Inside the mountain gate of Sword King City, there is a majestic building, filled with clouds and mist, looming, with palaces in groups, just like heavenly palaces built on earth, with flying cranes and mountain beasts crouching and roaring filial piety, guarding outside the gate.
The old heavenly master appeared in a manor, with clear lakes, water systems in all directions, stone mountains, lush trees, vast gardens, and magnificent scenery. It was like a paradise in the cave, full of spiritual energy.
The breeze came slowly, and wisps of thick fog were lingering. The old heavenly master walked straight into a palace and stopped at a thick stone wall. He slowly put his hand on the stone wall. In an instant, the wind rose from the ground, and streaks of heaven and earth appeared. The vitality was raging, surrounding the old Heavenly Master. After a while, the old Heavenly Master's figure became blurry, and finally disappeared.
next moment,
The old Heavenly Master appeared in a somewhat dim palace.
This is a closed underground palace, with only a few luminous pearls blooming with a little luster.
In the middle of the underground palace, there is a large array that is running, filled with terrifying demonic energy and surging. Below the large array is a blood pool, with a lot of blood flowing and boiling. The strong smell of blood permeates the underground palace.
The great formation was moving, rumbling mantras were chanting to itself, as if the gods in the sky were singing in Zen, and the blood-colored light was scattered, covering a person, and the yin-yang fish picture in the sky looked very ferocious.
The person sitting in the formation had his black hair dancing wildly, and a long black sword floated in front of him. There were faint wisps of blood mist entwining it, and the sword screamed shrilly.
"Did you succeed?" Master Tian asked.
The man slowly raised his head, his disheveled hair flying back, revealing his face. It was Wei Wuya, the headmaster of Sword King City. The corners of his eyes were broken open, blood and tears were flowing down, and there were ferocious blood marks on his face. Twisted.
"Soon."
Wei Wuya spoke with a strange voice.
"The limit of martial arts has been broken, but it is not yet stable."
The Heavenly Master was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to actually become it."
Wei Wuya said in a low voice: "If you don't break, you don't stand. After breaking, you stand. I wash my body with demonic energy to replace the spiritual energy. I am no longer controlled by the vitality of heaven and earth. I have taken another path. I have created an era. The more virtuous the martial saint, the more powerful the martial ancestor. In the first three thousand years and in the next three thousand years, everyone in the world will remember my name, Wei Wuya!"
The Heavenly Master took a deep breath and said, "I can't decide whether you are right or wrong. How much time do you need?"
"In two months at most, I will be able to perfectly control the demonic energy." Wei Wuya said.
The Heavenly Master frowned and said, "Maybe, we don't have so much time?"
"What do you mean?" Wei Wuya asked.
The old Heavenly Master sighed and said: "The Wulin Alliance's crusade against Gu Zhan was defeated by Gu Zhan alone. Only Qi Jia came back with a seriously injured body. The other factions were also on the verge of collapse. Now, Gu Zhan He led the Beidou Gang to attack everywhere, and the demonic path also emerged from Shiwan Mountain."
"It doesn't matter." Wei Wuya said calmly: "Closing the mountains and tightening the overall situation, there is no need to worry about gains and losses. When I leave the border, it will be the time to unify Yunxi. From now on, Yunxi will only have Sword King City, and at most three By the year, Sword King City will be able to rival the two Buddhist sects and become a new martial arts holy land."
The old Heavenly Master pondered for a while and said: "Okay, I'll go and inform them to close the mountain now!"
After saying that, the Heavenly Master turned and left.
In the underground palace, Wei Wuya suddenly opened his eyes, and a bloody light filled the air. He said slowly: "The Martial Saint has taught martial arts for two thousand years, the Martial Ancestor has unified the martial arts for a thousand years, and I, Wei Wuya, will be the best for three thousand years!"
…
After the battle between good and evil in Mingyue Gorge, Yunxi once again became the focus of the entire Xia Kingdom, causing a great storm that swept the entire Xia Kingdom.
