Chapter 3320

So, in the next few days, the two major families in Nanyan City, the Luo family and the Gu family, mobilized unprecedented forces and sent a huge search team into the forest to search for the whereabouts of Fade Chen and Du Chanyi.

However, after three consecutive days of searching, people from the two major families searched almost the entire forest, but they still couldn't find Fade Chen.

And Luo Shuju and Gu Chongwen brought news from the strange ruins respectively. The shock of the ancient tomb became more and more violent. We must speed up to find Fade Chen, grab the Ice Soul Orb, and then open the ancient tomb and enter it to find treasures.

Otherwise, if there is a big shock in the ancient tomb and the environment of the entire ruins changes drastically, then the next time you have the opportunity to enter the weird ruins, you don’t know when you will have to wait.

The two major families that received the order almost used 80% of the power available to each family to devote themselves to the search for Fade Chen.

Such a large-scale action shocked the entire Nanyan City.

Many people have faintly noticed that something is wrong. If it is just an Ice Soul Orb, it seems that the two families don't need to pay so much attention to it.

All of a sudden, related gossip and gossip spread rapidly in Nanyan City.

After another three days of searching, there was still no trace of Fade Chen.

Now, the two families are really in a hurry.

In the hall of the Luo family, Luo Shuju, Luo Yin, Gu Chongwen and Gu Tianning were sitting among the four, their faces were serious and their expressions were not very good-looking.

"After searching for nearly a week, there is still no news, so I can't wait to drag it on." Luo Shuju was the first to speak out.

Gu Chongwen, who was of the same generation as him, said: "The forest area is too large, and it borders the weird ruins. If that kid escapes into the weird ruins, our two families will not have enough manpower."

Luo Shuju said in a deep voice: "So, the current method is not enough. We must use other methods."

"What way?" Gu Tianning asked.

Luo Shuju didn't answer, but looked at Gu Chongwen and said, "What do you think?"

Gu Chongwen tapped lightly on the deputy hand, seemingly hesitant, but after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, his eyes changed, showing a hint of ruthlessness, and nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay, we can prepare." Luo Shuju said.

Gu Tianning was at a loss when he heard what the two said, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

Luo Yin also looked curious, "Second Uncle, do you have other solutions?"

Luo Shuju said in a deep voice: "The kid can't hide, so we will force him to come out."

"Force him out!"

Hearing these four words, Luo Yin and Gu Tianning immediately realized something, and their eyes changed.

"Uncle (Second Uncle), what you mean is to use the hostage as a threat to force Fade Chen to come out."

Luo Shuju and Gu Chongwen nodded at the same time, and said in a deep voice, "This is the best way at present."

Then, Luo Shuju ordered: "Luo Yin, Du Nanxing is still in your hands, you can prepare now. Let someone reveal the news."

Gu Chongwen also looked at Gu Tianning, and said: "Gu Tianning, Gu Yu, have a lot of relationship with that untouchable, you can use it."

Gu Tianning frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, it's not good to do this. Gu Tianning and Gu Yu are my Gu family. We use our own people to threaten that guy, not to mention whether the untouchables will be punished or not. threaten."

"Let's just say that if this matter gets out, our Gu family's reputation won't look good in Nanyan City."

Gu Chongwen said coldly: "Gu Tianning and Gu Yu have committed a heinous crime by assisting outsiders and betraying their families. If they can be used to catch that untouchable, it will be regarded as meritorious service and their lives can be spared."

"As for the opinions of others, it is not worth mentioning in front of the treasures of ancient tombs."

"This—" Gu Tianning still hesitated, but finally nodded and agreed, "Yes, uncle, I understand what to do."

Immediately, Gu Chongwen stood up and bid farewell.

The next day, Du Nanxing, Gu Tianning, and Gu Yu were arrested by the Luo family and the Gu family respectively, and tried for treason.

In the end, all three were sentenced to death and will be executed a week later.

This news quickly spread in Nanyan City, and at the same time, countless people brought the news to various villages around the city.

People who have a little understanding of the matter can judge it almost as soon as the news comes out.

This is a threat from the Luo family and the Gu family to Fade Chen.

All of a sudden, related discussions started to stir up trouble.

Some people said that it was too ugly to accuse the Luo family and the Gu family of doing things. The two big families joined forces to deal with a kid, making a big fuss out of a molehill.

Of course, some people think that Fade Chen, a pariah from the lower world, deserves what he deserves no matter how he is treated.

Of course, this threat also triggered various follow-up events.

Gu Tianning and Gu Yu are alright, they are members of the Gu family after all, so they only caused some controversy within the Gu family, but they were all suppressed by Gu Chongwen and Gu Tianning.

On Du Nanxing's side, the subsequent controversy aroused became bigger.

