Chapter 366: Intentions (Fourth Update)
On the small square next to the council hall, the flow of people continued to gather, and when Chu Tian arrived, there were already many clansmen around, all talking in low voices, with a trace of uneasiness on their faces.
Soon after the people gathered, a deacon entered the council hall, and Chu Feng came out soon after.
Seeing that the patriarch came forward in person, the discussion was much quieter, and everyone felt a little at ease, I have to say that since Chu Feng served as the patriarch, he has not lived up to the expectations of the clan, and he is still very prestigious in the clan, which can be seen here.
As soon as Chu Feng raised his hand, the scene immediately calmed down, thousands of clansmen were here, and the audience was silent. He cleared his throat and began to speak.
"If you are careful, you may have noticed the abnormality in the clan, and you should have something to know in your heart. I won't hide it from you here, indeed, the Gu family has not only sent someone again, but has also arrived in Split Rock City, and is now in the city. β
Chu Feng's words were shocking, and the scene that had been calm down had a tendency to boil again, and many clansmen looked at him in disbelief, and their faces couldn't help but become ugly.
The Gu family sent people again, what a big deal, why didn't they inform them until they entered the city, did they not get the news now, what are the people sent out by the clan doing in the past few days?
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Feng still had some prestige in the clan, this sentence alone would be enough for some people to jump out and accuse.
Chu Tian didn't say a word, just stared at Chu Feng, knowing that he would have something to say.
Chu Feng didn't have a chaotic situation for too long, and immediately explained: "You don't need to panic, according to reliable information, there are only seven or eight people from the Gu family who came this time, led by an elder named Gu Zhentian, don't panic, he is a martial artist of the Huagang Realm, and he is the only one in the Huagang Realm of the Gu family's trip." β
Hearing this, the faces of the people of the tribe were much soothed, and some patted their chests, and let out a long breath in their mouths, as if their chests had been removed from an extremely heavy mountain.
Chu Tian's eyes lit up, and sure enough, the family had already gotten the news.
I just don't know how this news is so detailed.
He thought about it, could it be that this matter was related to the giant axe auction house, could it be that this auction house with a mysterious origin actually had the means to investigate the Gu family clearly.
Except for some elites who have reached a certain level, ordinary clansmen are convinced of this, and in their eyes, the family has great powers, and they do not have any suspicions about the source of news.
"The strength of the Gu family's trip this time is far less than the last time, so we deduce that it doesn't look like they are attacking our clan. Of course, with this bit of strength, even if they are enemies of us, they must have no return, do you have this confidence?"
Chu Feng directly said the inference of the high-level people in the clan to eliminate the panic of the clansmen, and the last sentence of agitation was a necessary means of encouragement for every patriarch.
"Yes. The fighting spirit of all the clansmen was high, and they responded in unison, and many voices gathered together, like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Their eyes were steadfast, and their eyes were full of conviction of victory.
Chu Tian also responded, and in the silver pupils, there was a scorching heat. No matter who comes, he will protect the family to the end.
After all, this is the place where he was born and raised, and it is also the hometown where Feiyang fought for his precious life and also had to protect, and it must not be tarnished by outsiders in the slightest.
Of course, most people knew at this time that among the people who came to attack the Gu family last time, there was the existence of a powerhouse in the Ning Dan Realm, but the result was miserable, and he was slashed by Chu Yun with a sword.
Even the Ning Dan Realm has been cut, just a Huagang Realm is a fart, even if the Gu family is famous, if they want to eat their family, at least they have to send a stronger Ning Dan Realm.
With just one Huagang Realm, even if it is a leader at this level, it would be too whimsical to want to destroy them, if several Huagang Realm in the clan come forward at the same time and put down their faces to encircle and suppress, this person will definitely die, and the others have not yet cultivated this way, so it is naturally a piece of cake.
"As for the motives of the Gu family, they are still under investigation. But I don't think anything is a big threat to us. After several discussions with several elders, I agreed that as long as they don't come to offend, then don't pay attention to it, and if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Chu Feng continued.
The people of the clan nodded again and again, it is best to maintain the status quo, although they are the head snakes of the land, they will not have nothing to do, but they are looking for trouble with those people, which is to force the Gu family to start a complete war against them.
In any case, the anger of the Gu family is not so easy to bear, and it is best not to provoke it.
Chu Tian also nodded secretly, the most important thing now is to maintain this balance, if it is really a big trouble, I am afraid that half of Bailing County will be turned upside down, he will not be naΓ―ve to think that the Gu family, as a big family that has been famous in the county for hundreds of years, will only have that one in the Ning Dan Realm.
