Chapter 265 The Whole Story

Everyone asked a few more questions, but Gu Xiuyun either shook his head or pretended to be stupid, so the elders could only let him leave with a helpless look on their faces.

After a while, Gu Xiuyun came to the residence of Hanhua Priest.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a spiritual domain enveloped the surroundings, and three Xuanguangtai priests surrounded him.

"Fellow Daoist Ximing, what happened? Why did you inexplicably bring up Lord Quanming?" Hanhua Priest asked repeatedly.

They had been following Gu Xiuyun's instructions and waiting outside the Abyss. After a long time, Gu Xiuyun suddenly came and took them to the main branch of the Gu family without saying anything. He told the three of them how to talk and handed a spiritual treasure formation map to Hanhua Priest.

Although the three were puzzled, they all did as they were told out of trust in Gu Xiuyun.

"Fellow Daoist Hanhua, don't be anxious. Come into the wing room first. I will explain it to you slowly," Gu Xiuyun smiled. "It's a long story. We have to start with the situation in Youning City."

Sitting in the wing room, Gu Xiuyun told the story of the crisis faced by the Gu and Yu families.

"As a member of the Gu family, how can I not take action in the face of a family crisis?"

"But I am just a member of the younger generation. Once my identity is exposed, it will definitely attract the attention of the Weak Water Sect. By then, not only will I die, but the Eight Eyes Divine Sect may also be implicated."

Gu Xiuyun said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Ximing is right. Only by putting the blame on Lord Quanming can this matter avoid suspicion." Priest Zhui Yan nodded slightly.

The world of monsters is extremely vast. In addition to various cities, there are many mysterious families hidden deep in the mountains. Those families are protected by the top-grade formations. Their strength is unfathomable. It is not surprising that a sixth-level strongman occasionally emerges.

The four great sects would not care about these human families. Their eyes were only on Douxiao Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Ximing, the Pei family suffered heavy losses and I'm afraid they won't give up. What should we do next?" asked the Hanhua priest.

"It depends on you guys now," Gu Xiuyun looked at the three people, "This battle is not only related to the thousand-year foundation of the Gu and Yu families, but also to the development of the Eight Eyes Divine Religion."

"Why do you say that?"

"Have you ever thought that Yuning City is just a prefecture city, how could it attract the covetousness of the top families, and there are disciples of the Dark Moon Mountain lurking in the dark? I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand,

Their target is not the city, but the dark abyss below."

"Dark Abyss!"

"Yes," Gu Xiuyun's eyes were cold, "The practice of the Dark Moon Mountain is similar to the Tongshen Jue, and the strong man behind it is likely to be another descendant of the Divine Religion. Of course, this descendant should not be the human race, but the demon race. Previously, the Pei family sent strong men to sneak into the bottom of the city, probably to observe the movements of the dark abyss."

The three priests looked heavy.

Regardless of whether what Gu Xiuyun said was true or false, the Dark Abyss under the control of the Gu family is extremely beneficial to their entry and exit of the demon beast world. Once it falls into the hands of the Pei family and Dark Moon Mountain, the consequences are unpredictable.

"The Pei family is so powerful, can the Gu and Yu families stop it?" Hanhua Priest asked anxiously.

"According to the current situation, it is difficult," Gu Xiuyun shook his head, "Although the Pei family has lost several fifth-level elders, the top combat power has not been damaged. As far as I know, the Pei family has five sixth-level strongmen in the open, plus the remaining fifth-level, at least 20 people can be gathered. The next time they take action, they will definitely move in full force."

"Both the Gu family and the Yu family have only one sixth-level cultivator. Isn't this a sure loss?" Hanhua Priest's face turned pale.

"Not necessarily," Priest Nihua raised her eyebrows, "I heard from Daoist Ximing that Pei, as the top family in Chu County, attaches great importance to the family reputation, otherwise they would not force the two families so blatantly. We can start from this aspect."

"Daoist Nihua is right."

Gu Xiuyun smiled.

As a top family, Pei's most important thing is not Yuning City, but the family reputation, so they did not secretly assassinate the practitioners of the Gu and Yu families, but openly set up a battle formation and slaughtered a branch mansion.

In this way, the world will only sigh that Pei's powerful family has forced Gu and Yu families to have no way out and have to flee from Yuning City.

This is not only the family reputation, but also the glory, and it is the foundation of Pei's establishment in Chu County.

So as long as Gu and Yu set up a large formation outside Anning City and openly challenged them, Pei will definitely go to the battle. They cannot leave the world with a reputation of cowardice.

And Gu and Yu can take this opportunity to decide the outcome in one battle.

Of course, this idea cannot be proposed by Gu Xiuyun.

His words are not taken seriously, no matter how much he shouts, the two families will not believe him. Only by proposing this suggestion through the mouth of "Quanming"

can the two families pay attention and fight with all their strength.

That's why Gu Xiuyun brought Hanhua Priest and others to the main branch of Gu's family. This step is related to his overall plan.

"Everyone, the Pei family is too strong. Only by borrowing the top-grade formation can we fight against them. This matter depends on you three!"

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist Ximing." Hanhua Priest nodded and smiled.

...

That night, the main branch of Gu's family was brightly lit.

The three Xuanguangtai priests sat high on one side of the hall, and the twenty Jintai priests sat slightly lower.

Opposite were the strong men of the Gu and Yu families, from the fifth-level strong men to the elders of each clan, including the uncles and elders of the clan, there were more than a hundred people.

As for Gu Xiuyun's seat, it had been arranged outside the hall, and this was because he had the cultivation level of Kaimai Realm, otherwise he would not even have a seat.

"You are all guests who have come from afar. Let me drink first as a sign of respect." Gu Hanfeng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Senior, you are so kind, we are very grateful." The three Hanhua priests raised their glasses and drank the wine.

Twenty Jintai priests also drank the wine.

Then a maid came forward and refilled everyone's glasses.

The whole banquet was very lively. Even those who couldn't speak were full of flattery, and they would praise Quan Ming Taoist from time to time.

After three rounds of wine, the Hanhua priests and others were a little drunk.

These wines were not ordinary things, but wines made from spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines. Even practitioners in the Kaimai realm could get drunk.

Gu Hanfeng coughed lightly, and the whole banquet was quiet in an instant.

"Finally getting to the point!"

Gu Xiuyun put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned lazily on the bamboo couch, and looked leisurely.

"Boy, pay attention to your posture." Gu Qingyuan hummed.

"At this time, you still care about those red tapes," Gu Xiuyun glanced at the depths of the hall, "Dad, how do you think the family will respond?"

"It must be asking Senior Quanming for help. Three sixth-level masters, no matter how fierce the Pei family is, they have to think twice." Gu Qingyuan said.

"The Pei family suffered heavy losses, how could they give up easily?" Gu Xiuyun shook his head and smiled, "As for Taoist Quanming, since he sent the spiritual treasure formation map and killed seven fifth-level masters with his own hands, he will definitely intervene in this battle. There is no need to say more."
