Clouds Island.
In the evening, clusters of fire cloud cotton balls were hanging in the sky. The afterglow of the sunset shone on the fire cloud balls, making them shine brightly.
The entire Clouds Island was shrouded in a fiery glow, and the scenery was magnificent under the afterglow of the sun. There were many maple leaves on Clouds Island, and they were also fiery red, which looked even more enchanting in the glow.
The scenery of Clouds Island was unique. In the evening, the fiery clouds in the sky and the maple leaves on the island brought out the best in each other.
On the island, the spirit of heaven and earth was also quite extraordinary. There were also three fire manganese mines on the island.
Fire Manganese Ore was a kind of material used to forge Divine Weapons. It was fire-attributed, and if a high quality Fire Manganese Ore was infused into a weapon, the weapon would have a fire-attributed attribute. If it was fused with some fire-attributed crystals, it would become a sharp weapon with intense heat.
In the Gu Family, most of the martial arts that they practiced were related to swords. The masters of the Gu Family all used swords.
On the Thousand Swords Peak of the Gu Family, there were all kinds of treasured swords, some of which even had spirituality.
Many of the masters of the Gu Family were good at forging swords, and forging swords often required all kinds of rare materials. Fire Manganese Stone was one of the materials needed to forge swords with the fire attribute. When the Gu Family first discovered that Clouds Island had fire manganese stone, they also spent a lot of effort to sweep away all the warrior forces on the island to obtain this island.
One year ago, the Shura King of the Yang Family, Mo Duanhun, came to Clouds Island with thirty Shura Blood Guards.
In just half a day, all the defensive measures of the Gu Family on Clouds Island were destroyed. The Gu Family members on the island were also killed by the Shura Blood Guards. All the forces related to the Gu Family were uprooted by the Shura Blood Guards.
One year had passed. Although Clouds Island was back in the hands of the Gu Family, the island's defenses were still not rebuilt.
Fortunately, because of the unusual movements of the Fourth Demon Area, the Yang Family's forces that were attacking the Gu Family and the Dongfang Family had quietly retreated to the Kyara Sea. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gu Family proposed peace talks. Because the Yang Family was busy dealing with the demons of the Fourth Demon Area, they agreed and prepared to come to Clouds Island to sign the details.
On Clouds Island, at the foot of the largest fire manganese mine, there were stone buildings and stone walls, surrounded by clusters of maple trees. The fiery red maple leaves surrounded the buildings, turning this place into a sea of fiery red maple leaves.
Gu Jiange and Gu Lie stood at the top of a 50-meter-tall stone tower, looking into the distance side by side.
The resplendent light was like a red halo in the sky. Beams of red light shot down from the sky and landed inside the tower, forming red lines on the floor of the tower.
As the sun slowly sank below the surface of the sea, a messenger eagle flew through the air at an extremely fast speed.
The messenger eagle found its target and landed on the stone window in front of Guret. It flapped its wings twice and stopped.
Gu Lie reached out and took the letter from the eagle. He frowned as he read the contents of the letter. His expression became more and more unsightly.
Gu Lie was at the Second Sky of Nirvana Realm and had a high status in the Gu Family. This time, the fight between the Gu Family and the Yang Family was caused by Gu Jiange, so Gu Lie was in charge of it.
The Yang family had provoked the Gu family time and time again, killing many of the Gu family's experts. Because of the Gu family's losses, the Gu family's Patriarch was quite furious and blamed Gu Jiange. He was also quite dissatisfied with Gu Lie, making Gu Lie feel quite depressed. He had always been very careful when dealing with the Yang family's matters, afraid that something would go wrong again.
"Father, what's the situation?" Gu Jiange stepped forward and moved closer to the letter.
Gu Lie's face was gloomy. He directly handed the letter to Gu Jiange and said angrily, "The Yang Family is really greedy. They want us to hand over five islands before they agree to settle this matter."
"Five islands?" Gu Jiange's expression changed. He quickly read the contents of the letter and shouted absentmindedly, "Clouds Island, Mysterious Shell Island, Iron Wolf Island, Gourd Island, Earth Fiend Island! These five islands either have mines or produce spirit herbs. Our Gu Family spent a great deal of effort to obtain each island, but the Yang Family is asking for an exorbitant price, asking for five islands at once! "
Gu Lie's expression was gloomy. He sighed, "The family will never allow it. These five islands are too precious. They will definitely not cede them to the Yang Family. But if we can't reach an agreement with the Yang Family, the higher-ups will blame me for being incompetent. This matter is really difficult … "
"Father, last time we were in the Soul Gathering Pool, the demon dweller seemed to … seemed to want …" Gu Jiange's face was a bit gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Yang Family is pushing us too far, we might as well go all the way and agree to the demon dweller's conditions. We'll let the people who came to Clouds Island stay here forever."
