Chapter 43 Return to the City

On the north wall, the city guards looked at the vast wasteland and couldn't help but yawned.

"Hey, there's a figure over there, it's so fast!" Someone suddenly shouted.

The city guards quickly opened their eyes and looked carefully.

On the wasteland, a figure streaked across the grass like a shooting star. In just a moment, he arrived at the foot of the city wall.

Peng!

The figure jumped tens of feet high, then stepped on the wall several times, climbing all the way to the top of the city wall.

"Are you... Mr. Yun?" The general who defended the city hurried over, looking at the unshaven figure with a stubble on his face, and asked dubiously.

"Who else could it be but me? Wouldn't you recognize me after a month of not seeing me?" Gu Xiuyun dusted off the dust on his body.

"How dare you forget Mr. Yun's appearance," the city guarding general said repeatedly, "Not long ago, your guards returned to the city and reported the news of your death to the family. Now that I see Mr. Yun again, my subordinates are inexplicably surprised. , so I can’t believe it.”

"Oh?" Gu Xiuyun glanced at the guard, "What did my guards say?"

He didn't think that the guards under his command would talk nonsense. Gu Xiuyun was still very confident in judging people.

The general who defended the city looked stagnant. He didn't know how to answer?

"That's all, it's useless to ask you. You send someone to call my guards. I want to reward you based on your merits." Gu Xiuyun walked towards the city.

At this moment, he was dirty and had to go back to the house to clean himself.

"Master Yun, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you." The general who defended the city shouted quickly, "Your bodyguards may no longer be alive."

"Huh?" Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed coldly, "What do you mean by this?"

"Sir, that day, when your guards returned to the city, they happened to meet Mr. Gu Xiuzhe..." the city guarding general said clearly, not daring to hide anything.

Although he couldn't see through Gu Xiuyun's cultivation level, he could also detect that Gu Xiuyun's body contained majestic spiritual power, and he had at least reached the late stage of the Pulse Cleansing Realm.

Faced with such a person, how could the general who defended the city dare to be careful?

"Whoever dares to arrest me," after hearing the words of the city guard general, murderous intent appeared in Gu Xiuyun's eyes, "come and show me the way, take me to the dungeon."

"Sir, my subordinates are so gentle that they really dare not offend Mr. Zhe!" The general who defended the city knelt down quickly.

"Oh, you don't dare to offend him, so you dare to offend me?" Gu Xiuyun sneered.

"I don't dare." The general guarding the city wanted to cry but had no tears.

If he had known this, why would he rush over here in a hurry and lie down on the soft pillow in the hotbed, wouldn't he?

"Hurry up and lead the way. As long as I'm here, Gu Xiuzhe won't dare to hurt you."

Gu Xiuyun said coldly.

The general who defended the city had a sad face and walked towards the bottom of the city.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the bottom floor of Youning City, in front of a huge building.

It is dark and dim here, surrounded by houses. There are many civilians living in each house. Some are practicing martial arts, some are hammering iron tools, animal teeth, refining weapons, and some are cutting beasts. Leather, sewing clothes.

If the people in Youning City want to survive, they can only get enough food by working day and night.

People like Wu Laosan who have achieved a little bit of martial arts are already strong men sought after by common people, but they are still extremely humble in front of practitioners.

In this world, the class gap is far more serious than in China.

"This is the bottom floor of Youning City?" Gu Xiuyun looked around, feeling depressed in his heart, "What is the difference between living here and the prisoners in the dungeon?"

But he also understands that in this world full of monsters and monsters, it is a great happiness to be able to survive. For the civilians at the bottom, it does not matter whether the environment is good or bad.

"Sir, the dungeon is right in front." The city guard general pointed to the giant steel building in front.

The building is like a huge square box

The building is connected to the bottom of the second floor along the stone pillars. The building is full of iron windows, like a honeycomb.

Gu Xiuyun followed the general who defended the city all the way into the dungeon.

Snapped!

The sound of vine whips sounded, and shrill screams could be heard faintly from deep in the dungeon.

"Sir, the dungeon is divided into above ground and underground. There are fifty floors above ground, and ordinary civilians who have committed crimes are imprisoned. On the thirty underground floors, martial arts masters who have committed crimes are imprisoned. They are distributed according to the severity of the crime they committed. At different depths, the guards under your command are on the twenty-third floor underground.”

"Twenty-three floors underground?" Gu Xiuyun's face became colder and colder, "You just said that they would be imprisoned in different depths according to the severity of their crimes. What crime did my guards commit that they should be imprisoned in on the twenty-third floor underground?"

"Sir, this is Gu Xiuzhe's intention. The subordinates are very gentle and can only act according to the orders." The general guarding the city said helplessly.

"Humph!" Gu Xiuyun glanced at him and was too lazy to say anything else.

There are a large number of guards on each floor of the dungeon, which shows that this place is extremely tight. However, when they saw the generals guarding the city, none of them dared to say anything and quickly opened the passage.

Soon, the two reached the twenty-third floor.

As soon as he passed through the corridor, Gu Xiuyun's expression suddenly changed and he rushed to the punishment rack nearby.

There was a guard tied up with iron ropes on the wooden frame. He was already in tatters and bloody, but his original appearance could still be vaguely seen.

"Wu Laosan," Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed coldly, "tell me, who did it?"

But Wu Laosan is already dying, how can he answer him?

"Master Yun, I have a healing elixir here that can temporarily protect his heart." The city guard general stepped forward quickly, took out a elixir and handed it to Gu Xiuyun.

"You're smart." Gu Xiuyun took the pill and stuffed it into Wu Laosan's mouth, then scooped a bowl of water from the bucket on the side and gave it to Wu Laosan to drink.

