Chapter 172 Showdown with Jia Xingtian
If anyone had paid attention that night, they would have noticed that the palace was heavily guarded on more than one level.

While helping the Youhai dragon beast heal its wounds, Gu Fengchen watched Jia Xingtian on the side.

"Master Jia, let me ask you something. We have a poison master from the Izumo Empire in the Jiama Empire. He is at the Douling level. Did you know that?"

Gu Fengchen said this while observing Jia Xingtian's expression.

Jia Xingtian's brows suddenly gathered, and he glanced at Gu Fengchen, "Impossible, it's impossible for me not to know that a Douling-level poison master entered our Jiama Empire. Moreover, the Jiama Empire has strict city defenses, especially for such a high-level one. It is difficult for it to enter our Jiama Empire, let alone enter the Jiama Holy City."

Gu Fengchen nodded slightly. Excluding the possibility of entry from outside, there was a great possibility that he was released from prison.

So, Gu Fengchen asked: "What if it's someone from our group? For example, someone who was released from prison?"

Hearing what Gu Fengchen said, Jia Xingtian's expression changed instantly. He stared at Gu Fengchen and said in a cold voice: "Were you ambushed?"

Jia Xingtian had been able to protect the Jia Ma Empire for such a long time and had witnessed so many vicissitudes and great changes. He was more cunning and scheming than Gu Fengchen. When Gu Fengchen asked this, he instantly understood something.

"Well, just today, three poison masters from the Izumo Empire committed murder in the street. They seemed to have magical weapons that could shield them from the surroundings, and it was obvious that they wanted to kill me." Gu Fengchen pondered for a moment, then said, "I killed them all."

Jia Xingtian was quite surprised by this result.

Compared with ordinary monks, poison masters are more difficult to deal with and have many methods.

Even for Jia Xingtian, when facing a poison master of the same level, his first choice is to retreat.

Gu Fengchen didn't care about Jia Xingtian's expression, and continued, "That's not the point."

He took a deep breath and continued, "The point is, when I searched them, I didn't find anything on them, including a ring, except for the weapons they carried. Moreover, they were skinny and had obvious signs of being shackled."

Speaking of this, even a fool could think of some terrible things.

Moreover, Jia Xingtian is not stupid. He has been able to protect the Jia Ma Empire for so many years and has been fighting with the Yunlan Sect and the Izumo Empire. How can Jia Xingtian be a good person?

He immediately figured out the connection.

The poison masters of the Izumo Empire are all war criminals and death row prisoners.

Death row prisoners are transferred out of prison at will?
And he is also a poison master of the Izumo Empire? ! Douling level!
Jia Xingtian's heart sank.

Although the murderer of the last ambush was not found, any discerning person could see that it was done by Mu Chen from the Mu family.

Because Mu Zhan was killed by Gu Fengchen, the head of the Mu family has been brooding over it and has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. He has all the logic, motive, and ability to do so.

As for why the Mohist School wanted to intervene, it was naturally because the Mu Family promised certain benefits.

The Mu family is the only one that can transfer death row prisoners from the prison at will.

After all, the Mu family is guarding the border, they are the ones who captured the people, and the right to dispose of them is in their hands.

The Mu family has been loyal to the Gama royal family since ancient times.

Jia Xingtian never thought that Mu Chen was so brave!

He actually used his power to murder people in the street.

Jia Xingtian looked at Gu Fengchen deeply.

Gu Fengchen said this to seek Jia Xingtian's attitude.

He did this because he respected the Gama royal family and regarded them as friends.

It’s that simple if he wants to take action against the Mu family.

It would be fine if the other party ambushed and tried to kill me once, after all, I did kill the other person's son. It is understandable that an old father would feel sad and want to take revenge after seeing his son die.

He endured.

After all, Gu Fengchen himself felt that he was a little impulsive to kill Mu Zhan, but it was indeed the other party who provoked him first, so he did not regret it. But he could tolerate Mu Chen assassinating him once.

But how can this never end?
Killing people in the street is extremely evil.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

With his current abilities, killing Mu Chen would be a piece of cake.

But the Mu family is the most loyal dog of the Jia Ma royal family after all. Out of courtesy, Gu Fengchen still wants to seek Jia Xingtian's consent before touching the Mu family.

Jia Xingtian remained silent.

As the guardian of the empire, although he loves talents, he also knows the importance of the Mu family to the Gama Empire.

Now, over there in the Tagor Desert, the snake people are eyeing covetously, the Izumo Empire and the Luoyan Empire are also plotting in secret, and internally, the restless giant Yunlan Sect is quietly rising.

If we attack the Mu family at this time, we will undoubtedly reveal a huge flaw to these enemies.

But Gu Fengchen said seriously: "So what if the Mu family is gone? I will give you a Mu family."

He said it seriously and with certainty.

That’s right, it’s power.

In fact, he had long planned to build his own power, and started with the Gama Empire.

Yun Yun, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the Little Medical Fairy, Gu Xun'er, Gu Dongli, Gu Mei, plus Fa Ma and Ya Fei, as non-staff members, this force is absolutely invincible.

Jia Xingtian's brows were tightly furrowed.

Things like this must be weighed against the pros and cons. If one is not careful, the entire Gama Empire will be in danger of being destroyed.

Seeing that Jia Xingtian was slow to speak, Gu Fengchen waited quietly by the side.

He has already revealed his cards, and how to choose is up to Jia Xingtian.

The current Gu Fengchen is not afraid of Jia Xingtian. To him, the peak of Douhuang is nothing.

Jia Xingtian frowned tightly, and for a long time, there was still no response.

This old fox.

Gu Fengchen sighed. He never thought it would be so easy to convince Jia Xingtian.

The Mu family has guarded the Gama royal family for so many years and has made great contributions. Even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.

Gu Fengchen thought about it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Master Jia, do you know why you have been unable to break through to Dou Zong?"

Jia Xingtian, who was watching the Youhai Jiao Beast healing, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to Gu Fengchen, frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

"In fact, with your realm, you don't need the sect-breaking pill at all. What you need now is the belief that no one else can do it but me. You have lost the passion to become a strong man and the courage to make a move without regrets. You are afraid to take action, which is why you have hesitated for so many years."

Jia Xingtian stood there in a daze, not saying anything for a long time, deep doubts echoing in his mind: Faith, life and death battle, brains, did he really lack them?

If he lacked it, how could Jia Xingtian possibly cultivate to the peak level of Dou Huang?

In this world, not everyone has the Dou Emperor bloodline of the ancient clan. To be able to cultivate to the Dou Emperor level, especially in the northwest region of the Gama Empire, is enough to show Jia Xingtian's talent.

Not inferior to others.

Talent is something that Xingtian has no shortage of.
