Night had fallen, but Gu Qi, who had just recovered from his illness, didn't have the slightest bit of sleepiness as he strolled around alone. The internal scenery of the Chen Clan was very complete. There were trees and ponds; it was very soothing to look at.

At this moment, Gu Qi was sitting on a pavilion, and beside him was a lotus river. Although there were no lotus flowers blooming on it, the lotus leaves were spread open everywhere, and the crystalline droplets of water reflected the soft moonlight on the lotus leaves, making one's heart tremble.

"Aiya, I almost forgot about the mastiff!" Gu Qi looked at the lotus leaf and suddenly thought of the puppy. He patted his head and quickly walked out of the city.

Previously, he told the little mutt to stay in the bushes to wait for him as he didn't want to be suspected of being a dog. Because of the severe injury, he thought of the little mutt and felt slightly anxious.

"I wonder if he has left yet." Very quickly, under the surprised gaze of the Chen family guard, Gu Qi arrived at the shrubbery outside South City. However, by the time he arrived, the little mutt was already gone.

"Have they left?" Gu Qi looked at the shrubs that were currently devoid of any shadow, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Although the mastiff was cold and aloof, it was good that it had accompanied him through some difficult days.

Just as Gu Zhi was in a daze, a familiar voice entered his ears.

Gu Qi turned around in surprise to discover that the little mutt was currently nibbling on the flesh of an unknown magical beast.

Judging from its appearance, it must have gone looking for food because it was hungry.

"I'm sorry, I came late." Gu Qi rubbed the mastiff's head guiltily, and his eyes were filled with guilt.

"You know it too!" The little mutt barked a few times as if it was complaining. Then, it jumped onto the top of Gu Qi's head and placed the piece of meat in its mouth directly on top of Gu Qi's head.

On that piece of meat, there was still the fresh blood of a corpse.

For a time, Gu Qi felt as if his head had been broken, bleeding. Looking at this, Gu Qi felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't say anything. He brought the little mutt back to his room under the strange gaze of the Chen family guards.

"You stay here by yourself. I'll go wash my hair." Gu Quan spoke in magical beast language before lowering his head, trying his best to prevent the magical beast's blood from flowing down his neck. Otherwise, he would have to take a bath.

The mastiff didn't even look at Gu Qi as it continued to nibble on the half-eaten beast meat with great relish.

Gu Qi helplessly glanced at the Tibetan Mastiff, which was still as cold as ever. He shook his head, then poured himself some water to wash off the blood on his head.

Just like that, an entire night passed.

The next morning, Chen Qingluan arrived at Gu Qi's side, causing Gu Qi to look at her in surprise. Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong, Blue Luan?"

"Someone from the Wu Clan has arrived. Elder sister wants you to come over!" At this moment, Chen Qingluan's expression was somewhat anxious. She looked at Gu Qi and hurriedly said.

"Wu Clan?" Gu Qi thought about Wu Yuntian, then his expression turned grim.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Gu Qi smiled, but in his heart he was pondering something.

"Eh, Gu Qi, when did you raise a puppy? Wow, this puppy is so cute." Just as Gu Qi was still thinking, the mastiff came out, yawning. Chen Qingluan's eyes lit up as she looked at the mastiff before picking it up from the ground.

The mastiff's face was filled with unwillingness. It struggled to break free and returned to Gu Qi's room.

"Eh, this is a stray dog I picked up outside …" Gu Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and casually made up an excuse. He couldn't possibly tell Chen Qingluan that the mastiff was a magical beast, right?

"What great strength! This little dog …" Chen Qingluan looked at the Tibetan Mastiff that had struggled free and ran into Gu Qi's room. There was a trace of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Let's go see your sister." Gu Qi quickly diverted Chen Qingluan's attention and walked toward the Chen family meeting hall with Chen Qingluan.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall had become extremely heavy.

There were only a few dozen people in the hall. Five of them were from the Chen family, four were from the elders, and one was Chen Fengjie. The other five were from the five elders of the Wu family.

"Patriarch Chen, I heard that your annual Sacrificial Assembly is about to begin. I wonder if you would allow our Wu Clan's younger generation to come over and observe?" It was obvious that one of the Elders of the leader among the group of warriors started to talk, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the hall.

"Great Elder, isn't your words a little too presumptuous? What does our Chen Family's Sacrifice Assembly have to do with your Wu Family? Could it be that your Wu Clan really thinks that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with our Chen Clan? " When Chen Fengyu heard the arrogant words of the Martial Ancestor, her face became somewhat gloomy. She did not say anything, but the Second Elder beside her could not bear it any longer and opened his mouth to refute her.

"It's merely a junior coming to observe. Is the Chen Clan that petty?" The Wu Ling County's Great Elder sneered. Their Wu family had always been somewhat unfriendly towards the Chen family. Gu Qi had also told Chen Qingluan about Wu Yuntian, so Chen Fengjie naturally knew about it.

Therefore, the Elders were always resentful towards traitors like the Wu Clan. However, they had not found enough evidence yet, so it was not convenient for them to fight to the death.

"Humph!" The Chen family's Second Elder heard Wu Ling's sneer and was about to continue speaking, but was stopped by Chen Fengji.

At that moment, the Wu Clan's arrogance grew even more.

Chen Fengzhu frowned. She was not sure if the martial family had a powerful force backing them, so she did not dare to make a move against them. Otherwise, there would be no martial family left in Blackrock City.

At this moment, the doors to the meeting hall slowly opened.

