Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Divination Signs

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu agreed without hesitation.

“No problem.”

The matters involving the four major forces and the four top fighters on the Human List have been resolved.

Now, Zhou Yu’s biggest curiosity is why the Gong Family would willingly give him the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc?

Moreover, he feels that Gong Ke’s gaze seems a bit unusual.

What’s the real story behind this?

Only by going there can he find out.

So Zhou Yu agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s agreement, Gong Ke was filled with excitement.

“That’s great.”

“Mr. Zhou, please come with me. I’ll first take you to rest, then I’ll invite my father over.”

“I’ll arrange for you to meet.”

“Okay.”

Under Gong Ke’s guidance, Zhou Yu arrived at a lakeside pavilion at the back of the Gong Family estate.

Gong Ke instructed the butler to prepare tea and poured a cup for Zhou Yu.

About ten minutes later, Gong Ke came over, pushing a wheelchair.

An old man was seated on the wheelchair.

Though the old man did not look very aged, his legs had completely lost sensation.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu, the old man was unexpectedly agitated, even trying to stand from the wheelchair.

“Father, Father, don’t be agitated.”

Gong Ke quickly calmed him.

Then, he turned to Zhou Yu and said:

“Mr. Zhou, this is my father.”

“Father, this is Mr. Zhou Yu, the current Hu City Martial Pavilion Chief.”

At this moment, Zhou Yu proactively stood up and approached the old man.

The old man excitedly grasped Zhou Yu’s hand and said:

“Hello, Mr. Zhou.”

“I am Gong Shiqiang.”

Zhou Yu replied politely:

“Hello, Old Gong.”

After the brief greeting, Zhou Yu spoke:

“Old Gong, you don’t seem very old, probably not yet 50, but your body appears to have suffered severe damage, losing a lot of vitality and blood, thus you seem aged.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Shiqiang let out a bitter smile.

“I have long heard that Mr. Zhou possesses both exceptional martial arts and medical skills, today’s meeting truly proves the reputation is deserved.”

“Indeed, when I was younger, to eliminate an enemy, I once took pill medicine to deplete my vitality and blood, later, although I defeated my enemy, I ended up in this condition.”

Zhou Yu nodded, expressing sympathy.

He did not continue on this topic but instead shifted his focus and directly asked:

“Old Gong, if I’m not mistaken, your Gong Family was forced regarding this so-called family banquet.”

Gong Shiqiang’s expression paused, then he sighed and nodded.

“Yes, Mr. Zhou, you have seen through it.”

“The root of everything is that Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc.”

“My Gong Family accidentally acquired this disc from an antique merchant. Initially, we didn’t pay much attention to it until an elder in the family discovered the true nature of the disc. At that time, upon learning it was the key to opening the Ancient Spirit Land, the whole family was shocked.”

“Soon, I realized it was a hot potato and immediately instructed the family to keep it a secret.”

“However, somehow, this secret was still leaked.”

“On the night the secret leaked, top experts from Hu City’s major forces came knocking, trying to seize it. For this, my Gong Family lost several well-trained guards.”

“In the following two days, experts from many major forces tried various means to take it away.”

“I deeply understood that with the Gong Family’s strength, we couldn’t keep this item. Therefore, to avoid the Gong Family becoming a victim of these major forces’ conflicts, I decided to publicly hold a banquet and give away this hot potato.”

“So, that’s why everything that happened today occurred.”

After hearing Gong Shiqiang’s words, Zhou Yu frowned.

“And what about the Golden Demon Blade?”

“Why would you give the Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc to me?”

Gong Shiqiang let out a bitter smile.

“Regarding the Golden Demon Blade, it’s actually related to a prophecy, which you might not believe, Mr. Zhou…”

Zhou Yu said calmly:

“Tell me first.”

Gong Shiqiang took a deep breath and said:

“The Golden Demon Blade was acquired by our Gong Family twenty years ago and has been stored in my study.”

“Ten years ago, a master from the Bagua Gate visited and chatted with me in the study.”

“Upon seeing the Golden Demon Blade, he performed a divination for me.”

“According to his prophecy, this Golden Demon Blade will find its owner ten years later, and he even predicted the exact time.”

“Besides, he also told me that ten years later, the Gong Family will face a great calamity. If the owner of the Golden Demon Blade cannot be found before the calamity, the Gong Family will be doomed.”

At this point, Gong Shiqiang looked at Zhou Yu.

“And the time the master predicted is today.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was again shocked.

This is not the first time he has heard legends about masters from the Bagua Gate.

If Gong Shiqiang is not lying, then this Bagua Gate master is indeed extraordinary, able to predict events twenty years in advance.

This sounds too fantastical indeed.

However, since Zhou Yu has experienced it once before, he was not too surprised.

Moreover, while Gong Shiqiang was narrating the matter, Zhou Yu’s ‘Divine Touch’ kept sensing Gong Shiqiang’s state.

It can be confirmed that he was not lying.

“To be honest, I initially didn’t believe it either, until today, when I saw you, Mr. Zhou, conquer the Golden Demon Blade and defeat the four Human List Heavenly Pride fighters. Only then did I believe you are the person from the Bagua Gate master’s prophecy.”

“So, I instructed Gong Ke to invite you over.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

He fell silent for a moment, then asked:

“Old Gong, I heard that there are four keys to the Ancient Spirit Land in total, do you know the situation of the other three currently?”
