Even though they had long expected such an outcome, when they heard him speak so decisively now, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, they truly felt fortunate that they were not enemies of Gu Yan, otherwise, these malicious plans would be directly aimed at them.

Feeling their fear, Gu Yan glanced at them and said coldly, "You should know that 'nothing ventured, nothing gained!' Do you have any second thoughts now? If you do, you'd better just say it outright..."

Upon hearing the threat implied in Gu Yan's words, all of them exchanged glances and quickly shook their heads.

They knew that they couldn't have any other opinions now; otherwise, they would surely end up on Gu Yan's blacklist!

Having clear thoughts on this, they shook their heads vigorously, "Grandmaster Gu, what are you talking about! Why would we ever go soft-hearted?"

"Exactly!"

"Grandmaster Gu, at any time, we definitely stand side by side with you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing their nervous words, Gu Yan's expression improved significantly.

Soon, he nodded lightly with unyielding calm and said, "It's good that you're not soft-hearted! If you really do, I'll have to cleanse the door! Alright, let's now decide on the specific details!"

"Okay!"

When speaking like this, they came closer and quickly started discussing.

Previously, in order to quickly capture this Wood Series True Qi, he planned to design an array or something again.

However, the likelihood of success was not very high.

But now, with these four people as leverage, the chance of success has increased by at least tenfold...

After half an hour, Gu Zhentian, Gu Miedi, Gu Youran, and Gu Kuangren came out from there.

At this moment, they were truly a bit fearful.

The reason for this was because they had just heard that extremely detailed plan proposed by Gu Yan...

In their view, after using this malicious plan, the four of them really wouldn't have any opportunity left.

"Captain, later on, those four will die, just think about it, it's super thrilling!"

Gu Kuangren chuckled, taking the lead in speaking.

At this moment, he was genuinely happy because he knew that once Xiaobei died, his vendetta would be avenged!

Upon hearing such absolute excited words, the three of them frowned deeply...

They knew that in the current situation, those four were definitely doomed...

They didn't remain too entangled in this, their focus was on matters after their deaths.

Currently, it's the day of the triennial duel with the Four Great Hidden Families.

Logically, no matter the outcome, no one gets hurt...

Thus, they couldn't harm these four lives...

But now, they were doomed...

To die here like this would surely incite the madness of the Four Great Hidden Families, then they would fight a battle without rest...

"What's wrong with you? They are going to die, aren't you happy?"

Seeing them frown, Gu Kuangren rubbed his face in displeasure.

Gu Kuangren was truly displeased!

Because he found they weren't as happy as he was.

"This guy really has a problem with his brain!"

Upon hearing Gu Kuangren's annoyed question, they lightly sighed.

Soon, with expressionless faces, they expressed all their concerns.

After hearing these concerns, Gu Kuangren lightly waved his hand and said casually, "These are small matters, sooner or later we'll have a battle with those four hidden families, so there's really no problem!"

Speaking of this, seeing those people were not very convinced, he continued, "Think about it, we can spot this issue, those elders in the families surely can too, and since they aren't too troubled, it means the problem isn't significant, right!"

Upon hearing such gentle explanation, they slightly frowned...

They found these words indeed had merit...

Seeing their expressions turned calm, Gu Kuangren took a deep breath, changing the subject, "Alright, instead of continuing to dwell on this matter, let's think about how we're going to hoodwink them later. If we suddenly invite them for help, they'll surely have thoughts, therefore, they might not agree at all."

Glancing at Gu Kuangren, they said coldly, "This is our territory, whether they agree or not, isn't it up to us?"

"Although that is true, we still need them to willingly cooperate as much as possible! As Grandmaster Gu mentioned before, if they're unwilling, it'll affect the effectiveness of the array."

"This..."

While hesitating like this, they frowned deeply...

Previously, Gu Yan said, they must be willing to make sure the array works.

If they had resistance in their hearts, the array simply wouldn't work...

Shortly, Gu Zhentian looked at the three of them, smiling as he spoke, "Actually, the solution is simple, we just give them a cake."

"Cake?"

Seeing the three of them completely puzzled about his meaning, Gu Zhentian chuckled, "Yes, a cake! We can say we need their help, and if they help us, we'll concede in the duel, even relinquishing all rights this time."

"This... But in this case, we'll lose out big time!"

Upon hearing such direct words, Gu Zhentian frowned, "Idiots, they can't even manage to leave alive, we'll lose nothing!"

"This... You're right!"

After a brief contemplation, they laughed!

Indeed!

First draw them in with a cake now, let them agree, and in the end, they wouldn't get a bite anyway...

...

At night, after they had devised their plan, they gleefully approached the place where Xiaobei and others were staying...

Upon seeing them, Xiaobei was slightly surprised and spoke, "Why did you all come? If it's just to inform about the duel time, one person is enough!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's words, Gu Zhentian took a step forward, speaking with familiarity, "Haha, we came to have a nice chat with you, previously, we were all on edge, too tense, now let's have a good chat."

With that, Gu Zhentian raised his hand, shaking those vegetables in his hand...

Afterward, Gu Zhentian continued, "We brought these vegetables here, you can't just let us leave, can you!"

Though not fully understanding what they were up to, Xiaobei responded calmly.

"How could I? We haven't eaten, let's eat together!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Saying this, he gave a signal, soon, and quickly entered together.

Xiaobei looked at them, slightly squinting.

Xiaobei was truly unclear about what they intended to do, but Xiaobei knew they surely had something, otherwise, they wouldn't proactively come...

"We'll handle whatever comes our way! Let's first see what's happening!"

With this thought, Xiaobei quickly followed suit...

Soon, the eight sat on opposite sides of the table, a dozen plates of various delicacies placed on the table...

Glancing at Xiaobei and others, Gu Zhentian smiled and said, "Although life at The Valley of the Wicked is harsh, our resources here are quite good, especially many ingredients are unavailable elsewhere, so today you definitely should have a good taste!"

"Indeed! Our vegetables and fruits are excellent!"

"Yes, yes!"

Feeling their enthusiasm, Xiaobei squinted slightly, knowing there was certainly an issue before, now Xiaobei was more convinced...

Of course, Xiaobei didn't intend to expose anything...

With a faint smile, Xiaobei said indifferently, "Then we must really have a taste!"

With these words, Xiaobei reached out with his chopsticks...

Earlier, Xiaobei detected with Nine Wood True Qi, and confirmed no issue with these vegetables and fruits...

Seeing Xiaobei reach for his chopsticks, the three of them quickly reached for their chopsticks as well...

Soon, Xiaobei and others began tasting...

It must be said, the flavor of these dishes was indeed very good...

Seeing Xiaobei savoring decisively, they couldn't help but praise for a moment.

They knew that if it were them, they wouldn't dare easily pick up chopsticks elsewhere...

After restraining their astonishment, Gu Zhentian spoke again, "The taste should indeed be good! Taste more of it!"
