Chapter 594 Gu Family Members [Fourth Update]
"Although you have the Guest Token, Brother Jing Yan, it’s best that you still don’t leave the territory of Pill Country. They might not dare to confront you openly, but it’s hard to say what they might do in secret. It’s easy to dodge an overt spear but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow, so you still need to be cautious," Hu Donghe added with a warning.
"In the short term, I indeed have no plans to leave Pill Country," Jing Yan nodded in response.
After conversing with Hu Donghe for a while longer, Jing Yan took his leave.
Heavenly Origin Continent, the Ancient Family!
The Ancient Family was one of the Seven Great Families of the Heavenly Origin Continent and was said to have a history of thousands of years. This family had already existed before the great war between humans and gods.
The Seven Great Families had incredibly deep foundations, with each family possessing strength comparable to that of Holy City. However, the current Seven Great Families tended to act with discretion. Moreover, they all submitted to the leadership of Holy City, at least outwardly, respecting the Holy Master as their leader.
In a detached courtyard of the Ancient Family Mansion within East Pass County,
a young man with a tall and thin figure, and a handsome face stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a black-bearded elder who bowed and spoke respectfully.
The Ancient Family controlled eight counties in the Heavenly Origin Continent, and East Pass County was only one of them.
"Is that Jing Yan still within Pill Country?" The young man asked with slightly parted lips and an indifferent voice.
"Yes! We’ve just received word that Jing Yan has obtained the Pill Spirit City Guest Token. Pill Spirit City has spread this news across the continent, clearly expressing their intention to protect this Jing Yan," the black-bearded elder answered with his head bowed.
"What on earth is Hu Donghe thinking? Why is he treating Jing Yan so favorably?" The young man’s brow furrowed slightly.
