"A more terrifying enemy?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenfeng was somewhat surprised.
Could there be an opponent stronger than the Huangfu Lineage, or even... the Imperial Family?
Throughout Yan Province, such existences could be counted on one hand.
"Father, do you mean the Azure Sky Sect?" Gu Chenfeng asked tentatively.
Gu Lingxiao gave a cold laugh.
"Your guess is too conservative. Perhaps... it's more than just that one?"
Gu Chenfeng's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of insight shot through his mind.
He suddenly recalled the information Shangguan Bingxin and Su Wanyue had once given him.
Including the Azure Sky Sect and the Gu God Sect.
The Four Great Sects of Yan Province all seemed to be searching for something in the Imperial Capital.
But after his grandfather emerged from seclusion.
The Four Great Sects had all temporarily left the Imperial Capital for various reasons.
Thinking about it now, there had to be an inseparable connection between the two.
"Could the thing the Four Great Sects are looking for be in Grandfather's hands?"
The words Gu Chenfeng blurted out surprised even Gu Lingxiao a little.
"You know quite a lot."
His father's words undoubtedly confirmed Gu Chenfeng's guess.
The Gu Lineage actually had to face the Four Great Sects of Yan Province!
Gu Chenfeng's heart sank.
Those four sects were unfathomable, transcendent existences beyond the restraints of secular dynasties.
Who knew how many experts and mighty cultivators lay hidden within them?
Making an enemy of even one of them would already spell a disaster that swallowed countless experts or factions whole.
Even the Gu Lineage could not possibly withstand all Four Great Sects at once.
"What exactly did Grandfather take? Is there really no other way to resolve this?"
"There is. Hand it over."
But Gu Lingxiao sighed helplessly again.
