Chapter 2268: Exactly Like My Third Brother-in-law

Gu Zhiqi walked slowly into the area of the altar. Instantly, a chilling aura struck her, and she furrowed her brow slightly, continuing to move towards the wooden coffin in the center of the altar.

"Watch out on your right!"

Gu Zhiqi had just taken two steps forward when she heard the voices of Su Yunling and Tang Yichen from behind her. She flipped backward, dodging the arrows flying towards her.

After landing, Gu Zhiqi glanced at the two people about to come over. "Stay there and don’t move."

Tang Yichen and Su Yunling stopped in their tracks upon hearing her, staring at Gu Zhiqi intently.

Gu Zhiqi no longer looked at the two, lowered her eyes, and stared at the ground beneath her for a few seconds. Then, she stepped forward again into the altar’s range.

This time, Gu Zhiqi paid attention to her steps beneath her feet.

The ground was set with mechanisms that Gu Zhiqi avoided, and afterward, she safely reached the side of the stone coffin.

The stone lid of the coffin was partially open, and inside lay a woman in red.

The woman’s face was exquisite, her skin pale and cool, with features both delicate and heroic. She wore a phoenix crown and a rosedust robe, with crimson lipstick accentuating the whiteness of her skin.

Seeing the woman’s appearance, Gu Zhiqi was somewhat surprised.

This person looked so familiar, resembling her third brother-in-law almost exactly.

Recalling that her third brother-in-law’s surname was also Feng, Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds. Could it be... this was her brother-in-law’s ancestor?

Before Gu Zhiqi could make sense of it, a gust of wind came at her from the coffin.

Simultaneously, Su Yunling and Tang Yichen exclaimed in unison, "Be careful."

Gu Zhiqi dodged that gust of wind.

However, while retreating, she accidentally triggered a mechanism, and several arrows flew towards Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi made several jumps, leaping away from the altar’s range, and the arrows missed.

Then, the person hiding in the stone coffin appeared, holding someone hostage—the person who looked very much like Feng Qi.

Tang Yichen, upon seeing the face of the hostage, was slightly stunned. This person looked so very familiar; wasn’t he the splitting image of Feng Qi?

In later generations, Feng Qi was a well-known director, and since Feng Qi was also Gu Zhiqi’s brother-in-law, Tang Yichen had met him a few times and naturally remembered Feng Qi.

Only, this woman...

Tang Yichen turned to look at Gu Zhiqi and saw that Gu Zhiqi was staring at the woman, realizing that Gu Zhiqi had noticed the resemblance to Feng Qi.

"Don’t come closer, or I’ll kill..." The person coldly looked at Gu Zhiqi and the others, about to threaten to kill the hostage if they approached, only to realize that they didn’t recognize any of the three opposite.

The man furrowed his brows, "Who are you people?"

Hearing the man’s question, Gu Zhiqi appraised him from top to bottom, discovering that he was the ninth-order ancient martial artist concealed within the Feng Family.

After examining the man, Gu Zhiqi looked at him and asked, "Who are you, then? One of the Feng Family?"

In the Nine Stars City, she should know all Ancient martial artists of the Eighth-Rank and above, yet this man...

She didn’t know him or have any impression of him.

"None of your business." The man replied warily to Gu Zhiqi,

Gu Zhiqi listened, nodded slightly, did not speak further, but continued to regard the man as if examining a corpse.

The man met Gu Zhiqi’s gaze and felt a chill in his heart, "Who are you all, really?"

Although it wasn’t a head-on clash just now, he could tell that the girl across was an ancient martial artist, but he couldn’t discern her cultivation level.

This also meant that the girl’s cultivation level surpassed his.

He was likely not a match for her, let alone the fact that there were three of them.
