Chapter 689: Yao Family
However, what Su Chen was most concerned about was Gu Qianyin's state just now. The fighting power that Gu Qianyin had just burst out could actually freeze and kill an eighth-level strongman in the Lingtai Realm instantly. This kind of fighting power was really terrifying.
Even Su Chen was sincerely surprised by the fighting power that suddenly burst out from Gu Qianyin's body.
After Su Chen recovered a little from his injuries, he asked, "What happened to your fighting power just now?"
Gu Qianyin's pretty face blushed slightly, and said, "Just now I thought you were dead, and I didn't know what happened. Suddenly, a string in my brain seemed to be broken, and I lost my mind."
"I don't remember what happened later."
"When I came to my senses, it was already like this."
"Can you still exert the power you just had?" Su Chen asked.
Gu Qianyin tried it and shook her head: "I can't use it anymore."
Su Chen hummed: "You have some kind of power, but I'm not sure whether it's a special bloodline or something else."
Gu Qianyin hesitated and said: "Is my black sea of true essence related to this?"
"Yes, it should be." Su Chen said, "Can you still enter that state now?"
"No." Gu Qianyin shook her head.
After a moment of silence, Gu Qianyin suddenly seemed to be worried, and her white hands were tangled together, and she was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"No... nothing, I was just thinking, was I still me at that time? At that time, I felt that my body was not my own, as if my body was occupied by another person." Gu Qianyin said.
Su Chen pondered, Gu Qianyin's situation was indeed a bit strange, her strength could suddenly increase so much, and she didn't have the memory of that time, such a situation was indeed very rare, and even he couldn't tell what was going on for a while.
Seeing the deep worry on Gu Qianyin's face, Su Chen comforted her: "Don't worry, I will find out what your physical condition is."
"Yeah."
Gu Qianyin hummed softly, and her expression gradually became lively, like ice and snow melting, and her beautiful eyes turned back and forth on Su Chen.
Suddenly, she rolled her eyes at Su Chen.
"Just now I thought you were really dead."
"Didn't I say that I won't die that easily." Su Chen shrugged and added, "And I won't let a woman die for me."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not going to die for you." Gu Qianyin blushed. She didn't expect that Su Chen had caught her mental state when she thought she was going to die just now.
Su Chen smiled and stopped bickering with Gu Qianyin. This girl is actually a bit clumsy, not as eloquent as Li Shitong, and bickering with her is bullying her.
"Go and look through that old guy's body."
Su Chen changed the subject and talked about business.
Gu Qianyin nodded, walked to the old man who was frozen into an ice sculpture, and pushed him with his hand. The old man fell straight to the ground like a piece of rotten wood.
Gu Qianyin used a long sword to pick up the old man's clothes and searched for a while, and exclaimed softly: "There is a token here."
As she said, Gu Qianyin took the token and showed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it and saw that it was a bronze token with an ancient "Yao" character engraved on it.
Apart from this, there were no other marks on the token. However, this "Yao" character reminded Su Chen of something.
"The Yao family, one of the eight ancient families in Dongzhou?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully.
Of course, Dongzhou is so big, there is more than one family with the surname Yao. However, since this old man is at the eighth level of the Lingtai Realm, he cannot be from a small, unknown family. Therefore, the Yao family, one of the eight ancient families, is the most likely.
"I didn't expect that Prince Rui and the Lin family are also involved with the Yao family?"
Su Chen pondered, and his knuckles tapped unconsciously on the token. This is interesting.
You know, the royal family of the Yunyuan Empire is a branch of another of the eight ancient families, the Liu family, which means that the Liu family is equivalent to the backstage of the Yunyuan royal family.
The Liu family has always been at odds with the Yao family, and there are often frictions between the two sides.
Therefore, the people of the Yao family, logically speaking, should not appear on the land of the Yunyuan Empire.
If Prince Rui really colluded with the Yao family, this matter would be very intriguing.
To put it in a broader sense, Prince Rui is equivalent to betraying the Yunyuan royal family.
"It seems that the old man of the Yao family is very confident that he can kill me. He even carries a token that reveals his identity."
Su Chen smiled. Under normal circumstances, the eighth level of the Lingtai Realm might indeed pose a great threat to his life. But who would have thought that Gu Qianyin would suddenly burst out with power at the critical moment?
"Prince Rui did not do it himself, but asked the Yao family to kill me. He must have thought that as long as this was done, things would be easy.
