"This, senior..." Gu Da's face was full of bitterness, and he didn't know how to speak.
Although he did not grow up in the spiritual practice world, he extended his understanding to others based on his own experience.
Who doesn't understand the principles of "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze" and "When I am old and young, my enemies will laugh at me as I am buried in the yellow earth"?
He himself had never considered letting others off the hook when dealing with weaker opponents.
Ji Fengyao glanced sideways at Gu Da, who was pressed against the wall, sweating profusely. Her gaze lingered for two seconds on a strange pattern on his right sleeve.
Her fair and delicate face still wore a bright, harmless smile. Her gaze and tone were so nonchalant, as if dealing with such matters was nothing more than a trivial daily affair for her: "Will you confess yourself, or will I search your soul? Let me make this clear from the start, we bandits don't have that kind of gentle and meticulous skill."
Soul search! She can actually perform soul search!
My God, what kind of heaven-defying being did he provoke!
Those who dare to use soul-searching techniques on others are said to be at least at the Golden Core stage in the cultivation world.
In this world, a Golden Core cultivator can't possibly destroy his ancient family;
Sweeping across the entire world would be an easy feat!
Gu Da was completely terrified by Ji Fengyao, and his heart was filled with remorse:
If he had known, he should have just let these people in and robbed them. Why did he have to try to do that and think about killing the Ninth Prince?
These ordinary people's struggle for power and profit have absolutely nothing to do with his family!
"Whatever you wish to know, senior, I will answer without reservation," Gu Da's voice trembled like a leaf.
"What do you think I'm interested in knowing?" Ji Fengyao ruthlessly shattered Gu Da's last stand: "Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. Your Gu family is already surrounded by my lord's men."
I'm giving you one last chance. Fight for your life or face annihilation. The choice is yours. One, two…”
Because he himself was a cruel person, Gu Da had no doubt that Ji Fengyao would keep her word, so he quickly agreed and begged for mercy, saying repeatedly, "I'll talk, I'll talk, please don't be angry, senior..."
Through Gu Da's confession, Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye learned that:
It turns out that the ancient family, a native cultivation family that has survived in this world, was a giant that guided the cultivators of this world tens of millions of years ago.
However, after the world was "abandoned by the gods," one branch of the Gu family, for some reason, did not evacuate with the main force but chose to stay.
After that, the spiritual energy in this world gradually declined and became scarce, and the cultivation environment became worse and worse.
The remaining branch of the Gu family has gradually lost its cultural heritage through generations of division and relocation.
As things have developed to this point, aside from knowing their ancestral cultivation methods;
Each generation of the Gu family produces a few people who successfully guide Qi into their bodies and become cultivators; the rest have faded into obscurity.
But it was precisely these few who successfully became cultivators who ensured that the Gu family would not be swallowed up by the secular world.
They have always presented themselves as a reclusive family of cultivators, never getting too deeply involved in worldly disputes.
The reason they secretly allied themselves with the fourth prince, who had no chance of rising to power, rather than the other princes, was precisely because of this consideration.
This attempt to kill the Ninth Prince was merely a way to do someone a favor.
In any case, the Fourth Prince will not change the course of the world or ascend the throne of the Great Zhao Dynasty because of the Ninth Prince's death.
