After a stick of incense, Gu Tianning got a reply from the old man through a special channel.

"The ice soul orb is most likely related to the opening of the core area of ​​the strange ruins. No matter what method is used, we must get the ice soul orb."

After receiving the news, Gu Tianning was full of surprise.

Immediately, the surprise turned into anger and unwillingness.

"Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu, two trash. I knew this news earlier, why didn't I report it, and let the Luo family take the lead. Things that are more than success than failure."

After venting for a while, Gu Tianning calmed down, and gave another order, "Call Gu Tianzhong over, let him contact Fade Chen, and say that I have something to talk to Fade Chen about."

………

In front of Frost Valley, Fade Chen, who had just come out of retreat, could hear indistinct calls.

Hearing the sound, he got out of the cave and followed the sound to the exit of Frost Valley.

At the exit at this moment, there are a lot more people than yesterday.

It seems that yesterday's incident has spread, and there are many more people watching the excitement and fishing in troubled waters.

Luo Yin was naturally among them. Seeing Fade Chen appearing at the exit, he opened his eyes and looked over.

There seemed to be lightning in the eyes, and a thunderbolt shot towards Fade Chen.

On the side, Gu Zhennan saw this and reminded: "There are still four hours before the exit opens."

Luo Yin said lightly: "City Master Gu, don't worry, our Luo family has always followed the rules."

Gu Yu came out from the crowd, moved close to Fade Chen, and sent a voice transmission: "Xiao Chen, there is urgent news, I want to tell you right away."

"What news?" Fade Chen asked.

Gu Yudao: "The news that you are carrying the Ice Soul Orb may have been known to the Luo family."

"What!"

Fade Chen was surprised, but immediately accepted the fact.

After all, regarding the matter of the Ice Soul Orb, he himself expected that he would not hide it for too long, and he would be discovered sooner or later. After all, there are still people in the Gu family and Luo family who know about this matter.

Gu Yu continued: "Besides, the Ice Soul Orb seems to be more precious than we imagined. Luo Yin contacted Luo Zhongyuan, the old man of the Luo family, and then mobilized a large number of people from the Luo family, planning to attack you as soon as you come out."

"This—" Now, Fade Chen was really surprised.

After all, in his impression, although the Ice Soul Orb is considered a treasure, it is not top-notch. Otherwise, the Luo family and the Gu family would not have just sent their juniors to compete.

But it now appears that this impression may have been a miscalculation.

The Ice Soul Orb was more precious than he expected, even the old man of the Luo family was alarmed, and asked Luo Yin to mobilize troops to attack it.

For a moment, Fade Chen's expression darkened.

Seeing this, Gu Yu hurriedly comforted Chen Fei and said, "Xiao Chen, don't worry too much. Master Du and my second uncle are trying to figure out a way, maybe they can persuade Gu Tianning, when the time comes, maybe—"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Xiao Chen, Gu Yu."

Hearing the sound, Gu Yu turned his head to look, and found that Gu Tianzhong was coming, behind him, Gu Tianning was also with him.

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on Gu Yu's face, "Patriarch Gu agreed, Xiao Chen, you are saved."

Regarding Gu Tianning's appearance, other people at the scene also looked over one after another, and various whispered discussions followed.

"Patriarch Gu appeared. Could it be that Gu Tianning finally decided to protect Fade Chen?"

"It's conceivable, after all, Fade Chen has made a lot of contributions to the Gu family."

"But, the Luo family's warning before, is it true that the Gu family really doesn't take it to heart, and is planning to kill the fish?"

"The Gu family is as famous as the Luo family. If they are intimidated by a single warning, how can they hang around in Nanyan City in the future?"

………

In the Luo family's camp, Luo Chengyun looked a little anxious when he saw this, "Gu Tianning is here, so he wants to protect that kid."

Luo Yin glanced at him, and said calmly and confidently: "Don't worry, even if Gu Tianning makes a move, that kid will definitely die."

Amidst all kinds of discussions, Gu Tianning and Gu Tianzhong came to Fade Chen.

Gu Tianning waved his hand, and an air mask protected them, isolating the sound from the outside world.

"Xiao Chen, did Gu Yu tell you about the Ice Soul Orb?" Gu Tianzhong asked.

Fade Chen nodded and said, "I just heard about it."

Gu Tianzhong nodded and said: "I also told the Patriarch about the matter, and he said he wanted to talk to you."

"What does Patriarch Gu want to talk about?" Fade Chen looked at Gu Tianning.

Gu Tianning glanced at Fade Chen, his face was indifferent, and his voice was cold, "Give the Ice Soul Orb to the Gu family, and my Gu family can save your life."

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and his face sank, "Is this the negotiation Patriarch Gu said?"

Gu Tianning did not make a sound, but Gu Tianzhong on the side became anxious, glared at Gu Tianning and said, "Gu Tianning, I told you about the Ice Soul Orb to let you know the importance of Xiao Chen, not to let you They also came to snatch the Ice Soul Orb."

Gu Tianning glanced at Gu Tianzhong, and said coldly: "If you want the Gu family to take action, you have to pay a price. The ice soul orb is barely enough as a reward."

