Chapter 266: Lanzhou's Past

Chu Ling smiled and said:

"Of course there is. Daoist Wang, do you want to accompany me?"

Gu Changqing was caught off guard and couldn't help but choke.

"I have something important to do, so I won't bother Daoist Chu anymore."

After saying this, Gu Changqing strode away.

And Chu Ling looked at Gu Changqing's figure leaving quickly, but didn't chase him. Instead, she walked to the other side with a smile. ŴŴŴ.

This is not that she gave up, but Chu Ling understood the truth that too much is as bad as too little.

She and Gu Changqing were just casual acquaintances, and they had only known each other for a day. If she kept sticking to him, it would be bad if he felt disgusted. Giving him a chance to breathe was also a means.

And Chu Ling came to this market for something important. She wanted to sell pills and buy medicines. It was just that Chu Ling, who always knew how to adapt, slightly changed the priorities of her plan after meeting Gu Changqing. Now, it was time for her to buy a pill shop.

A handsome young man is important, but she cannot relax on her own path.

On the other hand, Gu Changqing was relieved to see that Chu Ling did not continue to follow him.

Although there were female cultivators who expressed their affection to him in Jiuqi Mountain Range before, those female cultivators retreated after he declined. He had never met a female cultivator as bold and straightforward as Chu Ling.

However, judging from the performance of the people in the market just now, this Chu Ling must not be a simple casual cultivator. I hope that the fourth brother can investigate her background clearly!

Otherwise, it is really unsettling to travel all the way to Lanzhou with such a stranger.

Without Chu Ling following along the way, there were fewer people looking at Gu Changqing. After Gu Changqing ran to several shops, he bought the books and jade slips he wanted and returned to the inn.

At this time, it was not yet noon.

Gu Changde naturally had not returned yet. He had a lot to do today.

So, Gu Changqing returned to his room, took out a jade slip and began to check it.

This jade slip records some customs and habits about Lanzhou.

The jade slip records that Lanzhou monks worship purple and gold. Lanzhou buildings and monks' clothing are mostly purple and gold. The Yan family, the ruler of Lanzhou, is no exception. The Yan family's family clothing is purple with golden flames embroidered on it.

The jade slip also records some information about the Yan family, and even briefly records the history of the Yan family's rise and some Lanzhou history:

It is said that the Yan family has been established for more than 730 years. At the beginning, it was just a small foundation-building family. Later, under the management of the clan members, it developed into a purple mansion family. Later, the Yan family had seven purple mansions. At this point, the development of the Yan family encountered the first bottleneck period;

However, at this time, the second human-demon war in the East Wilderness broke out;

In that war, the purple mansions of the Yan family made great contributions and naturally obtained a lot of spiritual objects;

After that, the human race won a great victory and Hengzhou was established; less than three years after Hengzhou was established, the Yan family successfully promoted to a golden elixir family.

Later, when the Jindan ancestor of the Yan family advanced to the late Jindan stage, he left the East Wilderness to travel. Although no one knew where he went, when he returned, he was already a Yuanying cultivator;

The Yan family, which had become a Yuanying force, naturally inevitably had conflicts with other Yuanying forces in Lanzhou;

At that time, the most powerful force in Lanzhou was a sect called "Tianqiong Sect";

But at that time, Tianqiong Sect had three Yuanying elders, which were extremely powerful. Among the three Yuanying elders, there was even a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage!

You must know that a great cultivator in the late Yuanying stage can beat two cultivators in the early Yuanying stage without any problem, not to mention that the Yan family only has one cultivator in the early Yuanying stage;

The Tianqiong Sect was so powerful that the Yan family did not dare to act rashly. Even for a period of time, the Yuanying ancestor of the Yan family did not dare to leave Lingshan easily, let alone any ambitions. Even if there were ambitions, they could only suppress them and then take it slowly.

After that, the Yan family tried to secretly win over the cultivators of other families, and the most important one was to win over a Jindan family named Wu;

The reason was simple. Among the three Yuanying ancestors of the Tianqiong Sect, one was from the Wu family, and the other two were both legitimate descendants of the sect, so the possibility of being won over was almost zero.

