Bulwark of Light

Chapter 967 Peerless Ruthless Man
"check!"

"Check it carefully for me!"

The holy inquisitors dispersed and searched at the port of call of the Gu family mission. To ensure nothing was lost, the cloud ship hovering above the port of call also lowered a glow similar to [enchantment]. For these actions, Gu Nanfeng just He waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

Every transcendent in the Gu family mission was summoned.

Yao Jin checked one by one...

【Guangming Jian】was completely ineffective. After that point of glow mark was dimmed, it never appeared again.

Yao Jin could only identify people by virtue of their wounds, but this time the search failed. No one in the Gu family mission was injured... let alone a shoulder arrow wound.

In his cognition.

There are very few people in the entire five continents who can eliminate the arrow wounds of the [Red Phoenix Crossbow] in just one night!

Not to mention, the fleeing target has been under the tracking of the cloud boat... How long has it been since he escaped to the port of anchorage, even if the conversation with the Gu family delays for some time, it is impossible to recover from his injuries!
If you are not in the mission, you must be hiding in the cabin.

After Yao Jin checked the members of the mission, he immediately set off to participate in the search of the port of call. He had a strong premonition in his heart.

Half a day passed.

From sunrise to dawn, to noon in the scorching sun.

This absurd search came to an end. Those holy inquisitors who were aggressive before were silent one by one. They assembled their teams and returned to Yao Jin's side.

The sun is burning.

Yao Jin, who was thin and frail, looked as pale as paper.

"Finished?" Gu Nanfeng asked.

"...The investigation is over."

Yao Jin's voice was hoarse: "Young Master Gu, this matter is a misunderstanding."

"laugh."

Luo Yu on the side couldn't help laughing.

Yao Jin clenched his fingers tightly, but had nothing to say.

"Since the investigation is over, what are you still doing here?"

Gu Nanfeng said calmly: "Remember to tell the great elder of the temple that when I arrive in Guangming City tomorrow, I will meet him to make amends in person."

Yao Jin opened his mouth, but finally swallowed those useless words of apology.

When he saw Luo Yu's sarcastic smiling face, the veins on his forehead were bulging... In his long and gloomy life, it was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.

Until he left the port of call, Yao Jin didn't understand which part of the process had problems.

……

……

After the Holy Inquisitor left, the shadow of the cloud boat hovering over Gu's giant ship also gradually dissipated.

Under the huge shadow, the port of call is oppressive.

At this moment, the zenith finally appeared, and the night watchmen of the Gu family were also busy... Today was already busy with trivial matters, and they needed to deal with a bunch of Xidu items, but Yao Jin led people to disturb them, which delayed half a day. The next itinerary Another delay is required.

"My lord, those few words you just said are really exhausting!"

Luo Yu lay prone in front of the railing, and said cheerfully: "This bitch surnamed Yao, when he left, he looked like a dead person!"

Gu Nanfeng looked at the backs of the holy inquisitors leaving, and hummed lightly.

He suddenly said: "So who is the person who sent you to Ghent last night?"

These words were not addressed to Luo Yu.

Among the team of night watchmen from the Gu family, Zhong Fan slowly stood up.

His expression was slightly pale, but the arrow wound on his shoulder had healed. Last night after Gu Shen used the fire of vitality to pull out the "Bright Mark", the wound scabbed and fell off within a few tens of seconds. It was like a miracle!
"Master Nanfeng, I told you...in the Ice Sea Ruins, the advance team encountered an 'evil ghost' of unknown origin."

When Zhong Fan fled to the port of anchorage, it was too urgent.

Just that one out.

He didn't have time to talk to Gu Nanfeng...

At this moment, he slowly talked about what happened last night.

After listening to it, Luo Yu hated iron for being weak: "You boy, you seem to be very smart on weekdays, why did you do such a stupid thing without making a sound? Do you know that if that'evil ghost' didn't save you, you would be so smart now? It's already a corpse!"

"I……"

Zhong Fan let out a long sigh.

He knew last night that he acted impulsively.

"This matter is over, so don't pursue the responsibility."

Gu Nanfeng was as gentle as ever. He patted Fatty Luo on the shoulder to signal the latter not to get angry, and asked softly, "You mean... the 'evil ghost' you met had the ability of fire, and it only took a while to get angry. In 10 minutes, the injury on your body will be repaired?"

"Yes."

Zhong Fan said solemnly: "He even pulled out the so-called [Bright Mirror] mark, which is simply amazing... Yao Jin would never have guessed that someone in this world could disperse the [Red Phoenix Crossbow] Find out all the thousands of strands of spiritual light, and pull them out in an instant. In order to lure Yao Jin away, Senior Evil Ghost specially left a mark, asking me to destroy it after arriving at the port of call."

Think back to the scene from last night.

He couldn't help asking: "Master Nanfeng, don't you know this person?"

"Using fire can heal serious injuries, and the mental power is incomparably outstanding..."

Gu Nanfeng shook his head as he recalled the current titles of everyone in Dongzhou.

Don't talk about Dongzhou.

Looking at the entire five continents, he couldn't think of anyone who fit Zhong Fan's description.

Zhong Fan murmured: "That's strange, from his tone, it seems that he knows you, and is very familiar..."

"Familiar?"

Gu Nanfeng's heartstrings were touched for no reason.

He suddenly thought of a figure.

