Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 544 – I have money.

It had to be said that Gu Jiuxi’s disguise was truly powerful. If it wasn’t for the fact that An Zheng had a lot of experience in investigating cases, ordinary people wouldn’t even have noticed the details of a red rope on his wrist. Moreover, many of the Da Xi girls all had a red rope on their wrists. Some had it on their ankles, and some had it on their slim and beautiful waists.

What An Zheng noticed was that there was a slight damage on Gu Jiuxi’s red rope. It should have been brought back many years ago. This kind of little thing that was used for decorations was not even worth much, most girls in families would just throw it away for another if they were slightly damaged, but Gu Jiuxi still had it, so it was obvious that this was more meaningful to her than a red string.

An Zheng noticed Gu Jiuxi walking towardillar. Could it be that she found something?

“There’s one here.”

Gu Jiuxi turned to look at the Tantai Clan’s manager. “I am sure that there iidden space here.”

“Where?”

This person from the Tantai Clan was called Tantai Clan. He was a very shrewd person. Although An Zheng was not really familiar with the Tantai Clan, he still knew a little about their seniority. Tan Taiche’s position in the Tantai Clan should be around the lowest. His uncle’s generation only had one name, and among them there were more names that said “no”. Tan Taiche’s father was called Tantai Clan.

An Zheng had heard of Tantai Clan’s name before, but he had never seen this person before. According to the rumors, Tantai Clan was one of the pillars of the Tantai Clan. The Tantai Clan was not a first-rate clan to begin with. Furthermore, within the middle class clans, they were the type to keep a low profile. The outside world did not know much about them.

“Where?”

“Where?”

Tantai kept on saying it three times in a row as he looked at Gu Jiuxi suspiciously, “This great hero, could it be that he is randomly trying his luck because he can’t even take out a single Golden-Rank Spirit Stone?”

Gu Jiuxi: “I’m sure of that.”

An Zheng stood at the back of the crowd and closed his right eye, using his left eye to look. His left eye possessed the power of the good old man and Blood Pearl, so he could see through this kind of hidden item even more thoroughly. He hadn’t noticed it before because there really wasn’t anything special about it. An Zheng took a closer look and realized that the pattern carved on the pillar was strange. There was a faint trace of metal energy.

Gu Jiuxi’s perception of the sharp metal energy was astonishing, other people who did not have the physique of sharp metal energy would not be able to sense it.

Tantai Clan was not tired of seeing how certain she was. After being stunned for a moment, they smiled. “Ohhhhhhhhhhh, here is where you say it is. I forgot. This is one of the thirteen hidden spaces that our Tantai Clan has discovered.”

Gu Jiuxi frowned slightly: “What do you mean?”

Tantai Clan replied, “I told you, this is one of the thirteen hidden spaces that we have discovered. If you go in, it might not be impossible. As long as you hand oveiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, I’ll let you in. ”

Gu Jiuxi was clearly a little angry, but she was injured, and he did not want to be nosy, so after hesitating for a bit, he took ouiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone: “I’ll give it to you.”

Tantai Bufan naturally did not know if there were any hidden spaces in the pillar, nor did he know if it was one of the thirteen hidden spaces he had discovered. He was just testing Gu Jiuxi, and didn’t think that Gu Jiuxi would actually take ouiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. Gu Jiuxi was dressed like a person from a small northern country, and a piece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone was not something that could be casually taken out by such a person. Since Gu Jiuxi could take it out, then he was sure that there really was a hidden space.

“Oh!”

Tantai didn’t get tired of slapping his forehead. “I forgot!”

He smiled apologetically, “Look at my memory, I’m so stupid. There is indeed a hidden space here, one of the thirteen places we have discovered. However, due to the heavy damage they had caused when they first entered, repairs were under way. “When the repairs are done, it will be open to the public.”

Gu Jiuxi’s face was a little pale. “Clearly, I noticed it, but you didn’t notice it before, so you want to take it for yourselves.”

The spectators behind him agreed: “That’s right, I’ve never seen such a shameless person before.”

“I clearly said before, as long as you enter any hidden space that you haven’t discovered. “Why are your Tantai Clan so thick-skinned? You’re even from a big clan in the Great Xi Empire. What a joke.”

“That’s right. If this news spreads out, your family’s reputation will be ruined.”

Tantai Bufan’s face turned cold, “What nonsense are you all spouting? Our Tantai Clan has always done things in the open, fair and open. Since he said there were thirteen, then there should be thirteen. I said this is it, that is it. Why, am I not allowed to forget yet? You people don’t need to be unreasonable. Also, don’t forget that I have the final say here. ”

A person stood up and said, “Since you said that this is one of the thirteen places, you should open it. As long as you can open it, we will admit it. ”

Another person said, “That’s right, that’s right! This hidden space was discovered by others. If you want it for yourself now, it won’t be that easy. Open it, you open it, we won’t go in, but you have to prove that you discovered it before. ”

Tantai Clan’s expression did not change, and laughed, “Didn’t I say it earlier? When the experts of the Tantai Clan entered, they caused too much damage to the interior, causing the hidden space to be extremely unstable, with the possibility of it collapsing at any moment. You are all people of the martial world, of course you all know how dangerous it is to destroy space. If the situation is light, there will be nine chances of death, and if it is heavy, there will be no remains. ”

“Before our Tantai Clan’s elders entered to repair the space, they placed a strict rule that no one is allowed to enter or open the door before it is completely repaired. Even if I am not responsible for you guys, I am still responsible for those seniors who are currently repairing in space. ”

Tantai Clan continued, “So, it’s better if you don’t say anything more. I will definitely not open up this place.” Instead of arguing with me when you have the time, it would be better to just hand oveiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone and step into a perfect hidden space. ”

Gu Jiuxi said: “I was the one who discovered this space, I must enter now.”

