Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Shocking News

"With Pei Qingshan’s temperament, I reckon there’s an eight out of ten chance he’d agree. After all, the Treasure Pavilion has recently suffered a great disaster, with countless experts killed or injured. It’s said that even Gu Youlan herself narrowly escaped having her cultivation destroyed."

The man known as Brother Zhai sighed softly. It was clear that he felt great pity for the sudden turn of events at the Treasure Pavilion.

He went on to say, "I really wonder what kind of background that Daoist called Black Crow has, to be so formidable. To think he’d actually want Gu Youlan to become a concubine for his disciple—I’d guess that if he didn’t have some reservations, the Treasure Pavilion would probably no longer exist by now."

"But Brother Zhai, don’t forget, our Zhenwu Sect is no longer as influential as we used to be. If that old man Pei Qingshan really considers accepting an invitation from the Changtian Sword Sect to put pressure on the Treasure Pavilion, in case..."

At this point, the speaking man’s voice hesitated, then continued:

"If Gu Youlan truly agrees to become the concubine servant for that Black Crow Daoist’s disciple when she comes to her senses, then our Zhenwu Sect will definitely be the first sect to face disaster."

"After all, when it comes down to it, those people from the Changtian Sword Sect are being driven by the Black Crow Daoist, and what are we to the Zhenwu Sect? To put it bluntly, we are just cannon fodder for the Changtian Sword Sect."

"Alas..."

As Brother Zhai and the others spoke, they all couldn’t help but sigh once more.

They were all too aware that with their current strength, they had no chance of shaking Pei Qingshan’s foundation within the Zhenwu Sect.

They had gathered here to discuss a way to cope with the current situation.

But as the discussion progressed, they had to resign themselves to the fact that their so-called discussions were nothing more than complaints.

Hidden in the shadows, Zhu Fei’s heart was already roiling with shock.

In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that hiding in this place, he would overhear such appalling news.

Gu Youlan nearly had her cultivation destroyed, the Treasure Pavilion faced great disaster, someone wanted to make Gu Youlan his disciple’s concubine, and then there was that mysterious Black Crow Daoist and his disciple...

To Zhu Fei, these things seemed as unreal as a movie.

But he knew this wasn’t a movie.

Since Brother Zhai and the others could speak of such news, it meant they must have truly heard something before.

Otherwise, why would they come here to talk? Could it be out of boredom, just for fun? That was simply impossible.

With this thought, Zhu Fei suddenly started to worry about Gu Youlan.

After all, Gu Youlan was a friend with whom Zhu Fei had shared hardships.

Moreover, Zhu Fei had a special kind of emotion for Gu Youlan deep in his heart.

Now that he knew Gu Youlan might be in danger, how could his heart not be anxious?

Zhu Fei watched as Brother Zhai and the others in front of him were preparing to leave, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

In the next moment, he threw several Array Flags from his hand, instantly blocking the way for Senior Brother Zhai and the others.

Suddenly feeling the space around them constrained, Brother Zhai, who was actually Zhai Yun, and the others’ complexions drastically changed!

Though they had never witnessed a Trapping Array, with their level of cultivation, suddenly being trapped by someone caused their hearts to sink rapidly.

By now, how could they not know that their conversation had likely been overheard by others?

Realizing that someone had been so stealthily hidden around them, the hearts of Zhai Yun and the others felt waves of chill.

"Friend, since you must have heard our conversation just now, and given that you haven’t informed Pei Qingshan of our affairs, but instead trapped us here, you must have some purpose, right? Could you please reveal your intentions?"

At the crucial moment, it was Zhai Yun who calmed down first.

He glanced around at the already altered environment and then, clasping his hands in salute towards a spot in the void, he said in a heavy voice,

"Eh? Are you guys really not with Pei Qingshan?"

Just then, Zhu Fei’s slightly astonished voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, his figure also began to appear in front of Zhai Yun and the others.

"You... you’re Zhu Fei?"

Zhai Yun suddenly exclaimed, looking at Zhu Fei with eyes full of disbelief.

Although earlier, he had guessed that Zhu Fei’s cultivation was definitely strong, possibly even stronger than his own,

At this moment, when he actually saw Zhu Fei in person, he was horrified to discover that Zhu Fei’s cultivation was far beyond his initial estimate!

"You recognize me?"

Zhu Fei first responded with a question, and then, in the next instant, his aura of murderous intent burst forth, and his face became extremely dark and grim.

The fact that this person could recognize him at a glance meant that within their Zhenwu Sect, there had definitely been discussions about him.

Perhaps at this time, some people from the Zhenwu Sect had already gone after his friends.

With this situation at hand, how could Zhu Fei remain calm?

"Zhu Fei, don’t misunderstand! We indeed are not associated with that Pei Qingshan, and moreover, at present, our entire Zhenwu Sect is busy hosting Pei Qingshan’s birthday feast, and no one has yet left the mountain to go after your friends."

Zhai Yun reacted very sensitively.

As soon as he had revealed Zhu Fei’s identity, he knew that his action might lead to Zhu Fei’s misunderstanding, so without waiting for Zhu Fei’s outburst, he quickly explained.

"Really?"

Upon hearing Zhai Yun’s explanation, Zhu Fei’s surrounding aura of killing intent gradually subsided a little.

But his expression remained unfriendly, his eyes coldly fixed on Zhai Yun and the others present.

"That’s correct, because the ones who wanted to deal with you and your friends are Pei Qingshan and Zang Yan, and both of them are still within our Zhenwu Sect, having not yet descended the mountain, so..."

"Hmm, I understand."

Zhu Fei interrupted Zhai Yun before he could finish.

Then, after a moment of thought, he asked, "The issue with the Treasure Pavilion being pressured by the Three Great Sects you mentioned just now, what exactly is going on? Also, how is Gu Youlan now? Is she in any real danger?"

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s inquiry, Zhai Yun and the others had a moment of realization, so it turned out that Zhu Fei had trapped them here because he wanted to ask about this matter.

Yet upon further consideration, they immediately understood.

It had been rumored that the relationship between Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan was not simple, and now it appeared that this matter was very likely true.

With this in mind, Zhai Yun instinctively looked around and couldn’t help but clasp his hands in a salute again to Zhu Fei:

"Brother Zhu, we actually aren’t too clear about the specifics of this matter, but since you’ve now asked, I naturally won’t hide anything."

"It’s just that this place is really not convenient for talking. If Brother Zhu trusts me or if Brother Zhu doesn’t mind, shall we change locations before we continue this discussion?"
