Chapter 110: Xun Er, why hang yourself from one tree? I, Gu Yao, am not bad either!

Northwest Continent, Gama Empire Imperial Palace, inside a great hall, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"I never expected that old fellow Yun Shan would actually break through to become a Dou Zong..." "It has been unknown how long since a Dou Zong powerhouse appeared in the Gama Empire..."

Jia Xingtian's expression was gloomy; he knew very well that with Yun Shan breaking through to Dou Zong, the entire Gama Empire would undergo a heaven-turning, earth-shattering change because of it.

As the actual power-holders of the Gama Empire, the Gama Imperial Family would likely see their imperial authority come under assault.

"Imperial Grandfather, in this way, the right to speak in the Gama Empire will all belong to the Yunlan Sect..."

Yaoye stated the consequence, and Jia Xingtian could only smile helplessly.

"Imperial Grandfather, you reached the peak of Dou Huang a long time ago; after so many years of exploration, perhaps you might break through in the near future."

"The more one struggles on the edge of a breakthrough, the more one knows just how difficult it is to break through."

"Even if we cannot break through, the Yunlan Sect only has one Dou Zong, Yun Shan. If we gather the strength of the three great families, it is not impossible to fight them!"

"Yaoye, I know your intentions are good, but I am the closest to Dou Zong, and I know best the power of a Dou Zong. If Yun Shan truly becomes a Dou Zong, even if several Dou Huangs join forces, they will not be his match."

Jia Xingtian's words made the high-spirited Yaoye feel somewhat despondent.

Must they really submit to the Yunlan Sect?

With the ambition and methods of the Yunlan Sect, the Gama Empire Imperial Family would one day reach a dead end; the Yunlan Sect would not allow any faction to share their power.

Yaoye lowered her head in thought, and suddenly she thought of someone.

"Imperial Grandfather, do you still remember that another Dou Zong powerhouse once appeared in the Gama Empire!"

"You mean... Young Master Gu Fei?!"

Jia Xingtian recalled this name, and a luster instantly appeared in his eyes.

"If Young Master Gu Fei is willing to assist us, why would we fear a mere Yun Shan?"

At that time, when he saw Gu Fei, he knew that he was definitely a true Dou Zong powerhouse, and a high-level Dou Zong at that; otherwise, it would have been impossible to make him feel such palpitations.

"But... not to mention whether Young Master Gu Fei is willing to help us, just finding him is a difficult problem."

Yaoye was somewhat discouraged, feeling that this idea was not feasible, but Jia Xingtian did not think so.

"Solving the problem does not necessarily require inviting Young Master Gu Fei here."

"Fortunately, we hosted Young Master Gu Fei for a period of time previously; with this layer of relationship, the Yunlan Sect should have some misgivings!"

"There is also the Seven-Rank Alchemist Manual that Young Master Gu Fei left for Yue'er, which binds the Alchemist Guild to our Imperial Family. If the Yunlan Sect wants to take action against our Imperial Family, the Alchemist Guild should not sit idly by."

"With these two layers of relationship, even Yun Shan should have to act with caution!"

Yaoye analyzed all the pros and cons in one breath; her worship of Gu Fei could be said to have reached a blind degree.

Yunlan Sect back mountain.

In the forest, two beautiful figures stood gracefully, and a sound like silver bells drifted out from the woods.

"Master, recently the Old Master has re-emerged in the world, and you seem much more relaxed!"

"Teacher broke through to Dou Zong and became the number one powerhouse in the Gama Empire; those enemies who once eyed the Yunlan Sect covetously have all become much more honest. And since Master is once again presiding over the affairs of the Yunlan Sect, I have naturally become more at leisure."

"However, recently I have always felt some unease..."

Yun Yun stopped her steps and looked at Nalan Yanran beside her.

"Unease?"

"Is it related to the three Elders, Yun Leng, Yun Du, and Yun Sha, breaking through to Dou Huang one after another?"

Nalan Yanran had some guesses in her heart.

