Compared to anything else, the inheritance was definitely more important. That was why he would rather abandon her than give it up!
The more Gu Youwei thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Gu Chen was nothing but a selfish, self-serving petty man.
Gu Chen clearly knew she was going to be sent to the Cangshan Sword Sect, yet he had stood by and watched her die.
That bastard clearly knew everything, but he had not told her a thing.
Someone like him was no different from He Changsong. He had to die!
While Gu Youwei was still thinking this.
Gu Zhengchun directly gave the order from the side. "Seize Gu Youwei!"
"Then come with me to the Cangshan Sword Sect and let her properly apologize to Sect Master He!"
Clearly, Gu Zhengchun did not believe that Gu Youwei could have killed He Changsong.
After all, He Changsong's Cultivation Level was at the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Across the entire East Desolation Commandery, people whose Cultivation Level had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm could be counted on one hand.
Even if someone shoved a blade into Gu Youwei's hand and told her to kill He Changsong, she might not have been able to harm him at all!
Upon receiving the order, the Gu Family servants immediately moved against Gu Youwei.
But in the next instant, they suddenly felt as though they could not take a single step.
At first, they had not realized what was happening.
But when they lowered their heads, their faces were already filled with terror!
At some unknown point, thin lines of blood had appeared across their calves, thighs, and waists.
Before they could even react, their bodies shifted out of place and burst apart!
This scene frightened Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun half to death.
They had not seen how Gu Youwei had done any of this.
Yet all those Gu Family servants had died!
"Monster! You are nothing but a monster!"
"No wonder Feng'er was frightened into such a state by you. Who exactly are you?!"
Gu Youwei slowly walked toward Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun.
"Father, I want to call you Father one more time."
"Did you intend to treat me as a gift to be sent away from the very beginning?"
"Did you and Mother ever show me even the slightest concern or affection?"
Gu Youwei stared at Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun with hollow eyes, looking like an evil ghost.
In truth, if Gu Zhengchun and his wife had merely said that they had loved her, they would have been spared.
But Gu Zhengchun answered, "How could our Gu Family possibly take in a monster like you?!"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you starve and freeze to death outside with that brat Gu Chen!"
At that moment, Gu Youwei's heart had turned utterly cold.
Once, she had longed for her parents' love. She had hoped that in this life, she could have a happy and complete family.
But Gu Youwei had thought too much. The people of this world did not deserve feelings.
Not a single person in this world was worthy of her trust!
"You wretched girl, I underestimated you. You actually have some skill."
"Since that's the case, I'll give you a proper lesson!"
Gu Zhengchun had no idea that Gu Youwei's Cultivation Level had already risen.
He believed that with his Innate Realm Cultivation Level, dealing with a Gu Youwei would be as easy as turning his hand over.
But just as Gu Zhengchun raised his hand, he suddenly could no longer feel his right hand.
Looking closely, he saw that his right hand had somehow fallen to the ground!
Immediately afterward, Gu Zhengchun's vision spun as heaven and earth turned upside down.
The last thing he saw was Liu Caiyun's utterly terrified expression.
And... the half of his body that remained.
Gu Youwei merely made a light move, and Chi Ling's Sword Qi carved Gu Zhengchun into eight pieces.
Liu Caiyun witnessed everything with her own eyes, and she was frightened mad on the spot!
But before she could scream out the rest of her words.
She felt the force of ten thousand jun crash toward her from the front, and her whole body was sent flying backward!
After smashing through several walls in succession, Liu Caiyun's internal organs ruptured. Blood streamed from her seven orifices as she died.
Within just a few minutes, Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun died miserable deaths one after another.
The surviving Gu Family servants were so terrified that they scattered and fled in all directions!
Watching those people flee, Gu Youwei did not stop them.
Perhaps she felt they were innocent and did not wish to slaughter any more people.
Or perhaps her heart had gone cold, and she could not be bothered to begin another massacre.
Gu Youwei merely crouched quietly before Gu Zhengchun's head.
Staring indifferently at the head that had long since lost all signs of life, she said, "I, Gu Youwei, hate betrayal most of all."
"He Changsong must die. You must die."
"And Gu Chen must die most of all!"
East Desolation Commandery, Wei Family Residence.
Wei Qingyu was still cultivating in the Training Hall with a brazier in her arms.
She suddenly felt that the brazier was not hot enough, and impatiently ordered the maid at the door, "Go bring me some more Coal Stone!"
But the maid replied with a troubled expression, "Miss, there is no more high-grade Coal Stone."
"There is still some ordinary coal, though. Shall I add a few pieces for you?"
Hearing this, Wei Qingyu's expression immediately darkened even further.
"Can ordinary coal possibly match my status?"
"That stuff chokes people to death when it burns. Do you still want me to cultivate properly or not?"
"What if I fail to place in the Rookie Competition?"
Faced with Wei Qingyu's questioning, the maid did not know what to say for a while.
She could only answer vaguely, "Miss, but there really is no more high-grade Coal Stone."
"No more? Are you kidding me?"
Wei Qingyu pointed right at the maid's face. "Isn't that stuff lying everywhere at the foot of the Cangshan Sword Sect?"
"I think you just want to be lazy!"
The maid hurriedly replied, flustered, "No, no, no, Miss! I would never dare slack off!"
"It's just that this Coal Stone really is gone, and in the future... perhaps there will not be any more."
That immediately left Wei Qingyu somewhat puzzled.
She could not help asking, "What do you mean? Is the Cangshan Sword Sect no longer allowing us to mine Coal Stone?"
"Aren't they being far too stingy? At worst, we can just give them more money!"
By this point, the maid was trembling like a leaf in the wind, as though she had recalled something terrifying.
Then she explained to Wei Qingyu, "Miss, the Cangshan Sword Sect was... was slaughtered to the last man."
At that moment, Wei Qingyu's eyes flew wide open!
She asked in utter disbelief, "What did you say?"
"The Cangshan Sword Sect was slaughtered to the last man?"
"When did this happen?"
It was not that Wei Qingyu cared much about whether the Cangshan Sword Sect lived or died.
On one hand, she genuinely wanted to hear the gossip.
On the other, she feared that without high-grade Coal Stone in the future, her cultivation days would become even harder!
"We only just received the news as well."
"Apparently, people from the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank went to deliver Spiritual Medicine to the Cangshan Sword Sect as usual. They waited at the foot of the mountain for ages, but no one came."
"Later, after the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank people went up the mountain, they discovered that everyone in the Cangshan Sword Sect... was dead."
Wei Qingyu's mouth fell open on the spot.
She truly had not expected that the Cangshan Sword Sect, known as the foremost sect in the East Desolation Commandery.
Would be wiped out to the last man just like that!
