🕑 Added 2023-07-08 16:25:47 +0000 UTCGu Xiu paused and looked at Gu Ling, saying, "Ling’er, does it sound nice?"
"Eh..."
Gu Ling felt disgusted and wanted to vomit. He waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Ling’er. I'm not worthy!"
Gu Xiu responded, "If you know you're not worthy, then don't call me Xiu’er either. I'm not worthy either!"
"I..."
...
In the ancestral hall of the Gu Clan, as the clan leader, Gu Yuan arrived without any obstruction. The elders in the hall were already aware of his purpose. They didn't try to stop him.
Gu Yuan approached the place where the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was kept and reached out his hand. The jade flew into his hand.
Holding the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, Gu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He looked at the jade in his hand and muttered, "It's fake?"
Immediately, a terrifying aura emanated from Gu Yuan's body as he murmured, "Who? Who could it be?"
"Clan leader, what happened?"
The elders in the ancestral hall sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Yuan and quickly gathered outside the room where the jade was kept, asking for an explanation.
Gu Yuan turned around and glanced at the elders in the ancestral hall. Then, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, leaving the bewildered elders at a loss, unable to comprehend the situation
They didn't understand what was happening.
Could someone please come forward and explain?
...
"Come back to the hall!"
The Three Immortals had not gone far when they heard Gu Yuan's slightly angry voice. They glanced at each other and without hesitation, they disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already back in the hall.
"Clan leader!"
The Three Immortals spoke.
Gu Yuan stood at a higher position with his back facing them. Even though his back was turned, they could sense the aura of anger emanating from Gu Yuan.
The Three Immortals exchanged glances, unable to understand why the clan leader, who was fine just moments ago, suddenly became angry.
What was happening?
Could someone please explain?
...
"Hoo..."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. He slowly turned around, and with a flip of his palm, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade appeared, hovering in his hand.
The Three Immortals were puzzled, unable to comprehend the situation.
They didn't understand why the clan leader was showing them the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. What was the purpose? Did he want them to admire it while he still held it in his hand?
Other than this explanation, they had no idea why the clan leader had brought out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
In the slightly confused gazes of the Three Immortals, Gu Yuan made a move.
His palm slowly closed!
"Crack!"
With a cracking sound, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade turned into powder in Gu Yuan's palm. His palm slowly opened, and the powder of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade gently fell from his palm.
Silence!
Profound silence!
The hall was filled with an extreme silence, as if time had frozen in that moment. They all stared dumbfounded at Gu Yuan's palm, their faces filled with astonishment. They couldn't find words to describe the shock in their hearts at this moment.
"Clan leader, you crushed the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, uh... you shattered it," Gu Ling gradually regained his composure from the shock and slowly spoke.
Gu Dao also began to recover from the shock, his voice trembling as he said, "This is not the real Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Even the clan leader wouldn't be able to crush the real one into powder. This is a fake Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade!"
"It's... fake!" Gu Ling gradually woke up as he heard Gu Dao's words.
Yes!
They had all witnessed that even the clan leader couldn't crush the real Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Since the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade that the clan leader crushed couldn't be real, it could only mean one thing.
It was fake.
Gu Dao looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Clan leader, what's going on?"
Gu Dao seemed to understand why Gu Yuan was so angry.
Gu Yuan said, "I took this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from the ancestral hall."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the three Gu Clan immortals instantly understood. No wonder Clan Leader Gu Yuan was angry.
The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade he took from the ancestral hall was fake. It could only mean that someone had switched the real Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade without their knowledge.
"Who could it be?"
"Who did this?"
The expressions of the three Gu Clan Immortals turned grim. The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was no ordinary object. It held the key to becoming a Dou Di.
They had planned to use this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade to exchange for Gu Xun’er's release.
Now they were being told that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was fake?
It was like a thunderbolt striking on a sunny day, leaving them at a loss for what to do.
Gu Yuan's voice was solemn as he spoke, "Gu Dao, Gu Xiu, Gu Ling, I leave this matter to you for investigation. I give you three days. After three days, I want to know where the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade went."
"Yes!"
The three Gu Clan Immortals accepted the order.
They were eager to find out where the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade had gone. The Gu Clan had numerous powerful experts, and they couldn't believe that someone could quietly take away the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from their clan.
Even a formidable figure like Hun Tiandi would find it difficult to silently and unnoticedly take away the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from the Gu Clan.
So where had the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade gone?
Did it sprout wings and fly away on its own?
No...
They didn't believe that!
...
The three Gu Clan Immortals left to investigate the matter of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and whispered, "I hope it's just hidden by some elder!"
Three days passed in an instant.
In the main hall...
Gu Yuan looked at the three Immortals and asked, "Have you found out the truth?"
"Yes!"
Gu Dao spoke, "We have found out."
Gu Yuan asked, "What is the truth?"
Gu Dao replied, "The truth is that an infiltrator from another clan has managed to steal the Gu Clan's Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade." Upon discovering the truth, Gu Dao, as well as the other two Immortals, found it difficult to believe.
There were infiltrators from other clans within their Gu Clan, and they had managed to operate right under their noses without being detected. It was quite absurd.
"An undercover agent?"
Gu Yuan murmured upon hearing this, "Who is the undercover agent?"
Gu Dao answered, "It's Gu Yang!"
"Him?"
Gu Yuan felt slightly surprised upon hearing the name.
Gu Yang was one of the elders in the Gu Clan's ancestral hall, possessing the strength of a Five-Star Dou Sheng. It was unexpected that he was the undercover agent.
With such depth of infiltration, it was beyond what a mere ancient clan could achieve. But after witnessing the depths of the Soul Clan's power, Gu Yuan understood that Elder Gu Yang must be an undercover agent for the Soul Clan.
Not only Gu Yuan was surprised.
Upon learning that Gu Yang was an undercover agent from another clan, they were all astonished. It was unbelievable that an undercover agent held such a significant position within the Gu Clan.
Moreover, he had gone unnoticed right under their noses. They couldn't help but question whether the infiltrator's disguise was too impeccable or if they themselves were simply foolish and naive.
