Chapter 68: The Crisis of the Gu Family
Time passed, and half a month passed in a flash.
From the news that the murderer had been ambushed, the whole of the Juque Sect gradually calmed down, and after half a month of recuperation, many disciples and deacons had begun to slowly forget Zhao Yi's death, and even forgot the murderer who killed Zhao Yi.
All eyes were drawn to the banquet that would take place in three days.
After all, there are extremely rare Holy Body owners in this sect, and they have successfully awakened, which can be regarded as the top priority of Xiling Prison over the years.
Such a grand happy event, of course, the Juque Sect would not hide it, and released the news as soon as possible, preparing to invite the other four major sects of Xiling Prison to celebrate the awakening of the Holy Body Gu Pojun together.
Juque Sect is not afraid that at the banquet, someone secretly kills Gu Pojun.
Because just the day before the banquet was held, a strong and terrifying aura suddenly rose from the forbidden land behind the Juque Sect, and even manifested a purple lotus flower that covered the sky and the earth, with nine petals blooming, and the spiritual light flowed, containing extremely abundant energy.
Medium-grade natural war spirit, covering the lotus!
Soon, the news that the Third Elder Huaishan had broken through the pass spread far and wide, and the Juque Sect shook up and down.
The three elders who had been in retreat actually stepped out of one of them, no doubt to protect the Gu Po Army from any harm to the first owner of the Awakened Holy Body that the Juque Sect had received since the opening of the sect.
It's just that many disciples are a little puzzled, except for the movement of the three elders when they leave the customs, there is no news coming out.
Is this just a faΓ§ade for the Honzong's demonstrations?
Night fell again, and the faint moonlight shrouded the entire Sanshui Pavilion, becoming more and more cool and quiet.
On the first floor, Gu Feng sat cross-legged and quiet, his eyes slightly closed.
As Gu Feng breathed and breathed, the Gathering Spirit Jade Seal suspended above his head absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in all directions, emitting a milky white light, and turned into a trace of white airflow, pouring directly into the Bailing Acupoint, turning into a pure true element, filling the sea of qi.
In just a few moments, the true yuan in Gu Feng's Qi Sea reached a fairly full level.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Feng flipped his palm, and immediately took out a few bottles of treasure medicine from the Starlight Ring, such as 'Qi Condensing Pill', 'Juyuan Pill', etc., without exception, they were all one-star treasure pills that could quickly replenish the true yuan in the body.
Because next, Gu Feng was planning to impact the quenching body ninefold!
After a month of hard work, Gu Feng had already touched the barrier to breakthrough, but he was constantly compressing, and did not choose to break through.
It wasn't until tonight that Gu Feng made up his mind not to suppress it anymore and was ready to be promoted to the ninth level of quenching.
After all, tomorrow I have to participate in the banquet of the Juque Sect to celebrate the awakening of the Holy Body of the Gu Po Army, and I have a little more strength and a little more certainty.
This breakthrough in cultivation did not have any obstacles, and it was a matter of course, but it only consumed all the pills in Gu Feng's hand that he was able to successfully break through the shackles.
Quenching the body ninefold!
Gu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of starry eyes were radiant.
Secretly feeling the majestic true yuan in the sea of qi, it was more than twice as strong as the quenching eightfold, Gu Feng couldn't help but shake his palm, and the corners of his mouth raised a mysterious arc, "It's finally ......"
With a nine-fold cultivation of quenching the body, Gu Feng is also full of confidence.
Now that he is finally proud of all the warriors or fighters in the Quenching Realm!
After all, Gu Feng was able to kill Zhao Yi who had a ten-fold quenching body in the eightfold quenching body, and now that he had reached the ninth level of the quenching body, the true yuan in the sea of qi was full, if he met a martial artist or fighter with a ten-fold quenching body again, no matter how many came, Gu Feng would be able to deal with them one by one.
The current Gu Feng is obviously qualified to compete with all the geniuses of Xiling Prison!
The night passed quickly.
The next day, wisps of golden rays fell from the clouds and shone on the Twelve Elements Palace of the Juque Sect, blooming with a glittering golden light.
Especially in front of the Great Red Hall on Qingwei Peak, the magnificent square was full of all the disciples and deacons in the sect.
All of them were very orderly, standing in two rows, while stretching their necks, looking forward to something.
And among these disciples and deacons, a welcoming red carpet leads directly from the square to the Great Red Palace, undoubtedly preparing to welcome distinguished guests.
In the hall, Lin Xiongtu sat on his head and closed his eyes.
Under Lin Xiongtu's left hand, there were four elders, Mo Nianpei, Ling Tongming, Cai Yi and Zhao Muhua, and under the right hand stood Lin Weiwei, Lin Zheng and Gu Pojun.
Everyone was silent, each thinking about something.
Finally, after waiting like this for half an hour, a voice with a procrastination cavity came from outside the hall, mixed with the cheers of many disciples and deacons, one after another, deafening, "The Sect Master of the Holy Sect has arrived! In order to congratulate the awakening of the Holy Body, 100,000 gold coins, 10,000 spirit stones, 10,000 three-star treasure medicine jade corals, and 100 bottles of two-star treasure medicine Dingshen Pill are specially given. β
Lin Xiongtu slowly opened his eyes, without any hesitation, he stood up directly and walked towards the outside of the hall, "Come with me to greet you." β
"Yes. β
The four elders, as well as Lin Weiwei, Lin Zheng and Gu Pojun, responded one after another, and then walked out of the Great Red Hall with Lin Xiongtu.
