Immortal Demon Emperor in the city

Chapter 286 Gu Family
"The table is broken, you pay?"

Chu Ke started talking with a smile, without a word, as if he was joking with an old friend, and his whole body revealed a pleasant atmosphere.

But the more he was like this, the more terrified Ning Dong felt. The strong imperial prestige emanating from the other party inadvertently made him uncomfortable, and even felt a sense of fear.

So weird!

After a long time, he came back to his senses, only to realize that he was still in the posture of punching, which was a little awkward.

But even so, his eyes were still wide open, like copper bells, his face full of disbelief.

After all, what happened at that moment just now was really too terrifying.

You know, his powerful punch could smash a ten-foot-high iron door, but he lost to a chopstick!
This is a bit too incredible!

He didn't even have time to roar, his heart was shocked to the extreme.

Could this seemingly cynical person in front of him be a monster?
"Gollum."

Thinking of this, the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly spread from Ning Dong's throat,
Before he escaped from Chu Ke's terrifying power, his whole body was already covered in cold sweat.

On the other hand, the girl's red lips parted slightly, her eyes full of surprise.

Although there was no one-sided situation just now, anyone can see that in this confrontation, Chu Ke firmly holds the victory, and he is too relaxed.

No, this can't even be called a confrontation, but a game of cat and mouse!
Yin Mian is obviously just playing with Ning Dong.

In this way, the shock in her heart became stronger.

She knows Ning Dong's strength better than anyone else. Although he has just been promoted to the sixth rank, he is the only one who forges his body in this lineage, so his strength is even higher than that of the ordinary sixth rank, even if he is not as good as before. The pull of the mountain will not be too far away.

However, such a powerful person was blocked by Chu Ke with a chopstick, and he blocked it easily and happily.

It's just unbelievable!
It seems that he was able to stop that disgusting bug in the hole back then, relying on real strength!

Thinking of this, the girl became more and more excited. Since the opponent is capable, it would be great.

So she stood up directly and waved her hand to stop.

"Okay, stop here!"

Hearing this, the big man withdrew his fist reluctantly, but his eyes still looked at the young man opposite him as if looking at a monster, and he didn't dare to say another word, obviously he was frightened.

"Brother Yinmian, it was Ning Dong who was rude just now, please forgive me a lot, my lord." The girl hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, it's not bad to exercise your muscles before meals."

Chu Ke said it very casually, which made the big man's face very unnatural. While the corners of his mouth twitched, he muttered the word "casual?"

"Okay, now, is it time to tell me your real name?"

Chu Ke took a sip of tea, glanced at the girl with interest, and said.

"My name is Gu Jing, and this is Ning Dong, who can be regarded as my personal bodyguard. Both of us are members of the Gu family."

Chu Ke was startled when he heard the words, and asked.

"The Gu family? Is it the Gu family in Jiangzhou?"

"Yes."

Gu Jing nodded helplessly, as if being from this family is not something to be proud of.

And the more she was like this, the more strange Chu Ke felt, because he had heard some rumors before, which seemed to say that the Gu family was quite unusual, even in such a powerful Jiangzhou, it was quite a well-known family power.

As a member of the Gu family, how could such a situation happen?

The girl Huizhi Lanxin saw Chu Ke's slight frown, and knew where the other party had doubts, so she took the lead in explaining.

"Our Gu family was indeed one of the three major families in Jiangzhou back then."

"But now, they have been removed from the three major families, and the glory of the past has long since ceased to exist."

"Especially those of us who live in dire straits."

Hearing these words, Chu Ke was convinced that some changes had taken place in the Gu family, so he tentatively spoke.

"Why?"

"Brother Yinmian, do you know what my Gu family was famous in Jiangzhou decades ago?" The girl asked suddenly.

"I'm not from Jiangzhou, so I'm not sure, but I guess... it should be alchemy."

This sentence was quite beyond Gu Jing's expectation, she obviously didn't expect the other party to blurt it out.

But if you think about it, it's normal. After all, as long as the old people in Jiangzhou's cultivation circle ask, they can know how brilliant the Gu family was back then.

So he didn't pay too much attention, so he continued to speak.

"Yes, my Gu family was in charge of alchemy among the three major families back then."

"But 20 years ago, Jiangzhou...no, there was a big turmoil in the whole country!"

"That turmoil caused countless deaths and injuries in the cultivation world. It was like a bloodbath, with corpses strewn all over the field, making people terrified."

"During that time, countless big families were reduced to inconspicuous small forces, and their vitality was severely damaged. The sea-like strong people also died in accidents."

"Because my Gu family is good at alchemy, I am relatively weak among the three major families. In normal times, I can naturally use the benefits of pills to hire strong fighters. But at that time, everyone was in danger and protected themselves. It’s still difficult, who would care about other families?”

"So at that time, my Gu family became a piece of sweet pastry in the eyes of everyone. Many young people wanted to take a bite and share a piece of the pie."

"Even the other two big families, which usually seem to be better, are staring at each other."

Mentioning this matter, Gu Jing felt a little sad in her heart, and she also shook her head and smiled wryly. Who can compare to those kind-hearted old grandpas who came to visit at home, but they turned into ferocious hungry wolves as soon as they turned around!
Moreover, the appearance of eating is so ugly!

After taking a deep breath, she continued to speak.

"At that time, the previous patriarch, in order to keep the Gu family and the alchemy technique that the Gu family had inherited for nearly a hundred years, fought to the death in front of the "wolves", and was forced to commit suicide in the end. This brought new life to the Gu family."

"That year, I was just one year old."

Gu Jing's words were full of admiration, it seemed that even she admired the actions of the previous Patriarch.

Chu Ke was quite moved when he heard the words. Such a family leader who understands righteousness is very rare even in the world of heaven and fairyland.

But at this moment, the girl's face became extremely serious, and she changed the subject and said.

"Subsequently, the Gu family had no leader, so they decided to start electing the next head of the family."

"And this is also the beginning of our nightmare."
