You're Here! Discussing Rewards

"Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with my people, which was why you knew about this place?"

Gu Han walked up to Mo Qing and questioned him coldly, clearly displeased.

"What nonsense. People from the Mo Family discovered this place long ago. It has nothing to do with you."

A hint of smugness appeared in Mo Qing's eyes, but he did not admit it.

The worse Gu Han's expression looked, the more thoroughly he had been frustrated, and the better Mo Qing felt.

Some things could be done, but not said. Otherwise, it would break the rules.

He simply wanted Gu Han to feel miserable.

"You think I'll believe you?" Gu Han suppressed his anger and grabbed Mo Qing by the collar with one hand.

"Senior Gu, calm down." Mo Qing felt even more delighted and said in an extremely provocative tone, "Don't make wild accusations without evidence."

"Although you didn't earn any merit this time and won't receive the sect's rewards, there will always be a next time."

His behavior was downright begging for a beating.

Mo Qing was certain Gu Han would not dare do anything to him, so he deliberately provoked him.

But in the next instant, his expression turned incredulous. His eyes widened as he slowly lowered his head.

Gu Han's fingers, their surface glowing blue, had pierced through his body and stabbed into his heart.

"You... how..." Coldness spread from his heart through his limbs and bones. Feeling his life force draining away, Mo Qing grabbed Gu Han's hand and struggled to speak. "You dare!?"

Misty Cloud Sect members could arrive here at any moment, while the Mo Family's Dou Master and Da Dou Shi were right across from them in House 73.

Gu Han actually dared to kill him. Was he not afraid of death!?

But clearly, he would never receive an answer in this lifetime.

With a casual wave, Gu Han stored Mo Qing's corpse inside the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

With such a portable space that outsiders could not detect, killing and looting had become far too easy. He was not afraid at all.

"There's still enough time."

Gu Han took out his nightwear from his Storage Ring and put it back on. After entering Room 74, he left through the back door, then circled around to the rear entrance of Courtyard 73. Once inside, he saw someone lying on the ground—the Mo Family's Dou Master.

Checking her breathing, he found that she was still alive, though judging by her complexion, she would not last much longer.

A thought flashed through Gu Han's mind. He immediately removed his black robe and stored it in the secret realm, then used the Mysterious Yin Finger to tap the Mo Family Dou Master's heart meridian, temporarily preventing the poison from spreading and endangering her life.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Gu Han patted the Mo Family Dou Master's face. She was a woman.

"My... my name is Mo Ziyuan." Mo Ziyuan struggled to open her eyes. Upon seeing Gu Han's attire clearly, she immediately said, "I'm an Inner Sect Disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect."

"The person who attacked me was Kalon, Inner Sect Disciple Kalon!"

"I understand. Don't get agitated yet. There may still be hope." Gu Han carried Mo Ziyuan on his back and headed toward the front courtyard.

Zhang Chuchen unleashed Extreme Wind Setting Sun Radiance. The formidable wind pressure sealed off part of the airspace. Although the Golden Goose Sect's Da Dou Shi possessed a Flying Fighting Skill, he could only use Dou Techniques to defend himself.

He had already expended considerable Dou Qi and energy while dealing with one Da Dou Shi and two Dou Masters earlier. Now, facing an opponent stronger than himself, he inevitably fell into a disadvantage and was wounded by Sword Qi.

However, using the recoil, the Golden Goose Sect Da Dou Shi successfully widened the distance between himself and Zhang Chuchen, controlling his Wings as he flew toward the sky.

"Zhang Chuchen, we'll meet again." The Golden Goose Sect Da Dou Shi clutched his chest and spat out a threat.

But in the next instant, he felt a powerful pressure descend upon him. The circulation of Dou Qi within his body became exceedingly difficult. Without sufficient Dou Qi to sustain them, the Wings behind his back vanished at once.

He fell downward and smashed a huge crater into the front courtyard.

"Cough, cough!"