Chu Feng calmed the emotions of the clansmen, and since entering the council hall, although the Gu family did not send heavyweights over this time, how dare they slack off in this kind of thing, he and other high-level officials have been busy in the past few days, holding meetings every day, formulating countless plans, as well as emergency filings, and remote command of the people sent out.
In fact, as early as the people of the Gu family entered the 100-mile radius around Split Rock City, they were discovered by their people, some flying pigeons rushed over, and some people shot rockets to warn, but the high-level officials of the Chu family had said in advance that if they were not attacked, they must not strike first.
The Gu family's trip was also to restrain the arrogance of the past, even if they found that someone was watching, they didn't pay attention to it, they just moved forward on their own, the people sent out by the Chu family had met with the Gu family, but they had nothing to do with each other, and after looking at it from afar, they did their own things, and they didn't interfere with each other.
Therefore, the team of the Gu family entered the city safely. Otherwise, the people sent out by the Chu family are not vegetarians, even if they are defeated, they will not turn their eyes and let the other party enter the city unscathed.
Chu Feng entered the hall, leaving some deacons to do the rest of the work, some people asked the deacon for further questioning, some people questioned it, and entangled with the deacon, of course, more people went back to their own homes with peace of mind.
Chu Tian also returned to his courtyard. If there is only one Huagang Realm, there is no need to care too much, but he will not take it lightly, even if he wants to enter the house to continue to forge his soul, he must also let Xuanlin keep an eye on the outside world, and if something happens, he can also notify him in time.
"Is there any news coming back?" Chu Feng entered the hall, sat down at the table, and looked at the three elders to ask.
"Not yet. The three elders replied.
Since the Gu family entered the country, there were white pigeons flying back to the sky above the Chu family from time to time, but since these people entered the city, the sky above was calm, however, at this time, there was a white shadow flying fast to slow down, but it was a pigeon with pure white feathers, landing in a small courtyard not far from the council hall.
Someone in the courtyard caught the pigeon, untied the letter tied to a pigeon's paw with a string, and hurried into the council hall with the unopened letter.
The letter fell into Chu Feng's hands.
Chu Feng opened the envelope, unfolded the letterhead, glanced at the ten lines on it, and then handed the letter to Chu Yun beside him, and then circulated it among other high-level officials.
"What do you think, what the hell is the Gu family doing?" After the high-level people finished reading, Chu Feng looked around at everyone and asked.
"After entering the city, he didn't have a conflict with us, but he ran to this Chen Martial Arts Hall, with the temperament of Chen Kangan, he saw the Gu family, and he was not scared to pee, this guy is really pitiful. The three elders gloated.
The Chen Clan Martial Arts Hall is a well-known martial arts hall in Split Rock City, its owner Chen Kang'an is not bad at repairing, he is a master in the late stage of the Yun Qi Realm, the Chen Clan Martial Arts Hall is barely a first-class force in the city, but Chen Kang'an's conduct is very much despised by the three elders.
This person is extremely slippery, stronger than himself, flattering, never offended, even if the power is equal, he also advocates that peace is precious, and there is nothing to do with each other, but if he is weaker than them, then he will be bullied according to death.
The most embarrassing thing was to bully the head of the Cao Clan Martial Arts Pavilion as a peer, and the cultivation shown by its owner Cao Ren was in the middle of Yunqi, so Chen Kangan felt that he was sure to eat the other party, so he deliberately found fault and came to provoke.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ren didn't know whether he had hidden his strength, or if he had recently made a breakthrough, and he also broke out of his cultivation in the later stage of Yunqi, relying on a more vigorous desire to attack, he beat Chen Kangan to a big pig's head, and went back with a blue nose and swollen face, and recuperated for a while.
People who paid attention to this incident felt that from now on, these two martial arts halls would inevitably become mortal enemies, after all, Chen Kangan and Cao Ren had such a conflict.
As soon as Chen Kangan recovered from his injury, he brought a heavy salute and came to the door in person, lowered his posture, and apologized to Cao Ren.
Although the two sides have had discord, they can reach out and not hit the smiling person, Cao Ren is embarrassed to make any more calculations, back and forth, the two martial arts halls have actually formed a good friendship, with the character of the three elders, they naturally scoff at this.
Thinking of what happened to Chen Kang'an, even the second elder couldn't help laughing, but he still straightened his face and said to the third elder: "Brother, don't be joking, let's get down to business first." What is the meaning of the Gu family's move? What is the purpose of this move, this is something we need to think about. β
Hearing this, all the high-level officials in the venue fell into deep thought.
Soon, the four elders furrowed their frowns, and a hint of joy appeared in their eagle eyes, and they took the lead in opening their mouths.
"Everyone, I think I know the Gu family's intentions. β