After all, Du Nanxing is a well-known four-star pharmacist in Nanyan City, and he is also an elder of the Pharmacist Department of Nanyan College. In addition, there are many masters and dignitaries who usually deal with him, so it naturally arouses criticism from many people.

Inside the Pharmacist Department of Nanyan College, after hearing the news about the Luo family, a group of teachers and students expressed their opposition.

However, in the end, Vice President Lu Wenhuan personally spoke out, saying that this matter was due to Du Nanxing acting on behalf of his apprentice, and the cause itself had nothing to do with Nanyan College. Therefore, the consequences caused by this naturally have nothing to do with Nanyan College.

Afterwards, Duobao Pavilion and some families and institutions that had transactions with Du Nanxing, after Luo Yin personally visited, changed their words one after another, saying that Du Nanxing deserved the crime and should be sentenced to death.

Even the City Lord's Mansion was silent and did not make a sound. It's an acquiescence to this matter.

In the city lord's mansion, Gu Qingxi, who was recuperating from his injuries, hurried to his father's room after hearing the news, and asked aloud: "Father, as the city lord, do you really want to sit idly by about Master Du's affairs?"

Gu Zhennan looked at his excited daughter and said, "This matter is very complicated, and it's not something you can intervene in. Don't ask any more questions."

"What's complicated? Isn't the Luo family threatening Fade Chen with Master Du's life, trying to snatch his Ice Soul Orb? Anyone can understand that the Luo family's behavior is too much."

"Father, you are the lord of the city, and you want to maintain the fairness of the city. How can you sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing. After this, what do you want everyone to think of you as the lord of the city?"

Gu Qingxi's series of questions caused Gu Zhennan's complexion to change.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Qingxi, things are not as simple as you imagined. It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I can't do it."

"Father, how is this possible. You are the lord of the city, an official appointed by the Dayan Mansion, why can't you control me." Gu Qingxi asked.

Gu Zhennan sighed, and said: "This time the Luo family and the Gu family acted resolutely, especially the Luo family. Not only did the family Luo Yin happen, even Luo Shuju and Luo Zhongyuan also spoke out in person and expressed their views to me."

"This, so what! Even if the Luo family uses the three Yuantai Realm Venerables, do they really dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion?" Gu Qingxi said.

Gu Zhennan said: "They don't dare to attack the city lord's mansion, but the city lord's mansion doesn't dare to control them either!"

"How could it be? The City Lord's Mansion represents the official power of the Great Yan Mansion, so why can't they control them. Could it be that the Luo family wants to rebel?" Gu Qingxi asked with a frown.

Gu Zhennan said quietly: "Of course not. I can't control them. The reason is very simple. The Luo family opened up the relationship with the higher-ups, and the higher-ups directly issued an order to let me leave this matter alone."

"How could this be?" Gu Qingxi felt unbelievable.

Gu Zhennan said: "Luo Shuju went to Fucheng some time ago and found Commander Yuan of the Yanwei Army in Fucheng."

"Commander Yuan will soon bring the Yanwei Army from Fucheng to my Yunjiang City in the name of inspection to preside over this matter."

"The Yanwei Army is a guard formed by the Lord of the Great Yan Mansion, and it is one of the strongest troops in the city. No matter in terms of strength or level, they are stronger than my little city guard."

"At that time, Commander Yuan will bring the Yanwei Army to take over the affairs of Nanyan City. Tell me, what else can I do?"

After listening to his father's narration, Gu Qingxi was also stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

In her impression, the officials of Dayan Mansion, represented by her father's city guard, have some minor problems in various aspects, but overall, they are fair and just and safeguard everyone's interests.

But, now it seems that she was too naive and didn't realize the real cruelty of the world.

Once real interests are involved, once the status is high enough. Certain venerables and rules have become garbage that has been left behind.

Now, the Luo family's actions are obviously against the rules, but because they have opened up the relationship with the commander of the Yanwei army, they can do this kind of thing openly.

This made Gu Qingxi feel that her faith had collapsed and that she was being trampled under her feet, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

Gu Zhennan understood his daughter's thoughts, sighed, and comforted him: "Qingxi, this world, in the final analysis, is still a world where strength is respected."

"Within a certain limit, rules can restrain most people. But once the strength reaches a certain level, then the so-called rules are just a piece of waste paper for these people."

"True masters cannot be restrained by rules. Only strong strength can restrain the opponent's strong strength."

"Strength is respected—this is the only rule of our Great Yan Mansion, or even the entire Diyuan Realm."

Listening to his father's words, Gu Qingxi felt an unprecedented shock, and murmured: "Then, Master Du, is it really hopeless?"

Gu Zhennan sighed, remained silent for a moment, and finally said: "There is still a glimmer of life, an old friend of Master Du's acquaintance, after hearing the news, he rushed to the Pharmacist Association."

"If the Pharmacist Association is willing to step forward, it may be possible to keep Master Du."
