C828 The Gu Family Coaxed Them

The forces that had joined the Xiao Ao Palace were divided into different peaks. The Xiao Ao Palace's forces had already started to take shape.

At the same time, Ling Xiao accepted Xuan Yao's suggestion and started to prepare for the trial. He wanted to absorb some fresh blood and let them become the first generation disciples of the Xiao Ao Palace.

Of course, the selection process was extremely strict. Only those with outstanding talent could enter the Xiao Ao Palace and become disciples.

Ling Xiao and Xuan Yao's goal was to avoid using them.

As soon as this news was announced, all the warriors in the cities near Wind Cloud City sent their children to City Lord's Mansion as if they had been injected with stimulants.

The first batch of people only needed five thousand people. If they were late, they would lose their chance.

Those young men who worshipped Ling Xiao were also full of hot blood and anticipation.

However, as a Palace Master, Ling Xiao did not want to get involved in these matters. He arranged for the three pavilions and the elders of the halls to get involved in this matter.

It had to be said that this Palace Master of Ling Xiao was really too lazy.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed. Cann Bao, Liu Qun, Yang Xianfeng, and Ye Yunfeng sent people to send back good news one after another.

When those major and minor powers heard that Ling Xiao was going to establish a major power, most of them were willing to surrender and become one of the subordinate powers of Xiao Ao Palace. Every year, they would pay tribute on time.

Only a small portion of the powers that still wanted to maintain their independence were conquered by them with force.

In this world, whoever had a strong fist would be the boss.

In an instant, the territory occupied by the Xiao Ao Palace expanded at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the name "Xiao Ao Palace" was spread all over the Central Region.

A newly established sect actually expanded the invitation to invite many famous sects and families above the Fourth Stage to participate in the grand opening ceremony.

This matter had caused quite a stir in Central Region.

Some people thought that Xiao Ao Palace was too conceited. Why did they invite so many forces to participate in the grand opening ceremony? At that time, no power would be able to go there, and they would become a laughing stock.

Some people thought that the Xiao Ao Palace had the courage to do so. With Ling Xiao's name, it was indeed enough to spread invitations to many major powers. Ling Xiao must have the identity of Evil Monarch Feng Liu's only disciple on his head. This level of relationship was enough to make the older generation of Central Region look up to and respect him.

In the Gu family, a group of higher-ups gathered in the main hall for a meeting.

As the current patriarch of Gu family, Gu Ann sat at the head seat with an ugly expression on his face. A series of unforeseen events had happened in Gu family over the years, and the family had lost many of their senior elders. This incident had caused the Gu family's strength to drop drastically. However, another faction of the family had chosen to accuse him of being inappropriate, which resulted in this result. As the head of the family, he was accused of being unable to explain himself. He was extremely aggrieved in his heart!

Gu Mu, Gu Ann's cousin, was on par with the Gu family. They were both at the Celestial Sovereign of High Rank realm. Of course, the two of them had once drawn their swords to fight for the position of family head. In the end, Gu Mu still lost, and Gu Ann became the family head.

Gu Mu had been suppressed by Gu Ann all these years. As a direct descendant of the Gu family, he didn't think that he was weaker than Gu An, but the position of patriarch had fallen to him.

Now, after many years of competition, Gu Ann had finally fallen to a young junior.

First, his grandson was killed by someone else, and then he released the Ancient Slaughter Order. Not only did he not kill the murderer, but he also caused the death of the senior elders. This gave Gu Mu the chance to make a fuss out of it.

However, this opportunity could not be found so easily. He must seize the most suitable opportunity and give Gu Ann a heavy punch.

Today, Gu Mu had the chance to strike.

Now, a golden invitation appeared in Gu Ann's hand. After he finished reading the golden invitation, his expression turned extremely green.

Slap!

He slammed his palm heavily, shattering the armrests of the tables and chairs beside him.

"Ridiculous! Don't tell me that little bastard really thinks that there is no one in the Gu family!" Gu Ann roared angrily.

The invitation card in his hand undoubtedly came from the Xiao Ao Palace, and the Palace Master of the Xiao Ao Palace was undoubtedly Ling Xiao. The person whom their Ancient Slaughter Order hadn't killed until now was precisely the person who caused the Gu family to lose so many men and made them lose all face.

The Xiao Ao Palace and the Gu family were originally enemies, but the Xiao Ao Palace still sent the invitation card to the Gu family. Without a doubt, this had ruthlessly covered the faces of all the people of the Gu family.

In the main hall, the expressions of everyone from the Gu family became complicated.

How many years had it been since their Gu family was looked down upon like this? Now, they were being looked down upon by a new force. It was truly difficult for them to swallow this anger.

However, when they thought about how many Grand Elders would never return, they had no choice but to accept this unbearable reality.

"What do you guys think we should do about this?" Gu Ann asked the people present.

As soon as he finished speaking, Someone immediately responded, "Of course not, With the reputation of the Gu family, there's no need for us to attend the grand opening ceremony of a small power.

"That's right, the Xiao Ao Palace is nothing. The Black Devil Sect is close to them. It won't be long before they disappear into the long river of history.