The Golden Goose Sect Da Dou Shi clutched his chest and coughed up blood. When he raised his head, he saw Zhang Chuchen holding a longsword against his throat.

When Gu Han arrived at the front courtyard with Mo Ziyuan on his back, he happened to see this scene, along with Yun Yun and several Misty Cloud Sect Dou King Elders descending.

"What has happened here?" Great Elder Yun Leng asked.

"Reporting to the Great Elder." Mo Xuanqing immediately clasped his fists and reported, "Mo Qing, an Outer Disciple of my Mo Family, discovered an Inner Sect Disciple acting suspiciously within the sect. He had the Mo Family keep watch in town and unexpectedly discovered that this Inner Sect Disciple frequently entered and left this place. Finding it suspicious, he investigated."

"After confirming it, he intended to capture the man, but never expected the other party to be a Da Dou Shi, while that Inner Sect Disciple was a spy."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun and the others all became grave.

An Inner Sect Disciple was only one step away from becoming a Core Disciple and could access much of the sect's information. The fact that he had been a spy planted by an enemy force was no small matter.

"Who is that Inner Sect Disciple?" Yun Leng asked, his voice cold and filled with killing intent.

An embarrassed expression appeared on Mo Xuanqing's face.

He only knew that the spy was an Inner Sect Disciple. He truly did not know his name.

"Kalon." Gu Han answered, "That spy is Inner Sect Disciple Kalon. He also joined the Message Hall."

A spy actually worked in the Message Hall?

Yun Leng and the others' expressions became even more striking.

"Who are you?" Yun Leng's sharp gaze fell upon Gu Han.

"Outer Disciple Gu Han, greetings, Great Elder." Gu Han set Mo Ziyuan down and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You're Gu Han?" Yun Leng and the other Dou King Elders could not help taking a few extra looks at Gu Han.

They had naturally heard of the sect's newly risen genius, who had won Sect Leader Yun Yun's favor.

If Gu Han had not been an Ice Attribute Dou Qi Cultivator, an Elder would have long since extended an invitation to him.

"How did you know the spy was Kalon?" Yun Leng asked.

"Great Elder, it was... it was this disciple who told him." Mo Ziyuan clutched her chest as green blood spilled from her mouth. "This disciple... pursued Kalon to the back courtyard, where he used... used a Poison Pill to injure me. He has already... already fled."

"It was this junior brother who allowed this disciple to retain one last breath."

"The spy is Kalon!"

After speaking her final words, Mo Ziyuan seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She spat out blood, her head tilted to one side, and she completely stopped breathing.

"Hahaha." Yan Kuang, the Golden Goose Sect Da Dou Shi, threw back his head and laughed madly. "She was hit by a Fourth-Grade Poison Pill our Golden Goose Sect purchased from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate of the Chuyun Empire. Even a Dou Ling would die, let alone a mere Dou Master."

"Behave yourself." Zhang Chuchen moved his longsword, leaving a bloody mark on Yan Kuang's neck.

"To die at the hands of the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, my death is not unjust." Yan Kuang gave a strange laugh and suddenly made a biting motion.

Zhang Chuchen inwardly cursed. He immediately grabbed Yan Kuang's jaw and crushed it.

But he was still a step too late. Yan Kuang had already swallowed the poison hidden in his teeth.

"Hehehe." Yan Kuang's breathing became rapid. His head tilted to one side, and he died.

"Damn it." Zhang Chuchen's expression turned ugly. He clasped his fists toward Yun Yun. "Sect Leader, this disciple was careless and allowed him to take poison and kill himself. Please punish me."

"There is no need to blame yourself." Yun Yun lightly waved a hand to show it was nothing. "If he was determined to die, he could have shattered his own heart meridian. Even if This Sect Master had acted, it would have been too late to stop him."

"You have slain the Da Dou Shi the Golden Goose Sect planted in Yunlan Town and uncovered the spy the Golden Goose Sect had hidden within the sect. You have all rendered merit."

With that, Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng.

"Great Elder, what do you think?"
