Chapter 1471 - 1468: Wu Guangzu’s Demonic Possession

Chapter 1471: Chapter 1468: Wu Guangzu’s Demonic Possession

Just like that, Chen Tianlong stayed at the Outer Border Camp and experienced a brief military life.

Wu Mengting, naturally, was also happy. Rather than running around the martial arts world, it was better to live quietly here. There was grass and horses here, and during their free time, the two of them would ride horses galloping together in the safe zone, watching the sunset!

Assassin Group on the waist.

Kuang Chenggong and Wu Guangzu had already been fiercely battling for a whole day and night, and both of their physical strength was nearly exhausted; the most miserable was Kuang Chenggong.

Earlier he had fought Chen Tianlong for so long, and now he encountered such a madman. Could you imagine the utter frustration?

Wu Guangzu was actually also extremely tired, but now, due to Demonic Possession, he was without normal consciousness, only knowing to keep fighting.

Kuang Chenggong had long noticed this point, but Wu Guangzu was indeed too fierce — he couldn’t find any opportunity to subdue him and could only keep fighting back.

At this moment, suddenly Wu Guangzu’s head ached intensely. After landing, he clutched his head with both hands, his expression extremely painful.

At this time, Kuang Chenggong was also exhausted, so he took the chance to escape this madman’s pursuit with Sword Control.

After struggling for a moment, Wu Guangzu gradually recovered, but he was more delirious, appearing to be increasingly deeply possessed.

Suddenly he raised his head and opened his eyes, and at this time they were blood-red and terrifying. Seeing no one around, he picked up the Blood Shadow Saber and rushed down the mountain.

After Wu Guangzu descended the mountain, he kept heading towards the town, encountering a small town along the way — a bustling little market leading to the Capital City. Amidst the bustling crowd, Wu Guangzu felt dizzy and saw the thronging masses, feeling utterly lonely.

"Hey! Where did this madman come from? Get out of the way, don’t disturb our business."

The shop owners in the street, seeing such a messy-haired and dirty person, mistook him for a beggar.

Wu Guangzu heard the words, glared at him, and continued walking forward. Suddenly, he bumped into someone — a burly man, seemingly the local bully.

The burly man, bumped into by Wu Guangzu, instantly cursed, "Damn it, which blind fool dares to bump me? Come over and kowtow in apology."

But the next moment, the burly man saw a disheveled person holding a saber, eyes unfocused, who continued walking on. The man got angry and punched out, only to find his hand clamped in an iron grip, a heart-wrenching pain enveloping his entire body.

"Ow!"

With a shout, about a dozen thugs not far away hurried over.

"Boss, what happened?" the lackeys immediately asked.

"Beat him! Kill this brat."

The burly man was both pained and furious from the grip.

As soon as the burly man spoke, the dozen people surrounded him, raising their fists to strike, but in the next moment, Wu Guangzu suddenly appeared outside their attack range, and after a few seconds, they all fell to the ground.

Each of them had a slash on their necks, evidently dead. The burly man was shocked and quickly fled. Wu Guangzu, expressionless, continued to walk forward.

About ten minutes later, suddenly a squad of soldiers chased from behind, clearly local authorities; for someone had surely reported the incident. This team consisted of seventy to eighty people; normally a general case wouldn’t involve so much manpower, but the informant said the person was a skilled fighter.

Thus, all members of the local police station were mobilized. At this time, Wu Guangzu was heavily surrounded, everyone holding iron rods, acting arrogantly.

"Bold ruffian, surrender immediately, attack!" With the captain’s order, everyone rushed forward. But as they reached Wu Guangzu, he raised his head, eyes blood-red, viewing everyone around him as demons.

He wielded the Blood Shadow Saber, spinning and rising, and people on the ground were struck down by his powerful Sword Qi. The soldiers surged forth again, and Wu Guangzu was now furious; as soon as he landed, with a flicker like the wind, he slaughtered everyone present.

In an instant, all the people fell to the ground, blood streaming endlessly.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Wu Guangzu leaped into the night and vanished. Within days, hundreds of murder cases emerged in the Capital City; the killer vanished without a trace, extremely formidable.

This news quickly reached Kuang Chenggong’s ears. After a wicked smirk, he immediately summoned Kuang Shengtian and Hao Shuai.

Soon, the two hurried over, not knowing the reason for Kuang Chenggong’s urgent summons, but surely it was important.

"Shengtian, Yun Fei, I have a mission for you,"

said Kuang Chenggong with a slight smile on his lips.

"Father, what mission? Tell us."

Kuang Shengtian did not care much; in his view, no task was impossible to complete.

"Hahaha, strictly speaking, it’s about staging a show and setting a trap."

Kuang Chenggong said with a wicked smile.

"Hehe, Father, how does this act play out? Tell me."

Kuang Shengtian said with a bit of curiosity.

