Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Governors Residence

  ♂?,,

  The Gong Sun family is also a prominent aristocratic family. Although it has not entered the top-tier families in the entire Tai Xuan Kingdom, the family has produced an earl, a viscount, and several barons. Over the years, the Gong Sun family's mansion has a deep and grand style, with a palace-like appearance that surpasses that of ordinary courtyards.

  Because Gong Sun Fang Yu had to deal with Wang Ting, nearly two-thirds of the strong swordsmen in the Gong Sun Mansion were taken away by them, and those who remained were some martial artist stage guards.

  These guards, led by one or two formal swordsmen, patrolled the entire mansion continuously, looking majestic and impenetrable, but couldn't stop Wang Ting's pace at all.

  "Fei Qiancheng These people must not have expected me to come directly to the Gong Sun family's headquarters. Now, they are probably still arranging Gong Sun Fangyu's funeral and thinking about how to shirk responsibility. When they return to the Gong Sun mansion, it will probably take another hour."

  One hour was enough for Wang Ting.

  "The sky of the Gong Sun family is Gong Sun Jian Ye, the master of swordsmanship. The reason why the Gong Sun family can hold on until now is also because of Gong Sun Jian Ye. As long as Gong Sun Jian Ye stands, the entire Gong Sun family will not be scattered, and at least its influence in the kingdom will not decline by one level."

  In the blink of an eye, Wang Ting's figure had appeared in the inner courtyard. His sixth-stage spiritual power was constantly on high alert, monitoring every move around him. The two hidden sentries had already been stealthily avoided by him.

  Gongsun Jianye is a master of swordsmanship.

  However, Gong Sun Jianye didn't achieve success until he was over 30 years old and had children. At present, his age has exceeded 70!

  This swordsmanship master is not from any famous school, but rather obtained a powerful technique through coincidence and forcibly cultivated it to this level. During his training period, he unknowingly left behind many hidden ailments in his body. Normally, these hidden ailments wouldn't have much impact, but now that he's old, his physical strength, blood, and energy have greatly declined to an extremely low level. In terms of actual power, he may not be much stronger than a peak great swordsman.

  This was also the main reason why Wang Ting dared to come and assassinate this great sword master.

  "Gongsun Jianye, where is he after all!"

  Before long, half an hour had passed.

  In this half-hour, Wang Tingming secretly visited and couldn't find Gong Sun Jianye's whereabouts at all. For a moment, he even had the urge to grab a guard and ask about it, risking being discovered.

  "Huh?"

  Just as Wang Ting was about to put this plan into action, a heavily guarded courtyard appeared in his line of sight.

  Gongsun Jianye was the ancestor of the Gongsun family, and the surroundings were heavily guarded. Under this mindset, Wang Ting quietly appeared outside the courtyard, taking advantage of the momentary distraction of the guards to jump over the wall and enter the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, like a flowing light, he shot into a side house on the side of the courtyard.

  As soon as he entered the side room, Wang Ting knew he had guessed wrong.

  This courtyard was not where Gong Sun Jian Ye lived, but a simple prison used by the Gong Sun family to imprison those who had offended them.

  Shaking his head, Wang Ting was about to leave again.

  Just then, a hoarse and cold voice suddenly came from the weeds in the side room: "Looking for someone?"

  "Hmm!"

  A glint of light flashed in Wang Ting's eyes, like the sharp edge of a sword, instantly piercing through the seal of the pile of weeds and stopping steadily at the speaker's throat.

  However, when Wang Ting really saw the person's appearance clearly, he understood that whether or not he pointed his sword at him was completely useless.

  Before her eyes, the person's clavicle, ankle, and wrist were all pierced by huge iron nails and chains, firmly fixed to the wall behind her. The bloodstains that had congealed on her body emitted a pungent smell of gore, especially on her face...

  That face, had long since lost its human shape, with countless slashes, her appearance was already ruined beyond recognition, to the point where it was impossible to find any place on her face that could be cut again. Even those eyes, which were once considered outstanding, were now filled with a dead air. Her hair, which was originally of good quality, was now scattered and disheveled, making her look like a fierce ghost who had just walked out of the depths of hell, exuding an aura of horror and terror.

  Wang Ting glanced at the woman...

  From her good figure, it can be identified as a woman.

  At this time, he finally understood why he hadn't discovered this person earlier. This woman had already stepped halfway into the gates of hell, and even her heartbeat had become extremely weak. By all accounts, a person in such a state should have been dead long ago, but for some reason, she was still alive, using an unyieldingly strong will to survive in a way that defied the laws of nature.

  "Sword... soon..."

  The woman's voice was still hoarse and barely audible.

  But at this time she was able to say these words already a miracle, Wang Ting naturally would not ask for more.

  After a moment of silence, Wang Ting put away his own sword.

  "I'm looking for Gong Sun Jianye."

  The woman's eyes, which were filled with a dull and lifeless gaze, suddenly had a faint glimmer of light: "When you leave the hospital, turn left... there is a courtyard with an old locust tree."

  "That courtyard."

  The woman spoke and Wang Ting immediately remembered.

  That courtyard, he had passed by from the outside before, but the entire house in the yard looked quite old, even the yard supplies were very ordinary. At first glance, anyone would think that this must be a house for servants to live in, but unexpectedly, Gong Sun Jianye, a noble earl, actually lived in such an ordinary courtyard.

  Wang Ting nodded and turned to leave.

  "Kill them all!"

  The woman spoke in a hoarse tone.

  It was only when she said this sentence that her expressionless face slightly made people feel a hint of human emotions, and know that this person is still alive, with grievances and resentment.

  Wang Ting's gaze swept over the woman, and finally, with a shock of the sword body, the vigor of the thorough heart sword technique burst forth from the sword, causing a slight resonance that shattered the still somewhat thick iron chain into powder on the spot.

  The iron chain that pierced her scapula was shattered, and logically, she should have felt intense pain. However, the woman seemed to feel nothing at all, except for a slight tremble in her shoulder, and there was no expression on her face.

  Next, Wang Tingruo swiftly drew his sword and cut off the four iron chains, freeing the woman. He then dropped a bottle of golden wound medicine.

  Although he knew that these golden ointments could not possibly heal the wounds on the woman's body, which had pierced her pelvis and severed her tendons, he still did it.

  Not for anything else, just to repay the kindness of those who pointed the way.

  After doing all this, Wang Ting did not make a sound, turned around, walked out of the courtyard, and went straight to Gong Sun Jianye's courtyard.
