Questioning Gu Zhengchun

"But in my previous life, Gu Chen, with only Innate Realm cultivation, was able to snatch my Heavenly Dao Bone away directly."

"If he could discover it, why couldn't I?"

The more Gu Youwei thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Gu Chen had caused all of this!

If not for Gu Chen, she would never have fallen to such a state!

As for Gu Feng, Gu Youwei had long since knocked him unconscious. He lay ramrod-straight nearby, the ribs on his chest still sunken in.

Thus, most of the day passed, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

The scorching sun baked the earth, making the stench of blood within the Cangshan Sword Sect grow ever thicker.

When sunlight poured down, a cloud of blood mist would even rise around Xuanjian Pond!

Gu Youwei suddenly opened her eyes, the murderous aura on her face growing even more intense.

Because she had just used Chiling, Gu Youwei's cultivation had suffered greatly, even dropping directly back to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm!

If Gu Youwei had continued using Divine Sword Chiling for a while longer then,

even she herself would have suffered a severe backlash.

Fortunately, after cultivating for the entire morning, Gu Youwei had raised her cultivation back to the ninth level of the Innate Realm.

By Gu Youwei's usual expectations, she had originally planned to break through to the Profound Gang Realm in one go.

But for some reason, she felt as though she was still missing something.

Now that she possessed Chiling ahead of time and also had the Heavenly Dao Bone, even breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in one breath should not have been a problem.

Yet now, she could only keep her cultivation at the ninth level of the Innate Realm.

This truly struck Gu Youwei as very strange.

"It must have been Gu Chen pulling some tricks when he reincarnated, limiting my cultivation progress!"

"How could that bastard be so venomous!"

"Gu Chen, just you wait! I definitely won't let you off!"

Filled with fury, Gu Youwei rose directly to her feet and kicked Gu Feng awake.

"Let's go!"

Gu Feng's whole body had practically fallen apart by then. Smelling the thick stench of blood around him, he nearly died of fright on the spot.

Especially when he heard Gu Youwei call out to him, Gu Feng hurriedly said, "Heroine, I beg you, spare me!"

"I'll serve you like an ox or a horse—anything is fine, as long as you don't kill me!"

Gu Youwei looked coldly at Gu Feng and immediately felt that he had not a shred of backbone.

"Come home with me."

"I want to personally ask Father and Mother what exactly is going on."

Gu Feng was immediately frightened out of his wits.

Because if Gu Youwei truly learned that all of this had been ordered by his parents,

wouldn't his family end up just like the Cangshan Sword Sect?

But Gu Feng did not dare stop Gu Youwei either. He could only grit his teeth and follow her.

Before leaving, Gu Youwei was still pondering how to deal with Chiling.

Then, with a mere movement of her thoughts, Chiling actually transformed into a streak of red light and entered her body.

Gu Youwei had no time to think further. She directly took the half-dead Gu Feng toward the Gu family home.

The journey was rather far, and Gu Feng had already been severely injured.

By the time they neared his front gate, he truly felt as if his life were about to slip away.

Only one last breath remained, hanging by a thread!

When the Gu family saw Gu Youwei appear in the distance, every one of them turned pale with fright.

They hurried into the Gu residence and reported the matter to Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun.

"Master, disaster has struck!"

"That... Gu... Gu..."

The servant stammered for a long while without managing to say a single complete word, infuriating Gu Zhengchun.

He said impatiently, "Gu what? What exactly are you trying to say?"

The servant then said in terror, "It's Gu Youwei! Gu Youwei has returned!"

At those words, Gu Zhengchun's face immediately darkened.

He hurriedly exchanged a glance with Liu Caiyun, their faces filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Wasn't that dead girl taken away by Sect Master He? Why has she come back?"

"Are you sure it was her?"

Before the servant could reply, several more attendants came stumbling over from outside.

They all looked as though they had been scared witless and hurriedly said to Gu Zhengchun, "Master, Gu Youwei has returned!"

"And she brought Young Master back with her!"

At that moment, Gu Zhengchun's face went ashen with fright.

He had no idea what had happened and could only hurriedly take Liu Caiyun outside to see what was going on.

But when Gu Zhengchun arrived at the entrance to the courtyard, the expression on his face froze solid.

Because he truly saw Gu Youwei standing at the entrance to their home!

And beside her was his own half-dead son!

"Feng'er, how did you end up like this, Feng'er!"

Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun immediately ran toward Gu Feng.

They paid no attention at all to Gu Youwei, who was covered in blood.

When Gu Feng saw his parents, he immediately began to cry in grievance.

"Father, Mother, your son has suffered so much!"

Seeing Gu Feng in that state, Gu Zhengchun and his wife were nearly sick with heartache.

Gu Zhengchun soon noticed that a section of Gu Feng's chest had caved in. It was obvious that someone had struck him!

"Feng'er, who did this to you?"

"How did you get hurt so badly?"

But Gu Feng did not dare tell the truth.

After all, he had personally witnessed Gu Youwei slaughter the entire Cangshan Sword Sect!

Gu Feng had no idea how to explain this to his parents and could only lower his head and sob bitterly.

Seeing this, Liu Caiyun directly asked Gu Youwei, "Didn't we send you to the Cangshan Sword Sect to cultivate? Why did you come back after only one day?"

"And what happened to Feng'er?"

Liu Caiyun spoke to Gu Youwei in an interrogating tone from the very start, which made Gu Youwei extremely displeased.

Gu Youwei answered coldly on the spot, "I was the one who beat Gu Feng."

Truthfully, Gu Feng had never expected Gu Youwei to admit it so directly!

And everyone present was dumbfounded upon hearing those words.

They had never imagined that Gu Youwei was the one who had beaten Gu Feng half to death!

Liu Caiyun immediately lost control of her emotions.

After all, who could stand by and watch their own son get beaten into such a state by an outsider?

"Quick, hurry and find the best physician to treat Feng'er!"

Liu Caiyun had the servants take Gu Feng away, but Gu Feng refused to leave no matter what.

He was terrified that his parents might let something slip. If that happened, calamity would descend upon the Gu family!

"Father, come over here. I have something to tell you."

Gu Feng spoke very quietly to Gu Zhengchun, but Gu Youwei still heard him.

Thus, Gu Youwei spoke coldly, "No need to panic. I didn't use my full strength when I beat him. He won't die anytime soon."

"I only want to get one matter straight. Once I know the answer, I will decide what to do."
