Crossing: Leading everyone to survive

Chapter 118: The Division of the Four Great Powers

"He doesn't set any example, that's why I hate him so much and want to escape from the place that once brought me glory."

"I want to know one thing now. Why did you choose to travel with us? And you also said that you have the support of your clan behind you," Gu Chengming asked, looking straight into his eyes.

"Because of the promise."

"What promise".

Xie Guhuai sat up straight and looked at him calmly.

"The Xie family once suffered a devastating disaster, but was later rescued by a man in black. In return, the entire family must use their strength to help a chosen one with abilities similar to those of a shadow in the future."

"And I think that person is you," Xie Guhuai said, staring at him closely.

"Just because of this promise"?

"Not only that, the Xie clan has already signed a contract with him. If the contract is concluded, it will be difficult to distinguish between gods and ghosts, and no one can afford the price."

"If that's the case, how dare the Xie family's elder stop it?" Lin Muyao asked doubtfully.

"This contract is only limited to the direct lineage and has no effect on the collateral line where the great elder is. Moreover, their power has been growing recently, and he is also committed to seizing the position of patriarch. He certainly won't let the Xie family, which is about to take over, fulfill his promise."

"That means they will harm us once they get the chance, right?" Hongyu also understood the implication of Xie Guhuai's words.

"That's pretty much what I mean. Also, I'm the only one in the entire Xie family who knows that you are outsiders. The higher-ups just think you broke out from the trial ground."

Gu Chengming didn't say anything, his eyes still fixed on Xie Guhuai, but his eyes that could see through delusion didn't detect any signs of lying.

"Amin, what do you think?"

Jiang Yingxue walked closer, lay on Gu Chengming's back, and whispered in his ear.

"A person who can become the head of the Xie family is definitely not so simple. Perhaps he just wants to use us to get rid of the lineage of the Great Elder. However, it is not a bad idea to help them get rid of the lineage of the Great Elder of the Xie family, as long as the content of the contract is true."

Gu Chengming did not hide anything. To be more precise, he was telling it specifically for Xie Gu Huai to hear.

As for whether he is the person mentioned by the man in black, who cares? At least he has not seen other shadow-type chosen ones yet.

However, if they could really get help from the Xie family, perhaps they could gain a foothold in this strange world.

They are too passive now.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Is anyone there?"

Accompanied by a knock on the door, Ye Xiaomeng's soft voice came from behind the door.

Xie Guhuai first glanced at Gu Chengming, then walked forward and opened the door.

"Hey"!

As soon as the door opened, Ye Xiaomeng rushed over after seeing who it was.

Seeing this, Xie Guhuai reached out and hugged him, but when he looked up, he found that there was someone standing behind her.

"Why are you here?" Xie Guhuai's voice suddenly turned cold after he saw who it was.

"I..." The Princess of Fire Cloud Country lowered her head, not knowing where to put her hands.

"Okay, okay, she is my friend, and I have something to say to those people," Ye Xiaomeng waved her hands and then crossed her arms across her chest.

"Could you please let us in and sit down, Mr. Gu Huaida?"

Xie Guhuai smiled helplessly after hearing this, but still made way.

"Um... I'm very sorry for causing you trouble." Yan Yun'er said with her head down and her face flushed in front of the wooden table.

After a moment, seeing that no one responded, Yan Yun'er raised her head and met Hongyu's puzzled eyes.

"Well, who are you?"

Yan Yuner: “…”

"Let me introduce her. Her name is Yan Yun'er, and she is the princess of Huoyun Kingdom. She seemed to have some conflicts with you before, but later found out it was a misunderstanding, so she came to apologize," Ye Xiaomeng said as she walked to her side.

"Oh... I remember now. It's okay. We are not hurt anyway," Hongyu said lightly after hearing this. For him, no matter what the conflict is, as long as the attitude is right, everything can be negotiated.

"Wait, can you tell us what happened?" Gu Chengming asked softly.

