Chapter 144: Heroes Gather in the Stubborn Stone (4)
Suspicious, the guard whispered to his team leader, and seemed to feel that what Gu Xuyao said was a little credible, so he asked the guard to report it.
After a while, the guard returned to the door, and seemed to give a positive answer to Jiu Xuan, and they had no reason to continue to obstruct them, so they had to let Gu Xuyao and Yulan communicate with each other, and in this way, they successfully obtained the pass to enter the second city.
This process was really easier than he imagined, but in any case, the real problem had not yet come, and how to find the iron key alone had already made Gu Xuyao rack his brains and not get an answer.
The thick stone slab was pulled up by thirteen iron chains the thickness of human torsos, and it took a while to use Yuan Li in this process, when walking through the ground that had been pressed by the stone slabs, there was a strong smell of blood in the nasal cavity, Gu Xuyao looked up unconsciously, thinking to himself, there must be many people killed under this stone slab.
But soon he was completely in the second district, and when he came over, he saw familiar faces.
"Sure enough, it's Big Brother Gu, I don't know if Big Brother still remembers me, I once fought side by side with Big Brother Gu in the Sea of Magic Sand, and my name is Xiang Gang. At this time, standing in front of him and waiting respectfully for Gu Xuyao was indeed a person he had seen before, with an ordinary appearance, nothing special.
Although he is not familiar with it, it can be regarded as a long-term meeting, Gu Xuyao showed a rare smile and nodded.
"Brother Gu really misses the old, this time I should have heard that the head of the family was going to have a decisive battle with those despicable people, so he made a special trip to Halberd City to help, hehe. The head of the family actually didn't expect Big Brother Gu to come, and he was so happy when he heard the news. The gangster seemed to be very talkative, but he didn't miss the right thing, and consciously led the way ahead.
Gu Xuyao couldn't help but feel a little guilty about what he said about coming to help, after all, he didn't come here simply to help, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to enter the second city in the name of Xiang Jiuxuan.
Speaking of the second district, the overall layout and the number of pedestrians here have decreased a lot, according to Drunkard Lee. Those who can enter the second district are either rich or expensive. Most of them are shops selling high-end goods, or branches of the forces that are friendly with Fengchenzhuang, and of course, there are also worshippers of Fengchenzhuang or other high-level cultivators who live here, in short, the second city is a symbol of status and strength.
For these reasons, there aren't too many inns in the Second Quarter. Fortunately, the drunken workshop that Gu Xuyao was very familiar with appeared here. And Xiang Jiuxuan also lived in the most luxurious inn in the second city.
"Hahaha. Brother Gu, long time no see!" I didn't wrap up the drunken shop, and I could still see other guests. But this does not affect the fact that the Xiang family has occupied most of the wings of the intoxication workshop. "Huh, why has your cultivation improved so quickly? There are really people outside the sky!" Xiang Jiuxuan still looked so weak and couldn't help it, but his personality was much more heroic, and when he saw Gu Xuyao, he immediately came to a bear hug.
"Brother Xiang, you're joking, Gu's humble cultivation can only be a guard in this Halberd City, but Brother Xiang has changed a lot. "This change seems to have been developing for the better so far, Xiang Jiuxuan can become like this, Gu Xuyao is really happy for him.
"Eh, don't talk about this, I'm worried that this battle with the descendants of Xuyangzi is not enough, now that Brother Gu, if you come, then we will definitely be foolproof!" After speaking, he waved his hand to Jiuxuan, and soon someone turned around and left, and after a while, the store was full of a feast, and at this time, Xiang Jiuxuan also asked the rest of the clan to retreat and sit down with Gu Xuyao for a long talk.
Of course, when asked about Yulan, a person with advanced cultivation, Gu Xuyao just said lightly that he was an ordinary friend, and since this was the case, Yulan had no reason to continue to stay in this room, and soon, only these two old friends were left to catch up.
"By the way, why don't you see the predecessors of the idle field?" The desire for wine and meat is very low, Gu Xuyao only tastes it, but is more interested in the movements of the old man.
"Alas, Brother Gu, don't you know, Uncle Xianye he really tried his best for our Xiangjia, and now he is still doing things in other places, otherwise it would be impossible for us to beat the already large-scale pseudo-Xiangjia into the point where he is asking for help in less than two hundred years, although Uncle Xianye has not set foot in the cultivation realm for a long time, but as soon as he speaks out, there are many people who are willing to help, among which there is a quite large family in the stubborn stone realm, that is, because of their energy, I can come to this Halberd City to fight to the death with the descendants of Xuyangzi. ”
Soon, Xiang Jiuxuan told all the things he had experienced over the years.
It turned out that after they separated from Gu Xuyao, they immediately started a counterattack, but no matter how they looked at it, it was absolutely not enough to rely on this group of monks cultivated by the idle wild people, so the idle wild people had to mobilize his own former acquaintances to help.
