Chapter 823 Inner Furuya
Chapter 823
Those outside forces that joined the Smiling Proud Palace were organized under each peak, and the forces of the Smiling Proud Palace had begun to take shape.
At the same time, Ling Xiao also accepted Xuan Yao's suggestion, and began to prepare the place for trial training, absorbing some fresh blood, making them the first generation disciples of Xiaoao Palace.
Of course, the selection process is extremely strict, only those with outstanding aptitude can enter the Xiaoao Palace and become disciples.
The tenet of Ling Xiao and Xuan Yao is the principle of rather lacking than using.
This news has just been announced, and all the martial artists in many cities near Fengyun City sent their children to the City Lord's Mansion one after another as if they had been beaten to death.
After all, the first batch of places only needs 5,000 people, if you are late, you will lose your chance.
Those teenagers who respect and worship Ling Xiao are also full of passion and anticipation.
It's just that Ling Xiao, as the palace lord, didn't want to get involved in these matters, and arranged for the three pavilions and the elders of each hall to participate in this matter, so he let it go.
It has to be said that Ling Xiao is too lazy to be the Palace Master.
In a blink of an eye, three months passed, and Can Bao, Liu Qun, Yang Xianfeng and Ye Yunfeng all sent people back with good news.
Those forces, large and small, heard that Ling Xiao wanted to establish an influence, and most of them were willing to surrender voluntarily, becoming one of the affiliated forces of Xiaoao Palace, and paying tribute on time every year.
Only a small number of forces that still wanted to remain independent were directly conquered by force.
In this world, whoever has a hard fist is the boss.
For a moment, the territory occupied by Xiaoao Palace expanded at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, the word "Smiling Proud Palace" among the major forces in the Central Territory was also widely circulated.
A newly-established sect force unexpectedly extended invitations to invite many sects and families who are famous above rank four to attend its opening ceremony.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Central Region.
Some people think that Xiaoao Palace is too conceited, why invite so many influencers to participate in the opening ceremony? At that time, no one force will go there, I'm afraid it will be reduced to a laughing cake.
There are also people who think that Xiaoao Palace has extraordinary courage. With Ling Xiao's name, it is indeed enough to extend invitations to many forces. After all, Ling Xiao has the identity of the only disciple of the Merry Evil Emperor. People of the older generation in Zhongyu looked up to and respected him.
A group of high-level members of the Gu family gathered in the main hall to discuss matters.
As the contemporary Patriarch of the Gu Family, Gu An sat on the head seat with a very ugly expression. In the next few years, a series of changes occurred in the Gu Family. People feel that they are angry, but another faction of the family has singled out him as the Patriarch for inappropriate things, which led to this result. He, the Patriarch, was so accused that he couldn't explain it, and he was really aggrieved in his heart!
Gu Ben, Gu An's cousin, is comparable in strength to the Gu family, both in the high-level Tianzun realm. Of course, the two once drew their swords to each other for the position of Patriarch, but in the end Gu Ben lost, and Gu An became the Patriarch.
These years, Gu Ben was oppressed by Gu An, he was also a direct descendant of the Gu family, he didn't think his ability was inferior to Gu An, but the position of Patriarch did not fall to him.
It's all right now, after years of rivalry, Gu'an finally fell on a young junior.
First, his grandson was killed by others, and thus the ancient killing order was issued. Not only did the murderer not be killed, but the elders at the top level were repeatedly damaged. This gave Gu Ben a chance to go crazy.
However, this opportunity can't just appear casually, and one must seize the most suitable opportunity to give Gu'an a heavy blow.
On this day, Gu Ben had a chance to make a move.
Now, there is an extra golden invitation in Gu'an's hand. After reading the golden invitation, his expression is extremely green.
Snapped!
He slapped the palm of his hand hard, smashing the armrest of the table and chair beside him.
"It's unreasonable, does that little bastard really think that there is no one in our ancient family!" Gu'an roared angrily.
The invitation in his hand is undoubtedly from the Xiaoao Palace, and the owner of the Xiaoao Palace is undoubtedly Ling Xiao. They have not killed anyone since the ancient killing order was issued. The person who humiliated the Gu family.
The Xiaoao Palace and the Gu family are hostile forces, but the Xiaoao Palace still sends invitations to the Gu family, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of all of their Gu family.
In the main hall, the expressions of everyone in the Gu family became complicated.
It has been so many years, their ancient family has never been so despised by others, but now it is so despised by a new force, it is really hard for them to swallow this breath.
However, when they thought that many Supreme Elders were gone forever, they had to accept this uncomfortable fact.
"What do you say about this matter?" Gu'an asked the people present.
As soon as his words fell, someone immediately responded, "Of course we can't go to this matter. With the name of our ancient family, there is no need to participate in the opening ceremony of a mere small power."
