Although he knew that saying this might anger Gu Xianzhi again, there was nothing he could do because they really couldn't rescue Gu Linfeng.

Rather than being dealt with by Gu Xianzhi later, it is better to tell the truth now.

But after he finished speaking, the storm he had imagined did not come. Instead, Gu Xianzhi remained silent for a long time, and then said in a dull voice:

"I know you can't do anything about this, but the person trapped in this ghostly space is my apprentice, who I've been with day and night. I adopted him and raised him since he was a child. Can you understand the feelings between him and me?"

After listening to Gu Xianzhi's words, Yan Peng and others fell silent. From these words, they could naturally understand Gu Xianzhi.

If they were in their place, they would find out that the most promising youngster in their family was targeted by the demons and in great danger because they helped another family.

They might find it difficult to control themselves.

Yan Peng pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, as if he had made up his mind: "Senior Gu, when this happened, we were unable to stop it in time."

"We bear some responsibility for this matter, so I want to apologize to you on behalf of the Federation!"

He said very sincerely that the most appropriate way to make up for it now was to use cultivation resources. Otherwise, if Gu Xianyi broke up their association in anger, it would be more trouble than gain.

"Humph, who do you think I am? Did I come here today just to ask for your cultivation resources?!"

As Gu Xianzhi spoke, his anger rose again.

At this time, another sturdy patriarch hurried forward and said, "Senior Gu, please don't misunderstand me. Old Yan didn't mean that. This is just an apology and a token of our appreciation from our association!"

If Gu Xianzhi could accept this apology, then he would have no reason to take action against the Federation.

Gu Xianzhi looked at them and pondered again. Then he said, "Since you are so thoughtful, I will accept this gift on behalf of my apprentice!"

"But I'm telling you, this apology is for my precious disciple, so the training resources you prepare must also be the upgrade materials needed for him to reach the fifth level!"

Level five?

The family heads present looked at each other in confusion. They naturally understood what Gu Xian had said before, which meant that they were sorry for Gu Linfeng.

Therefore, this apology must also be given to him. When they heard this, they were convinced that Gu Xianzhi was not here to blackmail their association.

After all, Gu Linfeng is in great danger now. He has been trapped in the ghost space for so long and there is still no news.

But after hearing the following words, they were a little stunned.

The prepared cultivation resources are for the fifth level, which means Gu Linfeng is only at the fifth level?

But how is this possible? They have all witnessed Gu Linfeng's combat power with their own eyes. Even the peak seventh-level warriors have to avoid his edge.

How is it possible that his realm is only at the fifth level?

But they thought of something else. Gu Linfeng had directly entered the fifth-level secret area, and they still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Although he had some talents and skills to change the rules, they were watching Gu Linfeng the whole time and had never seen him use such means.

Could it be that he is really at the fifth level, so he can directly enter the fifth level secret area without using any means.

If that’s the case, then Gu Linfeng’s talent must be extremely powerful and terrifying?

When they thought about losing such a genius, the family heads suddenly felt like they had caused a big disaster.

Yan Peng even said repeatedly: "Senior Gu, don't worry, this apology will definitely be very generous. We will mobilize all the resources of the Federation to find all the materials suitable for the fifth-level upgrade!"

He made the promise, fearing that Gu Xianzhi would go back on his word.

"Okay, hurry up. I'll do my best to find my disciple. I hope that by the time I find him, you'll have all the materials ready!"

Gu Xianzhi spoke slowly.

Immediately, Yan Peng made arrangements and asked his men to move all the fifth-level materials from the Federation's treasury as quickly as possible.

The treasure house of the entire federation contains much more materials than those sold by the Li Chamber of Commerce outside. After all, they have gathered the strength of all the clans in the south.

At the request of these leaders, the people below acted quickly and the fifth-level materials were directly carried up.

at the same time.

In the protector's own world, Li Xuan was still concentrating on comprehending the Art of Heaven's Heart and My Will. At this moment, he had already cultivated this technique to the entry level.

At the entry level, his attributes were improved by 10% across the board, but when he reached a small level of success, he encountered a certain bottleneck.

Just then, he sensed something and looked down.

He was able to contact his master directly, so seeing him come to the Clan Federation, he was suddenly confused and couldn't help but ask directly: "Master, what are you doing?"

"What for? I'm trying to get you some benefits. Those losers from the Federation actually let the demons take you away right in front of them. I have to help you make a killing!"

Gu Xianzhi said casually.

In fact, right after Li Xuan was rescued by the protector, he understood the situation, but he still went to the Clan Federation as soon as possible.

He also used his acting skills to great effect, and this performance caused the Federation to bleed heavily.

They probably never imagined that such a peak eighth-level cultivator would become so shameless in pursuit of cultivation resources.

Li Xuan looked at his master's operation with some contempt at first, but after seeing him deliver all the fifth-level materials.

He was stunned for a moment, because these materials were enough for him to reach the peak of the fifth level. As long as he refined them all, his level would be raised to level 59.

"Master, you are so handsome!"

Li Xuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, it's not so bad. For my disciple, of course I have to work harder. Besides, didn't you give me a meeting gift before? Now it's my turn!"

Gu Xianzhi chuckled and didn't care about his own behavior.

I'm afraid that everyone in the Federation is still kept in the dark.

"Take advantage of this time to improve yourself. The martial arts tournament is about to begin, so don't embarrass me!"

Gu Xianzhi opened his mouth and gave instructions.

Li Xuan looked at the materials scattered on the ground and nodded immediately, saying, "Master, these materials are enough for me to reach the peak of the fifth level. By then, no one among the seventh level will be able to defeat me!"

Having just fought in the seventh-level secret area, Li Xuan was very confident in his own strength.

Gu Xianzhi said calmly, "Don't be arrogant. There are many geniuses in the hermit world. You should proceed steadily and don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"I understand, Master. I won't say any more. I'm going to start refining these materials!"

Li Xuan was already getting impatient.
