Nangong Yun seemed to understand something when he heard what Gu Hongshan said.
However, the matter had come to this, and there was nothing he could do.
As long as he tried his best to deal with Gu Hongshan, if he had to fight with him, Nangong Yun would have enough confidence to escape unscathed.
However, if he wants to continue exploring the Wanxiang Gate, he can only go so far.
Then, he smiled calmly.
"What's wrong with my name?"
"Too violent!"
"Oh? I thought it was for some other reason."
Of course Nangong Yun meant that Gu Hongshan associated Wan Zhentian with his name, so he became suspicious of his identity and the purpose of coming to the Western Regions.
However, I saw Gu Hongshan slowly shook his head and said.
"Your name doesn't match your temperament!"
"It's that simple?"
"Yes!"
"Do you think I'm hiding something just based on this?"
Nangong Yun was still a little confused and couldn't help asking curiously.
Gu Hongshan sighed softly, raised his head slowly, seemed to be thinking about something, and then said.
"Twenty years ago, I went to the Eastern Wasteland, so I know a little about the situation there."
Nangong Yun listened carefully, knowing that there would definitely be loopholes in his false rhetoric.
However, he is also betting, because after all, not many people have been to the Eastern Wasteland, and even fewer can come into contact with top beings like the Yun family and the Presbyterian Church.
However, I heard Gu Hongshan continue to speak.
"Actually, I only had the strength of the first realm of stars back then. I wanted to travel to the Eastern Wasteland to gain more knowledge. If I could find the opportunity, maybe it wouldn't have taken me twenty years to reach the current level of cultivation."
Seeing that Gu Hongshan didn't seem to be too hostile to him, but talked more about things about the world of cultivation, Nangong Yun gradually relaxed his tense heart and said with a smile.
"The ancient seniors were able to personally travel to the Eastern Wasteland, the original place on the Yuanhun Continent, which makes the younger generation envious. There are outstanding people there, and there must be many masters and geniuses there!"
"Haha, you admit it now!"
Gu Hongshan looked at Nangong Yun with a smile. At this time, there was only kindness in his eyes and no murderous intent.
Nangong Yun couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether Gu Hongshan didn't want to get rid of him, and then he said lightly.
"Yes, since the seniors have seen through it, there is no need to keep pretending. It's just that the juniors still have doubts. Does it mean that the Yun family in Donghuang no longer exists, or that the Presbyterian Council can't do anything to them at all!"
The only two flaws that Nangong Yun could think of were these two. After all, he had never been to Donghuang, but only heard about it from his master when he was a child.
However, the situation the master was talking about was unknown how many years ago. So many years had passed, and he had no way of knowing the current situation in Donghuang, let alone being familiar with it.
"No, the Yun family in the East Wasteland has a heritage of nearly a thousand years. Its heritage is so rich that it can almost keep pace with the Presbyterian Church. However, your biggest flaw is not here."
Immediately, Gu Hongshan looked at Nangong Yun again with a smile and continued.
"Although the Yun family is powerful, the Presbyterian Church has a transcendent status in Donghuang after all. What you said is impeccable, but you forgot that there is another person in Donghuang!"
"who?!"
"Dugu Xue, the female queen of the Eastern Wasteland!"
Nangong Yun naturally knows her, because Duguxue is known as the strongest person in Yuanhun Continent!
It is said that she had reached the fifth level of the stars decades ago, and the condensed star heart belonged to the void heart formed by the infinite power of heaven and earth.
The power of this void heart is beyond imagination.
Moreover, it is a unique existence in the history of the cultivation world of Yuanhun Continent, because no one has ever been able to control the power of the void!
Seeing Nangong Yun's confused expression, Gu Hongshan continued with a smile.
"Although the Presbyterian Church has a pivotal position in the East Wasteland, it has to surrender to the East Wasteland Temple where Duguxue is located!"
"Then what does this have to do with the Yun family?"
"This really has nothing to do with the Yun family, but it does have something to do with you!"
"Is it related to me? Could it be that the Eastern Barren Temple will help the Yun family fight against the Presbyterian Church?"
Nangong Yun looked at Gu Hongshan with some confusion and asked in confusion.
I saw Gu Hongshan looking at Nangong Yun with admiring eyes for a while, and then said.
"Duguxue will not fight against the Presbyterian Council for the Yun family, but if it is for you, it is possible!"
Nangong Yun looked a little surprised when he heard this.
Duguxue, the strongest person in the continent, would also favor him, which is a bit too self-righteous.
Although Nangong Yun was very confident in himself, he still didn't quite understand what Gu Hongshan meant.
"Fortunately, you were not born in the Eastern Wasteland. Otherwise, the next generation of the Eastern Wasteland Temple's monarch would probably be a man!"
At this time, Gu Hongshan looked up and smiled.
Until this moment, Nangong Yun still didn't feel any pressure from the old man in front of him. Instead, he chatted about daily trivial matters like old friends he hadn't seen for many years.
Nangong Yun knew from beginning to end who he was facing at this moment.
