ey also wore black cloth masks.
Apart from a pair of ruthless eyes, they covered themselves completely.

Dragon Three to Dragon Five swiftly reacted, and used their ever-ready weapons to engage in a back-and-forth fight with them.
It was just that the weapons of their counterparts were clearly better than theirs.
Although everyone seemed to be fighting to a draw, the damage to the weapons of Dragon Three and the others was severe.

In the circle, Gu Zuo pulled Mingxia behind himself.

At the same time, he made Tianyang and the others get closer to himself.
This compressed the circle and lightened the pressure on the Tianlong Guards.

Gu Zuo carefully observed these ambushers.

Their strength was mostly at Xiantian stage one and two.
Only the person who was fighting Tianheng had the strength of Xiantian stage four.
Under the premise that Tianheng’s true strength was unknown, this kind of configuration could clearly wipe out Tianheng.
Merely, because the other party didn’t guess accurately, they were dealt with as a butcher handled his cleaver.

As such, a question arose.

Who, in the end, was so sinister as to have laid in wait when they were halfway back to the Sect?

Hidden enemies were too frightening.
They needed to think carefully and ferret those people out!

Gongyi Tianyang and several of the Gongyi Clan children also watched Gu Zuo’s first reaction when danger arrived.
Their hearts first had a moment of shock, but soon after, they were resolute and determined.

A pharmacist without the power to defend himself was this valorous, so they also needed to summon up their courage and confront the enemy! At the very least, they definitely couldn’t get in the way!

— In actuality, they didn’t realize that Gu Zuo wasn’t without the power to defend himself.
Also, his courage really wasn’t all that much…

At any rate, Tianheng was dealing with that Xiantian stage four off to the side.
Within a few seconds, his spear streaked across in a tricky arc, and tilted back into an upward slash.
That assassin’s chest was pierced through, killing him.
After that, Tianheng turned around and came over.
He killed the remaining three Xiantian assassins preoccupied by the Tianlong Guards one by one.
His posture was confident and agile, like he’d already achieved the best effects without using much strength.

Tianyang and the other children looked at Tianheng, and the lively lights blooming in their eyes were very distinct:

“Big brother is very powerful!”

“He deserves to be called our cousin!”

“In the future, we must cultivate painstakingly if we want to be as skillful as our cousin!”

Gongyi Tianheng faced them and gave a faint smile.

Dragon Three, Dragon Four, and the others all swiftly advanced, tearing off the black cloths from those corpses’ faces.
They rummaged through their bodies, looking for any kind of proof of identity.

Perhaps these people were inexperienced or they thought that eradicating Tianheng’s group was a foregone conclusion.
Around their chests, there were indeed inter-spatial tools.
After taking everything out, not only was there an ample supply of several million golden banknotes and medicinal pills, there were also weapons, Inner Sect disciple tokens, as well as some other inconsequential things.

Tianheng looked at the identities of those tokens.
Written on them were very unfamiliar names.
With his memorization ability, he promptly discovered that these names weren’t on the Earth Leaderboard nor famous Inner Sect disciples.
But unfortunately, they came out to assassinate — They should’ve been secretly relying on some people.
Those instigators behind the scenes also inevitably had a certain status and identity.

It was only that, in the end, it wasn’t known who those people were.

Gu Zuo pondered.

He thought that, whether in the Inner or Outer Sect, he and his big brother had been very prudent about not starting feuds lightly with others.
If they had offended anyone, it would’ve only been Duanshui Hall.
Merely, Duanshui Hall was fighting to the death with Mingyue Pavilion.
How could they have gotten their hands free to plot against them?

— Then, could it be that there was someone else?

If one wanted to obtain the method they possessed for capturing large quantities of wild beasts, such a simple and crude approach was obviously unsuitable.

During this short time, Gu Zuo wasn’t able to figure it out.

Tianheng muttered for a moment, and said: “Dispose of the corpses.”

Dragon Five and Dragon Six promptly acted as ordered.
Their movements were very direct and efficient.

Gu Zuo asked: “Has big brother thought of something?”

Tianheng nodded, but then shook his head slightly: “I have a bit of a guess, but that guess doesn’t have a shred of evidence.
There’s just simple notions that there might be such a possibility.
Thus, I can’t be sure.”

Gu Zuo was puzzled: “…What is it?”

