Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#141 - Chapter 141 Soul Magic and the Threat of War

After Wang Wendao finished speaking, Su Yuanzheng's expression worsened.

His words were essentially accusing Wu Wei of harming Gu Changqing.

But Wu Wei didn't seem to care, and instead, he laughed.

"Are you... accusing me?"

"Accusing me of kidnapping Gu Changqing during the Lord's Trial?"

Wu Wei stared intently at the middle-aged man, Wang Wendao, with his crimson vertical pupils.

The man's data began to be analyzed and transferred into Wu Wei's vision.

"Sorry, I have no interest in kidnapping a piece of trash."

"Especially a super-trash with the Gu family name."

Wu Wei had a very poor impression of Gu Changqing during the trial.

However, this wasn't because he was his enemy; Wu Wei didn't hate any enemies.

The only reason he loathed Gu Changqing was that he was too weak as an enemy.

"So, your ugly face is blocking my way to the auction house."

For some reason, Wang Wendao, who had originally come to question Wu Wei, suddenly felt a strange sense of fear under the gaze of Wu Wei's peculiar eyes.

It was as if a twisted existence, both evil and dark, had seized a corner of his soul.

This inexplicable fear made him tremble involuntarily.

But this was the real world, and Wang Wendao quickly recovered.

"Don't be agitated, Mr. Wu Wei. Please forgive my incorrect wording just now."

As a relative of the Gu family, Wang Wendao seemed unconcerned that Wu Wei had just told him to get lost, and instead, he was very magnanimous.

But this was a lie. In Wu Wei's vision, some of Wang Wendao's data was rapidly increasing.

His anger towards him was rising, and rising quite significantly.

"After all, our Gu family has just lost an heir, and everyone in the Gu family is in a state of impatient negative emotions, so the wording is inevitably a bit extreme...."

"Your Gu family?"

Losing patience and unwilling to entangle with him any longer, Wu Wei narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, I thought you were surnamed Wang and had nothing to do with the Gu family."

As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Wendao, but also Su Yingxue and Su Yuanzheng, as well as the staff member who brought the three of them into the auction hall, had extremely ugly expressions.

Because the Gu family was a clan, and Wang Wendao had first introduced himself as a relative of the Gu family.

Therefore, in this world that valued reputation so much, as long as he said so, even if those who knew this looked down on him, they had to regard him as a member of the clan, regardless of his original surname.

This was an unspoken rule in this world.

In this situation, Wu Wei's words were no different from directly scolding him as a dog of the Gu family.

This behavior was not only very rude and impolite but also a provocation directly aimed at the Gu family.

It should be known that this statement was not only directed at him but also at many powerful lords with different surnames who had joined the clan.

Although discrimination against "outsiders" always existed within various clans.

Internal family discrimination was one thing, but discrimination from outside the family was another.

"What... did you say? Say that again if you dare!"

Wang Wendao roared, his face almost twisted to the extreme. Wu Wei's words had just uncovered the most untouchable scar in his heart.

"You want me to repeat it?"

"I said, I thought you were surnamed Wang and had nothing to do with the Gu family."

Wu Wei smiled and repeated what he had said before.

At this time, everyone in the entire auction house heard Wang Wendao's roar and turned their attention here.

It should be known that the Linjiang City Auction House was royal property, and they hadn't seen anyone making trouble in the Royal Auction House for a long, long time...

After countless gazes swept over, Wang Wendao calmed down strangely.

"Mr. Wu, it doesn't matter how much you look down on me personally, because I'm here representing the entire Gu family."

"And the reason I came to you was originally just to friendly ask you to provide some simple help."

"Help?"

Wu Wei sneered.

"You didn't look like you were asking for help just now."

"Again, I apologize for my rudeness just now, but I still hope that you can go to our Gu family's territory in the next two days or so."

"The Gu family's territory?" Su Yuanzheng heard this and became instinctively alert. "Are you referring to the territory within the Lord's Era? What do you want Wu Wei to do there?"

The Lord's Era was different from reality. In the real world, Wu Wei was not at any risk.

But it was not the same in the Lord's Era, because although lords like Wu Wei had data-ized bodies that seemed not to need to eat, drink, or sleep, they were actually in more danger than in reality.

Because after the Lord's Trial ended, if a lord died in the Lord's Era, then they would really die.

Every year, countless lords died because of war, conspiracy, and hostile forces.

"Don't misunderstand, our Gu family really doesn't want to harm Wu Wei!"

"We just want to use a demigod magician who is proficient in soul magic to scan Mr. Wu Wei's soul to see if he is lying and what he did to Gu Changqing."

