Chapter 160 Soul Gathering Pool
Clouds Island.
At dusk, clusters of fiery cotton-like clouds were present in the sky. The afterglow from the sunset shone on the fiery clouds, shooting off beautiful rays.
The entire Clouds Island, was covered with a fiery dusk glow, appeared as a magnificent scenery under the afterglow of the sun. There were also many fiery red maple leaves on Clouds Island; they appeared even more enchanting in the afterglow.
The scenery on Clouds Island was unique. Once dusk came, the fire clouds in the sky and the maple leaves on the Island would compliment each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful view.
On the island, the natural spirit energies were also quite extraordinary. There were also three mines containing the fire manganese rocks.
Fire manganese was a material that could be used to forge godly weapons. It has fire properties. When a high quality fire manganese was merged into a weapon, the weapon would also gain fire attributes. If it was merged with some fire crystals, it could form into a sharp weapon with a strong heat energy.
In the Gu family, most of the martial skills they cultivated had to do with swords; the masters of the Gu family all used swords.
The Sword Mountain of the Gu family contained many treasured swords, some of which even had consciousness.
The many masters of the Gu family were all experts in refining swords; sword refinement needed many precious materials. The fire manganese was a scarce material used to refine fire type swords. When the Gu family discovered that Clouds Island had fire manganese, they went through quite a lot of trouble to sweep away the warrior forces that dwelled on the island so that they could obtain this island.
A year ago, the Yang family’s Shura King Mo Duanhun, brought thirty Shura Blood Guards and brought calamity upon Clouds Island.
In only half a day’s time, all of the Gu family’s defensive measures on Clouds Island were destroyed. The Gu family members on the island were also killed by the Shura Blood Guards, and the forces that were related to the Gu family were all extinguished completely by the Shura Blood Guards.
After one year had passed, although Clouds Island returned to the Gu family’s control, the defense on the island was still not completely reconstructed.
Fortunately because of the mysterious movements in the Fourth Demon Area, the Yang family quietly retreated the powers that were attacking the Gu and Dongfang families back to the Kyara Sea. Seizing this opportunity, the Gu family proposed a truce. The Yang family agreed since they were busy dealing with the demons from the Fourth Demon Area and prepared to negotiate details on Clouds Island.
On Clouds Island, under the biggest mining mountain containing fire manganese, there were stone towers and stone walls built. The surroundings were filled with maple trees; the fiery red maple leaves surrounded the bunch of buildings, making this area into a sea of red maple leaves.
On top of a fifty-meter tall giant stone tower, Gu Jiange and Gu Lie stood side by side, gazing into the distance.
The bright afterglow was like a blush on the sky. The beams of red light came from the sky and fell inside the tower, dragging red lines onto the floors of the tower.
When the sun slowly sank into the horizon, a messenger eagle came through the wind; its speed was extremely fast.
The messenger eagle found its target and landed straight on the stone window in front of Gu Lie. Its wings flapped twice and then stopped.
Gu Lie raised out his hand and took off the letter from the messenger eagle. He read the contents of the letter with a frown; his expression becoming more and more ugly.
Gu Lie was in the second sky of the Nirvana realm; he had quite a high position in the Gu family. This fight between the Gu and Yang families was caused by Gu Jiange. Thus, Gu Lie was put in charge of taking care of it.
The Yang family repeatedly provoked them, killing the representatives on many of the Gu family’s islands. Because of the losses of the family, the head of the Gu family was quite upset. He put all the blame on Gu Jiange, feeling quite discontent with Gu Lie. This made Gu Lie quite gloomy. When he took care of the matters concerning the Yang family, he was always very careful, fearing that there would be further problems on the subject.
“Father, what is the situation?” Gu Jiange took a step forward and leaned towards the letter.
Gi Lie’s expression was grim; he directly gave the letter to Gu Jiange and said in anger: “The Yang family is truly greedy, they actually want five islands in order for them to agree to subside the matter.”
“Five islands?” Gu Jiange’s face changed. He immediately read the contents of the letter and blankly exclaimed: “Clouds Island, Profound Shell Island, Iron Wolf Island, Gourd Island, and Evil Island! These five islands all either have mines or good medicine production; it took a lot of trouble for our Gu family to obtain each of these islands. How could the Yang family dare to ask such a big price, five islands at once!”
Gu Lie’s expression was grim as he sighed: “The family would never allow it. These five islands are too precious; they absolutely won’t give them to the Yang family. However, if we don’t make an agreement with the Yang family, the ones above us would blame everything on me! This thing is truly hard to handle…”
“Father, when we were at the Soul Gathering Pool last time, that demon seemed to… seemed to want…” Gu Jiange’s expression turned a little gloomy. He clenched his teeth and said: “Since the Yang family is going too far, we can simply go all the way and accept that demon’s terms. We will make those Yang family members who come to Clouds Island stay here forever.”
“Demons…” Gu Lie’s expression shifted, but he was still hesitant. “Although we are on unfriendly terms with the Yang family, but if we were to get involved with demons, once everything gets exposed, we would be hated by all. By then, other families would also despise our methods, and might even criticize that our methods are despicable.”
“Once all of the Yang family members are killed, who would know that it was us who did it?” Gu Jiange pondered for a moment, and urged: “Father, the time are different now. Nowadays we can work with anyone for profit. As far as I know, in the Endless Sea, there already are some people who are working with the dark dwellers in the Sevenfold Underworld. For the sake of achieving our goals, sometimes it’s not bad to accommodate to our circumstances.”
“The one that’s coming might be Mo Duanhun.” Gu Lie frowned, “Mo Duanhun is the leader of the three Shura Kings, his power is earthshaking. Unless a God realm demon comes, or else no one would be able to stop him. Once Mo Duanhun escapes, and learns that we have helped the demons come here, the two of us might not be able to stay in the Gu family anymore.”