An Zheng was a very quiet person with a gentle personality. If it wasn’t necessary, she wouldn’t even quarrel witerson like Tantai Bufan. When she said that he must go in, it must be because her injuries were truly severe, so he continued to use his sharp metal power to repair himself. Perhaps, she had already sensed that someone was going to harm her. However, if they really started to argue, she would definitely be exposed.

An Zheng coughed and walked out from behind the crowd.

“This lord of the Tantai Clan, I would like to ask you a question.”

Tantai didn’t bother to turn around and look at An Zheng. Seeing that he was from a State of Yan, he disdainfully snorted, “If you have something to say, say it, if you have to fart.”

An Zheng was not angry at all, and laughed: “Since there are thirteen open hidden spaces, this place can be considered as one, but this place has been sealed and repaired, which means there are still twelve open spaces, right?”

The lady nodded. “You’re right, what is it?”

An Zheng said: “I don’t want to enter this space, even if it is a new hidden space that hasn’t been discovered, I also don’t want to enter. Think about it, no one has ever been inside this place before. It’s tempting, but it’s dangerous. With my cultivation, I’d probably be dead even if I went in. As such, he might as well enter a space that had been discovered and cleared by the Tantai Clan. Although he needed to hand oveiece of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, what if he met with luck? However, a treasure in the Immortal Palace cannot be measured by the value of a Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. ”

Tantai didn’t get tired of being taken aback. He thought to himself, “Is this guy on my side?”

But he didn’t know her at all, nor did he have any impression of her. If they were, when did they come? Who sent it? Although the Tantai Clan had indeed arranged for a few children to be taken care of, this was definitely not the case.

Although he was not sure, but from An Zheng’s words, this guy should be one of them.

Tantai Tai’s attitude immediately became better. “Brother, your words are really true. All of you have come from small places. It is not that I am looking down on you. This is the truth.” With your strength, even if you found a new hidden space, would you be able to come out alive if you went in? Although we have already cleaned up the space that we found, but what kind of place is this immortal palace? This was a great treasure trove, no one dared to say it was clean. Besides, the harder it was to find something, the more precious it was. Furthermore, treasure is something that is destined to happen. Some people can’t even see it, and some people can’t even see it from a thousand miles away. ”

An Zheng acknowledged: “This big bro is right, so you guys don’t need to cause trouble.”

He looked at Gu Jiuxi: “You’re the kind of person who comes here from a small place to try his luck. Do you have that kind of fate? If you really can’t take out the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, I can lend it to you. “Although I’m not someone from the Da Xi like you, I do have money.”

Gu Jiuxi was so angry that his face changed and he almost attacked. After suppressing them for a while, she prepared to leave. She didn’t dare to stay any longer. If those people caught up to his, the consequences would be dire.

Seeing that he was about to leave, An Zheng took a step forward and stopped him, “You are truly boring. I kindly lent you the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, why don’t you even thank me? Even if there’s no thanks, I should at least say goodbye before I leave. ”

Gu Jiuxi: “I don’t want to go in. I want to go.”

An Zheng waved his hand, “That won’t do, if you leave like this, the Tantai Clan’s face won’t be good either. Since the Tantai Clan dared to open the door to get angry, they wanted fairness and publicity. If you leave like this, everyone will say that the Tantai Clan bullied people. “The Tantai Clan is righteous and upright. You cannot just leave like this. You must give them an explanation.”

Tantai did not get tired of it. “This... “There’s no need for that. If they want to leave, we can’t stop them.”

An Zheng: “No!”

He casually displayed twelve Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s: “I’ll treat him! Just to prove the innocence of the Tantai Clan, open up all twelve of the hidden spaces for him to enter! ”

The expression on Tantai Clan’s face immediately changed. Anger could be seen in his eyes as he said, “So, it turns out that you’re here to cause trouble.”

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders. “No, I’m here to give you spirit stones in all seriousness. Look at how you’re speaking, how could you be so unreasonable?”

Tan Taiche’s face kept changing, now he was really riding a tiger and could not get down.

An Zheng looked at him and said, “If you don’t want to, then I’ll help you.”

He gathered the power of the Heaven’s Eyes in his left eye and looked around. Then, he started to open the hidden spaces, “One, two, three … Eleven, twelve, that’s enough. Eh? Why do I still have more? ”

He turned around and looked, “Including that one, this is the fourteenth one. In other words, I found this one?”

He kept the twelve Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s. “Everyone come quickly, there’s free here!”

Everyone rushed forward.
