Without even thinking about it, Gu Shifeng blurted out: "Of course there are, and there are quite a few. However, except for Tang Xueyi, Tang Xuehong, and that boy Tang Xuelian, the others are still in Group D or Group E."
disciple."
Tang Xuelian? Boy?
Although the voices of the three people that day had changed, looking at their figures, they were definitely one woman and two men. From this point of view, the three people who assassinated him that day were most likely them.
Seeing Du Xuan stunned, Gu Shifeng asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's okay." Du Xuan came back to his senses, "Thank you, senior brother. Du Xuan will go back first."
"Oh, okay." Gu Shifeng nodded dullly and looked at Du Xuan who was walking away in confusion.
Speaking of which, in the main hall of the Demon Palace, Gu Qingshan and the elders were not in a hurry to leave.
"Brother Ren." Gu Zhikun looked at Gu Ren with a smile, "I told you before that Du Xuan was devoted to cultivation, so how could he have Kung Fu to cause trouble? It must be Tang Xuehong who deliberately caused trouble and annoyed Du Xuan. You see,
I'm right, haha."
Gu Ren chuckled lightly, shook his head, and sighed: "It's true that Tang Xuehong was wrong, but Du Xuan majored in magic fighting and was different from others, so this is normal. This Du Xuan has a good character.
It needs training.”
"Yes." Gu Qingshan also nodded, took over the conversation, and said, "Although Du Xuan is extremely talented and practices extremely hard, his character is still a bit poor, and he majors in Demon Fighting. Alas!"
Gu Qingshan sighed and continued: "However, the blows Du Xuan endured would not be much better if it were us."
"It's a pity that Du Xuan has to major in Demon Fighting. From now on, his life in Demon Valley will not be easy." Gu Lanxi said with a burst of regret.
It's a pity that Du Xuankong has a lot of talent, but he majored in magic fighting.
"Yes." Gu Zhikun couldn't help but sigh, "This Du Xuan is too stubborn. Even as a teacher, he cannot force his disciples."
"Senior Brother Zhikun." Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can Du Xuan tell me, who gave him the colorful sandalwood stick?"
Gu Zhikun shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I asked. However, Du Xuan only said that it was a gift from an old man, and he did not know who it was."
"Haha." Gu Zhikun smiled self-deprecatingly and added, "I can't force others to say no."
"Old man?" Gu Yan muttered silently, searching quickly in his mind.
Gu Qingshan stood up at this time, as if he was not interested in this issue, and said: "Okay, let's not worry so much about family affairs. Everyone, please disperse."
****
Du City, Du Fu.
Du Zhihuo walked vigorously, put on clean new clothes, and arrived at Renyi Hall in two steps.
"Haha." Before anyone arrived, Du Zhihuo's hearty laughter arrived first.
Several elders in Renyi Hall were present, with smiles on their faces. An hour ago, the elders had learned the news, and Du Zhihuo returned in triumph.
"Palace Master, elders." Du Zhihuo walked into the lobby and raised his hands to his colleagues present.
"The fire." Du Zhijin asked first, "How is it?"
"Haha." Du Zhihuo laughed heartily and said, "Well, it's not bad. I haven't been so happy in a long time."
"Yes, my Du Mansion has not been this comfortable and happy for a long time." Du Zhitu also nodded and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Du Zhimu looked at everyone with a smile, then his eyes fell on Du Zhihuo, who was already seated, and said seriously: "Tell me carefully."
"Yes." Du Zhihuo put down the teacup he had just picked up, put away his smiling face, and said with a heavy look on his face, "Although this trip has fulfilled the mission, it has also paid some price."
Several other elders pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and also put away their smiles.
"The strength of the Tang Gang is indeed far beyond that of other families, and far greater than our Du Mansion." Du Zhihuo slowly recalled, "My disciple Du Chong was the first to investigate this operation. The other party's apparent bodyguards plus the Tang Gang
There are a total of seventeen people in Zhiwei, all of whom are Dharma realm martial arts cultivators. There are eight Tang Gang Dark Hall guards, all of whom are first-level Dao realm martial arts cultivators. But later, I discovered two Dark Hall disciples with extremely high cultivation levels.
One of them is probably very close to the Shinto realm, and the other one is also at the Shudao realm."
"ah!"
"Close to the realm of Shinto!"
Several elders were shocked, but Du Zhimu was not surprised at all, but his expression was not good-looking.
Du Zhihuo paused and continued: "The opponent has a total of twenty-seven people, and I have brought almost thirty people, all of whom are at the beginning of the Dao realm or above. They have the advantage in terms of strength, but they have a slight advantage in numbers. This battle is enough.
It took half an hour of fighting before the opponent was completely killed. Of course, I deliberately left one alive. However, Mr. Jin and Mr. Tu, two of your disciples each died in the battle this time, and there are several more disciples.
I'm hurt. I will keep this feeling in my heart. In the future, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Hey." Du Zhijin waved his hand and said, "We are both working for my Du Mansion, so what are you talking about?"
"That's right, it's not for your personal matters." Du Zhitu also waved his hand.
Du Zhihuo nodded, thought for a moment, looked at Du Zhimu, and said: "However, I was a little impatient this time and almost let the disciples of the Tang Gang's Dark Hall escape. Fortunately, a mysterious master helped me.
Then I killed that man."
"Mysterious master?"
"What? Is there anyone else?"