This time the turmoil was caused by one person,
A person who can single-handedly overturn an entire world - Gu Zhan, the God of Death.
The Battle of Yucheng caused a sensation in the entire Xia Kingdom in a very short period of time, and was no longer limited to Yunzhou.
The achievements he showed in that battle were spread by the media from all over the world, and for a while, it caused a lot of uproar.
The imperial court immediately disclosed to the world the identities of Gu Zhan Yunhou and the general of the Zhenjun Army, and directly characterized the Wulin League's attack on Gu Zhan as a collusion between the Wulin League and the White Lotus Sect. Yunhou Gu Zhan was ordered to guard Yunzhou.
For a time, there was a commotion in all parts of the Xia Kingdom, and the one that was talked about the most was naturally the strength that has always attracted the most attention in the world. Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no one who is the best in literature and no one in martial arts.
The wind media in various places in Xia Kingdom are similar to Yunzhou, and they all have their own local ranking methods. For example, Yunzhou has ten great masters, Qingzhou has twelve celebrities, Longzhou has eight heroes, etc.
However, each region has always ranked its own rankings. There has never been a unified national ranking. This is also due to geographical restrictions. No one dares to rank randomly. It’s okay to be in the same place. After all, they are all related to each other. They are also backed by big local forces, so if they get a ranking locally, they can usually be suppressed.
But if you dare to get a national ranking, you will be in big trouble.
After all, no one in the world can escape the word fame and fortune.
If those social media dare to conduct rankings across regions, it will easily cause disputes in various places.
Therefore, there have always been only Jianghu lists in each state.
However, this time,
Gu Zhan's battle shocked the world.
As the spread became wider and wider, many media outlets began to point out that Gu Zhan had the strength of the first grandmaster in Great Xia. Many good people also compared the achievements of some of the most famous grandmasters in the world today, and they found no success. One who can compare with Gu Zhan.
The battle in Yucheng was really terrifying.
One person can challenge six top masters, dozens of great masters, hundreds of masters, and tens of thousands of gangsters.
There are even rumors that Gu Zhan is already a legendary land god.
However, this statement was quickly denied among the upper echelons. Most people in the world have no idea what land gods are, and many people have never even heard of land gods.
It is precisely because of this that many people even think that Gu Zhan is the best in the world.
However, for those with sufficient status in the world, they know what a land immortal is, and the fact that Gu Zhan has no immortality is not a secret in Yunzhou. In addition, the methods he revealed in that battle are also It is not in line with the methods of land gods,
Therefore, the fact that Gu Zhan may already be a land god has not been widely recognized. However, many people still doubt it.
in this case,
Gu Zhan's name is completely resounding throughout the world.
…
Kyoto, ancient home.
In a large hall, a group of senior officials from the Gu family gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
Furukawa slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Look, look, what I said before, I have said it a long time ago, my brother Gu Zhan is a great man in the world, you must not listen, you saw it, Marquis Yun , the general who suppresses the army, the best master in the world,
To be honest, our Gu family has been trying to find a way forward in martial arts. In the past few years, this matter almost caused the Gu family to fall apart. I don’t need to say more about this matter, you all know it.
But now, a person who is most likely to explore a new path is right in front of you, but you don't take it seriously. Have I said before that Gu Zhan's greatest value does not lie in his power, but in the person himself. I and He is an acquaintance of those who cut one's throat to death,
I know very well how terrifying his martial arts will is. When I was in Linjiang City before, I didn't bring him to Kyoto because I knew his character very well and couldn't be restrained. It would not have been a good thing to bring him to the Gu family at that time. The Gu family's contempt for him caused conflicts.
Now, he has the qualifications to be taken seriously by our Gu family. I beg grandpa and grandma to let you join forces with him and bring the sincerity of our Gu family. Regardless of whether we can cooperate now, it is okay to leave an introduction. There is no loss. ?
