C40

Li Zongjiu's battle in the Alchemy Plaza could be said to be extremely famous. Everyone knew that the Li Family had produced a vicious, powerful young master.

Furthermore, he seemed to be extremely skilled in pill concocting.

After all, this Li Family was a pill refining family, and although they were only famous in this small Sunset City, they were still quite famous.

Even though the Sun family's head had been wiped out, he still felt depressed and frustrated.

The Li family did not directly uproot the Sun family.

It was to let the businesses under the Sun family gradually take over and purchase them at an extremely low price. From this point on, it was to let the businesses under the Sun family gradually erode, and finally, the most glorious forging industry of the Sun family was to be taken over as well.

If the Sun family was exterminated, it might cause a huge uproar. On the contrary, it would force the Sun family to leave on their own.

When they reached the wilderness, it would be much easier to start a plan to eradicate the roots of the weeds.

After all, this matter was still under the watch of the Sacred Flame Empire. If the empire got angry, this matter would not be so easily resolved.

Even a casual sneeze from such a colossus would cause the earth to shake.

"Young lord, someone from the Gu family is looking for you."

When he was looking at Li Zongjiu, it was as if he was looking at a future Patriarch. If he hadn't prepared so many people beforehand, he would have immediately bought all of the Sun family's assets after Sun Zhenglei died.

Moreover, so many of the Sun family's experts had already been captured by the Li family.

Training is also under way.

Li Zongjiu himself had experienced the battle yesterday, and after recuperating for a day, his condition could be considered to have recovered.

The Gu family came to find him?

The Gu family was also one of the four great families.

They seemed to have an important role to play in the city.

However, the Gu family didn't seem to have done much, which made people feel very awkward. With the Gu family's strength, if it was in normal times, they wouldn't even be considered an ordinary family force.

However, it was because there was someone in the Gu family.

It was this person who had held up the entire Gu Clan's strength.

This person was the Gu family's old patriarch.

They were the retired soldiers of the five great army Black Turtle Army s of the Sacred Flame Empire!

Although it was just an ordinary soldier, because the army they were in was the Black Turtle Army, even in the Sunset City, this family still existed.

The Black Turtle Army was a very brave and fierce army. To be able to survive and retire after wars were already an extremely masculine matter. That was why this veteran had such treatment.

Even though the Gu family had declined, no one dared to touch them.

Of course, all of this was due to Old Man Gu's current glory. If the Old Man of the Gu family were to fall, then there would be nothing left. It was hard to say what would happen.

Li Zongjiu was also aware of the Gu family's matters, and even in his previous life, he was extremely respectful towards the Gu family's old man. To be able to go to the battlefield, it was a genuine, extremely brutal battlefield.

In addition, this old man had been honest and had done many good deeds in his life.

Originally, with the old man's achievements, after retiring, he could easily become an official and a consultant. However, he had to return to the Sunset City, a place that belonged to him in the countryside, living in peace in his later years.

In his previous life, this old man did not have much news, ever since Li Zongjiu had escaped, and heard that this old man Gu did not have much time to live before he passed away.

This was a great pity.

Li Zongjiu had most likely guessed the intention of the Gu family's people coming here.

"Let's go."

Li Zongjiu pushed open the door and took the lead as he walked towards the side room.

In this side chamber, there was already a tall and sturdy man with an honest appearance waiting.

When he saw Li Zongjiu approaching, the man's eyes flashed with a hint of undeniability.

How could such a small person kill Sun Zhenglei from the Sun family?

Although Li Zongjiu was extremely suspicious of him, he had no choice but to complete the mission given to him by the Patriarch.

"But Young Hero Li Zongjiu, my family's patriarch wishes to invite you to our residence for a chat."

Gu Man spoke with a voice as thick as a bell.

Hearing this, Li Zongjiu wanted to cover his ears, he was really afraid that this guy would spit on his body.

"Let's go."

Li Zongjiu said directly.

Gu Man was also startled when he heard it. This Li Zongjiu was actually so easy to deal with. He hadn't even said anything, and Li Zongjiu had already agreed to it.

Initially, he had even thought of preparing the conditions for a bullying and enticement, but Li Zongjiu being so straightforward caused Gu Man to have a whole new level of respect for him.

"Alright, straightforward enough. If there's anything in the future that requires me, Gu Man, then you, Li Zongjiu, can only greet them!"

Gu Man?

When Li Zongjiu heard this name, he also looked at the person in front of him in astonishment.

In his previous life, Li Zongjiu had heard of the name Gu Man. He became a Elemental Lord Level Ranker before even being fifty years old.

But there was a lot more to it.

Being able to become a Yuan Sect at the age of fifty was already quite a formidable feat. Never would he have expected that the renowned expert would turn out to be this simple and honest fellow in front of him a dozen years later.

"Sure, that's what you said."

Li Zongjiu said. There was no need to waste the favor of a future Elemental Lord Level Ranker, even though Li Zongjiu was a Supreme Realm in his previous life, he could not restore his strength to that extent yet. If he wanted to do it again, although it would definitely not take three thousand years, it would not take several hundred years.

It was also very difficult to succeed.

That level of cultivation wasn't that easy to reach.

There were too many secrets in this world, and they were all unexpectedly frightening.

Even Li Zongjiu, a Zhi Zun, was unable to find some of the true secrets of the Paladin Continent.

This meant that his cultivation level was far from sufficient!

Li Zongjiu and Gu Man headed over together.

And Li Gui, as the substitute guard, followed beside Li Zongjiu.

Before Gu Man left, he purposely looked around his surroundings.

Why didn't he see the powerful old man that everyone was talking about?

Although Li Zongjiu had killed Mu Yuan, many people did not dare to believe it. The majority of the rumors also said that Mu Yuan had died because he had fought with Lin Cang before that.

Internal injury.