Tianheng’s voice was deep and low: “Lu Jiusi.”

Gu Zuo stared blankly.

Tianheng said: “It’s only based on how Ah Zuo described Lu Jiusi to me, and this matter doesn’t really resemble his style.
He had waited patiently beside Xi Yangyun and Xu Lingxiu for all those years, so any movements shouldn’t have been so clumsy.”

Gu Zuo’s chest tightened: “So, big brother’s also unsure…”

Tianheng smiled: “To put it briefly, it’ll be fine if we’re more careful with everything.”

Gu Zuo hastily nodded, expressing his understanding.

In any case, when handling matters in the future, he’d think things over seventeen or eighteen times before doing them! When he had some spare time, he’d probe his surroundings with his psychic power…

Once Dragon Five and Dragon Six finished taking care of the corpses, the group set aside this matter and continued heading forwards.

Gongyi Tianheng ultimately left a word of warning: “When going out in the future, before you all successfully practice martial arts, don’t go out alone.
Form groups when traveling.
Also, pay attention to keeping your guards up.
It’s still not a problem within the Sect, but when going outside of the Sect, the sect rules are useless.
You all must improve your vigilance.”

When Tianyang and the others heard this, it was only natural that they solemnly agreed.

Seeing so many things happen in a short period of time, they were also aware of the dangers of this continent.

Gu Zuo silently sighed.

After returning, it looked like he still needed to research many more Trick Pills.
He also needed to capture some ferocious beasts and bring them back.
The Armor-Plated Rhinos that these Gongyi Clan children had basically tamed couldn’t be brought along because the flying boat was narrow and small.
The rhinos were all left in the clan.
Now was just the right time to make it up for them…

Gongyi Tianheng led them to return the flying boat, and then rode back to his valley in the Inner Sect on a flying wild beast.

The slaves who were required to guard that place, the pharmacists who’d been researching things in the caves the whole time, as well as Dragon One, Dragon Two, and all the others came out to pay their respects.

Because Tianyang and the others were people of the same clan as Tianheng, the remaining subordinates Tianheng had newly recruited also treated them differently.

When Tianyang and the other children saw Tianheng’s team, they all gave face — They knew that in the Qingyun Sect, the number of times they’d cooperate certainly wouldn’t be low.

After appearing, Tianheng ordered Dragon One and Dragon Two to take away the five remaining Tianlong Guards, assigning them to some affairs as well as explaining the Sect’s rules.
Then, he called the Gongyi Clan children over to a spot under a tree.
He explained a few matters to them: “According to the Sect rules, you all can live with me in this valley.
You can also go to live on Labor Street in residences with other nominal disciples… Which choice will you guys make?”

Several of the Gongyi Clan members furrowed their brows in deep thought.

Very quickly, Tianyang was the first to open his mouth: “Big brother, I’m going to Labor Street.”

Almost at the same time, Tianyin also said: “Labor Street.”

Seeing these two making this choice, although Tianhe and Tianxiao didn’t know their intentions, they also seemed to vaguely understand something and spoke in unison: “Me too!”

Gongyi Tianheng raised an eyebrow: “Tianyang, Tianyin, tell me why you’d make this choice?”

Gu Zuo also looked over curiously.

Tianyang pulled a long face: “If I hid in the valley, I’ll naturally want for nothing and won’t have to deal with too much work.
But if this went on for a long time, I would only be able to rely on big brother’s protection in the end, and it would be hard to help big brother with any difficulties.”

Tianyin said: “With our identities as the younger generation, only by becoming Inner Sect disciples can we truly be of assistance to the clan.
A period of hardships can let us distinguish right from wrong, make connections, scout for information, and polish our aspirations.”

Tianyang also said: “In the valley, us aristocratic young masters would still be aristocratic young masters.
Our adaptability would certainly be inferior to those who worked hard outside.”

After that, Tianyin said: “Limiting one’s exposure to the wind and rain also isn’t beneficial to practicing the path of martial arts.”

This back and forth gradually clarified the opinions within the hearts of Tianhe and Tianxiao.
In a split second, they also felt that their previous thoughts of following Tianyang and Tianyin were correct.

