Northern Xinjiang is not a rich place.
In fact, Qingming Daozhou is the only one in Zhongzhou that can be considered rich and prosperous.
The climate in many places, such as the Southern Wilderness, the Northern Frontier, the Eastern Marsh, and the Western Desert, is harsh, and the concentration of spiritual energy is far lower than that in Zhongzhou.
Twelve years ago, the Gu family's ancestral home was in Zhongzhou, but it was later destroyed by a surprise attack by the enemy and had to be rebuilt in the northern border.
During the reconstruction of the Gu family, Gu Mowang shed blood and made great contributions, so after the reconstruction of the Gu family, he had a very high status and great power, and everyone who saw him had to call him Master Gu.
But in recent years, Gu Kuange has gradually taken back the power of each branch, and the huge Gu family has almost become a one-man show of Gu Kuange.
Many resources that originally belonged to Gu Mowang's lineage were also taken away by Gu Kuange, who said that they would be managed in a unified manner and that the resources would be returned double when the Gu family became the number one family in Qingming Daozhou.
This includes the Tianyun Mountains.
This is a mountain range rich in resources, not only producing spiritual stones, but also various natural treasures.
Gu Kuange originally awarded the Tianyun Mountains to Gu Mowang, but took it back from Gu Mowang three years ago.
Gu Mowang has always been obsessed with the Tianyun Mountains, but Gu Kuange is a martial arts saint, Chu Yunxi is the fairy master of Yaochi, and his three daughters and one son are all geniuses. It is almost impossible to take back the Tianyun Mountains by force.
So Gu Mowang began to please Gu Chen.
When Gu Chen found Gu Mowang and asked him to kill a few tribesmen and then put the blame on Gu Zhi, creating the illusion that Gu Zhi was colluding with the demons to harm his fellow tribesmen, Gu Mowang agreed without hesitation.
"Come to think of it, that Gu Zhi is quite pitiful."
Gu Mowang’s wife, Xue Yuling said with a sigh.
"It's his bad luck."
Gu Mowang lay in the spacious courtyard, basking in the sun leisurely.
Outside the courtyard, the sun blazed down, the heat was unbearable. Some people were shirtless, sweating profusely, gritting their teeth as they carried things. Others fainted on the side of the road, their lips chapped. Some were even dead, their bodies rotting...
In the courtyard, the magic circle sent a cool breeze. Gu Mowang drank wine and ate meat in a cool mood, saying calmly:
"At first, he, Gu Qingshuang, Gu Qingxue, and Gu Qingyue were all in the ancestral land, but he was the only one left behind. What does this mean?"
"This means that Gu Zhi has the same fate as a stray dog on the roadside. He is a born lowly creature."
Gu Mowang pointed outside the courtyard and said indifferently:
"Like those people out there, don't they work hard? They do, but what can they do? They're still trampled under our feet. That's their fate."
"Gu Zhi is destined to be a poor wretch, so he can only be a poor wretch."
Xue Yuling laughed sweetly:
"My husband, what you said makes sense. Who made Gu Zhiming so unlucky?"
Gu Mowang threw a purple crystal grape into his mouth:
"Madam, please write a letter to Hui'er and tell him to be careful in the Southern Wilderness."
"Yes, husband."
…
"Xiao Zhi, come on, I'll take you to kill someone!"
On the Xueyan Peak, the wind was blowing the snow, and Ye Qinghan was wearing red clothes and holding a blood-red spear, looking domineering and heroic.
"Kill who?"
Gu Zhi stepped on the wind and snow and landed gracefully on the ground.
"Gu Minghui."
"Gu Minghui?"
Gu Zhi remembered this name, Gu Mowang’s son. In the past, he had to call Gu Minghui his cousin.
"He's your cousin." Ye Qinghan said.
"He used to be my cousin." Gu Zhi corrected seriously.
He has severed ties with the Gu family, so Gu Minghui is naturally no longer his cousin.
"So are you willing to kill him?" Ye Qinghan asked.
"Of course!" Gu Zhi said without hesitation.
