I Have Awakened The Deduction System - Chapter 420

420 Zhao Gao Was Captured

“Xu Fengyu is so shameless. How could he lie to me?” Floating Jade Island Master said angrily.

“Island Master, you already have a conclusion?” Gu Mingzhou cupped his hands and said.

“Back then, Xu Fengyu wanted to destroy the world. Now his resentment must be even deeper since he has been suppressed for so many years could he only take revenge on the Murong clan and the Zhou Dynasty’s royal family?” The Floating Jade Island Master said with his hands behind his back.

World cultivators were not only talented but their lifespans were also blessed by the heavens. They were close to eternal life, so how could there be a limit?

!!
Even if there was, it was the five curses of heaven and man unique to world cultivators.

However, Xu Fengyu had already overcome the five decays of heaven and man before he was suppressed!

“As expected, Sect Master Zhao and I had already guessed that Xu Fengyu was lying to us. Now it seems that Xu Fengyu is indeed plotting something big.” Gu Mingzhou nodded.

“Let’s go to Handan now! Please wait here for a moment!” Floating Jade Island Master walked out of the tent and ended the ceremony.

It took the time to finish a few cups of tea.

After the Island Master of Floating Jade had arranged everything, he took Gu Mingzhou and flew toward Handan.

The hundred thousand Floating Jade cultivators followed and headed to Handan.

The speed of the earth-rank cultivators was much faster than a hundred thousand individual cultivators.

They could naturally arrive faster, or else their speed would be too slow and it would waste time.

Of course, the Floating Jade Island Master could directly transform into a Kun Peng and lift up the hundred thousand rogue cultivators, landing in front of Handan City.

However, the Floating Jade Island Master felt something was amiss, so he chose to go first with Gu Mingzhou and left the army behind.

The distance between the Changbai Mountain range and Handan City was a few hundred miles. To Floating Jade Island Master, who had transformed into a golden-winged bird, he only needed to flap his wings a few times to arrive at Handan city.

Handan City, which had been washed clean by the Flames of War, looked empty and broken.

Broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere, making it look very desolate.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred people standing on the city wall, watching.

The person in the lead was The Trap’s Zheng Gang!

It was clear that Zheng Gang had been waiting here for a long time. There was some dust on his body, and his face was extremely anxious.

He was pacing back and forth on the city wall.

When he saw Kun Peng flying over from the distance, he immediately flew up to meet it.

The soaring Kun Peng saw someone flying out of Handan city and stopped in mid-air.

The sky-covering figure shook in the air and transformed into two figures.

They were Floating Jade Island Master and Gu Mingzhou.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Mingzhou looked at Zheng Gang, who had come in a hurry, and asked in confusion.

The Floating Jade Island Master also looked at Zheng Gang in confusion.

Zheng Gang’s flustered actions had already attracted the attention of Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master.

“It’s bad! The Sect Master has been captured by the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect!” the flustered Zheng Gang impatiently shouted.

“What did you say?” Gu Mingzhou stepped into the air and instantly landed in front of Zheng Gang. He said coldly.

Gu Mingzhou’s voice was filled with endless coldness. He was obviously shocked by the news.

“What happened? How did Sect Master Zhao get caught and brought to the Heavenly Sword Sect?” The human-shaped Floating Jade Island Master looked at Zheng Gang and asked with a frown.

Gu Mingzhou and the Island Master of Floating Jade Island had rushed over to see Zhao Gao.

The sudden capture of Zhao Gao by the Heavenly Sword Sect shocked the two.

Zhen Gang was frightened by Gu Mingzhou’s coldness. When he heard the question, he quickly explained what had happened.

Not long after Gu Mingzhou left Handan City, the fifth elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Murong Yan, suddenly came to Handan City to visit Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao agreed to meet.

Zheng Gang then brought Murong Yan into the secret room where Zhao Gao was recuperating.

Originally, it was very dangerous for the two sides to meet.

However, Zhao Gao had actually agreed to let Zheng Gang leave the secret chamber to talk to Murong Yan in private.

