"They've come so quickly."
Gu Jinlai was not surprised.
What Zhao Fan and his people said just before must have been the final ultimatum from everyone in Lingxiao City.
If he had opted to turn a blind eye, perhaps Fang Que and the Three Great Families may have chosen the method of boiling the frog in warm water to drive him away, but now…
"Gather the men, have them guard themselves and also form a perimeter outside to avoid letting anyone escape."
Gu Jinlai commanded.
"Form a perimeter?"
Gu Chaoyang was momentarily stunned.
"Is there a problem?"
"Patriarch, Fang Que and the gang of Meteor Star Guards are coming with fierce momentum, with no fewer than ten Hugging Pill Masters, and dozens from the Wang Family in the Gang Condensation and Qi Refining realms. Their power is several times greater than ours..."
Gu Chaoyang hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "How about we temporarily avoid their sharp edges and withdraw from Lingxiao?"
"Withdraw?"
