Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: The Exposure of the Matter

"I didn’t, you’re talking nonsense," the leader of Xuanjian Sect was very angry, and loudly rebuked, "Jian Shen, you invited us to discuss major issues together and to deal with the vampires from the West, but now you are saying that I am colluding with them. You just want an excuse to eliminate us."

To this, Jian Shen was dismissive, "Whether what I say is true can be easily proven. It is daytime now and the sun hasn’t set yet, vampires cannot come out. We can go check the houses at the foot of the mountain right now to know the truth. But the question is, do you, leader of Xuanjian Sect, dare to let us go and check?"

The leader of the Xuanjian Sect was stunned, and even showed a panic-stricken expression, which betrayed him.

Jian Shen added another sentence, "Your Xuanwu Alliance has been growing too quickly, just like how the Devil Cult did back in the days, because you have the vampires from the West backing you up. I have investigated; when your Xuanwu Alliance attacked some sects, those sects had already been crippled by some unidentified top-notch fighters before your attack, making it very easy for you to clean them up."

"What, these unidentified top-notch fighters are the vampires from the West?" Members of the Xuanwu Alliance were also shocked, looking at the leader of Xuanjian Sect with questioning eyes.

At this moment, Lu Bei spoke up, "Alright, everyone, whether it’s true or false, we’ll see for ourselves once we go check at the mountain’s base."

"Yes, if there really are vampires from the West, now that it is daytime, it’s the perfect opportunity to eliminate them." Whether it was the Martial Arts Alliance or the Xuanwu Alliance, they were united in their enmity. In matters of national justice, no one was unclear, and many looked at the leader of Xuanjian Sect with disdain.

Gu Fan watched everything silently, feeling smug inside, because this had put him in a winning position.

Mo Yun was anxious, wanting to go and tip off the others, but a Jian Qi shot towards her, blocking her exit, along with Jian Shen’s stern warning, "Starting now, no one may leave randomly. We will all go together and witness together. Jin Yi, lead the way."

Under Jian Shen’s guidance, everyone followed him towards the small town at the foot of the mountain, and during this time, Mo Yun and the leader of the Xuanjian Sect could only suppress their anger and blend in with the large group.

Gleaning his opportunity amid the chaotic crowd, Gu Fan found Lu Bei, "Good job, Brother Lu, you didn’t disappoint me, you really understood the meaning of my words."

"How about that, I’m pretty impressive, right?" Lu Bei had an air of self-admiration, rendering Gu Fan speechless.

Lu Bei added, "I didn’t expect that you would be able to blend in among them. But looking at you, it seems you had no choice."

Gu Fan simply nodded, "I have to survive somehow. But thankfully, I found a way to notify you. Otherwise, you would have really been used."

"Alright, we owe you one for this," Lu Bei said, and then hurried to catch up with the main group, but Gu Fan stopped him again, "Brother Lu, don’t rush off. I have something else to ask you, do you know where Qian Ye is?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bei looked a bit troubled, "Brother Gu, it’s not that I want to hide anything from you, but we really got separated from Qian Ye."

Gu Fan couldn’t hide his disappointment, feeling like finding Lin Xi was an increasingly distant prospect. He really wanted to end all this and return to modern times soon. The ancient world had no cell phones, no internet, so boring.

Curious, Lu Bei asked, "Brother Gu, may I ask what your relationship is with Qian Ye? Could it really be..."

Gu Fan immediately waved his hands, "Brother Lu, don’t overthink it. Qian Ye and I aren’t what you think. It’s just that Qian Ye looks a lot like someone I deeply love, and only Qian Ye knows where that person is."

"Is that so?" Lu Bei looked half convinced, while Gu Fan immediately swore to himself, thinking, that’s right, the person I love is not Qian Ye, it’s Lin Xi, but I’m not sure if you’ve confused Qian Ye with Lin Xi.

After this incident, Lu Bei decided to trust Gu Fan and immediately became invigorated, quickly going to look for Jian Shen.

Seeing Lu Bei excitedly running towards the main group, Gu Fan couldn’t help but sigh, "You’re all fine, and now I’m the one in trouble."

As Gu Fan walked on with a troubled look on his face, he saw someone standing on the road halfway and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Mo Yun looked like she had been waiting for a long time and coldly questioned, "Why are you here? Why didn’t you follow us?"

Gu Fan chuckled, "It was crowded just now; I don’t know how I got separated from you all while walking. Luckily, I still found my beautiful master."

"Really?" Mo Yun looked unconvinced, "I just saw you getting quite close to Lu Bei. Why do Jian Shen and the others know about our cooperation with the second batch of vampires? Did you tip them off?"

Gu Fan immediately explained, "How could that be? I was with you guys all the time. How could I have had the chance to tip anyone off? And beautiful master, didn’t you realize? The vampires, like Xue Wang, they’re done for. What we need to do now is just run."

After hearing this, Mo Yun also felt it made sense. Now during the daylight, Xue Wang and the others were trapped in the houses, and they could be taken care of with just a fire.

"But what about the true immortality elixir?" Mo Yun was still somewhat reluctant, but Gu Fan reassured her, "What’s there to worry about? Without Xue Wang, can’t we find it ourselves? We also know the marks of those five guardians, don’t we?"

It dawned on Mo Yun that Gu Fan made too much sense.

"At this point, Lord Xiong and Xue Wang can only hope for the best; we won’t be of help if we go, and it’s not our fault," Mo Yun found a justifiable excuse for herself, while Gu Fan admired this woman’s ability to be opportunistic and disloyal, quite on par with Ning Qi.

However, Mo Yun was still worried, "What if, after Jian Shen deals with Xue Wang and the others, he issues a Martial Arts Death Warrant to hunt us down?"

"It’s possible, but the two of us are just insignificant characters. I think their main target will be the leader of Xuanjian Sect," Gu Fan was of course not worried about this since he was the one who tipped them off. He was on the side of righteousness unless Jian Shen was jealous of Gu Fan as a rival in love and wanted to get rid of him.

Gu Fan believed in Lin Xi’s judgement and was confident that she wouldn’t be with a despicable person. So, Gu Fan trusted Jian Shen’s character.

"Alright, beautiful master, we’re no longer needed here. Let’s hurry on our way." As Gu Fan spoke, he took hold of Mo Yun’s hand, and the two hurried down the mountain, seeking to distance themselves from everything.

Suddenly, an inexplicable unease overtook Gu Fan. He had never felt this way before, so he looked towards the small town at the mountain’s base, wondering if there was still a chance for things to change.