"That's right. The reason why the Black Devil Sect hasn't made a move is probably to wait for them to expand before giving them a blow. We just need to wait and watch the show.

"Not only that, we can also secretly add insult to injury and deal with that little bastard when the time comes. "Kill them all.

...

All the elders of the Gu family were scolding the Xiao Ao Palace, but they were just trying to hide their fear.

After everyone quieted down, Gu Mu finally cleared his throat and spoke.

"I think the opening ceremony of the Xiao Ao Palace must be attended!" Gu Mu said confidently.

Gu Ann looked unhappy. "Elder Gu Mu. What do you mean by this? The Xiao Ao Palace is our enemy, so we should kill them as soon as possible. How dare you propose to participate in their grand opening ceremony?

Gu Ann naturally didn't know what Gu Mu was planning, but he knew that since his cousin had spoken, he must be preparing to fight him.

Gu Mu took a step forward and said with a cold smile, "As a third-grade power, our Gu family has existed for more than thirty thousand years. Wei He Central Region. Recently, it was because of our selfish desires. This has caused us to lose a lot of our men. This is truly a tragedy for our Gu family. Now that the enemy had just established their power, they had the guts to invite the Gu family. However, we don't have the courage to accept the invitation, which makes us even more afraid of them. If this matter were to spread, I'm afraid that everyone would laugh at our Gu family for being a coward. The ancestors of the Gu family would also jump out and scold us for being cowards.

When Gu Mu said this, everyone's expression changed.

Gu Mu's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to their hearts. His words were direct and direct, but it also went straight to their vitals, making them speechless.

The Gu family was listed as one of the eighteen major powers, but they were so frightened by a new power that they didn't dare to invite them to attend the ceremony. If news of this got out, they would lose all their face.

Gu Ann said angrily, "What do you mean by selfish desires? Gu Mu, what do you mean by that? Do you think I did something wrong?

Gu Mu looked at Gu An and said, "Master, I didn't want to say anything about your decision, but for the sake of the many Supreme Elders who died, I had no choice but to stand up and say something fair." He paused for a moment and said, "Do you still remember why we sent out the Ancient Slaughter Order to kill Ling Xiao?

Back then, the Ancient Slaughter Order was sent out after a unanimous meeting. None of them knew why Gu Mu had brought it up again.

Gu Ann sat on the seat and sneered, "Ling Xiao killed many of our Gu family's rising talents and stole our family's medicinal Gu familys. It's only natural for him to release the Ancient Slaughter Order.

Gu Mu looked around the crowd and said, "Chief, do you know why the young men of our Gu family were killed? They were still fine when the battle for the Imperial Ranking ended. It was only after they went to hunt Ling Xiao down that they were killed by him...

Gu Ann didn't wait for Gu Mu to finish his sentence. He immediately shouted, "Are you saying that the people of Gu family are asking for trouble?

Gu Mu shook his head and said, "You misunderstood me. They are all outstanding young men who participated in the Imperial Ranking competition. It's normal to have grudges in the battle for the Imperial Ranking, but as far as I know, Yu Fei who was killed should be the grandson of the family head. It was because he was killed by Ling Xiao that you gathered everyone. Announce the Ancient Slaughter Order. If it was someone else's child who was killed, I wonder if Family Head will release medicinal Ling Xiaos?

Gu Ann said without hesitation," Of course I will!

Suddenly, Gu Mu revealed a ferocious smile and said, "Haha... Family Head, you deserve it too quickly. Do you still remember that more than ten years ago, Gu Tianhai was also a rising star of our Gu family. He was also killed in the medicinal Imperial Rankings. Did you ask someone to release the Ancient Slaughter Order back then? I remember... you didn't release it back then, did you?

"Gu Tianhai?" "Gu Tianhai?" Gu Ann asked.2

This Gu Tianhai seemed to be a direct descendant of Gu Mu. He was killed in the Imperial Ranking by someone from the Black Devil Sect. At that time, Gu Mu requested the release of the Ancient Slaughter Order. In the end, Gu Ann didn't agree. It was all because the Black Devil Sect was too powerful that he had some concerns.

"That's right, that poor child. If he hadn't died, he would have become the new leader of the Gu family." Gu Mu said with a sad expression. Then he changed the topic." Let's not talk about these old things. Take the current situation as an example. Ling Xiao is Evil Monarch's only disciple, and he has a lot of reliance on him. Patriarch, you have yet to release the Ancient Slaughter Order in your Chu state, which caused the death of many of our Grand Elders. Don't you think that your decision has failed?

Gu Mu's aura was overbearing, and he looked like he was forcing his way into the palace!

"Are you accusing the Family Head of not handling things properly?" Gu Ann shouted with an ugly look on his face.

The other elders who supported Gu Ann also had ugly expressions on their faces. The elders who supported Gu Mu also showed a hint of excitement.

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, "Gu Mu! What Gu Ann said was right. Gu Ann's Ancient Slaughter Order had severely damaged the Gu family's Yuan Qi. It was no longer suitable for you to assume the position of patriarch.
