Chapter 696: The Person in the Portrait!

"Elder Huang Ming is joking. Our Mercenary Guild has never thought of dominating anywhere. Besides, there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Central Plains. Who knows, there might be an old monster hiding in some corner!" Liu Ling waved his hand.

When he heard Liu Ling talking about the old monsters and crouching tigers, a strange color flashed in Huang Ming's eyes, and he asked again: "President Liu, can I ask you something?"

"Oh, ask about something, Elder Huang Ming, just say it!" Hearing Huang Ming's words, Liu Ling didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

As Liu Ling's voice fell, Huang Ming's palm gently stroked the ring, and then a rolled-up scroll appeared in his hand.

Huang Ming slowly spread out the scroll, and suddenly, a portrait of a middle-aged man in white appeared in the eyes of Liu Ling, Tianhuo Zun, and Bai Changshou.

"Master? Why do people from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan have a portrait of Master?"

"Brother Gu?"

Seeing the man in the painting, a strange color flashed in the eyes of Liu Ling and Tianhuo Zunzun.

Huang Ming, who was slowly spreading the scroll, did not notice the change in Liu Ling's eyes. At this moment, he looked at Liu Ling and asked in a serious tone, "President Liu, I wonder if you recognize the person in the scroll!"

Hearing Huang Ming's words, Liu Ling focused his eyes on the scroll, pretending to observe and recall carefully.

At this moment, Liu Ling still didn't know why people from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan had Gu He's portrait, and what the purpose of looking for Gu He was. Moreover, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan was quite famous, and there must be top masters in the clan. No matter from which aspect, Liu Ling would not foolishly reveal the news of Gu He to them.

After staring at the portrait of Gu He on the scroll for a second or two, Liu Ling slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I've never seen him before?"

Hearing Liu Ling's answer, Huang Ming did not show any disappointment on his face. He looked at Tianhuo Zun and Bai Changshou beside Liu Ling and asked with a smile, "Do these two Zun know the person in the portrait?"

"No!"

"No, I've never seen him before!"

Hearing Huang Ming's question, Tianhuo Zun and Bai Changshou both shook their heads.

Bai Changshou really didn't know Gu He, so he shook his head, while Tianhuo Zun followed Liu Ling's instructions and lied to the people of the Tianyao Huang clan.

The three people in front of him said that they didn't know Gu He, and Huang Ming still didn't show any disappointment. This result was already within his expectations.

Before this, the people of the Tianyao Phoenix Clan had asked some of the major forces in Zhongzhou that were related to them, hoping that they would help find out Gu He's identity. The former Fenglei Pavilion Master Lei Zunzhe was one of them, but after a series of inquiries, no one knew Gu He.

This time, the reason why Huang Ming and Feng Qing'er came to find Liu Ling was because they were attracted by the huge network of people in the Mercenary Guild.

The number of members of the Mercenary Guild can be said to be the largest in the entire Zhongzhou force. No force can compare with the Mercenary Guild in terms of number.

If the Mercenary Guild helps to find a person, the efficiency will definitely be very high.

"Elder Huang Ming, I wonder which master is painted in this portrait, and why Elder Huang Ming wants to find him?" Liu Ling showed curiosity and wanted to ask the reason clearly.

"This person is..."

Hearing Liu Ling's question, Huang Ming was about to answer, but he stopped after saying two words.

Seeing that Huang Ming was unwilling to tell the reason, Liu Ling deliberately showed a bit of anger on his face, and said lightly: "Elder Huang Ming, do you not trust Liu?"

"This..." Seeing Liu Ling's reaction, Huang Ming frowned slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed. He did not expect Liu Ling to have such a big temper. The atmosphere in the field suddenly became a little subtle.

Sensing the atmosphere in the field, Feng Qing'er standing behind Huang Ming suddenly tried to smooth things over and said: "Elder Huang Ming, President Liu is a friend of my clan. Maybe my clan will have to work closely with President Liu in the future. It's okay to tell President Liu about these things!"

Hearing Feng Qing'er talking about the fact that the Tian Yao Huang clan will have to work closely with the Mercenary Guild in the future, the hesitation in Huang Ming's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Well, this matter is not a secret. President Liu is a friend of my Tian Yao Huang clan. It's no big deal to tell President Liu..."

Huang Ming paused here and glanced at Tianhuo Zun and Bai Changshou who were standing next to Liu Ling.

"Haha, Elder Huang Ming, these two venerables are definitely trustworthy. If Elder Huang Ming doesn't want them to hear, you can just tell Liu!" Liu Ling said loudly.

"No, no!"

Hearing Liu Ling put the words on the table, Huang Ming waved his hand and said seriously: "President Liu, the man in the portrait is a strong man who has reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng. This man is an enemy of our clan, but our clan does not know his specific identity. However, I think that since this man is a human and has the strength of a two-star Dou Sheng, he cannot be an unknown person. Therefore, I plan to find President Liu and want President Liu to mobilize the powerful manpower of the mercenary guild to help investigate..."

"The great enemy of the Tianyao Phoenix Clan!"

"Master, he is really a big shot!"

After hearing what Huang Ming said, Liu Ling suddenly became curious. He didn't know when his master had made enemies with the Tian Yao Huang Clan, and even made the people of the Tian Yao Huang Clan look for him everywhere.

"Brother Gu is actually a two-star Dou Sheng!"

On the side of Tianhuo Zun, he finally heard from others about Gu He's strength. He had originally thought that Gu He would be very strong, but he didn't expect him to be that strong. At this moment, he also knew that the Tian Yao Huang Clan and Gu He were enemies.

"Two-star Dou Sheng!"

After Huang Ming finished speaking, Liu Ling and Tianhuo Zun quietly exclaimed, expressing their shock.

"President Liu, the two venerables, you don't have to be so surprised. A two-star Dou Sheng is not a threat to our clan. There are many stronger than that man in our Tian Yao Huang clan. It's just that this man is slippery. Last time, our clan's supreme elder was careless and let this man escape!" Looking at the reactions on the faces of Liu Ling and the other two, Huang Ming explained, "This time, I came here just to ask President Liu to help check this man's identity and location!"
