45 Chapter 45: Forum opens

The remnant members were having a tough time in the wilderness due to the interference of a strange cult group during their escape.

Luckily they held on until they met up with the Zhao clan's reinforcement team.

But that's of no concern to the now scowling Gu Patriarch as he watched the Envoy leave.

'this Nangong Jiang is becoming irritating!' He thought inwardly while tapping his fingers lightly on the throne's arm rest.

'This Envoy might prove useful.

He seems to be out for himself alone, if not he wouldn't have divulged that much information'.

Gu Lin Fang then looked at the others in the hall and said, "what do you all think?, Anything to add?".

He was still very curious about a lot of things, how was the faction run and so on. It had to be known that, Gu clan has never been invited to such meetings since sixty years ago!.

Gu Yu Xing adjusted in his seat and had an expression that seemed like he wishes to save something.

"Speak..."Gu Lin Fang responded curtly.

"Lord father I agree with Mister Shen, the Sun Desert faction isn't as harmonious as it seems and we need to exercise some amount of caution" Gu Yu Xing spoke quickly while making light gestures with his hand, something Gu Lin Fang had come to notice anytime the young man was thinking.

"..."

Noticing he had everyone's attention, he said, "within the faction, there are four separate parties.

The Chivalrous side led by Cui Shu Lan with the five great clans standing behind him, Nangong Jiang, The Wei clan and the Clan's regarded as evil.

Out of this four, Nangong Jiang and the Wei clan were the most powerful".

Gu Lin Fang who had been paying attention, noticed his wording and couldn't help asking "were?..."

"Yes, something strange seemed to have happened to the Wei clan recently that made them less attentive to the happenings in the faction, I believe that was six months ago.

With them no longer suppressing him, Nangong Jiang has been making slight changes" Yu Xing explained what he had understood based on rumors and facts circulating around.

Gu Lin Ju who had been silent, then asked the question Gu Lin Fang was confused about, "why did you separate the Wei family from the other dark clans?.

Shouldn't they be working hand in hand?".

But Gu Yu Xing suddenly responds with a sneer, "the Wei clan disdains the very thought, most of the wrong happening is because of their disgusting pride.

Especially because they had once been in the central plains before their defeat at the hands of the Wudang and Shaolin sects.

They were known with a different name before, {Ming Cult}!".

""What?!!"" Gu Ji Hung and Ji Wan shouted at the name.

Gu Lin Fang rested backwards and looked at the two without a word.

"They were a faction, whose name rang through the entire realm during the early years of the new era" Gu Ji Wan explained with a sigh and Gu Lin Fang reevaluated this clan in his head.

'A world wide fame, I can't even begin to imagine... Wudang sect again, old monsters.

I wonder how strong they are.' Gu Lin Fang silently thought about the whole event and how grand it would have been to see them.

He remembered the last time he looked at their location, the central plains only had three things marked boldly on the map, Wudang sect, Shaolin sect and Luoyang City.

Those were the three main powers there, the rest were left in small fonts.

While he was thinking, Gu Yu Xing continued "and because of the indifference, Cui Shu Lan and Nangong Jiang worked quickly.

The dark clans were then suppressed to the point that no one is willing to stand at the forefront, because they would be facing two parties."

Gu Ji Hung clicked his tongue while shaking his head, "it's a pity".

"I'm afraid, during the Chaos none of the dark clans moved except us who got involved.

So..." Gu Yu Xing stopped without completing his words.

But they all quickly understood, Gu Lin Fang laughed,"They want to use me as a chicken to scare monkeys?".

'Hahahaha you dare use me, Me!! As a chicken? Hahahaha! good good good.' he laughed wildly in his heart as the [Arrogant] personality effect kicked in.

"The dark clans want to push me forward as well, don't worry. I'll gladly take the position and make you all submit!.

There can only be one voice, and that's my Gu Lin Fang's voice!" Gu Lin Fang says condescendingly.

[DING!]

[ETERNAL GLORY'S FORUM ARE NOW OPEN!]

[Dear players.....]

A long string of notifications suddenly appeared in his vision.

This gave him a huge shock but then he quickly calmed down, He looked at Gu Yu Xing and smiled, "Good boy, have someone explore the tunnels and map out what leads to what.

Also...".

With a casual tone, "Do you know how strong Nangong Jiang is?".

Gu Yu Xing frowned , "From what I hear, He fought against ten Nascent soul experts from the western Highlands and won by killing six, the rest fled.

But from all we know, it might just be an exaggeration but it shouldn't be too far from the truth, since he was made the city lord".

"I see" Gu Lin Fang acted as though he dismissed the thought but inwardly, he began to weigh his options on the fastest way to increase his strength.

'He should be a peak Nascent soul expert with good gear and high level skills too, the quality is another question.

That's the thing with this world, you can never accurately judge anyone's strength.

Good, good, good, I love the challenge!' as he was lost in thought, Gu Ji Wan suddenly came forward and went on his knees, looking all old and wrinkly. Compared to Lin Fang and Ji Hung, he looked really old.

"I, Gu Ji Wan, Swear my allegiance to..." The man began swearing, there was no notification, so Gu Lin Fang was feeling rather impatient but still acted pleased.

He walked forward and helped this distant cousin up, 'Hopefully, your able to reach Nascent soul with me granting you the bloodline later'.

When all these were done, He gave Gu Lin Ju the sword skill to practice and dismissed everyone saying he needs to be alone to consolidate his new realm.

_______________

As soon as Gu Lin Fang was alone, He brought up the forum and found that it was rather lively at this time.

'At the rate I should be far stronger than the players..."

Suddenly, a notification sound played.

[Complete NPC functions unlocked!]

As it did not come with any further information, it seemed that He would have to figure it out as time goes on. In any case, it would probably have something to do with the ways that NPCs interacted with players, such as handing out quests, buying and selling goods, and imparting skills.

Gu Lin Fang continued looking through the notifications and forum, 'Ah forget it, just add to the other things I still need to study.'

The players were excited as they began to chat, some were already trash talking about each other's mother's.

Soon Gu Lin Fang saw a post that interested him, it was a post by a lady name Long Su Wen with a huge golden VIP letters next to her name.

"Hi guys, Guess what? It's your favorite strategy guide Wen Wen ^^.

As you all know, I was one of the lucky few who were able to get VIP slot and I tell you, it's glorious!!.

We got a recap on the recent events happening around the world of Eternal Glory!! How awesome is that?!! Teehee!.

Unknown to them, Gu Lin Fang's expression was really dark right now as he quickly checked his clan tree.
