"Bang--"

Gu Xing was knocked away by a punch and flew out of the secret door.

Then a powerful aura rose from the dark room.

An old figure walked out of the secret room.

"Gu Xing?! How come it was you who woke me up?! Where's Ah Qing?"

Gu Xing got up, knelt down in front of the old man, and cried

"Lord Qing is dead, the master is also dead, old lord, our family is no longer a lord's family!"

Although the old lord had some guesses when he saw Gu Xing the first person after waking up, he didn't expect that it was actually true!

"Are they all dead?"

The two people I had the highest hopes for were both dead!

"What the hell is going on?!"

Gu Xing did not dare to delay and quickly reported what had happened during this period.

When Gu Xing reported the case, the public trial had already ended.

The story ends with the conclusion that Gu Xing is guilty of a heinous crime and is the main culprit in Gu Qing's murder.

Jin Mao, Wu Zheng, Jiang Jie and others had already sensed the movement there and rushed towards the conference hall.

After Gu Xing finished his report, a crowd of people had already gathered around the two of them.

However, this time the number of people allowed in was strictly controlled. No one below the warrior level could come.

"Old Lord?!"

"Is it really the old lord?! Hasn't the old lord been dead for more than two years? I even personally sent the old lord off!"

The old lord has been dead for just over two years. Many people here knew him and had been loyal to him.

Many people speculated about what the Gu family's trump card was, but no one expected it to be the deceased old lord?!

"The old lord has been resurrected? Or is the old lord not dead at all?!"

"I remember that the old lord was at the intermediate level of the battle school, right?! Now it's going to be interesting."

"Is the Gu family going to turn things around?"

After hearing Gu Xing's report, the old lord burst into tears.

"I've long said that if you don't take what Heaven gives you, disaster will befall you! I said then that if he didn't become the lord, I would purge the Thirty-Six Alliances before I died. But he knelt for me for seven days, begging for you, asking me to let you go. He said it was all his fault, and if he had to kill, he would die. Silly child! I've never seen such a pure child! I was soft-hearted just for you once, and I ended up destroying my Gu family's five thousand years of foundation! I'm a sinner of my family! I'm ashamed of the heroic spirits of my ancestors!"

Jin Mao, Wu Zheng, Gu Xing and other members of the thirty-six alliances back then, upon hearing their lord plead for mercy and spare their lives, all knelt down with sorrowful expressions on their faces, especially Wu Zheng, who burst into tears and could not control himself.

"My lord is so kind!"

"My Lord!"

…

Jiang Jie looked at the thirty-six people kneeling and crying, and his eyes narrowed. Among these thirty-six people, not to mention Jin Mao, Wu Zheng, and Gu Xing, they were the three largest forces at the moment.

However, the thirty-three people except the three of them were all heads of noble families, and two-thirds of them were neutral!

The other third joined Jin Mao and three others.

The thirty-six of them now basically control the entire lordship.

Gu Yan's father, who was plotted to death, was such a weirdo!

With such power and such talents, he actually gave the position of lord to Gu Qing. Isn't this crazy?

This laid the groundwork for a series of systemic changes that followed, leading to the current decline of the Gu family!

All I can say is, you deserve it!

It was the old lord who had foresight and wanted to kill these thirty-six people before he died.

But in the end, it was stopped by it.

Seriously, he was plotted to death by his own followers, he deserved it! His territory was usurped by his own followers, he deserved it!

You really asked for it!

The old lord sighed a few times, his expression glum. "My time is limited," he said. "Thankfully, I had a premonition and used a secret technique to fake my own death! Now I have a chance to make amends! Since you swore to follow my son until death, and now that my son is dead, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!"

The thirty-six people who were kneeling and crying immediately stopped crying.

"Old Lord, we gave up following you long ago. How can we talk about dying for our Lord?"

"Old Lord, this custom of martyring the master was abolished thousands of years ago."

"Think again, old lord!"

"Old Lord, be careful with your words!"

"Old Lord..."

The old lord didn't have much time left and didn't want to waste time talking to them. He shouted, "Shut up!"

The old lord looked around like a lion, pausing for a moment at Fang Yuan and Jiang Jie.

There are so many war lieutenants? !

But, it doesn’t belong to their Gu family!

The eyes looking at these people were full of murderous intent!

"Fortunately, I have a trick up my sleeve! Don't worry if I fail, I can always start over again!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"Is this a purge?"

"Crazy, crazy!"

"The Gu family is truly shameful!"

"We are sworn enemies with the Gu family."

…

No one is really not afraid of death!

Especially when you could be living a good life, but suddenly someone appears and wants to carry out a purge!

This person is naturally the public enemy of everyone.

Who cares who you are!

Even if you are defeated, you must struggle to survive!

…

Jiang Jie laughed angrily: "Even we are among those being cleansed?!"

Lin Yu said: "If the old lord of the Gu family only cleans out the Gu family's retainers and does not cleanse us, isn't he helping us occupy the Gu family principality?"

Jiang Jie naturally knew these principles, but after sensing the crisis of death, he was a little too angry and said them without thinking.

"Lin Yu, what should we do now?!"

"My lord, you are of noble status and cannot take risks. Please evacuate immediately!"

What is evacuation? Isn't it just running away before a battle?

Jiang Jie was very unwilling!

I am still too young.

Such a big mistake actually happened.

In fact, this result is foreseeable.

No matter whether the Gu family or the parliament has the upper hand, they will all be targets to be attacked and eliminated!

Even if there is an alliance, it is useless without the corresponding strength!

Jiang Jie sighed and said, "Okay, get ready. Once the battle starts, leave immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!"

…

Jin Mao stood up and said, "Old Lord, please reconsider! You've been using secret techniques to stay here until now, and I'm afraid you've been damaged. You used to be an intermediate combat school, but now, I'm afraid you're only at the elementary level, right?"

The old lord didn't want to waste time talking and wanted to take action directly, but suddenly he felt a palpitation.

This is dangerous!

The old leader, who has spent half his life on the battlefield, trusts his combat instincts very much.

"There's a battle school-level enemy! This feeling is like being targeted by an archer! You actually have a battle school-level archer here! No wonder you're so confident!"

The old lord's aura suddenly dissipated.

He turned his gaze towards a high ground behind Jin Mao and saw the young man staring at him.

A boy of only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It’s already at the combat school level!

What a terrifying talent!