"Since you, the Wu Clan, are so generous, I wonder if you would allow my Chen Clan's younger generation to tour around?" Gu Qi slowly walked in. Beside him, Chen Qingluan gracefully moved with light steps. She followed Gu Qi to Chen Fengyu's side, but Gu Qi's gaze fell upon Wu Ling, meeting his gaze.

"Hmph, who are you? Do you think you have the right to speak here? Patriarch Chen, is this how you discipline your disciples? " Wu Ling's face was gloomy. He snorted coldly.

"He's not a disciple of our Chen family, he's an elder!" Chen Fengjiao said with a smile.

"You old fellow, I'm an elder of the Chen family, I have no right to speak in the Chen family. Where did you get the face to stand here?" How did your parents discipline you? " Gu Qi's face stiffened. When he heard Chen Fengyu's words, he immediately reacted and sneered at Wu Ling.

Wu Ling's face was ashen when he heard Gu Qi's insulting words. He fiercely glared at Gu Qi, but was unable to say anything for a moment. His chest rose and fell continuously; he was obviously angry.

"What are you staring at?" Gu Qi's eyes narrowed again as a faint aura of evil erupted from his body, causing Chen Qingluan, who was beside him, to secretly cover her mouth and laugh. Chen Fengyu also smiled as she looked at how she did not place Wu Ling in her eyes at this moment.

All the elders of the Chen family felt relieved as they looked at Wu Ling and the other elders of the Wu family with cold smiles on their faces.

"The Chen Clan is truly impressive. As expected of the number one clan in Blackrock City. It seems like this won't happen. However, Patriarch Chen, you will regret it. Hmph, let's go." Since he couldn't win against Gu Qi, Wu Ling had no choice but to give up. He shifted his gaze away and looked at Chen Fengyu, but the words in his mouth were still as arrogant as before.

"Do you take my Chen family to be a public place? Come and go as you please? " Just as Wu Ling and the rest were about to leave, Chen Fengji's ice-cold voice rang out in the meeting hall. In the blink of an eye, Chen Fengji's body was placed in front of Wu Ling and the others, his jade-like hand directly pointed at Wu Ling's chest.

Seeing Chen Fengyu directly take action, Wu Ling and the crowd's expressions all changed. They came here to threaten the Chen family, but they didn't have any thoughts of making a move against the Chen family, because they were well aware of Chen Fengjie's existence, so at most, they would only provoke her and would never do anything. Moreover, they were sure that Chen Fengji wouldn't dare to do anything, because the power behind them, even if it was Chen Fengji, would still have to think about it.

What happened at that moment was truly out of their expectations.

With a drastic change in expression, Wu Ling and the other elders used all of their life-saving methods in order to block Chen Feng's finger attack!

That single finger contained an incomparably terrifying profound strength.

"Peng!" The jade-like fingers landed on the shoulders of the five elders. Then, several streams of blood were spat out from their mouths. Shock filled their faces as they frantically escaped from the meeting hall and the Chen family.

Chen Fengjiu did not continue to pursue him. This was only a lesson for the martial arts family, and not a true fight to the death.

"Your body recovered really quickly!" Chen Fengyu's gaze fell on Gu Qi's body as she spoke in a strange tone.

"Cough cough. Fortunately, my body is very strong." Gu Qi coughed dryly twice, as if it was a matter of course.

Then Gu Qi seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously.

"What is that Sacrificial Assembly?"

Our Chen Family has left behind some of the ancient monuments and we have made this place a place of offering. Every year, our Chen Family will choose the most outstanding disciples from our family to enter into this place because there are some special items that can be obtained and even Soul Treasures. Chen Fengji did not hide it. This matter was well-known throughout Blackrock City, so there was no need for her to hide it.

"It's also because of the existence of this ancient monument that our Chen Clan has always maintained our position of power in Blackrock City, untouchable."

"There is actually a Soul Treasure?" Gu Qi was able to find things like Soul Treasures from the Chen family's library.

There were two types of Soul Treasures, one attack. A single type of defense is used to increase the strength of a Soul Realm martial artist.

Normally, when a one star Xuan Weapon was fighting with a three star Xuan Weapon, if a three star Xuan Weapon didn't have any special means, then the one star Xuan Weapon with a Spirit Treasure would definitely win. This was the power of a Soul Treasure, and it could directly increase the strength of a Soul Realm warrior by thirty to forty percent.

If it was a higher level Soul Treasure, it could even directly challenge someone a level higher!

For example, a Xuan Weapon could split with a Mystical Treasure in hand and beat a Mystical Master by 50%!

The power of a Soul Treasure was fatal for a Soul Realm martial artist. Therefore, the number of people who wanted to snatch the Chen family's ancient monument was countless.

However, because of a special characteristic of the ancient monument, they all retreated. The ancient monument contained a restriction, and to the people of the Chen family, that restriction was like the air. As for outsiders, it was like an insurmountable moat.

A powerful Xuan King had once appeared in the sky and attacked the Chen family's ancient monument. However, he seemed to have found out something or received some sort of warning as he left Blackrock City with a look of shock on his face.

With this precedent, no one dared to attempt to enter the ancient monument. This was because the ancient monument truly belonged to the Chen Clan.

"If that's the case, then why did the Wu Clan come over to find an excuse to say they were here to observe?" Gu Qi actually didn't understand this point.

"What else? "If the value of the treasure is enough, they might not even mind fighting with our Chen family …" Chen Fengxian shrugged. How could she not see the reason for the Martial Family's visit, it was just that the force behind the Martial Family was indeed terrifying, and she did not want to provoke it.
