He Changsong discovered in terror that he could not speak at all!
Seeing their master suddenly lose his voice, the surrounding disciples were all puzzled.
But the next second, every expression froze on their faces.
A nearly imperceptible line of blood appeared across He Changsong's neck.
Then, He Changsong's head and neck shifted slightly out of alignment.
Clang...
Before everyone's eyes, He Changsong's head fell right off!
In an instant, deathly silence swallowed the entire Xuanjian Pond.
Everyone's eyes widened, and even drawing a breath became a luxury.
The blood in their bodies gradually turned cold, their faces filled with disbelief.
The Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect were the first to react.
Worried that it might be an illusion, they immediately circulated their inner power to sense He Changsong's presence.
But after searching the area, the Four Great Protectors felt their blood run cold from head to toe.
Because they discovered in shock that there was no trace of He Changsong's life around Xuanjian Pond!
And on the headless corpse before them,
the Four Great Protectors even found remnants of He Changsong's inner power!
At that moment, they suddenly realized something utterly terrifying.
He Changsong, the sect master of the Cangshan Sword Sect, had been killed by Gu Youwei!
And what terrified them even more was—
they had not even seen Gu Youwei make a move.
He Changsong had simply been killed in a single strike!
One had to know that He Changsong's Cultivation Level had already reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment.
As the leader of a sect on the verge of entering the middle four realms of cultivation, He Changsong's physical strength had reached a terrifying level.
Even the sharpest blade might not have been able to leave so much as a scratch on him.
Yet Gu Youwei had effortlessly slit his throat with a single sword and severed his head.
Faced with this, the Four Great Protectors had no idea how Gu Youwei had done it!
For a time, intense fear descended upon all of them from every direction.
As for Gu Youwei, the killing intent emanating from her body had clearly become even more violent and razor-sharp.
Her eyes were scarlet, her face covered in a cold and murderous aura.
Staring at He Changsong's already miserable corpse,
Gu Youwei slowly said, "So my coming to the Cangshan Sword Sect to cultivate was nothing but a lie."
"All of you deceived me, only to satisfy the filthiest selfish desires in your hearts."
"The Cangshan Sword Sect truly is a righteous and prestigious sect."
At the time, the Four Great Protectors could not understand what Gu Youwei was muttering about.
They only knew that Gu Youwei had killed their sect master, and they had to avenge him!
In the blink of an eye, the Four Great Protectors turned their grief and rage into strength and attacked Gu Youwei again.
If they had still intended to leave Gu Youwei alive before,
then this time, every move they used was aimed at killing Gu Youwei outright!
Every one of the Four Great Protectors possessed the Cultivation Level of the Profound Gang Realm.
The strongest among them had even reached the Tenth Level of Profound Gang Realm!
With only a slight movement of their bodies, they formed an unstoppable force that swept through everything in its path.
The area around Xuanjian Pond instantly dimmed, and the heavens and earth were thick with killing intent!
It was the first time the surrounding disciples of the Cangshan Sword Sect had seen the Four Great Protectors unleash killing moves together.
Every one of them believed that Gu Youwei was undoubtedly doomed this time.
Yet Gu Youwei did not even spare them a glance.
Holding Crimson Plume, she gave her right hand a slight shake, and an even more majestic Sword Qi surged forth!
Scarlet Sword Qi spread like ripples, and the figures of the Four Great Protectors froze in midair.
The entire space seemed to have paused for a second, and none of the disciples knew what had happened.
Then, lines of blood suddenly burst open across the Four Great Protectors' bodies!
The powerful Sword Qi Crimson Plume had unleashed had cut them in half at the waist!
Just like that, in less than a few minutes,
the sect master of the Cangshan Sword Sect had his throat sealed by a single sword!
The Four Great Protectors of the Cangshan Sword Sect were brutally dismembered!
And from beginning to end, Gu Youwei had not even moved from where she stood!
"This is the price of betraying me."
"Cangshan Sword Sect, all of you must die!"
At this moment, Gu Youwei was completely consumed by fury and hatred.
With a thought, her figure vanished from where she stood.
When she appeared again, more than half the disciples at Xuanjian Pond had already been beheaded.
An aggressive red glow radiated from Crimson Plume, as though such a battle was not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
And at that moment, Xuanjian Pond, once the sacred ground of the Cangshan Sword Sect, had become a living hell.
The disciples lucky enough to survive were already pale with terror.
They had lost even their most basic reason and began fleeing in blind panic.
But Gu Youwei had no intention of letting them go.
Holding Crimson Plume, she seemed to transform into a demonic god and vicious ghost that had crawled up from the depths of hell, cutting down anyone she saw and killing everyone she encountered.
From the moment Gu Youwei was pursued by He Changsong,
everyone in the Cangshan Sword Sect had only thought about how to capture Gu Youwei and claim credit and rewards.
From beginning to end, not a single person had stood on Gu Youwei's side.
Therefore, Gu Youwei believed that everyone here deserved to die!
Under the night sky, in the far northern reaches of East Desolation Commandery,
the Cangshan Sword Sect still appeared peaceful and tranquil from the outside.
But within, it had long become a living hell where blood flowed like rivers!
Gu Youwei stood amid a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones, Crimson Plume in hand.
She stared fixedly at a large tree not far away.
On that tree was the only disciple of the entire Cangshan Sword Sect who was still alive.
He was the eldest young master of the Gu family, Gu Feng!
When Gu Feng had witnessed He Changsong's head being chopped off, he had already been so terrified that he lost control of his bowels.
Especially after seeing the Four Great Protectors killed one after another and his fellow disciples suffer the same fate,
Gu Feng had been frightened senseless!
He had no idea what kind of demon Gu Youwei truly was!
At this moment, Gu Feng did not even dare meet Gu Youwei's eyes.
He could only hang miserably from the tree, his hands pressed together as he continuously begged Gu Youwei for mercy.
"Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"
Gu Youwei truly did not kill Gu Feng.
It was not because she still possessed even a trace of kindness.
Rather, she intended to take Gu Feng back to the Gu family.
And personally ask her father and mother!
Was that old bastard He Changsong a beast in human skin,
or had all of this been a conspiracy planned by the Gu family from the very beginning!
Lingxu Secret Realm, Third Divine Hall.
After Shi Mengying sensed that Gu Chen still showed signs of life, she immediately felt as though she were facing a great enemy.
She stared fixedly at the blazing Phoenix Spirit Fire before her, her heart full of confusion.
Then, Shi Mengying watched helplessly as the Phoenix Spirit Fire on Gu Chen's body gradually dissipated.
