Chapter 34 Divine Investigator

“Young Master.” At this moment Jia Hu stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Jia Fu.

Jia Fu’s eyes lit up.

He quickly reached out to stop Jia Hu from bowing any further and personally helped him up, putting on the appearance of someone who valued capable and talented people above all else.

Jia Fu had long intended to recruit Jia Hu.

Both Jia Hu and Jia Long were among the Jia family’s rare talents.

If he could bring the two of them under his command, his grand plan would be one step closer to success.

After exchanging a few polite words with the Jia family’s Gu Masters, Jia Fu clapped his hands.

A group of beautiful young women stepped forward and greeted everyone with warm smiles.

“You must be exhausted after such a long journey.

Please come into the mountain stronghold.

A banquet has already been prepared.

Please allow me to show my gratitude for your hard work.”

The caravan’s vice leaders were delighted.

The trip had been filled with danger, and several times they had nearly lost their lives.

Now that they had finally reached Jia Village, they naturally wanted to relax and enjoy themselves.

Lin Feng had no intention of joining them.

Instead, he sent several Zhang family Gu Masters in his place.

He knew exactly what Jia Fu was after.

This banquet was nothing more than a way to win people over and strengthen his position in the upcoming election for the clan leader.

As Lin Feng turned to leave.

“Wait!

Wait for me!”

Lin Feng turned around and saw Tie Yuning hurrying after him, slightly out of breath.

He hadn’t expected her to follow him again.

“You?”

“I don’t want to go back to the Tie family just yet.

I want to look around Jia Village.

You’re the only person I know in the caravan.

You wouldn’t just leave me behind, would you?”

“What, are you planning to stick to me now?

Since when does a young lady of the great Tie family act like a street rogue?”

Tie Yuning smiled slyly.

“Who knows?

Maybe you’re hiding some secret.

That just gives me even more reason not to let you out of my sight.”

Just then, a Gu Master walked over.

He stood tall and straight, as steady as a mountain and as deep as an unfathomable abyss.

The most eye-catching feature was the ancient bronze mask covering his face.

The mask bore the marks of countless years and gave off an ancient aura.

Three openings revealed only his eyes and lips.

His eyes were weathered by time, yet they remained calm, dignified, and upright.

His tightly pressed lips, as sharp as if carved with a blade, spoke of a man with unshakable resolve.

Although the mask hid most of his face, it could not conceal the gray hair at his temples, betraying his age.

“Huh?

Uncle, what are you doing here?” Tie Yuning exclaimed in surprise.

She had been talking to Lin Feng and hadn’t noticed him approaching.

Lin Feng’s heart sank.

Although the Gu Master had concealed his aura, the purple square token hanging from his belt immediately caught his attention.

The square token was a symbol of a Gu Master’s status and represented their cultivation.

Rank One Gu Masters wore bronze tokens, Rank Two wore red iron, Rank Three wore silver, Rank Four wore gold, and Rank Five wore purple.

Earlier, Jia Fu had worn a gold token at his waist, while Lin Feng himself wore a silver one.

The purple token on this man’s belt could mean only one thing.

He was a Rank Five Gu Master.

The realization made Lin Feng subconsciously take half a step back.

The middle-aged Gu Master stood before him like an immovable mountain.

Even with his aura completely restrained, the invisible pressure he exuded made the surrounding air seem heavy.

It’s him…

It really is him…From the man’s attire and the way Tie Yuning addressed him, Lin Feng instantly recognized his identity.

His heart couldn’t help but tremble.

He was the first truly invincible opponent Fang Yuan had encountered after his rebirth.

Had it not been for the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus Gu awakening the long-slumbering Gu Yue Ancestor and forcing both sides into a desperate battle that ended in his defeat, Our Great Love Immortal Venerable might truly have perished in the beginner village of Qing Mao Mountain.

The man who had once pushed Fang Yuan to the brink of despair was none other than Tie Xue Leng.

A Rank Five Gu Master.

The Iron-Blooded Divine Investigator of Southern Border.

A man who upheld the law, solved cases with uncanny precision, and was recognized as the greatest hunter of criminals in the region.

His cultivation had already reached the Upper Stage of Rank Five.

More importantly, he was the younger brother of the Tie family’s current clan leader.

As one of the righteous path’s super clans, the Tie family regarded him as one of its two greatest pillars, a man whose status was second only to the clan leader himself.
