The ancient battlefield is located in a void, magnificent and boundless.
Around it, there are several equally unique cities. With the help of their own force's unique prohibition formation, they can also be located in the void without falling into the abyss, just like stars.
The Black City where Gu Changqing and his party arrived was one of them.
As the closest cities to the entrance to the ancient battlefield.
The monks gathered in the Black City were numerous and mixed.
However, Gu Changqing didn't care.
Although the emperor-level experts are not at the top of the black city, they are still an above-average force.
There is no need to deliberately take action, just releasing the pressure of one's own imperial realm is enough to make those Xiao Xiao who are hiding in the dark calm down.
After selecting an inn and renting it out, Gu Changqing sent a message to all the vassal forces under his command, asking them to gather in the Black City.
While waiting for Gu Changqing's subordinates to gather together, the three younger geniuses of the Gu family were not idle. They were all traveling around the Black City to increase their knowledge.
Gu Changqing and other senior officials of the Gu family are also quite supportive of this.
The original talents of Gu Ling, Gu Wangxuan and Gu Yuan were only average.
But now, as Gu Changqing enters the imperial realm, the three of them, especially Gu Wangxuan, awaken their spiritual body qualifications.
Their talents and qualifications are different from what they were in the past, and in the future they will all be promising people who are capable of carrying the backbone of Jiang Lin's Gu family and sharing Gu Changqing's worries.
Gu Changqing, of course, would not let them practice hard for a while. Going out to experience and sharpen their character was also a very important part.
However, what Gu Changqing didn't expect was this.
"In less than half a month, Brother Yuan actually hooked up with a noble girl from a god-king family?"
When Gu Ling and Gu Wangxuan sneaked over to look for Gu Changqing, Gu Changqing thought something big had happened. After hearing their "report", Gu Changqing was quite dumbfounded.
"Brother, do we have to stop Brother Yuan and the others?"
Seeing Gu Changqing's appearance, Gu Ling couldn't tell whether she supported or opposed it, so she couldn't help but whisper.
Not to mention that the Gu family is no longer what it used to be.
Not to mention the noble daughter of the God King, even the noble daughter of an imperial family is just ordinary to the Gu family.
Even if their family backgrounds are matched, as the descendants carefully cultivated by the family, they have not made enough contributions to the family. Naturally, the opinions of the family should be based on the opinions of the family, especially the opinions of their cousin, Gu Changqing, in matters such as marriage.
This is also the reason why Gu Ling and Gu Wangxuan reported the news secretly without showing any emotion.
In fact, they could see that cousin Gu Yuan was already showing true feelings.
"stop?"
Hearing Gu Ling's words, Gu Changqing raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the situation.
"It seems that Brother Yuan is tempted? Interesting."
Gu Changqing waved his hands with a smile on his face.
Back then, when he had not yet risen, Gu Yuan's talent was already quite famous among the clan.
But he has always taken great care of his cousin. Gu Changqing still remembers this friendship deep in his heart.
"No problem, tell Brother Yuan that he can make his own decision about his marriage, and the family will not interfere. If he needs help, let him speak with confidence, and the family will solve it for him. As long as he keeps his eyes open and finds his beloved. That’s it.”
As he said that, Gu Changqing looked at Gu Ling and Gu Wangxuan in front of him with a gentle smile: "Sister Ling'er and cousin Wangxuan, you are all the same. You can make your own decisions. The family will fully support your decision."
Many families will pay special attention to the marriage of the genius of the family, and regard it as part of the family resources.
But Gu Changqing was not prepared to do this.
With him here, his Gu family doesn't need to exchange the in-laws of his descendants for resources and connections!
"Brother?"
Hearing Gu Changqing's words.
Gu Wangxuan and Gu Ling were both startled. Immediately, their hearts were deeply moved and they both bowed: "I'll wait...thank you brother!"
Although they are not like Gu Yuan yet, they already have someone they like.
But the opportunity given to them by Gu Changqing's words today moved them and cherished them: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely practice diligently and serve the family to the death!"
"Okay, there's no need to express your stance here, but please pay attention to Gu Yuan. It's okay for Yuan Di to be sincere, but don't let him be hurt by outsiders."
"Here! Don't worry, brother, we will definitely take good care of them!"
Gu Changqing nodded, ignored the matter, and returned directly to the inn to make preparations before entering the battlefield.
On Gu Yuan's side, he was extremely excited when he heard the news brought back by Gu Ling and Gu Wangxuan.
These days, he is actually a little worried about whether his operation will violate the family arrangement, and he is worrying about gains and losses.
Now that he received his cousin's support, Gu Yuan immediately wanted to find his beauty, Quan Cai'er, the second lady of the God King Family and the whole family, and express his feelings.
However, when he went to look for Quan Cai'er, the two had not been traveling together for long, but Quan Cai'er received an urgent message from the family first.
"But what happened?"
Gu Yuan noticed that Quan Cai'er's eyes were worried, with a hint of panic that could not be concealed, and he frowned slightly and said.
Quan Cai'er's cheeks were slightly red and she nodded slightly: "Brother Yuan, my little sister may have to say goodbye first. The message from the clan is unclear, but the situation seems to be quite urgent..."
Quan Cai'er said, her tone also a little disappointed.
She originally wanted to muster up the courage to confess her feelings to Gu Yuan tonight, but now it seemed that it was not the time, and the news from the clan also made her uneasy, so she had better go back and take a look first.
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Gu Yuan spoke in a deep voice.
There are too many forces gathered in the Black City right now, and even the city lord's palace has difficulty controlling the overall situation. The order of the past is no longer a fiction.
There are even some evil cultivators haunting this black city, doing some costless business.
