Chapter 953: Chapter 953: The Secret of Bagua Gate!
Xu Pingchang’s eyes carried a look of reminiscence as he said:
“All of this is related to an expert from the Bagua Gate who appeared in the Capital City twenty-five years ago.”
“Bagua Gate?” Zhou Yu frowned.
“What kind of sect is that?”
Xu Pingchang froze montarily, not expecting Zhou Yu had never heard of the Bagua Gate.
At this point, the dicine King Valley Master stepped in to explain:
“Zhou Yu, the Bagua Gate is a reclusive force similar to the Taoist Sect, but its numbers are far fewer.”
“It’s said that each generation of disciples in the Bagua Gate never exceeds eight.”
“Their existence is extrely mysterious, and their lives are solely dedicated to divination and understanding the Way, rarely involving themselves in worldly affairs.”
“According to the records of our dicine King Valley, their divinations have never failed.”
So accurate?
Zhou Yu’s face showed astonishnt.
Xu Pingchang nodded repeatedly.
“Indeed.”
“There has long been a saying among the upper echelons of the Capital City: ‘The Bagua Gate rarely divines, but when they do, the prophecy is certain to co true.'”
Though Zhou Yu remained skeptical, he managed to conceal his doubts.
He said calmly:
“Continue.”
Xu Pingchang swallowed hard and continued:
“At the ti, when this expert appeared, many top-tier forces invited him, but he refused them all.”
“Due to a historical connection between their ancestors and this expert, the Kyoto Yan Family managed to have the opportunity to consult him for a divination.”
“The question the Yan Family asked in their divination was: who would be their greatest enemy over the next fifty years.”
“The answer this expert gave was the Yan City Lin Family.”
“Naturally, this result left the Yan Family skeptical.”
“After all, the difference in power between the two families was like heaven and earth. If the Yan Family was akin to a nationwide financial conglorate, then the Lin Family resembled nothing more than a small community shop.”
“How could such a disparate force pose a threat to the Kyoto Yan Family?”
“But considering the expert hailed from the Bagua Gate, they dared not dismiss it entirely. At that ti, the Yan Family’s third young lady and Lin Wanhao happened to be attending Shanghai University. The Kyoto Yan Family then instructed the third young lady to pursue Lin Wanhao in hopes of completely sabotaging the Lin Family’s future.”
“Yet unexpectedly, Lin Wanhao paid no heed to the third young lady’s advances and instead got together with Bai Yuzhen from the Shanghai Bai Family.”
“Later, the Shanghai Bai Family began covertly protecting the Yan City Lin Family, which caused the Kyoto Yan Family to harbor resentnt and plan to eradicate the Lin Family completely.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.
“What a ridiculous ss.”
“All because of a divination, the Kyoto Yan Family started targeting the Lin Family?”
“Can such a thing truly be taken seriously?”
Xu Pingchang replied matter-of-factly:
“For top-tier forces in the Capital City, anything that poses a potential threat to their existence is treated with utmost seriousness.”
Saying this, Xu Pingchang suddenly looked at Zhou Yu with a peculiar expression.
“Besides, hasn’t your ergence already validated the prophecy of that expert?”
“Because of you, the Yan City Lin Family has, in less than a year, risen to beco a top-tier force that spans the entire Qin State.”
“At this rate, it won’t take many years before they beco a real threat to the Kyoto Yan Family, would it?”
Hearing these words, even the Valley Master’s eyes flickered with surprise.
Xu Pingchang’s words seed to hold so truth.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Pingchang.
Although Xu Pingchang was a bit unnerved by Zhou Yu’s gaze, he didn’t look away.
After a long mont, Zhou Yu spoke calmly:
“I won’t kill you.”
Xu Pingchang’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly began to express his thanks.
But Zhou Yu continued:
“However, I won’t release you either.”
“Stay here for now, and we’ll talk after I return from the Blood Gu Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Pingchang’s complexion turned stiff instantly.
Following Zhou Yu’s orders, the Valley Master arranged for Xu Pingchang to be detained.
Soon after, the Valley Master looked at Zhou Yu with a solemn expression.
“Young friend Zhou, do you truly intend to go to the Blood Gu Clan?”
Zhou Yu replied:
“Valley Master, just call Zhou Yu.”
“Visiting the Blood Gu Clan is a journey I must undertake,” Zhou Yu’s tone was resolute.
This journey was not only to save soone but also to uncover matters regarding the Soul Bead and to search for clues about the second rebel under the old man.
“Valley Master, if you know how to enter the Blood Gu Clan, I ask for your guidance.”
The Valley Master sighed and then said:
“So be it.”
“Given the debt my dicine King Valley owes you, no matter what, I will assist you.”
“Ordinarily, with soone like you having done so much for my dicine King Valley, I should undertake the trip to the Blood Gu Clan myself. But, with the chaos the dicine King Valley has recently endured, I must stay to oversee things.”
At this point, he suddenly looked toward Azha nearby.
“How about this, I’ll have Azha accompany you.”
“Azha, will you run this errand for your father?”
Azha responded enthusiastically:
“Of course!”
But Zhou Yu was montarily stunned.
“She doesn’t know Martial Arts. Wouldn’t she be in danger if she goes?”
The Valley Master smiled slightly and said:
“That’s where you’re mistaken.”
“Many factions within the Blood Gu Clan have positive relations with my dicine King Valley, so Azha will face little danger. What’s more, the factions allied with us will likely extend you courtesy and assistance.”
At this point, the Valley Master’s tone suddenly beca grave.
“However, this is as much as I can do for you.”
“I must warn you, Hei Gu’s faction holds significant power within the Blood Gu Clan. Should you cross them, I won’t be able to offer assistance. Knowing I will not dissuade you from this journey, all I can say is, take care.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu imdiately cupped his hands in gratitude.
“Thank you, Valley Master, and thanks to Azha as well.”
Azha grinned and cheerfully said:
“You’re welco!”
“Brother Zhou Yu, when shall we set off?”
Zhou Yu chuckled.
“Let’s leave tomorrow morning.”
“Alright.”
