Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

The moment Gu Lie appeared in the sight of the three people, an invisible pressure weighed heavily on them. Even Gu Qinghan, who had broken through to the level of a Douluo Saint, found it difficult to resist this pressure, and his face became extremely ugly.

If it was a few minutes ago, it wouldn't matter if I met Guile, but it happened at this moment.
The next moment after Gu Lie appeared, several Black Annihilation Army soldiers gathered around and blocked the road. The surrounding walls and roofs were also full of people, leaving no room for Gu Qinghan and the other two to escape.

Gu Lie had a gloomy face as he glanced at the headless corpses scattered around Gu Qinghan. All of the corpses were wearing the uniforms of the Black Annihilation Army, which made Gu Lie's heart sink suddenly.

In his opinion, the thing that should never have happened happened.

At this time, a member of the Black Annihilation Army came to Gu Lie in mid-air, clasped his fists and reported to him in a serious voice.

"Lord Gulie, in the courtyard not far away, a family of three has all died. And according to the report from the previous search, several bodies of the Black Annihilation Army appeared on the street."

Listening to the report from his subordinate, Gu Lie's face became even colder.

Gu Lie thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this result. In his opinion, Gu Qinghan was definitely a person who knew the seriousness of the matter. Not to mention that imprisoning Gu Qinghan was just part of the plan. Even if it was true, Gu Lie didn't think that Gu Qinghan would commit such a crime that could not be ignored as killing colleagues or even civilians.

Gu Lu slowly turned his head and looked down at Gu Qinghan, questioning coldly.

"Gu Qinghan, do you have an explanation?"

Gu Qinghan's face was cold and his expression was extremely ugly.

Just now she clearly noticed that the problematic Black Annihilation Army soldiers she had killed no longer seemed to have any problems.

In other words, no matter how he explained it, he was a sinner who brutally murdered his colleague.

Moreover, even Tuoshe Gu Di Yu was brought out during the chaos, proving that a traitor had appeared in the Gu clan. Although Gu Qinghan was unwilling to think in this direction, since the four elders were all suspects, then Gu Lie in front of him was also suspected.

If there really was something wrong with Gu Lie and I believed him without any doubt, then I would have made a big mistake.

"Qinghan. There is nothing to explain."

Gu Qinghan thought for a long time and finally uttered this sentence, which made Gu Lie's face darken and he slowly raised his hand.

Originally according to the plan, he was just going to come out today to go through the motions and then let Gu Qinghan and others leave the Gu Clan. In this way, after the news spread, the other eight clans would not think that the Gu Clan and the Tianhe Alliance had successfully formed an alliance and secretly have doubts, and their Gu Clan would also be able to successfully establish contact with the Tianhe Alliance.

But now something unexpected has happened, which makes it impossible for Gu Lie to let them leave.

"The Black Annihilation Army, listen to my order. Capture the fugitive Gu Qinghan. Also capture the commander-in-chief Gu Yao and the great commander Gu Zhen who helped him escape from prison!"

"Grand Commander, I'm sorry!"

Gu Lie gave the order, and although the surrounding Black Yan Army was unwilling, they had to obey Gu Lie's orders and rushed towards the three people.

Bang!
In just a blink of an eye, the dozen or so Black Annihilation Army soldiers who rushed up first were knocked away. Before Gu Yao and Gu Zhen could react, Gu Qinghan grabbed one in each hand and rushed in one direction at a high speed.

"Back off!!!"

Gu Qinghan shouted loudly, and the powerful energy pushed away the Black Annihilation Army that was blocking the road in front of them, forcing a gap. Gu Qinghan did not hesitate and quickly escaped from the gap with the two of them.

Gu Lie stood in mid-air, looking at the direction where Gu Qinghan fled, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In the darkness of the night, Gu Qinghan fled quickly with the two of them. Gu Yao and Gu Zhen, who were being carried by her, turned back in shock.

"Sister Qinghan, why don't you explain to Master Gulie?"

"There's no way to explain it anymore." Gu Qinghan's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If we continue to stay there, it will only confirm our injustice."

As Gu Qinghan spoke, his silver teeth were tense and his thoughts were racing.

What went wrong? I feel like I'm missing something.
Gu Qinghan kept recalling what Gu Lie had just said.

[Gu Qinghan, do you have an explanation? ]

Thinking of Gu Lie's words, Gu Qinghan keenly realized that things were definitely not that simple.

