Watching Zhou Ming fly away, the elder of the Mu Dao Gu Master just realized that when Zhou Ming left, he took a few of his Gu worms with him.
It's a pity that he can't do anything now, he can only stand stiffly, crying in the wind, miserable and miserable.
…
A tragic battle gradually came to an end with Zhou Ming's departure.
All the rank-4 and rank-3 elders of the three allied forces were killed by Zhou Ming. The remaining rank-1 and rank-2 Gu masters were leaderless and quickly chose to retreat.
Several family elders quickly organized their team and continued towards the valley, their previous destination.
Although the enemy was repulsed this time, the hunting team also suffered heavy casualties and was unable to make the long journey back to Nuanchi Valley.
They could only rest on the spot and decided to guard the gourd-shaped valley that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, waiting for the family's reinforcements to arrive.
Soon, the team arrived at the valley, entered it, and guarded the entrance of the valley, taking strict precautions.
Because the enemy Gu Masters who were repulsed did not leave here, but stayed far behind the team, tracking their whereabouts at all times.
Obviously, the other party did not give up.
"Huh, if they want to follow, let them follow! Support from the clan will arrive tomorrow. Then we will annihilate them in one fell swoop and make it impossible for the three major families to come back!"
In the valley, listening to the report of the investigating Gu Master, an elder said with a sneer.
A few hours later, the family elders received a letter from the family, asking them to hold on for seven hours. Zhou Mang's family elder personally led reinforcements from the family to come to support.
"Hahaha, great! With Zhou Mang's help, all the chickens and dogs will be wiped out!"
The Mu Dao Gu Master from before was lying on the bed and laughed loudly.
Because he had been using Wood Charm Gu for too long, his legs became stiff and he couldn't walk. He could only lie on the bed. There were still a few leaves growing on his head, which swayed as he laughed, making him look quite funny.
"Elder Zhou Mang really cares about his grandson." An elder sneered in his heart.
If Zhou Lin is not in the hunting team, do you think the old guy will lead the team himself?
No, if they pass the news about the reincarnation body of Senhai back to the family, I'm afraid it's not just Zhou Mang's elders who will come, but even the clan leader will come in person!
"Oh, it would have been nice if Zhou Ming had not left..."
An unknown family elder suddenly spoke, causing the atmosphere in the room to quickly become silent.
Zhou Ming, this junior whose name they had never even heard of before, was now mentioned in their mouths all the time...
The hunting team set up tents in the valley and rested in teams one by one.
In one of the inconspicuous tents, Zhou Hao called Zhou Yu and Zhou Ke over with a solemn expression.
"What I say next is very important. Remember, the senior family officials will definitely ask us about Zhou Ming. No matter what you ask, tell the truth and don't hide anything. But there is not a single word that was asked.
Don’t say it either! Do you understand?”
Zhou Yu and Zhou Ke looked at each other, and both saw tension and worry about the situation in each other's eyes.
But in the end, both of them nodded and said: "I know!"
"Very good." Zhou Hao took out the flower bud from the hole, "Here, let me show you the last thing Zhou Ming left for us..."
In the hunting team at this time, the busiest ones were the healing Gu masters. The previous battle had resulted in a large number of wounded, and each Healing Gu master was burdened with the task of treating several patients. They were so tired that they wanted to fall to the ground.
The next busy thing is the reconnaissance Gu Masters, who are always monitoring the movements around the valley, as well as the movements of the enemy stationed not far outside the valley.
Seven hours passed quickly, but there was not even a shadow of the family reinforcements they had been waiting for.
"What happened?"
A bad feeling arose in the hearts of the investigating Gu Masters. Although they relied on their good training and continued to stick to their posts, the inevitable panic gradually spread among them.
They were worried about the enemy's reinforcements that might appear at any time, and they were always looking forward to their own reinforcements. They suffered in fear for another two hours before a letter Gu flew into the valley.
"What! The reinforcements were ambushed halfway and were trapped in Pingfeng Mountain. Zhou Mang's family was seriously injured?"
Several family elders almost jumped up in shock when they received the information in the letter.
"The Zhou Mang family is a rank 4 high-ranking Gu Master, who can hurt him?"
Zhou Kangtai sat up from the bed with his hands on his body and almost fell off the bed because he was so excited.
"Stop screaming, this is a letter written by the patriarch himself, how can it be fake!"
Another old man held the letter Gu in his hand and continued to read the content behind it, his expression relaxed.
"The patriarch decided to personally lead the team to support us!"
"What?"
"Really!"
"The patriarch is still injured, so how can he leave the family and work hard?"
All the elders started asking questions.
"Well, maybe it's for Zhou Ming." An elder suddenly sighed.
"What's the meaning?"
"You, you spread the news about Zhou Ming back to your family!"
Another family member pointed at the family member and screamed.
"That's right, I think this matter needs to be reported to the family!" The family man said confidently, and that was true.
"You! Alas...if the patriarch is injured because of this incident, you will be the sinner of the family!"
The elders of the family are worried. Now the clan leader is injured, and the fourth-level elder Zhou Mang is seriously injured and trapped. The family's top combat power has been greatly damaged.
However, the enemy has three major families dispatched together, with three rank five Gu masters and ten rank four Gu masters!
