Chapter 1328 Gu Xing's Depression
Gu Xing spoke passionately about his guesses.
In his words, Sun Wukong was cunning and treacherous enough.
That's why they were able to sneak into the Snowdrift Guild and steal the list without anyone noticing.
This person is their biggest threat; if they don't get rid of him, there will be endless trouble in the future!
Every example Gu Xing gave was very convincing.
Having spoken somewhat tirelessly, Gu Xing paused for a moment before continuing to speak to the masked man before him:
"Sir, as long as you give the order, my men will spare no expense to capture him and bring him to justice."
After listening to the masked man's long-winded explanation, I felt my head was starting to throb.
Gu Xing rambled on for so long, but he only understood one thing.
That is, Sun Wukong is investigating them, and may have already learned some secrets he shouldn't know.
In that case, Sun Wukong absolutely cannot remain in the world.
The masked man, having thought of this, immediately gave the order:
“What you say makes perfect sense. In that case, I’ll give you five days to bring this annoying guy back as a warning to others.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing cursed inwardly: Five days to bring that guy back? Are you out of your mind?
If Sun Wukong were really that easy to catch, then he wouldn't have failed so many times before.
However, on the other hand, Sun Wukong was previously overwhelmed by his subordinates, so he didn't seem to be that strong...
Shouldn't we be able to catch him in five days?
Upon thinking about this, Gu Xing instinctively reached out to nod in agreement.
However, before he could do that, he forcibly suppressed the thought.
The reason is very simple.
He suddenly realized that even if Sun Wukong's strength wasn't that great, his hiding skills were top-notch!
Previously, he had tried many methods to capture Sun Wukong in order to complete the task assigned by the masked man.
It even escalated to the point where it reached the Third Guild.
But what is the final result?
Not only was the other party unharmed, but he also used an expensive method to remove the evidence in Sun Wukong's hands.
Needless to say, that's what happened after that.
Sun Wukong is practically a monkey; his men can never catch up with his whereabouts.
It's impossible to kidnap someone when they're alone.
Thinking about these things, Gu Xing suddenly realized that he wasn't so capable after all.
The masked man didn't care what Gu Xing was thinking. His goal was simple and singular: to see only the result.
They don't care about the process at all.
"In short, I'm only giving you five days. If you fail to bring the person here within five days, I think the position of guild leader of the Snowdrift Guild should be given to someone more capable. What do you think?"
The masked man's words immediately ignited Gu Xing's anger.
But he also knew very well that if the masked man dared to say that, then he could definitely do it.
They were not the only option for these masked people.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing ultimately swallowed his anger.
"My lord, please don't be angry. I will do my best to handle this matter. Once the person is caught, I will send him to you as soon as possible!"
He maintained that obsequious and humble attitude.
Although they lack backbone, at least they won't let these masked people deliberately torment them.
"In that case, I'll be waiting for your good news!" The masked man sneered, then opened the passage to his lair.
Gu Xing watched as the masked man led Liang Lu into the passage, his expression unchanged.
Only after the passage was closed did he change his fawning expression to resentment.
He mimicked the masked man's posture, muttering in a sarcastic tone.
Then he turned his head and prepared to think of a way to catch Sun Wukong.
……
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong successfully attached himself to Liang Lu and arrived at the lair of these masked men.
To Sun Wukong's surprise, the masked man did not return to the world where Sun Wukong had previously anchored.
Sun Wukong felt both delighted and disappointed.
After all, if we really did return to that world...
With Sun Wukong's current disguise, he might be exposed in no time, essentially delivering himself to the enemy's doorstep.
At the same time, he was also disappointed by this.
His hidden restlessness made him want to give it a try.
He wanted to see if, with thorough preparation, he could possibly slip past the guards and infiltrate that vast world.
In this situation, Sun Wukong could only comfort himself: It's alright, such an opportunity will come sooner or later.
Checking out this base first might be a good option.
However, as the masked man led Lianglu deeper into the base before him, a shadow gradually fell over Sun Wukong's heart.
This base doesn't seem to have anything special about it.
The layout inside the settings is somewhat similar to the basic layout of the Taskers' Guild.
Sun Wukong was unsure whether this base was based on the layout of most mission-oriented guilds.
Or perhaps, this base was originally a mission guild.
Regardless of the possibility, it was information that Sun Wukong could have predicted.
This also proves that this group of masked men did not just appear in the Heavenly Dao Alliance in recent years.
Sun Wukong's mind was always filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
It wasn't until the masked man threw Liang Lu into a room labeled "Cultivation Room" that Sun Wukong actually saw a familiar face there.
How could this be? How did this guy end up here?
Sun Wukong dared not utter a sound, but could only frantically unleash his inner power.
The young man glanced at the masked man who had brought the test subject. "Tsk... what brings you here?"
"This material looks quite robust; it should greatly increase our chances of success."
He then examined Liang Lu's condition.
After confirming that the guy was in good health, his expression revealed a strong sense of excitement.
"Heh, you said the same thing about the last material, but the final success rate... I don't even want to say anything about it."
The masked man rolled his eyes, uttered a sarcastic remark, and left the "cultivation room."
But the man didn't care at all about the masked man's mockery.
He couldn't wait to dig up Lianglu and then quickly conduct the experiment.
The irrelevant words of others are nothing.
He was confident that this time, his experimental data would definitely take off!