"Yes, I know the talent of the three Elders, Yun Leng, Yun Du, and Yun Sha, very well. Even if they exhausted their entire lives, it would be difficult for them to break through to Dou Huang, yet they broke through one after another in just a few months."

"Moreover, Teacher always summons them alone, and even I cannot enter."

"Ever since Teacher came out of seclusion, he has become much more distant from me. I always feel that there are many things being hidden from me..."

Yun Yun was filled with worry, and a few dark clouds gathered beneath her eyebrows. She had a feeling that a storm was about to hit the Yunlan Sect.

Ancient Realm, Ancient Saint Mountain Range.

A streak of light streaked across the sky, and with a "Bang" sound, a slender and soft figure landed in front of Gu Qingyang; it was Xun'er.

"I know you just broke through and became stronger, but you don't have to show it off like this!"

Gu Qingyang looked at Xun'er and waved his hand to fan away the rising dust, joking.

But just after he finished speaking, he immediately restrained his smile and looked at Xun'er solemnly, because he felt that Xun'er's aura was somewhat cold.

"Xun Er, why is your complexion so poor? Did you get into a row with Gu Fei again?"

Gu Qingyang asked hurriedly, his words full of concern.

Xun'er had just said she was going to Gu Fei's place, and she became like this upon returning, so his guess was reasonable.

Xun'er shook her head vigorously.

"No, I didn't see him on this trip!" Xun'er said coldly.

"Not Gu Fei?" Gu Qingyang thought to himself, and then another answer appeared in his mind.

"If you didn't see Gu Fei, then you must have seen the woman Gu Fei brought back!"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's gaze became even colder. Gu Qingyang did not look directly at Xun'er, but he still felt uncomfortable all over.

"To be able to make you like this, it seems the woman Brother Gu Fei brought back is not simple."

Gu Qingyang originally did not want to say anything more, but looking at Xun'er, whose eyes were hollow and indifferent and whose complexion was slightly pale, he still couldn't help but speak.

"Forget it, since you have already separated from him, it is better not to get involved in his affairs in the future."

"Gu Fei has already stayed out of it; if you continue to entangle yourself, you will be deeply trapped. Even the seniors in the clan may not necessarily stand on your side. It is not worth getting yourself into trouble for the sake of a heartless person."

"Brother Qingyang's words are reasonable!"

Just as Gu Qingyang's voice fell, a voice rang out from not far away, and a figure appeared in mid-air.

The person who arrived was none other than Gu Yao.

"Let the past be the past; one must always start a new life!" Gu Yao said with a smile, his gaze toward Xun'er filled with adoration.

If one were to ask who was happiest about Gu Fei and Xun'er separating, it was undoubtedly Gu Yao.

Only once Xun'er left Gu Fei's side could Gu Yao legitimately begin to pursue her; Xun'er was the woman he had liked since childhood, but in the end, Gu Fei had proposed first and succeeded, so he had found it inappropriate to compete.

"I have no interest in listening to you talk about these things!"

"If you were in my position, you would know just how infuriating this matter truly is!"

Facing Gu Yao, who was urging her to let the matter go, Xun'er did not give him a pleasant look at all.

Gu Yao did not feel sad, continuing in a cheerful and dashing tone: "Brother Gu Fei's mind is made up; why don't you let go? Instead of wasting your energy on things you cannot obtain, why not look at the scenery you have missed by your side?"

Gu Yao's implication was that he was that missed scenery.

"Having stayed in the Ancient Realm for so long, what kind of missed, wretched scenery could there be?"

Xun'er finished speaking impatiently.

After saying this, she could not be bothered to pay any more attention to Gu Yao and disappeared after a few flashes of movement.

Watching Xun'er's receding figure, Gu Yao did not feel discouraged and swore in his heart that he would definitely win Xun Er over.

"He has returned; let us go see him as well!" Gu Qingyang looked toward Gu Yao.

Gu Yao paused for a moment, then walked with Gu Qingyang toward the mountain peak where Gu Fei was located.
