Chapter 181: The Gongshu Family
From within the grand hall, another person stepped out, his sharp gaze fixed intently on Li Yanchu.
It was a young man with an unnaturally pale face, resembling a fallen-down scholar. His hands were tucked into his wide sleeves. His eyes were full of hostility, as if he were staring at a corpse.
Li Yanchu gave him an impassive glance. From the youth’s body emanated a dense aura of death and corpse qi.
If it wasn’t some unclean entity possessing a corpse to return to life, then this person must work closely with corpses and the dead as a profession.
“Master,” Li Yanchu asked, “may I know who your young master is?”
“He’s Young Master Pei Yu of the Gongshu family,” the fierce monk replied in a deep voice.
He offered no further explanation, as if merely stating Gongshu family was enough.
Li Yanchu nodded slightly. “So that’s how it is.”
Back when he had participated in the Exorcism Assembly, the gathering had brought together all sorts of strange experts from across the jianghu, as well as elite masters from both the Buddhist and Daoist sects.
During that event, he heard the name of the Gongshu family.
This family was famed for its expertise in mechanical constructs; their inventions were uncanny and ingenious, said to make bronze speak and cause wood and stone to move.
Within the cultivation world of the Kingdom of Qian, their reputation was vast.
