“Fine! If you won’t let me go out, then I’ll just find my brother myself!”
With determination, Gao Qilan marched toward Gao Qiang’s residence, feeling frustrated!
Meanwhile, Gao Qiqiang was engaged in a discussion with several elders about pressing matters!
“Family head, the entire extreme north is in turmoil; battles are erupting everywhere!”
“Additionally, we’ve observed that a significant number of devil cultivators have begun to infiltrate these ranks, looking for a chance to seize treasures and resources.”
The Grand Elder reported to Gao Qiqiang earnestly!
“What has been the response from the Ancient Body Refining Clan?”
Gao Qiqiang inquired.
“The clan leader of the Ancient Body Refining Clan hasn’t taken any significant actions. However, their tile tank has departed with a few cultivators from other regions.”
“It appears they are also on a treasure hunt, and they’ve brought the Demon Whip along.”
The Eldest Elder whispered this information.
“A devil whip?” Gao Qiqiang remarked with a slight smile. “It seems this old fellow realizes that the devil race will take advantage of the chaos to grab resources and territory.”
“He intentionally spread the treasure map of the Ancient Body Refining Clan to create confusion in the Far North, hoping to draw out the devils hiding here.”
“Now he has succeeded, but I fear the Ancient Body Refining Clan lacks the strength to eliminate these demon races.”
“Grand Elder, we must dispatch more men to eliminate the devils on sight, and we should also assist the Ancient Body Refining Clan. If we don’t eradicate the devils, they will be unable to rest or eat soundly.”
Gao Qiqiang had long anticipated the actions of the Ancient Body Refining Clan!
“Clan Master, why should we aid the Ancient Body Refining Clan when we’ve always been adversaries?”
The Eldest Elder appeared confused.
“Adversaries?” Gao Qiqiang replied with a cold smile. “Our true enemy is the Demon Clan entrenched in the extreme north. Have you noticed that, over the years, the Demon Clan has not posed any threat to us?”
“That’s because they’re recuperating. Once they regain their strength, they will pounce on us like ferocious beasts.”
“What is the Ancient Body Refining Clan compared to these fierce beasts? I’m sure that old man thinks likewise.”
“After all, their ancestors vanquished many demon races and even sealed the divine souls of the demons.”
“If the Demon Race grows stronger, will the Ancient Body Refining Clan still be able to survive?”
Gao Qiqiang’s words left several of the attendees in shock!
What they had once viewed as enemies now seemed less significant!
This situation highlighted the reality that there are no permanent friends or foes; it all hinges on whether one’s interests are at stake.
The Gao family preferred to ally with the Ancient Body Refining Clan rather than the fearsome Demon Clan!
This demonstrated the wisdom of the leadership; they never fixated solely on the immediate challenges!
“Brother, why won’t you allow me to go out anymore?”
Just as the elders and Gao Qiqiang were deep in discussion, Gao Qilan pushed the door open and confronted him!
Upon seeing Gao Qilan, Gao Qiqiang frowned but then gestured for the elders to leave.
If it had been Gao Qisheng or Gao Qijie barging in like this, they would have faced a harsh reprimand!
Yet, before Gao Qilan, Gao Qiqiang held back his anger…
“Little Lan, I’m concerned for your safety. The extreme north is chaotic and dangerous. What if someone is watching you when you go out?”
“You’re a girl. If someone with ill intentions targets you and something happens, how could I ever live with myself?”
“How could I face our deceased parents?”
Gao Qiang spoke earnestly to Gao Qilan!
“Brother, if you’re worried about me, just send two people to accompany me. I have something important to do!”
Gao Qilan stepped closer, grasping Gao Qiang’s arm and pouting in protest!