It was getting late now. He had the sword amulet given by his brother to protect him, so he was safe, but Quan Cai'er was not so sure.
Quan Cai'er was already a little panicked at this time. When she heard that Gu Yuan was going to escort her back, she didn't think much about it. She immediately nodded gratefully and turned around with Gu Yuan. Soon they arrived at the inn where the whole family was staying.
However, compared to the Gu family's big deal of directly renting out the entire inn, it's much simpler for the whole family, which only rents out one floor.
At this moment, the monks whose whole family participated in this ancient battlefield experience were all gathered together, all with serious expressions.
The patriarch of the family who was leading the team this time nodded slightly when he saw Quan Cai'er returning, but in a blink of an eye he saw Gu Yuan next to Quan Cai'er and couldn't help but be startled.
"This is brother Gu Yuan, he escorted his daughter all the way back..."
Quan Cai'er quickly explained.
The heads of the whole family nodded, nodded and thanked Gu Yuan, and then said no more. They could no longer care about such trivial matters at the moment.
"I have just told you what happened, and now I will briefly explain it again..."
Seeing the clan members returning one after another, the head of the family spoke directly and briefly repeated the situation.
This disaster for the whole family is completely unreasonable.
It was because the young master of the whole family accidentally collided with a passerby when he went out to check for information the day before yesterday. However, the passerby immediately insisted that the young master of the whole family had stolen his storage bag.
How could the young master of the whole family be willing to accept such unjust injustice? Even though he argued back, the other party ignored him at all and started to search him directly. There were even a few passers-by and accomplices who also rushed out and directly surrounded the young master of the whole family. host.
The young master of the whole family could only grit his teeth and let them search, but in the end, the other party actually found the storage bag!
There is no need to say more about what happens next.
The other party directly detained the young master of the whole family, and then arranged for someone to send a letter to the whole family, asking the whole family to either compensate for one million spiritual crystals, or to compensate three sects and fourth-level top spiritual weapons, and they had to collect them before the opening of the ancient battlefield.
Otherwise, there is no need to expect the young master of the whole family to return.
"These evil cultivators are really... quite domineering!"
Gu Yuan was beside him. Hearing what happened to the whole family, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed softly.
Gu Yuan has actually heard a little about this disaster these days.
I just never expected to see it happen to people around me.
Seeing the sad faces of the whole family, Gu Yuan felt more and more lucky. He was lucky to have his elder brother Gu Changqing to protect him!
The whole family paid no attention to Gu Yuan's thoughts.
The fact that the young master of the whole family was detained made them all panic.
The young master of the family, as the future heir of the family, has extraordinary talents and is a genius who is expected to achieve the imperial level. Almost all the resources of the family over the years have been invested in him, and there must be no loss.
but now.
"A million spiritual crystals? Or a top-level fourth-level spiritual weapon from three sects?"
You know, even the head of the whole family, the current God King, only has one top-level fourth-level spiritual sword in his hands. Where can he find the other two sects!
"This evil boy, I have told him a long time ago not to start any disputes outside..."
The head of the family gritted his teeth and whispered in a low voice, his tone was angry, but also heartbroken and worried.
"Patriarch, you can't blame the young master for this. This kind of thing is obviously a trap set by the other party. Even if the young master is kind to others, he will not avoid this ending..."
Next to him, the elder of the family shook his head and whispered.
In fact, these days, the whole family has also heard that many young masters and saint sons of many families and sects were tricked and captured using similar methods.
Apparently there is a group of evil cultivators with extraordinary power behind the scenes.
"Clan leader! Great elder, I heard about it!"
Just when the whole family was worried and panicked.
Outside, a king-level elder from the whole family rushed in and said repeatedly: "The force that kidnapped the young master is called the [Ye Gang]. It is a local evil cult gang in the Black City. It is not even a sect. It’s just a gang of evil cultivators gathered together!”
"but……"
The king-level elder gritted his teeth and said: "There are emperor-level experts in this Ye Gang, and there are rumors that one of the three great sects of the Black City, [Guyunmen], is standing behind them!"
"What? Guyunmen!?"
"Is this news true?"
Hearing this name, all the powerful people in the family couldn't sit still.
One Ye Gang is enough to make them despair. What if Guyunmen is involved again?
That is a force with the status of a Venerable and a supreme giant!
Seeing the elder who brought the letter nodding, all the heads of the family were in despair. They couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "These thieves... they can obviously rob! Why bother setting up such a trap and asking my whole family to go there?" compensation?"
"How can my whole family compensate them now?"
Listening to the desperate words of the family head, the elder next to him whispered: "Family head, the third lady has not come back yet, maybe there is still hope."
The third young lady in the family, although not very talented, married a good husband. His husband was the legitimate son of the Emperor's family and had an extraordinary status.
After the whole family received the news from the Ye Gang, they quickly asked the third lady to find a way to ask for help from the Fang family.
It is definitely unrealistic to borrow millions of spiritual crystals or spiritual weapons. The power gap between the two families is too big.
The whole family just wants to ask the other family to find someone to say good things to the Ye Gang, be more tolerant, and ask for less compensation.
but.
"Husband, say no, the people of the Ye Gang have always been domineering. Don't say that their ancestor is only the emperor, even the giant God Emperor. They may not be able to speak in front of the other party..."
The third young lady of the family soon brought back the news, her eyes also a little apologetic.
The family is in trouble, but there is little help from their side.
"Well, it's not your fault, Yue'er, it's just your brother's fate..."
The head of the whole family sighed, and for a moment, the entire room was filled with an atmosphere of despair.
At this moment, a strange voice sounded.
"Maybe... I can be of some help?"
