However, the atmosphere within the family as a whole is still not very good.
Although Gu Changfeng's birthday banquet was only seven or eight hours away, the circle in the Shangjing was not large to begin with, and with the family tipping them off, the Situ Clan already knew what had happened at the banquet.
As the agent of the Situ Clan in the Land of Heaven and Earth, the Situ Clan has always been one of the Five Great Families in the Shangjing, and also one of the four first-star sect families.
Among the Five Great Families in the Shangjing, apart from the Hua Family, the other four families all belong to the first-star sects.
Because the Hua Family is not a martial arts family, but its power in the secular world is the strongest, spreading throughout the entire military, it does not need the support of martial artists.
Situ Qingshi.
This is the pillar of the secular Situ Clan, and also the head of the Situ Clan.
Now, the seventy-year-old Mr. Situ sat there, his face expressionless and gloomy.
Below his grand chair sat several core members of the Situ Clan.
Situ Xiaosen, nearly fifty years old, is the eldest son of the Situ Clan. He has a small braid, a square face, slanted eyebrows, and phoenix eyes, and he seems to have a murderous aura.
Situ Yunqi, Situ Xiaosen's younger brother, seemed a little more relaxed now, sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds with an indifferent expression.
After a while, Situ Yunqi slowly said, "Why are you all so nervous?"
"You heard the news that just came from the Chen Family."
Situ Qingshi raised his eyes and said, "As for the Gu Family, Gu Changfeng is already dead?"
"So what if he's dead?" Situ Yunqi sneered. "The Gu Family is just a second-rate family. Even if Gu Changfeng reached the Revolving Illumination Realm, he was still a low-level Revolving Illumination Realm cultivator. He doesn't deserve the title of ' Grandmaster ' at all. Why make such a fuss about his death?"
"But what you don't know is that it was Gu Beichi and his son who killed him!"
Situ Qingshi voice.
"Gu Beichi?"
Situ Yunqi, then seemed to remember something and looked at Situ Xiaosen, saying, "Is that the guy who was known as one of the Four Young Masters of Shangjing with my elder brother back in the Shangjing? It's laughable, really. How could someone from a second-rate family be called Four Young Masters of Shangjing? I don't know where he got the audacity to have the Gu Family promote him. But didn't he later offend his elder brother, even kneeling down to apologize, and get kicked out of the Gu Family?"
"Yes." Situ Xiaosen's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "His talent is indeed very strong. Before he turned thirty, he had a chance to break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm, although he failed, he should not be underestimated."
"So what if he's not to be underestimated?" Situ Yunqi waved his hand, spitting out the sunflower seed shells in his mouth, and said, "His ability to return to the Gu Family and kill Gu Changfeng is merely a matter for the Gu Family. Does he still remember the grudge from back then and want to cause trouble for our Situ family again? Brother, you're already at the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm, are you still afraid of him?"
"What we're worried about isn't Gu Beichi."
Situ Qingshi shook his head and said, "Even if he is expelled from the Gu Family and encounters an opportunity to successfully break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm, he still can't possibly be a match for your elder brother."
"What is that?" Situ Yunqi, puzzled.
"It's his son, Gu Chen!"
"His son?" Situ Yunqi looked at the two of them strangely and said, "How old is Gu Beichi? His son is only about twenty years old at most, what's there to worry about?"
"The greatest credit for their attack on the Gu Family family this time, where they killed Gu Changfeng, actually didn't go to Gu Beichi, but to his son Gu Chen!" Situ Qingshi paused here, then continued, "Gu Beichi was severely injured in the first wave of attacks, and it was only after his son appeared that he killed three Revolving Illumination Realm martial artists in succession, thus reorganizing the Gu Family!"
"Doesn't that mean that the young man has already reached the Revolving Illumination Realm?"
Situ Yunqi slightly moved, but after thinking about it, he was not too shocked. After all, there are many geniuses in this world. Not to mention history, even now, Fan Yingqiu of the Gong Family in the Land of Heaven and Earth is an unparalleled genius who has reached the Revolving Illumination Realm.
Therefore, even if Gu Chen could kill three people at the Revolving Illumination Realm, in comparison, it would only prove how useless Gu Changfeng and the other two were, and would not make Gu Chen's cultivation level seem exaggerated.
"Not only is he at the Revolving Illumination Realm, but he also seems to be proficient in cultivation techniques!"
Situ Qingshi said in a deep voice, "There were many guests present at the time. He used his flying sword skill to kill people from a thousand miles away!"
"What?" Situ Yunqi finally changed, then he shook his head and said, "Impossible! None of our family members have ever mastered the art of cultivation, how could he possibly know it? Those people are probably just scared out of their wits and talking nonsense!"
"That's what I thought at first too."
Situ Qingshi pondered for a moment, then said, "But then I thought of something that gave Gu Beichi and Gu Changfeng the courage to return to the Shangjing and allowed them to grow so quickly!"
"What is it?" Situ Yunqi asked again.
At this moment, it wasn't Situ Qingshi who spoke, but Situ Xiaosen. He looked at his younger brother and said, word by word, "Do you remember the message that came from the main family almost a month ago?"
"What disappearance..." Before he could finish the question, a thought flashed through Situ Yunqi's mind, and he exclaimed in horror, "Could it be... the Wang Gui?"
On the Heaven and Earth Palace in the Land of Heaven and Earth, there are two stone tablets made of essence blood!
One is the Dragon Ranking, symbolizing the strong!
One is the Tiger Ranking, symbolizing genius!
Almost all the powerful figures in Huaxia and even the entire Land of Heaven and Earth are on the Dragon Ranking!
Wang Gui, who was a rogue cultivator back then, became the number one on the Dragon Ranking and dominated the Dragon Ranking for more than 30 years!
Since he obtained the cultivation technique and disappeared for nearly twenty years, the last news that came a month ago was that the essence blood of the Dragon Ranking had dissipated, which meant that he was dead!
"Brother, Dad, do you mean there's a connection between these two things?" Situ Yunqi finally couldn't sit still any longer and looked at the two of them in shock.
There are no absolute relationships, but there are certainly minor ones!
At this moment, Situ Qingshi's old eyes flickered with a mixture of trepidation and excitement. He said in a deep voice, "All martial artists know that the art of immortal cultivation is in the hands of Wang Gui. And with Wang Gui's death, Gu Chen and his son appeared. Moreover, Gu Chen is proficient in the art of immortal cultivation. If you say that these two things are not related, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Situ Yunqi said decisively.
"Therefore, regardless of whether Gu Beichi or Gu Chen are connected to Wang Gui, or whether they are his successors or disciples, it is true that they are proficient in cultivation techniques!" Situ Qingshi said in a deep voice, "I summoned the two of you here today to discuss this matter, whether we should inform the main family and let them know as well!"
