Chapter 298: Guan Hongchen

Zhang Dongsheng was very excited.

Unlike Gu Nan, Tang Xuan, and the others who left Radiant Tower, he ultimately chose to stay at Radiant Tower all along.

But he worked his way up step by step from a small asteroid belt branch to Ruby Fish Stars branch office, then finally to the Central Region. Now that he was a member of Radiant Towers Central Region office, he could be considered to have reached the pinnacle of his life.

The seven-member team he currently belonged toeach of whom was at least Prodigious Realm Infinitesimal Stage or above and each of whom had special skillswas an elite team in the truest sense.

But it was precisely such an elite team that suffered repeated setbacks in a certain mission. Finally, under their captains leadership, they could only seek help from a senior.

Reportedly, this Senior Guan was the one who mentored their captain and taught him the basics of completing missions back then.

Right now, they didnt know if Senior Guan would even be willing to help with this terrible mess. But he didnt expect to run into Gu Nan here. This was truly a pleasant surprise!

Zhang Dongsheng didnt forget that back when Gu Nan was still at Innate Realm, he was already clearing Radiant Towers missions as easily as playing around.

Right up until he left, Gu Nan's mission completion rate was 100%!

The longer Zhang Dongsheng stayed in Radiant Tower, the more he realized just how terrifying the past Gu Nan wasit wasn't about how powerful he was. Rather, he was too much of a jack of all trades; there were so many different types of missions, yet none of them could stump him.

Yet in such a situation, Gu Nan voluntarily delivered himself right to Zhang Dongshengs doorstep. It was simply too perfect!

"Gu Nan, do you have time to chat?" Zhang Dongsheng asked calmly as he strolled up to Gu Nan again, smiling like an old friend.

"No."

"Ah Haha, your cold humor is still the same as before!" Zhang Dongsheng tried his best to smooth things over. "It's our captain who wants to meet you. An Wende, a Domain Stage expert with the title of Ghost Sword."

Seemingly hearing his own name, the bearded An Wende turned his head to glance in Zhang Dongsheng and Gu Nans direction.

He was waiting for Gu Nan to twist his head to look his way, and then he could give a nod at just the right moment.

Not only did this express his respect for talents, but it also displayed his status. An Wende had been a captain for many years, so he was already extremely familiar with this routine.

What puzzled him, however, was that Gu Nan didn't seem to hear Zhang Dongsheng at all. Let alone look back, Gu Nan didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Gu Nan?" Seeing his motionless appearance, Zhang Dongsheng shouted again, "You busy bee, you can at least find the time to meet our captain, cant you?

Gu Nan finally turned his head slowly. "It's not that I don't have time; it's that you guys no longer have time."

Before Zhang Dongsheng could understand his meaning, a loud noise had already traveled over from outside.

The glass at the entrance of the hall shattered into pieces with a loud bang. At the same time, the doors and windows were broken through. Broken glass shards flew everywhere, making everyone scream and curse, yet the more dreadful event had yet to come.

One by one, figures dressed in black rushed in rapidly, holding standard long blades in their hands. They started slashing crazily at all the guests present.

"This" Zhang Dongsheng was dumbfounded by this scene. For a moment, he was speechless.

Red Tail, on the other hand, glanced at Gu Nan with a strange expression, because this was exactly what Gu Nan orderedthe massacre must not be carried out with modern weaponry. The scene must be bloody and cruel enough in order to put the greatest amount of pressure on Guan Hongchen.

Many people had the same reaction as Zhang Dongsheng. To be honest, such a vendetta massacre scenario rarely ever happened in Peach Blossoms Star.

After all, this was Peach Blossoms Star! These people were killing so wantonlywerent they afraid of the Three Elders wrath?

The Three Elders of Peach Blossoms Star referred to three powerful senior Void Cutter cultivators. Even Starry Ocean Pavilion had to take into consideration their connections and strength. They were the foundation of Peach Blossoms Star's transcendent and impartial status.

The crazed slaughter continued; the guests had already fled. Captain An Wende was surprised at first, then ecstatic.

We encountered this sort of matter as soon as we arrived. This is an opportunity!

An Wende knew that these intruders overall strength wasnt actually that strong. Of the Prodigious cultivators leading them, not a single one of them was at Domain Stage. Many of the intruders were even at Innate Realm.

Isn't this a favor delivered straight to my door?

"Attack!" An Wende shouted lightly as his figure rushed out first. With a wave of his hand, he murdered a black-robed killer.