Therefore, even though he and Gu Hongshan talked about many things calmly, his inner alertness and physical awareness of precautions had not weakened at all.
However, Nangong Yun still clasped his fists at Gu Hongshan humbly and said with a smile.
"Senior, you deserve the prize. In today's world of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe there is a young genius in the Eastern Wasteland who far exceeds the talent of this junior!"
"Oh?! That may be because I am ignorant, but in my opinion, with your talents and qualifications, if you are in Donghuang, you will definitely be appreciated by Duguxue and join the Donghuang Temple! So, because of what you said before It is basically impossible to have a grudge with someone and be threatened by the Elders Council to leave Donghuang!"
Gu Hongshan smiled and expressed his inference, but Nangong Yun was unable to refute.
Because once a lie is exposed, it will appear very ridiculous, and it will be almost impossible to round it up.
However, Nangong Yun still did not relax his vigilance. So far, the antagonistic relationship between them has not been resolved, and Gu Hongshan still has reasons to take action against him.
A strong person in the Star Realm like Gu Hongshan can take action with just the movement of his mind, and his action must be thunderous and unstoppable!
Therefore, Nangong Yun asked tentatively.
"Since senior has known everything for a long time, why are you still reluctant to take action?"
"Do it? Why do you do it? Moreover, I am not an old man who will do something to others when we meet."
Gu Hongshan looked at Nangong Yun with suspicion and continued.
"So this is the reason why you haven't let down your guard at all since you entered the room until now?"
Nangong Yun didn't expect that Gu Hongshan could clearly see his actions and thoughts, and he couldn't help being shocked. The flow of profound energy in his body suddenly accelerated, and his whole body became more vigilant.
However, Gu Hongshan smiled and sighed.
"You don't have to be so nervous. If I want to take action, I will tell you in advance. With my level of cultivation, do I still need to be sneaky?"
Hearing this, Nangong Yun was noncommittal, but he still maintained a high level of alert throughout his body.
Because in his understanding of the Wanxiang Sect, other than being cruel, cruel, and cold-blooded, he couldn't think of anything that he could trust in them.
However, the feeling that Gu Hongshan gave him was indeed somewhat different from that of Wan Zhentian and the others, but Nangong Yun was not willing to gamble with his own life.
Then, he said coldly.
"Senior Ancient, aren't you the elder of Wanxiang Sect? Since you discovered my existence, how could you remain indifferent?"
"Haha, I am indeed the elder of the Wanxiang Sect, and I did find that you are a little weird. I can even feel that you have murderous intentions towards him, but until now, I still don't know who you are or what you are willing to do. Don’t want to tell me?”
Gu Hongshan's words were gentle and his tone was calm. He didn't seem to be talking to a hostile person at all, which made Nangong Yun feel a little baffled.
"What makes you think I will tell you my intentions?!"
"Just because you don't have murderous intentions towards me, but you do towards him!"
Nangong Yun suddenly felt that he was a little powerless in front of Gu Hongshan.
Because Gu Hongshan could always see through his thoughts, which made him at a loss for a moment.
Then, he simply said calmly.
"Even if I want to kill you, I can't!"
"Haha... You young man, you are really interesting! In that case, how about we sit down and have a drink?"
Gu Hongshan's words were not asking for Nangong Yun's opinion, because with a wave of his sleeves, a bottle of fine wine placed on the exquisite wine rack in the room had appeared on the table between the two of them.
I saw Gu Hongshan reaching out to lift the wine pot, filling the cups in front of them with wine, and then smiled.
"Maybe after a few drinks, you won't be so reserved!"
Nangong Yun reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him and asked suddenly.
"Don't you all drink from big bowls?"
Gu Hongshan was stunned for a moment, then understood.
"I'm not one of them, how can I drink fine wine like a wine bag and rice bag?"
"Haha, the seniors are really different. I respect the juniors for doing it first!"
Then Nangong Yun drank the wine in the cup and smiled.
"Nangong Yun, since Senior Gu is so forthright and straightforward, I will no longer be secretive. Even after we finish drinking this wine, it doesn't matter if we have a hearty fight!"
"Haha...that's right, we'll fight after we drink!"
Gu Hongshan noticed that Nangong Yun had just put down his guard at this moment and was honest with him. He also happily raised his head and laughed.
"It's just that your surname is a bit strange. As far as I know, the royal family of the South Vietnam Empire has the compound surname Nangong. I don't know, little friend..."
"Senior, there is no need to test this junior. I was born in the South Vietnam Empire and grew up in Fengming Mountain!"
"That's it! I finally understand. It turns out that you are the child back then!"
Gu Hongshan didn't suddenly realize it until this moment. When he heard Nangong Yun say his name, he had already made a vague guess. Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
I saw Gu Hongshan sighing with a regretful expression on his face.
"I didn't expect that Brother Shi's great-great-grandson is now a grown-up, and he is still such a peerless genius. This really makes me happy!"
"Could it be that the elder brother of the ancients is..."
"Yes, it is Lin Hong, the patriarch of the Lin clan of the South Vietnam Empire!"
