Gu World.
Above the boundless blue sky, fluffy clouds drift by, and occasionally a gentle breeze stirs up a green wave that stretches to the horizon across the grassland below...
"Laugh!"
In the sky, space distorted slightly, and then a series of violent fluctuations were emitted. Then, a huge, pitch-black spatial gate appeared out of thin air. Shortly after the appearance of this Space Gate, figures slowly emerged and finally stood in this unfamiliar world.
"Is this the Gu World? The energy of heaven and earth is so dense, it's at least several times stronger than the outside world!"
"As expected of Dou Sheng Expert, this level of supernatural power is truly incredible."
As those figures appeared, exclamations of surprise gradually spread.
Amidst everyone's astonishment, Huo Xuan and his group emerged from the Space Gate. As members of the same Ancient Eight Clans, although it was Huo Xuan and the others' first time visiting the Gu World, they remained remarkably calm.
The Gu World is a blessed land, and so is their Yan World. Both are spaces created by Dou Emperor, and the Yan World is in no way inferior to the Gu World.
"Boom!"
As everyone was talking in hushed tones, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly sounded from the distant horizon, and then they saw a thick, oppressive cloud of dark clouds rolling in from all directions.
"That is..."
Everyone squinted at the thick, dark clouds in the sky. After a moment, some sharp-eyed people discovered what the clouds were!
"A flying warship?"
Immediately, exclamations of surprise rang out. It turned out that the dark cloud was actually formed by ten warships flying in the sky. The dark cloud spread around the warships, and from a distance, it looked as if the warships were riding the dark cloud and bringing thunder. The momentum was magnificent and awe-inspiring.
"As expected of the Gu Clan, few forces in the Central Plains can match such a grand gesture..."
Aside from the Ancient Eight Clans, the rest of the people couldn't help but sigh.
"Boom!"
Dark clouds, carrying a sky full of thunder, arrived and finally came to a stop in the sky. An old voice came from the warship.
"Hehe, esteemed guests, please board the ship."
As the aged voice faded, the swirling dark clouds suddenly split open, revealing a crack that led directly to the warship. Upon seeing this, some people hesitated for a moment before leaping aboard a massive warship.
The warship was enormous, making people appear exceptionally small standing inside. Throughout the warship, Black Annihilation Army warriors wielding long spears could be seen everywhere, and the defenses were extremely tight.
This kind of warship is something passed down from the Gu Clan by the ancient race. It is called the Shuttle Sky Boat. In terms of speed, even Peak Dou Zun expert probably can't keep up. However, unfortunately, a large number of these things have been lost since ancient times, and they are extremely rare now.
Once everyone had boarded the warship, the aged voice rang out again, followed by a shudder that caused the surrounding space to tremble violently.
Walking alone on the Shuttle Sky Boat, Huo Xuan garnered a lot of hostility, all of which came from the Gu Clan.
However, Huo Xuan didn't care. His purpose for this trip was the Heavenly Tomb, and he was too lazy to bother with these little flies.
"The relationship between the Ancient and Yan clans is not harmonious now. Huo Xuan, I didn't expect you to dare to come to the Gu Clan."
Just as Huo Xuan was lost in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, pulling him back to reality.
Huo Xuan turned around and saw a man in silver robes smiling at him. The Silver Shirt Man had a lightning bolt mark on his forehead. He was an old acquaintance of Huo Xuan's, Lei Dong.
"Why can't we come? The Heavenly Tomb only opens once every twenty years, and each clan only has two slots each time. If we don't come, wouldn't that be giving the Gu Clan a free pass?"
"But you, I wonder if you came to the Gu World this time for the guy in the Heavenly Tomb? Or for Gu Xun'er?" Huo Xuan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing the name Gu Xun'er, Lei Dong paused slightly, then his eyes dimmed as he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Both."
"Has it been so long, and you still haven't figured it out, haven't you let go?"
Lei Dong gave a bitter laugh and said, "Heh, it's not so easy to let go of someone you love..."
"But she doesn't like you at all. I'm afraid that if you love her to the end, she won't change her mind, and you'll end up heartbroken."
"Well..."
Lei Dong sighed softly, chatted for a while longer, then took his leave. Huo Xuan watched his retreating figure, the easygoing smile on his face gradually disappearing, replaced by a solemn expression.
Lei Dong's obsession with Gu Xun'er is too great. However, being a simp is not a wise choice. You should know that in the end, a simp will have nothing.
Normally, whether Lei Dong acts like a sycophant or a domineering CEO, it's none of his business. Even if Lei Dong puts in his best effort but ends up injured, it's none of his concern. At most, he'll just offer some comfort.
However, their current situation concerns the entire Gu-Lei Alliance.
The Gu-Lei Alliance is ultimately a threat to the Yan-Yao Alliance. In a sense, this alliance was built by him. Since he built the Gu-Lei Alliance, it should also be destroyed under his leadership. We must find a way to dismantle this alliance!
To solve a problem, we must first understand the cause. We need to start from the source of the problem. The Gu-Lei Alliance was formed because of the engagement between Gu Xun'er and Lei Dong, so the breakthrough point is here!
As long as Lei Dong is completely disappointed in Gu Xun'er, and as long as this marriage agreement is dissolved, the Gu-Lei Alliance will also collapse.
But Lei Dong's attitude is already clear: dismantling the Gu-Lei Alliance is no easy task.
Can Lei Dong change his mind and give up on Gu Xun'er with just a few words?
Judging from the current situation, Lei Dong's feelings for Gu Xun'er are quite strong, and cannot be changed in a few words.
Although the Xiao Yan incident had a significant psychological impact on Lei Dong, Xiao Yan was already dead, and a dead man couldn't cause any trouble. That's why Lei Dong still had a special affection for Gu Xun'er.
According to Huo Xuan's thinking, unless something particularly desperate happened, Lei Dong probably wouldn't give up on Gu Xun'er.
Currently, these events are unlikely to occur. It seems necessary for me to create some events at the appropriate time to make Lei Dong completely give up on Gu Xun'er.
As Huo Xuan was making plans in his mind, the warship suddenly trembled violently. Then, the spatial fluctuations around it gradually dissipated, and the speed of the ship also slowed down. In the distance, the lush mountains appeared in the range of vision.
Above the horizon, dark clouds rolled in, and the enormous warship slowly came to a stop above the boundless mountain range, attracting countless gazes.
"Have we arrived at the Gu Sacred Mountain Range...?"
On the warship, everyone gathered at the bow, gazing at the precipitous mountains below. Sensing the powerful auras emanating from them, many were secretly astonished. As expected of the Gu Clan's stronghold, the number of powerful individuals here was terrifying.
"Hehe, we've arrived at the Gu Sacred Mountain Range. Distinguished guests from the Gu Clan, please!"
