Chapter 182: When in Trouble, Seek Your Father!
September 6, 2024
The march to Nanyang Province!
This had been Gu Yang's plan for a while now.
After all, even though Gu Yutian had fallen in Guangyang Prefecture, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect still stood, leaving a bitter taste in Gu Yang's mouth.
As long as the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect remained, he could not find peace.
Now, with the march to Nanyang Province, Gu Yang's goal was simple: to use this opportunity to annihilate the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect and erase this eternal sect from existence.
None of the others raised any objections.
With Gu Yutian's demise, the once-intimidating pressure of the eternal sect was no longer a concern.
Moreover, the destruction of an eternal sect was a feat that could be boasted about for a lifetime.
Thus, when they heard Gu Yang's words, everyone was in agreement.
Only Gu Yun spoke with a somber tone, "Your Majesty, the march to Nanyang Province is fine, but the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect is still an eternal sect with formidable resources. They will not sit idly by when we attack."
"Even when Gu Yutian was alive, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect couldn't cause much trouble. Now that Gu Yutian is dead, what do I have to fear from them?"
Gu Yang sneered.
Then, he turned to Gu Yun and said, "The Divine Martial Sect is the top sect in the world, and I believe it has significant resources. Dealing with a half-crippled Heavenly Sun Sword Sect shouldn't be a problem, right?"
If they declared war on the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, the Divine Martial Sect would be the key force.
Gu Yun smiled confidently, "Your Majesty can rest assured. When Gu Yutian was alive, we couldn't do much against the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect. But now that Gu Yutian is dead, as long as the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect doesn't produce another Transcendent Realm expert, the Divine Martial Sect can suppress them. My previous warning was just to advise you to be cautious, to avoid any desperate actions from the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect that might harm you."
"I will be cautious."
Gu Yang's expression grew more serious, but he wasn't too worried about this issue.
For one, there were several Grandmaster-level experts from the Divine Martial Sect, including a few True Intent Grandmasters.
More importantly, the strength of the Dark Guards was more than enough.
After all, the eleven Dark Guards were all Grandmasters of the Innate Realm, and all of them had reached the pinnacle of this realm. Their strength was undeniable.
As long as no Transcendent Realm expert intervened, the Dark Guards could handle any challenge.
On the other hand, if a Transcendent Realm expert were to personally show up, being cautious wouldn't make much of a difference.
With this in mind, Gu Yang issued some orders, instructing the various generals to prepare, and then summoned Gu Yi.
"Go back and tell your father that I will soon lead the army to attack Nanyang Province and annihilate the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect. However, I am concerned about their hidden resources and hope to borrow the Evil Purging Blade."
Gu Yang said.
While he wasn't afraid of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, he still wanted to take precautions. Seeking aid from Gu Qingfeng in secret didn't make him feel embarrassed.
After all, in front of Gu Qingfeng, Gu Yang never saw himself as the King of Guangyang.
When a son is in trouble, seeking help from his father is perfectly normal.
Gu Yi immediately accepted the order and galloped off to the Gu Family Manor.
...
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has received guidance from a Divine Martial Sect expert and has made progress in cultivation!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has made some achievements in the Longevity Technique and has improved in cultivation!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has gained insight into the Tyrant Blade Slash and has broken through to the fifth level of True Intent!"
"Your offspring..."
Inside the Whetstone Hall.
Gu Qingfeng continued his daily cultivation, occasionally glancing at the changes on his information panel.
After creating the Longevity Technique: Bone Washing Chapter, he immediately handed this martial art to Gu Yang.
In fact, it wasn't just Gu Yang.
Gu Qingfeng also made the Longevity Technique the foundational cultivation method for all the shadow guards.
There were originally 3,100 shadow guards.
However, over the years, many had been lost.
Now, including those training in the outer hall, the total number of shadow guards stood at 3,076.
Twenty-four of them had perished. Among these, twenty were at the peak of the Bone Washing realm, and four were at the peak of the Organ Refining realm. As for the Grandmaster-level experts, there were no losses.
This was to be expected.
In the current world, it was not easy to slay a Grandmaster.
Moreover, the shadow guards, under Gu Yang's command, monitored various factions, even infiltrating some top-tier forces. Casualties were inevitable.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng was now doing everything he could to enhance the strength of the shadow guards.
The Longevity Technique, being a perfect method for body refinement, was the ideal foundational cultivation method for the shadow guards.
Cultivators who practiced this technique were unmatched in their respective realms, capable of easily defeating opponents of higher ranks.
Furthermore, Gu Qingfeng imparted four Grandmaster-level techniques to the shadow guards: the Prajna Sutra, the Pure Yang Sutra, the Overlord Blade Slash, and the Sun and Moon Fist Canon.
In addition to the original Seven Killing Blade Technique and the Crimson Flame Divine Art.
The seven techniques became the standard cultivation methods for the shadow guards.
For those below the Grandmaster level, they practiced the Longevity Technique and the Crimson Flame Divine Art.
Those at the peak of the Organ Refining realm and those who had broken through to the Grandmaster level practiced the Prajna Sutra and the Pure Yang Body.
The latter technique allowed one to cultivate into a Blood and Qi Grandmaster.
Combined with the Seven Killing Blade Technique, the Overlord Blade Slash, and the Sun and Moon Fist Canon, it was no exaggeration to say that the shadow guards were now fully armed in terms of martial arts.
Ordinary martial arts were one thing, but Grandmaster-level techniques and the Longevity Technique, which involved perfect body refinement, were something Gu Qingfeng was not yet ready to reveal.
Even to the outer hall and some inner hall disciples, he had not imparted these techniques.
The reason was simple.
The time was not yet right.
However, when it came to the shadow guards, Gu Qingfeng had no reservations.
After all, the shadow guards were absolutely loyal to him, and there was no possibility of betrayal.
"Once the Longevity Technique: Organ Refining Chapter is fully developed, this martial art will be complete. At that time, the dominance of the mages can truly be overturned."
Gu Qingfeng's mind was calm.
The Bone Washing Chapter had already been created, so how far could the Organ Refining Chapter be?
With all the martial arts of a region at his disposal, including many that involved organ refinement, Gu Qingfeng believed that given time, creating the Organ Refining Chapter would not be a significant challenge.
While Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion, two days later, Gu Yi arrived.
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Exalted Lord!"
Inside the Sharpening Hall, Gu Qingfeng looked at him with a calm gaze and said slowly, "Speak. What is the matter?"
"His Majesty wishes to attack Nanyang Prefecture and annihilate the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect. However, he is concerned that the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect may have hidden reserves, so he has sent me to humbly request the Evil-Slaying Blade to counter the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect!"
Gu Yi spoke with utmost respect.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but chuckle. "I thought he would become even more arrogant after becoming the King of Guangyang, but it seems he has become much more cautious!"
