Chapter 1371 — Making Things Difficult

Jin Wudi gave a scornful laugh, patted his chest, and planted himself in the middle of the villa courtyard. "Go ahead and hit me. I'll let you hit me. Let's see if you can beat me to death! Ignorant boy, have you ever heard of the Golden Bell Shield?"
"No." Er Goudan answered quite honestly. "I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds pretty powerful. Still, I think I could beat you to death all the same."
Er Goudan's words at once drew a burst of laughter from everyone present!
Zhen Yingjun and Zhao Qibing laughed the loudest and merriest of all. Zhen Yingjun was not a man of the aristocratic families and cared nothing for their rules, while Zhao Qibing came from a hidden family and cared even less. The Xiao brothers, on the other hand, with Pi Zhifeng and Zhao Qibing both looking on, did not dare laugh too wildly.
Pi Zhifeng, however, was a reserved man. Though he had come this time to lend Jin Wudi his support, he was not the sort to wear his feelings on his face! Besides, he was a man in the know. The two Pi family men could not be called top masters, but for them to be killed so easily by Wei Zhao's men proved one thing. Pi Bo's death back then had been no accident. Even if Gou Huli had not driven her car into him, he likely would not have lived much longer.
Since Wei Zhao and Er Goudan were so formidable, where on earth had they come from? Could they truly have come from some ancient sect or ancient family? With Pi Zhifeng's standing, he had never even heard of these two men. They could not have sprung out of thin air, could they?
So before he had that point settled, Pi Zhifeng would betray no attitude at all.
If even Jin Wudi proved no match for them, then he would have to endure it for now and return to the Pi family to make long-term plans. If those two really had come down from the ancient level, then for the Pi family to make enemies of them would be to poke a hole clean through the sky!
In the eyes of the ancient sects and ancient families, the hidden families truly counted for nothing. After all, those people had masters at the peak of the late Heaven Rank!
"Fine, then this old man will let you strike. If you cannot beat this old man to death, this old man will wipe out your whole family!" Jin Wudi looked at Er Goudan with mockery. Truly, ignorance made a man fearless. He had never even heard of the Golden Bell Shield, yet he dared to lay hands on him!
Not far from the Gu family villa, a black shadow was anxiously speaking into a phone.
"Elder Li, this is Shadow Thirteen. Jin Wudi has come down the mountain, but I have watched here for days and seen no trace of Wei Zhao. He seems to have gone away on a long journey, leaving only one of his underlings here to protect the little miss. Now Jin Wudi has come knocking, and he is threatening to carry the little miss away!" The shadow's voice was hurried.
"What! How is Jin Wudi so fast?" Elder Li on the other end of the phone was plainly startled. He had never expected Jin Wudi to come down the mountain and come knocking in only a single day! He had meant to warn Wei Zhao through the Shadow Group so he could prepare or lie low for a while, but the other side had given him no time at all.
"What do we do now? Shadow requests support!" Shadow Thirteen said. "Both sides are at daggers drawn, but from what Jin Wudi says, the little miss will be safe for the moment. He means to seize her for Zhen Yingjun to sport with, so if help comes in time, she can still be saved!"
Elder Li was burning with anxiety at this moment, yet he was utterly helpless. Over these years, his grip on the Dark Night Palace had grown weaker and weaker, with all power concentrated in the hands of the Supreme Elder. He could control only the Shadow Group, and the Shadow Group cultivated a light-footed art meant for hiding and gathering news, not for attack.
Yet apart from the Shadow Group, Elder Li could mobilize no other men at all.
