Without a bone-deep hatred, altar experts would not risk their lives to kill. Guo Shier's slash just now was quite excessive. Although it did not kill the opponent, it had greatly wounded his soul. Half of his altar was destroyed, and his strength was greatly reduced. This kind of consequence was hard for Lin Su to bear.
Nan You said, "I just wanted to teach him a lesson. He thinks he's so great and has such a condescending attitude. He's really asking for a beating!"
Guo Shier did not understand the conduct of these ancient clans. He asked, "Will he rely on his clan's power to find trouble with you?"
Nan You smiled, "He won't, because this is a private matter and not an official one. Even if he comes to seek revenge, he will invite his friends and cannot do it in the name of the clan."
Guo Shier asked, "Why can't he do it in the name of the clan?"
Huo Yu smiled, "That will cause a war between the two clans. This is something all the clans try their best to avoid."
Guo Shier nodded, this was quite reasonable. Otherwise, if every altar expert relied on their clan's power to deal with their enemies, this world would be in chaos. He said, "Oh, we won't be staying here for long anyway. We will leave in a few months. Even if he comes for revenge, hehe, he won't be able to find us. I don't feel like paying attention to him."
Nan You's face was full of black lines. He had seen irresponsible people, but he had never seen such a shameless fellow. He said, "His altar has been destroyed. Even if he wants to take revenge, he will need to recover his strength first. With this degree of injury, he won't be able to recover without two to three years."
Guo Shier said, "So we don't need to care about him."
A Handsome Old Man said, "With this natural rune, I can strengthen your altar again. Whether you can advance or not will depend on your luck. Brat, don't disturb me if there's nothing important. I'll be very busy in the near future."
Guo Shier used his soul to respond. He was also looking forward to A Handsome Old Man's actions. Ever since advancing to the second layer, the inheritance of the ancient Miluo Clan had been opened. He had come into contact with a lot of knowledge and incantations about using altars. He knew how lucky he was to have such a powerful Guardian Spirit.
With A Handsome Old Man, Guo Shier was very relaxed. Whether it was refining altars or maintaining altars, he didn't need to worry too much. A Handsome Old Man had almost taken care of everything for him. The handsome old man could also impart the knowledge and skills that he needed to master at any time.
Falconer said, "Another enemy."
Luo Zhan said, "So be it. As long as the two of us reach the Illusory Altar, we can help Twelve. Alas, only now do I realize that Great Saint Masters are also trash!"
Falconer shook his head. "Great Saint Masters aren't trash. If we were to return to the Northern Fu Men, you would know what kind of existence a Great Saint Master is, right?"
Luo Zhan sighed. "Even if I were to return to the Northern Fu Men, I'm afraid I wouldn't be willing to stay there for long."
Falconer nodded. He had the same feeling. It was like a person who was used to living in a cosmopolitan city. If they were to return to a poor mountain village, they would feel very uncomfortable.
After obtaining this natural thunder rune, Guo Shier was very satisfied. "Alright, let's go back. Hehe, this time's harvest is not small. Nan You, Huo Yu, don't be jealous. I'll give each of you a duplicate rune."
Nan You and Huo Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. The two of them repeatedly expressed their thanks. Although the natural rune wasn't as good as the original one, its might was still countless times stronger than normal runes. This item was extremely hard to come by, and duplicating it would require a lot of precious materials. Using it as the foundation rune for the altar was the best.
The five of them returned to the mining area. As soon as they returned to the castle, they saw a few Great Saint Masters waiting to the side. After seeing Nan You's group, one of the Great Saint Masters said, "My lord, this is a message from the clan."
The other Great Saint Master walked over to Huo Yu and took out a message as well. "My lord, here! It's a message from the clan. "
Guo Shier looked at it curiously. For two ancient clans to send a message at the same time, it was definitely not a small matter.
Nan You replied, "The clan has informed me to leave the mining area."
"What is it?" Guo Shier asked curiously. If Nan You were to leave this place, then there was no need for him to stay here. Guarding the mining area was Nan You's mission. They had only followed him here and were temporarily staying here. They didn't have a mission to guard the area.
Nan You put on a smile and said, "Shier, come with me. This is a pioneering mission, and the people going are all experts."
Falconer said, "Hey, Nan You, why do I feel like … we are your followers, running around with you."
Nan You said with a mischievous smile, "Since we have nothing to do, opening up a new area is also broadening our horizons. Moreover, the new areas often have many good things, so taking advantage of them is also a good thing." He tried his best to encourage them. It had to be known that Guo Shier was a Professional with two layers of solid altars. His strength was definitely valiant. With such a person by their side, it would reduce a lot of danger.
Huo Yu also said, "Yes, it's a pioneering mission. I also received this mission. This time it's a big one. The people gathered are all experts, so the scale won't be small. "
Guo Shier hesitated for a moment. He originally planned to let Falconer and Luo Zhan construct their illusory altars first. However, their souls were still a bit lacking, and they couldn't reach the bottom line for advancement. He asked, "Uncle Falconer, Uncle Luo, what do you think? Are you going? "
Falconer smiled and said, "Shier, you actually already made up your mind. Hehe, uncle will follow you anyway."
