Chapter 798: Heaven and Earth City
Heaven and Earth City, a majestic and magnificent giant city, a treasure of the city accumulated over thousands of years, an ancient city full of the vicissitudes of time.
It is quaint and magnificent, and it is awe-inspiring to the world, like a city where the sky has fallen.
With the rise and inheritance of the Gu family, it was given the word 'heaven and earth', and its name moved eight wildernesses, and after thousands of years of ups and downs, it has accompanied the Gu family all the way to the present, and has steadily become one of the pinnacle cities of the empire.
In the courtyard of an inner house in the ancient family palace group in the inner city, a majestic middle-aged man stood by the pond with his hands in his hands, splendid clothes, dignified appearance, deep eyes, revealing a calm and atmospheric atmosphere.
In front of him, the pond is quiet, the green water is full of lotus flowers, the scenery is beautiful, and a few koi fish are swimming freely among the lotus leaves, leisurely and leisurely. But the beauty of the scenery and the comfort of the koi can't dissolve a worry between the man's eyebrows, and his deep eyes are in focus.
There were guards all around the courtyard, and sensing that the master's feelings were dim, everyone retreated to the corner and remained silent.
Until a steady and clear footstep came from a distance, breaking the slightly oppressive quiet atmosphere.
"Uncle, you're looking for me. Gu Lingfeng motioned to the guards not to salute and walked quickly to the bamboo pavilion.
The man came back to his senses from deep thought: "How many people have accepted the invitation?"
"There are many friends who have accepted the invitation, but the assassinations of other families in the low mountains are very serious, and so far six friends have been injured and have to retreat, and many people have returned the same way because of the threat.
By this afternoon, only sixteen people had arrived in Heaven and Earth City safely, most of them were in the first-order Martial Venerable Realm, and a few were in the second-order realm. The ...... of the Third-Order Martial Venerable Realm Not a single one ...... coming."
"Did you refuse, or did you not arrive?"
"Several have explicitly refused, and several have not responded for the time being. However, the Emperor Fu Bai Yue of the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to help us in this Star Battle, and he is already on his way, and he is expected to arrive this evening. At that time, I will personally go to the city gate to greet him, and hold a banquet at the Tianren Restaurant to entertain Huangfu Baiyue and other friends. ”
"Thank you. Your father was restricted from going out, and most of the elders were in retreat, and this difficulty can be regarded as the most difficult in the Gu family for thousands of years, and you and I need to shoulder it together. "The middle-aged man of Wei'an is the cousin of the current head of the Gu family, Gu Xuanji, and the temporary ruler of the Gu family.
Because of the uproar of the Green Sea Incident, the imperial emperor was furious, and the ban on the feudal clans of the Bach family and the Gu family was strictly enforced, resulting in about eighty percent of the high-ranking members of the two families being ordered to retreat and not to appear for ten years.
As the number two person in the family, Gu Xuanji had to take on temporary control.
This was originally nothing strict, it was only ten years, and with the authority of the ancient family, no one dared to provoke. However, it coincided with the struggle for hegemony among the Xingchen Gulu Hundred Clans, and there were too many things that needed to be coordinated and operated, and he and Gu Lingfeng alone really couldn't parry, and since the beginning, they have been stretched all the way, and the severity of the situation has become more and more distinct.
By now, he was about to leave Heaven and Earth City, and Gu Lingfeng, who was not good at socializing, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reception, and personally set up a banquet to entertain guests and friends.
"With the help of the emperor and the white moon, my Gu family will not be defeated too badly. But if you want to occupy better and more resources, I'm afraid it's impossible. If...... If he can come over......"
"Do you mean that Tang Yan?"
"It's Tang Yan. He was able to kill the Quartet in the Arbitration Kingdom and behead thirty martial artists in a row, which caused a sensation and proved his strength. During this trip to the Falling Moon Mountain Range, I saw with my own eyes the scene of him slaughtering the Star Card Hunter, which is worthy of my Gu family's full friendship. ”
"I've never seen you compliment someone so much. ”
"He deserves the compliment. ”
"I've been telling the palace of the Falling Moon Mountain Range to censor more, but so far, there has been no news of Tang Yan's appearance, I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck. ”
"He can't have disappeared for no reason, I guess he may have been secretly captured by the Arbitration Kingdom, or ......"
Gu Xuanji shook his head: "Don't think about Tang Yan anymore, if he is captured, we won't have time to get him back." If he survives, he will definitely be seriously injured and dying, and he is hiding and healing somewhere.
