"Your Majesty, the Li family has also issued a territory-wide bounty. Whoever can bring the eldest young master's head back to Lincheng will be rewarded with an epic five-star suit."
"The eldest young master must have been hunted by the Li family. He must have fled into the wilderness with nowhere else to go. You should go and have a look. If it's too late, I'm afraid..."
Gu He's voice was obviously trembling, and he didn't dare to continue. That
's the wilderness, it's extremely dangerous. Even professionals who go in will be in danger of death.
Gu Chen failed to change his job and couldn't even become a professional. He fled into the wilderness under the pursuit of the Li family. How can he survive?
As soon as the voice fell, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Gu Qingfeng's body, directly knocking Gu He out.
Gu Qingfeng's face instantly became extremely cold, and his eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent.
"A territory-wide bounty? Hunting down my son? Bastards! Are the Lincheng Li family tired of living? How dare they commit such a heinous act?"
Issuing a bounty in the Northern Territory, hunting down the son of the Northern Territory War King, was tantamount to stomping on the royal family's reputation.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. That was his son, being hunted down by the Li family? And forced into the wilderness?
Even a first-level professional wouldn't be able to survive in the wilderness, let alone Gu Chen, a mere ordinary person.
Outrage!
Gu Qingfeng was enraged, wishing to plunder the Lincheng Li family and exterminate them!
Just as he was furious, a graceful figure walked down the hall.
Seeing the newcomer, a flicker of displeasure crossed Gu Qingfeng's face, but he still spoke, "The Lincheng Li family is hunting Gu Chen? Are you aware of this?"
"I just received the news, too,"
Qin Yun said calmly, unconcerned. "Gu Chen killed the heir of the Lincheng Li family. I'm afraid the Lincheng Li family needs to be given an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Within the Northern Territory, the Gu family reigns supreme!
The Li family, a mere ant, could be crushed to death before the royal family. A single word from him would wipe them out.
The dignified War King of the Northern Territory needed to give an explanation to the Li family? What a joke!
Even if he did, would the Li family dare accept it?
Gu Qingfeng looked at Qin Yun, his eyes cold, "Is it someone from the Li family who came to ask you for an explanation?"
"No." Qin Yun shook her head and said, "Gu Chen is the eldest son of the Gu family after all. Once the news of his murder spreads, it will damage the dignity of the royal family. The impact of this matter must be eliminated as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, the one who died is the heir of the Li family after all. If you don't give an explanation for this matter, I'm afraid the royal family's behavior will make the Li family feel disheartened."
Gu Qingfeng's face turned completely cold, "Okay, okay! Royal majesty, right? My son was hunted by the Li family, and his life or death is unknown. You are talking about royal majesty here?"
"Remember, the royal majesty was earned by me in the battlefield of the abyss, not by an apology!"
"If the royal family's behavior will make the Lincheng Li family feel disheartened, then send the entire Li family into the Flame Demon Abyss. This king will see if the Flame Demon Lord can warm the hearts of the Li family."
Gu Qingfeng glared at Qin Yun and scolded coldly, "If you really care about the dignity of the royal family, don't belittle yourself in the future. You are so adamant that a mother kneels to her son! "
Qin Yun's eyes were slightly red, and she bowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I just want the family to be reunited. I don't want to see Chen'er sever ties with the Gu family."
Looking at Gu Qingfeng's cold face, Qin Yun finally realized that she had gone too far by kneeling that day.
Upon thinking this, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I was confused before. Even if Chen'er killed the Li family heir, why should we explain this to the Li family?"
"Since there's still no news of Chen'er's whereabouts, it means he's safe for now. We should depart immediately for Lincheng and demand an apology from the Li family. We must force them to hand over Chen'er."
Gu Qingfeng's expression softened slightly, and he nodded. "Yes, you understand the importance of this matter."
Then, looking at Gu He beside him, Gu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "Gather the royal guards and follow me to the Li family in Lincheng. If anything happens to my son, I will wipe out the entire Li family!"
"Yes!"
Gu He, his expression thrilled, breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly retreated to gather his guards.
It was a thousand miles from Gubei City to Lincheng, but they hoped they could make it in time.
Otherwise, not only the Li family, but the entire Lincheng would be in for a bloody storm.
The next day, at dawn, the small border town of Lincheng was greeted with unprecedented bustle.
A large number of professionals, arriving from far and wide, appeared in the city, gathering information about Gu Chen through various channels before forming teams and leaving the city to search the wilderness for any trace of him.
"So many professionals! This is the first time I've seen so many on the streets of Lincheng."
"They must be here for the Li family's bounty. I bet Gu Chen is dead this time."
"Bounty? What's going on? Aren't these people recruited by the Lincheng Tourism Bureau?"
"Are you local? The Lincheng Li family's story is going viral, and you don't even know about it?"
"Hey, I just got out of the dungeon this morning. Wait a minute, I'm going to watch some videos and eat some melons."
The streets leading to the city gates were filled with ordinary people, eager to watch the excitement, and a large number of professionals below level two.
The wilderness was too dangerous for such a group, so they could only sit in the city, watching the constant stream of people leaving, relishing in the details of the events.
"Fuck, the heir of the Li family was killed by a civilian. Whose subordinate was this?"
"I heard it was a transferred student from Lincheng No. 1 Middle School. He has no background and his name is Gu Chen. As for why he wanted to kill Li Renjie, that's unclear."
"I remember Gu Chen cleared the hell-level novice copy and got an SSS-level evaluation. The admission quota for Shangjing Academy must be his. He has a bright future, why would he offend the Li family?"
"What? SSS-level evaluation? Have you drunk too much? So far, the hell-level novice copy in Lincheng has not been cleared!"
"You should read the news more often. I even liked the video of Gu Chen getting the SSS-level evaluation. Let me look for it... Damn! The video is taken down?"
"Impossible, let me check, hey, I really can't find it?"
"How can that be? I suspect you are working together to deceive me."
Listening to the conversation of some people around them, Lin Yuan, Lin Qingqing and Su Ran were all worried.
"I'm right, aren't I? The news of us getting the SSS-level rating was suppressed. Aside from the job-changing students present that day, almost no one in Lincheng knew we had cleared the Hell-level dungeon." "
Even the locals in Lincheng don't know, let alone the outside world. The only ones capable of such a thing are either the City Hall or the Li family, and we can't even rule out a collaboration between the two."
"I heard that Li Renjie didn't get a recommended admission spot in Gubei City. It seems the Li family had their eyes on Gu Chen's recommendation spot from the beginning, which is why they suppressed the news of our clearance of the Hell-level dungeon."
"With so many professionals entering the wilderness to hunt down Gu Chen, if he's caught, he'll definitely be dead!"
"Let's go and look for him too. We must find Gu Chen before the Li family, otherwise we'll be in big trouble!"
Lin Yuan and the other two discussed it and immediately set off towards the city gate.
With more and more professionals entering the wilderness, the danger was significantly reduced compared to before.
At this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
"The War King has arrived, all who are not here must stay!"
