Gu Yue Zuo Mu

Making sure that he was completely dead he left the body on the ground before he went around cleaning up any clues that might have been left behind before using one rank 7 immortal essence to store his body into the Pocket Space Gu then following the same way he came he snuck back all the way to his room unnoticed before starting to cultivate to get closer to rank 2.

The next morning he headed off to the Gu home to see any new Gu that could interest him along with Shen Cui and Mo Yan, sadly today's luck was not as good as yesterday's as he only bought some materials for refinement.

After a couple more days with not much to gain it was finally time for the caravan to leave.

"We're leaving, see you next year!" Some of the Gu Masters sat on the Gu worms and turned their bodies to bid farewell.

At the entrance of the village, many people gathered as they sent the caravan off with their gazes."You must come again next year!"

Reluctant to see them depart, the children shouted loudly.

The adults had more complicated expressions."The road ahead is unforeseen. In these hard times, for those who are able to come to the village next year, how many would still be familiar faces?"

"Be it at the merchant caravan or in the village, it is not easy to earn a living."As the caravan left further and further, as the crowd dispersed.

The cheerful and lighthearted market atmosphere had also subsequently disappeared. The original spot that had erected tents and shops was now left with a huge mess. The grass turf had been walked upon continuously by the crowd, grassroots and mud soil trampled out. The rainwater hit on its surface, immediately forming mud and numerous little pot-holes that collected muddy water. In addition to that, there was a lot of garbage left over.

Fang Yuan stood on a secluded hillside, watching the merchant caravan from far away with Shen Cui and Mo Yan behind him. The merchant caravan was like a fat and colorful flower python, snaking through the narrow mountain road under the grey heavy rain, slowly entering the dense mountain forest.

Standing behind him both girls held umbrella shielding them away from the rain, standing in the same spot as last time, with the death of Jia Jin Sheng later on they will invite divine investigator Tie to come and all I have to do is leave some clues leading to the first gen Gu Yue's resting place and all shall fall into place, I just wonder what this timeline's Bai Ning Bing is like without the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique will you still be able to rise to the top will you remain at the bottom with a C grade talent.

Breathing out he looked towards the direction of the Central Continents, Fate Gu oh Fate Gu this time you will not cause me so much trouble this time, then staring at the rainy sky staring up, hmph Heaven's will and and Constellations Venerable this time I'm prepared it won't be me being the chess piece it the opposite this time, this time you will be my tools.

Soon another couple of days went by

As Gu Yue Bo was resting reading some reports on Fang Zheng his personal guard rushed in without warning "Clan head, Clan head something terrible has happened we need you out there now"

Startled by his panicked guard with slight anger "why have you barged in without even knocking what's so important that you think you can just charge in here"

The panicking guard realized his mistakes as he said "I'm so sorry Clan head it's just that it's too important, the rank 4 sir Jia Fu from the caravan has returned and he demands to see you now, he also said that his brother has gone missing and the last he was seen was in our village"

"What!" bouncing off his seat in shock as he quickly calmed down slightly before rushing out his study to the main hall where Jia Fu was currently seated, rushing forward to greet him before finally asking "brother Jia is this true has your brother truly gone missing"

He gravely said "I'm afraid so and I demand you hand over the Gu master who had won the Mudskin Toad from my caravan over as I suspect he was the one behind my brother's disappearance, perhaps it might be worse"

Gu Yue Bo nervously sat down before commanding some guards to haul that Gu master here immediately.

"Brother Jia, that Gu master will be brought here immediately, have a seat." Gu Yue Bo pointed at a seat near him and said to Jia Fu.

Jia Fu laughed bitterly, cupping his fists at Gu Yue Bo. "I apologize to Brother Gu Yue! I was really anxious then, it has already been days since I've seen my brother, I fear for the worst. I really cannot afford to wait."

"Reporting to clan leader sir, that Gu master has been brought here." Quickly, the Clan head's personal guard brought that Gu master to the hall.

"Gu Yue Zuo Mu pays his respects to clan elder, Sir Jia Fu, and the various clan elders," the unlucky Gumaster said with a nervous face.

"It's him?" Jia Fu coldly observed Zuo Mu, at the same time, asked a female Gu Master.

This female Gu Master was the one who Zuo Mu bought the purple gold rock from at the gambling den."Yes, it's him! There is no mistake," The female Gu Master stared at Zuo Mu, saying confidently.

Jia Fu nodded. Immediately his gaze was like two steel blades, slashing at Zuo Mu. But he did not interrogate openly, for this was the Gu Yue village, thus he had to give the Gu Yue clan leader some respect.
