C1664 The Pain of the Guan Family
Lee Yifann glanced at Guan Shun and Guan Ziloong. Both of them nodded and said, "Third Grandpa is right."
In the Guan family, he was selected to guard the seal of the Devil Spirit Space. Not only did they have to endure loneliness, but they also had to keep their mouths shut. No matter what, they must not reveal the method of opening the formation, in order to prevent the method of opening the formation from being leaked out. He wanted someone else to release the Devil Spirit and bring chaos to the world.
"Then why did you agree to let Gou Su enter the Devil Spirit Space?" Lee Yifann still did not understand this point. Gou Su himself did not seem to be a martial artist. Go in. Logically speaking, Devil Spirit Space should be doomed, but not only did he survive, but he also survived. He even brought out the fur of the Devil Spirit and spread the news.
"This..." The old man's face revealed a hesitant expression, as if it was somewhat difficult to say.
"Let me answer this question on Third Grandpa's behalf." Guan Shun said in a deep voice, "This matter is very complicated to explain, and Third Grandpa has no choice but to do so. The situation in Devil Spirit Space is far more complicated than you can imagine. Although I have never been in there before, but according to what Big Grandfather and the others said... The interior is very big, and it has a completely different world. Not only were there many Devil Spirits sealed within, there were also some corpses of predecessors. There are even some remnant souls of predecessors."
"Remnant souls?" Lee Yifann raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, it's not just the remnant souls of our Guan Family's old ancestors, but also the remnant souls of some of the other old ancestors. This seal had existed for a very long time. It had existed since the establishment of the Shanghai University. A hundred years ago, when the Devil Spirit broke through the seal, it was even earlier than the catastrophe. The Devil Spirit had broken through the seal before. Every time, in order to reseal the Devil Spirit and quell the chaos, the predecessors had all sacrificed a lot. Inevitably, casualties were unavoidable. Some of the seniors even died, but their remnant souls still protected the space. They are doing this to prevent the Devil Spirit from causing trouble."
Hearing this, Lee Yifann couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.
It was said that the Heavenly Dao was heartless. People nowadays were cold-blooded and heartless. However, there would always be people who shed their heads and shed their blood in any era. Even if they died, they would still protect the people in the form of remnant souls.
Last time in Ancient Ruins, Lee Yifann met such a person. There was a large number of Devil Spirits suppressed there, and a few old monsters who had died a long time ago were guarding the seal.
After that, Lee Yifann thought of something, "If that's the case, Gou Su will be able to come back alive after entering Devil Spirit Space. Is it because of the souls of those predecessors? But at the same time, it also means that... this spatial zone is going to collapse soon, right? "
He recalled what Wen Tiren had said earlier. It seemed like the seal of Devil Spirit Space wouldn't last long.
"Yes!" Guan Shun nodded slightly. "We will not hide it from you. Gou Su will find out about the existence of Devil Spirit Space. It was Third Grandpa who specifically reminded him. It was also Third Grandpa who opened the Teleportation Array and let him in. He was able to come out because of the help of those senior's remnant souls. A few months ago, the remnant souls in the spatial zone had sent a message to Third Grandpa. They had said... A crack had appeared in the spatial zone, and it seemed like it wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. Eldest grandfather and the others had entered the space to investigate, and the situation was very serious. As a last resort, the big grandpa decided to spread the news about the Devil Spirit Space. However, we can't let too many people know about it. Otherwise, it will definitely cause panic among the people."
To put it bluntly, Gou Su was a medium to spread the news.
When Lee Yifann heard that, he could not help frowning. "But there is no need to let Gou Su spread the news, right? Can't you guys do it yourselves?"
"No!" Guan Shun shook his head. "We can't. Anyone can spread the news, except for the Guan family."
Lee Yifann was stunned. "Not even your family? Why?"
Guan Shun smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness, "There are some things that I don't know how to explain. Although the Guan family is the guardian family of the Devil Spirit Space, but the situation is very bad. All these years, in order to protect the seal, they have been injured or killed. There weren't too many people left in the family. For example, Second Grandpa was already dead. In my father's generation, only Eldest Uncle and my father are left. Second Uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle and the rest are all dead. These matters cannot be spread."
Lee Yifann immediately understood what he meant.
As a family that protected the seal of the Devil Spirit, the biggest requirement was not to be strong, but to keep a secret and keep a low profile.
The Devil Spirit was an evil creature that should not be known by others, and the family that protected the seal naturally could not let others know. This was not only a necessary requirement, but also a realistic requirement.
Think about it, if everyone knew that the Guan family protected the seal of the Devil Spirit, not only would it attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives, it would also put the family in a dangerous situation.
If the Guan family was very powerful, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now, if the news of a family that had fallen into decline was spread, what would other people think?
They were afraid that some people would become restless.
However, even if the Guan Family was so vigilant and guarded, they would try to cover up the news as much as possible. He still let some people with ulterior motives sneak into the team. If this was to make the real situation of the Guan family public... Those with ulterior motives would immediately increase by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.
"The family has never announced that they have any relationship with the Devil Spirit to the public. They would never say that the family is guarding the seal of the Devil Spirit. When the clan members died, they also announced that there was an accident. They either handled it according to the traffic accident, or handled it according to the accident. Therefore, on the surface, no one knew that the Guan Family was a family that guarded the seal of the Devil Spirit. " A hint of sadness flashed across Guan Shun's face in an instant.
The Guan family had made an unimaginable sacrifice, but they could only play an unknown role.
Lee Yifann was silent in his heart, "Then, when you showed up today, wasn't it..."
"You can rest assured about that. The people who were originally involved in this operation... We have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and we can't let anything out of here." Guan Shun replied, "You might not need to sign it. I believe Wen Tiren respects you so much. He should tell you. "
Lee Yifann nodded. Even if he did not sign the confidentiality agreement, he would not make a public announcement.
"As for Gou Su, he also signed the confidentiality agreement. In the beginning, Third Grandpa had chosen to let him spread the news after careful consideration. The matter of the Devil Spirit could only be known to the people of Martial Dao Clan. We can't take the initiative to look for the people of the Heavenly Dao Team, otherwise, we will go and make a mistake. It will cause a huge mess. Ordinary people might ignore the warning given by Third Grandpa at the beginning. However, Gou Su showed his curiosity and went to investigate on his own. After that, Third Grandpa told him about the matter, and he was willing to take the risk. " Guan Shun felt helpless. The Guan family was in a very difficult situation. So much so that they had to be very careful with every step, as if they were walking on thin ice. They didn't even dare to ask for help openly.1
"Sigh! Unfortunately, Gou Su did spread the news, but he was killed by someone. Until now, we still don't know who the murderer is." Guan Ziloong looked irritated.
Lee Yifann focused his eyes and thought for a moment. "I think I know who killed Gou Su."
