#261 - Chapter 261 The Family's Anger
"The Gu family has reached a secret deal with the Beast Ancestor."
"They want to use the Beast Ancestor's power to assassinate you in that plane."
Su Yuanzheng said to Wu Wei in a low voice.
"It's not quite right to call it an assassination. To be precise, what they really want is you."
"After all, the Gu family still hasn't given up searching for Gu Changqing."
"Once their scheme succeeds, after you are captured, they will definitely use the power of soul mages to peer into your soul."
"What's even more terrifying is that the Gu family's actions are 'legal' in the Lord Era."
"Because the place where they plan to strike is outside the real world!"
"In this situation, if something really happens to you, the laws of the real world cannot restrain them."
Wu Wei's expression changed upon hearing Su Yuanzheng's words.
Because his life was at stake, even Wu Wei had to be careful.
"Uncle Su, how did you find out about this information?"
"This information comes from the spies I have planted, or rather, the agents."
Su Yuanzheng glanced at Wu Wei and continued.
"Kid, you must remember that spies are everywhere in major guilds, families, and even alliances."
"But their main duty is to secretly record the troop deployments and territory situations of various forces."
"Don't underestimate the information they provide. This information is useful in many situations, such as today's."
"Because most lords are more or less involved with various forces, the existence of spies is very common."
"The battles between mature lords are not just on the battlefield. Beneath the battlefield, there are countless open and secret struggles."
"But you don't need to worry about this problem, because you haven't joined any force yet."
"To other lords, you are, to some extent, 'very mysterious'."
"Staying mysterious is a good thing for you."
"And more importantly, Wu Wei, the Su family guild's spy network is open to you."
"If you want, you can use the Su family's spy network to get the information you want at any time."
"Okay, good."
Wu Wei did not reject the offer.
After all, he really needed this help now.
But besides that, Wu Wei had a few questions to ask him.
"Uncle Su, there are some questions I don't understand."
"Why can the Gu family trade with the Beast Ancestor? I remember the Beast Ancestor seems to be an enemy of the Empire, right? Would this Beastman God really make deals with enemies?"
"And why do they have to catch me without any evidence?"
Faced with Wu Wei's questions, Su Yuanzheng sighed helplessly.
"Kid, the Beast Ancestor is indeed the enemy of the Empire, that's right."
"But the problem is, the Beast Ancestor isn't necessarily the enemy of the Gu family!"
"You need to know that the world we live in is not a black-and-white existence, because even if they all serve the Empire, the lords under the Empire are not all on good terms."
"Even in many cases, the animosity between these lords is even stronger than the hatred between the Empire and the alien races."
"So, the word 'enemy' you just said needs to be put in quotation marks."
"As for why the Gu family can conduct secret transactions with the Beast Ancestor, I'm not quite sure either."
"Because the various families within the Empire basically have secrets unique to their own families."
"Perhaps the Gu family's secret is related to the Beast Ancestor, who knows."
"As for what you just said about not having evidence... that might need to be changed."
Speaking of this, Su Yuanzheng's face also became very bad.
"Because recently, I also received a second piece of information about you, but the source of this information comes from Gu Changqing's fiancée, Li Mengmeng's Li family!"
"The content of this information is that, under the witness of the Gu family, the Li family successfully used the prophetic power of the gods to check the causal relationship between you and Gu Changqing."
"The result showed that Gu Changqing had died not long ago, and his soul had also disappeared in the Lord Era."
"And his death is indeed related to you!"
PS: Chapter 169.
Hearing this, the pupils in Wu Wei's eyes shrank sharply.
He was very shocked.
Because he really didn't know why Gu Changqing's death was related to him.
"How is this possible?"
"Because I never cared about that idiot, and there was no need to kill him."
"And even if I wanted to kill him, how could I have waited until now to do it?"
But at this time, Su Yuanzheng raised his hand and interrupted Wu Wei's speech.
"It's okay, child, I believe you."
"Because that damn god's prophecy is very vague."
"Even if you just glanced at him, it might be related to his death."
"So, this is probably just an excuse that the Gu family found."
"But no matter what, Wu Wei, never set foot in that plane called the Beast Ancestor's Backyard."
"Because that plane is a complete trap!"
"In that plane, the Gu family's army has long been prepared."
"Once you open the portal, they will rush into your territory without hesitation!"
"At that time, you will have to face the wrath of an entire family that has lost its heir!"
