Previously, Li Zongjiu had completely annihilated the Gu Family in the Sacred Flame Royal City.
He had also given the Heavenly Hell Python a good meal.
The terrifying sound that had been heard from the Gu Family that day still caused the people nearby to tremble.
After that, there was no one left in the Gu Family.
Of course, most of the Gu Family's businesses had not gone bankrupt.
After the Gu Family in the Jin Region learned of the situation, they immediately sent people over to stabilize the businesses in the Sacred Flame Royal City.
Although a group of people had died, the Gu Family in the Jin Region did not suffer too much loss. It could even be said that Gu Yu and his group had been placed here as hostages.
If anything happened, they would naturally be the first to be sacrificed.
Therefore, they had already made preparations for such a situation.
Among the new batch of people, there were only a total of five people, and they easily took over the situation here. Li Zongjiu was so arrogant and did not put the Gu family in his eyes because he had the support of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion behind him.
Before they were fully prepared, the Gu Family was not prepared to deal with Li Zongjiu in such a hurry.
After all, dealing with Li Zongjiu would require them to pay a huge price. How could the many years of preparation be destroyed in a single day?
However, the Inheritance Flame that had fallen into Li Zongjiu's hands had to be taken back. This Inheritance Flame was just a small flame, but it had already made the Ancient One an alchemy genius in the entire Sacred Flame Royal City.
The Inheritance Flame existed in the Gu Family's territory in the Jin Region. Such a powerful object was enough to show the hidden strength of the Gu Family.
How could a family that could make the Sacred Flame Royal City so wary be so simple?
Even now, if the Shengyan dynasty wanted to do anything in the Jin Region, they would have to look at the Gu Family's face. If the Gu Family secretly caused trouble for them, they would not be able to find any traces. When the time came, they would be killed immediately.
The outcome would be very tragic.
Therefore, the officials sent by the Shengyan dynasty to the Jin Province had a hard time. However, the influence of the Gu family had been shrinking bit by bit. Several powerful families had appeared in the Jin Province.
It was obvious that the royal family of the Shengyan dynasty was behind them.
These families were specially supported to deal with the Gu family.
At such a critical juncture, of course, he had to be more cautious.
The person in charge of the Gu Clan in the Holy Flame Royal City was an elder of the Gu Clan.
When he was young, he served in the Gu family's Law Enforcement Hall.
Later on, he retired from the Law Enforcement Hall and entered the Senate Hall. When this old man took up his post, he sternly reorganized the Gu Family's style!
He had cleaned up many of the cowardly pests in the Gu Clan, sweeping them out one by one.
This person's name was Gu Sha!
At this moment, the other four main members of the Gu Family were also tidying up the Gu Family's businesses. What needed to be taken care of was taken care of, and what needed to be abandoned was abandoned.
Such a huge business of the Gu family was actually settled by a mere five people.
In front of Gu Sha sat two people.
A middle-aged man sat on Gu Sha's left.
This middle-aged man was called Gu Yao.
He was Gu Yu's cousin.
At the same time, he was also an elder of the Gu Family. Being sent out had already proven his strength. Gu Yao looked at the two people sitting opposite him.
Why did Elder Gu Sha have to be so careful when receiving these two people?
Gu Yao was puzzled, but he did not voice it out.
After all, he could not possibly question the elder's mistakes.
Therefore, Gu Yao put down this thought in his heart.
He was also sizing up the two people in front of him.
"I didn't expect the Gu Family, one of the four big families in the Divination Flame Empire, to be so low-key."
Zang Ye Shang said.
Gu Yao was shocked by his words.
He actually dared to mention the Divination Flame Empire.
He even knew that the Gu Family was one of the four big families, which meant that he knew about the glory days of the Gu Family.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sha's stern face relaxed slightly.
"In the blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed. Back then, who dared to stand in the way of the Gu Family?
