Chapter 2: Family Alliances
In the front hall, there were several strangers standing, led by a young man in white, who was Bai Cangsong.
Seeing Gu Tianfeng coming, Bai Cangsong sneered in his heart, but said, "Brother Gu, how are you doing lately?"
Gu Tianfeng said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you don't have anything to say, get out." ”
Without giving face so directly, Bai Cangsong's face changed, and he sneered: "Gu Tianfeng, I came this time to convey the words of the alliance leader. ”
"Two days later, all the families in Baiyun Town must unconditionally send strong people to participate in the family alliance level assessment, if they don't come, they will be deemed to have given up, and the family level will be automatically downgraded by one level. ”
After speaking, Bai Cangsong looked at him with a sneer, and a hint of abuse flashed in his eyes.
"Gu Tianfeng, your Gu family is thin, and you will be born as a martial artist in ten years, besides, with your ninth-level cultivation the day after tomorrow, do you think you can still stay in the second-level family power circle?" Bai Cangsong smiled coldly, and said: "I heard that yesterday you hit the innate realm again, the result seems to be a pity, still failed, the impact on the innate realm has to be a blow, you have failed one after another, I'm afraid there is no hope of entering the innate realm, don't you think about the way back for the Gu family?"
Gu Tianfeng stared at him, his fists creaking.
He is right, continuous failure is not only a psychological burden, but also a physical limit burden, and there is no prospect of breaking through the innate realm.
"Let's make a deal, I have always admired Tianling, as long as you marry Tianling to me, the Bai Gu family is a marriage family, with the status of my Bai family in the second-level family, it is easy to help you stabilize in the second-level family power circle, and even help you break through the acquired realm is not a problem, how?" Bai Cangsong smiled, clearly persuading, but it was actually a threat.
The situation of the Gu family is well known, ten years ago, they barely relied on Gu Aoyun's prestige during his lifetime to support it, however, today, ten years later, the family level assessment has begun, and the Gu family is really dangerous, and no one can resist the temptation of advancing to the innate realm.
After all, the Innate Realm is a powerhouse sitting in a second-level family.
It's a combination of hard and soft.
"You dare to hit my sister's idea!!" However, Gu Tianfeng was angry, and squeezed out this sentence fiercely, and the reverse scales were touched, and no matter how good his mood was, it would instantly turn into a roaring sea.
He understands his sister Gu Tianling's heart, she is so arrogant and indifferent, sometimes she doesn't even give her own face, even if she dies, she will not agree to marry Bai Cangsong, besides, the Gu family and the Bai family are mortal enemies.
He stared at Bai Cangsong, his fists clenched, his eyes were infinitely murderous, and he really wanted to kill Bai Cangsong with one palm.
Bai Cangsong was calm, and the two people behind him hurriedly protected him behind him, and the real power in his body was surging, and they were all congenital realm powerhouses.
The real force turned into an invisible pressure, so that Gu Tianfeng couldn't take a step forward, and even bent his knees, and he was about to kneel.
Beads of sweat rolled down Gu Tianfeng's forehead, this was the innate realm, and the horror of true power made his soul throb.
"Stop. Bai Cangsong snorted and said lightly: "Brother Gu, why bother, marry Ling'er to me, it's good for you and good for me." ”
Gu Tianfeng sneered and said, "Is there still a small number of families in your Bai family who rely on coercion and temptation to swallow it? What are your ideas, you know best yourself, you are dreaming of wanting to annex the last essence of my Gu family." ”
After all, the Gu family is a former third-level family, and naturally there is a Zhen clan heritage, although the Gu family has collapsed, however, the last heritage is still there, and Gu Tianfeng is very clear.
Under the continuous suppression of the Bai family, the Gu family held on, Gu Tianfeng naturally would not hand it over, Bai Cangsong was so overwhelming, arousing Gu Tianfeng's deep hatred, the strong made the rules, and the weak obeyed the rules, he clenched his fists, bit the pass, and swore silently in his heart.
"You're not confused. Bai Cangsong smiled coldly, he naturally wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Indeed, if the Bai family can have today's status, isn't it still obtained by annexing other families by various means?
The so-called marriage, perhaps valuing Gu Tianling is only a small part of the reason, the main thing is that it is because of the profound heritage of the Gu family.
", it makes me sick to see you. Gu Tianfeng waved his hand as if chasing flies, with a look of disgust.
"You can only move your mouth, what a powerless resistance?" Bai Cangsong laughed shamefully, and finally said coldly: "You rejected me today, after the family level assessment, your Gu family will be destroyed, and Gu Tianling will not be able to escape." With that, he took his servant and laughed wildly and walked away.
Gu Tianfeng's eyes were cold, however, the abnormal state of mind instantly calmed the anger in his heart, and said softly: "In this world, weakness is also a sin. ”
The night was misty, and Gu Tianfeng stood in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky at night.
In fact, he himself didn't know where the Gu family's heritage was, Gu Aoyun's death was too hasty, although Gu Tianfeng knew that there was a Zhen clan heritage, but he didn't know what it was, let alone where it was.
However, this is not the most important thing at the moment, if you can't break through, the Gu family can't even stay in the second-level family power circle, and will definitely be demoted to a first-level family, and the Gu family will die like a wolf and a tiger around.
