2490 The Allegiance of the Gu Family
Gu Ning’s expression was pale as she softly transmitted her voice.
Behind her were many people of the Gu family dressed in white, with white hemp ribbons on their heads.
They seemed to reminisce about the people of the Gu family who had passed away.
When the formation opened, the 3,000 people Gu Ning brought with her did not enter except her and Saintess Gu.
“Where is Senior Baiyi?”
Seeing Gu Baiyi not among them, Qin Yu had a premonition in his heart.
“Martial Uncle has already passed away. Withstanding Xiao Sheng’s punch of heaven and earth has surpassed her limit. Her body has suffered a severe injury. Even the Gu family’s celestial artifact, the Heart of the Ocean, could not heal her injuries. She would never be able to cultivate again. Under such a blow, Martial Uncle passed away yesterday.”
After saying this, Saintess Gu could no longer hold back her tears.
“Senior Sister has always been strong-willed. Despite being a woman, she stands as tall as many men in the world. Even if she dies today, she dies standing, with no regrets, no need for grief.”
Gu Ning did not look sad at all.
“Qin Yu, I intend to let all the members of the Gu family join Human Race Watch Overwatch. I wonder what your higher-ups would think?”
“Human Race Watch was established as an alliance for humanity itself, not for internal conflict. Just like our support for the Gu family this time. It would be best if you could accept it. However, if you still want to create internal intrigue, forming different factions within, there’s no need to join.”
Qin Yu said directly. The 3,000 cultivators of the Gu family joining meant their strength would be enormous.
Including the Supreme Elders of the Gu family, there were as many as six Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivators.
Among them, nearly 500 were True Saints. Would these people take instruction without reservation after joining?
Qin Yu smiled bitterly.
It would definitely cause a huge commotion if these 3,000 cultivators joined other forces. It was a huge battle force, and others would take out a vast amount of resources to attract them.
However, to Qin Yu and the others, Human Race Watch was not an alliance that fought for hegemony and benefits.
Lei Xin again rejected the invitation without reason.
Based on Lei Xin’s understanding of Gu Ning, it was most likely not a good thing.
“The demon race is forging a supreme celestial artifact, the Crown of the Demon King. This crown is forged using the crown bone of the ancient tribe Demon Emperor, nurtured by the blood essence of numerous divine beasts. For every interval, the supreme experts of every race will offer sacrifices. Now, this Crown of the Demon King has taken shape. My goal for this trip is to seize it. Even if it doesn’t work, I must destroy it to avenge the monster race’s attack on the Gu family.”
As if she felt not making it clear enough, Gu Ning added.
“There is a huge gap between the power of the demon race and the spiritual power of our human race. I will be noticed immediately if I forcefully seize it. Moreover, I might not be able to subdue it. As for Qin Yu, his chaotic body will not cause a huge backlash when it comes into contact with this crown of the demon race.”
“Gu Ning, many things in your plan are not worth considering. I can’t let Qin Yu die with you.”
Flower Granny said with a frown. Many things did not make sense if one thought about it carefully.
“This trip, I, Saintess Gu of my family, and you, the three of us, will face great danger, including me. However, we also need opportunities to advance. The Crown of the Demon King doesn’t only involve the inheritance of the demon race, but it also contains the cultivation path of the demon race. By merely referring to its information, it will benefit you significantly.”
Gu Ning hesitated and continued, “I have other choices for this trip, but this is what Baiyi told me before she left, and I ended up choosing you. If you reject, just take it as my Gu family has never come today. I won’t force you.”
“I’ll go.”
Hearing the mention of Gu Baiyi’s name, Qin Yu hesitated and then agreed.
Actually, based on the fact that Saintess Gu would go together and the others of the Gu family would stay.
He could tell that Gu Ning did not lie to him, and it was indeed as she said.
Qin Yu was walking the path of anomaly now, but not comparable to Xiao Sheng, who had entered the path of anomaly.
Even Xi Menn’s Way of the Sword was stronger than him.
With the powerful soul power he had gained from condensing the Soul Spirit Bead in purgatory, he could barely draw upon the third or fourth level of the power of the Path of Heaven.
However, he had stuck there. If he dragged on, the people around him would soon catch up to him.
“I’ll set off after I have settled the people of the Gu family. You still have a chance to retract it before you leave. Once you enter the Azure Rock Forest, your life and death will be decided by heaven. I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Gu Ning left after she finished speaking.
