Chapter 77: Enlightenment of the True Heart
Chapter 77: Enlightenment of the True Heart
True Yang Sect.
The place is now a scene of sorrow and despair.
Bodies lie scattered, each face frozen in a terrified expression, as if they had encountered something truly horrifying in their final moments.
In the main hall of the True Yang Sect, a woman’s desperate cries mingle with the maniacal laughter of a young man.
True Yang Elder, the sect’s leader, lies on the ground like a broken doll, his limbs twisted and broken, his eyes wide with rage as he witnesses the atrocities unfolding before him.
A young woman, her limbs similarly broken, is being brutally violated by the youth.
After a while, the young man’s face breaks into a satisfied smile. He casually snaps the woman’s neck and throws her body at True Yang Elder’s feet.
“Excellent, I didn’t expect such a small place like Bai Shi Dao to have such a gem. Truly, it’s beyond my expectations!”
Ning Fu licks his lips, his eyes lingering on the woman’s lifeless body, still not fully sated.
True Yang Elder’s eyes are bloodshot with fury. He roars, “This is Bai Shi Dao! You have destroyed my True Yang Sect, and the Gu Family will not let you go unpunished!”
“Hmph, the Gu Family? They are mere warriors, what can they do?”
Ning Fu sneers, his gaze filled with cruelty as he looks at True Yang Elder.
“I have kept you alive until now because you are the only warrior in the True Yang Sect who has reached the later stages of Blood Cultivation. It’s only fitting to savor you last.
After all, the blood and flesh of a later-stage Blood Cultivation warrior are far superior to those of ordinary people.
Swallowing you might even help me advance in my cultivation!”
Though he is not a sorcerer, Ning Fu practices the divine skills of the Crimson Flame Sect, using the blood and qi of warriors to nourish his own body, cultivating himself to a state nearing the divine.
This way, when he eventually incorporates evil into his body, it will be much easier.
As he speaks, Ning Fu slowly approaches True Yang Elder. He leans down and, in the elder’s enraged gaze, pierces his chest, digging out his heart.
“I come from the Crimson Flame Sect. Even if the Gu Family is here, do they have the courage to lay a finger on me—”
“Who dares to speak such arrogant words? You shall be punished!”
Just as Ning Fu finishes his sentence, a furious shout echoes from outside the hall. A terrifying blade intent erupts, a fierce blade aura slicing through the hall, causing Ning Fu’s face to pale in shock.
“Boom—”
Ning Fu is sent flying by a powerful force as soon as he makes his move.
“Pfft!”
An arm flies through the air.
The intense pain contorts Ning Fu’s face.
At this moment, he finally sees a young man holding a blade, calmly stepping into the hall.
“Master… Master Gu, please avenge… avenge the True Yang Sect—”
True Yang Elder’s eyes widen in desperation. His lips move, but only a faint whisper escapes before his expression freezes, and he falls silent.
Now, Ning Fu, clutching his severed arm, looks at Gu Yang with a mixture of fear and disbelief.
“You are Gu Yang… It’s impossible! You are only at the initial stage of Blood Cultivation, how could you possess such power!!”
Ning Fu can hardly believe it.
He is well aware of the existence of Gu Yang, the young master of the Gu Family. Although Gu Yang is renowned as a genius, he is only at the initial stage of Blood Cultivation.
A Blood Cultivation warrior in his teens is not unheard of, even in the Crimson Flame Sect.
Ning Fu himself is in his early twenties and has already reached the peak of Blood Cultivation, with the potential to advance to the Bone Cultivation stage.
But what truly shocks Ning Fu is the strength Gu Yang has displayed.
That single strike.
He had no means to resist it.
Seeing Gu Yang’s cold expression as he calmly approaches with his blade, Ning Fu suddenly becomes frantic.
"You can't kill me! I am a true disciple of the Crimson Flame Sect. If you kill me, the Crimson Flame Sect won’t let you off—"
However.
Before Ning Fu could finish his sentence,
Gu Yang had already swung his blade.
The Overlord Blade Slash, powered by the essence of his body, mind, and spirit, unleashed a tyrannical blade intent that surged into Ning Fu's mind, leaving him frozen in place.
In the next instant,
The long blade sliced through the air.
Ning Fu's body stiffened, and his head flew off, his face still frozen in a look of disbelief.
Clearly,
He hadn't expected that Gu Yang, despite knowing his identity, would still dare to kill him.
After slaying Ning Fu,
Gu Yang sheathed his blade.
Looking at the corpse of True Sun Elder and the chaos in the hall, his calm expression turned grim.
"Crimson Sun Sect—"
Gu Yang's eyes were cold.
The Gu Family Manor ruled over the White Stone Path, and the True Sun Sect was one of the subordinate forces. Upon learning of the issues within the True Sun Sect, Gu Yang had immediately brought his men to this place.
But,
He had arrived a step too late.
True Sun Elder had perished,
And the True Sun Sect was almost entirely wiped out.
Only now,
Did the other outer disciples of the Gu Family Manor arrive.
Seeing the scene in the hall, they were taken aback.
Gu Yang said, "Are there any survivors in the True Sun Sect?"
"A total of three hundred and sixty-nine people in the True Sun Sect, aside from the one who reported to us, are all dead," one of the outer disciples replied solemnly.
"Clean everything up!"
Gu Yang cast a deep glance at the scene in the hall, then turned and walked out.
The events at the True Sun Sect made him realize that only by possessing sufficient strength could one survive in this chaotic world.
"Stronger beings mercilessly slaughter the weak!"
"In this chaotic era, the moral order has collapsed. As my father said, the order of this world is already rotten!"
"Perhaps only by overthrowing this rotten world can we rebuild a complete order—"
Gu Yang's eyes became increasingly resolute.
—
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has slain a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has enlightened his true heart!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has deepened his understanding of the Overlord Blade Slash, further enhancing his strength!"
Gu Qingfeng had just finished observing the Grandmaster's True Intent Diagram, and the depletion of his mental energy had left him in need of rest.
So,
He instinctively opened the information panel to check for any new updates.
After all, the information panel often had new updates, and it never hurt to take a look.
But this time, when he opened the information panel, Gu Qingfeng's expression changed as he saw the refreshed information.
Blood Refinement Realm?
Could his son really be that formidable?
Even Gu Qingfeng hadn't expected that Gu Yang would actually be able to slay a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist.
However,
What intrigued him more was the identity of the Blood Refinement Realm martial artist Gu Yang had slain and the reason for the conflict between them.
Without delay,
Gu Qingfeng instructed his subordinates to gather information on Gu Yang's whereabouts and bring him to him.
Soon,
Gu Qingfeng had a report in his hands, detailing the events at the True Sun Sect.
