Yang Qi's face darkened. Although he had long known that Zhang Bifan and Gu Xingnan had a close relationship, he had never expected that Zhang Bifan had such a powerful backer behind him, a Martial King!
Even though he knew that there was such a powerful person behind Zhang Bifan, Yang Qi did not regret killing Zhang Bifan at all. A person who wanted to kill him because of a few verbal conflicts and even wanted to kill him more than once showed how narrow-minded he was. If he let him live, he would only be a disaster.
Gu Xingnan!
What really concerned Yang Qi was Gu Xingnan. According to Yun Lan, the opponent's weakest was at the late stage of two-star Martial Lord, or even three-star Martial Lord, a genius Martial Lord. Gu Xingnan's combat power was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary three-star Martial Lord!
"Brother Wu, who exactly is Gu Xingnan?" Yang Qi asked in a deep voice. He had only heard Yun Lan briefly mention him before. Now that Zhang Bifan has been killed, the other party will not give up. Naturally, he needs to know more about him.
"The Gu family that Gu Xingnan belongs to is actually a practicing family in your Great Chu Empire." Wu Ping said.
Gu Xingnan is from Da Chu
Yang Qi looked at Wu Ping in astonishment. It was extremely rare for a genius practitioner from the Great Chu Empire to enter the Great Zhou Empire and become a student of the Wu Zhou Academy. After all, the Wu Zhou Academy was not the Tianjian Sect, nor was it a super power that specialized in one path. If Gu Xingnan wanted to become a student of a sect, he didn't have to go to the Great Zhou Empire to become a student of the Wu Zhou Academy!
"The Gu family was hunted by their enemies and had to flee to the Great Zhou Empire. Gu Xingnan was extremely talented and enrolled in the Wu Zhou Academy. As his strength and status improved, the Gu family also gained a firm foothold in the Great Zhou Empire." Wu Ping paused before continuing, "A few years ago, Gu Xingnan, who had just entered the Empire, brought a few of his fellow apprentices back to the Great Chu Empire and eradicated the forces that attacked the Gu family that year, leaving no one alive."
I see!
Yang Qi was still wondering why Gu Xingnan ended up being admitted to the Wu Zhou Academy. It turned out that he was being hunted by his enemies and had to flee to the Wu Zhou Academy. However, Gu Xingnan was indeed a character. His family was forced to flee to other empires, but he was able to enter the Wu Zhou Academy and become a genius of his generation.
"Is this how the hatred between the Yun family and the Gu family came about?" Yang Qi frowned. If so, why didn't Gu Xingnan directly eliminate the Yun family when he returned to the Great Chu Empire several years ago
"Ahem~" Wu Ping coughed lightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Who told you that the Yun family and the Gu family have a grudge?"
"There's no hatred between them?"
Now it was Yang Qi's turn to be confused. After all, whether it was Yun Lan or Liu Fei, they were obviously not very fond of the Gu family, and even had a hint of hostility towards them.
"The Yun family and the Gu family not only have no hatred, but they are old friends. Not only that, the Gu family was able to escape safely from the Great Chu Empire to our Great Zhou with the help of the Yun family. Not only do they have no hatred, but the Yun family is actually indebted to the Gu family!" Wu Ping said in a deep voice.
A favor
Yang Qi was a little confused. The Yun family had done a favor to the Gu family, but why was Yun Lan so disgusted with Gu Xingnan, and even hostile to him? Could it be that the Gu family was repaying kindness with enmity
"It's not what you think." Wu Ping shook his head slightly and sighed, "The relationship between the Yun family and the Gu family is a little complicated. Let Yun Lan tell you the details. I can only say that from the moment you and Yun Lan got close, you and Gu Xingnan were destined to be enemies."
Yang Qi frowned, and seeing that Wu Ping was unwilling to say more, he did not ask too many questions. Through Wu Ping's words, he also realized that the relationship between the Yun family and the Gu family should not be as simple as Liu Fei said. Even so, Yang Qi had already made a decision in his heart to stand on Yun Lan's side!
While the two were talking, the injuries of some practitioners had stabilized, including Yun Lan. Seeing Yun Lan wake up, Yang Qi did not continue chatting with Wu Ping. He gathered with Yun Lan and asked about his experiences during this period.
From Yun Lan, Yang Qi also learned that Yun Lan, Zhao Qian and Wu Jian had met each other at the last opportunity. Including Cao Jun and others whom Liu Fei had met, only Xiong Hu and others had no news yet.
"Senior Brother He is awake!"
Just when the two were chatting excitedly, Liu Fei, who was in charge of looking after He Dongchen not far away, suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing Liu Fei's exclamation, Yang Qi and Yun Lan rushed over, only to see that He Dongchen on the ground had opened his eyes. Although he was very weak, he had regained consciousness.
"Senior Brother He, you're finally awake." Looking at He Dongchen who had woken up, Yang Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He Dongchen's injuries were so severe and he didn't have the same amazing recovery ability as him. Even if he took the Sanyuan Life-Prolonging Pill, Yang Qi was not sure if he could save He Dongchen.
"Junior Brother Yang, were you the ones who came and repelled the practitioners of the Blood Evil Sect?" He Dongchen glanced at everyone present, but found that there were only two more faces. He immediately understood that after he fainted, Yang Qi and the other two came and repelled the enemies of the Blood Evil Sect.
"More than just repelling them, you didn't see Junior Brother Yang's extraordinary power. Only one person from the Blood Evil Sect escaped, while the others were all killed by Yang Qi." Liu Fei on the side said excitedly.
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Yang Qi’s face darkened. He was not sure that he could kill the cultivator who escaped last in a short time. In that situation, the other party would just keep running away, and he could not stop him alone.
“So you have already entered the Nine-Star Martial Sect.” Feeling the fluctuation of Yuanli from Yang Qi’s body, He Dongchen couldn’t help but sigh.
When Yang Qi first entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, his strength was only at the early stage of the Eight-Star Martial Sect, but now, he has reached the early stage of the Nine-Star Martial Sect. In just half a month, his cultivation has been raised to a higher level. Even though there are many opportunities in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, it is extremely rare to improve cultivation so quickly.
At the beginning, Yang Qi's cultivation level was only at the middle stage of the eight-star martial sect, but he already had the strength to defeat Liu Yang. Now that his cultivation level has greatly increased, his strength is probably not weaker than Liu Yang. It is not surprising for him to have killed a practitioner from the Blood Evil Sect.
"Brother He, you are able to survive this time, thanks to Yang Qi. He used the life-saving elixir refined by Dan Zun to save you." At this moment, Wu Ping on the side suddenly laughed.
He Dongchen was startled, then said solemnly, "Thank you for saving my life, Junior Brother."
After being attacked by the bone nails and fainting, He Dongchen knew that he was in danger. But after waking up, he found that there was a powerful medicinal power in his body, which was constantly strengthening his vitality and recovering from his injuries. He Dongchen, who had examined his own injuries, knew very well that if he didn't have this powerful medicinal power, he would definitely die with such injuries.
"It's just a pill, Senior Brother He, you don't have to be polite." Yang Qi smiled calmly and continued, "Senior Brother He, you should hurry up and recover from your injuries."
He Dongchen nodded slightly. His current injuries made it difficult for him to even move. Whether he retreated or continued to move forward, it would be extremely dangerous and would also drag down other practitioners!
After He Dongchen's injuries stabilized and he regained his strength, everyone headed towards the passage at the end of the hall. (To be continued)
