Back at the station, Guo Shier found that Falconer had already begun to construct his illusory altar. Luo Zhan was standing guard by his side. He didn't go in to disturb him. He knew that Falconer had received the inheritance of the Gu Miluo Family. It shouldn't be a problem for him to construct an illusory altar.
Guo Shier went to the Nan Qiang Forefather's place.
Only the upper echelons of the Gu Nan Family and a few experts with materialized altars could enter the Nan Qiang Forefather's room. Guo Shier's identity wasn't a problem, and he was someone the Nan Qiang Forefather had recruited. Since Nan You was on the Nan Qiang Forefather's side, Guo Shier naturally became one of the experts on the Nan Qiang Forefather's side.
There weren't many forefather level experts in the Gu Nan Family. They were the pillars of the family and wouldn't take action easily. They only acted as a deterrent and guarded their respective branch families' bases. They rarely left their homes.
The news of the expedition team being framed spread like wildfire. Although the Nan Qiang Forefather looked like he had one foot in the grave, he had a fiery temper. He immediately gave the order: "If you see the Gu Jin Family's expedition team, don't hold back. Just fight and kill. Don't hold back."
Although many upper echelons objected, the Nan Qiang Forefather's prestige was too high. Their objections were ineffective.
Not long after, the Gu Jin Family gave the same order.
The two ancient families began to fight in the Wind and Rain Secret Realm. At the moment, it was still limited to the family disciples. No altar level experts were involved, but Guo Shier understood that the two ancient families wouldn't be able to handle the casualties of their disciples. They would send out their altar level experts for revenge.
Guo Shier had the urge to leave, but Falconer was in the middle of a breakthrough. No matter what, he couldn't leave. He could only wait at the Gu Nan Family's base. He regretted joining the Gu Nan Family this time. He didn't expect to run into something like this right after joining. It was a little unpleasant.
Conflicts always grew from small to large. At first, it was just a conflict between the expedition teams. Small skirmishes broke out, resulting in casualties on both sides. As the casualties increased, the two ancient families became more and more restless. Gradually, the conflict escalated. Guo Shier estimated that it wouldn't be long before a large scale battle began.
Guo Shier went to the Nan Qiang Forefather's place almost every day. Nan You and Nan Gua were there as well. Nan Jiao was sent back to the Nan Qiang Forefather. Although the little girl cried a lot, the Nan Qiang Sect, this time, the Nan Qiang the Nan Qiang Ancestor, the Nan Qiang Sect, and the Sect. At this moment, the Secret Realm of Wind and Rain was truly filled with wind and rain.
After more than ten days of observation, Guo Shi 'er realized that the ancestor of the Nanqiang clan was not acting on impulse. Instead, he had long since prepared for the conflict. Moreover, the Gunan clan had invited many guests. Most of them were Great Saint Masters, a few were experts from the illusory altars, and two of them were experts from the real altars.
Guo Shi 'er met the two in the residence of the Great Ancestor of Nanqiang. One of them was a middle-aged professional with a two-tiered altar. His face was pale and gloomy. His name was Bo Ruoli. The other was a Nan Nan Clan Professional. She was a young woman with a fiery appearance. She wasn't very pretty, and her name was Han Huang. Both of them were Gu Nan Clan's Guest Elders.
The Nan Qiang Forefather chatted with a group of altar level experts every day. He didn't seem to care about the situation outside. However, Guo Shier knew that this was all on the surface. Soon, the Nan Qiang Forefather would make his move. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gathered so many people. Just the Guest Elders alone had come.
Guo Shier didn't have any plans in the Yamata Heaven. He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two ancient families, but he knew that it would be difficult for him to escape. Thus, he could only watch from the sidelines.
Bao Ruoli was a man of few words. When he came to the Nan Qiang Forefather's place, he found a corner and sat down, closing his eyes to cultivate.
Han Huang, on the other hand, was a chatterbox. Her incessant chatter made Guo Shier's head hurt. The Nan Qiang Forefather seemed to be helpless as well. An altar level expert had to be given enough respect. Even if she was talkative, he had to endure it.
Seeing the Nan Qiang Forefather's bitter expression, Guo Shier laughed inwardly. It's your fault for bringing this woman here.
When the Nan Qiang Forefather saw the smile on Guo Shier's face, he knew that Guo Shier was gloating. He suddenly laughed. "Little Huang …" Han Huang's spittle flew everywhere when she was interrupted. She looked at the Nan Qiang Forefather in annoyance. "Sir, what do you need from me?"
The Nan Qiang Forefather was speechless. Sir? Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to argue with her. He continued, "Little Huang, you're about the same age as Shier …"
Guo Shier was immediately on guard. What was this old fellow trying to do? He felt a chill down his spine.
Han Huang looked young, but her body was strong. Her skin was snow-white, and her round face was chubby. She looked very comical. She said, "Shier is definitely older than me! Big Brother Shier, don't you think so? "
Guo Shier's hair stood on end when she called him big brother. He hurriedly said, "Don't, I'm only in my twenties. I don't deserve to be called big brother." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even Bao Ruoli looked up at Guo Shier. What a joke. A twenty-year-old Altar level expert?
