Chapter 791: The Expert Descends the Mountain!
"Lan Sect Leader, to be honest, from what I know, your Fifth Junior Brother, Elder Mo Li, has long been dead! And the person who killed him is the same as my enemy, which is why Huangfu Qingzhi specifically recommended me to come here, requesting you to send an even more powerful expert to help us deal with the enemy and avenge Elder Mo Li!"
Qi Mengge said to Lan Sect Leader.
"What did you say?"
Lan Sect Leader was astonished upon hearing this, staring incredulously at Qi Mengge!
Simultaneously, everyone who came out of the Five Gu Sect, from young boys to middle-aged disciples, and even those of the same generation as Lan Sect Leader, all appeared equally shocked.
They exchanged glances and discussions, all appearing beside themselves with rage!
"Who dares to be so bold as to kill Fifth Junior Brother?"
A tall, thin old man immediately stepped out from behind Lan Sect Leader and asked coldly.
Qi Mengge was frightened by his aura and quickly forced a smile: "Elders, please don't be agitated. The person who killed Elder Mo Li is named Jiang Feng, a person from Jiangdong, Binhai!"
"Although he is young, just in his early twenties, he possesses considerable combat power. He nearly wiped out my entire family before. Elder Mo Li and another elder from the Divine Fist Temple were unfortunately killed during his destruction of the Huangfu Family. Now, the Huangfu Family and I share a common enemy!"
"A young man in his early twenties?"
The entire Five Gu Sect became even more agitated upon hearing this!
How absurd it was that the grand Fifth Elder was killed by a young man in his early twenties, and how much it insulted the entire Five Gu Sect!
It should be known that although there are still a few Second Generation Gu Masters alive in the Five Gu Sect now, they are mostly in seclusion. The Third Generation, led by Lan Sect Leader, essentially represents the face of the Five Gu Sect.
Mo Li was once a leading figure among the Third Generation, ranking fifth, and his death was a huge loss to the entire Five Gu Sect!
"Fifth Junior Brother could control the Bone-Eroding Insect Tide and had the Toad King, one of this sect's Five Immortals, as his aid. How could he have died at the hands of a mere young man? Even if that young man were a Martial Artist, it shouldn't be so bizarre. Could there be other secrets you're hiding from me?"
Lan Sect Leader looked coldly at Qi Mengge and asked.
"Lan Sect Leader, do you think I would travel thousands of miles to deceive you? What I am saying is fact. Although I didn't witness the battle between Elder Mo Li and Jiang Feng, he indeed died at the hands of Jiang Feng! Moreover, the other two major families in Jiangdong Province were also destroyed because of him!"
"Unbelievable!" Lan Sect Leader gritted his teeth: "Where did this young man come from, so freakish!"
"Damn it, you old fool, when will you shut up? Our lady has already explained the whole situation, and you're still dilly-dallying here as if you're a worldly sage getting a face-saving visit from us by our lady coming to such a godforsaken place to invite you out. Don't be so ungrateful!"
Zhou Zhengang, who long found the people of the Five Gu Sect intolerable, couldn't bear it any longer and said.
"Uncle Gang..." Qi Mengge immediately gave him a sharp look and reprimanded him in a low voice.
"Who is this?" Lan Sect Leader squinted at Zhou Zhengang, not angry, but rather asked playfully.
"Lan Sect Leader, sorry for this, this is the Qi Family's Great Housekeeper Zhou Zhengang, he doesn't quite believe in the existence of strange people like you, so he spoke offensively..."
Qi Mengge said with an apologetic smile.
"No problem."
Lan Sect Leader glanced at Zhou Zhengang again and suddenly made a strange sound from his mouth, whereupon the toad on his left shoulder instantly lashed its tongue towards Zhou Zhengang, spraying a mouthful of venom.
Zhou Zhengang, as Zhou Zhenhai's brother, had Middle Stage Maestro level strength, but in the face of the toad's direct spray, he didn't manage to dodge at all.
He was directly hit in the face by the venom!
Immediately, he let out a heartrending scream.
He instinctively covered his face with both hands.
Then, his entire face immediately began to corrode and rot.
Even his hands started emitting wisps of black smoke, and at a visible pace, melted away back to bone!
Qi Mengge was shocked, never expecting Lan Sect Leader to act so swiftly, without any mercy.
Soon, amidst Zhou Zhengang's blood-curdling screams, his face became a bloody hole, his hands completely dissolved, and he fell straight to the ground dead!
"No matter what your status is outside, once you are here, it's my Lan Zuo who decides! Even Huangfu Qingzhi, a regional official, must treat me respectfully, and you dare speak out of turn?"
Lan Sect Leader looked coldly at the badly dead Zhou Zhengang on the ground and said disdainfully.
Qi Mengge was instantly chilled to the bone, feeling icy all over!
However, having witnessed Lan Sect Leader's skills, her confidence instead increased, believing that the Five Gu Sect would surely be able to kill Jiang Feng!
"Lan Sect Leader, what a great feat!"
Qi Mengge immediately exclaimed excitedly: "It seems Uncle Zhi was right to ask me to invite you out, hoping you will inevitably lend a helping hand. On behalf of the Jiangdong Qi Family, I am immensely grateful!"
"You and Huangfu Qingzhi aren't worthy of me personally coming out, but for the sake of the Fifth Junior Brother's death, I will send someone to accompany you to avenge the Fifth Junior Brother!"
Lan Zuo said indifferently, then suddenly called out: "Junior Brother Miao!"
"Present!"
A tall and thin old man in exotic clothes behind him stepped out and answered.
"Accompany Lady Qi and take a trip to Binhai, execute that young man who killed Fifth Junior Brother, and bring his head back to me."
"Yes!"
The tall, thin old man nodded, then said to Qi Mengge: "Lady Qi, let's go! I've been cultivating diligently in the sect and haven't left the Ten Thousand Mountains, so take me to Jiangdong to broaden my horizons!"
"This elder, you are?"
Qi Mengge was somewhat disappointed that Lan Sect Leader wasn't personally going, but still showed sufficient respect to the tall, thin old man and asked.
"This old man is Miao Renfeng, Third Elder of the Five Gu Sect. Handling that brat is more than enough!" Miao Renfeng smirked coldly.
Lan Sect Leader added: "This Junior Brother Miao is specialized in the 'Dead Man Poisonous Insect', one of the few experts in the Miao Region; his skills will undoubtedly be world-shaking, rest assured."
"Dead Man Poisonous Insect?"
Qi Mengge, though not entirely understanding, said: "Good! Then please, Elder Miao, accompany me on this trip! We came in a hurry and only prepared some ordinary gifts in the trunk; please accept them, Lan Sect Leader. After the matter is resolved, the Qi Family will surely have more substantial thanks and even be willing to honor Lan Sect Leader as a distinguished guest, maintaining friendly relations forever."
Lan Sect Leader nodded slightly, then unceremoniously instructed his disciples to move the gifts from Qi Mengge's Mercedes trunk.
He then saw Qi Mengge personally drive a car with Miao Renfeng out of the mountains, back to Jiangdong!
