Fang Yuan heard ‘martial uncle’ and felt a little emotional. He raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, asking, “Which room is Zhang Wenbin staying in?”

“Martial Uncle Zhang is staying in room four in the backyard, but he hasn’t come out in the past two days. He should be in closed door cultivation, does Martial Uncle Fang want a disciple to pass on a message?”

“There’s no need.”

Fang Yuan knew that Zhang Wenbin had been hiding his whereabouts recently. Since he didn’t show his face in front of others, he didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he said, “Is senior Zhao here?”

“Yes, Martial Uncle Zhao just came back. He’s in room two.”

“Okay, that’s all for now. Continue with your work.”

Fang Yuan nodded, threw him a primeval stone, and then walked toward the backyard.

Knock knock.

Fang Yuan gently knocked on the door.

“Senior, it’s me.”

Soon, the door opened and Zhao Hede stood in front of him with surprise.

“Little junior, why are you here?”

He warmly invited Fang Yuan in. “Come, come, have a seat. I’ll go and pour you a cup of tea.”

“Senior, there’s no need to trouble you.” Fang Yuan pulled him to sit down.

Zhao Hede laughed heartily. “Sigh, your trip to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm must’ve been tough. How was it, how was your harvest?”

“It was alright.”

Fang Yuan smiled. “There were some twists and turns, but I have obtained the Sunlight Gu.”

“Hahaha! This way, Wan Qian can be saved.”

Zhao Hede praised him. “You did well this time, you saved a good seedling for our sect. When the time comes, Master will definitely reward you handsomely.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Fang Yuan asked about his purpose for this trip.

“Oh right, Senior, what did you come out of the mountain to participate in this auction for?”

“Little junior, did you also go to the auction?”

Zhao Hede was a little surprised.

“I have some connections in Fanshu City, so I got an entry token.”

“I see…” Zhao Hede nodded, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Fang Yuan simply said, “If it’s a sect secret and it’s inconvenient for Senior to say, I won’t ask.”

“Sigh, that’s not the case. Actually, if you were in the sect, you would be the one who came out today.”

Zhao Hede let out a light breath. “It’s just that this matter involves a lot of things, and I doesn’t know where to start.”

Fang Yuan was very interested and smiled. “I have been worrying about cultivating for the past two days without any results, and I’m very annoyed. I’d like to listen to your stories and broaden my horizons.”

“Heh, you think I am a storyteller.” Zhao Hede laughed. He poured a cup of tea for both of them and said slowly.

“A few days ago, Master was uneasy. He used the Fortune-telling Gu for divination, and the divination was strange and messy but did not point to anything, so he asked First Elder and Second Elder to help stabilize the divination, but in the end…”

Saying this, Zhao Hede paused, and his eyes showed a hint of worry. “It is the chaotic disaster star phenomenon.”

“Chaotic disaster star phenomenon?”

Fang Yuan had no knowledge of divination, and he had never heard of this term before.

But for some reason, he suddenly thought of the monster race he had read about in the Gu Demon Sect manuscript.

Zhao Hede explained, “I won’t talk about the specifics, and I don’t understand what Master said either, but later, he ordered me to go to Fanshu City to participate in this auction, and to bid for all the unclear objects at all costs.”

Fang Yuan frowned slightly. “If it’s just this… you can’t really say that it implicates anything, right?”

Zhao Hede nodded, “If it’s just this, it naturally won’t implicate anything. But what’s difficult is that the other big sects in the Yan Shen Empire also got the news and rushed over. They’re probably also here for what Master said.”

“Moreover, the conflict between us and the Gu Demon Sect has been getting more and more intense recently. It has already reached the point where we want the succeeding disciples to hold the fort. If we create enmity with the other sects because of this during the auction, I’m afraid…”

Zhao Hede did not say too much. He did not want his junior to be too worried about this. He only picked out a few concise pieces of information and said them in one sentence.

Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, and he nodded slowly.

He might not know less than Zhao Hede.

With all the information in the past, the Gu Immortal Sect was facing an unprecedented crisis.

Gu Zhenren wanted something, and the other large sects also wanted it.

Everyone would definitely fight over this thing, pushing that unknown thing to an unimaginably high price.

The Gu Immortal Sect was currently also at the brink of falling out with the Gu Demon Sect.

If they bought the item at all costs, the Gu Immortal Sect would become the target of public criticism.

The Gu Demon Sect would definitely use the opportunity to incite others, causing those sects that were usually friendly to only watch from the sidelines, or even add insult to injury.

Zhao Hede saw him like this, and could not help but pat Fang Yuan on the shoulder to comfort him.

“Don’t worry, little junior, don’t worry. Just cultivate well. No matter what happens, Master is still on top, isn’t he?”

Fang Yuan shook his head. “Master can’t always protect us. If we forcefully bid a high price for the item that master described, I’m afraid these people will make a move on the same day.”

Zhao Hede’s expression became solemn, and a majestic aura was revealed.

“So what if those kids from the Qilian Sect and Liuyun Sect join forces? I’m not afraid of them.”

Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. “This is no different from falling out with them. If we fight, the Gu Demon Sect will watch the show, and they will benefit instead.”

“This…”

Zhao Hede hesitated.

What Fang Yuan said was indeed reasonable.

But there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he sighed and said, “Master gave a death order. That thing cannot fall into the hands of other sects no matter what.”

Fang Yuan thought of something and suddenly had an idea.

“Senior, I have a plan…”

“Oh?”

Zhao Hede leaned in and listened. After a while, his eyes lit up. “Pfft, you two actually… Hahaha, not bad, not bad.. Interesting.”
