Energy Storm

The Heavenly Tomb lay within the Gu Realm, so the Gu Clan held a considerable advantage. Though each clan was originally allotted two slots, as the clan responsible for guarding the Heavenly Tomb, the Gu Clan had always occupied four slots when no one from the Xiao Clan had come before!

This time, although the Xiao Clan had two people to fill their places, no one from the Ling Clan had come. By the rules, the Ling Clan's slots fell to the Gu Clan.

Xiao Yu glanced at Gu Qingyang. He looked refined and composed, nothing like the Grand Commander of the Black Smoke Army. Yet among the younger generation of the Black Smoke Army, his strength was the greatest. He had reached the Nine-star Dou Zun level, only a hair below Xun'er!

As if sensing Xiao Yu's gaze, Gu Qingyang gave him a slight nod. Xiao Yu merely chuckled. "As expected of the Gu Clan's second greatest genius. Your strength is good, and so is your temperament. I think highly of you!"

The others beside them were somewhat baffled by Xiao Yu's sudden praise. It seemed the two of them had never met before, hadn't they?

Xun'er agreed with Xiao Yu's words. Among the Four Commanders, Gu Qingyang was the strongest and the most steady-tempered. Otherwise, he would not have become the Grand Commander. Moreover, the Black Annihilation King seemed to intend for Gu Qingyang to become the next Black Annihilation King, though he also held Gu Yao in very high regard.

However, there was one thing Xiao Yu did not say: Gu Qingyang would become the Gu Clan's next Clan Leader in the future—but that would only happen after Gu Yuan became a Dou Emperor!

At that moment, a heaven-shaking explosion suddenly rang out within the Void Space.