But what do you do, just tell me when you come back that this guy is arrogant, domineering, willful, can't stand the test, and is not worth investing in? It’s over, it’s over like this, no one is even seen? "
The more Furukawa spoke, the more excited he became. He kicked the table over and pointed at a group of senior officials of the Gu family. With a gloomy face, he shouted filial piety: "What do you think? How do you have the courage to stand up in front of him? Gu Zhan, from a humble background. With no background, no resources, and no famous teacher, you have been able to reach this point. How do you get the qualifications to be so superior to him?
Ah, let me ask you, what are you going to investigate? Check whether he can be controlled well? Are you looking for vassals? If you need an obedient vassal, just open the door widely. Why go all the way? Isn't this a disease? "
In the hall, all the senior officials of the Gu family had ugly expressions, but no one refuted, even those of the older generation did not say a word.
There are two main reasons,
First, Furukawa's identity is that he is the elder brother of the head of the family, Gu Qingcheng, and is now the leader of the Gu family in the officialdom. His status in the Gu family is among the highest.
The second thing is that the matter is already in front of you.
The battle between Gu Zhan and Yucheng shocked the world.
Nowadays, the specific details of Gu Zhan's battle in Yucheng have been thoroughly studied by all the major forces. Although the outside world is still debating whether Gu Zhan is the best master in the world, among the top forces like the Gu family, there is no such thing. People doubted the strength of Gu Zhan, the greatest master in the world.
Because the details of that battle have been thoroughly studied, no Grandmaster dares to say that he can handle the huge commotion of the Wulin Alliance, let alone a unilateral crushing massacre like Gu Zhan's.
Moreover, all the top forces are studying the process of that battle. Many people suspect that Gu Zhan has embarked on another path of martial arts practice. Even if he did not follow it, he already has a direction. Otherwise, there would be no way. Such strong combat power.
And this alone is shocking enough.
Nowadays, all the top powers in the world are trying their best to find a new way.
The potential shown by Gu Zhan is terrifying, he is young and has no resources.
Many people are speculating that if Gu Zhan's potential is combined with the thousands of years of foundation and resources of the top forces, he will definitely be the most promising person in the world to blaze a new path in this era when the Cave Heaven Realm is about to become extinct.
And today,
The reason why Furukawa was furious at the Gu family was because the Gu family also realized Gu Zhan's potential in that piece of battle record information, and hurriedly summoned the senior members of the clan to discuss countermeasures.
As for Furukawa, he had been very unhappy a few days ago because the Gu family evaluated Gu Zhan as not suitable for the alliance. Today, he was called back and wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Gu Zhan again through his relationship. He couldn't hold back and got angry. .
The senior officials of the Gu family also knew that they were in the wrong and allowed Furukawa to get angry without saying a word.
Because if Furukawa said that,
When Rong Yichu was about to leave Beijing, Furukawa had been proposing to the Gu family to establish an alliance with Gu Zhan. He first proposed a marriage but was rejected, and then proposed establishing diplomatic relations through power.
As a result, the Gu family finally sent someone to Yunzhou, and after returning, they gave up their plan to establish diplomatic relations with Gu Zhan.
At that time, Furuchuan made a big fuss in the Gu family and left in a hurry. It was not until today that the head of the family, Gu Qingcheng, personally invited him back.
at this time,
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, and no one said a word.
Furukawa said angrily: "If the Gu family disappears one day, it will be the fault of you self-righteous people!"
At this moment, Gu Qiao, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly whispered: "It can't be said that way. Before the battle of Yucheng, who could have known that Gu Zhan could really challenge the entire world of Yunxi by himself? What he showed at that time was that he was self-willed, arrogant and domineering. Establishing diplomatic relations with him would only bring trouble to the Gu family..."
"Old Bridge!"
Furukawa suddenly turned around and looked at Guqiao with a gloomy expression. He pointed at Guqiao and said angrily: "Why do you have the nerve to say this? If I were you, I would find a place to bury myself now to avoid embarrassment! "
Being pointed and scolded directly by Furukawa, Furukashi couldn't help but said angrily: "Furukawa, don't go too far..."