The pill of the city guard general worked well. In just a short moment, Wu Laosan's breath became much more stable.

"Sir, you're finally back!" Wu Laosan's eyes were filled with tears.

"Since I'm back, I won't let you be bullied!" Gu Xiuyun said coldly. He turned his head and looked at the city guard general, "Go and release all the guards under my command. I want to take them away from here."

"Yes, sir," the city guard general hurriedly walked to the jailer, "Quick, didn't you hear what Master Yun said? Open the prison door quickly and release all the guards!"

"Sir, these are all prisoners ordered to be detained by Master Gu Xiuzhe!" The jailer reminded in a low voice.

"Bullshit, didn't you hear what Master Yun said? Release them immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The jailers hurriedly walked into the corridor and opened the prison door.

At this moment, one of the jailers quietly left.

"Want to report?" Gu Xiuyun saw this scene from the corner of his eye, but did not step forward to stop him, "I want to see who you can call?"

Soon, the prison door opened and the guards came out.

Almost everyone had scars on their bodies. Although not as serious as Wu Laosan, they were already injured. Don't even think about fighting with others in a year or two!

"Young Master, you are still alive, it's great!" The guards were excited when they saw Gu Xiuyun.

"I knew that the young master was powerful and could kill even the Kaimai Realm monsters. How could he die in the wilderness?"

"Don't talk about it after the fact. When the young master never came back, you were the first to shout that you wanted to go back to the city."

"Nonsense, I wanted to ask the strong men in the clan to go out of the city to rescue the young master."

Looking at this group of guards talking in a flurry, Gu Xiuyun smiled.

In the few days outside Yuning City, he had long been accustomed to the nagging of these guards. For Gu Xiuyun, rules are not important, loyalty is the most important.

The city guard on the side listened to the guards' idle chatter, but his face was a little pale.

Killing a Kaimai Realm monster? Really

Fake?

But why didn't these guards mention this when they returned to the city.

If this is true, how terrible is Gu Xiuyun's strength?

"By the way, young master, the monster blood and spiritual medicine you collected were all looted by Gu Xiuzhe's men. Those spiritual materials are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Don't let them get away cheaply!" A guard suddenly said.

"I know about this. When Gu Xiuzhe comes, ask him for it." Gu Xiuyun smiled lightly, "You are seriously injured. Find a place to rest first. After I deal with Gu Xiuzhe, I will take you back to the mansion to heal your injuries."

The jailer must know the identity of the city guard. Since he went to report the news, the person he invited must be at least a cultivator.

Half an hour later.

There were hurried footsteps in the passage.

"Who is so bold as to release Master Zhe's prisoner? Don't you want to live?"

Before he finished speaking, an old man appeared in the cell.

When he saw Gu Xiuyun, his expression suddenly changed, and he held back the words that had not yet been uttered.

"Master Yun, are you still alive?" The old man swallowed his saliva and retreated without a trace.

Facing the Gu family's direct lineage cultivator, how dare he be arrogant?

"You are alone, isn't Gu Xiuzhe here?" Gu Xiuyun glanced behind the old man and found that there was no one, and his brows frowned.

If Gu Xiuzhe hides in the main vein and doesn't come out, it will not be easy to teach him a lesson!

There are many strong people in the main vein, and there are also several elders who have opened up the heavenly gate. He dare not take action there.

"Master Zhe is practicing on the altar and doesn't know about this," the old man glanced at the scene in the cell and immediately stepped back, "Master Yun, you are the direct descendant of the Gu family. I dare not fight with you, so I will leave first!"

"Want to leave? Can you leave?" Gu Xiuyun waved his palm, and the sharp palm force formed a handprint and blasted towards the old man.

Seeing the handprint coming in front of him, the old man hurriedly urged his spiritual power and condensed a palmprint as well.

Runyun hand against Runyun hand!

Bang!

The old man's spiritual power palmprint collapsed like tofu, while Gu Xiuyun's palmprint was intact and slammed on his chest.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the old man was instantly seriously injured and fell in the passage dying.

Seeing this scene, the generals guarding the city took a breath of cold air.

The old man, named Hu Yanduo, was a capable general beside Gu Xiuzhe. Although he had three-color pulses, he had reached the late stage of the pulse washing realm. However, in front of Gu Xiuyun, he could not even take a palm.

"He Feng, go and call Gu Xiuzhe to me, and tell him that I am torturing his subordinates with the method he used to torture Wu Laosan." Gu Xiuyun said coldly.

"This..." The general guarding the city hesitated.

If he really did this, no matter what the outcome was, he would probably die.

"If you don't go, you will die now. If you go, I can save your life."

Hearing this, the general guarding the city took a deep breath and bowed, saying: "I will go and invite Master Gu Xiuzhe to come over."

"You guys, tie that old guy to the punishment pillar and whip him three hundred times for me first." Gu Xiuyun looked at the jailer on the side again.

The jailers did not dare to say any nonsense, and hurriedly stepped forward to tie the seriously injured Hu Yanduo with iron chains and fixed him on the punishment pillar.

Snap!

He whipped it with a whip, but there was no trace at all.

Huyan Duo had already awakened his spiritual veins, and his body was tough. How could a mere whip hurt him?

"His body is quite tough," Gu Xiuyun sneered, and waved a spiritual power, which merged into the whip, "Keep whipping, and beat him until he begs for mercy."

The whip was whipped again, but this time it left clear marks on the old man's body. The scars were like being burned by flames, and there was a hint of burning smell.

How could Huyan Duo, who had three-color veins, resist the purple spiritual power of the Kaimai realm?
