Chapter 722

A Handsome Old Man said, "You don't have to look for it deliberately. It's all about luck. If you find it, then it's luck. If you don't, then it's okay. You're still young. You have enough time."

Guo Shier asked, "What other materials are there?"

A Handsome Old Man laughed and said, "You don't need to care about other things. You don't know most of them. Hehe."

Guo Shier shouted, "Hey, A Handsome Old Man, don't be so mean!"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Okay, I've done most of the things for you. You just need to enjoy yourself. I'm going back. Do what you need to do. Don't bother me if there's nothing important. I still need to refine the Moon Blade for you. Sigh, the Xin Talisman … I still need to copy it before I can use it on the Moon Blade. It's so annoying."

Guo Shier was speechless. Although this guy liked to scold people, he was very diligent. He not only maintained the altar well, but also helped to refine the Sacrificial Artifact. Sometimes Guo Shier thought, "If it wasn't for A Handsome Old Man, I definitely wouldn't have been able to reach this step. My strength wouldn't have increased to the point where I could fight with a four-layer Sacrificial Artifact."

…

The conflict between the Gu Nan Family and the Gu Jin Family became more and more intense. Gradually, it affected the other Gu Families. There were many Gu Families here, and there were many conflicts. Fortunately, the Great Hidden Castle was relatively stable. Moreover, there were strict rules that forbade fighting. Once the Sacrificial Altar Professionals fought, the Great Hidden Castle could be easily destroyed. This was something that no Gu Family could tolerate.

Guo Shier's group stayed in the Great Hidden Castle for a few months. During this time, they went to explore a few places and collected some materials. Most of the time, they stayed in the Great Hidden Castle.

Because of his status as an Old Ancestor, Guo Shier got to know many of the Gu Nan Family's higher-ups.

During this time, with Guo Shier's help, Falconer had successfully refined his Sacrificial Artifact. His strength had increased greatly.

Nan You was usually not here because of the Gu Family's business. One day, Nan You came to the door and said, "Great Ancestor." He was already very familiar with Guo Shier and the others, so he was in charge of the communication.

Guo Shier asked, "Nan You, where have you been recently? I can't see you. "

Nan You smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so busy, Old Ancestor, aren't you too idle?"

Hawk Demon asked, "Nanyou, are you going to advance soon?"

Nan Yu sighed, "How can it be so easy? I'm still lacking a little. I've gathered all the materials, but I don't have the time. Recently, my clan … Ai, there have been countless casualties. I'm embarrassed to enter seclusion at this time."

Old Ancestor to Nan Ancestor Ye. Battles between clans were the most frustrating. As a disciple of a clan, there was no reason for him not to participate. Unlike foreign dignitaries, who could choose not to participate, family members had to. That was why Nan You was helpless. Even though he was about to break through, he had no time to cultivate.

Nan You said, "A while ago, one of our continents fell. Hundreds of thousands of people died. In order to take revenge, our family organized a group of experts to attack one of the Gujin Family's continents. The battle has been intense. Now, the family is sending reinforcements … "

Guo Shi 'er immediately understood and said, "You're here for …"

Nan You smiled wryly. "Yes, I'm here to ask Old Ancestor if I'm willing to join."

Guo Shier hesitated. He didn't want to kill those low-level disciples, nor did he want to kill those who had no grudges against him. However, he couldn't refuse directly. "What mission?"

Nan You said, "The Nanqiang Old Ancestor knows that you need natural runes. He said that as long as you join, he'll give you two natural runes."

Before Guo Shier could speak, A Handsome Old Man shouted, "Join … join! Not only can you train your combat skills, but you can also get natural runes. Don't refuse! Hurry, hurry, hurry! "

Guo Shier's soul rippled. "A Handsome Old Man, you know that I'm not that strong. Unless you promise to protect me when I meet a Sacrificial Altar expert stronger than me!" He said to Nan You, "What is my mission? I'll make it clear first. I won't kill low-level disciples. I won't kill them. "

A Handsome Old Man said, "Don't worry, kid. Do you think I'll just watch you get killed? Join. If you meet a powerful expert, I'll deal with him! "

Guo Shier nodded slightly, but he didn't give a definite answer.

Nan You heaved a sigh of relief. Afraid that Guo Shier would refuse, he said, "Old Ancestor, you don't have to deal with low-level disciples. You just have to join and restrain the enemy Ancestor level experts."

Falconer was eager. "Shier, join us. I haven't fought in a long time. My hands are itching." He used to be a battle maniac, but after following Guo Shier, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to fight.

Luo Zhan didn't mind. He was different from Falconer. As long as he followed Guo Shier, fighting or not didn't matter.

Guo Shier nodded. "Alright, I'll join. Where are we going this time?"

Nan You said, "The Gu Jin Family's Scarlet Gold Continent."

The Scarlet Gold Continent was an important continent for the Gu Jin Family. It was rich in rare materials for spells. The most important was a scarlet gold mine, which contained a small amount of rainbow gold. There were also other mines, such as the Spirit Sealing Jade Mine and the Luminous Gold Mine.

