The night is dark, but the people living in Yecheng have been unable to fall asleep.
In a dignified, elegant and quiet house in the city, Gu Zi really couldn't care less about the family members in front of him who cared about him, and hurriedly walked towards the quieter back garden.
"Uncle, young master!" When Gu Zizhen saw the two of them, his expression became slightly calmer and he said, "A bold cultivator once approached that wasteland and brought back the latest news."
Gu Yuan asked: "Is he still alive?"
Gu Zizhen said with a complex expression: "There is only a charred, 100-foot-long pit left at the scene. Except for some remaining sword intent and thunder power, there are no traces."
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked in a certain direction in the night, smiling: "Since there is nothing left, he must still be alive."
Gu Zizhen seemed to still be shocked by the news he said. After hearing the words, he reacted and shook his head: "Young Master misunderstood. According to that person, the scope of this disaster covered half of Juye City." Not to mention the large pit in the center that is completely filled with scorched earth, even the grass roots in the edge areas have been turned into powder. No one can survive this kind of power."
"Hmph, it's just a tribulation thunder in the middle stage of mortal transformation."
Gu Zi really didn't expect that Gu Tong was also in the garden. He was a little panicked when he heard the voice, and bowed his head respectfully: "Elder."
Gu Tong stood in the shadow, his eyes falling on Gu Zizhen, "In your eyes, this calamity is already invincible, that's just because you are not strong enough."
"The elder is right." Gu Zizhen smiled apologetically. The Bounty Pavilion has become an underground ruin. Now he just hopes that Gu Tong will not take out his anger on him.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Tong, thoughtfully: "Will Ling Yunsong block the natural disaster for Mu Qing?"
Gu Tong did not answer. In fact, he did not choose to follow him. Now he could only speculate: "Ling Yunsong will appear here, how can he let Mu Qing die? You must know that he is a sword cultivator in the middle stage of mortal transformation."
Gu Zizhen looked down at the ground, and Gu Tong stepped on the Bounty Pavilion into the ground before him. He really couldn't imagine what kind of power Ling Yunsong, who was also afraid of Gu Tong, could have, but suddenly he felt something in his heart and raised his head in doubt. , happened to meet Gu Tong's cold gaze, and suddenly panicked in his heart: "Elder?"
Gu Tong said: "The Bounty Pavilion has been destroyed. After it is rebuilt, the clan will arrange someone else to take over."
Gu Zi really fell to the bottom of his heart and looked to Gu Yan for help.
Gu Tong snorted coldly: "You are quite good at collecting information. Put aside other things in the city and go find someone for me."
Gu Zi was really bitter, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed: "Elder, please don't worry, I will do my best to find the thief who destroyed Juye City." @
Gu Tong threw a piece of white jade with a hint of blood to Gu Zizhen, frowned and said, "The person I want you to find is Xiao Gaofeng."
The three people in the garden looked at Gu Tong, and Gu Yan asked doubtfully: "How come Xiao Gaofeng is not dead?"
Gu Tong shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know, but I planted a witchcraft on him, and I can sense that his energy and blood have not died. If you find him, you may be able to figure out what happened."
Gu Zizhen took the positioning object that Gu Tong gave him and disappeared into the thick night again.
The garden fell into silence for a moment. Gu Yuan looked up at the night sky. Gu Tong looked at him critically and said, "You were in the Bounty Pavilion at that time."
It was not in a questioning tone, and Gu Tong did not intend to wait for Gu Yuan to nod. He looked at him and said: "I admit that I underestimated this son's ability. It is not a fluke that he can beat you, but the more so, the more we should get rid of him as soon as possible." Drop him."
Gu Yuan looked away, looked at him and said, "I promised my father that I would kill him with my own hands."
The corner of Gu Tong's mouth moved slightly, thinking that Gu Tian's brewing sneer did not show up after all, and said solemnly: "Young Master, we all know that you will become the future master of the Gu family, so you can't lose to him a second time. Have you ever thought about it? ?”
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I can't defeat him for the time being, but if I lose again in the second fight with him, I won't need to say anything more from the elders, and I will die in front of others."
Gu Tong's expression changed slightly, his expression became much more solemn, and he said, "You are still the number one person of this generation of the Gu family."
Gutong's aura faded away, and there were only two people left in the garden.
Gu Yuan looked at the silvery moon in the sky and said, "Are Gu Ci and the others not confident in me?"
ancient saying
He replied: "The world has changed, and many people in the Gu family have thought about change, because our ancestors have gone through difficult changes to adapt to such a difficult cultivation environment. But just like back then, history is also a cycle, and what changed back then The new has become today’s old, and after so many years, many things have grown with our flesh and blood.”
Gu Yuan frowned and realized that these things were probably the way Gu Ci and others treated the world. He couldn't help but frown: "Can't even you change it?"
Gu Yan smiled calmly: "After all, I am the same as them, but the young master is not. I also believe that there are some new ideas that these people in the Presbyterian Church will eventually see."
Gu Yuan subconsciously rubbed his index finger, but it was all empty. The confusion in his eyes gradually cleared, and he said: "At the current speed, I can't even compare with him. I have to try that method."
Gu Yan looked much more serious: "It is true that a large number of rough stones have been found in this newly emerged ruins, but if the properties are not consistent, there will be great danger."
Gu Yuan smiled calmly: "What kind of power does that guy dare not refine? If I don't seek change, I will really become a joke."
Deep in the wasteland, on the edge of an old ruin.
Mu Qing stopped and said, "They should still be here."
Yue Jiu glanced at him. Mu Qing's body was stained with blood and her face was still pale. She couldn't help but said, "Are you really okay?"
Mu Qing turned around and smiled: "Don't worry."
