Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Defend to the Death Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Defend to the Death “Disagree? Why disagree?” the Gu King asked, his face darkening.
Zhao Heilong was also continuously giving Tu Yanzhi hints, urging her to agree quickly.
“Yanzhi, aren’t you a martial lunatic? Now is your opportunity, as long as you acknowledge the Gu King as your adoptive father, your progress in the Martial Way will soar. Don’t be foolish…”
However, Tu Yanzhi still shook her head.
“A martial artist shouldn’t be like this!”
Seeing this, the Gu King snorted coldly, “Unappreciative!”
Having said that, he no longer paid her any attention.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Heilong let out a sigh.
“Adoptive father, don’t be angry. Let’s go inside, you usually stay in the deep mountains, today let me, your adoptive son, treat you well,” Zhao Heilong said with a smile.
The Gu King nodded.
He indeed usually lived reclusively, spending most of his time in the deep mountains cultivating Gu techniques.
Of course, he would occasionally leave the mountains to enjoy the worldly pleasures of the city.
He did not shun these!
Soon, Zhao Heilong had ushered the Gu King into the clubhouse.
He had spent a fortune on fine wine and delicious food to treat the Gu King.
The Gu King was quite fond of drinking wine, and after enjoying quite a bit of fine wine, he asked Zhao Heilong,
“By the way, Heilong, let me ask you, do you know the specifics about Lin Dong?”
“This young man has such strength at his age, who exactly is his mentor? You’re in Jianghai, you should know quite a lot, right? Tell me in detail!”
Zhao Heilong had indeed investigated a lot of information about Lin Dong.
He had gathered quite a bit of data on Lin Dong.
At the moment, he spilled everything.
“This Lin Dong, he comes from a small village in Shi County beneath our Jianghai…”
“After arriving in Jianghai, in just a few months, he achieved such accomplishments…”
After listening, the Gu King secretly said, “Could this person be the disciple of some reclusive capable person?”
“Hmph, but no matter whose disciple he is, I want him dead!”
He shook his head, unconcerned.
After a meal, Zhao Heilong arranged for a few women for the Gu King.
The Gu King didn’t refuse and entered the room holding those women.
Before long, screams could be heard coming from that room.
Tu Yanzhi later found out that those women had been killed directly by the Gu King.
“This man is too cruel and ruthless!”
She became even more resolute that she could never acknowledge such a man as her adoptive father.
Even if this man truly could elevate her strength to that of the Snake Woman within three years, she would never acknowledge a thief as her father.
“Lin Dong, you were right! How can we martial artists acknowledge a thief as father?”
Tu Yanzhi began to understand Lin Dong’s feelings back then.
That day, her adoptive father Zhao Heilong had issued another command.
“Yanzhi, bring people with you, come with me to capture Nangong Hong!”
Tu Yanzhi was startled and hurriedly said, “Adoptive father, Nangong Hong is one of the four kings of our Black Dragon Society, why would you want to capture her?”
Zhao Heilong’s face turned iron blue as he said, “She’s worthy of being a king? She’s nothing but Lin Dong’s puppet!”
“I tolerated her before because she had Lin Dong backing her. Now that Lin Dong is in no position to protect himself, why should I tolerate her?”
“She even dared to defy me, I will make her life worse than death!”
Hearing this, Tu Yanzhi felt conflicted.
She had a good private relationship with Nangong Hong.
She didn’t want to see Nangong Hong die tragically.
So she secretly sent a message to Nangong Hong.
“Nangong Hong, run fast, Zhao Heilong wants to capture you!”
Sister Hong, upon receiving the message from Tu Yanzhi, immediately gritted her teeth.
She didn’t leave but summoned everyone, preparing to fight Zhao Heilong.
“I can’t cause trouble for the master at this time, this time, it’s a fight to the death! I’ll hold out until the master leaves seclusion!”
She certainly knew that Lin Dong was currently in retreat.
If she were to flee to Lin Dong now, it would be tantamount to bringing all the enemies to him.
She could not do something that would burden her master!
“This time, even if I die, I must hold out!” she said, clenching her fists.
Meanwhile, the Gu King also set out.
He had learned of Lin Dong’s whereabouts.
He was heading towards Wuying Resort.
As he approached, he discovered that the spiritual energy was much denser around here than other places.
“This is quite a cultivation-friendly place indeed, Lin Dong, once I defeat you, I’ll take it over,” he thought.
“Then I’ll turn you into a ‘Gu Person’ right here!”
“I’ve heard you have several confidantes, and when the time comes, I’ll capture those beautiful women of yours, too!”
He remembered the taste of the women arranged by Zhao Heilong the previous night and found it satisfying.
He figured that Lin Dong’s confidantes must be beyond comparison to those women.
After arriving at the entrance of the Wuying Resort, he infused his chest with his Inner Qi.
Then, puffing up his chest, he used inner Qi voice transmission to loudly say,
“Lin Dong, I am the Gu King! Come out and meet your death swiftly!!!”
“Come out swiftly!!”
“Come and meet your death!!!”
The layered echoes resounded throughout the entire Wuying Resort.
Hearing this, Bai Zhonglou, who was guarding the villa’s main gate, suddenly opened his eyes.
He turned his head, looking towards the villa.
“The Dragon Lord is still in retreat, I must hold the line!!!”
