C829 Each of Them Had Their Own Plans
The person who came was Gu Ai, who had escaped under the Earth Flame Tiger during the battle at the Heavenly Lake.
Back then, Gu Ai had led the other nine Imperial Rank warriors of the Gu family to the Heaven's End Lake to eliminate Ling Xiao.
Every single one of these Imperial Rank warriors was the strongest elite warriors of the Gu family.
But in the end, he was the only one who managed to escape. Even the eighth grade Lei Shee was left behind.
That battle was the most unforgettable defeat in Gu Ai's life.
When he returned to his family, he began to investigate why the Gu family had offended such a powerful enemy.
He had witnessed the battle between Ling Xiao and Woo Bufan with his own eyes that day. He knew Ling Xiao's potential very well. Once he broke through to the Imperial Rank realm, no one would be able to keep him unless he was a saint-level master. Besides, there were also many powerful experts helping him. His power was not much weaker than their true foundation.
He didn't understand why the Gu family was so stupid to offend such a young man with unlimited potential.
It would be better if he didn't understand. After understanding, he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
It turned out that it was only because of some conflicts between the young men, and also because of a broken spear that they couldn't control, that they had lost ten Imperial Rank warriors.
Such a price had already damaged the foundation of the Gu family.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, Gu Ai had directly accused Gu Ann of this crime.
He felt that if it wasn't for Gu Ann releasing the Ancient Slaughter Order, they wouldn't have provoked such a strong enemy.
Now that the other party had established a force, it was even more difficult for the Gu family to get rid of them. Now, they had to change their strategy to deal with it.
Gu Ai couldn't vent his anger. Therefore, Gu Ann was going to be the first one to vent his anger.
Gu Ai had a very high position in the Gu family. The moment he opened his mouth, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.
Gu Ann's face was livid and unconvinced, but Gu Mu was incomparably delighted. Both of their expressions were the complete opposite.
"Let Gu Ben take over the position of family head for now!" Gu Ai ignored Gu Ann's expression and said coldly.
"Old patriarch, please give up your seat." Gu Mu said to Gu Ann with a smile.
He and Gu Ann were of the same generation, but they claimed Gu Ann was the "old patriarch." This was a great irony to Gu Ann.
"You... you guys... Wah!" Gu Ann was so angry that he could not speak. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Gu Ai did not have the slightest bit of pity and said, "How can you be the head of a family with such a temperament? Take him away and let him face the wall for a hundred years as punishment!
As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed up and carried Gu Ann out.
Gu Mu boldly sat on the seat of the head of the family, his face full of joy.
However, he didn't look pleased. Instead, he announced to the people present, "There is something that I want to tell everyone. It is that the Gu family is preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Ghost Secluded Sect. The marriage alliance between our granddaughter, Gu Xiaohe, and the new generation of the Ghost Secluded Sect, Guizi, has been reached. I have already reached an agreement with the Ghost Secluded Sect. The Ghost Secluded Sect has promised to go to the Xiao Ao Palace together with us to meet Ling Xiao on the day of the opening ceremony of the Xiao Ao Palace, to resolve the enmity between the Gu family and the Xiao Ao Palace. What do you guys think?
Gu Ai said from the side," The eighth grade Lei Shee was killed by Ling Xiao as well. If you think you can fight against him, you can oppose him.
As soon as these words were spoken, As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders were shocked once again.
They all knew that Gu Ai had once led the Gu family's Grand Elder to kill Ling Xiao, but in the end, he was the only one who returned. They did not know that even the eighth grade sect protecting Spirit Beast, Lei Shee, would not be able to return.
At this time, they all felt a sense of fear in their hearts.
None of them agreed to Gu Mu's suggestion without any hesitation. The marriage alliance between the Gu family and the Ghost Secluded Sect was confirmed just like that.
They were sure that they would take back the Ancient Slaughter Order and stop pursuing Ling Xiao. They were even more prepared to negotiate peace with Ling Xiao.
If this matter were to spread, the prestige of the Gu family would be greatly affected.
However, Gu Ai had no choice but to make this decision.
Although the foundation of the Gu family had been shaken, they were not afraid of fighting Ling Xiao to the death.
If that was the case, they were afraid that the Gu family would suffer a great loss and their foundation would be completely shaken. At that time, the Gu family would fall out of the eighteen major powers and might even be taken over by the other powers.
This was something that Gu Ai didn't want to see.
He would rather let Ling Xiao live than fight to the death with Ling Xiao.
Therefore, Gu Ai hoped that he could work together with the Ghost Secluded Sect to settle the score with Ling Xiao during the Ao Palace Ceremony.
He believed that Ling Xiao would be tactful and wouldn't dare to completely fall out with the two major powers.
...
In the spatial zone of Black Devil Sect, there was a black rocky area.
This place was filled with a dense black mass. Occasionally, there would be a lot of chilly winds blowing, making people feel cold. Occasionally, one could even see skeletons on the ground. These skeletons did not only have Spirit Beasts, but also humans. It was as if this was the hell of the human world, making people unable to sense any life force. There was only a strong sense of desolation and death.
There were nearly a hundred bare mountain rocks here. Waves of death Qi lingered unceasingly within the tallest mountain. One could even hear a series of miserable cries. It was as if there were countless vengeful souls shouting, causing one to feel incomparably dark and terrifying.