"It's too much," Furukawa angrily laughed back and said, "The biggest responsibility for this matter belongs to you Furukashi. Not to mention scolding you a few words, I will beat you to death today and you deserve it!"
The Gu family sent you to Yunxi. How did you do it? You concluded that Gu Zhan was not qualified to cooperate with the Gu family without even meeting anyone. Where did you get the sense of superiority? "
Gu Qiao retorted: "But what Gu Zhan showed at that time..."
"What are you showing?" Furukawa said angrily: "Is he being arrogant? Or is he making excuses for refusing to accept defeat? There is nothing. You, Furukashi, only made your own decision after staying in the city for a few days. If you had put away your words at that time, With his aloof attitude, could you not know that he has been awarded the title of Marquis of Yun and served as the general of the Yunzhou Army?
Even if you say you didn’t know his martial arts skills could be that strong, just his status as Marquis Yun and the General of the Zhenjun is enough for our Gu family to take him seriously, right? With these two identities, plus his status as the leader of the Beidou Clan and his subordinates Jian Yi, Nangong Weiyang, and Rong Yichu, with this combination, it is no problem to seal the territory, right? Moreover, he has already cooperated with Qin Tianjian, and we all know that he can stay in one place.
Why has my Gu family grown so big that even a feudal official who controls an entire place is not qualified to take notice? With your ancient bridge? Or is it because of your superior attitude? Or do you, a great grandmaster, dare to look down on the arrogance of a twenty-year-old top master? "
Gu Qiao stammered: "But I...but I didn't know at the time that he was granted the title of Marquis of Yun...According to his behavior at that time, he was indeed headstrong, knowing that people from my Gu family were there..."
"Performance?" Furukawa sneered and said: "It's really interesting. You, an unknown person, went to the Beidou Clan to ask someone to become the top ten masters of Yunzhou at the age of twenty and control tens of thousands of people. The gang leader comes to show off in front of you. This is really the biggest joke I have ever heard in my more than 30 years of life!
Even Jian Yi, who was known as the number one master in Yunzhou at that time, was in his hands. Mr. Rong Yichu, the 17th master of Jixia Academy, was willing to surrender. Yunxi Demon Dao Jianghu, who could be suppressed with just one sword, could not hold his head up. You want people to express themselves in front of you? You still have to stand high and wait for others to please you, Guqiao, you have such a big face! "
After saying that, Furukawa smiled again and said: "In addition, even if you think he is not qualified to accept the Gu family's investment, then he is still my friend of Furukawa. As a member of my clan, as my clan sister, you can do it for me." Isn’t it an exaggeration for me to go and see him? Putting aside family interests and purely based on personal feelings, I, Furukawa’s close friend, don’t deserve to be visited by you Furukashi? He is my brother who has depended on me in life and death. !”
Guqiao opened his mouth, but didn't know what else to say.
at this time,
Sitting on the main seat, the head of the family, Gu Qingcheng, who had been silent for a long time, slowly said: "Brother, you are almost done with your anger. Let's discuss the business. If Gu Qiao doesn't do things well, the clan will punish her."
Furukawa shook his head slightly and said: "Second sister, there is nothing to talk about. I came back today just to vent my anger, because what you did really made me angry. I have been Holding my breath, I knew that my brother Gu Zhan would definitely let it out for me.
It’s just that I didn’t expect it to be so fast and fun. I feel really happy now. Just a while ago, when I asked you not to draw conclusions too early, what did you say one by one? Now, is it a slap in the face?
Okay, I'm happy now. Other things have nothing to do with me. Let's go. You can play by yourself. You are all really good. Everyone knows that Wang Zuozhi is a talented person and Rong Yichu is famous. Even he is willing to bow down. People, you actually look down on me, you are awesome, you are really awesome, you are all smarter than Rong Yichu! "
After all,
Furukawa simply tossed his sleeves and turned to go out.
At this moment, an elder from the ancient family hurriedly shouted: "Furukawa, don't be willful. Gu Zhan is very likely to have mastered a new method of cultivation. This is..."