The two glazed chariots from the Saint Sect had already stopped in the square, and the moment Lin Xiongtu and the others walked out, the four figures also walked on the red carpet.
Among them, the two people in the front are a middle-aged man with a clean face and an elegant scholar.
Beside this man, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman with a clever smile, Murong Wan'er!
"Brother Murong. β
"Brother Lin. β
As soon as Lin Xiongtu and the middle-aged man made eye contact, they both laughed knowingly.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Murong to be the first to come, I was really flattered. Lin Xiongtu laughed and stretched out his hand to signal, "Come, Brother Murong, go sit inside first." β
"Brother Lin is still doing something so politely with my brother, it's not the first time I've been here. Murong Jishi also laughed.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Brother Murong will take a seat first, wait a while, and I will accompany you again. Lin Xiongtu looked at Cai Yi with a smile, "Elder Cai, take Brother Murong to the seat." β
"Haha, okay, you get busy with your first, and you won't get drunk and go home. Murong Jishi waved his hand at Lin Xiongtu, and under the leadership of Cai Yi, he walked directly into the Great Red Palace.
As for Murong Wan'er, behind her were two old men with yellow hair and yellow robes and withered yellow faces, who did not follow Murong Jishi into the Great Red Palace, but directly found Lin Zheng, and did not say too much to greet, and asked straight to the point, "Senior Brother Lin, where is Gu Feng?"
"Senior Sister Wan'er, what's the matter, you're in such a hurry to find Brother Feng, but it's interesting to Brother Feng?" Lin Zheng joked with a smile.
"Senior Brother Lin. Murong Wan'er's expression was a little solemn, and she frowned, "Senior sister is looking for him because the Gu family has been in a bit of a situation recently. β
"Gu Family?"
Lin Zheng's face was straight, but he didn't ask too much about the reason, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you come with me, today is a good day, and Brother Feng should also be out of the customs." β
"He's been in retreat?" Murong Wan'er, who followed Lin Zheng to Sanshui Pavilion, said curiously.
"That's right, since Brother Feng entered the sect, he has spent most of his time on cultivation, and he is really a cultivator. β
Lin Zheng responded, his footsteps suddenly paused, and in Murong Wan'er's puzzled eyes, he laughed first, "Senior Sister Wan'er, your luck is really good, you were just about to find Brother Feng, but Brother Feng himself appeared." β
"Where is he?"
Murong Wan'er also walked out from behind Lin Zheng, looked up, and saw Gu Feng standing among the many disciples at a glance.
Immediately, Murong Wan'er walked quickly towards Gu Feng.
At this moment, two glazed chariots descended from the sky, accompanied by a congratulatory sound, resounding throughout the square, and five or six figures walked down from the chariots one by one, "The Great Elder of Flower Butterfly Valley is here!
Flower Butterfly Valley!
Gu Feng, who was standing in the crowd, heard these three words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a delicate figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, without saying a word, he quickly raised his head and looked at the five or six figures walking on the red carpet.
It's just that soon, a look of disappointment flashed on Gu Feng's face, and he sighed lightly, "I thought you would come too......"
"Gu Feng!"
Murong Wan'er had already come behind Gu Feng and shouted directly.
Gu Feng frowned slightly, feeling that this voice sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he couldn't help but turn around, and when he saw that it was Murong Wan'er, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "It's you! Why didn't you go into the Great Red Hall with your father, but came here instead?"
Regarding Murong Wan'er's identity, Gu Feng also learned about it in a conversation with Lin Zheng.
Therefore, seeing Murong Wan'er appear on the chariot of the Saint Sect just now, Gu Feng was not surprised.
"There's something I want to talk to you about. Murong Wan'er spoke, as if she was afraid that Gu Feng would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, "It's about the Gu family." β
The ancient family?
Gu Feng's spirits perked, "You say." β
"A month after you entered the Juque Sect, the Li family and the Zhao family officially allied, and your Gu family also allied with the Qin family. β
Murong Wan'er said slowly, "After another month, the Li family didn't know how to find out that your Gu family was secretly mining the Earth Source Fire Vein. Therefore, the Li family and the Zhao family planned to snatch this earth source fire vein. The current Qingshan City, the whole body is affected by a hair, the city is full of wind and rain, and the Li family and the Zhao family are afraid that they will make a move in the near future, so when do you find a time, go back and have a look. β
Regarding the alliance between the Li family and the Zhao family, Gu Feng had already guessed, but it was completely expected by himself, and he didn't react much.
Instead, when he heard the Earth Source Fire Vein, Gu Feng's eyes immediately narrowed.
If Gu Feng is not mistaken, before he left the Gu family, he had told Gu Heshan and Gu Qingyang about the Earth Source Fire Vein, and Gu Heshan secretly sent Gu Xian to secretly mine the Earth Source Fire Vein, if there was no accident, it would definitely not leak out.
But now, the Li family actually knew about the existence of the Earth Source Fire Vein?
Obviously, the Gu family has a traitor! Secretly tell the Li family about the Earth Source Fire Vein!
Otherwise, how could the Li family possibly know that the Gu family was secretly mining the Earth Source Fire Vein?
