The blue-robed elder snorted, "Strange? What's so strange about this?"
Chu Yang remained silent.
The blue-robed elder continued, "So, you're saying that the ones who killed Lan Ruoyun were from the Zhuge family and the Ye family?"
Chu Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Not entirely. Later, when Young Master Lan was severely injured and unable to move... I saw a master from the Zhuge family seemed to say something, then went into the woods to catch a wolf..."
The blue-robed elder's eyes filled with killing intent, and he shouted angrily, "Don't say anymore."
Chu Yang immediately fell silent, like a cicada in winter.
The blue-robed elder's face darkened as he pondered in silence for a long time; then he spoke as if to himself, "Gu Duxing, if the situation becomes critical, would you be willing to testify for me?"
Chu Yang was momentarily taken aback when he heard him call out 'Gu Duxing'; he nearly failed to react and cautiously replied, "This... I am afraid I cannot make the decision. Everything depends on my master's wishes."
The blue-robed elder said indifferently, "That is natural. At that time, I will naturally find the Enforcement Headquarters and have Lang Yilang come out!"
Chu Yang responded, "If my master agrees to show up, I will naturally take on the responsibility!"
The blue-robed elder smiled faintly, "Good."
Suddenly, his figure blurred and disappeared without a trace before the three of them, his voice echoing from the void, "When the time comes, I will find you two masters and disciples!"
Dong Wushang and Rui Butong, who had been silent in their cooperation, were about to ask something as the blue-robed person left; but Chu Yang stopped them, and the three of them traveled in silence, urging their horses forward until they had covered four or five hundred miles on the main road.
Only then did Chu Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Boss, this matter... is a bit difficult to understand," Rui Butong finally burst out after holding it in for a long time.
"What is there to not understand?" Chu Yang smiled lightly.
"This lie can easily be exposed. That brother has no disciple named Gu Duxing. If the two of them face each other, it will be revealed," Rui Butong said, "At that time, this person will come to find you, and that Lang Yilang, who claims to be the Chief Enforcer of the Penal Hall, will also come for you... This is very inconsistent with the way you usually handle things, Boss."
"It would be good if it were revealed," Chu Yang smiled and said, "What I fear is that this Chief Enforcer does not come to find me! If he comes to find me, that would be the best case scenario."
Dong Wushang and Rui Butong were both extremely puzzled, looking at him in confusion.
Chu Yang smiled mysteriously and made a face at the two of them.
At this moment, he was contemplating a piece of information in his heart.
"The Amethyst Hand can only be cultivated in the Amethyst Mine, where Amethyst is very dense. Once successfully cultivated and one goes out, they can maintain the power of the Amethyst Hand; but if injured, or if the divine skill of the Amethyst Hand suffers a catastrophic blow, only by returning to the original place of cultivation can one truly recover."
"And the sixth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword has a name: 'Purple Qi Comes from the East'! It can only be hidden in such a place for ten thousand years! This means that the place where the Amethyst Hand can be cultivated has more than a fifty percent chance of finding the sixth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword!"
Chu Yang smiled inwardly.
Lang Yilang is at the Enforcement Headquarters, and with his current strength, if he were to go to the Enforcement Headquarters, it would undoubtedly mean death. If he were to come down from the mountains under the pressure of this blue-robed person to find his 'Gu Duxing', that would be the best scenario!
So when Chu Yang first saw this blue-robed person, he confirmed this strategy.
Despite being a bit risky and the lie easily exposed, there are many dangers; but Chu Yang would rather accept this risk. What he wanted was to be exposed!