"That's right, what is the Xiaoao Palace? The Black Demon Sect is a close neighbor to them. It won't be long before they will disappear in the long river of history."
"That's right, the reason why the Black Demon Sect has not moved is probably because they waited for them to expand before giving them a head-on blow. We just need to wait and watch the show."
"Not only that, but when the time comes, we can also secretly get into trouble and completely kill that little bastard."
...
All the elders of the Gu family say, they are nothing more than insults against Xiaoao Palace, but they are just covering up the panic in their hearts.
After everyone quieted down for a while, Gu Ben finally cleared his throat and spoke.
"I think the opening ceremony of the Xiaoao Palace must be attended!" Gu Ben said confidently.
Gu'an flashed a bit of displeasure and said, "Elder Gu Ben, what do you mean, Xiaoao Gongben is our enemy, you should kill them before you go, and you actually proposed to participate in their opening ceremony?".
Gu An naturally didn't know what Gu Ben was going to do, but he knew that since his cousin had spoken, he was definitely going to play against him.
Gu Ben took a step forward and said with a sneer, "Our Gu family has existed for more than 30,000 years as a third-rank power. Recently, due to our own selfish desires, our Gu family has repeatedly lost its personnel. This matter is really our Gu family's fault." Sad, now that the enemy has just established a power, since he has the guts to invite our Gu family, we have no guts to accept the invitation. It seems that our Gu family is afraid of others. If this news gets out, everyone will laugh at our Gu family as a coward. , the ancestors of the ancient family will also jump out and call us cowards."
As soon as Gu Ben said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.
Gu Ben's words undoubtedly struck a heavy blow in their hearts. He spoke directly, but also hit the point, leaving them speechless.
Their ancient family was listed as one of the major powers of the 18 parties, but they were so frightened by a rising power that they dared not invite them to watch the ceremony. When the news got out, they really felt ashamed.
Gu An said angrily, "Why is it because of my own selfish desires? Gu Ben, what do you mean by that? Do you think I did something wrong?".
Gu Ben met Gu An's eyes and said quietly, "Patriarch, I didn't want to say anything more about your decision, but for the sake of the many elders who died, I have to stand up and say something fair." At this point, he paused After a while, he said, "Everyone, do you still remember why the ancient killing orders were issued to kill Ling Xiao?".
Back then, the Gu killing order was issued after unanimous discussion by the general assembly, and they didn't know why Gu Ben brought up this matter again.
Gu An sat on the table and sneered, "Ling Xiaozhu killed many rising stars of our ancient family, and even took away the sacred artifacts of our ancient family, so it is only natural to issue an ancient killing order to him."
Gu Ben looked around at everyone and said, "Patriarch, do you know why the young people of our Gu family were killed? They were fine when the battle for the imperial list ended, but they went after Ling Xiao and were killed by Ling Xiao ...".
Gu An didn't wait for Gu Ben to finish speaking, and immediately said loudly, "You mean that people in our Gu family have taken it upon themselves?".
Gu Ben shook his head lightly and said, "You misunderstood me. They are all outstanding young people who participated in the battle for the imperial list. It is normal to have feuds in the battle for the imperial list, but as far as I know, Yu Fei who was killed should be the head of the family." It is precisely because he was killed by Ling Xiao that you summoned everyone and issued the ancient killing order. If other people's children were killed, I wonder if the Patriarch would issue the ancient killing order?".
Gu'an said without hesitation, "Of course I will!".
Suddenly, Gu Ben showed a ferocious smile and said, "Haha... Patriarch, 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, and he was also killed in the imperial list?" , At that time, did you have someone issue an ancient killing order? I remember...you didn't issue it at that time!".
"Gu Tianhai?" Gu An hesitated for a moment, a vague memory flashed through his mind.
This Gu Tianhai seems to be a direct descendant of Gu Ben, who was killed by the people of the Black Demon Sect in the imperial list. At that time, Gu Ben requested to issue an ancient killing order, but in the end Gu An did not agree, because the Black Demon Sect was too powerful, so he Have scruples.
"That's right, that poor child, if he didn't die, he would have become the new generation leader of our Gu family now." Gu Ben said with a look of regret, and then he changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about these old things, let's just take the current thing as an example." Said, Ling Xiao is the only disciple of the evil emperor, and he has many reliances, Patriarch, you haven't got Chu state to issue the ancient killing order, which led to the downfall of many of our senior elders, don't you think your decision is a failure?".
Gu Ben's aura is aggressive, quite a bit aggressive!
"Are you accusing the Patriarch of mishandling things?" Gu'an shouted with an extremely ugly expression.
The other elders who supported Gu'an also looked ugly, while the elders who supported Gu Ben showed a bit of gloating.
Suddenly, an old voice rang out, "Gu Ben's words are correct, the ancient killing order you issued, Gu An, has severely damaged the vitality of the Gu family, and you are no longer suitable to be the head of the family."