Such a huge gap between the enemy and ourselves made several elders feel a sense of powerlessness that the situation was over.
Nearly six hours later, the investigating Gu Master saw smoke and dust billowing from the southwest, and a large army was approaching, so he quickly sent people to investigate.
Soon, the good news spread back to the valley.
The support army led by clan leader Zhou Qitian has arrived!
When Zhou Qitian's figure appeared in the valley, the entire valley erupted with strong shouts of excitement.
Zhou Qitian looks thirty years old, but his actual age is close to fifty. He is tall, has scorching eyes, and has a cold face. His whole person exudes strong confidence and majesty from the inside out.
He is very powerful, fifty years old is the prime of life for a Gu Master, and he is the absolute authority of the entire Zhou family.
Zhou Qitian did not waste time by making any speech, and directly ordered the hunting team to be incorporated into the supporting army, and immediately went to rescue the besieged Zhou Mang family elders.
After a short period of reorganization, the army immediately set off towards Pingfeng Mountain in front.
However, just after the army traveled a hundred miles, the reconnaissance Gu Master suddenly discovered that traces of enemy Gu Masters appeared in several directions ahead.
"Enemy attack!"
The reconnaissance Gu Master's stern warnings resounded in all directions. The enemy troops from several directions had completed the encirclement, wrapping up the team led by Zhou Qitian himself like dumplings!
Several figures walked out of the encircling army, with smiles on their faces, riding on tall mounts, looking down at the Zhou family from a high position.
The appearance of these people made the faces of the elders of the Zhou family become even paler, and some of them could not help but groan in despair.
"Oh my God, the patriarchs and elders of the three families..."
"Wen Renyue, Kou Chi, Fu Ying, three rank five Gu masters, and five rank four Gu masters. How to fight against such a camp?"
Being timid before fighting, the hearts of the elders were quickly filled with despair, and they could no longer control the expressions on their faces.
The Gu Masters under my command all felt this way when they saw the elders reacting like this. Even though many of them didn't even know who the people were who walked out from the other side, they were discouraged and lost their fighting spirit.
The morale of the Zhou family's army dropped rapidly, as if there was a layer of gray mist hanging over their heads, so dark that no sign of life could be seen.
"Zhou Qitian, come out. It's not your style to hide behind your clan members."
At this time, a person on the other side shouted loudly.
He is Fu Ying, the head of the Fu family, with a rank five intermediate cultivation level.
Zhou Qitian flew out from the Zhou family's army, landed at the front of the Zhou family's army, and looked face to face with the heads of the three clans.
He looked calm and spoke. His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the battlefield: "The three coalition forces are so grand. It seems that you are determined to destroy my Zhou family today."
"Hmph, the Zhou family has occupied Nuanchi Valley for twenty years. It's time to move on and change the owner!" Wenren Yue, the head of the Wenren family, snorted coldly.
"Really, after destroying my Zhou family, who will take over Nuanchi Valley?" Zhou Qitian looked at Wen Renyue, "Do you Wen Renyue?"
Wen Renyue narrowed his eyes, knowing that it was Zhou Qitian's alienating words, so he didn't get angry, he just sneered.
"Zhou Qitian, we have known each other for many years, and there is no need to talk nonsense. Today, your Zhou family is destined to suffer, even Gu Immortal can't keep you, I said so!"
"Then let's start the war." Zhou Qitian's voice was still calm, and his whole person seemed as cold as stone, without any emotion.
"Don't worry!" Kou Chi, the head of the Kou family, took a step forward and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, before I do anything, I'd like to introduce you to an old friend to catch up on old times!"
"Brother Batuha, come out!"
Following Coach's shout, the void around him suddenly distorted into a shadow, and then a person stepped out of the shadow.
"Zhou Qitian, the taste of the heart-corroding Gu is unpleasant."
The Gu Master's eyes glowed faintly green, staring at Zhou Qitian like a wild beast, grinning coldly.
Batuha is the fifth-level demonic Gu master who successfully attacked Zhou Qitian a few days ago.
Zhou Qitian was silent, his eyes swept over Batuha, then Kou Chi, Wen Renyue, and Fu Ying.
"It seems that we are doomed today."
"However, it is not that easy to defeat me, Zhou Qitian!"
"The four of you come together! I won't let you kill anyone from my Zhou family until I die!"
Zhou Qitian's words were sonorous and powerful, and they spread throughout the battlefield, sweeping away the low emotions of all the Zhou family members. The blood boiled in their chests, and their fighting spirit surged!
The faces of the heads of the three families became a little ugly. They originally wanted to weaken the Zhou family's fighting spirit, kill their fighting spirit, resolve the battle more easily, and reduce casualties.
Now seeing the Zhou family's army's renewed fighting spirit, the heads of the three families immediately understood that if an all-out war started now, their casualties would be far higher than expected!
"Zhou Qitian must die!"
At this moment, the heads of the three families instantly unified their opinions.
Only by killing Zhou Qitian cleanly and neatly in front of everyone can the Zhou family's rising fighting spirit be dispersed again. Otherwise, the victory will be a tragic victory!
"kill!"
At this thought, the heads of the three families seemed to have a tacit understanding and launched an attack on Zhou Qitian at the same time!