As the two of them were talking, they noticed that there were several lines of sight coming towards them from inside the ruins.
Yue Jiu frowned and said, "Why are there so many people here?"
Mu Qing walked straight towards a certain direction of the ruins. He remembered the notice in the city and said, "Maybe it's because of the new ruins. If these people can get here in the afternoon, they won't be too weak."
Yue Jiu nodded slightly, with a little more vigilance in her heart, and followed Mu Qing.
He was supposed to return to Spring God Mountain with Ling Yunsong, but he quickly decided to stay with Mu Qing.
Of course he knew that he couldn't protect Mu Qing, but after a few months, he already had too many things to say and ask.
Mu Qing quickly found Bai Zhi and Lei Tongtian in a half-collapsed palace.
However, there were a few strangers around Lei Tongtian. When they saw Mu Qing, who was covered in blood, walking straight towards them, they all stood up and stared at Mu Qing indifferently, as if they would take action at will.
"You guys go out first."
"Mr. Lei?"
Lei Tongtian's brows jumped, "I'm telling you to get out!"
Before the figures of the casual cultivators turned away in despair, Lei Tongtian, who saw Mu Qing frowning, had already taken the lead and knelt down: "Young Master."
Mu Qing looked at him expressionlessly and said: "It was so lively here just now, are you planning to return to Juye City?"
Lei Tongtian was anxious and looked at Bai Zhi for help.
Bai Zhi was the first to show concern for Mu Qing: "Master, where are you injured?"
Mu Qing looked down at the blood stains all over his body and smiled: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips and felt a little sad. Then she explained for Lei Tongtian: "These people in the ruins don't know the details of last night, so they don't doubt him."
"Yes." Lei Tongtian said quickly: "They were just a little confused as to why my subordinates didn't show up. I said I was bringing my disciples out for training."
Lei Tongtian is extremely senior among the treasure hunters in Juye City, so it is normal for those people to come back and fawn over him.
Mu Qing hummed slightly and glanced around the hall. Lei Tongtian stood up knowingly, led him to sit down where he was, and said: "Sir, there are a total of twenty-three people in the ruins outside, and the strongest among them is But it’s the peak of spiritual life.”
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. This ruins has been explored and there are no unknown risks. Therefore, it has always been a resting place for those who plan to continue deep into the wilderness. Why are there only these people? This does not match his guess.
"Where are the others?" Mu Qing asked.
A glimmer of light flashed in Lei Tongtian's eyes, and his voice lowered: "It is said that eight hundred miles further north, there is a newly discovered ruins. Those guys who are strong enough will naturally not want to fall behind others."
Mu Qing looked at Lei Tongtian, who had a hint of yearning on his face, and asked curiously: "Do you believe this is true?"
Lei Tongtian was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Of course not.
If you can listen to the wind, it will be rain, but this is what we do after all. No matter whether the news is true or false, we will always believe our own eyes. Calculating the time, more news will reach the rear as soon as tomorrow morning. "
"Well, if you want to go, I can let you go." Mu Qing said calmly.
Lei Tongtian panicked and said quickly: "Master, did I do anything wrong?"
Mu Qing was a little uncomfortable with his attitude and said: "I can't joke with you. You can leave at any time. I can even remove the lightning in your sea of consciousness right now."
Mu Qing said that he was about to point his finger at Lei Tongtian, but Lei Tongtian panicked and quickly stopped him: "No."
Yue Jiu watched this scene with interest.
On the way here, he knew about the relationship between Lei Tongtian and Mu Qing, and naturally understood that Mu Qing would spare Lei Tongtian's life in order to ensure Bai Zhi's safety.
But now that he is here, of course there is no need for an outsider.
Mu Qing's fingers were frozen in the air, looking at Lei Tongtian's swaying white hair, inexplicably thinking of the Xiao Gaofeng mentioned in Yue Jiu's mouth, and sighed softly: "I don't like your look, be more normal."
Upon hearing this, Lei Tongtian put away his flattering attitude, glanced at Yue Jiu, and roughly understood the reason why he was of no use to Mu Qing, and said with a wry smile: "I have figured it out a long time ago, as long as Juye City is in a Under the rule of the Gu family, it is impossible for me to return to my old profession in Juye City. Although I will not be needed to protect Miss Bai in the future, I am still familiar with this wasteland and should be able to lead the way for the young master."
"Have you decided to follow me?" Mu Qing looked at him and said.
Lei Tongtian nodded heavily, came to the palace, slowly bowed down to Mu Qing, and said seriously: "I, Lei Tongtian, would like to be the master of the young master and be loyal to me. If I violate this word in the future, my Taoist heart will collapse and I will be struck by thunder from the sky. "
The corner of Mu Qing's mouth twitched, and with a wave of his hand, he unlocked the thunder method in Lei Tongtian's sea of consciousness, "Then you can follow me back to Suzaku City."
Hearing the words "Suzaku City", Lei Tongtian's heart suddenly brightened up, and he suddenly remembered the most popular rumors in the practice world recently, and also remembered the power of heaven he saw from a distance at dusk, and his eyes fell on Mu Qing. On the mottled blood, he asked curiously: "Master, is that disaster related to you?"
Mu Qing glanced at him, hummed lightly, turned to look at Yue Jiu and Bai Zhi, and talked about the next arrangements: "If there is a black storm, I will go in alone. Bai Zhi, you and Yue Jiu are waiting outside. That’s fine with me.”
Lei Tongtian was shocked at how much noise Mu Qing had made, and when he heard what Mu Qing said about the Black Storm, his eyelids suddenly jumped: "Sir, if you go into the Black Storm, you can't get out."
Mu Qing ignored him and said with firm eyes: "We are very pressed for time and will set off in two hours."
