267: Chapter 267 Clash of the Younger Generation

"Those fellows all want to recruit those two Rank 8 Alchemists and Artifact Refiners."

Master Yun Hua remarked casually after walking out of the chamber of commerce.

This was no secret; who wouldn't want to recruit two such powerful auxiliary cultivators?

"That depends on whether they are willing or not,"

Yan Nian said.

"If they were willing, they wouldn't be hiding like this,"

Master Yun Hua said.

In her view, those people were simply performing a futile effort.

The group returned to the inn.

"We visit the Gu Family tomorrow,"

Master Yun Hua said.

This was a consensus they had already reached; they weren't going to give them any more so-called time.

On the other side, the people from various major powers who had waited for a long time left the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce after failing to spot Lin Ming despite their persistent stakeout.

However, they also arranged for people to keep watch at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, believing that the person would surely appear.

After all, his money was still stored in the two chambers of commerce; he would show up sooner or later.

The Next Day

The group walked out of the inn, but as they did, a carriage was already waiting in front of them.

"By order of the Old Ancestor, I am here to take you all to the Gu Family."

The driver spoke to the four with a look of respect.

Seeing this, Master Yun Hua took the lead and boarded the carriage, with Lin Ming and the others following closely behind.

The carriage then drove toward the Gu Family estate.

The Gu Family was located in the southern part of Tianyun City, occupying a vast area of land as their residence.

At this moment, the Gu Family was extremely lively.

The Nirvana Ancestors of the six top Sects—Ximo Mountain, Canghai Sword Pavilion, Yongzhen Sect, Baijue Mountain, Shangji Sect, and Yuanxu Mountain—had all gathered at the Gu Family.

This made the entire Gu Family tense, even though they had two Nirvana Ancestors overseeing them.

Facing six top Sects coming to their door at once, they were still a bit flustered.

They didn't know why these six Sects had chosen to visit the Gu Family at the same time.

"Everyone, please follow me."

As soon as the four stepped off the carriage, a Gu Family servant approached them tremblingly to lead the way.

After a short while, they arrived at a main hall, where people from several Sects had already arrived.

"Yun Hua, the last time we met, you were only at the Middle Stage of the Paramita Realm. I didn't expect you to Breakthrough to Nirvana so quickly."

A kind-looking old lady greeted Master Yun Hua.

"Granny Qiansi, I didn't expect the person from Baijue Mountain to be you."

Upon seeing the old woman, Master Yun Hua greeted her with a touch of respect.

"Come and meet her; this is Granny Qiansi of Baijue Mountain."

Master Yun Hua called her Disciples over to greet Granny Qiansi.

"Greetings, Granny Qiansi."

Lin Ming and the others also addressed Granny Qiansi.

A cultivator of the Fourth Heaven of Nirvana.

However, a strong aura of death emanated from her body; it was likely she didn't have much time left.

"Good children, all of you."

Granny Qiansi smiled slightly and said.

With a wave of her hand, three sets of clothes appeared before her. With another flick, the three sets of clothes flew toward the three individuals, landing in front of them.

"This old woman doesn't have many good things. These garments, woven from the silk of the Spirit Bitter Silkworm, are for you."

Granny Qiansi said.

"Thank you, Granny Qiansi."

Lin Ming was the first to take the clothes; upon touching them, he felt an extremely smooth sensation.

The other two did not decline either and accepted the garments.

People from other Sects also arrived at the hall one after another.

As soon as the people from the Yongzhen Sect stepped inside, Elder Mu Shan rushed over to Master Yun Hua.

"Why are you wearing a mask? Are you afraid to show your face?"

Elder Mu Shan teased the masked Master Yun Hua.

"It reduces unnecessary trouble,"

Master Yun Hua replied.

"How boring,"

Elder Mu Shan shook her head.

Master Yun Hua was just as dull as she had been years ago.

In this regard, she wasn't even as good as her Disciple.

"Little Lin Ming, long time no see. Have you missed me?"

Elder Mu Shan's gaze then fell upon Lin Ming as she spoke proactively.

"No,"

Lin Ming shook his head decisively.

"You child, you really are heartless,"

Elder Mu Shan said, feigning sadness.

"Then go ahead and be sad,"

Master Yun Hua interjected directly from the side, giving her no chance to wallow in her fake sorrow.

The people from the six major Sects had finally all arrived.

However, that True Monarch of the Gu Family had yet to appear at this moment.

"Fellow Daoists, your presence brings great honor to our humble Gu residence."

Ancestor Li Haocang walked over with a smile.

His gaze swept over everyone, lingering only on Master Yun Hua for a few extra seconds.

"Li Haocang, enough nonsense. Have the Gu Family Head come out,"

Wu Chong said coldly.

"Revered Master will naturally meet with everyone today,"

Ancestor Li Haocang nodded in response.

"But before that, I must ask everyone to wait for a short while."

Ancestor Li Haocang said.

"While we wait, why don't we play a little game? I wonder what you all think?"

Ancestor Li Haocang suggested.

"What game?"

The white-haired child asked in response.

He wanted to see exactly what the Gu Family was plotting.

"The younger generation of our Gu Family would like to seek guidance from the younger generation of the various Sects regarding their strength,"

Ancestor Li Haocang said.

"Since these youngsters of the Gu Family want to seek guidance, we should naturally give them this opportunity,"

Gao Chi said immediately upon hearing this.

They want to fight?

Then we'll play along.

"My Baijue Mountain will not participate; no Disciples of the younger generation have come along,"

Granny Qiansi shook her head.

In the Qingxuan Realm, for cultivators of the younger generation, the age is generally set within fifty years.

The youngest person traveling with Baijue Mountain this time was already over a hundred years old, making them unsuitable for a clash with the Gu Family's younger generation.

"Fine,"

Master Yun Hua seemed to have thought of something and subsequently agreed to this exchange.

The remaining Sects didn't have any major objections either, and all agreed to this clash of the younger generation.

At this, Lin Ming understood once again; nine times out of ten, his Revered Master would have him go up to face the so-called younger generation of the Gu Family.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Ancestor Li Haocang faced the crowd with a smile from beginning to end.

He led everyone to the Gu Family's Martial Arts Arena.

At this moment, a group of people had already gathered there, waiting for Lin Ming and the others to arrive.

Among them, several gazes fell upon Lin Ming and his group.

Something called Battle Intent burned within them as they faced Lin Ming and the others.

"These are some of the Disciples from our Gu Family's younger generation."

Ancestor Li Haocang pointed at these people and gave a brief mention.

"If we're going to fight, then fight. Stop with the nonsense,"

Wu Chong said.

Since both sides had decided to fight, there was no need for such trouble; just start the battle.
