Silver Tower

Avoiding the blade strike from Tianyinlou Wuzong, Gu Jinlai's gaze did not linger on him at all.

With the explosive power brought by the "Across the World and the Four Seas" technique, his figure shot into the air like an arrow, covering hundreds of meters. With a wave of his hand, the sword that had knocked away Luo Zhenyu's top-grade spiritual sword flew back into his hand due to the recoil from the impact.

With the sword in hand, disregarding the Gu Jinlai that he was still in the void, he once again hurled the flying sword using the power technique of "annihilation of all directions".

"Boom!"

The flying sword pierced the air, creating a sonic boom!

Although Luo Zhenyu flew into the void the moment he made contact with Gu Jinlai, the distance between the two was only about four hundred meters.

Faced with the supersonic sword thrown with all his might by King Gu Jinlai, he was unable to retrieve his top-grade flying sword immediately and could only watch helplessly as the sword thrown by Gu Jinlai spun rapidly and struck him.

"No..."

"Bang!"

Blood spurted out.

Luo Zhenyu, who was standing 400 meters in the air, was directly cut in two by this sword, and blood mist scattered everywhere.

At this moment, Gu Jinlai had been charging forward, landed again. His feet bent slightly, but he did not stop for a moment, and his strength flowed through his whole body.

As the street floor cracked like a spiderweb, his body, like a taut spring, shot back into the void.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed back the superior-grade spirit sword that originally belonged to him.

Then he suddenly looked up, and under the horrified gaze of the Heavenly Silver Pavilion's Primordial Spirit True Lord, the spirit sword spun rapidly once more and was thrown out.

The sword of that primordial Primordial Spirit True Lord is Gu Jinlai. How can he use the sword to defend himself?

Despite his swift dodge, the thrown "flying sword" still grazed his body. The hurricane and Gang Qi contained in the sword swirled up blood mist on his body, causing him to lose his balance in mid-air.

Seeing this, Gu Jinlai did not hesitate to throw his flying sword with all his might.

This time, the True Lord Primordial Spirit was powerless to dodge and could only watch helplessly as a scene of "returning the object to its rightful owner" unfolded Gu Jinlai.

However, unable to resist the enthusiasm for "returning things to their rightful owners" Gu Jinlai, this returned flying sword perfectly achieved a momentary unity with that True Lord, and in the next instant, it was pierced through by the flying sword itself.

Blood stained the sky.

"Bang!"

Gu Jinlai, the figures that soared into the void landed steadily back on the ground.

His mastery of power allowed him to perfectly reduce his own force, leaving no footprints on the street.

He reached out his hand.

The superior-grade spirit sword flew back into his hand.

Not only this top-grade spirit sword, but also the supreme-grade spirit sword belonging to Luo Zhenyu was steadily caught by him with his left hand.

Then I turned around...

The first thing that catches the eye is a chaotic street scene.

Next came the Martial Master, whose blade had been dodged by someone who had Gu Jinlai been so horrified.

Noticing the gazes of those from Gu Jinlai upon him, the Martial Grandmaster's pupils constricted sharply, and his fear reached its peak. "Misunderstanding... Misunderstanding, Your Excellency Martial King, it's a misunderstanding... I was just..."

"Call out!"

His response was a "flying sword" strike that, Gu Jinlai again, unleashed a devastating attack from all directions!

To be precise, it was two strikes.

Faced with a sword thrown at him from Gu Jinlai, the martial master's spirit and energy surged to the extreme, and he unleashed a stunning slash, deflecting the flying sword that shot towards him in mid-air.

But he ultimately couldn't stop the other top-grade flying sword that followed from Gu Jinlai.

"Laugh!"

His body was instantly pierced through, and at the moment of penetration, the powerful force slammed into him, sending his body flying backward for more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately closed his eyes powerlessly.

No one, Gu Jinlai or present, lingered on him.

What he wanted to say was not important.

He stepped forward and collected the Spirit Artifact from each of them.

Then, they walked towards Tianyinlou, which had already closed down.

He first found the martial arts master he had knocked away and seriously injured, and finished him off with a sword strike.

Then he arrived at the entrance of Tianyinlou and kicked it out.

The steel gate shuddered violently, the latches embedded in the wall came loose, and the entire gate collapsed into the Tianyin Building.

"Ah!"

A shrill, terrified scream came from inside, leaving Gu Jinlai speechless for a moment.

He's not here to rob a bank.

Because Gu Jinlai too quickly, the people of Tianyinlou didn't have time to escape completely.

After glancing around, Gu Jinlai's gaze quickly fell on a middle-aged man who stood up tremblingly, wanting to speak.

"Grown ups..."

"Call out!"

The sword light pierced the sky.

The middle-aged man's body was pierced directly by the spirit sword thrown by Gu Jinlai.

Sound...

It came to an abrupt end.

He was the only Red Name he could see.

After shooting the middle-aged man, the gaze of everyone, from Gu Jinlai, fell on a woman whose clothes were clearly much more luxurious than the others. "Who is the person in charge of Tianyin Tower?"

The woman's gaze, along with that of many others in the room, fell upon the middle-aged man he had just killed.

Gu Jinlai, they understood something.

"Okay, who is the second person in charge?"

He asked again.

"Sir... sir..."

At this moment, another overweight middle-aged man stepped forward timidly. "I... I am..."