"Soul magic?!"

Su Yingxue was shocked and said in disbelief.

"No, I absolutely disagree!"

"Because even the most powerful soul magic controller will uncontrollably damage the soul of the person being cast upon, in a way that can never be repaired!"

For Su Yingxue, whose command included various types of magicians, soul magic was the most evil and terrifying type of magic.

"If it's just soul damage, that's one thing, but once the soul is controlled by someone else and a soul imprint is left, then the person being cast upon will be the other party's slave for life!"

"More importantly, once the person being cast upon's soul is exposed to the soul magician, then all their thoughts and secrets will be grasped by the other party."

"So, I absolutely disagree with your request, Wu Wei, you must not agree!"

Su Yingxue looked at Wu Wei and said anxiously.

"But no matter what, the last person to see Gu Changqing was Mr. Wu Wei, and most importantly, the two of them were in an antagonistic state during the Lord's Trial!"

"You should know that, in theory, it's impossible to directly kill or bind any new lord in the Lord's Trial, but there are a large number of secret items and strange spells in the Lord's Era that can bypass the Heavenly Dao system to do this."

"This has happened in history, and I believe you must know that too."

"Although using soul magic will indeed cause a little insignificant damage to Mr. Wu Wei's soul."

"But our Gu family must ensure that Mr. Wu Wei is not the mastermind behind Gu Changqing's disappearance!"

"So, I'm sorry, only soul magic can completely restore the truth and ensure Mr. Wu Wei's innocence!"

"Just like you said, in front of a soul magician, no secret is a secret anymore."

Although Su Yingxue exposed the essence of soul magic, Wang Wendao still said the following words without changing his expression.

"In fact, including internal members of our Gu family, many people who had contact with Gu Changqing in the twenty-four hours before his disappearance have accepted soul magic exploration in our Gu family's territory, and Mr. Wu Wei is the last one on the list."

"These people are currently safe and sound and have no problems."

"Mr. Wu Wei, I hope you understand the importance of this matter."

"After all, this is very important to our Gu family!"

Wang Wendao said extremely seriously.

"Our Gu family will use any means to find the truth about Gu Changqing's disappearance, no matter who the other party is!"

"I hope you can understand and provide a little help for us to find the truth."

This was a naked threat.

But after hearing this, Wu Wei instead revealed an evil smile.

"You actually want to threaten me, using threats to bring me to your family's territory?"

"Because I'm still very willing to go there. Of course, my only purpose in going there is to bring the demons under my command to your family's territory!"

"I really want to see what level of trash a family that produced a piece of trash like Gu Changqing and tried to cultivate him into an heir can be."

"I also want to see how long your trash family can struggle in front of my army?"

Not only Wu Wei, but Su Yuanzheng also stood in front of Wu Wei and said to Wang Wendao.

"Go back and tell your Gu family's head that Wu Wei is a member of our Su family guild."

"He will not accept your Gu family's bullshit soul magic. If you insist on doing so, then be prepared to fight a bloody battle with our Su family guild."

"It just so happens that your Gu family has occupied this rare family qualification for far too long."

"It's time to let someone else sit in the chair under your ass."

Hearing what Wu Wei and Su Yuanzheng said, Wang Wendao's expression calmed down a lot.

"Okay, I will tell your two replies to our Gu family's head."

"I hope you won't regret it."

After saying that, Wang Wendao, whose request was rejected, left here.

To be honest, he couldn't believe that the Su family guild would use war to threaten the Gu family because of Wu Wei, an adopted son.

This was a deviation from their previous estimate. After all, according to their intelligence, Wu Wei was just an adopted son.

Gu Changqing was the Gu family's designated heir, and his status was vastly different from that of Wu Wei, an adopted son.

It was normal for the Gu family to go crazy over Gu Changqing's disappearance, but it was a bit incomprehensible for Su Yuanzheng to risk war with the Gu family, which was stronger than his own, for Wu Wei.

But more than this, what Wang Wendao couldn't understand the most was why Wu Wei, a new lord, dared to use the word war to threaten their Gu family?

Even if the Gu family was weakened, it was still a clan.

And a new lord facing an entire clan was no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

Why did the other party dare to issue such a war threat?

And what puzzled him even more was that Wu Wei didn't seem to be just threatening.

His appearance just now...

It seemed that he really wanted to start a war with the Gu family and invade the Gu family's territory!

But how, how was this possible?

Was he crazy?

Wang Wendao recalled Wu Wei's evil eyes and thought so.
