In the Jianmen Hall.

"Junior Brother Gu, haven't come out yet?" Dugu Wei asked with a frown.

"Master, not yet." A disciple said respectfully.

Dugu Wei's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

At this time, the head of Wanren Peak suddenly said, "Master, the situation is urgent now. The fate of the entire Qingmu Region depends on Junior Brother Gu. Why don't we force him to come out of seclusion?"

Before Dugu Wei could say anything, Lin Miaoke suddenly stood up and said, "No! Junior Brother Gu swallowed the inner demon to help me overcome the inner demon last time. Although he was holding on and pretending that nothing had happened,

But I knew that he was just pretending and didn't want me to worry.

That was a calamity of the inner demon. His cultivation was low, and no matter how miraculous the Four Sacred Bodies were, it was impossible for him to remain unaffected. He must have been in seclusion this time to heal his wounds.

You must not disturb him at this time. If you damage Junior Brother Gu's foundation, Jianmen will lose a future Heavenly Emperor!"

"Junior Sister Lin is right." Dugu Wei said in a deep voice: "When a cultivator is in seclusion, it is most taboo to be disturbed. At the very least, the foundation will be damaged, and at the worst, it will cause the person to go astray. Junior Brother Gu is a Heavenly Emperor, and there must be no mistakes.

Besides, the major sects in Qingmu Territory are trying to harm Junior Brother Gu. Facing such a crisis, his cultivation is low, so even if he knew about it, it would be useless. "

"Damn it!" Meng Yan, the head of Nilin Peak, suddenly yelled in anger.

"Who on earth leaked the news! If it weren't for this damned traitor, how could Jianmen have suffered such a disaster? If I find out the traitor, I will definitely extract his soul and refine his spirit, and cut him into pieces!"

As he became more angry, a terrifying pressure erupted, the space continued to shake, and the hall began to crumble.

“Junior Brother Meng, don’t be angry. I know that you and Junior Brother Gu are from the same Nilin Peak and you have a deep relationship. But now we are in danger, so don’t let your emotions get the better of you.” Dugu Wei said to comfort him.

Meng Yan's eyes were red, his teeth were gnashing, and his fists were clenched tightly, looking as if he would never forgive the traitor.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh, and his whole body was like a deflated ball. His aura disappeared, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"God is jealous of talented people!" Meng Yan sighed to the sky.

"Everyone, the situation is not yet hopeless. Don't be pessimistic. The best way is to actively find a solution."

"Solve? That's difficult!" sighed the leader of Fengxie Peak.

"This group of despicable villains cannot bear to see our Jianmen rise, and they have been slandering Junior Brother Gu in the outside world, saying that he committed all kinds of evil in Xuantian Secret Realm, killing male cultivators and insulting female cultivators. The rumors are getting more and more intense, and now the entire Qingmu Region is filled with anti-Gu sentiment.

Countless victims came forward to tell their stories and cried loudly in public. Some sects even lost all their dignity and sent their own saints to personally recount the details of the abuse they suffered at the hands of Junior Brother Gu. The Hell Gate took this opportunity to unite all major forces and spread the word that the Sword Gate should hand over Junior Brother Gu and not shelter such an evil person, otherwise they would destroy the Sword Gate.

They are so vicious, using their great power to oppress Jianmen and force us to submit. If Jianmen still has the strength it had before, we would not be afraid, but now...

Alas, Junior Brother Gu offended too many people outside. "

Lin Miaoke couldn't listen any longer: "What do you mean? How can you blame Junior Brother Gu? Junior Brother Gu may have a bad temper, but he is definitely not a bad person. It's obvious that those things were spread by the Hell Gate."

"Junior Sister Lin is right." Dugu Wei said, "This matter really cannot be blamed on Junior Brother Gu. Even if he really did those things, they were not the fuse of this incident. The major forces are nominally upholding justice and seeking fairness, but in fact they are afraid of Junior Brother Gu's talent and the rise of Jianmen.

Even if Junior Brother Gu is a gentleman, it's too easy for him to throw dirty water on others because he has a mouth. "

Lin Miaoke raised her eyebrows: "Master, what do you mean by this? What do you mean even if Junior Brother Gu is a gentleman?

He is!

When I was in trouble, he risked his life to save me. With such a character, isn't he considered a gentleman?"

The corners of the mouths of the leaders twitched when they heard this, and they thought to themselves that women are indeed emotional animals. It has only been a short time, but she has already forgotten what Gu Qingfeng said when he questioned her.

Gentleman? Are there any gentlemen who want to ride the most beautiful woman every day?

Dugu Wei was a little confused and quickly explained: "Junior Sister Lin, that's not what I meant. Let's discuss how to deal with this crisis first.

First of all, the major forces headed by the Hell Gate demanded that Junior Brother Gu be handed over in order to turn hostility into friendship.

Of course, there is no way that Junior Brother Gu would be handed over. This is not only because Junior Brother Gu is the son of the Emperor of Jianmen, but even if he is just an ordinary disciple, as long as he worships under the name of Jianmen, he will be protected by Jianmen.

If Jianmen can't even protect its disciples, how will the world view Jianmen? How can Jianmen survive?"

"Master, there are no outsiders here. Please stop saying words that try to deceive our disciples and get straight to the point." A chief monk said impatiently.

Dugu Wei’s face froze.

This is the sequelae of being the leader, he is used to speaking empty words.

In fact, everyone knows that if it were an ordinary disciple, Jianmen would have been handed over long ago, but Gu Qingfeng is not an ordinary disciple, but the future Heavenly Emperor!

"Ahem..." Dugu Wei coughed tactically, then said seriously: "In this crisis, a fierce battle is inevitable. Although the major sects are powerful, it will take them some time to gather together and then set out to Jianmen. This period of time will be at least three months.

Therefore, Jianmen must prepare for war with all its strength in these three months!

There are three things that need to be done as a matter of urgency.

First, after Junior Brother Gu comes out of retreat, immediately summon all the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters to practice the Seven Swords Immortal Slaying Formation. Among the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters, except for Junior Brother Gu whose cultivation has not reached the Heavenly Man Realm, the rest are all Heavenly Man Realm powerhouses, and some of them have even survived a calamity.

The combined power of their seven swords should be comparable to that of a five-tribulation celestial being.

Second, after Junior Brother Gu comes out of retreat, all the four-tribulation celestial beings in Jianmen should stop suppressing their cultivation and focus on overcoming the tribulation. With Junior Brother Gu's help, it shouldn't be a problem to overcome the inner demon tribulation. Although this may cost Junior Brother Gu a considerable price, it is a matter of life and death, so he can't care too much. Afterwards, I will give him some more natural and precious materials to strengthen his foundation.

Third, after Junior Brother Gu comes out of seclusion, I will try to let him touch the Demon Emperor Sword. Although the hope is slim, as long as he can drive the Demon Emperor Sword, the crisis will be over.

Do you have anything else to add? Feel free to speak up.”

The leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. Each of these three matters was related to Gu Qingfeng, and they all had to wait for Gu Qingfeng to come out of seclusion.

At this time, a chief monk suddenly said: "I don't have anything to add, I just want to ask, when will Gu Qingfeng come out of retreat?"

Dugu Wei's face fell. He was so focused on thinking about how to break the impasse that he forgot that the real master was still in seclusion.

It seems that Junior Brother Gu can't do anything unless he comes out of seclusion.

So when will Junior Brother Gu come out of seclusion?
