Chapter 410: Chapter 172: The World’s Pact!_3

"Grandfather!!!"

He flipped off his horse in one swift motion, nearly tumbling to the ground, then, disregarding any decorum, with eyes reddening, he staggered and ran towards that direction. His mind was a blank, feeling only his heart pounding relentlessly.

Grandfather was gone.

He, he truly only had this uncertain father left.

Chen Dingye gritted his teeth, "Tantai Xianming..."

At The World’s First Building, Guest Elder Tu Shengyuan nearly crushed his pen, his face shifting colors. After a long while, he let out a long breath and murmured, feeling a series of significant events at the end of the grand ceremony bombarding his mind, making his forehead throb, "Really have encountered a major event..."

One of the top ten scholars in the world, the strategist, sat there with his head placed in front of him.

There were wounds on his body from a Battle Halberd.

His neck had been severed by the Battle Sword of the Imperial Guard. Chen Wenmian burst into tears, but then noticed there was writing inside the old man’s sleeve. His hands trembling, he reached to take a look and saw a line written—[My killer is Li Guanyi, under the command of Yue Pengwu’s assassins]!

Chen Wenmian felt a tightness in his chest, his body shaking, nearly coughing up blood, and he roared:

"Li Guanyi!!!"

......

Boom!!!

As thunder roared, during the opening of the grand ceremony, Zhao Dabing, steering an Exotic Beast Divine Chariot, forced his way through hundreds of miles of road, returning to Guan Yi City. The city gate blocked the way, and Zhao Dabing called out, "Xue Family, brothers, open the gate!"

The Xue Family had a vast influence and were entrenched here; moreover, Zhao Dabing was a familiar face.

Naturally, no one dared to block the road, and the carriage sped into the Xue Family. Li Guan tightly pursed his lips; the young mistress had already awoken. On the road, Li Guan had explained the general cause of the events, hiding some things the young mistress need not know about. She just sat there quietly.

Without saying a word.

The carriage sped all the way to the Xue Family. Li Guan leaped down and ran into the courtyard, but did not find his aunt’s figure. His face changed, and he quickly inquired from those around. They curiously responded, "Huh? Don’t you know?"

"Just yesterday afternoon, a girl with silver-white hair, very pretty, came here."

"She drove a carriage and was carrying two large parcels, then your aunt left with her. We even said it was by your orders."

"That girl also gave me a bag of steamed buns."

"The buns were good, just a bit overcooked, a bit of a waste."

Silver-white-haired girl?

Li Guan was stunned, then the tension he had held tight during his hurried journey seemed to release all at once. He stepped back half a step, gasping for breath.

It was Shaking Light!

This fellow—

Li Guan exhaled deeply, imagining the girl convincing his aunt expressionlessly, having run ahead to this place beforehand. Indeed, at that time, he had been in the Imperial Palace, and it was difficult for the Three Sects of the World to enter due to its unique nature.

"Oh, right, that girl also asked me to give you this."

A Xue Family woman passed him a letter, which contained a map drawn inside.

Clearly, Shaking Light had sensed something wrong beforehand and, unable to contact Li Guan, chose to rush back directly, taking Li Guan’s greatest vulnerability to a safe place.

So Li Guan could be unencumbered, at ease.

The map scrawled like a doodle in the letter was probably where Shaking Light and his aunt were.

Li Guan thanked her and put away the letter. Zhao Dabing had already rushed in, grabbing Li Guan to the Wind Listening Pavilion. The charioteer seemed not to care anymore, lifting the curtain and taking Li Guan to an inner room, pointing at the War Bow.

Divine Weapon, Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow.

"Guan Yi, the former Family Head said, take this thing with you."

Li Guan pursed his lips, reaching out to grasp the War Bow. The Divine Weapon trembled slightly, emitting a series of clear and melodious whistles, before stabilizing in Li Guan’s hands. He could almost see the old man before him, his spirit soaring to the skies.

’Take it, and conquer this world!’

The heroic spirit of heroes, from ancient times to the present, is unending.

Li Guan grasped the Divine Weapon, preparing to leave the place he had lived for several months, when suddenly, the sound of armor clanking emitted from outside. Then Guan Yi City’s imperial guards burst in, all in armor and wielding weapons, led by Colonels and Generals.

Crossbow arrows were drawn, someone shouted loudly, "By the order of General Lu Youxian!"

"Xue Family’s carriage returns from the Imperial Palace, Li Guan dons armor and breaks into the city at night. The General fears there is unrest in the palace, Xue Family is fleeing, hence he invites all to the mansion for a talk!"

"If we have truly wronged you, the General will personally apologize later!"

"Gentlemen, please."

Li Guan and Zhao Dabing were taken aback. Lu Youxian was a famous general in charge of defending Chen Country.

He was scorned by Elder Xue and Yue Qianfeng like a coward.

Such a man may not have high martial arts, but he was definitely calm, absolutely rational, doubting in his mind upon seeing the Xue Family’s Exotic Beast level carriage rushing back before the grand ceremony. He was set on controlling any potential threats.

If Li Guan were to be detained at Lu Youxian’s place,

Once the news from Jiangzhou arrived, it would be certain death.

Yet if they were to break out, it would be akin to the Xue Family directly clashing with the City Lord Mansion. The Xue Family had many who were not skilled in martial arts. Once the confrontation began, how many would die?

But Li Guan and Zhao Dabing’s hesitation already had Lu Youxian’s personal soldiers drawing their weapons, their killing intent overwhelming. At that moment, Xue Shuangtao suddenly swayed, bumping into Li Guan then grabbing his hand and passing him a dagger.