However, because of this, the Wu ancestor, who came from the family, had no say in the Tianqiong Sect, and the Wu family did not get many benefits;

So the Yan family seized this opportunity and painted a pie in the sky to the Wu family: as long as the Tianqiong Sect fell, Lanzhou would belong to our Yan and Wu families;

This pie was indeed very tempting, but the Wu family was not stupid, after all, the great cultivators of the Tianqiong Sect were not vegetarians; so the Wu family had been pretending to be with the Yan family. Although they did not reject the Yan family, they did not really promise anything.

The Yan family also knew that it was not easy to take over the Tianqiong Sect, and they had to find the most suitable opportunity. The Tianqiong Sect had a deep foundation. If they could not take it down in one fell swoop, the Yan family would probably not have a good life.

However, less than 20 years after the ancestor of the Yan family returned to the Yan family, the opportunity came.

The reason was that the great cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage of the Tianqiong Sect was preparing to attack the God Transformation because his life span was short, but he failed.

The celestial phenomenon caused by the advancement to the God Transformation was too shocking, and the Tianqiong Sect could not hide it even if they wanted to. Almost on the same day, the Yan family and the Wu family received the news that the Tianqiong Sect’s late Nascent Soul elder had died.

Less than three days later, some of the powerful forces in Lanzhou also knew about this matter.

However, this did not cause much concern.

After all, even if one Yuanying ancestor was lost, Tianqiong Sect still had two Yuanying ancestors!

It was still the unshakable first force in Lanzhou.

At this time, the Yan and Wu families had already completed their meeting and conspiracy.

Although the specific details were unknown, on the fifth day after the death of the Tianqiong Sect master, the Yan family ancestor attacked the Tianqiong Sect’s residence;

For some reason, the Tianqiong Sect’s protective formation suddenly had problems. It was obviously a fifth-level top-grade formation, but the power it exerted was not even comparable to an ordinary fourth-level formation, and it was penetrated in one blow.

So, the remaining two Tianqiong Sect Yuanying cultivators joined forces to fight the enemy, and just when the three were fighting fiercely, the Wu family Yuanying ancestor secretly made a move and seriously injured the Yuanying ancestor from the direct line of the Tianqiong Sect.

The Yuanying elder was also a decisive person. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately had his Yuanying hatched and prepared to escape in order to report back.

However, the ancestor of the Yan family seemed to have anticipated his behavior and actually took out a magic weapon to stop his Nascent Soul from escaping.

The reason why Nascent Soul cultivators are difficult to deal with is that the Nascent Soul can escape very quickly after leaving the body. As long as the right materials are found, it will take one or two years to reshape the body. By then, he will be a Nascent Soul again.

The elder's Nascent Soul was restrained, so it was naturally in danger.

After the death of the Nascent Soul elder, several clever Golden Core elders escaped, and some who were unwilling to escape were destroyed along with the Tianqiong Sect.

Because the Yan family acted too quickly, and there was an internal response from the Wu family's Nascent Soul ancestor, although the Tianqiong Sect suffered a great disaster, very little was destroyed, and the Tianqiong Sect's inheritance was preserved intact.

And these inheritances were naturally divided equally between the Yan family and the Wu family.

In less than seven days, the first major force in Lanzhou collapsed, and even many marginal families in Lanzhou received the news of the failure of the Tianqiong Sect's great elder to break through and the destruction of the Tianqiong Sect at the same time.

After the fall of the Sky Dome Sect, the Wu family did live a good life for more than a hundred years. However, later on, the Wu family did not know whether their luck had run out or not. Before the Wu family's Nascent Soul ancestor passed away, no new Nascent Soul cultivators appeared.

After digesting the inheritance of the Sky Dome Sect, the Yan family became more and more prosperous. In less than a hundred years, the Yan family had several more Golden Core cultivators, and there was no gap in the number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

To this day, the Yan family has two Nascent Soul cultivators, nine Golden Core cultivators, forty-three Purple Mansion cultivators, countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, and hundreds of millions of ordinary clan members.

But for some reason, the Yan family did not kill the Wu family. However, the patriarch of the Wu family was also sensible and took the initiative to hand over half of the inheritance and assets that the Wu family had obtained to the Yan family in order to protect themselves.

Until now, although the Wu family is still a Golden Core family, under the protection of the Yan family, the Wu family still lives a comfortable life.
