Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Palace, Gu Yan!

Chapter 26: The Masters of the Cloud Star Sect?

Just as Gu Yan noticed the strange, burly man, he suddenly sensed something moving beneath his feet.

Looking down, he saw that it was Xiao Lin raising its paw to pat his leg.

"Let me out?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow.

Fifteen minutes later, somewhere in the Gu family's residence.

The strange, burly man suddenly noticed a chubby little boy.

They are running towards him.

That appearance was rather comical.

Gu Xuan was surprised to see that the person Yan Ge had asked him to find was such a burly man.

"This guy doesn't seem human," Gu Xuan thought, frowning slightly.

The strange, burly man sensed a certain aura emanating from Gu Xuan, and his face immediately turned pale. His legs trembled, and he suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Lord Holy Beast, Lord Holy Beast, please forgive this humble beast, this humble beast, this humble beast meant no harm!" the middle-aged man stammered, his words barely coherent.

"Huh?"

Gu Xuan tilted his head, not understanding what the guy in front of him was talking nonsense about.

Seeing that Gu Xuan remained silent, the middle-aged man's eyes filled with fear, and he hurriedly said, "This little beast only came following the aura of the Holy Beast, and only asks to follow the Holy Beast and serve by its side!"

"Sir, what nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Xuan was filled with doubt. Could this guy be an idiot?

He stepped forward, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Uncle, get up quickly. Brother Yan asked me to take you to his yard."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Brother Yan?

Could it be the Holy Beast Lord?

At the same time.

Just as Gu Yan and Gu Ruiqing were saying they were going back to their own courtyard, a member of the Gu family suddenly rushed into the hall.

"Reporting to the clan leader, more than a dozen people suddenly broke in, and we couldn't stop them!"

The clansman said anxiously, "Among them is a Grand Battle Master!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Today was the Gu family's ancestral worship ceremony. Who was so blind?

The Gu family is not what it used to be. They have twelve members at the Great Dou Master level. Anyone who dares to provoke the Gu family is asking for death.

Those present were all family leaders, the weakest of whom were all Battle Masters.

They had already planned that as long as Gu Yan gave the order, they would all attack together and take down all the fools.

Gu Yan's eyes flickered slightly. He had been so focused on observing the big man that he hadn't expected anyone to come and cause trouble at the Gu family's residence today.

Seeing more than a dozen unfamiliar figures rushing towards the hall, Gu Yan immediately shouted coldly, "Who dares to trespass on my Gu family manor!"

"Within this Xuanzhou territory, I can go wherever I want. The Gu family has quite the nerve, knowing I've arrived yet not coming out to greet me?"

This lineage?

Could he be a Dou Zong powerhouse?

The thought flashed through everyone's minds for a moment, and then they all shook their heads in unison.

Absolutely impossible!

In fact, it is indeed impossible.

The speaker wasn't some powerful Dou Zong, but just a young man in his early thirties.

He was dressed in a light blue long robe, exuding an air of grandeur, and was slowly walking towards them.

He was followed by more than a dozen people.

All eyes immediately fell on him.

Who is this?

"It's Yunxing Sect clothing!" Someone noticed the clothes worn by one of the middle-aged men.

"Could it be that experts from the Cloud Star Sect have come to avenge the Zhao family?"

"Is this the only person wearing Cloud Star Sect robes?"

"What should we do?"

Many people began to whisper among themselves.

"That person looks like Elder Kang from the Cloud Star Sect!"

"I heard that Elder Kang was once seriously injured, and it was only by being rescued by the Zhao family that he survived..."

"It's said that all the elders of the Cloud Star Sect are at least Dou Ling level experts!"

"I remember Elder Kang was a Dou Ling powerhouse!"

"Hiss... Fighting Spirits? That Gu family..."

Everyone is well aware of the gap between a Great Dou Master and a Dou Spirit.

Even if the Gu family has twelve Great Dou Masters, Kang Yangming alone is enough to stop them.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Among the five cities of the Eastern Wilderness, there has never been a Dou Ling expert.

Seeing the crowd whispering amongst themselves, the young man at the head of the group remained calm and arrogant, his gaze sweeping over them as he strolled leisurely, as if this were his own home.

Gu Yan's eyes turned slightly cold; the newcomer was clearly up to no good.

How could the Cloud Star Sect be able to spare the time to pay attention to the affairs of the five cities in the Eastern Wilderness?

Is the royal family in decline?

"Everyone, this is our Yunxing Sect's young sect master, Young Master Gong Chen."

A Yunxing Sect expert introduced the situation in a loud voice.

Actually, their coming today was Gong Chen's own idea.

Recently, the Cloud Star Sect has gained the assistance of a mysterious Dou Huang powerhouse, and Gong Chen feels that they have victory in their grasp.

So when he overheard Kang Yangming talking about the Zhao family, he wanted to come and see for himself this so-called Gu family.

"Greetings, Young Master Gong."

The family leaders hurriedly stood up and bowed.

The situation seems quite clear now.

These people aren't fools.

Although the Gu family has a peerless genius, genius does not equate to strength.

Although the one who came from Yunxing Sect was just a young sect master, Yunxing Sect had a Douhuang powerhouse backing them up.

As for immediately siding with the Cloud Star Sect against the Gu family?

They wouldn't do that.

Just be a spectator.

They didn't want to get involved.

We'll see how the situation develops.

Some astute individuals have already vaguely sensed that the Gu family may not be as simple as it seems.

After all, there is no such thing as a sudden rise to power in this world...

Gu Yan sat back down, his soul power quietly spreading out and enveloping Gong Chen and the others.

One six-star Dou Ling, one two-star Dou Ling, two nine-star Great Dou Shi, one one-star Great Dou Shi, and the rest are Dou Shi.

The Six Stars Fighting Spirit is none other than Kang Yangming.

As for that one-star Grand Dou Master, it was Gong Chen.

"The Gu family is really lively today. The scene is even bigger than the celebration when my sect advanced to the Great Dou Master level." Gong Chen walked into the hall and said with a sneer.

"Young Sect Master Gong Chen has come from afar, and the Gu family is deeply honored. Someone, please bring a seat for the Young Sect Master." Gu Yan said this, but in his heart he was thinking of a solution.

A six-star Dou Ling is not easy to deal with.

Gong Chen's gaze fell directly on Gu Yan, his eyes narrowed, and his face turned cold. "This little fellow is the new patriarch of your Gu family? So young, yet so arrogant! The sect leader is here, and he's still sitting there calmly. What audacity!"

The two-star Dou Ling beside Gong Chen immediately shouted coldly, "Boy, why aren't you coming down to greet him!"

"Young Sect Master Gong Chen, this is the Gu Family Manor, not the Yunxing Sect. Since you have come uninvited, why should I go down to greet you?" Gu Yan said indifferently.

Since the other party has already shown hostility, Gu Yan will not do anything to compromise.

If it were two weeks ago, he really wouldn't have had any way to deal with this lineup.

But things are different now.

If all our trump cards have been played, keeping this six-star fighting spirit is not out of the question.

It's just a pity about the many souls collected in that Soul Burial Pearl.

However, the thought of gaining two more souls of Dou Ling experts made Gu Yan feel less heartbroken.