It was not realistic for you to take him into the Star Battlefield at the beginning, Tang Yan is now like a thief with a treasure in his arms, how can he run into a hall full of lights, isn't this a self-defeating net?"
"In the name of the ancient family, he is willing to take risks after five years of stability, but in fact, it is the young generation who challenge the empire that really attracts him. "Gu Lingfeng still wants to make a final attempt.
"Taking Tang Yan into the Star Battlefield is letting him take risks, and it is also making our Gu family take risks, which is not appropriate. Now there are only seven days left before the unveiling of the Star Battlefield, and the representatives of the hundred clans have already set off for the 'wasteland' one after another, I am ready to leave tonight, first go to the imperial capital to negotiate with the royal family, and then go to the 'wasteland' with the royal family's team, and leave the affairs of the family to you for the time being. ”
"Uncle, don't worry, I can handle it. The arrival of Huangfu Baiyue this time should make the other invited friends think carefully, and I will wait more. ”
"There is no need to delay too long, by now, almost all the people who can come have come, and most of the people who have not come don't want to come. You'll leave in about four or five days, and head to the wasteland early to see what the other clans are fighting in. ”
"Uncle, you don't have to worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, even if it is defeated this time, it is only a hundred years of decadence, and my ancient family can afford it. ”
Gu Xuanji reluctantly smiled: "This is not like what my family Feng'er said, if you were born three years earlier, why would my Gu family plead with others like this." Even if you can't compete for the forefront this time, with you and Huangfu Baiyue joining forces, it is still no problem to occupy a resource, and it will not be decadent for a hundred years.
I won't go to tonight's banquet, you thank you on my behalf, and you will definitely have a good relationship with this group of young people. My Gu family's prestige has been frustrated this time and they are in a difficult situation, and it is a bit of kindness that they can insist on coming. ”
"Feng'er understands. ”
Gu Xuanji raised his head slightly, staring at the blue and cloudless sky: "The stars of the ancient land, the competition of hundreds of clans, the once in a hundred years of the empire, the geniuses cultivated by secret methods of all races and factions, and the hidden treasure heirs, will all go out hand in hand."
In the Star Battlefield, no one will have reservations, and no one will show mercy.
Whether it is life or death, whether it is a real genius, or a waste of fame, the battle will be decided.
Feng'er, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and when you enter the battlefield, you must let go of your burden and treat it as a grind. ”
Tang Yan arrived in this ancient city in the afternoon, first took Xiao Li Yi to wander around, and bought a few new clothes for the little guy, which made him very happy, since he was a child, he has been wearing animal skins since he was a child, and he has not touched the bright satin.
After strolling until the evening, Tang Yan arranged Xiao Li Yi in the hotel and went to visit the Gu family alone.
"You are invited? The two iron-clad goalkeepers stood across the sword, their eyes shining and majestic.
"The invitation? It was invited by your Young Master Gu Lingfeng, and he didn't give me the invitation at that time. ”
"You mean, Young Master Gu Lingfeng personally invited you?" The two guards looked at Tang Yan with suspicion, looking up and down, and the more they looked, the more they felt that something was wrong.
There was some kindness in the past, but now it is gradually becoming fierce.
"Do I have to have an invitation?"
"My son-in-law sincerely invites all parties to visit and welcome friends. However, in order to avoid anyone from making trouble, an exclusive invitation letter is specially issued, which is a review standard. The two guards were polite, but their eyes no longer trusted him.
Gu Lingfeng invited some well-known figures in the empire, young talents, beautiful girls, and they were all dressed quite decently. But no matter how Tang Yan looks, he doesn't want to be a young man, and he is still wearing sackcloth and kicking straw sandals, this is from a cave in the mountains and forests, right?
"Forget it, excuse me. If you see Gu Lingfeng, you will say that a friend from Guillotine Mountain is here, and I will wait for him for three days, and if you don't welcome me, I will leave. "Tang Yan won't get into it with a dead face.
"Hmph, what a crazy tone!" the two guards looked unkind.
Not long after he left, Gu Lingfeng walked out with a group of guards, and specially advised: "I am going to the Tianren Building to have a banquet for distinguished guests, if any friends come, they must be politely invited to the restaurant, and they must not be lazy." ”
"Understood. "The two guards stepped forward.
"Young master, someone left a ......message just now," one hesitated to speak.
"What is waiting for me to come back. Gu Lingfeng hurried to the city gate to greet the emperor's Fu Baiyue of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a talented woman who moved the ancient kingdom and a proud woman of the sky with extraordinary strength.
