Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 24 Leaking the Young Master’s Whereabouts, This Person Deserves to Die

The news of the Gu Family’s Divine Son appearing in Northern Wilderness City spread rapidly, as if it had grown wings, reaching the surrounding ancient cities in no time.

The scene of the old city lord personally welcoming him that day was undeniable, witnessed by countless eyes.

Many factions were utterly shocked. Particularly those ancient sects with long-standing legacies, which had previously speculated about the unique constitution of the Gu Family’s Divine Son.

They never imagined that he would begin traversing the world so soon.

Of course, it was also possible that this Divine Son was not the same person who caused the terrifying phenomena thirteen years ago. Although there were various conjectures, no one dared to investigate.

As long as the title of the Immortal Family remained, no one dared to provoke the tiger*!

[*An idiom meaning “to court disaster by provoking someone powerful or dangerous.]

Shortly afterward, countless cultivators began flooding toward Northern Wilderness City like a tidal wave.

The extreme record left on the Heavenly Dao Monument was simply too shocking. Many cultivators wanted to witness the true face of this mysterious Divine Son.

To see what kind of ‘monster’ he truly was.

Secondly, there was the matter of opportunity!

The Gu Family’s Divine Son would not have gone to Northern Wilderness City for no reason, especially given the recent constant disturbances in the Northern Wasteland Sacred Tomb.

It was highly likely that some extraordinary treasure was about to emerge.

However, most of the cultivators with such thoughts were rogue cultivators.

Those with even a modest sect or family background were aware that this was a sign of the once-in-a-millennium Hunting Conference about to begin.

“This crowd is really fanatical! After all this time, they’re still shouting! Becoming the Young Master’s follower isn’t so easy!”

Hearing the nearly fervent voices calling from outside the palace, Su Xiaoxuan shrank her neck, looking like a frightened quail.

If not for Tuoba Siyu blocking the palace entrance, she reckoned those people would have stormed inside, seemingly unafraid of death.

Gu Changsheng, dressed in a moon-white robe, with black hair as glossy as obsidian cascading down his back, sat cross-legged by the window, casually flipping through an ancient tome in his hands.

His expression was relaxed and lazy.

“You were just like them once,” he said faintly in response.

“How could I be the same as them? Young Master, how can you wrong me like this? I’m a sword prodigy, destined to clear all obstacles for you in the future!”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxuan was immediately displeased. She puffed out her undeveloped chest and proclaimed loudly.

Having spent some time with Gu Changsheng, she understood that the Young Master was an easygoing and approachable person, so she was no longer as reserved as before.

More importantly, in Gu Changsheng’s view, this girl seemed to be missing a few screws in her head—or perhaps her spirit was incomplete—leading to her frequent foolishness.

“So, have you peeled the spiritual fruits yet?” He put down the ancient tome in his hands, glanced at her, and asked.

“Oh! Yes, I’ve peeled them. Young Master, please taste them and see if they’re fresh. The spiritual energy shouldn’t have dissipated much,” Su Xiaoxuan quickly reacted, hastily presenting a jade plate with spiritual fruits.

“Your swordsmanship is only good enough for peeling fruit,” Gu Changsheng remarked disdainfully.

“Young Master, how can you be so mean…” Su Xiaoxuan complained with a hint of grievance.

Though she admitted her swordsmanship was far inferior to the Young Master’s, he didn’t have to put it that way.

“But, Young Master, how did they know you were staying here? Logically, the old city lord wouldn’t have exposed your whereabouts,” Su Xiaoxuan suddenly asked, her face filled with doubt.

Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that even this seemingly dim-witted girl noticed something unusual.

“Anyone who wants to meet the Young Master must first get past me. But whether you live or die will depend entirely on your luck.”

Outside the pavilion, Tuoba Siyu stood like an impenetrable wall of iron and bronze, his massive frame blocking the way, his gaze as sharp and imposing as a demon god’s!

The cultivators hoping to meet Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but show fear on their faces.

Even one of the Young Master’s followers had the strength of a half-step Heaven Splitting Realm cultivator and was younger than most of them.

His vitality burned like a blazing furnace.@@novelbin@@

“If you can’t even defeat me, what makes you think you’re qualified to meet the Young Master, let alone follow him? You’re simply not worthy!” Tuoba Siyu declared coldly.

“This brother, my father is the head of the Zhao Family in Northern Wilderness City…”

“Scram!”

Seeing someone still brazenly approaching, Tuoba Siyu’s eyes flashed with demonic energy, forming two rune-carved demonic blades.

The young man speaking let out a muffled groan and was flung away like a broken sandbag, crashing into the wall on the opposite side of the street.

It was unclear if he was alive or dead!

Witnessing this scene, some cultivators finally showed fear on their faces and prepared to retreat.

Tuoba Siyu’s ears twitched, and his expression changed slightly. Grabbing a nearby cultivator, he coldly asked, “Who told you the Young Master was residing in this palace?”

Had the Young Master not transmitted his voice to inform him, he wouldn’t have thought of this possibility.

Someone had deliberately leaked the Young Master’s whereabouts.

Though it wasn’t a significant issue, it was undoubtedly a nuisance, clearly intended to provoke them.

The captured cultivator was terrified and stammered, “It… it was someone from the City Lord’s Mansion who told us. He also said that the Gu Family’s Divine Son was short on followers and urged us to seize the opportunity.”

Someone from the City Lord’s Mansion?

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow in the palace.

Interesting.

I just arrived in Northern Wilderness City, and someone is already dissatisfied with me?

“What did that person look like?” Tuoba Siyu’s face turned icy as he continued questioning.

“I only remember he wasn’t of the human race. Based on his appearance, he seemed to be from the Yaksha Clan.”

Tuoba Siyu’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he declared, “Leaking the Young Master’s whereabouts—that person deserves death!”
