Ancient realm, ancient Yuan residence.

As soon as Gu Yuan and Yan Ember finished speaking, they saw a member of the Black Smoke Army of the Gu Clan quickly walk in, and saluted respectfully: "Patriarch, Lord Black Smoke King asked the villain to come over and ask, if you are free here, please go to the conference hall." ”

Gu Yuan nodded, waved his hand and said, "You go down first, and this seat will go over later." ”

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The members of the Black Smoke Army gave up their hands and turned to leave.

After leaving, Yan Ember also got up and smiled: "Since Brother Gu has something to do, then I will go back first, and our two clans will keep in touch at any time." ”

"Okay, I'll send Brother Yan!"

Soon, after Ember left, Gu Yuan also headed in the direction of the conference hall.

At this time, the ancient clan meeting hall.

The three immortals of the ancient clan, and Gu Lie, the king of black smoke, have been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as they saw Gu Yuan, the four of them hurriedly saluted.

Gu Yuan waved his hand, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked at Gu Lie and asked, "Elder Gu Lie, if you have anything, just say it!" ”

"Patriarch, I think we need to bring Xun'er back." Gu Lie arched his hand.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan frowned, then looked at Gu Lie and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Xun'er is now studying at Canaan College, and there are people around to take care of her, so what does it matter if she can't pick it up? ”

In fact, since he decided to form an alliance with the Yan Clan against the Xiao Clan, Gu Yuan didn't want to take Xiao Xun'er back, because he didn't know when the Soul Clan would be found by the people of the Xiao Clan.

And at that time, it was when the battle broke out, and at this time, it would be even more dangerous for her daughter to come back, so it was better to let her continue to stay in Canaan Academy.

After all, Canaan Academy is strictly calculated as ThunderClan's territory.

And the Thunder Clan did not get involved in the affairs between the Emperor Clan, so he could stay out of the matter, even if the Gu Clan was defeated in the end, he could still ensure the safety of his daughter.

Looking at the expression on Gu Yuan's face, Gu Lie also thought about it for a moment, and soon understood his thoughts.

He sighed and said, "Patriarch, I am also for the safety of this girl, but our people found out that the Xiao clan sent the disciples of the clan to Canaan Academy many years ago.

Although I don't know what their plans are, I must have other ideas when I think about it, after all, in terms of the cultivation environment, the Xiao Clan's Spirit Gathering Array is the most suitable place for cultivation on the Douqi Continent, in terms of the guidance of famous teachers, it's not that I look down on Canaan Academy, any elder in the Imperial Clan will not be worse than the teachers of Canaan Academy.

Therefore, I don't think it's a wise move to let Xun'er stay in Canaan Academy, and besides, if we really start a war with the Xiao Clan, I'm afraid that Canaan Academy will also become a dangerous place in an instant.

Once the Xiao clan is really forced to be anxious and take Xun'er, then we will be passive, Xun'er is the only bloodline of the patriarch, just in case, I think we should bring Xun'er back before we and the Xiao clan have turned their faces, and eliminate this trouble. ”

If it were other clansmen, Gu Lie would definitely not mention these at this time, but Xun'er is really different, although he has not yet tested the power of the imperial bloodline in her body, but judging from his previous perception, the power of the bloodline in her body must be of high purity.

Such a genius girl is Gu Yuan's only bloodline, if she is really caught by the Xiao clan, she will be in trouble in the future.

On the main seat, after listening to Gu Lie's words, Gu Yuan frowned again, he really didn't know that the Xiao clan actually sent a member of the Xiao clan to study at Canaan Academy.

"In that case, then take her back, Elder Gu Lie will arrange this." Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Yes, the patriarch can rest assured and ensure that Xun'er will be brought back safely." Gu Lie said respectfully.

After saying this, Gu Dao on the side arched his hand and said, "Patriarch, in addition to taking Xun'er back, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

The words fell, and the other two also set their eyes on Gu Yuan.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan nodded and said calmly: "Elder Gu Dao may as well say it directly, although I am the patriarch of the Gu clan, you are also the Optimus Pillar of the clan, so we don't need to be so polite between us." ”

"What the patriarch said is that this is the case, the spies in the clan in the outside world have sent back news, and after I have analyzed it, I think I should let the patriarch know.

It is rumored that the reason why the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan formed an alliance with us was because they were instructed by the Xiao Clan, and the purpose was to break into our alliance, as long as the alliance was found to be unfavorable to the Xiao Clan."

