"I, Gu Family, have so many outstanding descendants continually being born, currently in our prime and thriving robustly, quack!"
Thinking this, Gu Shi Qian chuckled freely in his heart.
Another long hour passed, and the extensive preparations finally came to an end.
An elder from Gu Family with white hair and beard came over and said, "Family Head, the altar has been set up, we can start now."
Gu Shi Qian nodded, then flipped a switch next to him, opening a secret passage, leading all the eligible members of the Gu family inside in a single file.
After their entrance, a few were left outside to strictly guard the exit. The rest, including attentive stewards and other unoccupied Sword Masters, were stopped there and were not allowed to enter further.
A normal Sword Master in his entire life could only enter the Gu Family's underground ancestral land during the trial they participated in.
