low-key is king

Chapter 288 The Dying Man
"Old Gu, if you don't act again, do you really think you can protect the Gu family?"

Just when Yu Mingzhao's technique took shape and was about to attack Fang Lun, a roar suddenly erupted from the mouth of the Prime Minister Jinfeng, which seemed a bit ferocious.

"Old Gu? Could it be that one?"

Hearing Fang Lun's roar, Guan Xu's mind was moved, thinking about some information he got from Lu Xun, his eyes were also shining brightly, secretly thinking that this might be the real trump card of Jinfeng Kingdom.

Lu Xun's information was naturally bought from Tingxinlou, which is much more powerful than Xuanyang Lu's own information system, and he knows some secrets that ordinary people don't even know.

Since the Xuanyang civil war, it is no secret what kind of combat power the Zhendong Palace has. There are four strong people in the six realms on the surface.

With such a top-notch combat power, Ning Taiping, the king of Jinfeng Kingdom, is not a fool, how could it be possible for an egg to hit a stone, so Jinfeng Kingdom must have high-end combat power that can rival Xuanyang Kingdom.

The information obtained by Lu Xun was naturally handed over to Guan Xu long ago. The success of dozens of cities in the past is due to the contribution of this information.

In addition, the Hidden Assassination Club secretly shot and assassinated the guards of the cities, which also made the battle of the Shenji Camp more effective. These were all done by Lu Xun secretly, and the effect was amazing.

This is the capital of Jinfeng Kingdom, and Lu Xun also believes that Ning Taiping will definitely leave some behind. Now it seems that the so-called Gu Lao should be the one left by the Ning royal family.

boom!
Just when Guan Xu's thoughts were turning, a majestic aura suddenly came from Fang Lun's side, blowing away Yu Mingzhao's technique that wanted to kill Fang Lun.

As Guan Xu and Yu Mingzhao turned their eyes one after another, they immediately saw Fang Lun's side, and at some point there was an extremely old figure, but the aura on that body was extremely majestic.

Prime Minister Fang Lun was nearly seventy years old and looked quite old, but the newly appeared figure was much older than Fang Lun.

His hair and beard are all white, and his face is full of wrinkles like knives and axes.

Even Guan Xu and Yu Mingzhao looked carefully, and could see that the man's brows were darkened, which seemed to be a sign of the spread of death, which made them feel a strange feeling in their hearts.

The lifespan of an ordinary person is only a hundred years old, but even for a practitioner of the lower five realms, it is not bad to live to be 150 years old. That person seems to be close to this age.

Only those monks who are good at vitality can improve their lifespan based on the original foundation, but that person is obviously not a monk, but a martial artist.

"The martial artist of the six realms, you should be Gu Tiancheng, right?"

A name flashed in Guan Xu's mind, and he blurted it out with a serious face at the moment, and it seemed strange that he immediately attracted the old man's eyes.

"The old man has been in seclusion for 30 years. I didn't expect you, a junior, to recognize the old man's identity at a glance?"

It seems that the old man named Gu Tiancheng was quite surprised when Guan Xu called out his name.

Judging by the age of the other party, I'm afraid he was still a young man 30 years ago, right?

Speaking of which, Gu Tiancheng's six-level Dacheng martial artist was well-known in Jinfeng Country decades ago.

That was the head of the older generation of the Gu family. Strictly speaking, his seniority was two generations older than Ning Taiping, the current capital of the country.

The status of the Gu family in Jinfeng Kingdom is similar to that of Xuanyang Yan's family. Among the ten generations of Ning's monarchs, at least half of the queens have the surname Gu.

There was even a period of time when the Gu family was still in control of the Jinfeng court, but this time the monarch Ning Taiping was too strong and regained the initiative of the Ning family's royal family.

Gu Tiancheng was known as the number one expert in the Golden Wind Country back then, but he has disappeared over the years. Many people think that he has died of old age, and his reputation has gradually faded.

Perhaps only the important figures of the Ning royal family, or the important figures of the Gu family, knew that the ancestor of the Gu family was actually in retreat, wanting to hit a higher level and improve his lifespan.

It's a pity that in the past 30 years, Gu Tiancheng has only improved his cultivation from the sixth level of minor success to the sixth level of great success, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the seventh level of cloud body.

And recently, Gu Tiancheng has some insights, even if it is far away to break through to the Seventh Realm, he believes that in a few days, he will be able to break through to the Sixth Realm.

But at this time, Gu Tiancheng was awakened by Queen Gu Zi with the art of blood.

This made him depressed and angry, but at the same time, he also knew that the Gu family must be in danger of genocide, otherwise Gu Zi would never dare to disturb his cultivation.

Because Gu Tiancheng's lifespan has actually been exhausted, it is because of the reduction of energy consumption in retreat these years that he can survive until now, and only by obtaining a breakthrough in the realm can he increase his lifespan.

That is to say, Gu Tiancheng was forcibly awakened, if he could not break through in this battle, then he might only have one chance to fight.

