Gu Zong's body was filled with a terrifying aura. He was very angry. He had never been so angry before.
Because he had sensed the fluctuations of a battle, he had entered Sword Continent City. He hadn't expected to see that old bastard Luo He attacking his disciple.
He had found such a precious disciple with great difficulty. How could he let that old bastard Luo He kill him?
Therefore, Gu Zong directly released his tyrannical strength, sending a fist at Luo He. At the same time, he roared.
Gu Zong's roar shook all the cultivators outside the sword range. Even Luo Hanshan, who was fighting with Jian Wufeng, stopped attacking.
BANG!
Gu Zong's fist collided with Luo He's fist, forcing Luo He back. At this moment, the pressure on Fang Chen instantly dissipated.
"Are you alright?"
After forcing Luo He back, Gu Zong went over to Fang Chen. He checked Fang Chen's body and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine."
After seeing Gu Zong appear, Fang Chen knew that he wouldn't die today.
He looked at the distant Luo He with hatred. He swore in his heart that as long as he lived, he would definitely kill Luo He.
After checking Fang Chen's body and confirming that Fang Chen was fine, Gu Zong turned to look at Luo He.
At this time, the cultivators outside the sword range had gone completely crazy. They hadn't expected that even a grand refiner like Gu Zong would know Fang Chen. Furthermore, he was willing to fight for Fang Chen.
"Isn't that the grand refiner Gu Zong from the western region? Why would he appear in Sword Continent City?"
"Gu Zong seems to know Fang Chen. Furthermore, he seems to be helping Fang Chen resist Luo He."
"What's going on? Just what kind of background does this Fang Chen have? Why would Gu Zong personally help him?"
"And from the looks of it, Gu Zong is furious."
The cultivators were in an uproar when they saw Gu Zong appear. Countless cultivators guessed the relationship between Gu Zong and Fang Chen.
Even Jian Wufeng was delighted to see Gu Zong take action for Fang Chen. Although he didn't know the relationship between the two, at least with Gu Zong around, Luo He and Luo Hanshan wouldn't be able to do anything to Fang Chen.
"Luo He, do you want to die?"
Gu Zong's eyes widened. His entire body was filled with a murderous aura as he looked at Luo He and asked coldly.
Seeing Gu Zong appear, Luo Hanshan's expression changed slightly. He had not expected Gu Zong to appear here.
"Gu Zong, are you going to stand up for this brat?" Luo He naturally recognized Gu Zong.
"This brat killed my senior brother's disciple. Even if it's your ancient sect, don't even think about stopping us from killing this brat," said Luo Hanshan coldly.
If the two of them joined hands, they would not be afraid of the ancient sects.
Hearing this, Gu Zong became even more furious. They actually wanted to kill his disciple in front of him. Did they really think that he, Gu Zong, was someone who could be easily bullied?
"Good, very good. It seems that after not coming to the central region for so many years, everyone has already forgotten my ancient sect's reputation."
Gu Zong laughed wildly. Then his eyes turned scarlet. "Today, with my ancient sect here, none of you will be able to touch Fang Chen."
Gu Zong's words caused Luo He to frown slightly. He didn't want to become enemies with Gu Zong, so he said, "Brother Gu Zong, there's no need for people on our level to shed all pretenses for someone unrelated to us. He killed my disciple, so I'll take his life. It's that simple."
"Bullshit, your disciple is your disciple. My disciple is not a disciple. I, Gu Zong, will put my words here. If anyone dares to touch my disciple, even if I have to risk my life, I will drag them down with me." Gu Zong became even more furious and directly cursed.
The surrounding cultivators all cried out in alarm. They hadn't expected Fang Chen to be Gu Zong's disciple.
"He's a core disciple of Gu Zong?! How is that possible?!"
"No wonder Gu Zong is willing to shed all pretenses with Luo He for him. So that's why."
"This kid is really lucky to be able to become Gu Zong's disciple."
"Yeah, it's said that Gu Zong has a bad temper. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to speak to him." Many cultivators were shocked.
Even Luo He and Luo Hanshan were stunned when they heard that Fang Chen was Gu Zong's disciple.
However, a cold light flashed in Luo He's eyes. "The hatred of my disciple must be avenged."
"That's right, this kid must die today. Gu Zong, you can't stop him." Luo Hanshan said coldly.
The atmosphere instantly froze. Jian Wufeng walked to Gu Zong's side and said, "Fang Chen is a disciple of my Sword Reverence Sect. I hope the two of you can give the Sword Reverence Sect some face."
Jian Wufeng's meaning was clear. He wanted to protect Fang Chen together with Gu Zong.
Luo He's face turned gloomy. He didn't say anything, but looked straight at Gu Zong. No one knew what he was thinking.
The scene instantly fell into silence. Gu Zong looked coldly at Luo Hanshan and Jian Wufeng, his aura surging.
"Let's go."
Suddenly, Gu Zong said to Fang Chen.
Since Luo Hanshan and Luo He were together, even if Gu Zong wanted to avenge Fang Chen, he couldn't do anything. Because their strength was similar, he could only give up on this matter.
However, at this moment, Luo He spoke.
"Gu Zong, I'm afraid that if you don't hand over this kid today, you won't be able to leave this place." Luo He said.
"You want to keep me here?"
Gu Zong turned his head and glared at Luo He.
"Of course I can't stop you. But what if it's someone else?"
Just as Luo He's voice faded, a ripple appeared in the air. Then, a figure appeared out of nowhere.