Just now, she saw a barely perceptible hint of surprise in Gu Lie's eyes, as if he would be surprised when an unexpected situation occurred.

Unexpected circumstances? Does that mean escaping from prison?
No, probably not.

Gu Yao and Gu Zhen were both soldiers under Gu Lie. Gu Lie knew their personalities very well. After Gu Nanhai announced that he would be beheaded on a certain day, he must have guessed that Gu Yao and Gu Zhen would come to jailbreak, so this matter was not beyond Gu Lie's expectations at all.

If that was the case, it was because he had killed those Black Annihilation Army soldiers that even the death of that family of civilians was counted on him. This was something that Gu Lie had not expected.

Wait? This was unexpected? That means the prison break was something that Gu Lie expected? Then why didn't he send more people to guard the prison?
Gu Qinghan suddenly discovered the problem, and then his eyes suddenly became clear.

Yes, whether it was Gu Nanhai's order to execute me on a certain day, or Gu Lie letting Gu Yao and Gu Zhen to break into the prison, they were all planned in advance. The purpose was to let me leave the Gu clan peacefully as a fugitive.

Gu Qinghan understood the reason after thinking about it for a while.

Because the ancient clan is very strong, it is far stronger than the other eight ancient clans.

The other eight clans tried to form an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance, not only for the control of Zhongzhou, but also to strengthen the strength of their own families as much as possible and minimize the gap with the other eight clans.

But if even the Ancient Clan considers forming an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance, in the eyes of the other eight clans, the Tianhe Alliance is likely to choose the Ancient Clan, which is the strongest, as its alliance partner. If the Ancient Clan and the Tianhe Alliance really declare an alliance, the other eight clans may join forces to resist the Ancient Clan because of this threat.

Therefore, even if the Ancient Clan wants to form an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance, it cannot do so openly. It has to use a method that makes people less defensive, which is to send out a team of tribesmen who others think have nothing to do with the Ancient Clan, or are even hostile, to stay in the Tianhe Alliance for a long time.

Gu Qinghan, as well as Gu Yao and Gu Zhen who came to jailbreak, were the team sent by the Gu clan. They did this to let others know that although these people were members of the Gu clan, they were fugitives of the Gu clan. Even if they went to the Tianhe League, they could not represent the will of the Gu clan.

It is true that the other eight clans naturally have doubts about this, but they are just suspicions, and the ancient clan only needs suspicions. The other eight clans will not decide to join forces to fight against the ancient clan because of simple suspicions.

Yes, that's right.

The reason why Gulie's eyes were stunned just now was because the script that was supposed to be peaceful had unexpected problems.

He killed the Black Annihilation Army with his own hands and even killed civilians. Although he was wronged, this was the case in Gu Lie's eyes just now.

In that case, there are two plans!
One plan was known to Gu Lie, and the other plan was unknown to Gu Lie. The core of this plan was to seize the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade during the chaos!

Damn it! If that's the case, then there must be something wrong with one of the elders!

If they hadn't known about it in advance, it would have been impossible to arrange people to steal the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade so quickly. Someone must have known about the plan before others and had the opportunity to prepare. Was it Ancient South Sea? Or Ancient Sheep? Or Ancient North City?
Or...is it his own father Gulin?

Just as Gu Qinghan was constantly thinking about who might be the traitor, a cold voice suddenly woke her up.

"Gu Qinghan, do you really think you can escape?!"

! ! ! ! !

Gu Qinghan suddenly turned around and saw Gu Lie, who had been standing not far behind him. Fighting Qi was flowing from one of his hands, and was aimed at Gu Qinghan and the other two.

Even before she made a move, Gu Qinghan's face changed drastically. She was extremely certain that she couldn't even take this one blow!

You must explain it to him clearly!

"Lord Guile! I..."

"I believe you wouldn't kill them for no reason, but it has already happened, so I must capture you and give an explanation to the others." Gu Lie's eyes were cold, and his words made Gu Qinghan's heart tremble. "Don't worry, if you really have any grievances, I will do my best to help you clear them."

Seeing Gu Lie’s cold eyes, Gu Qinghan felt a chill in his heart.

She knew that Gu Lie was a serious person, but this look made Gu Qinghan suspicious.

Did Guilie really not know about the second plan? Was it possible that the shock in his eyes before was fake? Was he in cahoots with the traitor?

