Chapter 309 Bravely Entering the Mayor's Mansion
Gu Yang stood at the gate of the mayor's mansion, his eyes sweeping over the drum stones on both sides.
There are several pieces of jade inlaid on the stone, which has a warm luster and emits a faint halo in the sunlight. It is obviously not an ordinary item.
He secretly sighed in his heart that the mayor's mansion was indeed very grand, even the decorations at the door were so luxurious.
He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the iron ring at the door twice. The crisp sound echoed in the quiet street.
A moment later, the small door next to it creaked open and a thin old man stuck his head out.
The old man had sparse hair, a pointed face, and a pair of small eyes that rolled around with a bit of shrewdness and cunning. He was obviously the doorman of the mayor's mansion.
"Who are you looking for?"
The doorman looked Gu Yang up and down, with a hint of impatience in his tone, as if Gu Yang's appearance had disturbed his leisure.
Gu Yang smiled slightly, his tone respectful yet calm: "I am Gu Yang, and I have an important matter to discuss with the mayor. Please inform him."
The doorman glanced at Gu Yang's empty hands and his face instantly darkened.
He snorted coldly, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "The mayor is very busy and doesn't meet everyone. Go back!"
After he finished speaking, he closed the small door with a "bang". His movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that he did not take Gu Yang seriously.
Gu Yang stood outside the door, his face slightly gloomy, and anger surged in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to ring the door knocker again.
This time, he used a little more force, and the sound of the iron ring hitting the door panel was particularly harsh on the street, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
The small door opened again, and the doorman rushed out with an angry face, pointing at Gu Yang's nose and cursing:
"How can you be so rude? The mayor is very busy and has no time for people like you! Get out of here and don't get in the way!"
He said, waving inside.
Two burly men walked out of the small door. They were tall and strong with muscular bodies, staring at Gu Yang with unfriendly eyes.
The two men had a strong aura and were obviously cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Gathering. Their movements were skillful and it was obvious that they often did such things to oppress the people.
Gu Yang glanced at the two men and sneered in his heart.
He didn't want to fight, but since the other party was so aggressive, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson in etiquette.
"It seems that I need to stretch my muscles today." Gu Yang said in a low voice with a hint of coldness in his tone.
The two big men looked at each other, and one of them walked forward with a smirk, reaching out to grab Gu Yang's shoulder:
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, get out of here and don't force us to do anything!"
However, before his hand touched Gu Yang, Gu Yang suddenly attacked and punched him on the arm.
"Crack——!"
A crisp sound of broken bones was heard, and the big man screamed, fell to the ground holding his arm, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Gu Yang picked him up casually and threw him into a corner like trash, then turned to look at another big man.
The big man's face turned pale instantly when he saw this.
He looked at his companions wailing in the corner, then looked at Gu Yang, his eyes full of fear.
He subconsciously took two steps back and turned around to look for the doorman in front.
However, he discovered that the doorman had already slipped into the mayor's residence through a small door, leaving him alone to face the "monster" before him.
"Master... hero, please spare my life!" the big man stammered, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his voice was trembling so much that it was almost inaudible.
Gu Yang glanced at him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Are you scared now? Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"
The big man waved his hands repeatedly, his voice trembling: "I am blind and don't recognize a great man. I beg you, hero, to show mercy!"
Gu Yang snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to him, pushed open the door of the mayor's mansion and strode in.
The big man collapsed on the ground, covered in cold sweat, and no longer dared to stop.
Walking into the mayor's mansion, Gu Yang glanced around.
The decoration inside the mansion is luxurious yet elegant, with rockery, flowing water, and lush flowers and trees. It is obvious that the mayor is a man who knows how to enjoy life.
However, Gu Yang had no intention of appreciating these things. He had only one thought in his mind - to find the mayor as soon as possible and see if he could find some clues about the formation.
However, things were obviously not as simple as he thought, and someone did not want him to get what he wanted.
The doorman who had just escaped was now standing in the middle of the courtyard with an arrogant look on his face, followed by a team of guards in uniform.
These people were holding long swords and had cold eyes. They were obviously the guards of the mayor's mansion.
The doorman pointed at Gu Yang and screamed, "That's him! He broke into the mayor's house and injured our people! Capture him now!"
Gu Yang swept his spiritual sense around and understood everything.
Among this team of guards, the captain is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the rest are in the late stage of Qi Gathering.
Such a lineup might be considered elite in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Gu Yang's eyes, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"It seems that someone doesn't want me to get what I want. You really want me to die." Gu Yang muttered to himself in a low voice with a hint of coldness in his tone.
The captain of the guard waved his hand, and his men quickly surrounded Gu Yang.
The captain looked at Gu Yang coldly, with a threatening tone in his voice:
"Boy, you dare to cause trouble in the mayor's mansion? You must be tired of living! If you know what's good for you, surrender. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Gu Yang didn't waste any time and took action directly, not even wanting to take out the Soul-Devouring Blade.
He flashed and rushed into the guard team like a ghost.
Even with his bare hands, his movements were so fast that it was dazzling.
Every punch and every kick accurately hit the guards' vital points.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There were several muffled sounds in succession, and the guards flew out like kites with broken strings and fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Yang did not kill them, but just knocked them unconscious and then threw them into the pond nearby like garbage.
The pond was splashing with water, and the guards were floating on the water in all directions, which was a very funny scene.
When the doorman saw this scene, the arrogance on his face froze instantly.
His eyes widened and his legs began to tremble involuntarily.
Gu Yang walked towards him step by step, and every step seemed to step on his heart.
"You...don't come over here!" the doorman stammered, his voice trembling a little.
Gu Yang ignored him and continued walking forward.
The doorman was so frightened that his face turned pale. Before Gu Yang could get close to him, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
Gu Yang shook his head, too lazy to pay any more attention to this doorman who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
He was about to go in when he heard hurried footsteps.
"Stop! What are you doing? It's so noisy and disrespectful!" A middle-aged man's voice came, with a bit of majesty in his tone.
Gu Yang turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe walking towards him quickly.
He had a serious face and a shrewd look in his eyes. He was obviously the steward of the mayor's mansion.
The butler glanced at the guards lying in the pond, then at the doorman who had fainted on the ground. He frowned slightly and spoke with a hint of displeasure:
"Sir, I wonder how my mayor's mansion has offended you to cause you such a fuss?"
Gu Yang cupped his hands, his tone calm but polite:
"I'm Guyang. I had an important matter to discuss with the mayor, but was stopped by the gatekeeper and his guards. I had no choice but to defend myself."