Du Zhijin and Du Zhitu were surprised. This matter is extremely confidential, how could there be anyone else? Du Ziwei's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Du Zhimu and said nothing.
Du Zhimu looked at everyone, coughed slightly, and said, "They are from my sect."
"ah!"
"Oh, that's it."
Du Zhihuo had long guessed that he might be a disciple secretly sent by Palace Master Du Zhimu. When he heard Du Zhimu's personal admission, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Zhihuo is reckless and almost caused a catastrophe. Please punish him, Palace Master."
!”
Du Zhimu sighed, stretched out his hand to signal Du Zhihuo to sit down, and then said seriously: "This time, you are indeed a little sloppy. Not only are there many people on the other side, but there are also almost masters in the divine way. You shouldn't have
Take action. Fortunately, I secretly sent a few disciples to follow you just in case, and I just escaped the disaster."
Now, Du Zhihuo thinks about that scene that day, feeling a little scared and regretful.
"Revenge is a small matter, but Du Mansion's thousand-year foundation is a big matter. Elders, in future actions, you must put the overall interests of Du Mansion first and never take risks." Du Zhimu said seriously, and at the same time, there was naturally a hint of sternness and warmth in his words.
Order.
"yes!"
The four elders bowed in unison and responded.
Du Zhimu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In the fire, the disciples who died in the battle can be buried secretly. The family members will not be notified for the time being. After a year, when the matter is completely settled, we can find any excuse. As for the injured ones,
Disciple, Ziwei, will do his best to heal their injuries. If the injuries affect their future cultivation, we will arrange to be an instructor in the Raptors Club."
"yes."
"yes."
Du Zhihuo and Du Ziwei answered with cupped hands.
After the trivial matters were arranged, Du Zhimu felt a little more relaxed. He sighed and said, "It's better not to mess with the Tang Gang in the future. Their strength is not comparable to that of the Du Mansion."
"Yes." Du Zhijin nodded with a heavy face, "Tang Zhiwei is just a collateral disciple of the Tang Clan, but he is actually protected by masters who are close to the Shinto realm. How many masters of the Shinto realm are there in the Tang Clan?"
"Then Tang Qianren, I don't know if he is dead or not." Du Zhitu suddenly remembered Tang Qianren, the previous leader of the Tang Gang, who was the top martial arts master and Qiankun realm martial arts cultivator who could rival Tong Lao, the leader of the Wumen Sect.
.
Currently, in ASEAN, only Tong Lao from Wumen is known to be a master of the Qiankun Realm. The life and death of Tang Tianren from the Tang Clan is unknown, and Chen Lao, one of the last elders of the Wumen, is also a Qiankun Realm martial artist.
Masters in cultivation, but their life and death are also unknown. Others have passed a hundred years and must have passed away long ago.
"Master." Du Ziwei cupped his hands and said, "We still need to take precautions early. Although we have done this matter safely, there is no guarantee that the Tang Gang will not use this to deliberately cause trouble."
"Yes, the Tang Gang has long wanted to attack my Du Mansion, so we have to guard against it." Du Zhijin also nodded.
Du Zhimu stood up, stroked his beard, and sighed: "Now, I feel a little regretful. This matter was still too hasty. If we take precautions at the border in advance, there is no guarantee that the Tang Gang will not be suspicious. If we don't do anything
Being on guard, hey, wouldn’t it make my already withered Du Mansion even worse? The casualties are small, but if we lose the city, we will be ashamed of the ancestors of the Du Mansion.”
"Then, what should we do?" Du Zhihuo was a little anxious. He had strongly requested this and implemented it himself.
Du Ziwei thought for a while and said: "What the Palace Master said is reasonable. I believe that some cities bordering the Tang Gang must not be on guard early. What we can do is, first, remove some important and potential cities in these cities
Disciple, find a name to recall him or send him somewhere else. Secondly, we will send an elder to Wumen. The reason is, firstly, to thank them for protecting Du Xuan last time, and secondly, to send a few disciples.
Go to Wumen to practice."
"What's the point of sending elders to Wumen?" Du Zhijin asked puzzledly, "The Tang Gang will attack at any time. We should stay at home and be on guard against the Tang Gang."
Du Ziwei shook his head and said: "If the Tang Gang attacks our Du Mansion, according to our ASEAN agreement, we must inform Wumen and Mogu in advance. We have elders in Wumen, so we can clarify the matter with Wumen as soon as possible. Please
They came forward to mediate the matter. Wumen intervenes as soon as possible so that we can minimize the losses."
"Yes! That's very good!" Du Zhihuo didn't think much and nodded in agreement. In the eyes of everyone, although Du Ziwei is not strong enough, he still has a good mind.
"I also think this is the safest way." Du Zhitu also nodded in agreement.
Du Ziwei looked at Du Zhihuo and asked: "Mr. Huo, how is the injury of the surviving Tang Gang disciple? If we wait for him to return to the Tang Gang, how long will it take?"
"This?" Du Zhihuo thought for a while, carefully recalling the injuries on the Tang Clan's dark palace disciple, and then said, "At that time, there were no less than a dozen wounds on that guy's body, and there were almost bones visible in the deep wounds. I estimate
, it will take at least a month.”
After Du Zhihuo finished speaking, Du Zhijin wondered: "What is the connection between this? As long as the surviving disciples of the Tang Gang arrive at Jiujiu City, they can fly pigeons to pass the message back to the Tang Gang. When the Tang Gang knows about this
