A carriage with the symbol of the Excellency Xu Shi Group was flying in the air.
“Are you sure it is the mechanical weapon of the Southern Cross Army?” A huge statured individual asked with red wine, the food in front of him was not touched, he was concentrating on tasting the red wine that was transforming in his mouth, his expression constantly changing.
His face was squarish, his small eyes disallowed people to see whether he was happy or angry. He wore a clean pure white robe, seated perfectly straight even while sipping on red wine.
Yan Xia, Excellency Xu Shi Group chief deacon.
“Absolutely sure.” Gong Yi Xiu laughed lightly, his tone serious: “It is called the Saber Toothed Tiger, Bronze rank, it definitely is a mechanical weapon from the Southern Cross Army. After so many years, the number of mechanical weapons from them, are so pathetic, this is such a good chance, if we let go of it, we deserve to be struck by lightning!”
Gong Yi Xiu’s appearance was handsome and delicate, his face always holding on to an indistinct smiling expression, he sipped on his wine, patiently looking at the ribs, piece after piece he cut them up, and then used a fork to put it into his mouth. He was very fussy and full of etiquette, his body language was very intimate.
“I heard that the Hua Brothers died in their hands.” A big person with a full face of beard, looking very fierce said: “To be able to get rid of the Hua Brothers, their strength is not weak!”
The Big person was called Wu Nan, he was Humble Forest Planet 39th strongest.
“Leave it to Big Brother.” A voice that did not seem to care said out from the corner. It was from a frail figure, one hand holding onto a lamb leg, the other hand gulping down wine with all his might, his cheeks were very red, eyes intoxicated and hazy, his whole body was soaked with oil.
Suo Guang, Humble Forest Planet ranked 52nd.
“That’s true!” Gong Yi Xiu nodded his head in agreement: “For a brat like me ranked 79th, I can honestly just eat soft rice in the corner.”
Yan Xia was awoken from his daze in drinking the good wine, he was not modest and casually remarked: “If you screw it up, you’ll have it real bad.”
Yan Xia’s tone was very cold, he had sufficient power to say so, he was ranked 20th in Humble Forest Planet, even compared to Master Deacon, he was just 7 ranks short.
Gong Yi Xiu laughed bitterly as he waved his hand: “Big brother, you actually have no confidence in me, you have hurt me so badly!”
So Guang who was in the corner stuffed with meat, said with his mouth full: “machine techniques whatsoever, Ah Xiu can be reliable.”
Wu Nan nodded his head: “That’s right, but Ah Xiu, you sure you are able to create copies?”
Gong Yi Xiu patted his chest, his tone filled with a strong sense of self confidence: “That’s right, as long as you give me the real mechanical weapon from Southern Cross Army, I can definitely create copies of it successfully! In truth, all my copies are already very close to the real thing.”
“I have seen your work before, it’s really not bad.” Yan Xia opened his eyes and nodded: “I have talked about this business with the Master before, he supports it very much. You all also know that Master has very deep connections with Onyx Soul, for him to support us, we are not some small fries anymore. But, the profits are split 70% to the master, and the rest is shared among us.”
Suo Guang mumbled to himself: “The master is taking too much!”
“Shut up!” Yan Xia snorted, the atmosphere and temperature of the room dropped, Suo Guang’s body froze. Yan Xia shot him a glance, and said coldly: “I do not want to hear those kind of words. Our movements this time round, are taboo. The Gu Family’s contributions are very ample every year. The Xu Shi Group never meddled with other families internal affairs, if we were to aggravate all the old people from families, at that time our master will not help us.”
The rest of them were silent.
As though Yan Xia did not see anything, he continued: “With Master’s interference, the mechanical weapon can then be sold to every part of Onyx Soul, 30%, is more than enough for us to spend. Also, 70% seems like a lot, but above Master, who else is there that he has to give to?”
Gong Yi Xiu laughed lightly, he broke the silence: “That’s right, who knows, I can even be the first mechanical engineer.”
Wu Nan’s expression came back to natural, and he said: “Let’s just hope the Gu Family will see the same as us.”
Yan Xia sipped on his red wine, after a while, he asked: “Do they have the rights not to?”

“The four people coming are The Chief Deacon of the Xu Shi Group, Yan Xia, Wu Nan, Suo Guang and Gong Yi Xiu.” Mu Lei’s face was dark, although only four out of the entire Xu Shi Group was coming, but anyone who saw the list of names that were coming, will not feel lucky at all.
Yan Xia!
This person’s power was enough to sweep the entire Gu Family. He was very ruthless, unreasonable, and hands were soaked with fresh blood.
Although the difference between the ranks of 20 and 50 is 30, but the 2 martial artists are of different grades. The Hua brothers together, are still not worthy of fighting Yan Xia. Let’s say, if the top 50 martial artists are at the top of the food chain of Humble Forest Planet, then Yan Xia is at the peak of the top.
He was at the highest point, which also just a step away.
Gu Xue’s expression became better, the arduous and painful torment she had been through forged her heart to become stronger, she was able to resist the despair and oppress the emotions in her heart, as she did her best to calm herself down: “Have you found out what is their motive?”
“No.” Mu Lei shook his head, his gaze at a loss.
Do the heavens want the Gu Family to die…

Tang Tian was immersed in the five strange hand gestures, to the point that he forgot about everything else. The five hand gestures, each of them had their own marvels, Tang Tian had decided to differentiate them as grasping flower gesture, weeping sword gesture, angry fist gesture, formless spirit gesture, imposing gesture.
These five hand gestures, as compared to the current martial techniques, were entirely different. Each of the hand gesture, corresponded to a meridian, and the five hand gestures, corresponded to five different meridians.
