Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Star Tower!

Zhou Yu did not speak but was rapidly processing thoughts in his mind.

What kind of trick was this Huo Xing playing?

At this moment, Aza stepped forward to Zhou Yu.

”Brother Zhou Yu, don’t worry. My Uncle Huo Xing keeps his word and is very trustworthy. You can believe him.”

”With me here, everything will be fine.”

Since Aza said this, Zhou Yu naturally did not want to press further.

He nodded.

”Alright.”

Upon hearing Zhou Yu agree, the taut expression on Huo Xing’s face relaxed at once.

”Zhou Yu, this way, please.”

Saying this, he led the way towards the nine-story tower.

Zhou Yu followed behind, discreetly releasing his Divine Sense outward to envelop the nine-story tower. Yet just ten meters from the tower, his Divine Sense could no longer penetrate further.

At that moment, Huo Xing’s voice sounded.

”This Star Tower has been the place where my Starshine Tribe observes the stars for generations. To protect the Heavenly Mechanism, the forebears established forbidden barriers. Even King Realm experts cannot pry into it without permission.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyelid twitched subtly. He promptly withdrew his Divine Sense and continued forward.

However, just as the group reached the base of the tower and was about to enter, suddenly, a sharp eagle cry pierced the air.

The giant eagle from earlier reappeared, flapping its massive wings as it descended into the square.

Soon after, more than ten figures leaped off the eagle’s back.

As these people landed, an overwhelming pressure locked directly onto Zhou Yu.

Feeling the killing intent contained within this pressure, Zhou Yu furrowed his brows. He quickly pulled Yun Feifei and Aza behind him while directing his gaze toward the ten-plus figures.

These individuals, shockingly, were all Early Holy Realm experts.

Leading them was a middle-aged man draped in a black robe.

This person exuded a chilling aura that enveloped him entirely, making it impossible for Zhou Yu to discern his cultivation.

However, behind this robe-clad man, Zhou Yu spotted someone familiar.

The Grand Witch!

At this moment, the Grand Witch, sensing Zhou Yu’s gaze, revealed a cold and mocking smile in his eyes.

Just then, Zhou Yu noticed Yun Feifei beside him trembling violently, her mood fluctuating furiously.

He turned to look, only to see Yun Feifei’s eyes bloodshot, her entire body shaking, her face riddled with murderous intent.

”Sister Yun, what’s wrong?”

Yun Feifei’s voice had transformed, saturated with intense hatred.

”It’s him—Hei Gu!”

Him—Hei Gu?

At this moment, Huo Xing beside them spoke coldly:

”Hei Gu?”

”Why are you here?”

”Haha, Brother Huo, you and I are old acquaintances. Judging by your tone, you don’t seem too welcoming.”

Huo Xing replied indifferently:

”Hei Gu, I have important matters to attend to today, so I cannot entertain you. If you have something, come back another day.”

Hei Gu let out a light laugh.

”Brother Huo, if I’m not mistaken, this person beside you must be Zhou Yu.”

”These days mark the critical moment when our clan opens the ancestral grounds. You defy the Clan Leader’s orders and bring outsiders into our tribe without permission—what is your intention?”

Huo Xing’s expression shifted slightly.

He hadn’t anticipated that Hei Gu would immediately recognize Zhou Yu.

With a darkened face, he replied:

”Hei Gu, what nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t done that.”

”All I know is that he is the Medicine King Valley Valley Master’s daughter’s betrothed. Today, Sun Hachi specifically sent his daughter over with urgently needed medicinal supplies.”

This statement left Zhou Yu momentarily stunned.

Aza, quick on her feet, immediately grabbed Zhou Yu’s arm, glaring at Hei Gu as she said:

”Yes, he’s my fiancé. I brought him here to meet Uncle Huo Xing—is that a problem?”

Hei Gu chuckled again, filled with sarcasm.

”Brother Huo, do you think I’m that much of a fool?”

”Let me tell you something: when my people retrieved the Witch Priestess, this person obstructed us, nearly ruining an essential matter for our clan. Yet today, on this critical day, you invited him into the tribe. Brother Huo, your actions are highly suspect indeed.”

Huo Xing’s face darkened:

”Hei Gu, what exactly do you want?”

Hei Gu sneered:

”It’s simple. The Witch Priestess has completed her Star Baptism, correct?”

”Hand her over to me. Furthermore, personally apprehend Zhou Yu to prove your innocence. Then I can acknowledge you as trustworthy.”

”Otherwise, I can only regard you as a traitor to our Blood Gu Clan.”

”You know what happens to traitors.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Xing snorted coldly.

”Hei Gu, you’re just a mere Dharma King; who are you to pass judgment on me?”

”Where is the Clan Leader? I will discuss this with the Clan Leader face-to-face.”

Hei Gu chuckled lightly.

”The Clan Leader is currently occupied. He has entrusted me with full authority to manage all clan affairs, so you can consider my words as his.”

”Nonsense!”

Huo Xing cursed outright.

”Hei Gu, who do you think you are? How dare you claim to represent the Clan Leader?”

”I warn you: leave here immediately, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Hei Gu burst out in laughter.

”Brother Huo, isn’t your Starshine Tribe skilled in observing stars and deducing fate?”

”Have you not seen that the destiny of the Blood Gu Clan has already changed?”

”What do you mean?”

Cold light flashed across Huo Xing’s eyes.

”What do I mean?”

”Let me make it plain: I know you’ve been harboring suspicions about me for quite some time, haven’t you?”

”The reason I handed the Witch Priestess to you was, on one hand, to gain your trust and stabilize you while allowing her to complete the Star Baptism to open the final condition for the ancestral grounds.”

”On the other hand, I used your divination techniques to lure Zhou Yu here, leading him into my trap.”

Hei Gu appeared immensely pleased with himself.

”I must thank you—you’ve helped me accomplish both tasks.”
