Ghost King’s bead; previously, she sealed the Ghost King, allowing it only the ability to devour demonic energy, fearing its rebellious nature might harm innocent people, and even more, that it could scare people.

Now this place is the Ghost World; walking on the Ghost Path naturally eliminates the fear of the Ghost King harming people.

The Ghost King regained her original appearance, a very delicate young lady, and even looked somewhat gentle.

"Master, I remember now, my home is in the Ghost World. I was captured and taken to the Human World to do evil deeds!"

Yun Ran waved her hand: "When I return to the Human World, I’ll set you free!"

Keeping the Ghost King was originally to find the person behind the scenes; now there’s no need since the entire clubhouse has been moved to the territory of the Ghost World – they have already come knocking.

The Ghost King was scared by Yun Ran, and even now in her own territory, she didn’t dare to act rashly, obediently following behind Yun Ran.

Yun Ran sensed that the aura on Gu Yuan’s body was getting weaker and hurriedly quickened her pace.

At this moment, Gu Yuan, struggling to cover his arm that was slashed by a Ghost Blade, saw his blood turning black.

He hadn’t expected to be so unlucky, initially encountering a parade of Ghost World’s elites, and in his panic to flee, he ran into two clashing Ghost Armies.

Even though he had several Magic Artifacts on him, this was the Ghost World where the effects of those artifacts were suppressed; if not for his swift escape, it would have been more than just a minor injury.

Not to mention, the scent of a living human on him had already made him a target coveted by the Evil Ghosts; there was absolutely nowhere to flee.

"Hiss~ If only I had known Yun Ran’s fortune-telling was so accurate, I would have brought more stuff with me. Now, look at me, chased by these Evil Ghosts like a dog!"

If he could have found Yun Ran, maybe he wouldn’t feel so stifled; but now, not even seeing a trace of Yun Ran was utterly frustrating.

[Quick, there’s the scent of a living person over there!]

Gu Yuan immediately held his breath and also took out a Life-saving Talisman passed down by the Gu Family ancestors, sticking it onto his body with a pained expression.

At the same time, at the Gu Family old house, Gu Yuan’s own grandfather sensed that the Life-saving Talisman designated to Gu Yuan had been used, and his face instantly turned dark.

That was an heirloom passed down within the Gu Family, with only three in total – imagine how precious they were. Several times Gu Yuan went on missions and nearly died, yet he had never been willing to use one.

Now that one has suddenly been used, it indicated not only was he encountering life-threatening danger but also that he needed to convey some crucial information to the family.

"Someone, gather all the Clan Elders remaining here. Everyone, to the Ancestor Tower!"

Each Life-saving Talisman had a corresponding message talisman; once used, the message talisman would immediately relay the situation of the person in danger back.

Soon, all the remaining Clan Elders of the Gu Family arrived at the Ancestor Tower, each with a very solemn expression.

The Ancestor Tower of the Gu Family hadn’t been opened for thirty years; opening it now certainly meant something significant had happened.

Uncle Gu looked at his elder brother with a livid expression and stepped forward to ask, "Could it be that something has happened to that boy Gu Yuan?"

Gu Yuan’s grandfather did not speak immediately, waiting until everyone had entered the Ancestor Tower, and then they discovered that the second Life-saving Talisman had been used.

"Old Three, how did you guess something happened to Gu Yuan?"

Listening to his elder brother’s voice, even carrying a hint of questioning, Uncle Gu didn’t react sensitively.

"I received news from Huannan that Gu Yuan had utilized the resources over there. You know, this child wouldn’t do that unless something had happened."

Another Clan Elder, previously infuriated by Gu Yuan to the point of almost fainting, had a touch of urgency and heartache flashing across his eyes.

"I’ll personally make a trip to Huannan!"

"Let’s figure out what happened first, then I’ll go!"

Gu Yuan’s own grandfather was one of the stabilizing pillars of the Gu Family; there really weren’t many situations that could make him personally intervene.

Together, they quickly figured out the message relayed by the message talisman: Gu Yuan was actually injured by a group of Evil Ghosts!

"At Huannan, how could suddenly so many Evil Ghosts appear? Immediately contact the Special Administration Bureau, Old Three, you come with me to Huannan!"

Old Master Gu held a position that naturally allowed him to speak directly with Xie Xuzhi.

Having heard that someone had given Gu Yuan a fortune-telling prediction of certain death, and Gu Yuan had not followed the upper echelon’s instructions to pull back,

Old Master Gu was almost made livid by this reckless kid; he really was risking his life without valuing the lives of these old men at all.

Just wait, once that stinky kid is rescued, he must be severely punished by confinement!

The Gu Family uncles stationed outside the clubhouse, hearing not only was Gu Yuan hurt by a group of Evil Ghosts but even used the family heirloom Life-saving Talisman meant for the heir.

Their faces changed drastically, followed by a wave of blood rushing backward in their bodies.

They knew all too well, if Gu Yuan was gone, the blow to the Gu Family would be immense.

Leaving one person outside to wait for Old Master Gu and Uncle Gu and others to arrive, the remaining two took up arms, ready to support Gu Yuan.

Yun Ran sensed that more people had passed through the clubhouse gateway into the Ghost World, her expression faltering.

"We can’t allow people to enter this place at will anymore. If too many living people enter the Ghost World, it might catch the attention of those Ghost World bigwigs, and then we might have to stay here forever."

The two uncles of the Gu Family had never dreamed that simply entering the place where the clubhouse was would directly lead them into the Ghost World.

Their expressions dramatically changed, planning to retreat and to pass back the message, but unfortunately, this entrance could only allow entry and not exit.

"Who is it, to have such ability to directly open a gateway to the Ghost World in such an auspicious place!"

No wonder Gu Yuan, that boy, had even used up his Life-saving Talisman; once one stepped into this place, to say it was a one in ten chance of survival was already optimistic.

Unable to retreat, they could only press forward, the two decided to look for Gu Yuan, yet from a distance, they saw a figure.

Their hearts lifted to their throats; in this place, seeing ghosts was normal, seeing people meant double the danger