"Shengtian, you are unaware that the killer causing turmoil in Capital City is none other than Wu Guangzu, the new Sect Leader of the Assassin Group. Once this news spreads, what do you think the Martial Arts comrades will do? They will definitely unite to hunt down Wu Guangzu. Then, if you two interfere and lure Chen Tianlong to rescue Wu Guangzu, what do you think will happen to the demonically possessed Wu Guangzu?"

Kuang Chenggong stopped talking here, knowing Kuang Shengtian was smart enough to understand his intention.

"Father, are you saying that they will fight, and we will reap the benefits? But, I have a question: how can I control Wu Guangzu against Chen Tianlong? If he turns against us, wouldn’t it be worse?" Kuang Shengtian shifted his tone, expressing some concern.

"Haha, there is no need to worry about that. As long as you can capture Wu Guangzu, I have implanted the Heart-Eroding Gu in him, and he will be under my control." Kuang Chenggong said indifferently.

"Heart-Eroding Gu? Father, you actually possess such a remarkable Gu; that’s wonderful."

Kuang Shengtian was evidently very happy hearing this, as he had heard about the might of the Heart-Eroding Gu. No matter how strong one’s will, once afflicted by the Gu, one would essentially be controlled, and it seemed Wu Guangzu was no exception.

"Yes, I brought it back from the Western Regions years ago, and it seems it’s finally time to use it." With that said, Kuang Chenggong smiled and left.

After Kuang Chenggong left, Kuang Shengtian and Hao Shuai discussed how to notify Chen Tianlong, while organizing Martial Arts people to deal with the demonically possessed Wu Guangzu.

Thus, the two decided on a division of labor: Hao Shuai would spread rumors within the Martial Arts world, while Kuang Shengtian would head to the Outer Border to find a chance to inform Chen Tianlong about Wu Guangzu being surrounded.

Once their roles were set, they began to take action.

Hao Shuai rushed to the courtyard of Li Wanchong to inform Master Xianyun of the matter. Upon hearing this, the Daoist felt Wu Guangzu had gone mad and had killed many civilians. Ultimately, he decided to gather the major sects to capture Wu Guangzu to prevent further harm.

Within two days, under the leadership of Master Xianyun, the Huashan Sect Leader Yue Qiong, the Wudang Sect Leader Zhang Feng, Emei Sect’s Master Mie Wo, and Xing Mountain Sect’s Daoist Chen Dong led their elite disciples to Capital City to discuss how to capture the possessed Wu Guangzu.

Hao Shuai became their leader, as he currently held the highest martial arts skill among them.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, this assembly’s main purpose is to deal with one issue: the Sect Leader of the Assassin Group has fallen into demonic possession during martial arts practice, and we must capture him to stabilize the situation, or who knows how many civilians will perish at his hands."

When Hao Shuai spoke these words, he appeared very sorrowful, truly a master at acting.

"Yes, yes, we must act quickly, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Upon learning that Wu Guangzu had reached the Great Perfection Limit of Celestial Dao Seven Stars, everyone felt very fearful, as none among them had strength surpassing Great Perfection.

Nonetheless, Hao Shuai counted as the elite among them.

"Alright, given this, let’s craft a plan. Tonight, we begin; once we discover Wu Guangzu, the demonic entity, we will use chains to capture him and require your assistance."

Hao Shuai expressed his plan.

"I agree. Wu Guangzu is so powerful, a direct confrontation would lead to dire consequences." Master Xianyun said.

"Hmm, that’s good, but Wu Guangzu belongs to the Assassin Group, isn’t it improper to do this? After all, Chen Tianlong is our prospective Alliance Leader; if he knows we treated his Third Senior Brother this way, won’t he....."

Master Mie Wo of the Emei Sect felt some compassion, thinking the Assassin Group was a reputable sect and Wu Guangzu was only temporarily possessed, the details of which were unknown to them.

"Hey! There’s no need to worry; I believe Chen Tianlong is a person who understands the greater good. If he sees Wu Guangzu in this state, he will surely uphold justice, and beyond capturing Wu Guangzu, we need not be concerned." Hao Shuai began to sway them.

"But....."

Out of friendship with Chen Tianlong, Master Mie Wo wanted to help Wu Guangzu out of trouble, but swayed by Hao Shuai and others, she could not, so her words hesitated.

"No more ’but.’ Let’s proceed as planned; does anyone else have opinions?" Hao Shuai, unwilling to further argue with Master Mie Wo, the old nun, shouted loudly.

"We will follow Young Master Xu’s command; we only wish to offer a humble effort for the civilians, and we won’t concern ourselves with other matters."

Previously an ally of Hao Shuai, Master Xianyun spoke in favor, thinking this was no misdoing, considering Wu Guangzu had turned into a murderous demon, and perhaps one day he would randomly be killed.

Others, seeing the respected Master Xianyun voicing support, had no objections, thus collectively agreed. After making all arrangements, they ate dinner and divided into groups to inquire about Wu Guangzu’s whereabouts.
