"Big brother, why are you out here?"
Yin Binxuan was taken aback when he saw Yin Linquan.
Everyone in the Land of Heaven and Earth knows that although Yin Binxuan is the leader of the Xingxiu Sect and the head of the Yin Family family, the one with the most say in the sect is actually Yin Linquan, who is ranked second on the Dragon Ranking!
Rumor has it that the previous generation of Xingxiu School leader intended to pass the position to Yin Linquan, but Yin Linquan was a martial arts fanatic and had no interest in managing the sect, so he directly gave the position to Yin Binxuan, while he himself took the position of Grand Elder.
For many people, when the two are present at the same time, they usually have to watch Yin Linquan's expression.
Even Yin Binxuan is the same!
However, Yin Linquan was in seclusion most of the year, only interested in martial arts, so he was rarely seen throughout the year. Therefore, even Yin Binxuan did not expect that his elder brother would actually come out of seclusion at this moment.
"The Grand Elder must have heard about Wang Gui's news, that's why he's so impatient."
An elder below said with a smile.
Everyone suddenly realized why. Back then, Wang Gui and Yin Linquan were the two who fought the fiercest for the newly emerged cultivation manual. When the competition reached its climax, everyone knew that the final winner would probably be one of these two.
Of course, everyone knows what happened next. Wang Gui had the last laugh, defeated all the powerful figures, took the scriptures, and fled the Land of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, everyone felt that what the elder said next was possible.
"I came out, not because of Wang Gui." He ignored the others and looked at Yin Binxuan, saying, "There's no need to investigate where Wang Gui died; it's a waste of time and energy. Now, call everyone back. The Land of Heaven and Earth needs them back."
This statement left everyone around them stunned.
"What's going on?" Yin Binxuan was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Big brother, we finally found Wang Gui's location after a long time."
"It's nothing." Yin Linquan waved his hand, and Yin Binxuan stepped aside. Then, Yin Linquan sat down in the center and said calmly, "Don't you know about the major events that have happened recently?"
"What is it?" Yin Binxuan thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, are you referring to the matter at the Heaven and Earth Palace?"
"That's right," Yin Linquan said. "So let's slow down the investigation into Wang Gui for now. Everyone has already locked onto Gu Chen, and our Yin Family should do the same. This time, we can't let the cultivation method fall into the hands of others again. Especially the Gu Family. The Gu Family used to be a one-star family, and although they've declined now, they still want to rise again. If the Gu Family is shameless enough to let Gu Chen really acknowledge his ancestors, then our chances will be slim."
"Brother, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?" Yin Binxuan laughed. "The elders and I have discussed this several times. It's true that some families have their eyes on Gu Chen, but don't you think those rumors are exaggerated? Nine dragons appearing in the world, Dragon Ranking, Sword Control Technique, cultivation methods—can a twenty-year-old martial artist really do that? Are cultivation techniques really that terrifying? I don't believe it. This might just be a smokescreen. While they're causing trouble, we can find Wang Gui and obtain the cultivation method. Only then can our Yin Family soar to new heights."
"Madness!"
Yin Linquan angrily rebuked him.
Yin Binxuan immediately fell silent, and awkwardly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong now?"
"I could clearly sense this extraordinary celestial phenomenon even while I was in seclusion in my chamber! How could it be fake?" Yin Linquan said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, the appearance of nine dragons... if I remember correctly, when Wang Gui ascended to the top of the Dragon Ranking, it was only two dragons emerging from the sea, and I, too, only managed to summon one giant dragon!!"
"Nine Dragons, although I can't believe it either, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth at that time were too terrifying, I had no choice but to believe it!! Gu Chen, that kid, was originally an abandoned son of the Gu Family, and a mortal. With the Gu Family's discerning eye, how could they be wrong? And with his talent, how could he have progressed so quickly? How could he be able to contend with Gu Mingheng, a genius who could even surpass Fan Yingqiu, and who relied on resources to accumulate? Do you think it could be anything other than the merit of the cultivation method?"
"This..." Yin Binxuan's back was covered in cold sweat as he hesitated.
Yin Linquan's words instantly jolted everyone awake, including the elders of the Yin Family. They had previously thought they had a unique vision and were able to gain the upper hand, but they hadn't realized that they were just being presumptuous!
Everyone in the Yin Family knows that martial artists who reach Yin Linquan's level have the ability to sense the world. In particular, the Land of Heaven and Earth is Small Thousand World. Because the space is small, when one's cultivation reaches a level close to the capacity that this space can withstand, one can develop an additional sense.
Therefore, since Yin Linquan said that the strange phenomenon was not simple, and spoke of it with such solemnity, there must be a good reason for it!
"Now, to prevent a shortage of manpower, we need to recall everyone. We have plenty of time to deal with this." Yin Linquan's words were always firm and unquestionable.
Yin Binxuan asked doubtfully, "Even if this Gu Chen is as exaggerated as the rumors say, he's at most only ranked thirty-fifth on the Dragon Ranking. Brother, do you really need to be so cautious?"
"Gu Chen is nothing to fear, and I'm not just worried about him," Yin Linquan sneered. "Besides us, don't you think the other major families will make a move? And what about those aristocratic clans and sects? Don't they want to obtain cultivation methods and soar to the heavens?"
"The Grand Elder means to gather forces to deal with those families, not Gu Chen!" an elder said. "This way, we can be prepared and ensure our victory!"
"Excellent!" Yin Linquan stood up, his aura exuding confidence, and said, "Immediately send men out to scout out Gu Chen's location. We must find him before he reaches Jingbei City!"
"Yes!"
The elders spoke at the same time, creating an astonishing effect!
The same scene is unfolding in the Zhuge Family at this very moment.
After discussion, Zhuge Wangyue directly asked Zhuge Xiu, the head of the Zhuge Family, for permission. Without further ado, she rushed out of the Zhuge Family to search for Gu Chen's whereabouts.
"That brat, no wonder I found him so strange back then!"
"So, he actually possessed a method for cultivating immortality!"
"This cultivation method belongs to our Zhuge Family!"
With a fierce expression, Zhuge Wangyue stepped out from under the moon and his figure quickly disappeared into West Dan City. He not only wanted to find Gu Chen before everyone else, but also wanted to teach this ignorant junior who dared to disrespect him on Starfall Cliff a lesson!
"Master, are we just going to let Wangyue leave like this?"
After Zhuge Wangyue left, an elder asked Zhuge Xiu a question.
Zhuge Xiu waved his hand and said, "You all know Wangyue's temper. Gu Chen embarrassed him before, so of course he wants to get his revenge. But you also took people out, so there are definitely more than just us now. We must find Gu Chen first."
"Alright!" The elder immediately went out.
