Chapter 34: Today, I, Gu, Stand Here
The Qin Family was wiped out.
Turbulence rippled through the outside world.
But the Gu Family remained a haven of peace.
Some factions, fearing Gu Qingfeng’s ruthless methods, hastily came to pay their respects shortly after the Qin Family’s demise.
Gu Qingfeng, however, did not truly intend to exterminate these people.
After all, massacring the entire Bai Shi Dao martial world would bring him no real benefit.
...
As night fell, Meng Peng rushed in.
"Lord, news from outside indicates that the Tianyun Sect is trying to unite various forces to oppose the Gu Family."
"Tianyun Sect—"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes grew cold.
"I haven’t even gone after them, and they’re rushing to their own deaths. If the Tianyun Sect wants to court death, I’ll oblige them."
"What does Lord plan to do?"
"The Qin Family is already gone, so adding the Tianyun Sect to the list won’t matter much. I’ll crush all resistance, and the rest will naturally submit."
Gu Qingfeng’s expression was cold, and in his mind, he had already sentenced the Tianyun Sect to death.
Originally, he had intended to move against the Tianyun Sect.
But with the Qin Family just destroyed, there were matters to handle, and he hadn’t had the time.
Moreover, he had wanted to give the Tianyun Sect a chance.
If they could submit to the Gu Family, that would be best.
After all, the Tianyun Sect was not weak, with a Blood Refinement Realm peak expert as their guardian. If he could subdue them, the Gu Family’s strength would advance even further.
But now, he no longer intended to waste time.
If the Tianyun Sect wanted to seek their own destruction, he would grant them their wish.
Then, he turned to the man before him and asked calmly, "What’s the situation with the Tianyun Sect?"
"Yun Tianxing is currently uniting various factions, planning to hold a Demon Slaying Assembly at the Tianyun Sect in three days, with the intent to oppose our Gu Family."
"Three days—"
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, then dismissed Meng Peng.
Shortly after Meng Peng left, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and Gu Qingfeng looked up to see Xu Yulan slowly entering.
Seeing her, he stood and supported her.
"It’s late, my lady. Why aren’t you resting? What brings you here?"
As he spoke, he glanced at her protruding belly, his expression softening.
With his heightened senses, he could feel the faint life within.
Xu Yulan caressed her belly and said softly, "I heard you destroyed the Qin Family today?"
"The Qin Family vowed to oppose our Gu Family, so I had no choice but to eliminate them. I won’t tolerate any potential threats to the Gu Family."
Hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng’s expression turned cold for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.
Xu Yulan shook her head slightly. "The Qin Family was powerful and had a significant reputation in the martial world. Now that you’ve destroyed them, there will be no shortage of trouble."
"Trouble—"
Gu Qingfeng smiled confidently, and a heavy aura emanated from him.
"The martial world is ruled by strength. The weak fear trouble, but the strong have nothing to fear. I destroyed the Qin Family today, and if anyone is dissatisfied, I’ll deal with them in due time."
Listening to Gu Qingfeng’s domineering words and seeing his chiseled face, Xu Yulan was momentarily entranced.
She had married Gu Qingfeng out of a sense of gratitude, but as they spent more time together, she discovered many inexplicable and captivating qualities about him.
Especially his current dominance, which left her unable to resist being drawn in.
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng’s aura suddenly dissipated, and his voice softened.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about these matters. I will handle the Gu Family's issues. You just need to focus on resting and taking care of yourself."
"Um..."

Three days later.
The Tianyun Sect hosted a grand banquet, and many factions were invited to attend. Numerous powerful figures gathered at the event.
When Yun Tianxing arrived, many people stood up to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Sect Master Yun!"
"Sect Master Yun has arrived—"
In response, Yun Tianxing nodded to each of them, a smile on his face.
As he approached the front of the banquet, he looked at the powerful figures from various factions, and a surge of confidence filled his heart.
Once the Gu Family is dealt with, the Tianyun Sect will be the dominant force in the Baishi Dao. The grandeur of today's event will continue into the future.
"Thank you all for coming. I am deeply honored and grateful for the Tianyun Sect's reputation that you all respect!"
Yun Tianxing spoke slowly, and the previously noisy crowd gradually fell silent.
Then, his expression turned solemn, and his voice grew louder.
"First, the Chu Family and the Ironbone Gang were unjustly annihilated, and then the Qin Family was exterminated. Gu Qingfeng’s actions have become monstrous. Such evil deeds cannot be tolerated by any of us in the martial world.
"If the Qin Family can be destroyed today, then any of us, including the Tianyun Sect, could be next. Therefore, Gu Qingfeng's monstrous actions must be stopped. I have gathered you all here today to discuss how to deal with him."
"Gu Qingfeng's actions are ruthless and inhumane. He must be eliminated!"
"Indeed, such cruel methods are undoubtedly those of a demonic cult."
"Before the Gu Family arrived, the Baishi Dao was peaceful. Since their arrival, they have caused numerous disturbances. If they can destroy the Qin Family today, they could turn on us next. The Gu Family must not be allowed to remain!"
"Destroy the Gu Family!"
"Destroy the Gu Family—"
For a moment, the crowd was filled with intense emotions.
Yun Tianxing watched the scene, a satisfied look in his eyes. As long as everyone was riled up, dealing with the Gu Family would be much easier.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the Tianyun Sect's mountain gate. A dark figure broke through the air and crashed onto a table, causing a loud noise that made many people's faces change.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Tianyun Sect!"
Yun Tianxing was enraged, but when he saw the middle-aged man in a green robe, his expression changed.
"Gu Qingfeng—"
Though he had never met Gu Qingfeng in person, he had seen many portraits of him, so he was not unfamiliar.
Others also reacted when they heard Gu Qingfeng's name.
No one had expected that while they were discussing how to deal with the Gu Family, the head of the Gu Family would appear alone.
Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on Yun Tianxing.
"You don't need to go through so much trouble to deal with me. I am here today. Whoever wants to challenge me, come forward. I will see this through to the end!"
His words caused another shift in the crowd's expressions.
Immediately, someone couldn't help but shout, "Gu Qingfeng, don't be so arrogant! I will challenge you!"
As the words fell, an elderly man stepped forward, moving with the agility of a monkey, quickly closing the distance. A fierce wind aimed at Gu Qingfeng's face.
Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly struck with a punch, hitting the old man's hand with a powerful blow. The force caused the bones to break, and the sharp white bone pierced through the flesh at the elbow, causing the old man to scream in agony.
In the next instant, Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger, sending a powerful wind that shattered the old man's head, cutting off his scream abruptly.
