Chapter 427: Gu Li, Come Over

“For some reason, he arrived a day earlier,” the priest answered impatiently.

His gaze remained fixed on the road.

Yu Shijin, Su Huiqing, and the rest were not here yet. The guards he had sent were also not back yet.

His heart was not as calm as it seemed.

He had sent that guard to kill Gu Li last night, but there was no news of it yet. No matter if he had succeeded, he should not be so calm!

Just as he was thinking…

A group of people walked towards them.

Walking against the light, his face was somewhat blurry.

Like the others, the priest narrowed his eyes in that direction.

In the next second, those narrowed eyes suddenly widened.

How could this be? How could Gu Li still be here?!

Where was the guard? Where did the guard go?!

The priest’s heart was in a mess and didn’t realize that he was staring at Gu Li. However, the chief noticed it and couldn’t help but frown. He looked at the priest. “Miss Su and Mr. Yu’s people… don’t touch them. This is the second time I’m reminding you.”

With that, he respectfully went to welcome Su Huiqing and Yu Shijin.

The priest was still standing there.

The chief no longer cared about the priest. Although the priest brought a very powerful backer for their race, they also wanted to provoke a stronger opponent. This was something the chief could not tolerate.

“The candidates have all arrived.” The chief stood at the center with an incense table in front of him. He looked up at the sun and said solemnly, “Open the ancestral grounds!”

After four firm words…

Gu Sheng supported his father as they walked towards the entrance.

“Dad, can you take it?” Gu Sheng glanced at his father.

“It’s fine.” Gu Sheng’s father bowed to Su Huiqing from afar before raising his wrist to cut it.

Fresh blood flowed down his wrist.

The chief and the rest looked towards the door with shining eyes.

More and more blood flowed.

However, the door had no intention of opening.

Gu Sheng’s father’s face turned paler and paler. His body swayed, and he looked like he could not hold on any longer.

“Mr. Yu, didn’t you say that the territory has already been opened?” The chief looked at Yu Shijin in panic. “Why is there no reaction yet?”

Yu Shijin didn’t finish his sentence and just glanced at the chief mildly.

“There are no problems with the territory.” He retracted his gaze and spoke very calmly.

“No problem, then…” The other elders were also very puzzled.

Yu Shijin interrupted them and looked at the group of people coldly. “The problem is with the people.”

The problem was the person?

What did this mean?

Not to mention the elders, even the chief was stunned.

Yu Shijin didn’t explain this time. He just strolled over to Gu Sheng and the other two. He looked at the bloodstained groove and glanced at Gu Li. “Gu Li, come here.”

Gu Li was stunned to be called out all of a sudden.

Su Huiqing stuffed her hands into her pockets and smiled at Gu Li. “He’s calling you. Hurry up.”

Upon hearing Su Huiqing’s cold voice, Gu Li snapped out of his trance and walked towards Yu Shijin.

Yu Shijin didn’t say anything and just let Gu Li show his arm.

He took out a dagger and cut Gu Li’s wrist.

“What is Old Yu doing?” Hua Guangxuan touched his chin thoughtfully. He then looked at Su Huiqing. “Oh, right, Sister-in-law, I felt some spiritual energy fluctuations at your place last night. Did you encounter some trouble?”