Don't look at the idle wild scattered people have been in hiding for so long, but when they reappeared, they were respected and helped by many people, and soon the descendants of Xuyangzi were beaten to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, because Xuyangzi was killed by Xiang Hedong, the pseudo-Xiang family without this ancestor was completely messed up from strength to battle deployment, until finally they had to take refuge in another family in the middle of the Stubborn Stone Realm in exchange for the survival of the family.
And the war was temporarily stopped at this time, due to the intervention of that family, Xiang Jiuxuan didn't dare to continue to attack the pseudo-Xiang family, but the family who helped behind him couldn't get used to the other party's approach, so after getting absolute support, Xiang Jiuxuan swept the pseudo-Xiang family's stronghold again, and because of this, with the support of the family they wanted to take refuge in, the pseudo-Xiang family came to Origashi City and made a request for a duel, and Xiang Jiuxuan also received an invitation from Origaku City.
I have to say that the battle between the Xiang family and the pseudo-Xiang family has gradually evolved into an open and secret battle between the two major families in the middle of the Stubborn Stone Realm, and these two families are also quite powerful beings in the Stubborn Stone Realm, otherwise Halberd City would not come forward to coordinate their contradictions.
"Actually, this pseudo-Xiang family still has some brains, after all, the Simon family behind us is definitely not vegetarian, and the son of today's Ximen family master has a strong friendship with Uncle Xianye. So they found the Bian family, which is equivalent to the power of the Ximen family and has a feud, as a backing, alas, I have a headache when it comes to this, Ximen and the Bian family are feuds, here I see that Ximen is so partial to our Xiang family, and it is profitable to help the pseudo-Xiang family over there, how can they not be willing to do such a thing?" Xiang Jiuxuan said and drank it all, his brows were twisted into hemp rope, obviously very distressed.
"I see, but judging from Brother Xiang's cultivation today and the attacks on them over the past hundred years, even if you want to pick someone out to duel, you are definitely not afraid. "Today's Xiang Jiuxuan has reached the realm of the third layer of the Dao Cultivation Period, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the fourth order and the second layer, although it is not as good as Gu Xuyao, who has benefited from Qilipo, but he is definitely the best among the monks of the same generation.
"Alas, Brother Gu, this duel is not only a grudge between our two families, but also a rivalry between the two major families in the middle of the Rock Realm, why are you able to enter the second city? That is because this competition is allowed to invite outsiders to help, of course, it is impossible for the two major families to draw people from their own families to come, in this case, they can only rely on their own connections to find someone to help, and the most important thing is that this competition only dispatches fourth-order monks to meet the requirements of the other party, and there are three battles in total, from the first layer of the fourth order to the third layer of the fourth order of cultivation, and now I just lack a trusted monk of the fourth order and third layer!"
Even if a monk is a fellow cultivator, there will be many different results, Gu Xuyao's strength is undoubted, his skillful fighting skills and calm attitude are his weapons for victory, in Xiang Jiuxuan's opinion, no one in the fourth order and third layer can meet Xiang Jiuxuan's requirements better than Gu Xuyao.
However, Gu Xuyao believes that Xiang Jiuxuan must have a candidate, now that he is the head of the Xiang family, it is impossible not to take precautions, the last thing Gu Xuyao wants is to show his head at this time, if his appearance is seen by too many people, he will be investigated by Fengchen solemnly if he plans to sneak into Lingshan to find the key, not only that, it is likely that Xiang Jia will also be implicated.
"Brother Xiang, with the friendship between the two of us, I have no reason to refuse you, but if what I want to do next is likely to be hunted down by Fengchen Village and affect the entire Xiang family, do you still want me to help?"
Xiang Jiuxuan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Brother Gu, you can't ......" Before the words were finished, Gu Xuyao nodded, and Xiang Jiuxuan immediately understood Gu Xuyao's intentions. "In that case, I won't say anything, I know that Brother Gu has your own pursuits......"
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "The head of the family, the head of the Jing family has arrived." ”
Xiang Jiuxuan laughed loudly when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Fortunately, here Brother Gu, you just rejected me, and the other three-layer master came, I am actually not familiar with this person, but he was introduced by Uncle Xianye's friend, but since I think about it, since she can be favored by Uncle Xianye's friend, she is definitely not a general, and besides, she still has her own kingdom, this strength is definitely not covered. ”
While speaking, the door was pushed open, and a white dress entered Gu Xuyao's line of sight, and when he looked at it, Gu Xuyao didn't expect to meet the old man again here.
"Is it you?" The person who came was Jing Liuyun, and she was not as calm as a man when she saw Gu Xuyao.
"Lord Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm, right?" Gu Xuyao smiled slightly, and made a gesture of "please", obviously inviting her to the table.
And Xiang Jiuxuan was surprised: "It turns out that the two of you know each other, then it seems that Lord Jing is definitely a person you can rely on!" (To be continued......)