However, without waiting for Gu Dao to finish speaking, Gu Yuan laughed, and then waved his hand to interrupt: "This news is fake at first glance, we are waiting for the imperial family, how mysterious?" Even the first-class forces in Zhongzhou don't know about our existence.

Not to mention that there is such news, if the news within the Emperor Clan can be known by others, I am afraid that the Xiao Clan has already begun to make a move against the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan, where will they wait until now? ”

Gu Yuan is not a fool, so naturally he will not believe such news, after all, as he said, the imperial family is very mysterious, how can people from the outside world know about it?

Moreover, even if this is the case, why hasn't the Xiao clan done anything to the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan yet?

He didn't believe that the news that the Gu clan spies could know on the Zhongzhou Territory Realm, and that the Xiao Clan's so many powerful Heavenly Machine Towers were distributed throughout the Douqi Continent, would not know this news.

Obviously, this is a fake.

Just when Gu Yuan was already determined, he heard Gu Dao sigh and said: "Patriarch, if it's just such news, we naturally won't believe it, but the rumors from the outside world are true, and they also accurately state the time, place, and who else will come to the Gu Realm to form an alliance with us."

In addition, this news originally spread in the realm of the Shi Clan, and the person who said the news was the grandson of an elder of the Shi Clan.

In this way, the news cannot be ignored.

Also, Patriarch, with the Xiao Clan's style of acting, if he knew that the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan had really betrayed them, how could Xiao Tiance not act at all?

Just like what the patriarch said just now, if the Xiao clan knew that the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan were really betrayed, why would they wait until now to do something against them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuan's face changed instantly, if what Gu Dao said was true, then there were only two possibilities, first, the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan did not really want to ally with them at all, but to break into the interior and obtain information to pass on to the Xiao Clan.

Second, the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan are indeed sincerely allied with them, but there are internal ghosts in the Shi Clan, and the news has been leaked.

But no matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for their alliance between the ancient clan and the Yan clan.

"What do the two Supreme Elders think?" Gu Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Patriarch, this matter is very troublesome now, and we can't judge it at all before the Xiao clan makes a move.

Moreover, Xiao Tiance has always been scheming, maybe after learning the news, he was already planning something, but we didn't know it. ”

"Yes, there are two possibilities now, one is that the Spirit Clan and the Shi Clan are sincerely allied, but the news has leaked, so after this news spreads, the Xiao Clan will definitely have got the news, and it is very likely that they will do it immediately.

The other is that the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan are pretending to form an alliance, which is really sent by the Xiao Clan to find out the internal news of our alliance, which is also the worst result, which means that our alliance only has our clan and the Yan clan, if this is the case, then when the Xiao clan starts a war against the soul clan, we must not only guard against the Xiao clan, but also need to guard against the Shi clan and the spirit clan. ”

After the two finished speaking, Gu Yuan nodded in agreement.

At this time, Gu Lie said in a deep voice: "There is another possibility, I'm afraid it will be worse, the Xiao clan plans to destroy us first, and then start a war with the soul clan."

Once this is the case, that is the most troublesome, originally the main target of the Xiao clan is the soul clan, and we can still drag them behind our backs.

But now that the Xiao Clan's target has turned to us, the Soul Clan will not stand up to help us deal with the Xiao Clan on its own. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Lie's expression was solemn, he looked at a few people, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "The strength of the Xiao clan is not comparable to that of a single emperor clan, from the news that came back after the juniors of our clan married into the Xiao clan, the number of the Xiao clan's Dou Shengqiang is estimated to be more than two hundred.

Moreover, after we become the main target of the Xiao Clan, will we be able to resist the first wave of attacks of the Xiao Clan?

In addition, what is even more terrifying is that once the Yan clan repents and does not stand with our clan, we alone will not be the opponent of the Xiao clan at all.

At that time, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for us, and there is even a risk of extinction. ”

"Boom!"

These words were undoubtedly like a bomb thrown into the calm lake, instantly setting off turbulent waves in the hearts of Gu Yuan, the three immortals of the Gu clan and others, and they could not calm down for a long time.

Several people looked at each other, if the final result was really like this, then the ancient clan would really be finished.

For a while, the conference hall was extremely quiet, and everyone did not speak for a long time.