According to Zhong Fan's description, there is indeed no such a number one person in Wuzhou today... But if the time is pushed forward a few years, there is a very suitable candidate, but that person died in Sangzhou Grotto Under the eruption of the volcano, it was completely submerged in the torrent.

He also joined the Nagano investigation team in his spare time, trying to find the truth about Gu Shen's death.

At last.

Gu Nanfeng had to admit this fact, and then slowly accepted it.

"My lord, have you thought of that person?"

Luo Yu at the side, seeing Gu Nanfeng in a daze, couldn't help but speak.

"They're all dead..."

Gu Nanfeng shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "The dead are gone, this kind of thought should be considered a delusion."

He looked at Zhong Fan and said, "What else did that evil ghost say to you?"

"He told me what to do when I came to the port of call."

Zhong Fan said slowly: "According to what he said, I left a ray of light, and waited until the cloud boat hovered and approached, and the Holy Inquisitor collided with the mission, and then I extinguished it... After that, everything happened as he expected. Choose to search forcibly."

In the end, of course, there will be no results.

After hearing this, Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This evil ghost has a good plan, and Yao Jin is definitely not a good person... If your timing is not so precise, it would be difficult for him to suffer such a big loss. "

[Guangming Jian] The glow is extinguished just right!

At that time, Yao Jin had only one choice... Bite the bullet and search.

As long as he catches up to the port of anchorage, he is destined to conflict with the Gu family mission!

"not that simple."

Gu Nanfeng suddenly said, "If he just wants to make Yao Jin suffer, why should he make you travel all night and come here at sunrise..."

Luo Yu was stunned for a second, and immediately understood what the young master meant.

"He is using the hands of the Gu family to delay Yao Jin."

Gu Nanfeng calmly said: "The chief judge deliberately ordered that none of Nagano's five major families and three major courts need to intervene in the 'Uto case'. It is impossible to tolerate him alive, and there is only one explanation for making this arrangement. Nagano is convinced that someone will kill him."

Zhong Fan didn't dare to answer the question: "So you mean..."

Gu Nanfeng looked at Zhong Fan and said, "It's not easy to kill Wu Tuo. Guangming City has a thousand ways to hide him from us. And the best time to kill him is right now... Wu Tuo The identity has just been exposed, leading to the 'assassin', everyone thought this farce was over. Because in their eyes, the real 'murderer' has been locked by Yao Jin."

"Yao Jin chased you, but he killed someone."

"The reason why I let you run around in the middle of the night is to see Yao Jin's reaction..."

"Obviously, the Holy Inquisitor let you go. From the very beginning, Yao Jin didn't believe that the assassination last night was a coincidence. How could the 'assassin' who had been waiting for so long have no one behind the scenes?"

Gu Nanfeng smiled softly, "And who is that person?"

Looking at Dongzhou, there is only one person who fits Yao Jin's image of "the man behind the scenes" best.

"That's me."

Gu Nanfeng sighed softly: "So Yao Jin has to lead people to search the giant ship no matter what, because he waited all night and finally waited for the target to arrive at the berthing port... As long as he finds the 'Guangmingjian Mark' here, everything will be saved." It's all over. The purpose of the Gu family's mission can no longer be explained clearly. My journey to the west has just begun, and it will come to an end. If the murder of the mission becomes a reality, Xizhou has a very good reason to refuse me to step into the light city."

"This guy is really insidious..."

After Luo Yu finished listening, a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"To deal with people like Yao Jin, you have to use this kind of move. He is indeed a person who knows me well..."

Gu Nanfeng looked towards the inland of Ghent City, and murmured: "He knows very well that even if I have no time to explain when I send you to the mission, I will definitely protect you with all my strength. As for the later conflicts, it is logical and will happen naturally. When I knew that Yao Jin was looking for the 'behind the scenes', I would take advantage of the situation and act as the 'behind the scenes'."

"So he's going to kill someone now?"

Zhong Fan looked ugly, and said, "Is there any danger?"

"At any time, killing Wu Tuo is a dangerous thing."

Gu Nanfeng said: "According to my information, Yuan Yang, the second elder of the temple, has disappeared for a long time, and he must have been punished. The reason why Yao Jin can be reused by the temple is because he saved No. [-], the most important dark thread." So no matter what he wants to do with Wu Tuo, he must ensure the safety of this important person. This search of the giant ship of the Gu Family Mission did not find the murderer. It is nothing to Yao Jin. The elder came to apologize , just hurt the face, and didn't touch the root."

"But if Wu Tuo dies..."

"Through the matter of the No. [-] dark line, half of the 'momentum' he had finally accumulated in the temple will dissipate, and it will belong to the half trusted by the Great Elder."

Luo Yu continued following the young master: "So for such an important person as Wu Tuo, Yao Jin will definitely use all his strength to protect him, either by sending him to a place that is absolutely hidden, or sending a master guard who will never cause any accidents. .”

"I searched for a long time a while ago... There has been no news of Wu Tuo."

Zhong Fan suddenly said: "I guess he was sent outside Guangming City?"

"Yao Jin is soft-spoken, and there are probably very few strong men who can listen to his orders."

Gu Nanfeng smiled and said: "But even if there are some strong people in Guangming City protecting Wutuo...it's useless. After all, in your description, the evil spirit can easily tear two people apart with one against two. The titled peerless ruthless man."
