There is a small island in the sea off Jieliang County, Zezhou, called Guojia Island, which is the residence of the Guo family.

At the beginning, Fengyuan Guo was one of the top families in Guannai, but it was a pity that the Guangming Sect had an incident, Tongzhou was still the base camp of the Guangming Sect, and the Qian family, which was in the same state as the Guo family, had been wiped out by the Guangming Sect, and the Guo family was also unable to resist the Guangming Sect soldiers, so they only waited for the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Suzhou.

Guo's luck was very bad, Guo only stayed in Suzhou for more than a year, and was defeated by the Bright Sect, and had to take refuge in Wang Shuo, who was once a top family in the Guan, but had been reduced to relying on others to survive.

Although the Guo family was unlucky and suffered a catastrophe, the Guo family still has a certain background, there are three congenital grandmasters, and there are many acquired martial artists.

After Yunyi established the country and ascended the throne as emperor in Guannai, the major families in Guannai were driven to overseas islands by Yunyi, and Guo's was no exception, and Guojiadao became Guo's place of residence.

Guojia Island is not bad, the island area is "big" enough, calculated by the land area of the island, self-sufficient, at most can accommodate no more than 15,000 people, the Guo family is already less than 2,000 people, of which one-third of the ordinary people live on the land of Shenzhou, and the remaining two-thirds have only moved to Guojia Island.

At the beginning, the Guo family and other family heads agreed to move to overseas islands, the most important reason is that the warriors live on the islands, the martial arts enter the country faster, and the island can open up a medicine garden, the warriors and the medicine garden are the two most indispensable things for the family, and force is the fundamental reason why a family continues to pass on.

As the major families moved to overseas islands, the major families slowly learned some secrets of the Great Qin Empire, such as a large number of medicinal materials growing on some islands, including many high-vintage medicinal materials, and Yingzhou, which was simply a fairyland, if only they could also obtain such a state island.

At that time, after knowing those secrets, the major families all started to think carefully, and the benefits were huge, perhaps the Yun clan was able to unify the Guannai in one fell swoop because of Yingzhou, and if they could get a state island, it was possible to replace the Yun clan in the future.

The Guo family is one of the most active.

It's just that in the form at that time, the major families were unwilling to fight against the Yun clan who had already controlled the pass, if they joined forces, it was "possible" to defeat the Yun clan, but they would also pay a heavy price, and even the entire family would die out completely, it was better to recuperate temporarily, and in the years of war, the major families also suffered heavy losses.

Secretly, though, some of the families are closely linked.

The overseas island is indeed a paradise for warriors, even if the major families do not have many high-grade medicinal materials in their hands, the strength of the major families is also recovering rapidly, of course, the recovery speed of the major families is far less fast than the increase in the strength of the Yun family, and the strength of the Yun family will be equal to the sum of these families in the future.

Year after year passed, and the major families learned that the Great Qin Empire had discovered another state island, and now the major families couldn't sit still.

A Yingzhou makes the weak Yun clan become the first family in Guannai, if the Yun clan digests Xuanzhou again, then they, the former top families in Guannai, can only submit to the Yun family forever, how can this be, even during the period of the Dali Empire, the major families did not surrender to the Fang family, and even the position of the emperor was controlled by the major families.

The major families naturally did not want to be pressed by the Yun family all the time, and the "overseas" families dominated by the Guo family began to be active again.

After determining the news of Xuanzhou, the high-level Guo family on Guojia Island frequently gathered together to discuss, and only a few people in the high-level Guo family did not approve of Guo's dealing with the Yun family, and the Guo family was likely to fall into the abyss if it continued.

As a result, under the orders of Guo Dong, the head of the Guo family, those high-ranking officials who contradicted his opinions were cut from power, and the Guo family actively contacted other families under the leadership of Guo Dong.

Among the seventeen overseas families, the Guo family directly excluded the Shangguan family.

Although in the war, the Shangguan clan suffered heavy losses, and all the innate grandmasters in the clan were killed in battle, but the two daughters of Shangguan Hongbo, the head of the Shangguan family, one is the emperor and the other is a concubine, and the Shangguan family can be called the second family of the Great Qin Empire.

Excluding the Shangguan family, the Guo family contacted the other fifteen overseas families, but they did not expect that the two Wang family, the Murong family, the Sun family, the Mengshi family, the Li family, and the Hu family, all rejected the Guo family in different ways, and only the other eight families had more or less the idea of dealing with the Yun family.

After getting the result, Guo Dong was taken aback, are the major families willing to be pressed by the Yun family all the time?

No one is stupid, especially the Wang family and the Murong family, because of the relationship between Wang Shuo, the Wang family and the Murong family know more about the Great Qin Empire than the Guo family, and know that the combined power of the Yun family and the Eight Meritorious Families has surpassed that of overseas families, not to mention that the Yun family still controls the army, the Great Qin Empire. The firearms that the army is equipped with are something that even the innate grandmasters can't resist.

Wang Shuo once warned the Wang family and the Murong family that they must not go against the Yun family, and going against the Yun family would only be a dead end, even if Wang Shuo himself didn't know the real strength of the Yun family, no one knew how many things the Yun family was hiding, just like when the Yun family suddenly broke out, defeated one family after another, and finally unified the Guannai.

There are only nine overseas families that are interesting to deal with the Yun family, and in the end, it is not clear how many families can really make a move against the Yun family, Guo Dong understands that even if the nine families are united, their strength is not enough to deal with the Yun family.

In order to deal with the Yun Clan, the Guo Clan also needed to unite more forces, and in the end, Guo Dong thought of the sect forces in the Great Qin Empire.

The family and the sect hardly communicate, if it weren't for the dragon slaying knife and the Yitian sword causing a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, maybe Guo Dong would not have thought of the sect.

Years of war have made the strength of the sect higher than that of the family, even if the family has been recuperating in the past ten years, its comprehensive strength is not as good as the sect, if it can cooperate with the forces of the sect, maybe it will have the strength to fight against the Yun clan.

Thinking of this, Guo Dong asked Guo's manpower in Guannai to secretly contact the major top sects in Guannai and reveal to them the situation in the open sea.

The sect is also very in need of medicinal materials, and there have been many times when two sects have fought because of a medicinal herb that is hundreds of years old, and the situation in the open sea is revealed to the sect forces, and it is more likely to obtain the support of the sect forces.

The first sect force that the Guo clan contacted was the top demon sect in the Guannai, and the sect leader of the Demon Luo Sect showed a devouring look in his eyes after receiving the information of the Guo clan.
