Chapter 167

"With our strength, even an elder cannot defeat us."

But need to keep the line as single line with 【1】 prefix.

【1】 "With our strength, even an elder cannot defeat us."

Gu Han smiled and looked at the worried Gu Chen,

"We have been out for years; if the behind-the-scenes black hand uses our family as a threat, it would actually be more difficult."

"Let him come out so I can directly settle him once and for all."

Gu Chen nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement with Gu Han's idea.

With Jian Lao's help, he conducted targeted training in sword intent.

His sword intent has now reached perfection.

Once he crosses another threshold, he will master sword momentum.

Even though his cultivation level is only that of a Martial Master, he is confident he can defeat a Martial Ancestor!

You must know that, in the entire Ben Lang Guo, the number of openly practicing sword cultivators is no more than ten!

Those who have mastered sword momentum are, openly, only one person!

As for Gu Chen's mastery of sword intent, he could likely rank among the top in the entire Ben Lang Guo!

Even if he cannot master sword momentum in a short time, he only needs to raise his cultivation level a bit to be able to contend with a Martial Ancestor.

"Gu Han, do you have any surplus cultivation resources on hand?"

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Chen still asked.

Gu Han looked curiously at Gu Chen, then immediately gave a knowing smile.

He did not ask Gu Chen, but directly took out a brand-new storage ring and threw it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the storage ring, without any thought of checking its contents.

Between the brothers, there's no need for excessive politeness.

Gu Chen can indeed cultivate step by step.

Once he reaches the Martial Ancestor level, he can go look for a sword tomb where Jian Lao stored his treasures before his death.

Although times have changed, the grand formation of that sword tomb cannot be forcibly broken even by a Martial King.

As long as he finds the sword tomb, Gu Chen's cultivation level can skyrocket at an extremely fast speed!

But because this trip returns to the Gu family, it may not be merely returning home in glory.

It is more likely that undercurrents are surging!

He must quickly increase his strength in order to help Gu Han.

As for absorbing too many raw stones and heavenly materials and earthly treasures in a short time, it will cause an unstable cultivation level.

This is something only people of average talent need to consider.

Gu Chen said that he might also experience being unable to fully grasp his own strength.

But he only needs to spend some time tempering himself with sword intent to solidify his foundation.

No need to worry that it will affect future cultivation.

After a double-hour, Gu Qian Yue and the others who returned to the camp to pack up their belongings all came over one after another.

Including Gu Han, there were twenty Gu family disciples in total, traveling light, and they set off to return to Wu Shan Cheng.

Wu Shan Cheng.

Since Gu Xiao Dao deliberately increased the number of patrols inspecting the Gu family's spirit veins last time.

The Wang family then began secretly colluding with the Chen and Jin families to jointly launch an attack on the Gu family's spirit veins.

This is certainly not a life-and-death struggle between family members.

But rather setting up a stage to challenge the Gu family!

According to Wu Shan Cheng's longstanding rules.

The stage has three forms: individual duels, relay battles, and melees.

Each family can send martial practitioners of different age groups to challenge other families.

The victor can obtain a portion of the spirit veins' share.

The Wang, Chen, and Jin three great families intend to use this open and aboveboard method to devour the Gu family's share of the spirit veins!

Of course, this method only applies to forces with comparable family strength.

If those smaller families also want to get involved, their only fate is to be flattened!

After this period of challenges.

The Gu family's share of the spirit veins in Wu Shan Cheng has dropped by a full forty percent compared to before!

The Gu Cang Shan branch collapsed, and Gu Han left for Heavy Sword Peak, dealing a heavy blow to the Gu family's strength.

Moreover, the three great families had prepared in advance, so the Gu family could only continually shrink its defenses, retaining only the more important spirit veins.

Of course, this also could not be done without Gu Xiao Dao's secret instructions.

To destroy it, one must first drive it mad.

When the three great families have gone completely mad and launch a total assault on the Gu family.

Gu Xiao Dao's cultivation level can also then be stabilized.

Then will be the time of the three great families' downfall!

But before that, what the Gu family disciples need to do is protect their own safety and surrender part of the spirit veins to the three great families.

The three great families initially followed procedure, seizing the Gu family's share through challenges.

But when they discovered that, no matter how arrogant they were, the Gu family head never appeared.

Even the elders, only a few showed up afterward.

They then went completely unrestrained.

They then went completely unrestrained.

In recent days, they have even begun to disregard martial ethics, forcibly sending people to seize the Gu Family's spirit vein mining site!

Gu Family descendants naturally unwilling to relinquish the spirit vein.

But the three great families have become reckless, daring to act, even killing many Gu Family descendants!

Gu Ren and the other elders reported to Gu Xiao Dao at the first moment.

But Gu Xiao Dao is currently in closed-door cultivation, utterly unable to handle this.

Even with the Family Head's order, the Gu Family descendants still refuse to relinquish.

To preserve the spirit vein, they are even willing to pay the price of their lives.

Helpless, Gu Ren and the several elders could only step forward personally to block the three great families.

"You are pushing your luck; aren't you afraid that my Gu Family and you will suffer mutual destruction?"

"Who did I think it was? Isn't this the new Third Elder of the Gu Family?"

Wang Family Elder Wang Yu looked at Gu Ren with contempt,

"The premise of mutual destruction is that the fish's destructive power must be strong enough!"

Beside him, Chen Family Elder Chen Haisheng also gave a sinister laugh,

"Since Gu Cang Shan was thrown into the dungeon, your Gu Family's strength has been declining day by day."

"Today I will let you experience mutual destruction; do you dare?"

If they were merely one of the families coming, they would indeed have to be somewhat wary of the Gu Family's desperate fight.

But with the three families united, even if the Gu Family exchanged lives for lives, the three great families would only have to pay a barely acceptable price.

And the spoils, however, are the entire resources of Wu Shan Cheng!

Except for the share belonging to the City Lord's mansion.

Everything belongs entirely to the three of them!

Absolutely a venture of ten-thousandfold profit!

Faced with the three great families' disdainful mockery, Gu Ren's face instantly turned grim.

The Gu Family head is in closed-door cultivation, and the Grand Elder is in the Eight-Corner Region.

Moreover, two elders went to rescue Gu Han and have not yet returned.

The elders present almost constitute half of the Gu Family's current fighting strength.

But facing the three great families, it's still like two fists against four palms.

Just as both sides were locked in a stalemate, with neither willing to yield even half a step.

Two explosive shouts suddenly came from the horizon.

"How dare you cause trouble at my Gu Family's doorstep? Today, unless we decide a life-and-death showdown, nobody is leaving!"

As the words fell, two middle-aged individuals with surging aura flew and landed before Gu Ren and the other.

After they appeared, the aura of the Martial Sect enveloped the three great families' members.

"Old Six, Old Seven, you've finally come back."

Gu Ren, upon seeing them appear, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder are precisely the two elders who went to protect Gu Han.

Since the two elders have now returned, the danger to Gu Han should have been resolved.

At the same time, this also conveniently resolves the Gu Family's urgent crisis.

Chen Haisheng narrowed his eyes, surged forward with fierce momentum, and exchanged a blow with the Gu Family elders who had come.

Neither yielded; each was shoved back several dozen steps before stopping.

Chen Haisheng felt his vital energy Blood surge, and looking at the two Gu Family elders who seemed ready to fight to the death, his eyes showed a hint of apprehension.

The three great families' annexation of the Gu Family is already a foregone conclusion.

There's no need to fight to the death with these two at this moment.

Even exchanging injury for life would not be worth it!

"I give the Gu Family three days to withdraw all Gu Family descendants from the spirit vein."