"I'm here to help the Zhou family withdraw money. Here's the deposit slip book. Is there a problem?"

Gu Jinlai took out Zhou Ming's record book.

"No... no problem..."

The middle-aged man shuddered and quickly said, "However, we don't have that much silver here right now... I'm afraid we'll have to find it elsewhere..."

"A jewelry store couldn't even come up with two hundred million taels."

Gu Jinlai, people have looked at middle-aged men.

This man was only at the Qi Refining Realm, but based on his expertise in the Celestial Master Path, he could sense that the man was not speaking.

"How much silver do you have now?"

"Three... thirty-one million six hundred and ten thousand taels."

The middle-aged man said tremblingly, "The large denomination banknotes are about thirty million taels."

"Take it out."

Gu Jinlai, "Also, prepare enough money; we'll come back to collect it in ten days."

Yes, yes, yes.

The middle-aged man quickly responded.

Soon, the middle-aged man had taken thirty million taels from the treasury.

The Holy Dynasty had silver notes for large transactions, but it also had gold, silver coins, and other valuables.

"Remember, don't say I didn't give you a chance. You have ten days to raise the money."

Gu Jinlai that they will leave Tianyin Tower.

At this moment, outside Tianyin Tower, the city guards brought by Luo Zhenyu had not yet left, but their gazes toward Gu Jinlai were filled with fear and anger, yet they dared not step forward out of fear of his strength.

"Walk."

Gu Jinlai led Zhou Ming away from the scene.

After he left, an old man came out from the side, looking somewhat gloomy.

He looked in the direction Gu Jinlai left, and entered Tianyin Tower from another location.

"Lord Zhang... you... you've arrived..."

Inside the Heavenly Silver Pavilion, a True Person of Spirit Refining was already waiting anxiously.

Zhang Guangming, one of the four martial kings of the Zhang family.

Although he has only been a Martial King for a short time, he is of extremely high seniority. Even Zhang Chongshan, the number one expert in the Zhang family, who is said to have peak Martial King combat power, is his junior.

"A Martial King could never be some nobody. Investigate! Find out exactly where this guy came from."

Zhang Guangming said in a deep voice.

He had already arrived when he Gu Jinlai Silver Shop to withdraw his money.

However, upon seeing the corpses of two Primordial Spirit True Lord, including Luo Zhenyu, and three Martial Grandmasters, they dared not make any rash moves.

He already knew from the other people that the five had fought, and that Gu Jinlai had been defeated almost without paying a price.

This kind of strength...

It's probably not much inferior to a high-level Martial King.

Even if he shows up, he might not be able to do anything to the other party.

"According to the news from the Luo family... this person calls himself Gu Jinlai... He hasn't been in Fengyu City for long. Because he sees Fengyu City as the hope of humanity, he can't tolerate anything... He doesn't understand the meaning of flexibility at all. After learning about Zhou Ming's matter, he attacked the Luo family and killed more than twenty of the Luo family's experts. Then he came to our Tianyin Tower..."

This is the True Person Man of Spirit Refining.

"Gu Jinlai?"

Zhang Guangming pondered for a moment and quickly realized his identity.

This is indeed an outsider who has been in Fengyu City for less than two months and is currently studying at the Martial Saint Academy.

However, this person's actions...

They are indeed quite righteous and indignant.

While still in training, he joined the Purifiers team and became a Purifier. In just one month after becoming a Purifier, he hunted down several out-of-control individuals and cultists.

He was seriously injured not long ago due to the revenge of the demon cultists.

Later, due to some internal reasons, he was reportedly disliked by Lan Yuxian, the captain of their Purifier squad, who simply gave him a month-long leave.

Result...

He couldn't even stay for a month, and he came to the outer city to stir up trouble, and he still naively wanted to help those Zhou family members uphold justice?

"Foolish thing."

Zhang Guangming couldn't help but curse.

He was naturally aware of the Zhou family's affairs.

After all, it involves two hundred million taels of silver.

The Zhang family has deep roots in Fengyu City and owns many businesses, yet their annual income is only three or four hundred million.

This is also why they would risk letting the Luo family destroy the Zhou family.

I just didn't expect to provoke this whole Gu Jinlai.

"Just because you're at most a high-level Martial King, does that mean you're invincible?"

murderous intent flashed in Zhang Guangming's eyes.

However, the murderous intent in his eyes quickly subsided.

Gu Jinlai, he has not only possessed combat power approaching that of a high-ranking Martial King, but he is also a purger.

The Purifiers department has just been established, and the death of any Purifier will cause a huge reaction.

This can be seen from the fact that various squads are now frantically hunting down Shang Tielong, Ji Lie, and other cultists who recently killed the Purgers.

If the Zhang family really kills Gu Jinlai...

This will definitely attract a lot of attention to the Zhang family.

Given the ruthless methods the Zhang family has used to amass wealth over the years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to wipe them out completely.

Although the higher-ups in Fengyu City are unlikely to try the Zhang family for the sake of so-called justice and light, they cannot stop the Zhang family from accumulating considerable assets over the years.

Given sufficient justification, it's not impossible that some important figure might seize the opportunity to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangming sighed, "Looks like I need to find someone to talk to this Gu Jinlai. Consider the thirty million as a way to get rid of him. Hopefully, he'll learn to be content, otherwise..."

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

What about those who purge?

The Zhang family will not accept threats from any weakling.
