Ye Li looked at the houses opposite from a distance. These houses were built against the trees, and some were even built directly on the trees. They looked unique in style.
The wooden house looks very delicately made and does not appear primitive at all. Instead, it is very unique.
From a distance, Ye Li could see quite a few people walking around in the base, and it was obvious that they were all members of the Gu family.
Ye Li restrained his aura and then slowly walked towards the Gu family’s residence.
The Gu family quickly discovered Ye Li's presence, and several people who looked like guards immediately looked wary at Ye Li.
Ye Li walked to the outside of the Gu family’s residence, then stopped and did not move forward.
Seeing that Ye Li had no intention of entering the base directly, the guards' eyes softened a little. After all, if there were any people with malicious intentions, they would not stop outside the base.
There is no wall around the base, and anyone can enter directly. Ye Li stopped obviously to show respect to the Gu family.
"May I ask why this little brother is here?"
A guard saw that Ye Li seemed to be young, so he walked up to him and asked casually.
Ye Li heard this and said, "May I ask if this is the Dong Wenlin Gu family?"
The guard was stunned and said, "Yes, this is the Dong Wenlin Gu family. Is this your first time here, little brother?"
Ye Li said: "Yes, I came here to look for a senior named Gu Tianwen.
I think he should be the elder of your Gu family!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, the guard's eyes flashed with suspicion and asked, "Little brother, you are here to look for our master. What's your name?"
“Hey, is Senior Gu Tianwen the head of the Gu family? I thought he was the elder of the Gu family!
My name is Ye Li, and Senior Xuanji from Prajna Mountain asked me to come here to visit Senior Gu Tianwen."
Ye Li told the guard truthfully.
When the guard heard the name of Prajnashan Xuanji, he was surprised again.
Looking at Ye Li, his attitude towards Ye Li became more respectful, and he said: "Senior Xuanji of Prajna Mountain may not have seen our Patriarch for a long time. Our Patriarch took over the position of Patriarch ten years ago.
but… "
"Who is muttering at the door? Didn't I say that our family won't be receiving outsiders these days?"
A middle-aged man was standing not far away, frowning and looking at Ye Li with a somewhat displeased expression.
Upon hearing this, the guard hurriedly said, "Master Gu Yun, this little brother was ordered by Senior Xuanji of Prajna Mountain to come and find the head of the family."
When the middle-aged man heard the words "Prajna Mountain Mystery", a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
After all, Mount Prajna is the chief of the holy places. Even though it has been expelled to the north by the Heavenly Soul Society, its name can still intimidate most people.
The middle-aged man's expression then eased a little. He waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, and then he walked towards Ye Li.
"My dear little brother, who are you and why do you come to see my father?"
The middle-aged man asked about Ye Li's arrival.
Ye Li looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't expect that this man named Gu Yun was actually the son of Gu Tianwen.
"Hello, Brother Gu Yun. My name is Ye Li. I came here under the guidance of Senior Xuan Ji. I want to ask Senior Gu Tianwen some questions. I wonder if Senior Gu Tianwen can grant me an audience."
Ye Li bowed and said.
Gu Yun frowned upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "My father is an easygoing person. Even if you were not instructed by Senior Xuanji, he might not refuse you if you want to see him.
It’s just that my father went to the Nether Cave these days and hasn’t come back yet. We are very anxious. Many of the people we sent to the Nether Cave were killed. We really don’t have any solution.”
Hearing Gu Yun's words, Ye Li was stunned and asked, "May I ask what place the Netherworld Cave is, and what is Senior Gu Tianwen doing there?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yun said, “The Netherworld Cave is a peculiar underground cave not far from Morning Star Lake.
The underground cave is filled with strong Yin power, and there are many monsters and spiritual creatures in it. It is a very dangerous place.
Normally we don’t go anywhere, including my dad.
However, my daughter suffers from a strange disease. The root of the Yang Xing Talisman on her body has undergone a mutation and will continue to absorb the Yang Xing power.
If she absorbed too much Yang energy, it would accumulate in her body and emit high temperature, constantly burning her body.
We have tried every possible method over the years, but have not been able to cure her. We can only use various medicines with Yin power to neutralize the Yang power in her body.
Recently my father found a method in an ancient book that may be able to cure my daughter's strange disease.
Ancient books say that one needs to find something called the Yinhun Flower, grind its stamens into powder, and then mix it with Yinju Water and take it.
My daughter's strange disease can be cured after taking it for only three days.
Yin Gathering Water was not difficult to find, and we quickly bought it at the trade fair in Morningstar City, but we could never find the Yinhun Flower.
Seeing my daughter's strange illness getting worse day by day, if she didn't get treatment her body would be dried up by the Yang force in her body.
A few days ago, my father learned from my second uncle that there might be ghost flowers in the Nether Cave, so he rushed to the Nether Cave regardless of everything, wanting to find the ghost flowers.
My father... really loves my daughter more than I, as a father... "
When he spoke of the latter part, Gu Yun's expression was extremely complicated, and his eyes were gradually filled with worry.
"Brother Gu Yun, is it because Senior Gu Tianwen is looking for the ghost flower that he is trapped in the Netherworld Cave?"
Ye Li asked.
Gu Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Dad must be trapped somewhere in the cave now, so I have to find a way to organize some people to rescue him!"
"We still need to send people to rescue him. Gu Yun, are you crazy? There are only so many good fighters in the family. If even with my eldest brother's strength, he can be trapped in the Netherworld Cave, what can our organization do if they go there!!!"
While Gu Yun was talking to Ye Li, a slightly older voice came from the side.
Ye Li turned his head and saw a thin old man walked out of the next room, looking at Gu Yun with dissatisfaction.
The old man has reached the early stage of the Divine Appearance Stage, and can be considered a good fighter.
Hearing the old man's words, Gu Yun's face turned a little ugly, and he said, "Second Uncle, Dad went into the Netherworld Cave because of what you said. How can you say you won't save him now?"
The old man's face flushed when he heard this, and he said, "Humph, Gu Yun, do you mean that I harmed my elder brother
I just told big brother that there is a ghost flower in the Netherworld Cave. It is big brother's own choice whether to go and look for the ghost flower inside.
Everyone in my Gu family knows how dangerous the Nether Cave is. Big brother made his own choice and must bear the consequences himself!!!" (To be continued)
