Chapter 145: Kill!
Chapter 145: Kill!
However, there was one thing Gu Yang was well aware of: his father harbored a deep-seated disdain for warlocks. Influenced by this, Gu Yang himself had developed a strong aversion to warlocks in the world.
Nonetheless, from a broader perspective, temporarily accepting the Scarlet Flame Sect would benefit the Gu Family Manor more than it would harm. On a personal level, however, Gu Yang was reluctant to associate with such people.
The issue was that great achievements often required one to overlook minor details. To gain something, one must often sacrifice something else.
Thus, Gu Yang found himself in a dilemma. But now that Gu Qingfeng had sent word, Gu Yang no longer had to agonize over the decision.
He immediately summoned Gu Yi and the others.
"Welcome, Manor Lord!"
"Father has given the order: destroy the Scarlet Flame Sect!"
Gu Yang handed the letter with the word "kill" to Gu Yi. Though the intent of the blade had dissipated somewhat, a trace still lingered. Even this remnant was enough to make a Grandmaster martial artist wary.
"Does the Manor Lord plan to send the entire army to level the Scarlet Flame Sect, or will only the Secret Guards be dispatched?" Gu Yi asked.
Gu Yang replied coolly, "If we only send the Secret Guards, can you guarantee the destruction of the Scarlet Flame Sect?"
"Currently, we have three innate Grandmasters and ten peak Visceral Refinement experts. Annihilating the Scarlet Flame Sect should be no problem," Gu Yi said without hesitation.
"Very well. Since you are confident, lead the Secret Guards and wipe out the Scarlet Flame Sect. However, the evil spirits within the sect must not be left unchecked. Be sure to bring the seals to contain them."
Gu Yang gave his final instructions before sending Gu Yi and the Secret Guards to the Scarlet Flame Sect.
At the same time, Gu Yang planned to keep the news of the Scarlet Flame Sect's destruction under wraps. Even if it couldn't be hidden entirely, he would delay the information as long as possible, then launch a swift and decisive attack on all fronts.
This was the only way to secure the entire Guangyang Prefecture with minimal cost, before the other sects and noble families could react.
Otherwise, once the news of the Scarlet Flame Sect's destruction spread, those noble families and sects would likely put up a desperate resistance.
"Sigh, I still have too few strong allies. If I had enough innate Grandmasters, I could suppress all the noble families and sects in Guangyang Prefecture in one fell swoop. And if Father were to lend a hand, it would save a lot of trouble..."
This thought flashed through Gu Yang's mind for only a moment. His father, a Grandmaster, would not act without good reason. Moreover, Gu Qingfeng's presence was more of a deterrent.
"However, with Pei Jing's death, the Tianyang Sword Sect will not let this go. I've heard they have a top-tier Transformation Realm expert, a match for a Grandmaster. If the Tianyang Sect's leader were to intervene, it would be a significant problem!"
Gu Yang mused. But that was beyond his current scope of influence. Since Gu Qingfeng had dared to kill Pei Jing and openly defy the Tianyang Sword Sect, he must have been confident of victory.
Having spent so many years by his father's side, Gu Yang knew that his father never acted without certainty. Even when facing a formidable opponent, Gu Yang had an inexplicable confidence in Gu Qingfeng.
This confidence was the foundation of his fearlessness toward the Tianyang Sword Sect.
Then, Gu Yang turned his attention to the sand table before him, already setting his sights on the next target.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
Inside the Crimson Flame Sect.
The ground is now strewn with corpses.
The once-mighty Sect Master of the Crimson Sun Sect now stands disheveled, his robes stained with blood, looking utterly disheveled and desperate.
"Why are you, the Gu Family Manor, breaking your word? The Crimson Flame Sect has already surrendered!"
Ouyang Lie's voice was a mix of shock, disbelief, and rage as he stared at Gu Yi, his heart filled with indignation.
The Crimson Flame Sect had already bowed to the Gu Family Manor, yet they were still being hunted down. This was something Ouyang Lie never expected.
In truth, Ouyang Lie couldn't fathom why the Gu Family Manor would attack the Crimson Flame Sect. If there were past grievances, the Gu Family Manor had suffered no significant losses; it was only the Crimson Flame Sect's strong warriors who had fallen.
Moreover, great achievers don't get bogged down by trivial matters. A few minor conflicts wouldn't lead to a blood feud.
Because of this, Ouyang Lie couldn't understand the Gu Family Manor's actions.
Gu Yi remained silent, believing that the dead didn't need to know the reasons.
Besides, he was following Gu Yang's orders to exterminate the Crimson Flame Sect.
His task was clear: to kill every last person in the Crimson Flame Sect, leaving no survivors.
To accomplish this, Gu Yi had brought thirty Dark Guards, each at the peak of the Bone Washing Realm. Thirty such guards were a formidable force.
Moreover, five of these guards were at the peak of the Viscera Refinement Realm, making them even more terrifying.
This overwhelming power was enough to instill despair in the Crimson Flame Sect.
Under Ouyang Lie's watchful eyes, the Crimson Flame Sect's strong warriors were being slaughtered one by one. The sect's elders were being overwhelmed by the Dark Guards, and familiar faces were rapidly disappearing.
At that moment, Ouyang Lie's mind wandered, and Gu Yi took the opportunity to slash through his protective aura, leaving a deep, ghastly wound on his body.
Blood gushed out, and Ouyang Lie's face twisted in madness.
"You want to wipe out the Crimson Flame Sect? Even if I die, I'll take you with me!"
In that moment, Ouyang Lie held nothing back. He poured all his strength into a terrifying, eerie aura that swept through the air like a tidal wave. His eyes turned an eerie green, as if a malevolent spirit had possessed him.
For a warlock, such an all-out battle could awaken the malevolent spirits within, making them uncontrollable.
Under normal circumstances, Ouyang Lie wouldn't have taken such a risk. But now, with death staring him in the face, he had no choice.
His mind was set on one thing: even if he died, he would make the Dark Guards pay.
"Malevolent spirit!"
Gu Yi's expression remained unchanged. His body's true qi surged like a torrent, and a formidable blood qi gathered, channeling his power into his long sword. The Seven Killing Blade Technique reached an unprecedented level of power.
With a thunderous boom, the blade's energy shattered the sky, sweeping through the air.
Despite Ouyang Lie's desperate, all-out attack, he was no match for Gu Yi.
In a matter of moments, a flash of the blade, and Ouyang Lie's head was severed from his body, his face frozen in a ghastly expression as it flew through the air.
In the next instant, the headless body collapsed to the ground.
Then, an even more chilling and terrifying aura erupted.
With Ouyang Lie's death, the malevolent spirit within his body finally awoke fully.
