424 Not Giving Face

Reporting to Sect Master, dinner is ready. Sect Master, please go! the female disciple who had left earlier hurried back into the side hall.

You can leave first. How about the two of you eat while you wait? Murong Fu turned to look at Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master.

Alright, I'm a little hungry. Floating Jade Island Master said as he rubbed his stomach.

Gu Mingzhou also stood up and nodded slightly at Murong Fu.

Even though they could already abstain from eating.

However, he still didn't forget the habit of having three meals.

Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master rushed over from Handan City. When they arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect, night had fallen, and it was time for dinner.

Follow me! Murong Fu stood up and walked out of the side hall.

Gu Mingzhou and the Island Master of Floating Jade Island followed closely behind and soon entered the Clearwater Palace in the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Clearwater Palace was rich and magnificent. It was very spacious and could accommodate thousands of people.

There were only a few seats left in the Clearwater Palace.

The wooden tables in front of three of the seats were already filled with all kinds of delicious food, waiting to be tasted!

Murong Fu sat on the main seat, while the Floating Jade Island Lord and Gu Mingzhou sat beside him.

The three people settled down. Murong Fu said a few polite words and everyone began to taste the food.

After three rounds of wine, five dishes.

Throughout the whole process, Murong Fu ate heartily and didn't say anything.

Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master did not speak either. They also buried their heads in the delicious food.

The Clearwater Palace was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

It was obvious that Murong Fu was very angry about the first elder holding Zhao Gao hostage and wanted to ask for the reason.

The first elder's actions were completely against Murong Fu's will.

It was no different from looking down on Murong Fu!

Time passed quietly, and the night grew darker.

Sect Master, first elder and fifth elder are here.

Just as Gu Mingzhou thought that the first elder would not appear today, a disciple rushed in and bowed to Murong Fu.

Let him in! Murong Fu, who was eating heartily, raised his head and said coldly without any expression.

Two burly figures strode into the hall from the night.

Greetings, Sect Master!

The first elder Murong Kuang and the fifth elder Murong Yan bowed to Murong Fu.

Quickly, take your seats! Murong Fu sat up straight and waved his hand.

Thank you, Sect Master! the first elder and the fifth elder replied in unison again before turning around and taking their seats.

Big Brother Liu! Little Brother Gu! Murong Yan cupped his hands at Floating Jade Island Master and Gu Mingzhou after he sat down.

Floating Jade Island Master and Gu Mingzhou smiled and nodded in response.

Everyone turned their attention to Murong Kuang, the first elder.

Gu Mingzhou and Floating Jade Island Master had rushed here from Handan to find Murong Kuang!

Now that he had seen him, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He wanted to ask about Zhao Gao's condition.

First elder, I heard that you've captured Sect Master Zhao, is that true?

There is such a thing! the first elder immediately cupped his hands and said to Murong Fu.

Then explain, I asked you to go to Handan to invite Brother Gu, why did you hold Sect Master Zhao as a hostage? Murong Yan said.

The first elder's expression made him very displeased.

Actually, Sect Master Zhao didn't come to the Heavenly Sword Sect as a hostage. He wanted to come here. The first elder raised his wine cup and spoke in an indifferent voice.

Gu Mingzhou and Floating Jade Island Master looked at each other, both clearly surprised.

They weren't shocked by the first elder's words, but rather, the his expression when he spoke was completely different from his previous respectful appearance.

It was as if Murong Fu was no different from Gu Mingzhou and the others in the eyes of the first elder!

You holding Sect Master Zhao hostage was his idea? Murong Fu naturally noticed the first elder's expression. He frowned and was obviously suppressing the anger in his heart. He was so angry that he laughed.

Sect Master, don't forget that Sect Master Zhao has already established his Dao Foundation. There's also something else I want to tell you. The first elder stood up with a cup of wine in his hand and continued.

Speak! Murong Fu looked at the first elder and said.

Today, I respectfully ask Sect Master to abdicate! the first elder spilled the wine in his cup on the wooden table as if he was paying his respects.

A dense aura filled the entire Clearwater Palace!

No matter how stupid Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master were, it was impossible for them not to understand the meaning behind the first elder's words. He was obviously trying to usurp the throne!

Bang!

Murong Kuang, do you know what you're saying? the moment Gu Mingzhou and the Floating Jade Island Master were stunned by the first elder's words, Murong Fu, who was sitting on the main seat, slammed the table and stood up. He glared at the first elder and shouted coldly.

Of course, I know! It's something I've wanted to do for a hundred years! the first elder was not afraid at all. He looked at Murong Fu arrogantly and replied loudly.

As expected, you're one of the people who covet this Lord's position! Murong Fu was so angry that he shook his head and laughed.

Your position? Could it be that Sect Master has forgotten how he took that position back then? the first elder threw away the wine cup and pointed at Murong Fu as he sneered.

Shut up! Murong Fu interrupted the first elder's words as if the following words were very unfavorable to Murong Fu. His expression changed greatly and he shouted loudly.

If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? Are you afraid the dirty things you've done back then will be exposed? the first elder's lips curled into a mocking smile.

When has this Lord ever been afraid? Do you think you can shake this Lord? Simply delusional! This Lord would really like to know, what makes you dare to do this? Murong Fu said.

That's right, what makes the first elder have so much courage?

At most, he was the first elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, an earth-realm warrior.

Even if he had some subordinates, how could they compare to Murong Fu?

What was this compared to Murong Fu, who had a deep foundation?

Because of me! the fifth elder Murong Yan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up and shouted at Murong Fu.

You're not interested in power, but you're actually coveting this Lord's position? Murong Fu looked at the fifth elder in disbelief.

I'm not interested in the position of Sect Master, but I'm very interested in your actions! the fifth elder shouted.

It seems that you've been planning this for a long time. However, this Lord is very curious about what other means you have to make yourself so confident. Why don't you show them now? Murong Fu slowly retracted his smile and looked at the fifth elder and first elder again as he spoke in a cold voice.

Since Sect Master has spoken, this old man will no longer hide! before Murong Fu could finish his sentence, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the palace.

Countless cultivators in armor quickly rushed in through the palace gates.

The first person to rush into the palace was the pale-faced Sect Master of The Trap, Zhao Gao!

The familiar voice just now was naturally from Zhao Gao!

Sect Master? Gu Mingzhou's expression changed.

The Island Master of Floating Jade Island was also a little dumbfounded. He sized up Zhao Gao, who was leading the army to Clearwater Palace and was filled with disbelief.

He and Gu Mingzhou had come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to save Zhao Gao.

However, they did not expect that Zhao Gao would not only not be kidnapped, but also form an alliance with the first elder and participate in the battle for the throne.
