Zhou Shangyun only has one communication crystal in his hand. Moreover, this communication crystal does not belong to him, but to the Holy Lord of the Holy City.
Most other counties and cities also have only one communication crystal.
"Jing Yan, don't worry. The news has been spread to the Holy City. I believe there will be a response soon. If the Holy Lord comes forward, no matter how angry the Gu family is, they cannot completely ignore the Holy Lord's wishes." Zhou Shangyun comforted Jing Yan.
"Yes, I understand." Jing Yan responded.
Holy city, holy palace!
Chang Huan, the chief steward of the Holy Palace, hurried to the temple to meet the Holy Lord.
"Chang Huan, why did you come to see me in the middle of the night?" A middle-aged man wearing a flowing cloud robe and a golden crown looked at Chang Huan and asked with a smile.
"Lord Holy Lord, I just received a piece of news from Zhou Shangyun, the king of Lanqu County."
"Lanqu County, something bad happened." Chang Huan raised his head slightly and said solemnly.
Chang Huan is the supervisor of the Holy Palace and is mainly responsible for intelligence work.
When princes like Zhou Shangyun want to convey a message to the Holy Lord, they usually pass it on to Chang Huan first, who then relays it.
"Oh? What happened in Lanqu County?" Seeing Chang Huan's serious expression, the Holy Lord also suppressed his smile and asked.
"It has something to do with that boy Jing Yan." Chang Huan said.
Chang Huan and Jing Yan are considered acquaintances. At the Alchemy Conference, Chang Huan invited Jing Yan to enter the Holy Palace, but Jing Yan declined politely.
"Jing Yan?"
"Is this the little guy who you personally invited but was rejected?" the Holy Master said in slight surprise.
After Chang Huan returned to the Holy City, he talked about Jing Yan with the Holy Lord. It was not for any other purpose, but because Jing Yan won the first place in the alchemy ceremony. His talent in alchemy was amazing. Chang Huan must focus on Jing Yan's information.
High Speed Lord.
The Holy Lord asked Chang Huan to attend the Alchemy and Spiritual Conference for this purpose.
The Holy Master also needs to know about any alchemist who can be on the Rookie Alchemy King List. Naturally, he will know more about the number one on the Rookie Alchemy King List.
"Yes, that's him!" Chang Huan nodded.
"What did this kid do?" the Holy Lord asked again.
"He killed Gu Xinghe!" Chang Huan said with a change of face.
If it weren't for the fact that the news came from Zhou Shangyun himself, it would be hard for him to believe that the news was true. When he first received the news, he was stunned for a moment.
Of course Chang Huan knows who Gu Xinghe is.
"What did you say?" The Holy Master frowned sharply.
Even he, the controller of the continent, was severely shocked after hearing the news.
Gu Xinghe, that is the candidate patriarch of the Gu family. Ten years from now, Gu Xinghe will most likely be the new patriarch of the Gu family.
Jing Yan, kill Gu Xinghe?
"What the hell is going on?"
"Did someone help Jing Yan kill Gu Xinghe? As far as I know, Gu Xinghe was surrounded by guards arranged by the Gu family. If I remember correctly, Gu Xinghe's guard is called Mr. Yin, right? The realm is a Tao King realm.
Peak warrior." The Holy Master also knows the situation of Gu Xinghe very well.
In his opinion, it was obviously impossible for Jing Yan to complete the task of killing Gu Xinghe alone.
Someone must have helped him. Or someone must have taken advantage of him.
"Zhou Shangyun didn't see the specific process with his own eyes. But he sent all the information he knew through the communication crystal. There is a 90% chance that Jing Yan killed Gu Xinghe and Yin Lao alone. In addition, this
Jing Yan is not only an alchemy master, but also a good formation master. According to Zhou Shangyun, Jing Yan was able to kill Mr. Yin because of some formations." Chang Huan said slowly.
After saying these words, even he found it incredible. It was outrageous that a warrior at the peak of the Dao King Realm was actually killed by Jing Yan.
Holy Lord, be silent.
"Lord Holy Lord, this Jing Yan is definitely a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years. If we don't ask, Jing Yan may not be able to escape the pursuit of the Gu family. The Gu family will not let Jing Yan off easily." It's good to see the Holy Lord.
Hui said nothing, and Chang Huan said again.
"This matter is very difficult to handle!" The Holy Lord frowned and shook his head, "I can't directly intervene in the protection of this Jing Yan. But I can help his family. You can reply to Zhou Shangyun and let Jing Yan find someone by himself.
I will hide somewhere and never show my face again. I will try my best to prevent the Gu family from taking action against Jing Yan’s family."
"This..." Chang Huan still hoped in his heart that the Holy Lord could protect Jing Yan.
"Chang Huan, I know what you mean, but you should also know that there are some things that I can't do anything about. If Jing Yan killed an ordinary member of the Gu family, I could come forward to talk about it. But what is Gu Xinghe's identity?
His grandfather is Gu Wanquan. Jing Yan killed his grandson, do you think he will give up revenge on Jing Yan just because I came forward?" The Holy Master's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Chang Huan sighed softly.
He understood that what the Holy Lord said was true. This old guy Gu Wanquan was not easy to deal with. Sometimes, the Holy Lord was also difficult to deal with.
"I'll reply to Zhou Shangyun right away!" Chang Huan showed a helpless expression.
This time, the trap Jing Yan poked was really too big.
Streaming City!
"Greetings to the ancestor!" Gujinlan stood respectfully in front of Gu Wanzhong.
"Have you found out?" Gu Wanquan's wrinkled face looked very calm, but the coldness in his eyes made even Gu Jinlan feel cold all over.
"Well. Xinghe's death is related to a young warrior named Jing Yan. Xinghe and this Jingyan entered an ancient cave that our Gu family discovered not long ago in Lanqu County. That Jingyan came out, but Xinghe failed to
Come out." Gujinlan replied.
The energy of the Gu family is truly astonishing.
In just a few days, the matter was almost completely investigated.
"What is the identity of this Jing Yan?" Gu Wanquan's eyes sharpened, murderous intent surging throughout his body.
Gujinlan told everything about Jing Yan in detail.
"So, the Qiankun Ring should be in this person. Xinghe is looking for him because he wants to find out about this matter!" Gu Wanquan stood up.
"It's very possible." Gujinlan nodded.
"Bring this thief back, I want to question him personally!" Gu Wanquan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" Gujinlan responded, "Ancestor, there is one more thing. The Holy Lord sent someone to send a message. He wants you to go to the Holy Palace. He said that he has something to discuss with you. I think it is probably with this person.
Since it has something to do with Jing Yan, he will probably ask me, ancestor, to let Jing Yan go."
"hehe……"
"Let that little beast go? My grandson's death will be in vain? Hum, I'm going to the Holy Palace right away. I want to see what the Holy Lord wants to say to me!" Gu Wanquan's breath condensed, and he snorted coldly.
There was a sense of contempt in it.
Obviously, even the Holy Lord cannot force him to do anything.