Helpless, Zheng Gang could only obey and leave the secret room.

For some reason, Murong Yan had suddenly taken Zhao Gao hostage and fled back to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“You all just watched as Sect Master Zhao was held hostage by Murong Yan?” Asked Floating Jade Island Master as he looked at Zheng Gang in disbelief.

“At that time, the Sect Master was in a very bad state and was held hostage by Murong Yan. We didn’t dare to stop him.” Zheng Gang said, feeling wronged.

“What message did Murong Yan leave behind?” Gu Mingzhou asked.

Murong Yan would have left a request.

“Murong Yan said that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect wants to see the Sect Master. He promised to ensure the Sect Master’s safety. However, before the Sect Master left, he used his spiritual sense to tell me that you must go to the Heavenly Sword Sect!” Zheng Gang shook his head and said.

“Sect Master Zhao wants me to save him?” Based on Gu Mingzhou’s understanding of Zhao Gao, if he went to the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would be in deep trouble.

He should be dissuading him from going.

Zhao Gao didn’t say he didn’t want to take revenge for him, or that he wanted Zheng Gang to stop Gu Mingzhou.

Instead, he told Zheng Gang to ask Gu Mingzhou to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to save him.

He seemed to be hinting at something.

Is he hinting at me to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect?

Gu Mingzhou thought to himself.

That was all he could think of now.

However, Zhao Gao should have known that he would definitely return to the Heavenly Sword Sect to save him. Why didn’t he stop him? Instead, he made it clear.

“Only this sentence?” Gu Mingzhou wanted to get some clues from Zheng Gang.

Zhao Gao didn’t say much, but Zheng Gang shook his head.

First, he invited me to the Heavenly Sword sect, and then Murong Yan captured Sect Master Zhao.

Was there a connection between the two?

“Actually, their goal is very obvious. It’s you!”

Gu Mingzhou nodded in agreement with his guess.

“Why did Murong Yan want to capture Sect Master Zhao?” Gu Mingzhou was confused.

If he was to invite him, why did he hold Zhao Gao as a hostage?

Gu Mingzhou could not figure this out.

Coupled with Zhao Gao’s unnecessary request for help, the whole matter was not as simple as it seemed.

“What’s the point of thinking so much? We’ll just go to the Heavenly Sword Sect and ask him.” Seeing Gu Mingzhou’s worried expression, the Island Master of Floating Jade Island immediately said.

Two earth world cultivators were enough to shake the Heavenly Sword Sect!

“I just don’t understand. Murong Fu and I don’t know each other. Why does he want to see me?” Gu Mingzhou asked, puzzled.

Murong Fu’s method of holding Zhao Gao hostage had obviously angered him!

“There’s no time to lose. It’s best to stop Murong Yan before he reaches the Heavenly Sword Sect.” Floating Jade Island Master said angrily.

The beast cultivators who advocated peace and lived in seclusion in the deep sea were very dissatisfied with Murong Yan’s act of holding Zhao Gao hostage.

“Brother Zheng Gang, I’ll have to trouble you to wait for the hundred thousand Floating Jade cultivators and settle them down. Leave Sect Master Zhao to me.” Gu Mingzhou didn’t think too much about it. He decided to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect first.

Floating Jade Island Master transformed into a Kun Peng that blotted out the sky and let out a long howl.

The cry pierced through the clouds.

Gu Mingzhou jumped onto the bird’s back and stood firm.

The hundred-meter-long wings of the Kun Peng flapped slightly.

The wings whistled out, stirring up Handan.

The Kun Peng, which was hundreds of meters long, disappeared into the sky like lightning.

Its hundred-meter-long wings flapped in the air. The Kun Peng flew through the clouds under the sky.

After traveling a thousand miles, they arrived at the capital of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Even if Gu Mingzhou used his full strength, he might not be able to do it.

The mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect was not big. In front of the Kun Peng that was soaring in the sky, it was like a low fence.
