The Meng Clan's Price

"Brother Gu, with your words, I am relieved!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Tianxiang finally smiled.

However, she still reminded her:

"Brother Gu, we'll leave that brat Xiao Xuan to our Meng Clan to handle this matter ourselves!"

"If that mysterious masked man really shows himself, then I'll have to trouble Brother Gu to personally capture him!"

At this point, a flash of resentment suddenly appeared in Chao Tianxiang's eyes.

"However, I have one more request!"

"If possible, Brother Gu, please spare his life!"

"Meng Shu died such a tragic death, I absolutely cannot let that fellow die so easily!"

"I'm going to take him back to the Meng Clan and torture him myself, making him wish he were dead!"

By the end, Chao Tianxiang was practically gritting her teeth, and the veins on her hand gripping the snake-head cane were bulging.

Gu Qianshan didn't seem to care when he heard this, and simply waved his hand.

"Rest assured!"

"Since I've promised you, I'll naturally help you get things done!"

"If that person dares to show himself, I will capture him alive and hand him over to you to deal with personally!"

Gu Qianshan spoke with great confidence.

However, although he appeared calm and collected on the surface, he had already started to make other plans in his heart.

It's important to understand that his willingness to intervene this time wasn't solely due to his relationship with Chao Tianxiang.

More importantly, there was the reward that Chao Tianxiang had promised him!

To persuade this peak Soul Saint of level 79, Chao Tianxiang really went all out this time!

The two sides had already made an agreement.

If Gu Qianshan can help the Meng Clan capture that mysterious masked man, Chao Tianxiang will give him all the valuable information the Meng Clan has accumulated over the years in the Star Dou Great Forest, including maps of Soul Beast distribution and Soul Hunting routes!

In addition, there are several pieces of Thousand-Year Soul Bone as a reward!

Such generous terms were tempting even to Gu Qianshan, a peak Soul Saint.

Especially those maps showing the distribution of Soul Beast!

It should be noted that the Meng Clan has frequently entered and exited the Star Dou Great Forest over the years, and they are very familiar with the distribution of Soul Beast in many areas of the forest.

These materials were obtained by the Meng Clan after years of expending a great deal of manpower and resources.

Its value is far beyond what ordinary money can measure!

Not to mention, there are also several priceless Thousand-Year Soul Bone!

Thinking of this, Gu Qianshan felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

However, there's one prerequisite for obtaining these things.

That means the mysterious masked man must show himself!

Otherwise, even if the Meng Clan successfully captures Xiao Xuan, he can forget about getting these rewards.

'Snort!'

'I really hope that guy shows up today!'

'Otherwise, wouldn't that be a complete waste of my time?'

Gu Qianshan sneered inwardly.

As for whether he could defeat the mysterious masked man, he wasn't too worried.

After all, he was a peak Soul Saint at level 79!

Furthermore, with Chao Tianxiang and so many experts from the Meng Clan present, the situation was even more dire.

He was confident he could take that guy down as long as he dared to show himself!

At that time, the precious information on the Meng Clan's Soul Beast, as well as several Thousand-Year Soul Bone, will naturally become his possessions!

Thinking of this, Gu Qianshan couldn't help but smile.

They were even starting to get impatient to see that mysterious masked man!

At this moment, Chao Tianxiang was naturally unaware of Gu Qianshan's plans.

Hearing the other party's assurance, she finally felt relieved.

In fact, she hoped the mysterious masked man would show himself more than she hoped to capture Xiao Xuan!

After all, the one who truly killed Meng Shu was that mysterious masked man!

Whenever she thought of her husband's tragic death, Chao Tianxiang felt an overwhelming hatred in her heart.

She wanted nothing more than to grab that guy right now and tear him to pieces!

Only by making the other party suffer greatly can her anger be calmed down a little!

As for Xiao Xuan...

With Gu Qianshan, a peak Soul Saint, in charge, plus all the elites of the Meng Clan, she refused to believe that they couldn't defeat a mere Xiao Xuan!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Chao Tianxiang's eyes.

"Alright, everyone, perk up!"

"According to the scouts, Xiao Xuan should be arriving soon!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran and Gu Qianshan stopped talking and turned their gazes forward.

at the same time.

The Meng Clan family experts, hidden on both sides of the road, were already prepared.

The five Soul King were stationed in different locations, while the twelve Soul Ancestor were scattered throughout the dense forest, blocking any possible escape routes.

With Chao Tianxiang and Gu Qianshan in the center, the entire forest path was practically completely blocked.

This lineup has practically exhausted all the resources the Meng Clan can currently mobilize!

Tonight, their first opponent is merely a Soul Ancestor at level 40!

Time passed little by little.

Before we knew it, the sun had gradually set in the west.

The light in the woods dimmed as well.

Just then!

A Meng Clan Soul Master on guard suddenly rushed over.

"Madam!"

"They're here!"

"Xiao Xuan is here!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Tianxiang perked up.

Where?

"It's just ahead! Less than a hundred meters away!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Tianxiang immediately raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Gu Qianshan slowly wiped the smile off his face and turned his gaze forward.

However, compared to Xiao Xuan who was about to appear, he was clearly more concerned about the mysterious masked man at the moment.

After all, whether he could get those generous rewards tonight depended entirely on whether that guy would show up!

Meng Yiran, who was standing to the side, subconsciously held her breath.

soon.

With a soft sound of footsteps, a young figure finally came into view.

On a forest path not far away, a young man dressed in blue was walking slowly toward them.

The boy had delicate features, a relaxed expression, and even a faint smile on his lips.

He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Who else could it be but Xiao Xuan?

As the figure drew ever closer, a chilling glint flashed in Chao Tianxiang's eyes.

The hand gripping the snake-head cane slowly tightened at that moment.

On a forest path.

Xiao Xuan continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.

However, just as he was about to cross a fork in the road, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding dense forest.

Immediately afterwards!

One by one, figures emerged from the woods on both sides of the road.

In a short while, more than a dozen Soul Master appeared and blocked all of Xiao Xuan's escape routes in all directions!

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan paused slightly.

However, he didn't seem particularly surprised.

In fact, he had already sensed that someone was secretly watching him several days earlier.

However, since those people didn't do anything drastic, he didn't bother with them.

Unexpectedly, they showed up today on their own initiative, and with such a grand display!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan frowned slightly.

What exactly are these guys trying to do?

Just as he was wondering to himself...

The crowd in front suddenly parted to both sides.

Immediately afterwards, two figures slowly walked out.

The person in the lead was an old woman, dressed in luxurious robes, and holding a cane with a snake's head in her hand.

Beside her was a beautiful young woman.

Upon seeing the two people, Xiao Xuan was taken aback.

' Chao Tianxiang '?

The moment Xiao Xuan recognized the other party's identity, he immediately had some guesses in his mind.

However, he didn't show it; he simply stood quietly, waiting for the other person to speak.