After hearing this, Yan Yun'er lowered her head and thought, "I remember that I had only been here for a few days when I heard that several chosen ones stayed in a tent for several days without going out, and the meals had to be delivered by a special person. Then suddenly someone came to me and said that one of my maids was named by them to "deliver food, and said that you were going to do something to her. I was so angry for a moment that I..."

"Well, it was definitely Mu Yunzhou who did it," Gu Chengming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the man lying on the ground with his hands on his head. He thought there was a new enemy.

"boom"!

When Hongyu heard this, he smashed the wooden table with his fist, and then stood up with an angry look on his face.

The sudden loud noise frightened Yan Yun'er. Her neck shrank and her eyes narrowed in fear, but she still stood where she was. She was the cause of this incident and she deserved to be punched. Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and prepared to be beaten.

"Damn it! Who spread rumors about me? The image that I worked so hard to build up is completely ruined," Hongyu said depressedly.

"You scared me. When did you have an image? A negative image?" Jiang Zhilin looked at him with contempt.

"What? Haven't you noticed that I look so handsome when fighting with others these days? My eyes and temperament are just right. I just don't know why I don't have any fans."

After hearing this, Gu Chengming looked at him helplessly, "Hongyu, you are really invincible. Do you think this is a school? But you did look like a gangster at that time."

"How is that possible?" Hongyu looked at him with a sad expression after hearing this, "Xiao Ming, it's okay for others, but you don't even understand me. I'm sad." After saying this, he was about to leave.

"Slow down," Gu Chengming and Jiang Zhilin said in unison.

"Fuck..." Hongyu shouted in frustration after hearing this.

Yan Yun'er looked at the people fighting in front of her with a look of surprise.

These people were really different, different from any chosen one she had ever met. For some reason, she felt at ease being with them.

"By the way," Yan Yuner immediately walked forward and handed a black box in her hand to Jiang Zhilin.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhilin asked with a puzzled look at the black box in front of him.

Yan Yuner stretched out her hand and opened it, only to see dozens of bottles of healing potions neatly lined up inside.

"My sister asked me to bring this to you. She originally wanted to come in person, but suddenly had a temporary mission."

"Your sister is not Yan Xiaohong, is she?" Jiang Zhilin asked, looking at her flaming hair.

Yan Yun'er also nodded slightly to this.

"Oh, right, you all come from Huoyun Country. Can you tell me what the four major countries and eight major sects are?" Hongyu asked with interest.

"You don't even know what the Four Great Kingdoms are?" Yan Yun'er asked in surprise.

Hongyu also realized that he had said the wrong thing and looked at Gu Chengming with embarrassment.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. All of my friends broke out from the trial ground, and they don't know much about Upper City," Xie Guhuai stepped forward and said, just as the situation became awkward.

"The Trial Ground, no wonder you are so strong", Yan Yun'er looked at everyone with admiration after hearing this. You know, it is not an easy thing to successfully break out of the Trial Ground and reach the upper city, especially as a private war slave.

These people are also very popular in the upper city and will become the objects of competition among clans or large families.

"Then let me introduce them to you. The top four countries are Fire Cloud Country, Green Spirit Country, Snow Region Country, and Long Yuan Country, and the lower eight sects are all hidden sects. I only know about the Body Sect and the Sword Sect, and I don't know much about the other sects."

"The area where the Xie family is located is Yaoguang City in Qingling Country, and the Chen family that is still chasing you is also in it," Xie Guhuai said to Gu Chengming.

"The Chen family, the predecessor of Haoyue, is also the family that Chen Nanyue belongs to?" Gu Chengming lowered his head and thought. They killed the only son of the head of the Chen family. This kind of hatred cannot be resolved. Moreover, the first group of people who went to the city were also sent by the Chen family, and they suffered a lot at that time.

He is the kind of person who will remember a grudge for life. The Chen family has already been included in his blacklist. It is a pity that their current strength is still not enough. But they must not let him find an opportunity. Once he finds an opportunity, no one in the Chen family will be spared.
