Jiang Ying frowned slightly. "What's he doing here?"
Gu He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time." At that moment, a voice came from outside the main hall.
Gu He and Jiang Ying looked up at the outside of the main hall at the same time, and saw Wang Hui leading the Wang Household's senior members into the hall.
Gu He glanced at the Wang Clan elders behind Wang Hui. "It has been quite a while. I wonder what brings Wang Clan to my Ethereal Sect with so many people?"
Wang Hui's face was grim. " Xiao Heng is dead."
Upon hearing this, Gu He and Jiang Yao's expressions immediately turned serious.
Jiang Ying suddenly exclaimed, " Wang Heng is dead? What happened!"
Her tone was slightly anxious and worried. After all, Gu Xun'er was with Wang Heng. If Wang Heng died, what about Gu Xun'er? So she was very worried at the moment.
Gu He's heart also grew heavy.
Wang Hui clenched his fists and then recounted what he knew.
After a long while, after listening to Wang Hui's words, Jiang Ying's face gradually turned pale, and her legs felt weak, as if she would collapse to the ground at any moment.
Seeing this, Gu He quickly got up, then helped Jiang Ying up and made her sit in a chair.
Gu He looked at Jiang Ying and comforted her, "It's alright, Xun'er will definitely be fine, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying angrily retorted, "Nothing happened? Don't you know what you're saying? Xun'er was with Wang Heng. If Wang Heng is in trouble, does that mean Xun'er won't be in trouble too?"
Gu He's face was grim as he said, " Xun'er has a fragment of my divine soul within her!"
Jiang Ying chuckled, "A soul? Is that useful? Did Wang Heng have Divine Soul Mark in his body? He did, right? But he still died!"
As she finished speaking, tears suddenly welled up in the corners of her eyes. "If anything happens to Xun'er, I'll never forgive you!"
Gu He clenched his fists, his heart heavy with sorrow. Xun'er was his only daughter; how could he not worry?
The Wang Clan then asked, "Sect Master Gu, has Xun'er's soul lamp been extinguished?"
Upon hearing this, Gu He snapped back to his senses, then opened his right palm, revealing a soul lamp in his palm. The soul lamp was burning with a blazing soul fire, showing no sign of going out.
Seeing the soul lamp, Gu He's face lit up with joy, and he quickly looked at Jiang Ying, " Xun'er's soul lamp hasn't gone out, she's alright!"
Jiang Ying looked up at the Soul Lamp, tears of joy streaming down her face, and exclaimed, "That's good! That's good! Let's go to the secret realm now!"
Gu He shook his head and said, "We can't get in!"
Jiang Ying asked, "Why!"
Gu He explained, "I received information that only people under five hundred years old can enter that secret realm. We are already thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, how can we get in?"
After listening, Jiang Ying asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?"
Gu He said in a deep voice, "We can only wait until she comes out."
Jiang Ying clenched her fists so tightly that her sharp nails dug into her flesh, and blood trickled down her fingers onto the ground.
Seeing this, Gu He was heartbroken and quickly hugged Jiang Ying, comforting her, "It's alright, Xun'er will be fine."
Jiang Ying said in a trembling voice, "Mmm..."
Gu He gently stroked Jiang Ying's back, then turned to look at Wang Hui, "So Wang Clan came to find me..."
Wang Hui suddenly said, "I just want to make sure Gu Xun'er is alright. If she is, I hope that after she comes out, she can tell me what exactly happened in the secret realm and how Wang Heng died."
After listening, Gu He nodded. "Okay, let's go outside the secret realm and wait there."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly surged forth from the entire Ethereal Sect.
Everyone in the hall frowned.
Wang Hui said, "Isn't this the aura of that old guy from the Purple Mansion Holy Land? What's he doing here?"
Gu He frowned deeply. "Go outside and take a look."
With that, he took Jiang Ying's hand and disappeared from the spot.
A glint of light flashed in Wang Hui's eyes, then he vanished.
Gu He and the others appeared in the void, while on the opposite side, Elder Bai was looking at them with an icy expression.
Gu He looked at Elder Bai and asked in confusion, " Elder Bai, what are you doing?"
"Snort!"
Elder Bai sneered, "Your good daughter conspired with others to kill my Holy Son, so what do you think I'm here for?"
Upon hearing this, Gu He and Jiang Yao's expressions turned serious.
Gu He, " Elder Bai, don't talk nonsense. How could my daughter possibly conspire with others to kill your Holy Land's Holy Son?"
Elder Bai retorted angrily, "Would I lie to you?"
Seeing the almost enraged Elder Bai, Gu He frowned and transmitted his voice to Jiang Ying beside him, "This old guy doesn't seem to be lying. Xun'er wouldn't have really killed the Holy Son of the Holy Land, would she?"
Jiang Ying replied coldly, "So what if he's killed? Anyway, the Holy Son of the Purple Mansion Holy Land isn't a good person!"
Gu He's lips twitched. He stopped talking to Jiang Ying and looked at Elder Bai. " Elder Bai, do you have any evidence?"
"I..."
Elder Bai was about to speak, but the words caught in his throat.
evidence?
Where did he get his evidence?
Gu He said this because she definitely didn't want to admit that her daughter had conspired with others to kill Yifeng.
Gu He suddenly said, "If there is no evidence, Elder Bai, please leave."
Veins bulged on Elder Bai's forehead, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
Gu He raised an eyebrow. "What? You want to fight?"
"Snort!"
Elder Bai snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Gu He's strength is about the same as his, and since Gu He doesn't want to admit it, there's nothing he can do. So now he can only go outside that secret realm and wait for Lin Fan to come out.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Elder Bai turned around, Wang Hui suddenly called out to him.
Elder Bai paused, then turned to look at Wang Hui.
Gu He also looked at Wang Hui at this moment, his eyes filled with doubt.
Wang Hui took a deep breath and then said, " Elder Bai, you're saying that Gu Xun'er conspired with others to kill your Holy Land's Holy Son?"
Elder Bai nodded expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Wang Hui narrowed his eyes. "With whom?"
Elder Bai frowned. "What do you need to know all this for?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hui's face immediately darkened, and then he recounted Wang Heng's death.
After hearing Wang Hui's words, a glint of light flashed in Elder Bai's eyes, and he said, "I suspect that your son's death is inextricably linked to the person who killed my sect's Holy Son!"
Wang Hui's face was ashen, and his eyes blazed with anger.
Elder Bai suddenly said, "Why don't we join forces? I have a feeling this matter isn't as simple as it seems."
Wang Hui was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay!"
Gu He then said, "You two..."
Elder Bai looked at Gu He, "After Gu Xun'er comes out, you take her away, and then you don't need to worry about anything else."
Upon hearing this, Gu He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mm."
Wang Hui said, "Let's go, wait outside the secret realm."
Everyone nodded and then disappeared, leaving only Gu He and Jiang Ying behind.
