Chapter 52: I Will Leave No Living Soul in the Gu Family
Chapter 52: I Will Leave No Living Soul in the Gu Family
Spirit-summoning Treasures and Techniques!
Evil Cultivation!
This was something Gu Qingfeng could not tolerate.
The powerful spirit wielder from the Evil Suppression Bureau had been the first such individual Gu Qingfeng had encountered. The methods and techniques that person used were still vivid in his memory. Once someone was infused with evil, they ceased to be human and were no different from malevolent spirits.
"Now that we have ascertained the strength of the Qingyang Sect, we can't afford to delay any longer!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold.
He who strikes first prevails; he who strikes last perishes. Since he had already offended the Qingyang Sect, he needed to annihilate them completely. Otherwise, things would only become more complicated.
However—
Before dealing with the Qingyang Sect, Gu Qingfeng needed to make another preparation.
"Someone, come here!"
"What does the head of the family need?"
A servant entered the room.
Gu Qingfeng said, "Send Meng Peng to see me immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
The servant bowed and left, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Meng Peng rushed in.
"Master, you summoned me. Is there something you need?"
"I have a task for you—"
Gu Qingfeng's voice dropped to a whisper, and after a moment, Meng Peng nodded and left.
—
The next day.
At the Gu Family Training Ground.
Three hundred guards gathered here. These three hundred were the elite among all the guards, with the weakest being at the late-stage Skin Tempering level. Leading them were five Blood Refinement experts.
The guards stood in silence, a solemn and deadly atmosphere permeating the air. Their eyes were fixed on the figure before them, filled with respect and awe.
Gu Qingfeng spoke.
"I won't waste time with pleasantries. The purpose of this gathering is clear to you all."
"I know why you joined the Gu Family."
"In this battle, if we successfully exterminate the Qingyang Sect, those at the Skin Tempering level will receive an intermediate martial technique, and those at the Blood Refinement level will receive a high-grade martial technique. Additionally, the Gu Family will not skimp on the corresponding cultivation resources you need!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd's faces turned feverish.
Intermediate martial techniques!
High-grade martial techniques!
The reason they had joined the Gu Family was to have the opportunity to learn advanced martial techniques, allowing them to advance further in their cultivation.
Now, Gu Qingfeng had offered them this irresistible temptation, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
"Vow to exterminate the Qingyang Sect!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
The mood in the entire training ground was instantly ignited.
"Vow to exterminate the Qingyang Sect!"
"Vow to exterminate the Qingyang Sect!!"
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng's eyes showed satisfaction.
Indeed, as long as the reward was great enough, people would be willing to do anything, even if it meant facing death.
For ordinary martial artists, intermediate martial techniques were already hard to come by, let alone high-grade techniques.
At that moment, Meng Peng arrived.
"Is everything ready?"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him.
Meng Peng nodded and whispered, "Everything has been prepared as you instructed, Master."
"Good—"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes glinted with a deadly resolve, and he waved his hand.
"Move out!"
With a single command, the three hundred guards sprang into action.
However—
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to step out of the Gu Family gates, Xu Yulan approached, followed by two maids, each carrying a baby.
"Husband!"
Xu Yulan's face was filled with worry.
Gu Qingfeng's expression softened, and he said, "If all goes well, this will be quick. If I don't return within ten days, do as I told you: take the children and leave this place, heading to our next safe haven."
"At that time, I will go and meet you!"
"Alright, my lord, be careful!"
Xu Yulan's lips moved slightly, but she ultimately said nothing more, only nodding in agreement.
Then, Gu Qingfeng turned to the two maidservants behind him and said sternly, "Take good care of Lady Xu. If you neglect her, it won't just be a simple punishment."
"Please rest assured, my lord, we understand!"
The two maidservants hurriedly replied.
After that, Gu Qingfeng glanced at Xu Yulan once more before turning and leaving.
Upon exiting the city gates, Gu Yang had already prepared three hundred horses.
Then, Meng Peng led his men out of the city, with a carriage in the middle.
Once they were through the gates, all the guards mounted their horses and set off in a grand procession toward Qingyang Sect.
---
Meanwhile, within Qingyang Sect.
The news of Xue Wang and his two companions’ deaths had also been relayed back.
When Sect Leader Ye Nanqiu heard this, his face turned livid with rage.
"Just how dare the Gu family kill my Qingyang Sect members!!"
Xue Wang's death was one thing, but the loss of Ye Shi, his only son, was what truly pierced Ye Nanqiu's heart.
From the outside, Ye Nanqiu appeared to be in his middle years, with only a slight graying at the temples. However, he was actually well over ninety years old.
Ye Nanqiu had his son, Ye Shi, in his sixties, a stroke of good fortune.
Since then, Ye Nanqiu had doted on Ye Shi, pampering him in every way. Coupled with Ye Shi's excellent talent, he had already reached the middle stage of Blood Tempering at a young age. Advancing to the Bone Tempering stage was a certainty.
In Ye Nanqiu's eyes, Ye Shi was the next Sect Leader of Qingyang Sect.
Now, with the news of Ye Shi's death, how could Ye Nanqiu not be enraged?
Immediately, he decided to gather all the sect's powerful cultivators and head to White Stone City to completely eradicate the Gu family, offering Ye Shi a proper burial.
"What has you so angry?"
A cold, eerie voice echoed through the hall.
Ye Nanqiu looked up and saw that Qingyang Old Ancestor had appeared in the hall without a sound.
His face changed instantly, and he hurriedly stood up.
"Old Ancestor, I pay my respects!"
"Speak. How did you handle the task I entrusted to you?"
Qingyang Old Ancestor slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, his gaze on Ye Nanqiu cold and chilling.
Ye Nanqiu felt an immense pressure.
"Old Ancestor, as soon as you gave the order, I had Elder Xue Wang lead two disciples to White Stone City to prepare three thousand young boys and girls.
However, the Gu family showed no respect for our Qingyang Sect. Elder Xue Wang and my son Ye Shi were both killed by the Gu family!"
Ye Nanqiu's voice was filled with venom by the end.
"Gu family!"
Qingyang Old Ancestor's eyes glowed with a green light, and a strange aura enveloped him. His shadow stretched and twisted, giving off a sinister feeling.
"Elder Xue Wang had been in the Bone Tempering stage for many years. If the Gu family could kill him, they must have some considerable strength.
But this is for the best. It means the Gu family has at least one Silver Bone cultivator. Without the young boys and girls, a Silver Bone cultivator would be a fine substitute!"
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"This time, I will take action personally. You should arrange for some people to accompany me to the Gu family. I will leave no one alive!"
