He had long since reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
Even if Gu Youwei fought back with all her strength, she would be no match for him.
"Good little sister, stop struggling. There's nothing bad about being Master's little wife."
"Of course, Master does have some rather strange little tastes."
"A few prospective mistresses came to the sect before, but Master barely toyed with them twice before they died outright."
"Since Father and Mother sent you here to pave the way for me..."
"You'd better hold on for a little longer!"
At that moment, Gu Youwei's heart gave a sudden thump.
Because she abruptly felt that everything Gu Feng said was true!
Perhaps her adoption by the Gu family and her being sent to the Cangshan Sword Sect to cultivate—
Had been a conspiracy from beginning to end!
But Gu Youwei was unwilling to accept that fact.
She clearly remembered that when she had been in the Gu family, Father and Mother had loved her so dearly.
They gave her a warm home, gave her medicine to take, and even dressed her in beautiful clothes.
How had they suddenly become despicable people who sold their daughter for glory?
"No, you must be lying to me."
"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing that Gu Youwei still refused to believe it all, Gu Feng found it even more laughable.
It was like a pig in a slaughterhouse that had clearly already been placed on the chopping block.
Yet it still kept insisting that the butcher loved it and would raise it for the rest of its life.
Wasn't that nothing but a joke?
Thinking this, Gu Feng no longer wished to waste another word on Gu Youwei.
Because if he delayed any longer, other disciples might discover this place.
Then the credit for being the first to capture Gu Youwei would be shared away!
With that thought in mind, Gu Feng walked straight toward Gu Youwei.
"Good little sister, stop struggling."
"Since you like my parents so much, you should obediently listen to them and not let them down."
As Gu Feng approached her, Gu Youwei immediately felt a deep sense of disgust and resistance.
She suddenly thrust out her right hand, sending Gu Feng flying several meters away!
Gu Feng only felt the world spin around him before he was hurled backward!
Bang!
Gu Feng crashed heavily onto the ground, feeling as though his entire skeleton were about to fall apart.
He struggled out of the bushes, held his waist, and said, "You bitch, you're actually pretty strong!"
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
One had to know that Gu Feng was already at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
As someone with one foot about to step into the Innate Realm, he naturally did not take Gu Youwei seriously.
But he did not know that when Gu Youwei had first arrived here, her Cultivation Level had already broken through to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
And after being provoked by Gu Feng just now, her blood and qi surged through her body, her true qi churned, and she directly shattered through the Body Tempering Realm, climbing to the second level of the Innate Realm!
Though the second level of the Innate Realm and the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm appeared to differ by only a little—
There was an entire major realm between them.
It was like second place and first place. They seemed to differ by only one rank—
But in truth, an insurmountable chasm lay between them!
In a towering rage, Gu Feng gathered qi in his palm and charged at Gu Youwei without mercy.
Ever since Gu Feng had come to the Cangshan Sword Sect, no one except Master had dared speak loudly to him.
Yet Gu Youwei had actually sent him flying just now!
Gu Feng simply could not swallow this bitter grievance!
"Die!"
In the blink of an eye, Gu Feng had arrived before Gu Youwei.
At that moment, Gu Feng felt extremely pleased with himself. He believed his strength utterly crushed Gu Youwei's.
He planned to beat Gu Youwei half to death, then present her to Master.
Master would surely be delighted then, and Gu Feng's status in the sect would certainly rise another level!
Yet before Gu Feng could make a move, he suddenly felt his whole body become much lighter.
The sight before his eyes was no longer Gu Youwei, but a sky full of stars endlessly streaming past.
"Huh?"
"What's happening to me?"
Before Gu Feng could even react, he was sent flying stiffly through the air in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree spin!
In the end, he was directly hung from a large tree, looking utterly bedraggled.
Only then did Gu Feng realize that Gu Youwei had sent him flying again.
And this time, he had flown even farther than before!
He wanted to say something to teach Gu Youwei a proper lesson, only to discover that he seemed not to have the strength even to speak.
The intense pain had already numbed him.
Gu Feng laboriously lowered his gaze to his own body, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
To his shock, he found that a huge section of his chest had caved in!
Clearly, Gu Youwei had shattered all his ribs!
At that moment, the emotion in Gu Feng's eyes turned to terror.
Because he had never imagined Gu Youwei could be this strong!
However, just as Gu Youwei sent Gu Feng flying with a punch, the energy fluctuations it produced happened to be noticed by He Changsong.
He Changsong instantly used a voice transmission across a thousand miles, locking onto Gu Youwei's location.
Then he sent his voice into Gu Youwei's mind.
"Good treasure, so this is where you are."
"You truly made your master search for you so bitterly..."
The moment she heard He Changsong's voice, goosebumps rose all over Gu Youwei's body.
She realized she had been discovered, but there was simply nowhere for her to run!
As if possessed by ghosts and led by spirits, Gu Youwei could only run toward Xuanjian Pond nearby.
After He Changsong discovered Gu Youwei's location—
The Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect rushed to the scene at once.
Before long, Xuanjian Pond was completely surrounded by the Four Great Protectors and numerous disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect!
Gu Youwei was clearly in a panic now.
Only a small part of it came from being frightened by He Changsong.
The main reason was that Gu Youwei had begun to doubt her parents' motives!
She increasingly wondered whether what Gu Feng had said was true.
So much so that Gu Youwei wanted to stand before her parents and personally ask what they had truly been thinking!
As she ran, Gu Youwei discovered that she seemed to have entered a sealed barrier.
There was clearly an immensely powerful energy here, yet it seemed bound by some kind of shackles, unable to break free.
Gu Youwei looked back, and her gaze landed directly on the Spirit Sword embedded in the rock wall.
In that instant, Gu Youwei seemed to receive some kind of summons.
Because the Spirit Sword before her was none other than Chiling, the sword she had wielded after becoming the Empress in her previous life!
In her previous life, Gu Youwei had just broken through in Cultivation Level and become an Empress in her own right.
Feeling the primordial power of heaven and earth, she raised her right hand in a beckoning gesture.
A longsword radiating red light across its entire body instantly tore through the clouds of the nine heavens and came hurtling toward her.
Gu Youwei did not know where Chiling had come from, nor did she know who had forged it.
