Guo Xun followed the merchants to their residence. They rented a remote courtyard in the Dongcheng District of Bihai City, and everyone came here to rest. Some of them did not attract anyone's attention on the road. After all, this At that time, merchants like them could be seen everywhere, and there were countless caravans coming and going.
Chu Yuchuan and the others rested for a while and then said goodbye to Guo Xun. Before leaving, they also said that Guo Xun must come to their Chu family as a guest. Guo Xun also fully agreed. As for when he will go, it is unknown. It is estimated that he will be there by then. Someone from the Chu family came to pick him up.
As soon as Chu Yuchuan returned to the Chu family, he told Chu Zhangwu, the head of the family, everything that happened on the Biluo River. Chu Zhangwu urgently convened a meeting of elders to discuss this matter.
The other elders were full of joy when they saw Chu Yuchuan and the others coming back, but then they couldn't be happy anymore. Recently, there was a lot of commotion in the city because of the thunder treasure incident, and all the major families wanted to find out the culprit of this incident.
Now that the people of the Chu family are back, it is estimated that trouble will find them soon. The Chu family must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. Once this is confirmed, the Chu family will really become the target of public criticism. When the time comes, they will not be able to defend themselves, and they will die without knowing how. .
"You mean the person who massacred other families was Wei Ge? Do you have any evidence?"
The second eldest son of the Chu family, the Chu family, asked first.
Chu Yuchuan shook his head. They left in a hurry. Who would care about these details? They were originally out to kill people and seize treasures. Who would really leave evidence?
"This is going to be difficult! Now all the major families are looking for the culprit. The Zhang family has been suspected before, and I heard that it has also attracted the attention of the city lord's palace. This time you come back, I guess our Chu family will face the same problem. The situation may be even more terrifying than that of the Zhang family!"
Chu Yuchuan didn't quite understand the meaning of the Chu family's words, but when he heard the Zhang family, he became a little angry, and a hint of anger appeared on his originally calm face, "Zhang family! The Zhang family has always been on good terms with our Chu family. Thinking that they actually abandoned us this time, if we hadn't been rescued by others, we would have died on the battlefield."
"Come to the rescue? Who is the person who rescues you?"
The Chu family immediately grasped the key point of Chu Yuchuan's words.
"He is a cultivator on a fleet. I don't know the specific origin. He should have obtained the rare thunder treasure. However, this person is extremely talented and his future is limitless. He will definitely be able to capture it at the Yuan Shen stage. I have made friends with him. Okay, I plan to invite him to my home tomorrow."
The Chu family frowned, unknown cultivator! Could it be...
The Chu family's eyes flashed, "Is this the fourth brother you are talking about?"
The Chu family took out a streamer's talisman, which was a copied streamer's talisman. When the energy was stimulated, he immediately saw the image in it.
Chu Yuchuan's face changed drastically when he saw the battle on the video, "What's going on? Why do you have live video?"
"This is coming from a small family, but this family has been destroyed by the Hu family. There is not much content, but after careful analysis, there are several of you in this image. And this matter has been completely spread in Bihai City. Now that so many people have died, every family wants to find out who is behind it.”
Only then did Chu Yuchuan suddenly realize that if they returned alive, they would definitely become the focus of this incident. In addition, all major families had suffered losses, so this time the Chu family would inevitably become the target of public criticism.
"Brother! What should we do about this matter? Can our Chu family just suffer the loss of being dumb?"
Chu Yuchuan was very unwilling to think about the result.
"It was not our Chu family who did it and we will not be blamed for it, but if we want to quell this turmoil, someone must make sacrifices."
Chu Zhangwu's voice was neither high-pitched nor ear-splitting, but it was like a bolt from the blue when it fell on Chu Yuchuan's ears.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Chu Yuchuan was a little anxious, he seemed to have guessed something.
"Don't you understand what I mean? It's not like you don't know the situation in the family now. Two of our three ancestors are approaching their end. By then, our Chu family and I will only have two Nascent Soul stages left. , what can we do to compete with the other eight major families?"
"So we cannot and dare not expose ourselves to the public. We must hide our strength and bide our time to have a chance to revitalize. Now the burden of the family falls on you. As long as you break through the Nascent Soul stage quickly, this crisis will still be there. It's a chance to resolve it, but I see that you don't seem to be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage quickly."
"But Guo Xun saved us. The reason why Hu Chi fights him is to save us? And he also has an older brother who is in the Nascent Soul stage. We can't touch him!"
Chu Yuchuan was very unwilling to deal with the affairs of the Natural Way family. He didn't want to be an ungrateful person.
"There is actually an eldest brother who is in the Nascent Soul stage! That's not good. The matter has been decided like this. Since he is willing to save you, he must also be willing to save our family. Although this matter is not done kindly, it is His honor! Keep an eye on Chu Yuchuan and don’t let him go out to tell the truth."
The other elders nodded. Although Chu Xiong and Chu Xing were also extremely reluctant, what Chu Zhangwu said was really reasonable. They did not dare to trade the Chu family for a stranger.
After the meeting, Chu Yuchuan was imprisoned, saying that as long as this incident was over, he would be free and serve as the chief elder of the family.
Chu Yuchuan never expected that his family would make such a decision. All his previous efforts would be in vain, and once this matter went awry, the Chu family might even be catastrophic.
Although Guo Xun's current strength is not his opponent in the Yuan Ying stage, he still has a big brother in the Yuan Ying stage beside him. With the existence of this person, he is likely to survive this storm.
If he is not completely beaten into the dust this time, then the Chu family will face a peerless master who is above the Yuan Shen stage, and no one will be able to save the Chu family by then.
Chu Yuchuan tried his best to get out. He wanted to make the seriousness of the matter clear to Chu Zhangwu. Moreover, there was still a lot to be done in the fight for the treasure, and not all the spearheads might be pointed at the Chu family.
At that time, it will be announced that all the families fought for the treasures, and finally ended up in a life-and-death situation. This kind of thing has never happened before, does it mean that it cannot be overcome?
Unfortunately, Chu Yuchuan was imprisoned in a dungeon built by a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, so it was impossible for him to get out from here.
Guo Xun was still very curious about Bihai City. Now the merchants were handling the merchant affairs themselves, and Guo Xun couldn't help him, so he went out of the compound alone and looked around.
The little fat guy Guo Lin also made a fuss about coming out. Guo Xun thought it was nothing, so they simply went out to go shopping together. But as soon as they walked onto the street, Guo Lin disappeared as if he had discovered a new world.
Guo Xun didn't bother to care about him. The little fat man had a higher level of cultivation than him, so he was worried about what he would do.
Guo Xun unknowingly came to the door of a restaurant. There were many customers coming and going in this restaurant. Guo Xun suddenly remembered the scene where Fengling'er took him to the restaurant to eat.
Now two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the scenes of the past seem to have happened yesterday. There were so many right and wrongs along the way that Guo Xun had no chance to calm down.
Guo Xun smiled and walked directly into the restaurant, found a remote place to sit down, casually ordered two dishes, and started eating by himself.
The hustle and bustle of the market made Guo Xun feel the reality of life. He remembered the first time he went to Luoshan Town. At that time, his father was with him, and he felt particularly safe.
They also went to a tavern, where they ate, talked and laughed. The joy of that time made Guo Xun's lips unconsciously smile.
It's a pity that time flies like an arrow and things change too quickly and suddenly. In the blink of an eye, he is thousands of miles away. Guo Xun now has no idea where his home is.
Missing the warm embrace of his father and mother, and longing for the family love he once had, Guo Xun couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
While Guo Xun was melancholy, discussions about the Tang Dynasty came from the table next to him.