Fighting will also speed up the consumption of life essence.

Gu Tiancheng couldn't do anything to Queen Gu Zi, and he couldn't directly kill the Prime Minister Fang Lun who was yelling just now, so all his anger was passed on to those powerhouses of Xuanyang Kingdom.

It's just that when Gu Tiancheng was about to burst into anger, he was a little curious when he suddenly heard the other party call out his name.

Is the current Xuanyang Kingdom so well-informed?
"Patriarch Gu's name was heard like thunder in Jinfeng Country back then, even if Guan is far away in Xuanyang, he has heard of it!"

Guan Xu cupped his hands. In fact, he heard these things from Lu Xun, and it really sounded like that when he said it at the moment, which made Gu Tiancheng doubtful.

"Since you know Gu's name, then go back where you came from. If you really want to send your life here, it's not worth it!"

Gu Tiancheng was old and hot. He obviously sensed the situation in the city, and the other party was above the sky. He didn't have much to do with those people. His tone at this moment was actually somewhat compromised.

If the other party can really retreat as promised, then there is no need to consume Gu Tiancheng's little vitality. He still wants to go back to retreat and hit a higher level.

"How about this, how about Patriarch Gu handing over the Ning family and the Prime Minister's family, and we retreat immediately?"

Guan Xu shook his head slightly, at this point, how could he retreat, and the reason he said, thinking about it with his toes, the other party couldn't possibly agree.

Even though Guan Xu was only talking about the royal family of the Ning family and the prime minister's mansion, the Gu family is the empress's family. The princes and grandchildren of Jinfeng Kingdom all have Gu's blood in their bodies.

It can be said that the Gu family and the Ning family are already inseparable. Maybe Gu Tiancheng would consider asking the Gu family to hand over the prime minister's mansion, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over the Ning family.

"It's really a toast, don't eat, eat and drink!"

Sure enough, after Guan Xu's words fell, Gu Tiancheng's face had already turned ashen, and the dead air between his brows became more and more obvious due to the fluctuation of his mood.

"Patriarch Gu, if Guan's predictions are correct, your brows are blackened, it is obvious that your life is not long. Do you really want to ruin this last chance of survival on this battle that is doomed to be impossible to win?"

Guan Xu talked eloquently, he observed very carefully, and got some information from Lu Xun, after a little analysis, in fact, he had guessed about Gu Tiancheng's situation almost to a close.

"This old man is the head of the Gu family!"

This time Gu Tiancheng became much calmer, maybe what he said was the real reason, otherwise he wouldn't risk falling out of the gate because of Gu Zi's call.

"Hope you don't let me down!"

Gu Tiancheng suddenly said these inexplicable words, which made Guan Xu startled for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Yu Mingzhao over there, and Yuan Huo who was driving Xiao Yan to death.

"Patriarch Gu is really good at making wishful thinking, but I don't know if you will have such great confidence when your life energy is exhausted?"

Apparently, Guan Xu had seen what the other party was thinking. This Gu Tiancheng wanted to use the ultimate battle, with the help of Yuan Huo and Yu Mingzhao, to break through to the perfection of the six realms in one fell swoop.

Although this would not allow Gu Tiancheng to increase his lifespan, it would allow him to finish the round without any worries, and then seek a way to break through to the seventh realm.

Gu Tiancheng did have this confidence, even though his death was imminent, he was still a martial artist who had reached the sixth realm, which was two stages higher than Yuan Huo who had just broken through over there.

As for Yu Mingzhao, during this period of time he had broken through to the realm of the Sixth Realm Mastery, but when he was facing a martial artist who was also the Sixth Realm Mastery, he didn't dare to get close at all, and could only cast spells from a distance.

"In this battle, Gu will go all out, you can wish for luck!"

The blackness on Gu Tiancheng's face became more and more intense, so he didn't want to waste any more time, but his aura immediately locked on to Yu Mingzhao, causing the face of this great monk of the Taihang Sect to change slightly.

"Yuan Huo, help me!"

Seeing this, Yu Mingzhao didn't dare to neglect, and immediately called for helpers. If Gu Tiancheng, who had reached the sixth realm, really wanted to get close to him, he might be in danger.

This is the sadness of a fellow monk being approached by a fellow martial artist!

"It's really useless!"

Hearing Yu Mingzhao's call for help, Yuan Huo over there was also dissatisfied. He was pushing Xiao Yan into a desperate situation, and he was about to kill him with one blow, but he had to give up at this moment.

Because Yuan Huo actually knew that if that old fellow Gu Tiancheng were to kill Yu Mingzhao, he would be the only one left, and he might not be the opponent of a six-level master.

As for the judge and the black cat, Yuan Huo didn't see it at all at the moment. If the judge had already left, or it was too late to come over, he might really have died here.

However, even though Yuan Huo felt aggrieved, he still didn't dare to let him leave and ignore this matter.

If that person just hid in the dark and observed, wouldn't he put himself in a situation where he would never recover?