"Price, reward? Hehe!" Fade Chen laughed angrily.

Gu Tianzhong was also angry, "Gu Tianning, are you going to disgrace my Gu family?"

"Before, Fade Chen represented our ancient family in the competition, won the city competition for our ancient family, and attracted billions of bets. He also killed three young geniuses of the Luo family, which brought great benefits to our ancient family."

"Fade Chen is the benefactor of my Gu family, we owe him, we should protect him."

Gu Tianning said coldly: "He is a pariah in the spirit world. Without the name of my ancient family, it is impossible for him to participate in the city competition, and it is even impossible for him to come to the earth element world."

"So, your so-called kindness, our Gu family doesn't owe him at all."

"This time I want my Gu family to protect him. It's a deal. If it's a deal, you have to pay the price."

Fade Chen's complexion completely sank, and he said coldly: "Deal? Hehe, if that's the case, then I won't do this business anymore. Patriarch Gu, please come back."

After finishing speaking, Fade Chen turned and left.

Seeing this, Gu Tianning showed a stern expression on his cold face, "Fade Chen, you have to think carefully."

"To trade with my Gu family, you only need to hand over the Ice Soul Orb, and you can still save your life. Even, my Gu family can give you enough rewards."

"However, without the protection of my Gu family, the Luo family will not be polite to you. When Luo Yin makes a move, not only will you not be able to keep the Ice Soul Orb, you will not even be able to save your life."

"Two choices, which one is good and which one is bad, you should be clear."

Fade Chen sneered and said, "Thank you Patriarch Gu for analyzing so much for me. However, I will not choose either of the two options. Patriarch Gu, please go back!"

"Fade Chen, you—" Gu Tianning was really angry, and gritted his teeth, "Are you sure you want to be so ignorant?"

"Uh, why, Patriarch Gu wants to do something to me?" Fade Chen said coldly.

Gu Tianning said in a deep voice: "A treasure like Ice Soul Orb is not something you, a pariah, can have."

"Hand it over as soon as possible, it's good for you and me."

"Otherwise, my ancient family doesn't mind participating in the battle for treasures."

These words are, without a doubt, a blatant threat.

Gu Tianzhong couldn't listen anymore, glared at Gu Tianning, and said sharply: "Gu Tianning, do you know what you are talking about? Are you going to disgrace my Gu family? Threat benefactor, you let me How will the Gu family gain a foothold in Nanyang City in the future."

"Snapped!"

Gu Tianning waved his hand and bounced Gu Tianzhong away with a burst of vigor.

"Gu Tianzhong, you contradicted me several times before, but I didn't care about you because of our relationship. But you have to remember that I am the head of the Gu family now, and you are just a waste of the Gu family."

"If you dare to contradict me again, don't blame me for not being a brother, hum!"

Gu Tianning looked at Fade Chen, and said coldly: "There are still four hours, this is your last chance, you should think about it yourself."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Gu Tianzhong and Gu Yu looked at Fade Chen with sad and angry faces.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know, it would be like this, I thought—"

Fade Chen shook his head and said: "Master, Uncle Yu, there is no need to apologize. I have already expected this kind of result, it's not a big deal."

"But—" The two were very worried.

Fade Chen chuckled lightly and said, "There's nothing to worry about, the big deal is a big fight."

"But—" Gu Yu was still worried.

On the other hand, Gu Tianzhong showed a resolute expression on his face, and said: "There is nothing but, since there is no way out, the only option is to fight."

"Xiao Chen, we won't leave. When the time comes, we will be with you."

"Master, you don't have to—" Fade Chen wanted to persuade.

But Gu Tianzhong shook his head and said: "Xiao Chen, don't persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind."

"Without you, my life might have disappeared on the earth. Now, we are still alive after we come back, it is all thanks to you, Xiao Chen."

"You saved this life, Xiao Chen. Now, it's only natural to fight for you."

Gu Yu also looked determined, "Me too."

Seeing this, Fade Chen stopped persuading him, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Then let us fight side by side."

………

Gu Tianning didn't leave very far, and at some point, Gu Han approached beside him, and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, is this really okay? If that Chen doesn't agree, our Gu family—"

Gu Tianning put his hands behind his back and said confidently: "Don't worry, he will agree."

"Because, apart from my Gu family, he has no other way to survive now."

"His so-called anger is just a trick to raise the price."

"Patriarch is wise!" Gu Han complimented.

Gu Tianning waved his hand and ordered: "Has the manpower started to be mobilized? At that time, the Luo family may not let it go."

"Patriarch, don't worry, we are already making arrangements." Gu Han said.

………

In Nanyan City, Du Nanxing received a message from Gu Tianzhong.

Sighing, she said leisurely: "Sure enough, the negotiation still hasn't been done!"

"Gu Tianning, short-sighted, sees small gains and forgets righteousness. The Gu family will be defeated by such people."

After sighing, Du Nanxing sent a message, "Start to act."

In an instant, one piece of news quickly spread in Nanyan City.