There was a grand hall there. The hall was like a wild beast as it carried an incomparably oppressive aura as it attacked. Numerous enormous medicinal Spirit Beast bone heads hung on the corners of the roof of the hall. They were so ferocious and terrifying.
Within the hall, three people were kneeling on the ground. Their expressions were incomparably respectful.
In the middle of the hall, there was a phantom sitting on the upper seat. Yes, it was a phantom and not a physical body.
This figure was the divine sense of the Sect Master of Black Devil Sect, Black Demon.
The person kneeling before him was Black Demon's disciple, Eagle King, who had appeared before. Beside him was a man who was slightly younger than him, but his Qi was much stronger than his. This man had already reached the peak of Profound Monarch of Middle Rank realm, and could take another step forward at any time to reach the high Profound Monarch realm.
This man was the senior brother of Eagle King, and also the leader of the Wolf Hawk Dark Guards, Ye Lang.
Beside them was an old man. The wrinkles on his old face were folded into layers, like old tree bark, rough and hideous. There were still a few strands of white hair on his bald head that hadn't completely fallen off, making him look very comical. There was a deep cut on half of his face, and it even blinded his eye.
When timid people saw this old man, they would be almost blinded by his old face. They couldn't help but be frightened.
If Cann Bao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this man. He was one of his brothers back then and was also the leader of the people who betrayed him. The blade on his face was the blade that Cann Bao left for him when he fought back.
This man's name was Shi Yidao. When he betrayed Cann Bao back then, he had also reached the Advanced Profound Monarch Cultivation Level realm, and was Cann Bao's most reliable assistant. Now, he was no longer a Profound Monarch Cultivation Level. He had already become a Saint, and had gained more longevity.
"Why are you all so anxious to summon me?" Black Demon, who was sitting on the top seat, asked indifferently.
Although Black Demon only had a divine sense, his strength was at the Saint realm. It really made people feel that his strength was unfathomable!
As the chief disciple of Black Demon, Ye Lang was the first to speak, "Master, that Ling Xiao has already established the Xiao Ao Palace and expanded the invitation. He plans to hold the grand opening ceremony a few months later. I think that we can't let that brat continue running amok. Master, please let me lead some people to annihilate the Xiao Ao Palace!
The Eagle King also took the opportunity to say, "That's right. If the Xiao Ao Palace continues to act wildly, where will our Devil Sect's dignity and master's dignity be?
The Eagle King still remembered that more than a year ago, he almost lost his life in the Death Mountain Range. He had already swallowed this resentment for a long time. He wished that he could immediately stop and bring people to kill the Xiao Ao Palace, wiping out all the people of the Xiao Ao Palace. Especially that kid who was only a Celestial Sovereign of High Rank, he really wanted to tear him into pieces!
After he escaped, it wasn't that he didn't want to immediately go back and look for Ling Xiao and the others' bad luck. It was that he didn't have this ability. His master's true body was not in the sect all along, and he didn't know where to cultivate and close it. He couldn't be shocked unless he had to.
His master didn't order them to go and eliminate Ling Xiao and the others. He, the Eagle King, didn't dare to make the decision on his own, and those old men in the sect might not listen to him.
When his senior brother returned, he would have the chance to see his master again. He hoped that his master could persuade his master to send someone to eliminate the Xiao Ao Palace and kill Ling Xiao.0
Black Demon was silent for a moment. He looked at Shi Yidao and said, "Uncle Shi, do you think the same as them?
Shi Yidao replied, "That's right. Since Feng Ya is still alive and has broken through to the Saint realm, we can't let him live in case he becomes a potential threat in the future.
Shi Yidao, the hatred on his face was engraved in his heart for the rest of his life. Although that person had already been killed, as that person's best brother, Feng Ya, was still alive, so Feng Ya should have a taste of this hatred!
"Since that's the case, you guys can go and destroy the Xiao Ao Palace. However... they have the help of a middle-grade Tier 8 Shapeshifting Spirit Beast, so it's not that easy to destroy them. Ye Lang, go and invite the Four-horned Devil Ox out. Just say that it's my sect master's wish. This battle will only allow victory and not defeat!
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Demon's figure gradually faded away.
The three of them said at the same time, "We respectfully send Master (Sect Master).
"This is great. With the help of the Four-horned Devil Ox, "Those idiots from the Xiao Ao Palace must be eliminated!" The Eagle King shouted excitedly.
Ye Lang coldly looked at him from the side and said, "Master agreed that we should eliminate the Xiao Ao Palace. However, we can't kill the Gu family for nothing. We'll have to wait until they start fighting before we can kill them all in one fell swoop!
"Ye Lang is right. The mantis stalks the cicada. The oriole is at the back. We can only be the oriole and reap the profits!" Shi Yidao chimed in from the side.
Eagle King said, "But they stole our high-grade crystal mine. If they fall into the hands of others...
"It's ours, no one can move!" Ye Lang didn't wait for him to finish his sentence and immediately interrupted.
Looking at his cold and confident eyes, it gave people a feeling that there was no doubt about it.
The Eagle King also swallowed back what he wanted to say and secretly said in his heart, "Alright then. Then let that bunch of trash live a few more days!