When he left the Gu family that day, he said that he would slaughter the entire Gu family one day.
He does what he says.
"But... Gu Minghui doesn't seem to have any grudge against you." Ye Qinghan asked deliberately.
"There is no need to hold grudges. There is no need to hold grudges when killing people." Gu Zhi looked at the white snow, his voice a little hoarse.
This world is full of twists and turns, surging interests, and complex human hearts.
For example, what happened to him in the Gu family.
He clearly did nothing wrong, but in the eyes of many people in the Gu family, his survival was an unforgivable mistake.
Therefore, you don’t have to have a grudge to kill someone.
"Demon Art of Devouring the Sky" can make Gu Zhi stronger by killing people.
This was enough for Gu Zhi to kill Gu Minghui.
What's more, Gu Minghui's surname is Gu.
So, if Gu Minghui wants to blame someone, he should blame his bad luck.
In Gu Zhi's eyes, there was a snowfall even fiercer than that on Xueyan Peak:
"Senior Sister, where is Gu Minghui?"
"Kongzhao City."
…
Empty city.
Located in the south of the Southern Wilderness.
Among the many cities in the Southern Wilderness, it is considered to be relatively close to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
There are many mountains and forests outside the city, monsters, miasma, poisonous insects...
These are things that can easily take a person's life.
Coupled with the scorching sun, people's skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
A group of people wearing the Gu family's uniform were in the mountains and forests, fighting monsters, removing miasma, and collecting poisonous insects...
They were panting and sweating profusely.
Especially those who fought against monsters, who were injured and the sweat flowed into the wounds, making them cry out in pain.
But they didn't dare to retreat because Gu Minghui was watching them in Kongzhao City.
They are not actually members of the Gu family, but it is precisely because they are not members of the Gu family that they are sent to do this kind of bloody and sacrificial work.
The real members of the Gu family, such as Gu Minghui, were lying in the city, listening to music in brothels.
The Gu family members of slightly lower status would massage Gu Minghui's shoulders and back, serve him tea and water, and just do whatever it took to make Gu Minghui happy.
Anyway, the monsters in the forest outside Kongzhao City were killed, the miasma was eliminated, and the poisonous insects were collected. The reputation still belongs to the Gu family, and the credit still belongs to them.
In the brothels and taverns, there was a cool breeze and the aroma of wine and meat was rich.
Gu Minghui hugged two beautiful women on his left and right, touching them all, his heart blossoming with joy.
As for the report from his subordinates, about the outbreak of poisonous insects in the forest outside the city and the heavy casualties among the Gu family guards, Gu Minghui didn't care at all:
"Who made them so unlucky that their last name wasn't Gu?"
The Gu family members around laughed and echoed.
However.
Just then.
A blood-red spear came through the air.
Bang!
The brothel and tavern covered with various magic arrays exploded and collapsed in an instant.
Smoke and dust were everywhere, and screams, exclamations, and angry shouts... mixed together and fluttered in the air.
"Who dares to attack my Gu family?"
Gu Minghui soared into the air, leaving behind billowing smoke, and looked angrily in the direction where the spear came from.
I saw a man and a woman standing in the air.
The man was dressed in black, with a tall figure and a handsome face. He looked like a person in a painting, like an immortal on earth.
The woman, in a red dress, had an immortal figure and a stunning face. With a wave of her hand, she took up the spear, her aura swallowing the lake, the sea, the sun and the moon.
It was Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan.
When Gu Zhi returned home, Gu Minghui was not there, so he did not recognize Gu Zhi.
But there was no way Gu Minghui didn't know Ye Qinghan, the notorious demon saint who wielded a blood-thirsty spear and was known for her murderous deeds.
Gu Minghui looked at Ye Qinghan, his gallbladder almost bursting with fear:
"Ye... Ye Qinghan, I'm from the Gu family in Northern Xinjiang, you..."
Ye Qinghan's face was as cold as frost. He was too lazy to listen to Gu Minghui's nonsense. He just thrust out with his spear like a dragon!