Gu Tianfeng was worried and tried his best to resolve this crisis, however, many people regarded the Gu family as a fat sheep, waiting for the family level assessment, and the Gu family was slaughtered after falling into the first-level family.
Therefore, no one will help him at this time.
Everything can only be done on your own.
"The Gathering Spirit Pill is exhausted, and more importantly, my practice seems to have gone wrong, and the journey has been smooth, but it has stopped at the innate realm. Gu Tianfeng looked at the night sky with his hands behind his back, and said: "No matter what, it's too late in time, this is a mortal situation, I can't break through, and the Gu family will inevitably fall." ”
The acquired family, also known as the first-level family, the strongest of them is not the ninth after tomorrow, and the upper family does not even recognize their status as warriors, because they have not condensed their true power, at most they are reckless men with greater strength, therefore, the status of the acquired family is very low, and if they want to survive, they can only become vassals.
"Could it be that the Gu family is destined to become a vassal of others and finally be annexed by others?" Gu Tianfeng couldn't accept this.
That's when it happened.
"Young master, where are you, I have an urgent report, which is about the family level assessment. Behind, an old voice came, and Yang Bo walked slowly.
Gu Tianfeng turned around and said, "Oh? ”
Uncle Yang was a little anxious, and stepped forward and said, "Young Master, the family ranking battle the day after tomorrow seems to be a little different. ”
"Huh?" Gu Tianfeng frowned and said, "What's different?"
Yang Bo said: "That's right, it was originally a ten-year family ranking battle two days later, but there was a small change because of the intervention of the imperial army. ”
"Imperial Army?" Gu Tianfeng was stunned.
Baiyun Town belongs to the Vast Imperial Dynasty, belongs to a small town on the side, and there is a royal army stationed, anywhere, the imperial dynasty is the most influential force, even the third-level family does not dare to disobey the emperor.
"That's right, it's a coincidence that the family ranking battle and the dynasty's decennial conscription were actually on the same day, so the army and the family alliance cooperated, and the family ranked battle and the imperial conscription day were softened together and held at the same time, and the date was also changed, unified three months later. Yang Bo said.
"Hmm, what you said is true?" Gu Tianfeng's face showed an extremely wonderful expression.
After three months, don't you say that you still have three months?
However, seeing his high morale, Yang Bo was worried, because conscription is not just a literal meaning of pulling a few strong men, but is very serious and bloody.
The Imperial Dynasty has the best and most resources above all the family sect forces, and the imperial army is also the strongest force in the entire vast imperial dynasty, and every soldier has been carefully selected, and they are all elite disciples of a certain family or sect power.
With such an advantage, any family wants their disciples to enter the army and get more cultivation resources, it is conceivable that the battle of conscription is absolutely dangerous and abnormal, this danger is not only an internal strife, but also from the outside, and the assessment of the imperial dynasty to recruit soldiers is also very strict and cruel.
First, participants must be at least ninth-grade and must not be over 30 years old. Second, during the conscription assessment, life and death are at your own risk.
The first article alone has blocked countless people, after all, the ninth-level powerhouse of the day after tomorrow is definitely the mainstay of each family, and the innate powerhouses are all born here.
More importantly, the second article is the conceit of life and death, and the reason why there is this article is because the assessment of conscription is life-threatening.
"Young master, I think we're still..."
Without waiting for Yang Bo to finish speaking, Gu Tianfeng raised his hand to stop it, and said seriously: "I know, but this is my last chance, the survival rate of the imperial conscription is less than half, however, if I give up, then the family alliance will naturally regard my Gu family as giving up this family level assessment, then my Gu family will fall into the first-level family, which must not be tolerated." ”
He has continued to cultivate penance since he stepped into the martial arts, and there are joys, sorrows and despair on the way, the aura of genius and the ridicule of Jiang Lang's talents, but he came over for something, not to restore the glory of the ancient family.
This kind of behavior of fleeing without a fight, Gu Tianfeng can't do it, and he won't do it.
"However, young master, the imperial conscription is too dangerous, and even if you can advance to the innate realm, the people who participate are all the proud sons of the heavens of the major family forces, and even many of them are characters who have been based on the innate realm for many years, and you have no chance of winning if you fight with them. Uncle Yang didn't want him to have an accident, so he tried his best to persuade him: "Young master, you don't have to take this road to restore the glory of the ancient family, you have been smart since you were a child, you can do business with the second lady, and you have the ability to never forget, you can also follow the literature and participate in the imperial examination, and you will definitely be able to shine." ”
Indeed, the vast dynasty is a country, not only needs warriors to defend the country, but also needs the ability to govern the country, and becoming an official from a civil servant is also a way out.
However, Gu Tianfeng had been practicing martial arts for six years, how could he abandon martial arts and follow literature.
The afterglow of the sunset faded, the room was dim and dark, Gu Tianfeng looked out the window and sighed, muttering: "There is no way for the sky to be endless, God can't bear to let my ancient family be destroyed, and gave me one last chance, it is not advisable to abandon martial arts and follow literature, this world is the world of martial artists, it is a world where the strong override everything, if you don't become a top martial artist, everything is a dream, everything is a bubble, and the Gu family is enough for me to carry it alone, how can they let them shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Gu family?"
Thinking of Gu Tianling and Gu Tianyi, the corners of Gu Tianfeng's indifferent mouth raised a smile, and the last trace of the sunset sprinkled on his face, which looked so warm.
"But how do you solve this mortal situation?"
