94: Chapter 94 The Gu Family Agrees, Each with Their Own Thoughts

Gu Xuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Speak. What is it you need?"

Grand Elder Bing Yun took a deep breath. "Senior, the Demon Race has appeared in The Extreme North. Those demons claim their Demon Emperor is about to arrive! When that happens, the Demon Race army will descend upon us, and the Desolate Ancient Continent will be in imminent danger!"

She paused. "The various Emperor Families and Immortal Clans of the Central Plains have formed an Alliance to resist the Demon Race together. This Junior has come to invite the Gu Family to join the Alliance and defend against our common enemy!"

Gu Xuan listened without any reaction.

He had known about this long ago!

Grand Elder Bing Yun's heart sank, fearing that the Gu Family was unwilling to intervene.

Yet, she still wanted to try; after all, the Gu Family's participation would undoubtedly raise their strength to a whole new level!

This would increase their hope of resisting the Demon Race, preventing people from falling into despair!

"Senior, the Demon Race is cruel and bloodthirsty; they nearly destroyed the continent hundreds of thousands of years ago. Now that the Seal has loosened, if the Demon Race army is allowed to enter, the Desolate Ancient Continent will be plunged into misery. Although Senior is strong, you cannot remain unaffected."

Gu Xuan raised his hand, interrupting her. "I know."

Grand Elder Bing Yun was stunned, not knowing what else to say.

She could not fathom what this Old Ancestor of the Gu Family was thinking. When the Demon Race truly invades, no faction will be able to remain unaffected!

She still hoped that the Gu Family would join them!

Gu Xuan looked at her. "You may return now. In a few days, I will send someone."

Grand Elder Bing Yun was stunned. She had expected the Gu Family to refuse or set conditions.

She hadn't expected them to agree so readily!

"Thank you, Senior!" Grand Elder Bing Yun stood up and bowed deeply.

Gu Xuan waved his hand without saying a word.

Grand Elder Bing Yun took Saintess Bing Xin and two Elders, then turned to leave.

Upon walking out of the back mountain, Saintess Bing Xin let out a long breath; her back was drenched in cold sweat!

"Grand Elder, the Gu Family Old Ancestor..."

Grand Elder Bing Yun shook her head. "Do not ask."

Saintess Bing Xin said nothing more.

She knew the Grand Elder meant that the cultivation of the Gu Family Old Ancestor was not something she could fathom!

Grand Elder Bing Yun quickened her pace. "Let us return to the Central Plains."

Subsequently, the group departed from the Gu Family. The news quickly spread back to the Central Plains!

In a grand hall, representatives of the various Emperor Families and Immortal Clans gathered, awaiting news from Grand Elder Bing Yun!

"She has returned!" someone shouted.

Grand Elder Bing Yun walked into the hall, and everyone looked at her.

"How did it go? Did the Gu Family agree?" Patriarch Han Tiance was the first to speak.

Grand Elder Bing Yun nodded. "They agreed."

A collective sigh of relief echoed through the hall, but soon, someone else asked, "How many people did they send? What is their cultivation?"

Grand Elder Bing Yun glanced at the person. "That Senior said he would send people over in a few days. He did not specify who or what their cultivation level would be."

The hall suddenly fell silent, and then murmurs of discussion erupted.

"A few days? We don't know when the Demon Race will arrive, and they are taking a few days?!"

"Exactly! The enemy is already at our doorstep, and they are still dawdling!"

"How many people will they send? They wouldn't just send a few nobodies to fob us off, would they?"

"After all, it is not their own business, so they do not care."

This instantly sparked dissatisfaction and murmurs, as some felt the Gu Family did not take the matter seriously enough!

Some even accused the Gu Family of selfishness!

Some even questioned the Gu Family's strength!

With the Demon Race about to arrive at their doorstep, the fact that they felt no urgency made some people very dissatisfied!

Grand Elder Bing Yun glanced at them, having nothing to say.

The Gu Family would send people in a few days. Who they would send and what their cultivation level was would naturally be revealed then!

What was the point of arguing here now?

Could arguing here conjure up a Great Emperor?

Or could it make them stronger? Neither would happen!

Grand Elder Bing Yun ignored them. When they spoke about the Gu Family like this, it was merely because they wanted the Gu Family to send more powerful experts; to put it bluntly, they wanted the Gu Family to shoulder the heaviest burden.

Grand Elder Bing Yun had witnessed the power of the Gu Family. For these people, it was simply a matter of preserving their own interests!

Grand Elder Bing Yun ignored these people.

These people wanted the Gu Family to shoulder the burden while they preserved their own strength! The war had not even begun, yet they were already calculating how to exploit others!

She had witnessed the power of the Gu Family; any one of those auras from the back mountain of the Gu Family could crush everyone present into dust!

Yet, these people were still arrogant, thinking they were more powerful than the Gu Family!

Did they really think those three Peak Quasi-Emperor experts from before were there just for a joke?

Once the Gu Family sent their people, these individuals would realize how ridiculous they were!

There was no need to expose their hypocritical faces here!

"Let us disperse." Grand Elder Bing Yun turned to leave.

Suddenly, a white-haired old man stood up. "Elder Bing, wait."

Grand Elder Bing Yun turned back and looked at the man. It was the old patriarch of the Immortal Clan, the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Yun.

He had lived for over ten thousand years and was at the Seventh Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm, making him one of the most powerful individuals present!

Zhuge Yun looked around. "Now that the Demon Race is invading, it concerns the survival of the continent. Since the Alliance has been established, there must be a common leader to oversee operations and coordinate everything. Only then can we ensure orders are followed during wartime and prevent those who might flee from taking advantage of the situation!"

Murmurs of discussion arose again in the hall. Some agreed with this view, believing that a common leader was necessary, as it would make the allocation of resources much more convenient!

This would make things much easier for those fighting on the front lines! It would also strike fear into those who might flee!

Patriarch Han Tiance was the first to speak. "I nominate the Li Family. The Li Family has a Legacy spanning a million years and has produced a Great Emperor. Their foundation is profound, and the Li Family Old Ancestor is at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. He is virtuous and prestigious, well-qualified for the position of common leader!"

As his voice fell, some echoed his sentiment, while others shook their heads!

At this moment, a representative from another Emperor Family stood up. "Although the Li Family is strong, when it comes to foundation, the Ice Phoenix Clan is no less inferior. The Ice Phoenix Clan has also produced a Great Emperor. Furthermore, Grand Elder Bing Yun is at the Eighth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and their Clan Chief is at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, which is not inferior to the Li Family Old Ancestor. I nominate the Ice Phoenix Clan!"

Another person stood up. "You are all wrong. In terms of strength, foundation, and prestige, the Qi Family is the most suitable. The Qi Family has two experts at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, and they produced a Great Emperor a million years ago; their Legacy has never been broken. If the Tian Family Old Ancestor is willing to come out of seclusion, what is there to fear from the Demon Race?"

The three families debated, each with their own supporters, arguing incessantly!

Some supported the Han Family, some the Ice Phoenix Clan, some the Tian Family, and others supported the Gu Family!

After all, the Gu Family possessed three experts at the Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm; such a Family might have even more terrifying existences behind it!

However, these people only believed in what had been recorded in history, and besides, the Gu Family had only recently emerged.

Their foundation and Legacy certainly could not compare to families that had been passed down for so long!

Grand Elder Bing Yun stood to the side, silent. She glanced at the arguing crowd, then turned and walked out of the hall.

She did not want to get involved in these matters! She did not care who became the common leader!

What she cared about was how to stop the Demon Race once they arrived!
