Chapter 51: Chopped Up and Fed to the Dogs
Chapter 51: Chopped Up and Fed to the Dogs
Gu Qingfeng looked at him, his expression devoid of emotion.
"It's simple. To you, ordinary people are like livestock. To me, you are no different from livestock."
"Would I, Gu Qingfeng, ever collaborate with livestock?"
"But you can rest assured, after you die, I will soon send the others from the Qingyang Sect to join you!"
With that, Gu Qingfeng's right hand twisted, breaking the man's neck.
Until the very end,
Xue Wang's face was filled with unyielding defiance.
"Bring in someone!"
Gu Qingfeng said, his face expressionless.
A moment later,
Two guards entered from outside.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Drag the body out, chop it up, and feed it to the dogs."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, and the guards, without daring to ask any questions, complied immediately.
Soon,
The dungeon was left with only Gu Qingfeng.
After a long while,
Gu Qingfeng suddenly smiled, but his smile was twisted.
"The common people are treated like livestock. This world is even more twisted than I imagined. Without the right strength, anyone can become fodder for the various sects, noble families, and the imperial court!"
The world is in chaos.
Natural disasters are rampant.
Soldiers and bandits run rampant.
Rebel forces are everywhere.
Gu Qingfeng thought he had already overestimated the turmoil in this world, but now it seems he had underestimated it, and severely so.
The Great Xuan Dynasty!
No—
It should be said that the order of this world has completely rotted.
The major sects and noble families have stood for hundreds, even thousands of years, poisoning the world.
The corruption of this world seems to have lost all hope of salvation.
Overthrowing everything and establishing a new order seems to be the only way to solve the problem.
However,
These matters are currently of no concern to Gu Qingfeng.
Not to mention whether he has the intention to overthrow this corrupt world, even if he does, he is powerless.
Because,
He is too weak.
The Bone Purification realm may seem strong, but it depends on the context.
To stand against the entire world, even a Bone Purification realm practitioner is not enough, let alone a mere one.
"I can't overthrow the world, and I can't eliminate this corrupt world, but dealing with the Qingyang Sect should be manageable.
As long as Xue Wang's words are true, my strength should be sufficient to suppress the Qingyang Patriarch."
"Once the Qingyang Patriarch is dealt with, the rest of the Qingyang Sect will be no threat!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes grew cold.
However,
Eliminating the Qingyang Sect requires careful planning.
At the very least,
Gu Qingfeng needs to use his own people to gather intelligence about the Qingyang Sect, cross-check it with Xue Wang's information, and ensure there are no discrepancies.
At the same time—
Gu Qingfeng must prepare for the worst.
If the Gu family fails to deal with the Qingyang Sect, they must be ready to retreat.
If the Qingyang Patriarch is truly powerful enough to be beyond Gu Qingfeng's reach, the Gu family cannot remain in White Stone Path.
Otherwise, the Qingyang Sect will easily target the Gu family.
As for reconciliation—
That is out of the question.
From the moment Ye Shi met his end, the Gu family and the Qingyang Sect are in a life-or-death struggle.
Moreover,
If the Gu family were to submit to the Qingyang Sect, they would have to gather three thousand young boys and girls for them. Gu Qingfeng, despite his ruthlessness, cannot bring himself to do such a thing.
"According to Xue Wang, the Qin family has always handled these matters for the Qingyang Sect. It seems the Qin family is well-respected in White Stone Path, but they are also deeply corrupt."
Clearly, the massacre of the Qin family was not in vain; not a single one of them deserved to live!"
Gu Qingfeng thought coldly to himself.
He had wiped out the Qin family because they had crossed a line, and he had to eliminate the root of the problem.
But now, it was evident that the Qin family's destruction was well-deserved.
—
Two days later.
In the main hall of the Gu family, Gu Yang spoke solemnly, "As per Father's request, I have mobilized all available resources to gather information on the Qingyang Sect. Here are the details, please review them, Father."
Gu Yang handed a stack of papers to Gu Qingfeng, who took them and began to read carefully.
The content was largely consistent with what King Xue had mentioned.
Gu Yang continued, "Ten years ago, the renowned Nanyang knife fighter Guan Nanhai single-handedly stormed the Qingyang Sect, causing quite a stir. However, after that, he vanished without a trace.
There are rumors that Guan Nanhai met his end within the Qingyang Sect, but the exact details remain unknown."
Pausing for a moment, Gu Yang's expression grew serious.
"He was said to be immensely powerful, possibly having reached the Bone Tempering stage, defeating numerous strong opponents and earning a formidable reputation throughout Guangyang Prefecture.
His disappearance caused quite a stir, but as time passed, the matter was eventually forgotten.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out more about his true strength."
"No need to investigate further. Guan Nanhai did indeed reach the Bone Tempering stage, and he did meet his end within the Qingyang Sect."
Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly and used a burst of wind to shatter the papers in his hand.
The information on the papers was largely consistent with what King Xue had told him, and in some cases, less detailed. For instance, the existence of the Qingyang Sect's founder, Qingyang Old Ancestor, was only briefly mentioned, with little elaboration.
"Guan Nanhai really did reach the Bone Tempering stage!"
Gu Yang's face showed surprise, then turned grim.
"If what Father says is true, then the Qingyang Sect's true strength is far more complex than it appears. What are our plans now that we have openly clashed with them?"
"The Qingyang Sect's strength is indeed formidable, but it shouldn't be a problem. The one who defeated Guan Nanhai was none other than the Qingyang Old Ancestor, who founded the sect several hundred years ago."
"That's impossible! The Qingyang Old Ancestor lived hundreds of years ago. How can an ordinary martial artist live so long?"
Gu Yang looked incredulous.
He wasn't doubting Gu Qingfeng's words, but the idea was hard to accept.
Martial artists can indeed extend their lifespan, but not to the extent of living for several hundred years.
Gu Qingfeng explained, "Ordinary martial artists can't live for hundreds of years, but Grandmasters can."
"However, the one in the Qingyang Sect is not a Grandmaster. He is a monstrous being, a result of absorbing evil into his body, neither human nor ghost. While his strength is certainly greater than Guan Nanhai's, it is likely limited."
Gu Yang's expression changed repeatedly.
Grandmaster!
Absorbing evil into the body!
He suddenly realized how much he still didn't understand about the world.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him.
"There are some things I will tell you in the future. For now, you need to understand one thing: absorbing evil into the body is not the right path, and the Gu family will never allow anyone to do so.
Whoever dares to take that path will be the first one I kill!"
"Understood, Father!"
Gu Yang felt a chill run down his spine, sensing the killing intent radiating from Gu Qingfeng, and quickly bowed his head in response.
