Chapter 48: What a Joke!
Chapter 48: What a Joke!
Yeshi looked at the Gu Family Manor before him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Without hesitation, he was about to storm in.
At that moment, a guard from the Gu Family stepped forward to block him.
"Stop right there! This is the Gu Family Manor. No one is allowed to enter without permission—"
The guard's words were cut short as he was sent flying, crashing through the gate with a thud. He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, his breathing labored and shallow.
The sudden turn of events sent a shockwave through the entire Gu Family Manor.
Meng Peng, leading a group of guards, rushed over. Upon seeing the dead guard and the damaged gate, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He glanced at Yeshi and then fixed his gaze on the elderly man in brocade robes.
"You have trespassed into the Gu Family Manor and killed one of our guards. You will have to give us an explanation!"
Meng Peng said coldly.
He did not act rashly. After all, the Gu Family had recently gained a significant reputation, and anyone who dared to cause trouble here must have a complex background.
Moreover, the elderly man in brocade robes seemed like an ordinary person to Meng Peng.
This left only two possibilities: either he was truly an ordinary person, or his cultivation was so profound that it was beyond Meng Peng's comprehension.
Meng Peng naturally leaned towards the latter.
After all, the two young men and women were Blood Refinement experts, so the leader, the elderly man in brocade robes, could not be simple.
Before Meng Peng could finish his sentence, the elderly man remained silent, but Yeshi spoke up first, his tone arrogant and condescending.
"This is Elder Snow King of the Green Sun Sect. I am a true disciple of the Green Sun Sect. Don't think that killing one of your guards is a big deal. Even if I were to exterminate the entire Gu Family, who would dare to say a word against it?
Now, let Gu Qingfeng come out and see me. If we are in a good mood, perhaps we might spare the Gu Family this time!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the many Gu Family guards and Meng Peng changed.
Green Sun Sect!
These three words were like thunder in Wide Sunshine City. Even though the White Stone Dao seemed to have many experts in the past, they were nothing compared to the Green Sun Sect.
Before Meng Peng could respond, a clear and proud voice rang out.
"Such arrogance! I, the Young Master, want to see who dares to speak so boldly in the Gu Family Manor!"
As he spoke, Gu Yang slowly walked over. Seeing the dead guard on the ground, his face grew even colder.
When Gu Yang appeared, Yin Lu, who had been silent, her eyes lit up. His handsome face stirred something within her.
This scene did not escape Yeshi's notice, and it instantly filled him with jealousy, his face turning fierce.
"A mere young master of the Gu Family dares to show such disrespect to the Green Sun Sect. You are truly courting death—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yeshi launched an attack. A powerful force burst through the air, aimed directly at Gu Yang. His attack was as swift as lightning, his face filled with a deadly intent, clearly aiming to take Gu Yang's life.
Gu Yang, undaunted, his flesh and blood vibrating, unleashed the Gu Family's Fist Method, which had reached the pinnacle of perfection. A surge of overwhelming power gathered, and his punch was like a mountain collapsing, powerful and crushing.
The two clashed in a dozen exchanges in less than a breath.
Yeshi, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was now filled with shock.
He had assumed that a mere young master of the Gu Family would be no match for him, and that he could easily subdue him.
But when they truly engaged, Yeshi realized how naive he had been.
Gu Yang’s strength was not only formidable but terrifying.
The moment they clashed, Gu Yang found himself at a disadvantage.
Just as Ye Shi was about to retreat, Gu Yang’s relentless assault left him struggling to defend. A powerful punch forced his arms apart, and a palm strike aimed straight for his vital point.
“Elder Xue, save me!”
Ye Shi’s soul was nearly out of his body, and he no longer cared about his dignity as he screamed for help in terror.
At that moment, Xue Wang, who had been standing by, his eagle-like eyes flashing with cold light, suddenly struck with his right hand. His fingers, like the claws of a hawk, lunged toward Gu Yang’s crown.
This attack was a significant threat, forcing Gu Yang to defend himself.
However—
Before the strike could land, Xue Wang’s hand froze mid-air. Gu Qingfeng had appeared beside Gu Yang, his right hand gripping the former’s wrist like a vise, preventing the attack from completing.
In the next instant, Gu Qingfeng released a burst of energy from his palm, causing Xue Wang’s body to shake violently. He was forced to stagger back several steps before he could stop.
“Father!”
Gu Yang lowered his head, his face tinged with shame. If not for Gu Qingfeng’s intervention, he would have fallen to Xue Wang’s hands.
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, his expression calm. “You may step back; I will handle this.”
On the other side, Ye Shi and Song Lan’s faces changed, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Gu Qingfeng.
Xue Wang was an elder of the Qingyang Sect, his strength far beyond that of the Blood Refinement realm. Yet, the person before them had managed to repel Xue Wang, indicating that his strength was no ordinary matter.
“Bone Refinement Realm—Who would have thought the head of the Gu Family is a Bone Refinement expert? No wonder you were able to unify the entire White Stone Path, and no wonder you dare to look down on our Qingyang Sect!”
Xue Wang’s face darkened, his eyes cold and menacing.
“However, if the Gu Family believes that a mere Bone Refinement realm can ignore the Qingyang Sect, then you are greatly underestimating us!”
Gu Qingfeng smiled gently and politely clasped his hands.
“I have never dared to underestimate the Qingyang Sect. My actions just now were out of desperation. I have yet to learn your name and your position within the Qingyang Sect. Is there something you need from us?”
Seeing Gu Qingfeng’s courteous demeanor, Xue Wang’s expression softened slightly, but he still let out a cold snort.
“Hmph, I am Xue Wang, an elder of the Qingyang Sect. I am here today because the Qingyang Sect has a task for the Gu Family. If you do well, the Qingyang Sect will have its rewards. If you fail, the consequences will be more than the Gu Family can bear.”
Xue Wang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Gu Qingfeng with a haughty gaze.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Yang’s face turned angry, but Gu Qingfeng remained composed, his smile unwavering.
“To serve the Qingyang Sect is an honor for the Gu Family. I have long heard of the Qingyang Sect’s reputation. However, I wonder if the Qingyang Sect has any Marrow Cleansing realm experts as its protectors?”
“Hmph, do you know what a Marrow Cleansing realm expert is? Throughout the entire Mount Tai Prefecture, there are few who can reach that level.”
Xue Wang snorted coldly, his face filled with mockery, then he became arrogant again.
“While the Qingyang Sect does not have any Marrow Cleansing realm experts, our sect leader has already reached the peak of the Golden Bone realm. Breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing realm is just a matter of time.”
“I see.”
Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly, but his smile vanished in an instant. In the next moment, he appeared before Xue Wang, his fingers gripping the elder’s face and slamming him to the ground.
“Without a single Marrow Cleansing realm expert, what are you pretending about?”
