Although Elder Huang did not say it explicitly, Féquy could more or less guess it.
The Mingyu branch had been eyeing the blue vitality essence of the Mountain River Branch's Fengxu Mountain covetously for a long time, and had always wanted to take it for themselves. In addition, the Lord Black Buddha was not in the Yanluo Kingdom right now, so it was obvious that the Mingyu branch was not just here to pay a visit.
They would not go so far as to snatch it, but they definitely came prepared.
In addition, the traitor Zhan Zhiming, the direct disciple of the old man Fengxu, had roped in a lot of people from the Mountain River Branch to join the Mingyu branch, which gave the Mingyu branch a better reason and excuse.
Féquy also knew that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.
The Lord Black Buddha and the Blackheart Master in the Yanluo Kingdom had always been fighting both openly and covertly. The Lord Black Buddha had been suppressed in recent years, and now that he was not in the Yanluo Kingdom, it was not known if the Blackheart Master would take this opportunity to take down the branches that supported the Lord Black Buddha, like the Mountain River Branch, and then completely dominate the deficit in the Yanluo Kingdom.
Féquy secretly transmitted his speculations to Gu Qingfeng, and Gu Qingfeng signaled him to go up the mountain first.
Féquy nodded and asked, "Elder Huang, although I am not a member of the Mountain River Branch, I am still following the Lord Black Buddha for a living, and can be considered half a deficit. Now that the Mountain River Branch is in trouble, I will definitely not stand by and do nothing."
"This …"
Elder Huang did not know how to respond. The Lord Black Buddha's business was very big, and the people who handled it for him were from all walks of life, and there were all kinds of strange things. A lot of business could only be done by people like Féquy who were not in the deficit. And the Lord Black Buddha's rules were also very clear, business was business, and there was no connection between them.
It was not that Elder Huang did not trust Féquy, but Féquy, a businessman who had nothing to do with the Mountain River Branch, suddenly ran over and said that he wanted to see the old man. He was a little confused for a moment. After thinking for a while, he extended his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Steward Fei is too serious. Please come in, I will take you to see the old man."
Under Elder Huang's lead, Féquy and Gu Qingfeng both climbed up Fengxu Mountain.
Fengxu Mountain was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was very serious. The majority of the disciples were refining their flying swords, as if they were preparing for the upcoming battle.
Because the old man was discussing important matters with the other old Chi Xiao people, Elder Huang did not directly take them to see the old man. Instead, he first arranged for them to stay in the guest room, and after the meeting ended, he would inform Féquy.
The guest room was very spacious, but also very simple. Even the tea served was ordinary. The only luxury on the mountain was the pure blue spiritual qi.
Féquy took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag, wanting to pour some wine for Gu Qingfeng. But Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, indicating that he was not in the mood to drink. He just casually sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and sent out his divine sense.
At this moment.
Mountain River Branch, Conference Hall.
A group of more than twenty people were discussing something. These people were sitting upright, and all of them looked threatening. Their expressions were resolute, and their eyes were cold. They were mighty and extraordinary. With one look, one could tell that they were masters who had experienced hundreds of battles and walked out from a sea of blood. They were the people of Chi Xiao who were in charge of the Mountain River Branch.
And the old man with a white beard sitting in front of the hall was none other than the Banner Master of the Golden Glory Banner under the Lord Black Buddha of the Chi Xiao Sect. He was now the Branch Master of the Mountain River Branch, Old Man Feng Xu.
Gu Qingfeng's divine sense probed over. Looking at the twenty people in the hall, his heart suddenly became complicated. There was a kind of intimacy. Although he did not know the names of these people, and did not have any impression of most of them, the Blood Fiend Gang on these people of Chi Xiao and the Dragon Elephant Spirit in their bodies made his heart thump.
It must be known that the Blood Fiend Gang was formed from the blood of all the people of Chi Xiao. All the people of Chi Xiao could be said to be connected by blood. And the Dragon Elephant Spirit was born from the essence blood of the Hidden Dragon Elephant. The Hidden Dragon Elephant had signed a life and death contract with him, and there was no distinction between them. How could Gu Qingfeng's heart not be complicated? How could he not feel close to them?
He wanted to show himself and meet them.
But after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Show himself for what?
Tell them his identity?
When he first woke up, Gu Qingfeng did not want to reveal his identity because he did not want to go through any more trouble.
Now that he knew that even if he did not go through any trouble, the 3,000 Great Daos would not let him go.
Since that was the case, it was no longer important whether his identity was exposed or not.
The key was that even if he said that he was Gu Tianlang, no one would believe him.
Back when he was in the Great Northwest, he had done what he should and should not have done. He played the Youth's Parade and condensed the Chi Xiao Seal. Even if he drew out the Dragon Elephant Spirit of the people of Chi Xiao, it was useless in the end.
Gu Qingfeng also did not know how to prove that he was himself.
After being tormented in the Great Northwest for so long, to be honest, he was also tired and could not be bothered to prove anything.
He remembered that Féquy had said that three years ago, Old Master Feng Xu was severely injured by the Creation Realm prodigy. He immediately used his divine perception to check on him. Indeed, his injuries were not light, especially his Primordial Spirit Dharma Power. It was extremely weak and blurry. If not for the fact that Old Master Feng Xu's Dharma Power was strong and had the protection of the Blood Fiend Shield's Dragon Elephant Spirit, his Primordial Spirit Dharma Power would have been destroyed long ago.
Once the Primordial Spirit Dharma Power was injured, it was very difficult to recover. This was not something that could be rushed. It required a long period of nourishment before it could gradually recover. Even Gu Qingfeng could not restore Feng Xu's Primordial Spirit Dharma Power to its original state in an instant. He thought about it and pondered. After settling this matter, he would help Feng Xu condense his Primordial Spirit Dharma Power and then let him go into seclusion to heal.
"Old Banner Leader, when that bastard Zhan Zhiming comes tomorrow, you must not stop us. This time, I must kill that ungrateful bastard on the spot!!"
One of the Chi Xiao people said angrily. The other Chi Xiao people also nodded their heads. They were all from the Chi Xiao people who were in charge of the Mountain River Branch. Although Zhan Zhiming was only Old Master Feng Xu's disciple, they had all taught him before. They had even watched Zhan Zhiming grow up. Now, Zhan Zhiming had betrayed the Mountain River Branch and even roped in many elders. He had even joined the Mingyu Branch to deal with the Mountain River Branch. This resentment had always been in their hearts. They had long wanted to crush Zhan Zhiming into pieces.
"For the sake of the big picture, you must not be rash."
Perhaps it was because his Primordial Spirit Dharma Power was injured, Old Master Feng Xu's mental state was not very good. Even so, he still sat upright and said in a deep voice, "Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the only thing we can do is to wait. Wait for the Lord Black Buddha to come back. Before the Lord Black Buddha left, he specially instructed us that before he comes back, we must not have any conflicts with them."
"But … but the Lord Black Buddha has already left for so long. Until now, there is still no news from him. How long do we have to swallow our anger?!"
