Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 409: Chapter 409 – Terrifying News
The news Gu Heng shared was nothing short of shocking.

The Gu Clan’s base was less than a hundred thousand miles from West Wind City. Moreover, due to their clan’s precautions, they had forbidden any teleportation circles in this area.

Thus, the Unity Period experts coming from the Gu Clan would take more than three days to reach West Wind City. While this sounds dangerous, it wasn’t the sole reason for Jiang Xiaobai’s dread.

What truly alarmed Jiang Xiaobai was the fact that the esteemed guests from the Gu Clan were expected to arrive either today or tomorrow.

Among the arrivals would be many accomplished individuals from Hai Xianzong school, as well as those from the Holy City!

The Holy City was also sending a large number of experts.

Both sides were descending upon the Gu Clan to discuss matters about GuBei, the Holy Son of the Gu Clan. The Holy City intended to evaluate the sincerity of the Gu Clan, which meant assessing their monetary resources. They also wanted to see if GuBei was qualified enough.

As the initiators of these discussions, Hai Xianzong would need to be present as well.

Countless master individuals were going to attend!

In order to please the Holy City for this event, the Gu Clan had specifically gathered wealth, spirit stones, resources, treasures, etc., from all over the Northern State.

This was the purpose of the last auction held by the Gu Clan in Qing Luan City. The Gu Clan had auctioned off many treasured items from within the clan in order to gather Spirit Stones and resources.

This piece of news was the most important. Other details about the locations of spirit stone mines, other Gu Clan properties and so on went in one ear of Jiang Xiaobai and out the other.

He felt that the mess he had stirred up was perhaps too big.

His batch of fake spirit stones might already be in the Gu Clan’s possession. If the Gu Clan hadn’t detected any abnormalities, and then gave them to the Holy City, it would lead to his discovery.

Regardless of whether or not the Gu Clan would be punished, as the instigator, Jiang Xiaobai was certain he would face repercussions.

The Holy City, as recounted by Baihe and Gu Ning, was incredibly formidable. Baihe didn’t state this explicitly but merely told Jiang Xiaobai that the Holy City was very strong. On the other hand, Gu Ning had specifically warned Jiang Xiaobai to avoid any association with the Holy City.

The Holy City was way too dangerous.

And now, numerous experts were coming from the Holy City. Hai Xianzong had experts. The Gu Clan had experts!

The most important point was that they were currently near West Wind City. If they were discovered, it would be the end.

Jiang Xiaobai experienced the might of Half-step Tribulation Crossing Stage experts first hand, and he was certain—he was no match for them.

Even if the four of them joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move from such experts!

“This is madness, Jiang Xiaobai! You’ve caused a massive mess this time around!”

After a long pause, Zhuang Huanling couldn’t help but glare angrily at Jiang Xiaobai, especially since she had several spirit stones from the Gu Clan’s auction in her possession.

These were the same spirit stone resources that the Gu Clan was planning to offer to the Holy City in exchange for a position for GuBei!

Zhuang Huanling felt as though the spirit stones in her hands were burning hot.

“What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to run? Are you waiting for them to come and catch you?”

Ao Cheng also exclaimed, “Your techniques might barely allow you to compete against Unity Period individuals, but against Half-step Tribulation Crossing Stage experts, you’re fucked!”

Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded as he hurriedly turned to Gu Heng – looking like a dead dog in front of him. “Is everything you said true?”

“Of course, it’s true. A dying man always speaks the truth. Why would I lie to you?”

Gu Heng weakly replied, “Even though my Gu Clan is strong, only the elder is at a Half-step Tribulation Crossing Stage, and there is not even one Tribulation Crossing Stage expert. We depend upon the Hai Xianzong and the Holy City for everything, and spiritual stones are essential benefits.”

After saying this, a cold smile appeared on Gu Heng’s face, “Jiang Xiaobai, you’re good at stirring the pot, aren’t you? Well, even the king can’t save you this time.”

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Heng’s eyes gleamed with cruelty, and his body began to swell rapidly.

He’s going to self-detonate!

In an instant, all four of them sped away. The moment they managed to break away, a rumbling explosion erupted, and a mushroom cloud of magical energy formed in the sky.

All four of them were terrified.

They never imagined that Gu Heng would be so decisive to resort to self-detonation!

“Oh no, the Gu Clan’s mark!”

At this moment, Mo Yu screamed, pointing to a yellow mark on her arm.

Jiang Xiaobai and others also checked themselves, finding similar marks on their bodies. Jiang Xiaobai eventually realized why Gu Heng had kept delaying them with true information.

A fake story would have aroused suspicion and caused them to be on guard. But while they were distracted, Gu Heng had managed to imprint the mark on them. With this mark, the Gu Clan could easily locate them using a special method.

Mo Yu knew about it, which was why she disclosed it. Otherwise, they could have ended up surrounded without even knowing it!

Jiang Xiaobai was filled with regret.

If you always walk by the river, your shoes are bound to get wet. This time, they surely did.

“This mark of the Gu Clan can last for half a month…” Mo Yu murmured, observing the mark on her hand.

“So does this mean we’re going to be chased down by the Gu Clan for the next ten days?” Zhuang Huanling asked, alarmed.

Mo Yu nodded, and then revealed another shocking fact, “The Gu Clan elders, or those above the Dividing the Gods Period, all have a soul tablet. If they die, the soul tablet shatters, and through special means, one can view the last fragments of their memory.”

“Holy shit!”

Ao Cheng shouted, furiously clawing his hair. “We’re screwed. By now, they surely know I’m in the Northern State, right?”

“Given my status, they will definitely catch us and the Gu Clan’s people are probably on their way!”

Zhuang Huanling also glared at Jiang Xiaobai through gritted teeth, “You bastard, you’ve gotten us killed this time!”

“Then give me the things you got at the Gu Clan’s auction.”

“To hell with that, that’s my deserved compensation. You wait until this is over and see how I settle this with you.”

“Try to survive first!” Jiang Xiaobai smirked.

“No matter what, I’ll definitely live longer than you!” Zhuang Huanling wasn’t going down without a fight, shouting back.

At this moment, Ao Cheng stepped in to stop them: “Enough, what are you waiting for? If we don’t start running, we’re as good as dead!”

Following this, they all began a mad dash for their life. No way were they going to stick around to be sitting ducks.

Less than a hundred thousand miles from West Wind City, within the territory of the Gu Clan, two groups of people were descending from the sky.

The group in the lead was the Immortal Lord Heng Heng, accompanied by several Half-step Tribulation Crossing Stage experts. The fact that they were sending so many experts was merely to show respect to the Holy City.