Who dared to touch us? "
Gu Sha leaned on the back of the chair, as if he was reminiscing about the glory days of the Gu Family. His eyes were filled with melancholy.
"Back then, the Zang Family was as famous as the Gu Family. Why hasn't there been any news recently? I heard that you secretly went to the Heiqu Dynasty to be assassins?"
Gu Sha looked at the two people in front of him and said.
Back then, the family relied on their own abilities to survive until now. If they did not have any abilities, how could they survive until now?
Therefore, the two people from the Zang Family in front of him only looked weak on the outside. In fact, Gu Sha did not dare to underestimate their abilities.
"I'm just trying to make a living. I'm tired of the disputes in the Underworld, but I can't lose my ancestral skills."
Zang Ye Shang said.
"However, if you want to go against Li Zongjiu in the Shengyan Dynasty, I advise you to give up."
Gu Sha said in a deep voice.
He stared at the two people in front of him.
Only then did Gu Yao understand that the two people in front of him were from the Zang Family. The strongest assassin family in a thousand years. Now that they had fallen to such a state, why didn't they reappear in the Underworld? It was because they did not have the confidence to reach the peak.
Could it be that you want the former number one in the world to reappear in the Underworld and obediently become number two?
People who cared about their reputation would not do that. Therefore, with the current situation, it was better for them to hide from the world and not come out.
Otherwise, there was an extremely rare situation, which was that they were invincible in the world. Therefore, they chose to hide. Since there were no opponents, there was no pressure. What was the point of staying in the Underworld?
After hearing the origin of the Zang Family's assassins, they actually wanted to go against Li Zongjiu.
How could the Gu Family not want to go against Li Zongjiu too?
However, Li Zongjiu's strength was too strong. If the Gu Family really wanted to go against him, they would really need the help of elders. At least three or four of them would be needed.
The main reason was that if they went against Li Zongjiu, the Heavenly Pill Pavilion would definitely not let it go.
Then, the matter would not be so easy to solve. There was no need to mess up the Gu Family's plans for a single Li Zongjiu.
That was why the Gu Family had not made a move yet and did not provoke Li Zongjiu for the time being.
Fortunately, Li Zongjiu was a man of principle. After killing a wave of people, as long as they did not act rashly, he would not continue to attack them. However, if the Gu Family tried to provoke Li Zongjiu again, the situation might change.
"Hehe, the Zang Family might not be active in the Underworld, but we've never given up on our old business. How could we, the Gu Family, care about a mere Li Zongjiu?"
Zang Ye Shang instantly laughed loudly.
It seemed like these people from the Gu Clan had been hiding for a long time. They were actually scared to this extent. Zang Ye Shang and the others were not afraid at all. Their spirit was not weak at all. Not to mention Li Zongjiu, if they were given enough money.
If they had enough money, they would even take the head of the Emperor of the Shengyan dynasty.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had to be able to pay the price!
"But we're new here, and we're not familiar with the place. We'll need the help of some friends."
Zang Ye Shang's attitude changed. He shamelessly asked the Gu Family to provide him with a place to hide. After all, Li Zongjiu had eyes and ears all over the city. If he wanted to quietly come up with an assassination plan, he would need someone to cover him.
He did not need to cover other places, but this time, he had exposed his identity. Someone must have leaked the news beforehand.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have ended up in such an awkward situation.
For Zang Ye Shang, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Ahem!"
When Gu Yao heard Zang Ye Shang spouting nonsense, he thought that he was very capable, but in the end, he still had to ask for the Gu Family's help.
"Hehe, if you can get rid of Li Zongjiu, then I'll be happy for a while. But you can't stay here. I'll have someone send you out of the city. Tomorrow, go to Western Village Town and disguise yourselves. Then, follow the merchant group back to the city."
The Gu Family still had the power to send someone out of the city secretly.
When the people from Thousand Chances Workshop saw Zang Ye Shang and Gu Yao enter the Gu Family, they did not come out.
