Dragon Monarch
Chapter 220 - Conspiracy and Revenge
The Gu Clan
The fight between Lin Yan and Gu Lang was over. The members of the Gu clan immediately left the place after hearing the cry of the Gu clan's Patriarch.
“Let's go back. Many things to discuss for now!” The patriarch of the Gu clan instantly disappeared in an instant as it was still in a slightly bad mood.
All of them immediately went to the Patriarch's residence because indeed the Gu clan would get a little even because of the incident.
Although the Great Elder of the Gu clan had already explained about the situation beforehand, there would definitely be some disgruntled members of the Gu clan and would definitely ignite flames as well in order for the other Gu clan members to revolt.
As the Great Elder of the Gu clan said, the three brothers had been too lenient towards their current clan members so many of them were doing as they pleased as Elder Gu Rong had done.
Although only a prediction, the three brothers felt that Elder Gu Rong had planned something to take the Patriarch position. There were three other Elders who agreed with him. Even so, the three of them remained patient to wait for whether Elder Gu Rong could change or not.
But in fact, the patience of the three of them did not bear fruit at all so the three decided to change the way they managed the clan.
Patriarchal Residence
Right now, all the Patriarch family members had gathered except for the other two clan members who were having affairs outside the clan, both of them were elder brother Gu Yuena and son of the Great Elder of the Gu clan.
Moreover, Lin Yan and Huan Caiyi who were not members of the Gu clan were also present.
“We will discuss about Elder Gu Rong later during the clan meeting. Right now, we will be discussing about Lin Yan and Yin'er. I will hasten their wedding ceremony and have summoned Gu Yang and Gu Feng back to the clan. It is likely that tomorrow they will both arrive at the time of the wedding ceremony conducted at night.” The Gu clan patriarch spoke.
“Did they not want to ask my opinion at all?” Asked Lin Yan inwardly.
“Is it not too fast?” Ask Gu Mien.
“No, faster is better because there is information from Gu Yang regarding the request of the Moon Kingdom.” Reply Patriarch of the Gu clan.
“Request?” Gu Shen asked in astonishment. As long as they were in the Moon Kingdom, the Royal family had never asked for anything at all.
“Yes. For our contribution to the Moon Kingdom, we are required to send some clan members to complete a special mission. It is about ancient ruins near the border. That said, many strong cultivators from Star Kingdom appeared there, chances are they found something valuable.”
“And the Moon Kingdom asked us to send some Sky Realm level cultivators to check it out. Although this was only a reconnaissance task, it was still possible that a fight could have occurred. I was planning on sending Gu Yang and Gu Feng initially. But, with the presence of Lin Yan, I want them to go threesome.” The Gu clan patriarch said his plan.
“Why do I feel like I'm already a member of the Gu clan? I don't want to change my name to Gu Yan.” Inner Lin Yan once again.
“Do you have an opinion, Lin Yan?” Asked the Patriarch of the Gu clan towards Lin Yan who had been silent since then.
Out of respect for the Gu clan, Lin Yan simply shook his head and delayed the plan of coming to the Dragon Valley once more.
“Good, if so, prepare a wedding ceremony like the Gu clan has done in the Snow Goddess Temple that we have brought from the Star Kingdom, the old location of the Gu.” clan The patriarch of the Gu clan was satisfied with Lin Yan's attitude of being the son-in-law of the Gu clan.
“Yin'er.. accompany Lin Yan to his room.” Gu Shen's orders towards Gu Yin.
Gu Yin nodded and immediately led Lin Yan away from the room along with Huan Caiyi as well as followed by Gu Yuena.
After the departure of the four of them, Gu Lan spoke, “Is there anything hidden?”
“You are smart as always. Yes it is true, the request this time seems to have been planned. I don't understand why the Royal Family suddenly ordered the Gu clan to make a move. There must be something about it. Also, the ruins that Gu Yang, Gu Feng and Lin Yan will head to is an ancient city called Long City in the past.” Reply Patriarch of the Gu clan.
“You mean, those ruins were the ruins of the Long clan before forming the Kingdom?” Gu Shen asked in surprise.
“Absolutely. I'm sure that the Long clan intentionally did this or that there is indeed something precious left behind there. Which is the main problem, why did the Royal Family send our clan members who just moved. You understand what I mean.” The Gu clan patriarch made a speculation.
Everyone in the room instantly knew that there was someone in the Moon Kingdom working together with the Long clan. And why did the Patriarch of the Gu clan send Gu Yang and Gu Feng, of course it was due to the strength of Gu Feng who was the son of the Great Elder of the Gu clan who was never known by anyone his level of strength except the Patriarch family.

Somewhere not too far from the Triangle Hill
Right now, it was seen Gu Rong along with some of his family members coming out of the Gu clan.
While on the move, Gu Rong stared in a certain direction and immediately left to go briefly to his family members.
Gu Rong continued to move for a few minutes then came to a halt when he saw a figure of a cloaked man sitting on a boulder.
“It looks like you failed, Gu Rong!” said the man.
“There are obstacles that make everything fall apart. So, what should we do now?” Gu Rong asked a little cautiously.
“You have disappointed me. Princess Gu Shen is a legend that exists in your clan because she is a user of Black Ice qi. You're too impatient at all.” Reply to the man with a slightly cold tone.
“What?” Gu Rong was shocked and immediately cursed his son for wanting Gu Yin so badly. He really wanted to kill his son right now.
“We can ignore that for now. I have made connections with some members of the Moon Imperial Family so they must send a member of the Gu clan! Your current task, eliminate them, with your strength, will not be difficult to remove a member of the Gu clan of the ordinary Sky Realm level. When that happens, I will take care of the rest in order for the Patriarch of the Gu clan to send either the Elders or Gu Shen, the current strongest Elder of the Gu clan!” The man in the robes.
“Alright, it seems the Li clan members have found me. He was the most troublesome person because he was able to track me down. Go, don't disappoint me this time! I'll play a little with him!” The cloaked man disappeared in an instant from Gu Rong's sight.
Staring at that, Gu Rong clenched his hands. “Klan Gu, you will pay a heavy price, because you are dead, your three sons will bear your sins. Even if I am unable to keep up with the three of them, I will make the three of them suffer by eliminating their descendants one by one!”
After that, Gu Rong disappeared. No one knew about Gu Rong's personal grudge with someone who was the Patriarch's parent, the Great Elder of the Gu clan and Gu Shen.
