Chapter 1468 Gu Beichen's Thoughts

However, when they heard that Gu Beichen was from Zhongtong Gujia, their expressions instantly turned into ecstatic joy.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators erupted in a frenzy, with discussions rising and falling.

"What? The Zhongtong Gu family? Gu Beichen? I didn't hear wrong, did I? That's one of the top super families in the Shenwen Domain. No wonder even a maidservant by Gu Beichen's side has such cultivation. That makes sense."

"That's right. I heard that they not only have great strength, but also control the entire Zhongtong County. The area of ​​Zhongtong County is no smaller than that of Nanman County, and its resources are even more abundant."

However, in Nanman County, five major sects divided up the territory, while in Zhongtong County, only the Gu family held absolute power, demonstrating the profound strength and influence of the Gu family.

"That's true, but Nanman County is located on the edge of the continent, close to the void of the universe. Not only is the space extremely unstable, but the divine energy is also pitifully thin. Those major powers don't even look at it. Why would the Gu family take a fancy to such an insignificant little place?"

"Zhongtong County, isn't that the place Yun Fengyuan mentioned before? I was just planning to go there to search for 'Phantom Canyon,' where it's said there are clues to the Floating Light Feather Robe."

"If Zhongtong County is Gu family territory, then there might be an inevitable conflict with Gu family in the future. It seems that it's best not to get too close to Gu family members." Lu Chen thought to himself as he looked at Gu Beichen.

At this moment, the Sage Moye appeared before Gu Beichen, bowed deeply, and smiled obsequiously:

"So it is Young Master Gu. It is truly an honor to meet you today. Please rest assured that I will report this matter truthfully to the Sect Master when I return. I believe the Sect Master will not refuse the Gu family's kindness."

Saint Yufeng quickly chimed in, "Yes, Young Master Gu, we will definitely report this to the Sect Master truthfully. I believe the Sect Master will not refuse your request."

“Young Master Gu, it is an honor for our Holy Sound Pavilion to follow the Gu family. This matter does not need to be reported to anyone; I can make the decision myself.” Saint Nirvana also teleported to Gu Beichen’s side, bowing respectfully.

The Sage of Dao Power then exaggeratedly expressed his remorse: "Young Master Gu is so magnanimous. Not only did he not hold our ignorance against us, but he was also willing to give us a chance to follow him. His magnanimity is truly admirable!"

His eyes shone with sincerity, as if he were afraid that Gu Beichen wouldn't see his true feelings.

Seeing this, Saint Luo Ning followed suit and expressed her attitude to Gu Beichen as well.

Seeing the group fawning over Gu Beichen, Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Although he didn't know the background and strength of the so-called "Zhongtong Gu Family," he wouldn't fawn over them like that.

At this moment, Gu Beichen looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Alright, just remember to convey my message when you get back."

However, I want you to remember one thing: from now on, although your five great holy sects are subordinate to the Gu family, you can only obey my, Gu Beichen's, commands. Otherwise, I can still destroy your five great holy sects.

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. The representatives of the five great holy sects, including Moye Saint and Yufeng Saint, looked at each other, a hint of surprise and unease flashing in their eyes.

They fear the Gu family and are willing to rely on the Gu family, but if they only obey Gu Beichen's orders, then the nature of the matter changes.

To put it bluntly, they didn't really take Gu Beichen seriously, who was only at the Transformation Realm. What they feared was the Gu family.

However, for now, the group can only try to appease Gu Beichen; as for what happens next, they will probably have to consider it carefully.

Saint Moye broke the silence first, cautiously asking, "Young Master Gu, we are naturally willing to submit to you. However... we wonder if you could give us some time, since such an important matter must be decided by the sect leader."

Saint Yufeng hurriedly added, "Yes, Your Excellency. After all, this concerns the fate of the entire sect. We need some time to explain this in detail to the sect leader and make all the necessary arrangements."

With a forced smile, Saint Luo Ning said, "We are naturally very grateful for the opportunity given to us by Young Master Gu. However, please give us a little more time so that we can make proper arrangements when we return."

However, Gu Beichen wasn't stupid; he could easily see through their thoughts. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and his voice carried an undeniable authority as he asked, "What? You're unwilling?"

Then, she gently raised her eyelids, her gaze sweeping over everyone present like a knife, as if she wanted to see through their hearts.

The five sages exchanged glances, their faces showing complex emotions. They knew that refusing Gu Beichen was not a wise choice, and they all suppressed their ulterior motives.

Moye Saint's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head and said, "I dare not, I dare not! How could we dare not accept the young master's kindness? I will definitely report the truth and do my best to persuade the sect leader."

Saint Yufeng quickly added, "Young Master Gu, rest assured, we have absolutely no intention of disobeying you. We just hope that you can understand our situation."

The Sage of Dao Power appeared even more flustered. He said urgently, "Young Master, please trust us. We will definitely act according to your instructions and will not slack off in the slightest."

Seeing their reactions, Gu Beichen nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, you can go back now. I have high hopes for you. If anything goes wrong, I don't mind letting the five great sects change their sect leaders. I've given you the opportunity. As for whether you can seize it, that depends on your own fate."

Upon hearing this, the group naturally understood the deeper meaning. They nodded in agreement, bowed to Gu Beichen, and then quickly left with their respective disciples.

Their steps were hurried, as if they feared that the slightest delay would bring about a greater disaster. A suffocating atmosphere permeated the air.

The only ones who didn't leave were Saint Nirvana and the cultivators of the Saint Sound Pavilion.

Lu Chen stood aside, silently watching everything unfold. He could sense that these usually aloof saints were now filled with fear and unease.

Gu Beichen's appearance not only changed the fate of the five great sects, but also absorbed their own power without them even realizing it.

As the last group of people disappeared from sight, Gu Beichen turned around, but instead of glancing at Saint Nieyin, he smiled slightly at Lu Chen: "I heard your name is Lu Chen, and you have some strength. I settled your enemies for you, which can be considered saving you. What do you think of this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected the other party to ask him such a question. He thought to himself:

"How do you see it? Just look with your eyes. You're doing this simply to consolidate your power."

Why do you have to put on such a sanctimonious act, making yourself feel like your savior? What? Do you want me to be your lackey too? You're like a toad riding a frog—ugly but with wild ideas.

Of course, while I might think that, I couldn't say it aloud, otherwise I'd definitely be in big trouble...
