Chapter 12 Devil
A few minutes later, Zhou Yunyi, who had been pursuing Su Nanxing, returned.
Just as Gu Jinlai had speculated, when Zhou Yunyi realized the route of pursuit was fraught with danger, he feared it entirely a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain and retreated after less than a mile.
In the courtyard, Hong Shan, Zhao Yiping—who had been woken up—and several disciples of Gang Condensation and Qi Refinement were present.
Looking at Fang Cai's beheaded corpse, Zhou Yunyi's face was rather unsightly.
"There are so many of you lying in ambush around here, and yet he still escaped?"
He glared at Hong Shan, visibly irritated.
"To prevent Gu Jinlai from detecting us, our encirclement was a bit distant from Guardian Fang's courtyard, but as long as Guardian Fang held on for a moment, we still could have completed the encirclement. We just didn't expect that in less than three breaths, Guardian Fang was already... We simply didn't have time to close the net."
Hong Shan looked at Fang Cai's corpse, a trace of fear in his eyes.
A clansman who had followed Zhou Yunyi couldn't help but say, "Fratricide is a taboo in any force. The Ancient Demon killing Guardian Fang – such an act has already violated the sect's rules. Why not report it to the Law Enforcement Hall and ask the experts there to capture him?"
"Fratricide?"
Zhou Yunyi glanced at his clansman and said coldly, "Which eye of yours saw the murderer was Gu Jinlai?"
