"Who exactly are you?"
Ji Yunyue's expression was frigid as she reprimanded him.
This Ah Gou appeared extremely ordinary, but the sinister smile flickering in his eyes always gave her an uneasy feeling.
At the same time, this fellow's Gu techniques were far too bizarre.
Nanometer-level Gu worms were indeed difficult to capture with the naked eye, but they usually emitted a strong aura.
Practitioners of Gu arts possessed a certain keen perception; even if they couldn't react, they could sense it.
However, when Lin Shuainan was struck just now, Ji Yunyue had no perception whatsoever. If it weren't for Ling Feng's intervention, forcefully vibrating the Gu worm that struck Lin Shuainan out, Ji Yunyue would not have been able to fully comprehend the mystery behind it.
This made Ji Yunyue even more astonished by the other party's identity.
Yet, Ah Gou had not yet responded to Ji Yunyue's question.
The group behind them had already erupted!
"She, that's right, she is the Saintess of the Witch God Hall!"
"How could this be? The Saintess of the Witch God Hall has arrived, does that mean the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall is also here?"
"I've seen her before too, her name is Ji Yunyue, she is the Saintess of this generation!"
"Since the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall has come, why isn't he showing himself? With such a major event happening, are they not planning to intervene?"
"Damn it, has the Witch God Hall abandoned us Gu practitioners?"
"How is that possible? We Gu practitioners of Nanyun are all subjects of the Witch God Hall, they have an obligation to protect us! Why aren't they stepping forward?"
...
Such voices surged with increasing intensity, and Ji Yunyue felt immense pressure as the primary target.
Ling Feng's gaze was indifferent as he stared at Ah Gou.
At this moment, Ah Gou's face was filled with a ferocious and smug expression. Clearly, this was Ah Gou's true objective!
He brought some people here precisely to incite the crowd and make all Gu practitioners completely disillusioned with their so-called place of faith, the Witch God Hall!
When a person's faith collapses, the hatred that erupts is quite terrifying!
And this hatred was currently brewing, about to explode!
The figure of the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall finally emerged from behind the crowd, and the hooded robe that concealed his face fluttered down!
His true face was revealed before everyone!
Ah Gou's eyes immediately lit up, and he pointed at the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall!
"Haha, Hall Master of the Witch God Hall, you are indeed here! I never expected, never expected that with such a major event occurring in our Gu world, you would not only fail to help but instead be holed up in this hotel enjoying yourself? You are simply treating the lives of us Gu practitioners as mere grass!"
His shout stirred up a thousand waves.
Everyone angrily fixed their gazes on the figure of the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
"Is that the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall?"
"I don't know, it's my first time seeing him, but... damn it, why isn't he appearing when we're making such a big fuss?"
"This guy has betrayed us!"
"Bastard, I think he's in league with that King of Hell!"
Under the sweeping wind, some even linked the Witch God Hall with the Corpse Robbery Association.
It was clear that some among these Gu practitioners were deliberately steering the narrative. If it were any other time, perhaps the prestige of the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall would have been enough to quell the entire scene!
However, on this occasion, it was completely impossible.
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall had appeared at the most inopportune moment. At this juncture, everyone was filled with hatred and anger!
Yet, the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall remained composed.
He swept his gaze across the crowd and spoke with authority.
"Foolish!"
Just two words completely suppressed the clamor below!
Ah Gou's figure retreated repeatedly, feeling a terrifying surge of energy impacting him.
After retreating several steps, Ah Gou arrived beside Mo Zhonghua and immediately said coldly, "Alliance Leader, it's your turn. This is a golden opportunity. The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall is not accompanied by those Great Witch Masters or elders. If you kill him today, the Witch God Hall will be yours!"
Mo Zhonghua was not a fool. From beginning to end, he knew that Ah Gou finding him must have had a purpose!
This had also made Mo Zhonghua somewhat wary!
However, what Ah Gou said now was entirely faultless!
This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"It seems you deeply resent the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall?"
Mo Zhonghua did not step forward to confront him directly but instead asked with a hint of amusement.
Ah Gou's lips twitched twice, and then he sneered, "Heh, Alliance Leader, you must resent the Witch God Hall even more than I do, right? I am loyal to you, and solving our common enemy is enough!"
"What you said is not wrong. Indeed, from now on, do not try to be clever in front of me!"
Mo Zhonghua's voice was filled with authority and a chilling killing intent, and then he stepped forward, facing the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall alone.
Ah Gou was slightly stunned, then gnashed his teeth as he stared at Mo Zhonghua's retreating back.
"This idiot, he's not that brainless, but if you fail today, you will only have death awaiting you!"
He said this with venom in his heart, and then Ah Gou casually raised his hand.
Immediately, a wave of clamor erupted from behind!
"Alliance Leader, the Alliance Leader has stepped out!"
"Good! Good! Our Alliance Leader is more reliable!"
"Exactly! What kind of bullshit Witch God Hall Hall Master, hiding here and not coming out, and occupying the place, refusing to let us stay! It's clear they are opposing us!"
"Witch God Hall, hmph, our eight great families have long been displeased with them!"
"Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader!"
For a time, everyone was chanting the name of the Alliance Leader.
Mo Zhonghua had been somewhat nervous, but upon hearing the voices behind him, he became extremely exhilarated.
Purple flowing light appeared around him.
Purple Slaughtering Cry Gu!
Woo woo woo...
Sounds like ghostly wails and howls circled Mo Zhonghua, and his aura surged. The voices behind him diminished.
Everyone in the entire venue took a heavy breath.
For a moment, it was as if the clear sky had turned into dark clouds overhead!
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall had originally intended to persuade the foolish Gu practitioners below a few words.
However, he had not expected Mo Zhonghua to step forward so eagerly. With such a challenge, if he did not accept it, the Witch God Hall would have no prestige whatsoever!
Fine, he would deal with him first!
The Hall Master's eyes flashed with a cold light: "You are a descendant of the Mo family?"
"Indeed, I am Mo Zhonghua! The Witch God Hall, aiding and abetting evil, betraying all Gu practitioners, today, I, Mo Zhonghua, will act on behalf of Heaven!"
Mo Zhonghua roared without fear, as if he had become the embodiment of justice at this moment.
Such provocation further angered the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
"Hmph, very well, today, I shall cut down this traitor..."
"Hall Master, there's no need for you to handle such a minor character."
Abruptly, Ling Feng stepped forward, raising his hand to block the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
"Mr. Ling, you..."
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall was full of surprise.
Ling Feng was going to act personally?!
