"As for where he is now..."
Gu Yuan lowered his head so that the Third Master wouldn't see his facial expression.
"As for where he is now, I don't know either, because he disappeared after the battle."
"Disappeared?"
The Third Master murmured, with some undisguised disappointment in his eyes.
"Third Master, what is the reason for you asking this?"
Regarding the incident with Gu Shang, since the incident caused such a huge commotion at the time, there was no need for Gu Yuan to hide anything. However, there were some details that Gu Yuan did not want to reveal from the bottom of his heart.
Because he always believed that Gu Shang was still alive in this world, he didn't want anyone with ulterior motives to get any news about Gu Shang.
"Then...Gu Yuan, can you tell me who was the person you fought against back then? Could he also be a powerful Spirit Emperor?" asked the Third Master.
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's not just the Spirit Emperor. The person coming is from the Central Region. I wonder if Third Master has ever heard of the Central Region?"
"Of course I've heard of it. It's the most prosperous place on the continent. I heard that there are thousands of races living there. It's a real holy land for cultivation." The Third Master nodded and replied.
"That's right, my friend's opponent is from the Central Region, and that person's strength is... a Spirit Lord!"
The Third Master's eyes widened, and he asked in shock, "What did you say?"
"That person has the strength of a Spirit Lord!"
"Fuck!"
A curse word burst out of the Third Master's mouth, and Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Damn it, a Spiritual Lord! He's actually a Spiritual Lord! I was wondering why the pressure that day was so terrifying, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful and incredible person. It's so terrifying! Fortunately, I didn't get too close out of curiosity that day, otherwise, I might have died!"
Speaking of this, the Third Master looked relieved.
"Then why did they fight? Because of the treasure? Or something else?" asked the Third Master.
Gu Yuan shook his head. "I really don't know about that. Anyway, they had a big fight. I was delayed by something at the time and wasn't there, so I don't know what exactly happened between them. If I want to know the truth, I'm afraid I'll have to ask my friend herself."
The Third Master rolled his eyes at Gu Yuan and said, "What a joke! I'm free and have nothing to do, right? Why am I looking for a Spiritual Emperor? Sigh!"
"Third Master, I wonder what exactly you are asking this about?" Gu Yuan asked again.
"Oh, actually, it's nothing. I just heard that there is a famous powerful person in the Beast Taming City. I am very curious, and mainly want to try my luck. What if I am noticed by a powerful person and he wants to accept me as his disciple? Wouldn't I be very happy then? If not, I can ask him to teach me something, and then I can easily break through to the Spirit King!" said the Third Master without blushing.
"Just...that's it?" Gu Yuan asked with his eyes wide open.
The Third Master flicked his hair and asked, "What else?"
The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched wildly. He originally thought that there was some ulterior motive, but he didn't expect it to be because of this?
Are you kidding me? You're such an old man, how could anyone like you? That's really weird!
Although he had not been with Gu Shang for a long time, Gu Yuan was quite familiar with her character. That woman was like a thousand-year-old piece of ice, so cold that even he did not dare to speak casually in front of her.
As for accepting a disciple? Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Third Master, you old man really do have wishful thinking. Fortunately, I didn't find him back then. Otherwise, if he had come to me, wouldn't he have been slapped to death? If not to death, he would have been seriously injured!
"Hey, your mouth is stretched all the way behind your ears. Are you laughing at me?" The Third Master knocked on the table and asked.
"ah?"
Gu Yuan finally reacted, hurriedly sat up straight, and put away the smile on his face.
"Boy, are you laughing at me?" The Third Master looked at Gu Yuan viciously.
Gu Yuan hurriedly shook his head, pretending to be aggrieved, and said, "Third Master, what are you talking about? How dare this junior?"
"Humph! Brat, just be brave!"
At this point, the Third Master was obviously a little disappointed. He sighed and said, "Alas, I thought I could get some useful information from you, but I didn't expect that the information is no different from the information from other people. It seems that I was overthinking it, or I was just too optimistic!"
Gu Yuan looked at the Third Master and said, "Third Master, do you want to use that person's power to break through?"
It has to be said that Gu Yuan's words directly exposed the Third Master's inner thoughts.
As expected, the Third Master nodded and said, "Yes, because I have been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Lord for many years. Although the two old guys in my family have broken through to the Spirit King and have some experience, their help to me is still very limited. After all, the difference in our realms is not that big. But if it is a Spirit Venerable or above, it will be different. After all, the strong people at that level can bring different insights to people of our realm with just a few words! What a pity, I think I don't have a chance!"
"Third Master, there is actually still a chance." Gu Yuan suddenly said.
"Alas, I know my own body well. I'm getting older, and in many ways, I'm clearly not as good as I was when I was younger. My golden age of breakthroughs is over!"
The Third Master shook his head, his eyes revealing an unknown emotion. "If it were in that magical place called the Central Region, there would probably be Spirit Kings everywhere. But it's different here. A Spirit King is invincible. As long as a family has a Spirit King, it will be a success, and the whole family will rise to the top. It can directly join the level of a first-class family. This is the reality. And my Blood Merchant Guild has stood firm in this Giant Stone City for so many years, relying on a family with two Spirit Kings! Without the existence of the eldest and second brothers, my Blood Merchant Guild would not have survived for so long."
Gu Yuan nodded with feeling and said, "Yes, although the Spirit King is not as strong as the Spirit Lords and Spirit Emperors, to me, he is like a mountain! The existence of the Spirit King is to me like the existence of the Spirit Emperor to the Spirit King."
"Let's not talk about this! I suddenly thought of a question. You killed a guy from the Black Ghost Sect when you came here. How are you now? Did the Black Ghost Sect cause you any trouble?" The Third Master suddenly asked.
"There have been two assassination attempts before, but there seems to be no news recently." Gu Yuan replied.
"Oh? This Black Ghost Sect is a little strange. I don't think they are the kind of people who would suffer any loss. You'd better be careful. As I said, you might as well just live with me. With me here, not even the Black Ghost Sect can do anything to you. And sometimes I can even give you some pointers. After all, I'm at the peak of the Spirit Master level, so I can still give you some guidance."