Luo Zhan said, "Shier, if you say go, then go. If you don't, then don't. I have no opinion." The two of them supported him unconditionally. Guo Shier felt a wave of warmth in his heart. After being together for so long, these two were like his family.
Guo Shier thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Nan You, let's go."
Nan You was overjoyed. This guy was finally willing to go with him. This way, his strength could also increase greatly. Huo Yu said enviously, "Hey, Nan You, look at your smile … Is it necessary?" She then said, "The Gu Huo Clan is also not bad. Sir, come to our clan …"
Nan You immediately became anxious and said, "Big Sister Huo, it can't be? You're poaching in front of me … That's too much! "
Huo Yu charmingly smiled and said, "Can't I?"
Nan You resolutely said, "Of course not. Do you think I'm dead?" His horse-like face was very long, and white foam was coming out of the corner of his mouth. He said, "Big Sister Huo, don't be reckless … Be careful, or I'll risk my life!"
Huo Yu giggled and said, "Go ahead, who's afraid of who?"
Nan You couldn't help but feel discouraged. He always had a headache when he met unreasonable women. He said, "Hehe, dream on. I won't risk my life against you, lest others say I bully women."
Huo Yu indifferently said, "Haven't you bullied enough?" These words were a bit ambiguous and could easily cause people to misunderstand. As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Nan You's face became bitter.
Guo Shier grinned and said, "Alright, we'll still go with Nan You."
Nan You immediately became spirited again. He opened his big mouth and smiled, but his smile was rather ugly. Guo Shier sometimes felt that it was strange. Normally, if a Professional wanted to change their appearance, it was a very easy matter. Why did this guy keep such a long face? It was almost as if he didn't know how long it was.
"I knew it. Hehe, Huo Yu, you don't have a chance! Shier is mine! "
Guo Shier felt as if there were countless crows flying around his head. How could this guy say that?
Huo Yu said meaningfully, "Oh … Yes."
The group of Great Saint Masters stood to the side without saying a word. However, their expressions were a bit unnatural, as if they wanted to laugh but were doing their best to hold it in. Guo Shier's face darkened. These two guys were not easy to deal with.
Huo Yu said, "Alright, I'll go back and arrange the handover. We'll leave together later."
Nan You waved his hand as if he was shooing away a fly and said, "Go, go!"
Huo Yu snorted and turned to leave. Falconer said in a low voice, "I don't usually see anything wrong with these two, but there's something wrong with them today."
Nan You fiercely glared at him and said, "Don't make wild guesses!" Then he waved his hand to call over the steward of the mine and began to arrange the handover. Guo Shier was too lazy to pay attention to him and brought Falconer and Luo Zhan back to the talisman house.
After the handover, the four of them waited for a while before Huo Yu flew down and said, "Let's go."
Through the teleportation talisman, the five of them arrived at the unfinished Great Hidden Castle from the Desolate Stone Secret Realm. Here, Huo Yu bid farewell to them and went to the Gu Huo clan's gathering point. Nan You took Guo Shier and the others to the Gu Nan clan's gathering point.
It was a simple and crude building complex, all of which were temporary buildings. Each of the big clans occupied a building area. Guo Shier asked, "Nan You, are all the professionals of your Gu Nan clan?"
Nan You nodded and said, "Most of them are, and a small portion are guests or friends of the clan's experts."
The ancient clans generally treated foreign professionals with more preferential treatment. High level Great Saint Masters could take the position of guest elders, illusory altars could take the position of guest elders, and real altars and above could take the position of guest elders, all of which were given very generous rewards.
Guo Shier had received many guest elders positions, so he was very familiar with this system. The guest elders didn't have any real power in the clans, but their status was very high, and they also had very good offerings. If there was something, they could do it. If there was nothing, they could play by themselves. The clan wouldn't force them to do things they didn't want to do.
The five of them walked into a large hall. The floor was paved with marble, and there were pillars as thick as a person's arms. From a single glance, one could tell that these were ancient trees that had been harvested from the Secret Realm. There were runes carved on top of them, and exquisite rune lamps hung from the pillars, emitting a gentle light. The hall was very quiet with a few attendants kneeling by the side of the pillars. Seeing the five of them enter, two attendants immediately came forward to greet them.
Anyone who could enter this place was at least an elder of the clan. In other words, only a Peak Great Saint Master would be able to enter. The two attendants lowered their eyes and glanced at the badge on Nan You's belt. With a respectful expression, one of them said, "Greetings, Grand Elder."
Nan You nodded and said, "Let's go to the clan's registration area first. I have a few friends who want to join the clan for now."
The two attendants bowed respectfully, "Yes, please follow me."
Guo Shier looked on coldly and found that the two waiters were both low-level professionals, only at the level of Master. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart. Since when did Masters not even enter his eyes? Thinking about the Northern Fu Men, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If these ancient clans wanted to take over a continent like the Northern Fu Men, it would be a simple matter. They wouldn't even need to send out Altar level experts.
Following the corridor, they came to a large room with a few people inside. Before Guo Shier could take a closer look, he heard someone call out, "Yo, isn't this our Grand Elder Nan You? You can actually recruit outsiders into the clan? "
The voice was very ear-piercing. Guo Shier couldn't help but frown slightly. Nan You's expression became gloomy.