"enough,"
Furukawa turned his back to everyone and said: "Even now, you still look down on him. You are just looking at him because he may have a new method of practice. But I am different. He is the person to whom I have entrusted my life." Brothers, you are now thinking of letting me use this friendship to kidnap him, I, Furukawa, would rather die than become such a villain!"
After saying that, Furukawa strode away directly.
All the senior officials wanted to stop him, but were stopped by Gu Qingcheng.
"Master of the family," an elder said, "Furukawa is too willful and completely indifferent!"
A smile appeared on Gu Qingcheng's peerless face, and he said: "Dear clan elders, you have also watched my brother grow up. His character has always been like this. If not for this, I am afraid he would not have become enemies with Gu Zhan. The neck is crossed, let him go!"
"But……"
"It's nothing," Gu Qingcheng waved his hand and said, "When Gu Zhan first became famous in Yunxi, my brother had already suggested to the clan many times that he could develop in Yunxi. But now, he has lost his relationship with Gu Zhan. The best time to establish diplomatic relations was originally a mistake made within our Gu family and had nothing to do with my brother.
Secondly, it is indeed very possible that Gu Zhan has mastered the new method of cultivation. Of course, it is more likely that he has always mastered it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that he could go from a person who is not familiar with martial arts to what he is today in a short period of time. This step, however, is a personal karma method.
Just because he has an irreproachable relationship with my brother, doesn’t it mean that my Gu family deserves this fate? If you don't get it, you will become enemies because of it? This is really unjustifiable, and this kind of mentality is really unacceptable. I hope everyone can correct their attitudes in the future. Compared with other aristocratic families, we still have a bit of love with Gu Zhan, rather than any grudges! "
All the senior officials were silent.
After a long time, Gu Qiao suddenly stood up and said: "Master, this is all my fault. How about I go to Yunxi again?"
Gu Qingcheng waved his hand and said, "No, Gu Zhan knows that you are going to Yunxi. If you go again now, you are just asking for trouble."
"Is this the end of it?" Someone said: "The head of the family...even if Gu Zhan doesn't have a new way to practice, he is very likely to find a new way to practice with his martial arts will. We..."
Gu Qingcheng waved his hand and said: "Since we all know his potential and the value of the new cultivation method, why do you think Gu Zhan will hand it over? You can't just think about getting it from others. Since you want To obtain benefits from him, do we have to first consider what we can give him in return?"
An elder asked: "Then, what does the head of the family plan?"
Gu Qingcheng thought for a while and said: "The situation in Yunzhou is very unclear, but from the overall situation, Yunxi should be able to stand on three sides for a while. For the time being, don't bother Gu Zhan.
However, now that his battle in Yucheng has become famous all over the world, many people are eyeing him. Now, which of the three sects, four sects and eight major sects has not explored new methods of cultivation? Although Gu Zhan has only shown some signs, he is staring at him. There will definitely be many people falling in love with him, and with Gu Zhan's proud character, he might one day come into conflict with other sects. "
An elder suddenly said: "What does the head of the family mean, in exchange for threatening Gu Zhan, we will protect him and he will give us the method of cultivation?"
Gu Qingcheng shook her head and said, "No."
The elder asked doubtfully: "What does the head of the family mean?"
Gu Qingcheng said slowly: "I just thought about the life-and-death relationship between my brother and Gu Zhan, and suddenly I thought of a sentence, treat others with sincerity, and you will be treated with sincerity. I am curious about what kind of person Gu Zhan is, To be able to treat my brother so sincerely after being friends with him for a few months, I want to meet Gu Zhan in person."
The elder was surprised and said: "Master, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Qingcheng said slowly: "You think the method of cultivation is more important. But throughout the past and present, there has never been a time when no family was destroyed in troubled times. Therefore, sometimes choices are also very important. The current world situation is too chaotic, and the Gu family has I can't stand the second time, so I hope that Gu Zhan is as worthy of the Gu family's support as my brother believes in him.
If he is really that kind of person, what kind of cultivation method is valued by everyone in the world, but in my eyes, how can it compare with him? "