If Xiao Tiance knew that just one piece of news could make Gu Yuan and the others so anxious, maybe he would applaud.

In fact, this is just that the strength is not as good as others, if the strength of the Gu clan and the Xiao clan is really as strong, Gu Yuan and the others will not be so afraid.

After a long while, Gu Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Everyone's words, this seat has listened to it in my heart, and I don't rule out this possibility."

However, don't worry too much for the time being, my clan and the Xiao clan are in-laws, and the ancestors and the Xiao clan have also been friends for generations, and they have a love for incense.

Moreover, we are just trying to protect ourselves, and we don't really want to be enemies of the Xiao family.

As for the rumors outside, I think that we should brake with static and respond to all changes with no change is the best policy.

Regardless of whether the Shi Clan and the Spirit Clan really agreed to the alliance or pretended to agree to the alliance, since we can't be sure, let's look at the attitude of the Xiao Clan.

Before the Xiao clan does not make a move, we must not clash with them, our clan is different from the Shi clan Spirit Clan, they were previously vassals of the Xiao clan, and it was not us who instigated them to betray the Xiao clan, in this matter, even if Xiao Tiance is uncomfortable in his heart, he will not do anything to us because of this matter.

In addition, on the Yan Clan's side, the same is true, everything will wait for the news from the Xiao Clan's side to make a decision. ”

When the words fell, the four of them all felt that this made sense, after all, their relationship with the Xiao clan was really good before, if it weren't for the worry that after the Xiao clan destroyed the soul clan, the next one would have done something to them, and when Xiao Tiance invited them to destroy the soul clan together, they would have been united a long time ago.

It's a pity that things in the world are often always one wrong step, one wrong step, and the position from the beginning determines that the ancient clan must go from this step.

Unless, they are willing to be inferior and directly look at the head of the Xiao clan.

But walking with a tiger is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and who knows what will happen in the next moment?

"What the patriarch said is very true, if this is the case, then I will take Xun'er back first, and wait for the Xiao clan to make some moves." Gu Lie arched his hand.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, this time I went to pick up Xun'er back, if you meet someone from the Xiao clan, you must not conflict with it, after all, at this time, we can't give the Xiao clan any excuse to do something to us." Gu Yuan nodded, and then admonished.

"Don't worry, the patriarch is just taking Xun'er back, and he won't have any contact with the people of the Xiao clan." Gu Lie gave up and turned around to make arrangements.

After he left, Gu Yuan also got up to leave, because of the rumors, his heart was very irritable at the moment, so he needed to be quiet.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yuan, Gu Dao looked at his somewhat lost back and sighed: "What an eventful autumn, I didn't expect that my dignified ancient clan would need to worry about whether it would be wiped out one day, what a shame for my ancestors!" ”

"Hey, let's go, I hope everything goes well."

But it is said that Zhongzhou, the headquarters of Tianjilou.

Xiao Qing looked at the news reported by his subordinates, and the corners of his mouth instantly hooked up a smile.

After reading the scroll in his hand, a flash of flame suddenly flashed in his hand, and all the scrolls were burned in an instant.

"Lord Tianluo, the fish is about to take the bait!" Xiao Qing smiled.

"Hehe, it's expected, but don't be careless, although Gu Yuan has a weak temperament, don't be in a hurry, now that the seeds of doubt have been planted, let's implement the second step.

To deal with the betrayer, we must always push them into a desperate situation step by step, and then slowly hunt them, we must make them more and more afraid, and finally die in despair is the best revenge for them. Tianluo smiled.

"What Lord Tianluo said is that since the fish is about to be hooked, then let's continue to muddy this pool of water for him, and give him a little more stimulation, I think that the fish will panic, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest." Xiao Qing also said with a smile.

Hearing this, Tianluo nodded, then slowly poured Xiao Qing a cup of tea, and then smiled: "Time is enough, in order to be able to fight and do our best, we must take our time."

It's still what I said before, you can't be in a hurry, after all, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, after all, it's the imperial family, it's really urgent, and it's not good for people to jump over the wall in a hurry. ”

"Lord Tianluo, don't worry, I know in my heart, since the first step of the plan is successful, then I will move on to the next step." Xiao Qing said respectfully.

"Okay, it's up to you.

In addition, if nothing else, after everything is resolved, it will be when you become the patriarch of the Xiao clan, Qing'er should not let your third uncle down! ”
