Chapter 570: Chapter 137: The New S-Class

"The sight within the tomb just now... it should be hard for some to overlook."

The Tomb Guardian said softly, "Given my character, I’m too lazy to explain."

This was not something worth explaining after all.

Gu Lushen had entered Qingzhong alone to provoke.

She started the formation and even added color to it.

The surging of these Extraordinary Essences, the spectacle they created, was precisely the scene of ’daggers drawn’... What the people outside thought, that was their concern.

However, the current ’Divination Skill’ continued to signal the omen of ’catastrophes.’

The Tomb Guardian felt a premonition that a storm was looming over Changye.

At this critical juncture, it was better to avoid stirring up trouble.

"Don’t worry."

Gu Shen nodded and said, "If Gu Lushen wishes to create trouble, I will make him regret it."

Qianye narrowed her eyes.

She slowly exhaled a breath of repressed gloomy air.

No one knew that under that mask, her expression held seven parts confusion and three parts worry.

She wanted to use Divination, to see what that imminent ’ill omen’ actually was.

Yet, she could neither touch nor see it clearly.

What kind of future was it that even the golden threads of divination could not predict?

...

...

The tranquility on the hilltop did not last long.

"Brother Gu!"

"Brother Gu!"

Outside the mist of Qing Tomb Inner Mausoleum, someone was calling from afar.

The voice was filled with urgency.

A bulky and portly figure hurriedly jogged, moving fast towards the direction of the inner mausoleum’s mist. He repeatedly looked up at the oppressive dark clouds above Qingzhong, following the rules of Qingzhong, he stopped at the foot of the small hill.

Without the Tomb Guardian’s permission,

no one could truly step into the inner mausoleum.

Luo Yu was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, he slightly bowed and rested, his iron hand on his knee.

"Brother Luo."

From within the mist, a figure slowly emerged.

Gu Shen looked at Luo Yu, whose head was drenched in sweat, and probably understood a thing or two.

The two factions of the Gu family, as incompatible as fire and water.

The movements of Gu Lushen could not escape the old man’s magical eyes.

His arrival at Qingzhong, along with such a significant spectacle, probably meant that the old faction was already in turmoil, everyone wanting to understand exactly what had happened.

"Brother Gu... Is everything all right inside the inner mausoleum?"

Luo Yu, supporting himself with his hands on his knees, seeing Gu Shen walk out from behind the hill, heaved a great sigh of relief.

His voice was somewhat tense.

It could be heard that this was a very tactful way of asking.

The roaring of that grand formation just now, the [Earth Worms] outside the cemetery heard it clearly, and the hundreds of pillars of light shooting into the sky were obvious even without using [Wind Eye]; for any Transcendent stationed near Qingzhong who wasn’t blind, this was a phenomenon that even the concealing grand formation could not hide!

Had Gu Lushen fought with Master Qianye?

Luo Yu knew that these two had a grudge from the past... Eight years ago, Gu Lushen attacked Qingzhong, and if successful, the Gu family would probably only have one faction left by now, but unfortunately, Gu Lushen and his Transcendents were all trapped by the grand formation, and the entire battle plan collapsed.

Eight years had passed.

Gu Lushen’s strength had grown unfathomably deeper.

The old man was already on the decline, although Transcendents accumulate deeper Extraordinary Essence as they age, their spiritual power and physical strength will decline... For Gu Qilin, he was past the peak of his combat strength, and with each passing year, the strength he could exert decreased a little.

This was also why the old faction tended to compromise more over the years.

Gu Qilin needed to wait for the "successor" to mature.

He was old, but Gu Nanfeng was still young.

"Age fears the vigor of youth," compared to Gu Lushen, Gu Nanfeng was the younger "vigor"!

"It’s alright."

Gu Shen said, "Just now... it almost came to blows, but it didn’t."

Upon receiving this answer, Fatty Luo took a long breath of relief.

He wiped his forehead vigorously, muttering, "I was almost scared into a heart attack..."

If these two had fought, it could essentially declare that the second civil conflict within the Gu family had fully erupted!

Gu Shen smiled.

He glanced back at the hilltop he had come from.

There, atop the small hill shrouded in mist, it was now empty, devoid of figures.

Master Qianye, who had been standing and gazing from afar earlier, had disappeared from the summit.

She had gone back.

Along with the tranquility in the core of the ancient tree formation within Four Seasons Wilderness, the surging Extraordinary Essences above and the pressing leaden clouds also gradually dissipated... The grand formation of Qingzhong resumed its smooth operation.

Having resolved one matter, Luo Yu felt relieved, and then he gravely said, "Right... Brother Gu, there’s another thing, have you heard?"

"Zhu Wang has taken on a disciple!"

Gu Shen raised an eyebrow.

Zhu Wang taking on a disciple shouldn’t be considered unusual.

Inside Judgement Institute, each Judge would take on quite a few disciples... and Zhu Wang, who always regarded Zhou Jiren as a formidable rival, was known for gathering many disciples, though he certainly distinguished among them.

It is said that each year, Zhu Wang takes on at least one disciple.

Some truly have unique "qualities" that he values, leading them to be taken under his wing to undergo Cultivation within Snow Forbidden City.

Others, however, serve merely as "links to benefits."

Zhu Wang has been comfortably settled in the secondary position at Judgement Institute for many years because of his connections, maintaining good relations with the high-level individuals of the five major families and the three major institutes... Gathering many disciples is one way to maintain these relationships.

Transcendents lacking in ability, seeking a capable teacher for guidance.