Gongyi Tianheng had a smile on his face as he nodded: “Very good.
You guys are different from the Tianlong Guards.
They are my death guards.
Normally, they’ll do many things in accordance to my orders.
They are utterly loyal to me, and their entire futures are tied to me.
But you guys are the Gongyi Clan’s descendants.
If you have the courage to work hard on your own, you mustn’t think about the protection I, a single person, can provide.
You all can rest easy! As clan members, we keep watch and defend one another.
With you all making such choices, my heart is greatly reassured.”

Tianyang and the others heard this praise, and their hearts were joyous.
Their faces also carried smiles.

— In the end, they weren’t old enough to prevent their emotions from showing.
Getting the praise of the eldest brother they respected so deeply, how could they contain their elation?

Off to the side, Gu Zuo saw this, and didn’t feel that it was strange.

This was the charisma of a winner in life… Even he, whose body possessed a system, had no way to resist this type of radiance.
How could that youthful generation resist when they had grown up listening to his big brother’s legendary deeds?

In any case, the more of such people the better.

At this moment, Gongyi Mingxia spoke up.
Her voice was clear and her smile was bright and beautiful: “Big brother, I’m going to live on Labor Street.”

But when these words came out of her mouth, Tianheng didn’t have enough time say anything before Gu Zuo beat him to it: “Mingxia can’t go!”

Mingxia was stunned: “W-why?”

Gu Zuo glanced at Tianheng, a little embarrassed.

Tianheng’s gaze softened.
He looked at Mingxia, and said: “Little sister really shouldn’t go.”

Mingxia saw that both of these big brothers refused, and her heart was even more unconvinced.

Gongyi Tianheng said: “Mingxia is young, and her strength is also insufficient.
Additionally, Labor Street has almost no women living there.
If you go, there’s no doubt that it’ll be very inappropriate.”

Gu Zuo also thought this way: “It’s fine for Tianyang and the others.
They might not be the strongest ones on Labor Street, but if they work together, they’ll also have some power to defend themselves.
Just as big brother said, although the Sect has many women who have extremely powerful skills, I also hope Mingxia can obtain the ability to walk the path of martial arts by herself.
But now isn’t the time.
At the very least, you need to first practice some powerful martial skills and change your former cultivation method.
Otherwise, you going to Labor Street will be the equivalent of a lamb entering the tiger’s mouth…”

Tianyang and a few others also said: “What our elder brothers are saying is correct.
Mingxia can’t go!”

Gongyi Mingxia was naturally somewhat dejected.

However, she quickly realized that she had been too eager.
Labor Street could temper her elder brothers, but to her, it really was the same as a dragon’s pool or tiger’s den.
While she needed to train herself, she couldn’t use the same tempering method that her brothers used.
It wasn’t necessary to prove oneself nor insist on taking action.

As a result, Mingxia agreed: “Okay.
Then I’ll stay in the valley.”

Tianheng saw her accept this instruction, and his tone warmed somewhat: “I’ll teach you a few sets of martial skills.
While you’re in the valley, you’ll train properly.”

Mingxia immediately became happy: “Yes, big brother!”

The matter was resolved.
Gu Zuo’s heart was also put at ease.
Once Mingxia had a certain amount of strength, it wouldn’t be too late to have her go out adventuring.
At that time, he believed that she could make progress in all aspects.

After the proper affairs were made clear, these people were handed over to the patient Dragon One by the two people.
As for Dragon Three and the other Tianlong Guards who were still receiving pointers, they worked under Dragon Two.

Gongyi Tianheng led Gu Zuo off to the side.
He wanted to discuss some matters.

Gu Zuo didn’t understand: “Big brother, what is it?”

Tianheng looked pensive: “I don’t know why, but I’ve been thinking that the attempted assassination before was still somewhat out of place.”

Gu Zuo recalled their analysis just then, and similarly felt that it was strange.
But if one carefully thought about it, there wasn’t any parts that were too fishy.

Yet, Gu Zuo didn’t have the slightest intent on lowering his guard.

His psychic power and his big brother’s insight were both very strong.

Since his big brother felt that something was fishy, then it must’ve been the effects of his insight.
Merely, no clues had been found.
As for himself, his psychic power felt that there were hidden dangers.
Of course, this also wasn’t an illusion.

Thus, there was certainly something that the two hadn’t noticed.

Gu Zuo hesitated for a moment, then said: “Big brother, besides encountering the assassins, were there any other notable things that happened today?
