Chapter 1459 - 1454: Inquiry (Part 1)

"Think about it!"

"From our intel, Lin Xi isn’t someone who avoids confrontation!"

"On the contrary, he’s not afraid of us at all!"

"Now all his women have been taken by Gu Long, which means Lin Xi is probably not in Chuzhou City right now!"

It was suggested by one of them.

Not sure if it’s accurate, but that’s the speculation.

Xiong Ba, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly nodded, "I think you’re quite right."

"He’s back here probably waiting for Lin Xi."

"In other words, he currently can’t contact Lin Xi."

"The first place Lin Xi will return to is definitely here."

Hearing this, the others’ eyes lit up.

It’s indeed a big possibility.

Initially, they followed to track down Lin Xi’s group of women through Gu Long.

Unexpectedly, Gu Long returned here.

And remained motionless, as if he’s waiting.

"This is truly a pleasant surprise!"

"If Lin Xi shows up, we won’t have to trouble his women."

"It’s not good if word spreads about this."

The seven prestigious families have reputable figures.

Bullying a few weak women would ruin our reputation in Huaxia or even worldwide.

If they couldn’t find Lin Xi, they were forced into a corner to trouble those close to him.

To force Lin Xi to emerge.

Medicinal pills and rare earthly treasures are still of utmost importance.

Not far away, Gu Long, being a cautious person, hadn’t expected to be followed.

He didn’t notice at all right now.

If he did, he’d leave immediately.

Or, he’d head straight to the airport.

Lead those following him to the airport.

The Dragon King would arrive in less than two hours.

By then, there’d be a good show to watch.

Would the seven prestigious families’ people still be so arrogant then?

The Dragon King is moving!

Truth be told, the seven families never expected this.

The Dragon King hasn’t moved for years, not even for major events.

In the capital, many elements force him to stay put.

If he leaves, many irrecoverable things might happen.

What’s really going on?

Even Gu Long doesn’t have much clarity on this.

Lin Xi, on his way back, realized his phone had run out of battery at some point.

He wasn’t moving as fast as he did at night.

If someone captured him on camera, it would cause a sensation.

Would the ten prestigious families show up?

Right after he left?

He thought the chance was low.

It wouldn’t be that coincidental!

It took him over four hours in total to return to Chuzhou City.

When he came, it took less than three hours.

Today is Tuesday.

The entire morning is filled with classes.

Logically, he should head straight to school for his classes.

After all, learning brings joy!

But he sweated a lot on the way and during his stay in the Secret Realm.

Go back!

Take a shower.

And check on his home situation.

But as he approached the villa area, his expression changed.

He sensed seven strong presences along with Gu Long’s presence.

"Did the ten prestigious families come?" Thinking about this, he felt a bit nervous inside.

Not out of fear.

But concern for Bai Bing and the others in case anything happened.

Since there were four mid-Innate and three early-Innate.

This could confront Bai Bing and the others.

But if Bai Bing and the others were determined to escape, they could still get away.

Then he thought again.

Judging by the current situation, Bai Bing and the others should be fine.

If something happened, it wouldn’t be like this.

He gathered his aura immediately.

No matter the situation, he needed to confirm with Gu Long now.

If Gu Long’s here, he must know the specifics.

Without bothering about being discovered, he walked straight towards Gu Long.

Not hiding his aura nor his movements.

Walking as an ordinary person would.

Having advanced to mid-Innate, he didn’t regard these people at all.

At the same level!

Invincible!

That’s not just empty words.

Ten meters away!

Gu Long was startled.

Lin Xi’s here?

He sensed the aura.

Turning around calmly, indeed, it was Lin Xi.

Before he could speak, Lin Xi said first, "What are you doing here?"

"Are they okay?"

Gu Long knew what Lin Xi was asking about and shook his head, "They’re fine."

"I’ve moved them all out."

"Oh, it’s Zhu Ying and Gu Xiaoxian; I don’t know where Bai Bing and the others went?"

"What I’m sure of is, they’re all fine."

"Where did you go?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi’s bit of worry dissipated immediately.

By then, he had approached and patted Gu Long’s shoulder, "I have to thank you this time!"

"Otherwise, things could’ve really gone wrong."

He gathered a lot of information from Gu Long’s recent words.

The seven had targeted many of his people.

But they had been relocated before by Gu Long.

"Right, now quickly come with me!" Gu Long urged, glancing around, "The ten prestigious families’ people are here, seven families!"

"Four mid-Innate, three early-Innate."

"These people, you can’t deal with them!"

"I’ll take you somewhere safe now."

"Just wait a mere couple of hours, and everything will be resolved!"

"Everything will be resolved?" Lin Xi was taken aback, then realized, "Maybe it won’t take that long!"

"It can be done now!"

Gu Long didn’t catch what Lin Xi meant by now, he said, "It will take that long!"

"The Dragon King, he’ll arrive by then!"

"Then, the seven families’ people will definitely retreat in disgrace!"

"If they don’t, they’re doomed!"

Lin Xi didn’t expect the Dragon King’s appearance?

Did he have so much influence?

It never crossed his mind.

He believes he has no connection with the Dragon King.

Why does the Dragon King always help him?

And this isn’t a trivial matter.

"The Dragon King’s so formidable, even against four mid-Innate and three early-Innate." At this, he couldn’t help but glance at the distant corner.

Gu Long was fully confident in addressing Lin Xi’s doubts,

"Even a few years ago, together they weren’t a match for the Dragon King."

"Let alone now!"

"So, you don’t need to worry; the Dragon King will handle this."

Lin Xi didn’t speak, but was pondering inwardly.

This Dragon King?

Mid-Innate?

No way!

Top-class Innate?

Otherwise, how could he handle this group?

Hearing Gu Long, dealing with these people wouldn’t be a struggle for the Dragon King.

Thinking this, he was largely convinced.

Dragon King, top-class Innate Powerhouse.

Arguably, the strongest he’s encountered.

Well, excluding the elder.

On the other side, in the corner, the seven prestigious families’ members looked puzzled.

Why, being so close, they couldn’t hear the conversation between the unfamiliar young man and Gu Long clearly?
