CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 567: SEARCHING FOR GU XIAOJIE

At the moment, in Du Tianxing’s office, there are Zhou Jian and about a dozen of his subordinates, who have been discussing and analyzing all kinds of possible consequences and countermeasures around Du Tianxing. Upon hearing Du Tianxing’s decision to ally with Yang Xiao against Gu Beifeng, everyone is somewhat surprised, not knowing what the content of the letter was that suddenly enlightened Du Tianxing and made him resolute.

Du Tianxing smiled, placed the letter in his hand on the table, and let everyone read it.

Everyone gathered around, and saw the letter written:

During the Three Kingdoms Period, Wu Country and Shu Kingdom allied against Wei Country. The world was divided into three, balanced and without unrest. After Lv Meng captured Jingzhou, Wu and Shu turned hostile, and from then on both countries faced continuous misfortune, with Wei Country eventually annexing Wu and Shu.

If Lv Meng had not captured Jingzhou back then, perhaps the history of the Three Kingdoms would have continued for several decades, even a hundred years?

Du Tianwang, you are today’s Wu Country, Gu Beifeng is Cao Cao, and I, am the Shu Kingdom.

If you ally with Gu Beifeng to seize East City, I will surely send troops from Luoying City to attack you!

Think thrice!

Signed, "Yang Xiao."

After everyone read it, they all sighed, deeply touched. With just a few words, Yang Xiao had clearly depicted the current major situation, and coupled with the repeated discussions of various plans these days, the pros and cons were already clear in everyone’s minds. Yang Xiao hit the core of the issue with his words, no wonder Du Tianxing was suddenly enlightened and made a firm decision.

Du Tianxing immediately convened a meeting,

"I have decided, to accept Yang Xiao’s suggestion, to join forces with Yang Xiao to pressure Gu Beifeng to agree to equally divide the activities in Wuji Mountain. This is a plan that doesn’t require warfare, with controllable situations and clear outcomes, and it also ensures the stability of the current situation in the entire Xuanming District,

Although Gu Beifeng will lose some resources of Wuji Mountain, it does not pose a fatal threat to him, nor will he hate me deeply, let alone start a war with me. Conversely, if I ally with Gu Beifeng, threatening Yang Xiao’s survival, Yang Xiao will undoubtedly wage war against me,

Zhou Jian, since you and Yang Xiao are good friends, I want you to lead ten thousand elites into Wuji Mountain, along with the previous three thousand elites, all under your command, Zhao Benling has already gathered 20,000 people in Wuji Mountain, and Yang Xiao also has six to seven thousand people, we just need to show our stance, I believe Gu Beifeng will concede."

"What if Gu Beifeng doesn’t concede?"

"Fool, with Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling taking the lead, do we even need to personally enter the battle? Actually, Yang Xiao doesn’t even expect us to fight; showing our stance is enough."

The next day, Zhou Jian led ten thousand people into Wuji Mountain. After settling the troops, Zhou Jian, accompanied by several followers, went to meet Yang Xiao in White Snow Town.

Yang Xiao was very happy to see Zhou Jian, and learned about Du Tianxing’s decision.

"Yang Xiao, what should I do now?"

"You don’t have to do anything, just show your stance."

...

Zhuge Ming went to Magic City to see Du Tianxing twice in a row and was refused, feeling very uneasy. The third time he requested to see Du Tianxing, Du Tianxing met Zhuge Ming in his own office.

"Du Tianwang, you?"

Du Tianxing waved his hand, indicating Zhuge Ming didn’t need to speak, and then took out the letter from Yang Xiao and handed it to Zhuge Ming.

After reading it, Zhuge Ming’s face became grim, he sighed, and walked out.

Someone asked Du Tianxing,

"Boss, why did Zhuge Ming leave without saying a word?"

"Hehe, he is a smart man, after reading Yang Xiao’s letter, he naturally understood my decision, why say more?"