"Demon dweller …" Gu Lie's expression changed, but he was hesitant. "Although we are not on good terms with the Yang Family, if the demon dweller is involved, once the matter is exposed, we will be condemned by everyone. At that time, the other families will also despise our actions and may even accuse us of using despicable means. "
"As long as the Yang Family are all killed, who will know that it was us who did it?" Gu Jiange pondered for a moment, and advised, "Father, times have changed. Nowadays, we can cooperate with anyone for benefits. As far as I know, in the Endless Sea, there are people who cooperate with the Dark Dwellers from the Sevenfold Underworld. As long as we can achieve our goals, sometimes we can be flexible. "
"It may be Mo Duanhun." Gu Lie frowned, "As the head of the three Shura Kings, Mo Duanhun's power is earth-shattering. Unless a God Realm demon dweller comes, no one can stop him. Once Mo Duanhun escapes and knows that we helped the demon dwellers, we may not be able to stay in the Gu Family anymore. "
"If we fail this time, my position in the family will also decrease. The family will definitely not allow us to cede the five islands, and the Yang Family is famous for their arrogance. We can't please both sides at all. If Mo Duanhun is killed by the demon dweller, we can just push the blame away. At that time, the Yang Family will be in a mess, and I'm afraid they won't have the time to continue. Father, think about it carefully. "
"Let's go to the Soul Gathering Pool."
"Yes."
… …
In the south of Clouds Island, there was a hidden valley. In the middle of the valley, there was a pool.
This pool was surrounded by yin qi, and above the pool, there was a black miasma that was like ink. Around the pool, there were many Soul Summoning Banners that covered the entire pool.
Inside the pool, many ghost-faced wandering souls appeared on the surface of the pool. This pool was like a strange mirror, and there seemed to be countless ghosts and wandering souls sealed in it.
Legend has it that there was a huge disaster on Clouds Island before, and everyone on the island was slaughtered. After those people died, their souls were pulled by some unknown force, and didn't immediately dissipate. Instead, they all gathered in the pool of the valley.
Inside the pool, there were countless ghosts. Those ghosts kept swimming on the surface of the water, and sometimes they would suddenly appear and shake.
In the past, on Clouds Island, there used to be an evil warrior sect. They treated this Soul Gathering Pool as a holy land, and had always been training near the pool.
In order to obtain the ownership of Clouds Island, the Gu family sent out their masters to destroy this evil warrior sect, so that all the souls of this sect's warriors fell into the Soul Gathering Pool.
After the Gu family obtained Clouds Island, they once had a deep understanding of the Soul Gathering Pool. From the records of the evil sect that was destroyed, they knew that the Soul Gathering Pool could connect to the Sevenfold Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area. However, the Soul Gathering Pool was different from the Gate of Heaven. The Gate of Heaven could allow people from the Endless Sea to enter the Sevenfold Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area, but the Soul Gathering Pool did not have this effect.
The Soul Gathering Pool could only allow some masters from the Sevenfold Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area to appear on the surface of the Soul Gathering Pool.
In the past, when the Gu family tried to destroy the Soul Gathering Pool, they found that the soul of a Demon Dweller appeared in the Soul Gathering Pool. The Demon Dweller appeared on the surface of the Soul Gathering Pool and asked to cooperate with the Gu family. According to their secret method, the Gu family would inject different kinds of ancient souls into the Soul Gathering Pool, trying to directly send the soul from the Sevenfold Underworld and the Fourth Demon Area to the Endless Sea.
However, the Sevenfold Underworld and the Three Gods Sect had never been on good terms. The Three Gods Sect had entered the Sevenfold Underworld many times through the Gate of Heaven, and obtained huge resources and benefits from the Sevenfold Underworld, but they were also like fire and water.
The Gu family and the Three Gods Sect were allies, so naturally they were not willing to help the Sevenfold Underworld's Dark Dwellers to fight against the Three Gods Sect.
Therefore, not only did the Gu family not agree to cooperate with the Dark Dwellers and the Demon Dwellers, but they also confined the Soul Gathering Pool, using all kinds of power to cover up the Soul Gathering Pool, so that no one would know anything about the Soul Gathering Pool.
That year, when it came to whether or not to destroy the Soul Gathering Pool, the Gu family had a fierce argument. In the end, the Gu family did not know whether it was to prevent the Three Gods Sect from becoming enemies in the future, or for other reasons.
However, the Gu family also controlled all the secrets about the Soul Gathering Pool.
The various restrictions around the Soul Gathering Pool were also set by the top masters of the Gu family. Unless the masters of the fifteen forces who were good at arrays coincidentally came, it would be very difficult to know everything here.
Last time when Mo Duanhun massacred Clouds Island, he rode the Cyan Blood Bat and wandered around Clouds Island. He also released his consciousness to search for warriors and all kinds of spiritual objects on Clouds Island, but he still could not find the Soul Gathering Pool.
The secrecy of the Soul Gathering Pool was evident.
Gu Lie and Gu Jiange, the father and son, quietly left the tower, avoided some of the Gu family's guards, and went to the Soul Gathering Pool.
The two arrived at the strange Soul Gathering Pool. Gu Lie used a secret method to open the restrictions, and came to the surface of the pool. He released a strand of consciousness onto a black ball of light in the middle of the pool.
That black ball of light was made up of countless living souls. When these souls were mixed together, a hideous ghost face appeared on the surface of the black ball of light.
Gu Lie's strand of consciousness flew into the black ball of light. Not long after, the black ball of light sank into the Soul Gathering Pool.
Within ten minutes, the water of the Soul Gathering Pool boiled, and waves rose up. The dirty black water rose up bit by bit, and formed a blurry image of a demon dweller that was as black as ink, with six sharp horns on its head, and three meters tall.
"In a month, the head of the three Shura Kings of the Yang family in the Endless Sea, Mo Duanhun, will come here. At that time, I can open the Soul Gathering Pool. Can you take the opportunity to keep Mo Duanhun and the Shura Blood Guards here? "Gu Lie did not waste any time, and went straight to the point.
