Chapter 2308 The person who inherits the Martial Saint
Gu Chen followed Dongfang Shan down the mountain road. In the huge square in the distance, he could feel the mixed atmosphere and many monks.
Dongfang Shan did not choose to fly, but deliberately walked slowly and unhurriedly.
"Because the Taoist Xiaoyao from Fangcun Mountain was late in arriving, the general alliance meeting was delayed for a few days."
"Now that others have arrived, more than 10,000 cultivator representatives from various rebel armies from the Nine Mountains and Seas, a total of 800 forces, have gathered in the inner square. The 'Fang Yuan' you call him is about to give an important speech to them.
.”
Dongfang Shandao, Gu Chen listened quietly.
"Do you know who the rebel army mainly consists of?"
Dongfang Shan asked and answered himself, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"The earliest rebel army was actually composed of some Taoist ancestors who were unwilling to submit to the five masters and their forces."
"Some of these Taoist ancestors were great figures of the same period as the five masters. Even if some were not, they achieved enlightenment and became ancestors before the five masters completely controlled the way of heaven."
"However, as time flies, the five masters have become more and more powerful in controlling the Taoist world, and their power has penetrated into all aspects. Unfortunately, some Taoist friends have been persecuted. Today, there are only four Taoist ancestors left in the rebel army."
"These four Taoist ancestors are Mo Xiaoyun, Xiaoyao, Zhu Shanjun and me."
"In fact, with the abilities of the five masters, if they put all their efforts into annihilating these so-called rebels like us, it won't be that difficult."
"It's just that the five masters didn't have the same mind. After controlling the destiny, they didn't take us seriously. They thought that we would die naturally in time, so they allowed us to survive by chance."
Dongfang Shan directly revealed the miserable side of the rebel army to Gu Chen, and he was slightly surprised.
"The five masters have established a series of systems controlled by them. These systems ensure that every new Taoist ancestor in the Taoist world is under their control. From now on, there will no longer be a force that can threaten them in this world. No matter how strong the genius is, he will eventually be defeated."
It will become their furnace."
"Their idea is right. As the system is established, the space for the rebels to survive is getting smaller and smaller, the number of former Taoist friends is getting thinner and thinner, and the hope of overthrowing the five masters is getting slimmer and slimmer."
"Fortunately, although the world is bad, the rebel army is not without some fresh blood."
"In every era, there are always those strong men who are unwilling to submit to the ways of heaven. Although most of these people died, their descendants survived and joined the rebel army incognito."
"When there are many people, each of them has few demands for their own interests, and conflicts will naturally arise."
"Strictly speaking, the rebel army has never been a formal organization. It has a loose internal structure. Although it adheres to the same philosophy, most of the time it operates independently."
"This was the case until a million years ago, when a man named Gu Xinghao appeared."
When Dongfang Shan said this, Gu Chen's pupils also shrank.
In the secret place of the Overlord clan, the ancestor lying in the golden coffin with his heart missing was none other than Gu Xinghao.
"Gu Xinghao was the patriarch of the Ba clan at that time, and he was a very charismatic person."
"He is brave, resourceful and righteous. Leaders of many forces in the rebel army have made friends with him and even sworn brothers."
"Although I, Mo Xiaoyun, Xiaoyao, and Zhu Shanjun are senior and strong in the rebel army, the rising stars of the rebel army are all in the same boat as Gu Xinghao."
"Obviously he is just a little devil from the Holy Realm, but his prestige is extremely high. Before I came into contact with him, I didn't like him at all."
"But later I got to know him and found that he was indeed a very special person."
"Gu Xinghao was born in an era when the Overlord Clan was in decline. Due to the disappearance of Yaogu's hegemonic body and the increasing decline of Hegemony, the entire Overlord Clan was in a state of depression, and even the children within the clan had doubts about their own bloodline."
"Under such circumstances, Gu Xinghao wanted to find another way for the Hegemon clan. He visited famous teachers and entered Taoism through martial arts. Even though he was humiliated by Yuanzu and many other powerful people in the world, he still did not change his true intentions."
"He was persistent and succeeded, finding a seemingly feasible path for the Overlords... Back then, he already had the strength of the Great Sage Realm, and he had discovered the possibility of going further. Maybe the Overlords would really be able to re-establish themselves because of him.
Rise, it’s a pity…”
Gu Chen listened to the story belonging to his ancestors and couldn't help but reply: "The rebellion in Yiyan Mountain..."
"Yes, back then on Mount Yiyan, the Holy Family set up a trap with the intention of wiping out our rebel army."
"Due to various reasons, it is difficult for the four Dao Ancestors and me to take action."
"Although Gu Xinghao had some friendship with our rebel army at that time, he was actually not a member of our rebel army."
"But in the end, it was him who stepped in to prevent this disaster, allowing the various rebel armies to continue!"
Dongfang Shan closed his eyes when he said this, with a sad and solemn expression.
"As a result of the Yiyan Mountain Rebellion, Gu Xinghao died, and the Overlord clan completely lost the chance to rise again, and the entire clan was even expelled into the Sea of Chaos."
"This is a kindness that is difficult to repay, and although Gu Xinghao died, he left behind his faith."
"Because of him, the various rebel armies that have been scattered for countless years have never been united. Today they are all gathered here, which is proof of the inheritance of this will!"
Dongfang Shan looked at Gu Chen with burning eyes.
"A genius who bears the name of the Overlord is of great significance to the rebel army, but you say he is a fake."
"I give you a chance to prove yourself, not because I believe in you, but because there is no room for error in this, do you understand?"
Gu Chen smiled, without any nervousness or anxiety. This calmness made Dongfang Shan more trusting.
"The meeting has begun, and until it ends, no matter what method you use to prove your identity, you will only have this one chance."
"If it turns out that you are a liar, then you will never get out of the realm of cause and effect alive. Not only will I not forgive you, but the huge rebel army will never let you go!"
"But if you prove that you are the true descendant of the Overlord Clan, no matter how strong the counterfeit is, our rebel army will protect you. This is our wish for the Martial Saint!"
Dongfang Shan expressed his attitude, which was firm and unshakable.
"Having already lured the wolf into the house, knowing that Fang Yuan is extremely powerful, will he still protect me, a worthless descendant of the Overlord clan?"
Gu Chen mocked himself and said that the rebels did have some beliefs and were not mediocre people.
If you were someone who was accustomed to seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, at this juncture, it no longer mattered whether Fang Yuan was truly a descendant of the Overlord Clan.
What matters is his strength and power, what matters is the pros and cons.
In this era, after all, there are still people who adhere to ancient moral principles.
But, in the end, I still underestimated myself!
Did he come to seek protection from the rebels?
No, he is here to mess with Fang Yuan!
Not only do you want to destroy the place, but you also want to hit them head-on and kill people!
