Invincible Martial King

"Let's go to the Gu County."    

"Gu County?" Isn't it the Gu Family? " Zhang was surprised. If he went to the Gu County now, would it increase the possibility of his identity being exposed? He felt that this was a bit too rash.    

"That's right."    

"I need to see an old friend."    

"Old friends?"    

Zhang was suddenly enlightened. Although he didn't pursue the matter, he was actually very curious. Who was the 'old friend' that his master spoke of? Could it be that he was also a young expert with extraordinary talent? Or was he an expert of the Gu family?    

He even suspected that Lu Chen was related to the Gu family. Otherwise, why would he travel a thousand miles all the way to Yongzhou? Other, more remote continents could avoid being tracked by the Feudal Lords, but why would he come to Yongzhou instead?    

Of course, Zhang didn't dare to ask any of these questions. If one wanted to be a qualified follower, one shouldn't ask too many questions. Sometimes, knowing too much wasn't a good thing.    

Gu County.    

The Flowing Wind City.    

This was the Gu family's fiefdom, and was different from the other areas under the jurisdiction of the Martial Tao Family. There were more ordinary people here, and martial artists from all sides didn't casually fight or bully ordinary people.    

"This Gu family has some skill. The streets are bustling with activity. Ordinary civilians and martial artists mixed together, but they didn't create much of a dispute or even a fight. It's much better than the big city under Changting Marquis's rule."    

Looking at the human voice and the harmonious streets, even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Before he hid in the Black Wind Abyss, he had traveled to various large and small cities in the Central Region and had never seen such a harmonious city other than the imperial city.    

Under normal circumstances, martial artists would normally be high above others, disdainful of dealing with mortals. But here, even if the roadside stalls were set up by ordinary people, some martial artists would always stop to bargain and buy whatever they saw. Although there would be some arguments, in the end, the transaction would be completed in a very harmonious atmosphere.    

"It's really not bad."    

Lu Chen nodded. From the moment he stepped into this city, the first feeling he got was that the city was "harmonious". Whether it was martial arts cultivators or ordinary people, they all treated each other very amiably.    

"Are you foreigners who have just entered the city?"    

"The carp tofu in our city isn't bad. Can you go to the old restaurant to the east of the city and try it?"    

"What's carp tofu? There are three sights in the Hollow Stream City, the two of you can go take a look. "    

… ….    

Those warm pedestrians were afraid that Lu Chen and Cao Zhu wouldn't know about the beautiful scenery or delicious food in the city, so they introduced them very kindly.    

Lu Chen discovered that the two of them were not special. However, all the unfamiliar faces that entered the city received this treatment.    

What a special city!    

Along the way, two red lanterns were hanging on the street, and the sounds of firecrackers could be heard from afar. It was a festive smell everywhere.    

"What are these firecrackers doing?" Could it be that today is a special day for the Flowing Sky City? " Lu Chen asked an older uncle curiously.    

"The young people don't know?"    

"The young miss of the Gu family in the city is going to be engaged to the Martial Genius of the Wei Family soon, so our Sky Flow City is celebrating for the better part of a year.    

"The young miss of the Gu family is engaged to someone from the Wei Family, why are you ordinary citizens so happy?"    

Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously. If these people were martial cultivators, then it would be alright, but they were just ordinary people. Could it be that they had such a high acknowledgement of the Gu family?    

"Outsiders cannot speak nonsense."    

"The Gu family is the great benefactor of all the citizens of the city. Several hundred years ago, when the Gu family's martial artists had set up a formation to lead the rain and save all the people of the city, they took great care of us, the martial artists, so that we would not bully any ordinary people and establish strict laws, allowing us to live and enjoy our lives here. The happy occasion of the Gu family's eldest Miss was naturally a joyous event for the entire city.    

Although the old man was old, when he mentioned the Gu family, his expression became very solemn, and his words were filled with gratitude.    

"There have been many strangers like you recently, but none of you have dared to be impudent in the city. With the Gu family around, no one would dare to bully us.    

"Is the Gu family really that powerful?"    

Zhang was alarmed and uncertain. He became a bit more curious about the Gu family. It was very rare for a hidden Martial Tao Family to have such a way to win over the hearts of people.    

Lu Chen was deep in thought at the side. He continued to inquire: "Uncle, do you know the Gu family's location?"    

"Listening to you, we are all looking forward to it. We wish to pay you a visit."    

"This …"    

The old man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and slowly said, "Recently, there have been countless foreigners visiting the Gu family, but they were all stopped in their tracks. If you want to visit, it will be difficult."    

Lu Chen's brows twitched, but he could guess that the Gu family's engagement with Wei Family would attract many experts from other martial forces. It would be inappropriate for them to visit the Gu family right now.    

However, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, he still wanted to meet Gu Yiyi in advance.    

After Lu Chen's repeated inquiries, he finally found out the exact location of the Gu family from the old man. He didn't delay and arrived at the main entrance of the Gu family with Zhang.    

The Gu Clan's gate was filled with shadows, and it was exactly as the old man had said. There were countless warriors who had lined up to visit, and there were even auras of Martial Emperor Level that rippled out from a few of the luxurious carriages.    

"Young master, aren't there too many people?"    

"Why don't we rush in?" Zhang's scalp was tingling. There were strong and weak martial artists that had lined up to visit the Gu family, but even the lowest cultivation level had Indestructible Stage. It could be imagined just how many powers had formed a good relationship with him because of the news of his engagement with Wei Family.    

"Absolutely not."    

"Let's go line up."    

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen brought Zhang and squeezed into the crowd. In order to not attract too much attention, they suppressed their cultivation in the Indestructible Stage Realm.    

After waiting in line for a good half a day, Lu Chen still hadn't approached the Gu family's doorstep. The seemingly low doorstep had turned into a huge mountain in front of him.    

Time slowly passed. Just when Lu Chen and Lu Chen were about to lose their patience, it was finally their turn.    

"Do you have a name scroll?"    

The bodyguard with a knife who was blocking the door looked at Lu Chen and the other two and asked in a deep voice.    

"Bid?"    

Lu Chen frowned and looked at Zhang. The latter also shook his head in surprise.    

"If you don't have a card, I can't let you in. I'll have someone deliver the card in advance before I come to the Gu family."    

The guard waved his hand, signaling the two of them to retreat.    

"Brother, please do us a favor. Your eldest miss and I are friends. Can you kindly let us in?"    

Lu Chen couldn't help but ask after a brief hesitation.