Doubt is a seed. Once it is planted, everyone will have problems until the truth comes out!

No! I must not fall into his hands! I must escape!
Gu Qinghan bit the tip of his tongue and exerted all his strength. His heart was beating wildly with the extreme operation in the instant, and Gu Qinghan's body was shaking visibly.

And at the moment when Gui Lie made his move, the street in front of him was instantly destroyed by Gui Lie.

But then Gu Lie frowned, and then waved his hand to disperse the smoke in the street, but he did not find any trace of Gu Qinghan and the other two.

Gulie was not surprised by this.

Gu Qinghan has now broken through to the level of Douluo Saint and has the Infinite Moment to rely on. He was afraid that the attack just now would seriously injure them, so he did not use his full strength. It is normal for Gu Qinghan to escape while using his full strength to drive the Infinite Moment.

Afterwards, Gu Lie did not release his fighting spirit to look for the traces of Gu Qinghan and the other two. Instead, he flew into the air and rushed straight towards the gate of the ancient world.

If Gu Qinghan and the other two want to leave the ancient clan, the gate to the ancient world is their only place to go. They just need to wait here.

At this time, at the gate of the ancient world, the two teams of Black Annihilation Army that had been placed in advance by Gu Yao and Gu Zhen had already prepared to open the gate. Even Gu Yuelan was here with a team of people. As long as Gu Qinghan and the other two arrived, they would immediately open the gate of the ancient world and escape together.

"Sister Qinghan"

Gu Yuelan clutched her collar lightly, her eyes full of worry, and prayed in her heart that Gu Qinghan would be able to come safely.

At this moment, a Black Annihilation Army soldier pointed at the air in the distance.

"Look! Someone is coming!"

Gu Yuelan suddenly looked up in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, she saw a person rushing towards her at a rapid speed.

However, before Gu Yuelan could feel happy, the familiar pressure from that person made her face turn pale and her legs could not help but tremble.

The person who came was not Gu Qinghan, but Gu Lie!

The faces of the others also changed suddenly. Seeing Gu Lie slowly descending, Gu Yuelan swallowed her saliva and forced herself to calm down.

It's okay, it's okay, he doesn't know our plan yet
Gu Yuelan took a deep breath, then calmly stepped forward to report to Gu Lie.

"Lord Guile, no one has passed here yet."

"Don't pretend. I know you are waiting for them to come and open the gate to the ancient world."

Before Gu Yuelan finished speaking, Gu Lie's words made her pupils shrink. Then Gu Lie's eyes showed coldness and he said in a deep voice.

"If it was ten minutes ago, I would have pretended I didn't see it, but not now."

After Gu Lie finished speaking, Gu Yuelan looked puzzled.

What do you mean by "I pretended I didn't see it ten minutes ago"?
Gu Lie did not explain Gu Yuelan's doubts. He turned around and waited quietly.

In less than half a minute, Gu Lie frowned slightly and looked towards a corner in the distance.

"Come out, you know it's useless to hide all the time. If you want to leave the Ancient Clan, you can only go through this gate."

As Gu Lie finished speaking, Gu Yao walked out first, followed by Gu Qinghan who was supported by Gu Zhen. Gu Qinghan's other hand was still tightly clasped on his chest. He looked at Gu Lie with despair, and he couldn't help biting his pale lips.

In order to escape from Guile's pursuit, he overused the Infinite Moment, but he didn't expect that he was still one step slower than him.

The gap in strength is really too big.

"Sister Qinghan!"

Gu Yuelan couldn't help but exclaim in worry when she saw Gu Qinghan's weak appearance, and rushed forward to support Gu Qinghan.

But Gu Lie didn't care about it at all. He stared at Gu Qinghan and whispered.

"Gu Qinghan, things are out of control now. Come back with me first and I will listen to your explanation slowly."

Gu Lie's words made Gu Qinghan feel depressed again.

Gu Qinghan was also forced into a desperate situation at this time. She knew that all these people combined could not defeat Gu Lie alone.

What should I do? Should I believe that Guile is white?
But what if I'm wrong
"Sister Qinghan!"

At this time, a pleasant voice was heard, which made Gu Qinghan and Gu Lie both stunned. Then they saw a beautiful figure standing in front of Gu Qinghan and facing Gu Lie in front.

The eldest lady of the Gu clan, Gu Xun'er! (End of this chapter)