Zhuge Ming returned to Wentian City and recounted the events, especially narrating the contents of Yang Xiao’s letter to Gu Beifeng without missing a word.

Gu Beifeng listened, at first stunned, then burst into loud laughter.

Zhuge Ming looked at Gu Beifeng, puzzled, and asked:

"Boss, what are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at? I’m happy. Think about it, if Yang Xiao compared you to Cao Cao, a hero from the Three Kingdoms Period, wouldn’t you be satisfied? Not happy?"

Zhuge Ming: "..."

"What about the matter with Wuji Mountain?"

Gu Beifeng smiled and said:

"Just follow their proposed plan, distribute Wuji Mountain equally among the four families. Without Wuji Mountain, do you think I, Gu Beifeng, won’t develop anymore? You go to Wuji Mountain yourself, represent me and negotiate with Zhao Benling and others, redraw the hunting boundaries of Wuji Mountain. Once this is settled, we should concentrate our forces to annex the surrounding provinces. I should thank Yang Xiao, he’s shown me the way, brilliant, this guy is really brilliant!"

When Zhuge Ming arrived at Wuji Mountain and told Zhao Benling about agreeing to withdraw from some positions and share equally among the four families, Zhao Benling could hardly believe his ears.

Originally expecting at least a few fierce battles, it was unexpectedly resolved so easily, this is just too bizarre, has Gu Beifeng suddenly changed his nature?

The power territory of Wuji Mountain was redrawn, each of the four families got 8 positions, and at the same time, Gu Beifeng’s two positions at Changling were also given to Zhao Benling.

This volcano in Eastern Province was temporarily extinguished, everyone began hunting in Wuji Mountain, each taking what they needed.

While Yang Xiao was dealing with the crisis in Wuji Mountain, Gu Bo from the Genetic Store in Nanmu City was frowning with worry, as his assistant Gu Xiaojie had suddenly disappeared, making him quite distressed.

With Gu Xiaojie’s cultivation ability, even old King Level Evolvers like Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing were no match for him, theoretically, no one should be able to harm Gu Xiaojie.

However, Gu Xiaojie had been missing for over ten days now, where could he have gone?

Gu Bo felt unease creeping in his heart, subconsciously telling him that Gu Xiaojie might be dead, but as to who killed him and where he died, he had no idea.

Gu Bo knew that Gu Xiaojie was tasked with secretly monitoring Yang Xiao, he had doubted Yang Xiao before, but recently, Yang Xiao had been too busy handling the crisis in Wuji Mountain. Moreover, with Yang Xiao’s cultivation only at the level of High-Level Enhanced Gene, even if he had a conflict with Gu Xiaojie, Yang Xiao wasn’t capable of killing him.

Gu Bo decided to search for Gu Xiaojie himself, and after visiting several Genetic Stores near the transmission stations, he finally arrived at the Shenlongjia Genetic Store.

"Mr. Gu, hello!"

The owner of the Shenlongjia Genetic Store greeted Gu Bo.

"Did you notice my assistant Gu Xiaojie passing by here around ten days ago?"

"There are too many people coming and going through the Transmission Array every day, we don’t stare at it all the time, so I’m not very clear. But doesn’t Gu Xiaojie have a locator on him? Why not use the locating device to track his whereabouts?"

"Do you think I wouldn’t have thought of that? His locator seems to have stopped working, unable to receive any information."

"Mr. Gu, you should report this matter to the higher organization, let them send people to find Gu Xiaojie. It’s hard for you to find him alone."

"Sigh, I’ll look for a few more days. If I really can’t find him then I will report it to the organization."

After saying that, Gu Bo took out a disk-shaped special device with many strange runes on it, took a look, swiftly flashed, and flew towards the nearby Shenlongjia Forest.

(Today there are only 2 posts, I will be traveling long distance back to the city for work tomorrow, and from the Day After Tomorrow, I can post four times a day stably.)