The Nan Qiang Forefather swallowed. After a while, he finally said, "You … are you serious?" He said, "Don't move, I … I don't believe it …" He made a hand seal and a faint blue light fell on Guo Shier. A moment later, he looked shocked. He muttered, "It's true … unbelievable."
It was difficult to tell a professional's age from their appearance, but there were special spells that could detect their age. Normally, no one would use spells to detect someone's age because it wasn't a friendly gesture.
"Wahaha, little brother …"
Han Huang called out brazenly, causing Guo Shier to take a step back in fright. This guy was one of a kind.
The Nan Qiang Forefather sighed. "Impressive. I've seen a few geniuses, but to reach the Altar level in their twenties … you're the first. Impressive."
Guo Shier was puzzled. Looking at the laughing Han Huang, he couldn't help but ask, "Aunty, how old are you?"
Han Huang coughed repeatedly as if he was choking. She was going crazy. "Aunty? Ah … how can you call me aunty? I'm very young … very young, very young! Just a little older than you, just a little … "
Nan You snorted and hurriedly turned her head. Han Huang yelled, "Nan You, how dare you laugh at me!"
The Nan Qiang Forefather's horse face was full of wrinkles. It was hard for him to hold back his laughter. Nan You said in a deadpan manner, "No, I am the Twelfth … Clan Elder. En, Little Sister Little Huang is very young, very beautiful … this is something we all know."
Pfft!
Bao Ruoli spat out a mouthful of water and said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I choked. You guys continue."
Guo Shier regretted it. If he'd known, he wouldn't have said it. Who knew there would be such a big reaction?
Han Huang was extremely thick-skinned. She got up and went to Guo Shier's side, sitting down next to him. She giggled. "Little brother, call me big sister. I'll protect you from now on!"
Guo Shier clutched his head, feeling a headache coming on. This girl was taking advantage of him. He said seriously, "You can't protect me … Calling me big sister is out of the question, but calling me aunty is acceptable."
Han Huang grabbed Guo Shier's neck and shouted, "Don't call me aunty, do you hear me …"
Guo Shier's head shook like a candle in the wind. He didn't think Han Huang would really attack him, but he couldn't take it seriously. The Nan Qiang Forefather laughed. "Shier, just give in."
Hearing this, Nan You slapped the ground and laughed. Nan Gua flipped over. Han Huang let go and said, "You old pervert. Humph, if you don't want to call me that, then don't call me that. It's not like I have a lot of flesh on me." She slowly stood up and returned to her seat.
Guo Shier smiled bitterly. He had never seen such a fierce woman in his three lifetimes. It was scary.
The Nan Qiang Forefather said, "Alright, no more jokes. I have something to tell everyone today."
Guo Shi 'er thought, "He's here. I wonder what he wants?"
The Nan Qiang Forefather said, "Currently, the fight between the Gu Nan Family and the Gu Jin Family is at the level of disciples. Even though there are many casualties, both families can tolerate it. What we need to do now is to monitor the situation. If an altar level expert appears and attacks our disciples, we will need everyone's support."
Nan Gua was a little excited. He said, "Wow, they're going to fight …"
The Nan Qiang Forefather said seriously, "Not fight, but kill. Be serious!"
Nan Gua didn't dare to make a sound after being scolded. He shrunk his neck and looked like a grandson. Han Huang couldn't help but laugh. She didn't care if he was serious or not. After all, she was a guest of the Gu Nan Family. Even the higher-ups of the Gu Nan Family had to be polite to her.
The Nan Qiang Forefather shook his head helplessly. He said, "I don't think it will be a big problem for now, but the situation will become very serious soon." He then explained. The first to fight would definitely be the illusionary altar experts. The real altar experts wouldn't make a move for now. Once they did, it would mean the start of a war between the two ancient families. Simply put, it would be a war between the two families.
A servant came in and carefully walked to Guo Shier's side, whispering a few words to him. Guo Shier suddenly stood up with a surprised expression. He said, "I'll go back immediately."
The Nan Qiang Forefather looked surprised. He asked, "Is it your follower who is going to ascend to the illusionary altar?"
Guo Shier nodded. He said, "Yes, I have to go back immediately. Forefather, everyone, I will take my leave first."
The Nan Qiang Forefather said, "Go, go. Haha, congratulations."
Guo Shier didn't say much and quickly left, following the servant out of the room. Nan You hurriedly said, "I'll go as well. Forefather, I'll be back in a while."
Han Huang also stood up and said, "Forefather, I'll go as well."
The Nan Qiang Forefather stood up and picked up his walking stick. He said, "Why don't we go together? You guys …" Bao Ruoli, who was sitting in the corner of the room, also stood up and silently followed the others. Who said that people who didn't like to talk didn't like to watch a show? This guy looked like he was watching a show.
Guo Shier was halfway there when he saw Nan You running over. He asked, "Nan You, what are you doing here?"
Nan You was too embarrassed to say that he was watching a show. He said, "Uh, I'm worried. Let's go see the eagle together."
Guo Shier was very touched and thanked him. When they were almost at the door, Han Huang caught up and said, "Little brother, wait for sister …" Guo Shier's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. Why did this guy chase him here?
Turning around, he saw not only Han Huang, but even the Nan Qiang Forefather was following behind him with his walking stick. Nan Gua and Bao Ruoli were beside him. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"
Han Huang didn't mince words. "Watching a show!"
