Gu Yuan's Shock!

After reading the first half of Xiao Lin's letter, Gu Yuan did not refuse.

After all, from any perspective, helping Xiao Yan break through to the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint is a worthwhile endeavor.

In any case, Gu Yuan had already made up his mind that he would declare war on the Hun Clan at the alliance meeting a year later.

In this situation, the stronger one's own side is, the better.

After all, the Hun Clan has been hiding their true nature for so many years that even he was fooled!

Once he and the Hun Tiandi restrain each other, the hidden strength of the Hun Clan will be unimaginable to anyone!

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuan then began reading the second half of Xiao Lin's letter.

However, what he saw made Gu Yuan break out in a cold sweat!

How is that possible?

Sure enough, as soon as he finished reading the letter, Gu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, somewhat losing his composure.

The fact that Gu Yuan could show such an expression shows just how shocked he was by the contents of the letter!

And that is indeed the case.

The letter stated that within the Heavenly Tomb controlled by the Gu Clans, there exists a special being whose strength is comparable to Nine-Star Dou Saint!

How could Gu Yuan possibly remain calm after receiving such news?

As the patriarch of the Gu Clan, Gu Yuan would not allow such a terrifying being to exist within the Heavenly Tomb controlled by the Gu Clan, regardless of whether the being harbored any ill will towards the Gu Clan!

Because whether the other party will harm the Gu Clan is one thing, and whether they can actually harm the Gu Clan is another matter entirely!

Under normal circumstances, who would dare to sleep with a bomb under their pillow?

Even if someone tells you that the bomb won't explode, would you dare to do it?

I believe most people wouldn't dare.

Despite Gu Yuan's arrogant personality, if he can still act arrogantly when something beyond his control appears on his own territory, it can only mean he's incredibly magnanimous!

Clearly, Gu Yuan's ambitions weren't that big yet.

Gu Yuan's sudden exclamation startled Xiao Yan and the other two.

"Father, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Gu Yuan, what happened?"

Xun'er and Xiao Yan asked in confusion one after the other.

Although Xiao Chen didn't speak, he still gave Gu Yuan a puzzled look.

However, Gu Yuan did not pay attention to Xiao Yan and Xun'er immediately. Instead, he looked at the contents of the letter in his hand with a serious expression, his mood changing from one of uncertainty to another.

As you can see, his hand, which was gripping the letter, was also clenched tightly.

This shows just how unsettled Gu Yuan was by the contents of the letter.

If this letter hadn't come from Lin Xiao, he would never have believed its contents.

Because that's too exaggerated.

You should know that their Gu Clan has controlled the Heavenly Tomb for countless years.

During this time, he entered and exited the Heavenly Tomb many times, but he found no trace of the so-called Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

Under these circumstances, it would be a miracle if Gu Yuan remained calm after learning about this!

"Phew~"

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuan finally took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

At the same time, Gu Yuan also noticed the somewhat tense expressions on the faces of Xiao Yan and the other two.

"Hehe, sorry to have worried you. Something did happen, but it has nothing to do with you. I'll handle it."

After smiling, Gu Yuan showed no intention of revealing the latter part of the letter.

After all, if the Heavenly Tomb Spirit really had reached the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint, there would be no point in telling others.

Ultimately, this is something he has to handle personally!

Seeing Gu Yuan say this, Xiao Yan and the other two couldn't help but exchange glances.

"Father, do you really not need our help?"

Xun'er was clearly still a little worried.

She hadn't seen her father's expression like that in ages!

This was clearly something serious, but her father didn't want her to worry.

"Don't worry, I can handle it myself. Xun'er, you should take Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen to stay in the clan for now. I will keep the promise that Palace Master Lin Xiao made to me."

"Xiao Yan, in a couple of days, I will prepare the resources that will allow you to break through to the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint."

Gu Yuan first comforted Xun'er, then turned to Xiao Yan and spoke.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Yan was overjoyed and temporarily stopped thinking about why the other party had changed color.

"Uncle Gu Yuan, then I'll leave everything to you!"

Xiao Yan suppressed his excitement and said.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Father!"

Similarly, Xun'er also revealed an incredibly bright smile at this moment.

For Xun'er, the better her father treated Xiao Yan, the happier she was!

"You silly girl, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders!"

Seeing his precious daughter's behavior, Gu Yuan couldn't help but complain.

"How could that be? The Gu Clan is also Xun'er's home. Father and Brother Xiao Yan are equally important to Xun'er!"

Seeing that her father seemed to be getting jealous, Xun'er quickly made her stance clear.

However, Xun'er had no idea that this phrase, "equally important," was also very painful for her father!

"Alright, alright, daughters grow up and leave home! You should spend the next few days with your Brother Xiao Yan; Father has some things to take care of."

Not wanting to dwell on this matter any longer, Gu Yuan's expression turned serious again as he spoke.

Seeing this, Xun'er, knowing that something serious might have really happened, naturally wouldn't object.

However, just before Gu Yuan was about to leave, after hesitating for a while, Xiao Chen finally spoke again, "Um, Clan Leader Gu Yuan, I have a request. I wonder if you can grant it?"

Xiao Chen was reluctant to speak, but in order to see his cousin one more time, he forced himself to call out to Gu Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Chen's conflicted expression, Gu Yuan simply smiled.

Clearly, he had guessed what Xiao Chen wanted to say.

"You want to go into the Heavenly Tomb to see Xiao Xuan, right? Don't worry, once Xiao Yan breaks through to the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should also go in with you to see some old friends and take care of some personal matters!"

As Gu Yuan finished speaking, his eyes flickered slightly.

And that so-called private matter naturally refers to the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

After all, if there really is Heavenly Tomb Spirit the Heavenly Tomb with the strength of Nine-Star Dou Saint in the Heavenly Tomb, then he must deal with it; there is no other choice!

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Chen was taken aback at first, then cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Clan Leader Gu Yuan!"

Although Xiao Chen didn't know what Gu Yuan meant by private matters, he was fine as long as the other party didn't object to him entering the Heavenly Tomb.

After discussing all the matters, Gu Yuan left first.
