Chapter 235: The Heir Of The Gui Family

Listening to Xiu Wu’s explanation, Ren Yuan clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and said, "No wonder Jia Xiang is only two years younger than me, but he looks like a teenager.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "So you think the reason why Jiaxiang became a zombie was not because of the doomsday virus infection, but because someone purposely turned him into a zombie?"

Looking at his expression, Xiu Wu calmly replied: "Yes."

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into silence. After looking at their gloomy expressions, Tan Wei patted Ren Yuan on the shoulder and said, "These are just our guesses. Let’s go find more information first before making any conclusions."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. Seeing that their moods improved a little bit, Tan Wei looked at Xiu Wu and said, "Lao Xiu, you said you saw something before. Have you found it?"

Xiu Wu shook his head and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

Seeing everyone was here, he looked at them and said, "Let’s check this place first."

After that, they divided into teams of four to find clues. While they were searching for clues, a handsome man stood in front of the thick fog.

He stared at the thick fog for a long time, then turned to look at a tall and burly man beside him, and said, "This is an illusion barrier. Let the others know and don’t let them get close to the barrier. If they get lost in the illusion barrier, even I won’t be able to find them."

The burly man nodded and said, "Young Master, do you want to break through this illusion barrier?"

The handsome man thought for a while and said, "I’m not sure whether I can break this illusion barrier or not. But with my current cultivation level, I should be able to open a gap and let us pass this test."

Hearing what he said, the burly man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don’t know how strong this person is if he can set up a barrier that even you can’t break through."

The handsome man glanced at him and said, "This person should be an expert. You must be careful when you meet this person in the future. Make sure you don’t offend him."

The burly man nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. I will tell the others about this."

After the burly man left, the handsome man studied the illusion barrier for more than ten minutes but did not find any loopholes. He folded his arms and thought: ’I have never seen this kind of formation. Is this a new formation or an ancient formation?’

He thought for a few more minutes before making a hand seal. When the seal was completed, a small formation appeared in the air in front of him. Placing his right palm on the small formation, he injected his spiritual energy into the small formation.

The next second, the small formation lit up, and a ray of light shot out from the small formation. The moment the light hit the illusion barrier, Zhu Lin opened her eyes. She got out of bed and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window thoughtfully.

Outside the thick fog, the handsome man looked at the light that disappeared after colliding with the illusion barrier. He frowned slightly and then injected more spiritual energy into the small formation. In the next second, countless rays of light shot out from the small formation and bombarded the illusion barrier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seeing that after attacking the illusion barrier for more than thirty seconds and could not cause even a ripple on the barrier, the handsome man’s brows frowned deeply. He retracted his palm from the small formation and then performed a complex hand seal. Two seconds later, the sword he carried behind his back flew out of its scabbard.

Swish~!

Just when the sword was about to penetrate the illusion barrier, Zhu Lin suddenly appeared in front of the sword. She raised her right hand and held the sword between her index and middle fingers. When the handsome man saw her floating in the air with her fingers holding the sword, his eyes flickered.

"It’s you." He said with a hint of surprise in his voice.

Zhu Lin glanced down at him, flicked her fingers, and threw the sword back to him. When he saw the sword shooting towards him at an extremely fast speed, the man quickly dodged to the side.

Stab! Crack!

Looking at the cracks spreading from the tip of the sword that pierced the ground, he swallowed subconsciously. Knowing that this beautiful woman’s cultivation level was higher than his own, the handsome man’s expression changed.

He clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly as he said in a polite tone: "Venerable Master, please forgive this junior for being rude."

Seeing that he had no intention of fighting against her, Zhu Lin flew down and landed lightly on the ground. She observed him for a moment and said, "I remember we have met before. You sold a lot of black ore to me."

The man raised his eyes, smiled politely at her, and said, "Yes. Please allow this junior to introduce myself. My name is Gui Xuheng, heir to the Gui family. Venerable Master, may I know your name?"

Zhu Lin looked at him for a few seconds and calmly replied: "My name is Zhu Lin. What do you want to do by destroying the illusion barrier? Do you want to declare war on us?"

The moment she said that Gui Xuheng smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "It’s a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding. This junior thought this illusion barrier was a test before we could meet you, so we tried to break through it."

After speaking, he swallowed and thought: ’With a strong cultivator like you living in this base, who dares to declare war on the Wu Lin base?’