Guo Shier didn't know how important the Scarlet Gold Continent was to the Gu Jin Family. He said, "Alright, when do we leave?"

Nan You said, "If it's possible, we'll go now. The Nanqiang Patriarch will go too." He explained the mission.

Only then did Guo Shier know that the Nanqiang Patriarch and the Nanqin Patriarch were in charge of two branch families. They were participating in one of the attacks, so they had to gather all the experts they could. Their mission was to take down the scarlet gold mine. It was a difficult mission, because the mine was heavily guarded by the Gu Jin Family.

Falconer laughed. "This is a tough nut to crack. It won't be easy."

Nan You explained, "We're only attacking in one direction. We'll attack in three directions. We won't be acting alone. The Patriarch's two branches have about 100,000 professionals participating. Attacking the scarlet gold mine … there are more than 400,000 professionals."

Guo Shi 'er's head was spinning. What a joke. He knew what 400,000 meant. Tens of thousands of people were already boundless. More than four hundred thousand was enough to blot out the sky and earth, and all of them were professionals. This number was quite shocking.

Nan You said, "The main problem is the Teleportation Glyph. We can't mobilize too many people at once. There are also 800,000 professionals as backup …"

Guo Shier was speechless. There were 1.2 million people in total. He didn't understand at all. He didn't know that 1.2 million people was only a small portion of the professionals in the Gu Nan Family. An ancient family was huge. An ancient family with tens of thousands of years of history would have at least a few hundred million professionals. As for ordinary people, it was even more impossible to calculate.

In fact, Guo Shier didn't know how frightening his identity as the Patriarch was. In such an ancient family, an Patriarch could decide the life and death of thousands of people. He could mobilize countless resources, even if he was just a guest Patriarch.

Nan You continued, "There are more than 6 million people participating in the attack on the scarlet gold continent."

Guo Shier couldn't believe it. "Ah? More than 6 million? Didn't you say it was 1.2 million? "

Nan You said, "Oh, that's only the professionals participating in the attack on the scarlet gold mine. It doesn't include people from other families."

Guo Shi 'er slapped his forehead. He finally understood how huge an ancient family was. Their human resources were endless, which was completely beyond his imagination. He murmured to himself, "Family? How is this a damn family? It's bigger than a country. Sigh, this is completely different from the concept of family in my previous life. "

Guo Shier asked, "My mission is to restrain the enemy's experts. Is there anything else?"

Nan You laughed. "Of course, if you want to take on other missions, the family will definitely welcome you."

Guo Shier waved his hand. "Forget it, I'm too lazy … Has the Nanqiang Patriarch already gone?"

Nan You nodded. "Yes, they left first. I'll go with you. It won't take long … The Grand Hidden Castle has a large teleportation array. We can go directly to the Gunan Clan. Then, through our clan's teleportation array, we can go to the scarlet gold continent."

Guo Shier asked curiously, "How do you arrange your supplies? There are so many people … How do you resupply? "

Nan You said, "It's not difficult. Every professional has a talisman bag. Before we leave, we prepare several months' worth of supplies. When we run out, we go to the clan's supply point." He didn't understand why Guo Shier would ask such a question.

Guo Shier also realized that this world was different from his previous life. Large amounts of supplies could be carried around. He laughed awkwardly. "Hehe, I'm just curious. I've never seen an ancient family fight, so there are many things I don't understand." Guo Shier was embarrassed, but he didn't care. The Patriarch had the aura of an Patriarch. Even if he embarrassed himself, no one would laugh at him.

After packing up, Guo Shier and the others followed Nan You out of the Grand Hidden Castle.

…

A few days later, they set foot on the scarlet gold continent.

Guo Shier fell in love with this continent at first sight. It was very much like the Jiangnan in his previous life, with misty rain and green mountains and clear waters. Unfortunately, a large number of professionals entered this place. His eyes were filled with people. There were also countless flying carts and hunting carts, whizzing across the sky. Groups of professionals flew by, making the place seem lively and noisy.

Falconer looked around and asked, "Are their clothes regulated? Is the armor on the upper body different? "

Nan You said, "Yes. Masters wear light cyan armor, Mad Masters wear dark cyan armor, Saint Masters wear green armor, Great Saint Masters wear dark green armor, and those below Master all wear brown armor. Commanders wear red armor and purple armor. There are specific commanding ranks in the family. Those above the Illusory Altar can wear whatever they want."

Guo Shier said thoughtfully, "Is this to make it easier to command and to distinguish their identities?"

Nan You nodded. "Yes. There are too many people, so this is the only way to distinguish them. It's also easier to command."

The ancient families had existed for a long time. There had been countless wars between families. They had more experience than Guo Shier, who had been in the army in his previous life. A professional's fighting power was already amazing. Once they formed an army, their fighting power would be even more amazing.

"Nan You!"

A person walked over.
