Chapter 185: The Talent of the Guangyang King is Truly Terrifying
2024-09-07
In the governor's residence of Nanyang County.
The Pei family had also received a message from the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect.
Pei Sheng, holding the letter in his hand, had an expression that fluctuated between light and dark, as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing this, one of the Pei family elders couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch, what is it that the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect wants?"
"Just take a look for yourselves!"
Pei Sheng casually handed the letter to the elders, and as they read its contents, their expressions changed dramatically.
After a moment, someone spoke up, "Sacrificing the common people of each city, how can such a method be acceptable? If this news spreads, won't the Pei family be reviled for generations?"
"You are mistaken, Second Elder," an elder countered, shaking his head.
"The Pei family is already aligned with the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, and Pei Jing was killed by that Guangyang King. We and the Gu family are already locked in a life-or-death struggle. Now, Gu Yang leads the Guangyang army to invade Nanyang County with a million-strong force, sweeping through the land with unstoppable momentum."
"If Gu Yang truly takes over the entire Nanyang County, do you think the Pei family will have any chance of survival?"
The speaker was Pei Hong, the Great Elder of the Pei family, who held significant influence.
When Pei Hong spoke, many others nodded in agreement.
"You're right. The Pei family and the Gu family are locked in a life-or-death struggle. Gu Yang won't spare any of us!"
"Whether we live or die, what's the fear of being reviled for generations?"
"History is written by the victors. If we can defeat Gu Yang in this battle, the specifics of what happens will be up to the Pei family to decide..."
Hearing the words of the other Pei family elders, Second Elder Pei Lin's expression wavered.
He knew they were right.
The Pei family was already in a life-or-death struggle with the Guangyang King, Gu Yang. Even if the Pei family wanted to back down, Gu Yang would never agree.
Moreover, the idea of placing their lives in the hands of others was not something the Pei family leadership could accept.
In the end, everyone's gaze fell on Pei Sheng, the patriarch.
As the patriarch of the Pei family and the current governor of Nanyang County, the final decision rested with him.
"Then we will follow the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect's plan. Sacrificing a batch of commoners can bring a glimmer of hope to the Pei family. It will be a fitting death for them!"
Pei Sheng's expression was cold as he made his decision.
If it were before, Pei Sheng might have considered the impact on their reputation and hesitated to act rashly. But now, the Pei family had no other choice.

"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has slain 887 rebel soldiers!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has sent troops to destroy the Yin family, and his reputation has improved!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has sent troops to destroy the Moon Spirit Sect, and his reputation has improved!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has taken thirty-six cities in ten days, greatly increasing his power!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has fortuitously obtained the inheritance of a mysterious master, slightly enhancing his strength!"
"Your offspring, 'Gu Yang,' has achieved enlightenment through slaughter. The Overlord Blade Technique has officially reached the beginner level, and he has comprehended the Sixth-stage Overlord Blade Essence, significantly boosting his strength!"
...
"Sixth-stage Overlord Blade Essence!"
"Who would have thought that Yang would comprehend it so quickly!"
Gu Qingfeng's expression shifted slightly when he saw that Gu Yang had comprehended the Sixth-stage Overlord Blade Essence.
The difference between Fifth-stage and Sixth-stage Essence might seem small, but in reality, it was the gap between ordinary Essence and Master Essence.
Once one comprehends Master Essence, their strength can increase dramatically.
With Gu Yang’s current late-stage Bone Tempering realm and the mastery of Grandmaster Essence, he could easily slay a Marrow Washing realm opponent.
This was the terrifying power of Grandmaster Essence.
To be honest,
Gu Qingfeng never expected Gu Yang to grasp the Grandmaster Essence so quickly.
However, it was evident that his son’s comprehension was truly astounding.
As for the mysterious Grandmaster legacy...
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information, wondering if this was the third or fourth legacy Gu Yang had obtained.
"Could Yang be the legendary Son of Destiny?"
Such a thought couldn’t help but pop into Gu Qingfeng’s mind.
The concept of destiny.
While Gu Qingfeng had never truly witnessed it, he had heard of it.
Those known as the Sons of Destiny were said to find opportunities wherever they went.
Just like Gu Yang, who had received numerous legacies, including the Heaven Pulse Canon, a cultivation technique that could be considered heaven-defying.
Therefore,
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but wonder if Gu Yang was indeed the legendary Son of Destiny.
However,
After a moment’s thought, Gu Qingfeng felt a sense of relief.
"If he doesn’t have destiny on his side, he probably wouldn’t be able to take that position. Since Yang started his uprising in Guangyang Prefecture, if he can truly conquer the nine provinces and ascend the imperial throne, it would make sense to say he possesses formidable destiny!"
Gu Qingfeng was pleased with this possibility.
The more opportunities Gu Yang could obtain, the better.
At the very least,
If he truly possessed destiny, it meant that even in the face of danger, he could turn things around and live longer than others.
After that,
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel and continued to study martial arts.
Since the Marrow Washing chapter of the Longevity Sutra had been deduced, Gu Qingfeng was now fully focused on deducing the Viscera Tempering chapter.
The five viscera are like deities!
To refine the five viscera to perfection was far more challenging than other realms of cultivation.
However,
Gu Qingfeng, having already perfected his Body Tempering and possessing numerous top-tier martial techniques, found that even the complex and profound Viscera Tempering was not a significant issue.
...
Nanyang County.
The battlefield was a scene of fierce combat.
Gu Yang ascended the city wall, his long saber slicing down with the force of splitting Mount Hua. The terrifying saber intent surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming a Marrow Washing realm warrior who had been defending the city.
"No—"
The warrior’s face was filled with terror as he tried to resist.
However,
Under the terrifying pressure of the Grandmaster Essence, his entire body’s qi and blood stagnated, making it almost impossible to move.
In the blink of an eye,
The blade flashed.
When the long saber finally landed, the Marrow Washing realm warrior was split in two.
This scene,
When witnessed by the other warriors, caused them to involuntarily draw in a sharp breath.
"Whoa!"
"Grandmaster Essence!"
"The talent of the Guangyang Prince is truly terrifying—"
They hadn’t forgotten that despite his fearsome reputation, the Guangyang Prince was still only in his early twenties.
At such a young age,
Even grasping an ordinary essence would be enough to shock people.
Someone like Gu Yang, who had directly grasped the Grandmaster Essence, was incomparable to any prodigy or genius in the past few thousand years.
Such comprehension could only be described as heaven-defying.
Even Gu Yun, the head of the First Sect in the world, couldn’t help but widen his eyes in disbelief when he saw Gu Yang instantly kill a Marrow Washing realm warrior.
There was no way to avoid it.
The appearance of Grandmaster Essence was too shocking, and Gu Yun couldn’t help but be stunned.