The other members of the elite team naturally followed their captains footsteps and joined the ranks of people resisting the killers, with only one exception.

That was Zhang Dongsheng. He was still standing next to Gu Nan, not daring to move at all.

Based on Gu Nans words just now, these killers were clearly his doing!

Zhang Dongsheng didnt know Gu Nans current cultivation realm, but Gu Nan had already stepped into Prodigious Realm back when he was still at Radiant Tower.

Gu Nans current cultivation probably isnt too far behind mine, so I must keep a close eye on him.

But to his confusion, Gu Nan didn't seem to make any moves and just quietly watched all this.

"My Lord, should I?" Red Tail asked in a low voice. She couldnt help feeling a little anxious when she saw over half of the people in black be killed or injured in the blink of an eye. If she joined the fight, then the situation would surely turn around in an instant.

"No matter." But Gu Nan just waved his hand.

He didn't expect too much from Red Tails people. The purpose was just to draw Guan Hongchen out.

If it was something like exterminating an entire family, his shadow clones could also do that, but they would make too much noise. He was afraid theyd scare the target away.

Even now, Guang Hongchen still hadnt shown up. Sure enough, this was a cool-headed woman, just as he expected.

The killers in black were quickly dealt with. Not only did An Wende and his team help out, but some of the guests also came to their senses to help kill the black-robed intruders.

Plus, Guan Hongchen also had some powerful experts stored up in her family, so this meager number of killers wouldnt be able to stir up too much wind and waves.

A mere moments later, the situation was completely under control, and the host family finally appeared on the scene, led by a gorgeous and mature-looking woman.

"That's Guan Hongchen." Red Tail informed Gu Nan, completely ignoring Zhang Dongsheng. "Her husband's surname is Zhu. Her husband died a few years ago, so she is currently in charge of the Zhu family."

While Red Tail was speaking, An Wende had walked up to Guan Hongchen and greeted her, "Senior Guan."

"So its Little An." Guan Hongchen quickly recognized An Wende but cut in before he could open his mouth, "I'll catch up with you later."

An Wende hurriedly nodded in agreement. Since something like this happened to the Zhu family, of course Guan Hongchen didnt have time to talk with him right now.

Guan Hongchen truly handled the situation incredibly and quickly calmed down everyone at the scene. Immediately after that, she slowly walked over to Gu Nan's side, staring straight at Red Tail.

"Lord Red Tail, you still refuse to leave me alone, even after all these years?" Her polite tone revealed a sense of alienation. Clearly, her relationship with Red Tail wasnt as simple as that of former comrades.

Red Tail chuckled. "No matter how you feel about that past matter, I'm afraid youll have to come out of retirement today."

Before Guan Hongchen could respond, An Wende, who was on the other side of the room, saw that this woman was actually his competitor and immediately shouted, "Senior, if someone is using your family to threaten you, you can always return to Radiant Tower and see who dares to openly oppose Radiant Tower!"

Radiant Tower's reputation was still very useful in Star Realm, so when An Wende pulled out the banner of his organization, he suddenly felt more confident.

While speaking, he kept casting meaningful glances at Zhang Dongsheng, trying to signal with his eyes.

Who knows what this bastard is doing, to actually run to the other side. If this makes Senior Guan misunderstand, wont we have brought trouble to ourselves for no reason?

When Guan Hongchen heard An Wende's words, she gave him a calming look and immediately said to Red Tail, "Youve been away from the Central Region for so long. Have you forgotten where we are right now?"

"Hmm?" Red Tail raised an eyebrow and was about to speak, but Gu Nans indifferent voice interrupted her.

"Someones coming."

As soon as Gu Nan's voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. This was an elderly man with white hair and a childlike face. He had a frivolous smile on his face. It was clear that he was still a child at heart.

Guan Hongchens expression immediately relaxed when she saw this elderly man appear.

"Hahahaha!" The old man stood in the air just like this. His gaze swept over Red Tail as he laughed brightly, "Peach Blossoms Star has only been enjoying peace for a few decades, but to think someone would run wild once again Huh?"

Before the old man could finish, his expression suddenly changed. He saw a young man below wave a hand gently, and then all his hairs stood on end, alarm bells going off in his heart.

The next moment, a giant hand made of shadows suddenly appeared in the air and slapped down without warning, directly swatting the old man to the ground like a fly.

Guan Hongchen stared at this scene like shed seen a ghost. Then she saw that young man get up slowly and appear in front of her with only one step.

"Now we can have a nice chat."
