After Gu Yi and the others withdrew, Gu Yang cautiously asked,
"Father, when did you begin cultivating the Hidden Guard? Why had I not heard a whisper of it before?"
"The matter of the Hidden Guard will be told to you when the time is right."
Gu Qingfeng brushed off the question with a nonchalant response.

Gu Yang, despite his myriad of questions, had no choice but to suppress them.
Leaving the Grinding Blade Hall,
Gu Yang shook off his earlier dejection, feeling a surge of boldness within.
A hundred Hidden Guards.
Though the number didn't seem large, each one possessed enough strength to establish a sect.
Having such a force at his disposal gave him a vast scope for maneuvering.

Gu Yang summoned all the Hidden Guards.
He saw over a hundred black-clad figures standing there, each with an indifferent expression that rendered the vast Inner Hall silent and serene.