"Gu Zong, you've gone too far."
As soon as this figure appeared, Gu Zong felt an immense pressure.
"Martial Marquis Ranking expert." Gu Zong shouted in his heart.
That figure slowly stood in front of Luo He and Luo Hanshan. Every movement he made was filled with a terrifying aura. His voice shook the hearts of everyone present.
"Gu Zong, I don't want to make things difficult for you. Leave behind your second son and quickly leave this place." The figure said with a smile.
Gu Zong's body was enveloped in dense Spiritual Qi. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who had arrived. He said word by word: "Luo He, I really underestimated you. I didn't think that you would call Tian He Wu Hou over."
That's right, the person who had arrived was one of the strongest cultivators in the entire Jin Guan Country. He was one of the Marquises of the Martial Marquis Ranking, Tian He Wu Hou.
Tian He Wu Hou and Luo He had a very good relationship. Tian He Wu Hou happened to be in the vicinity of Jian Zhou City. When he received news from Luo He, he immediately rushed to Jian Zhou City.
Tian He Wu Hou's appearance immediately reversed the situation. Gu Zong and the others were in a very disadvantageous situation.
However, Gu Zong's face didn't have the slightest trace of fear.
At this moment, in Jian Zhou City, many powers were extremely shocked. They didn't think that a small Qi Hai disciple would attract the attention of a Marquis Ranking expert.
Usually, it was very difficult to see a Marquis Ranking expert. But now, one had appeared and it was Tian He Wu Hou.
"It's Tian He Wu Hou. I didn't think that Master Luo He would have such a good relationship with him."
"In the Ancient Sword Continent, the relationship between alchemists and blacksmiths is very wide. It's normal for Master Luo He to have such a good relationship with Tian He Wu Hou."
"With Tian He Wu Hou's appearance, Gu Zong is obviously not his opponent. I don't know what choice he will make."
"What else can he do? He can only give up his disciple. Otherwise, he won't be a match for Tian He Wu Hou." Many warriors were discussing.
At this moment, in the inner area of the Sword Range, Tian He Wu Hou had a smile on his face. However, his body was emitting a terrifying Qi, forcing Gu Zong to make a decision.
"Gu Zong, you are not my opponent. You should be clear about the current situation. Hand over this disciple and you can leave safely." Tian He Wu Hou said.
Gu Zong's face was gloomy. He was thinking in his mind. Outsiders thought that Gu Zong was making a difficult decision.
However, only Gu Zong himself knew that he had just contacted his good friends through his communication bracelet.
One of his good friends was in the vicinity of Jianzhou City. After learning of the situation here, he had immediately rushed over.
This good friend of his was also one of the experts on the Martial Marquis list. His strength was similar to Tian He Wu Hou's. Right now, he was stalling for time. Once his good friend arrived, all his difficulties would be easily solved.
"Gu Zong, I'll give you three breaths of time to make a decision." Seeing Gu Zong's silence, Luo He coldly said.
With Tian He Wu Hou here, he didn't believe anything would happen. In his eyes, Fang Chen was already a dead man.
Gu Zong's face deliberately made it seem as if he was making a difficult decision. In reality, he was talking to his good friend.
"How much longer?" Gu Zong secretly asked.
"I'll be there in a minute. You have to hold on."
When Gu Zong heard this, he slowly nodded his head. After which, he lifted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tianhe Martial Marquis, I admit that I am no match for you. However, Fang Chen is my disciple. If I give up on my disciple today, how will my Gu Zong continue to survive in the Jin Guan Nation in the future?"
Tian He Wu Hou didn't say anything. Instead, Luo He opened her mouth.
"Hmph, who can you blame? Your disciple dared to kill my disciple, so he should be prepared to be killed by me. If it weren't for your Gu Zong, I would have made Fang Chen suffer a fate worse than death," said Luo He.
With two Martial Grandmasters and one Tian He Wu Hou, their side held the absolute advantage.
After seeing the Tianhe Martial Marquis appear, a bitter smile appeared on Jian Wufeng's face.
"Senior Tian He Wu Hou, this child is my Sword Worshipping Sect's disciple. Can you give my Sword Worshipping Sect some face?" asked Jian Wufeng.
"Yes." Tian He Wu Hou frowned slightly. "Hmph, who do you think you are? If your sect master came, perhaps I would give him some face."
Tian He Wu Hou clearly didn't give Jian Wufeng any face. That made Jian Wufeng feel helpless.
A Martial Marquis stood at the peak of the Golden Crown Nation. Although Tian He Wu Hou's ranking was near the bottom of the Martial Marquis list, as a Martial Marquis, he wasn't someone an ordinary person could compare to.
Tian He Wu Hou didn't even place a two-star Sect like the Sword Worshipping Sect in his eyes.
"Gu Zong, you don't have any more time. Make your decision.
Either hand over your disciple or you stay here, "threatened Luo He.
Hearing Luo He's threat, Gu Zong suddenly raised his head. A strange smile appeared on his face. "Sorry, I won't choose either."
"Are you courting death?"
Hearing this, Tianhe Marquis suddenly erupted with a powerful aura, directly enveloping the ancient sect as he asked in a cold voice.
"Tian He, if you're so strong, why don't you go bully the experts on the Martial Marquis list?"
Just at this moment, a heavy voice rang out in everyone's ears. Ripples appeared in the sky and a figure appeared in front of Gu Zong.
