Wei Qingyu quickly asked the maid, "Do you know who did this?"

Facing Wei Qingyu's question, the maid quickly shook her head, "Miss, we don't know who is responsible."

"The people from the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank found no traces at the scene, only that the spiritual sword from the Xuanjian Pond of the Cangshan Sword Sect was missing."

Hearing this, Wei Qingyu immediately felt that things were not simple.

She had heard a little about the Xuanjian Pond of the Cangshan Sword Sect.

It was said that a spiritual sword was sealed there, which was the most core secret of the entire Cangshan Sword Sect.

Now that the Cangshan Sword Sect had been wiped out, it was very likely because of this spiritual sword!

However, Wei Qingyu didn't care whether the Cangshan Sword Sect lived or died.

The main thing was that once the spiritual sword of the Cangshan Sword Sect disappeared, the high-grade coal stones at the foot of the mountain would also lose their sharpness.

At that moment, Wei Qingyu wondered if she couldn't even cultivate by the brazier anymore?

While Wei Qingyu was still thinking this, other maids had already thoughtfully replaced the brazier for Wei Qingyu.

Since there was no high-grade coal stone, they had to use the most ordinary coal.

As a result, Wei Qingyu was choked by the smoke from the coal, and her eyes went black after only using it for a short while.

"Cough! No, this is not something humans can use!"

After saying that, Wei Qingyu decided to go out and look for a substitute for high-grade coal stones.

Before Wei Qingyu could even leave her house, several servants quickly blocked her path.

"Miss, it's quite chaotic outside right now, you'd better not go out."

Wei Qingyu felt speechless and directly questioned, "I'm already this old, do I need your permission to go out?"

Just then, the voice of the Wei family patriarch, Wei Qingshan, suddenly came from the side.

"It was my order, my daughter. You'd best not go out for a while."

As soon as she saw her father, Wei Qingyu asked with great confusion, "Father, is it because the Cangshan Sword Sect was wiped out that it's been so chaotic in our East Desolation Commandery recently?"

Wei Qingshan's expression was clearly a little serious. He continued, "Daughter, it's not just the Cangshan Sword Sect."

"The Gu family also had an accident."

At first, Wei Qingyu didn't react when she heard about the Gu family.

After a long while, Wei Qingyu finally realized that this Gu family was Gu Chen's family!

Realizing this, Wei Qingyu immediately asked excitedly, "Father, did something really happen to the Gu family?"

"Did that Gu Chen from the Gu family die?"

"Was he murdered by villains?"

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Wei Qingshan was puzzled.

He asked with confusion, "Something happened to the Gu family, and you seem happy?"

Wei Qingyu quickly calmed herself down.

She put on a worried expression and asked, "I had a marriage engagement with that Gu Chen from the Gu family."

"Now that something has happened to the Gu family, I am naturally very worried."

"I hope Father can tell me if Gu Chen was murdered by villains?"

Wei Qingshan did not expect his daughter to be such a loyal and righteous person.

He sighed softly and slowly said, "Since you broke off the engagement last time, Gu Chen ran away from home, so Gu Chen is fine this time."

As soon as she heard that Gu Chen ran away from home, Wei Qingyu was delighted.

She didn't expect that breaking off the engagement with Gu Chen would have such a severe impact on him!

However, since Gu Chen was not in trouble, Wei Qingyu lost interest.

She originally intended to go back to the training hall to continue her cultivation.

Unexpectedly, what Wei Qingshan said next made Wei Qingyu's blood run cold.

"It's just a pity for that couple from the Gu family."

"They were both killed, and even dismembered!"

Wei Qingyu quickly turned around and asked in a horrified tone, "Father, what did you say?"

"The head of the Gu family was killed?"

Wei Qingshan nodded, saying with great regret, "Yes, I heard that his entire body was cut into pieces by villains, not even a complete corpse!"

"Many servants in the Gu family also died, and the remaining people all fled. The entire Gu family is now like a living hell. I didn't even dare to go and see."

Wei Qingyu suddenly remembered that Gu Chen had a sister, Gu Youwei.

In her past life, Wei Qingyu used to follow Gu Chen around all the time. In the beginning, her relationship with Gu Youwei was not very good.

Later, Wei Qingyu realized Gu Chen's ugly true colors and both she and Gu Youwei cultivated to the level of Empress.

Wei Qingyu suddenly realized that since Gu Chen had run away from home.

Then, according to the normal timeline, Gu Youwei would definitely still be at the Gu family's place right now!

Perhaps out of curiosity or gossip, or perhaps out of concern for an old friend.

Wei Qingyu quickly asked, "Father, doesn't the Gu family have a younger daughter named Gu Youwei? How is she doing?"

At that time, Wei Qingyu was afraid her father would say Gu Youwei was also dead.

It wasn't that Wei Qingyu was particularly worried about Gu Youwei.

It was mainly that in her previous life, even the nine empresses united and still couldn't kill that guy, Gu Chen.

If one person was missing from the start in this life, then the hope of killing Gu Chen would be even slimmer!

Wei Qingshan thought for a moment and murmured, "The Gu family has a younger daughter? I haven't heard of that."

"It's just that Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun, the couple, were killed."

"They originally had a son who didn't die, but he was scared insane. I heard he later drowned in a cesspool."

Not hearing news of Gu Youwei's death, Wei Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Qingyu knew clearly that in her previous life, Gu Chen had directly snatched the Heavenly Dao Bone from Gu Youwei.

This was the reason Gu Youwei's cultivation had never surpassed Gu Chen's.

And she herself had been taught the wrong cultivation method by Gu Chen, which was why her cultivation had never made much progress.

Now that she had been reborn in this life, Wei Qingyu absolutely would not let similar things happen again!

With that thought, Wei Qingyu no longer bothered with the lives of the Gu family.

Because she had more important things to do now, which was to quickly improve her cultivation.

And prepare for the upcoming Newcomer Tournament!

Lingxu Secret Realm, Third Divine Hall.

Shi Mengying never expected that Gu Chen would actually injure her directly in order to obtain the treasure!

And he had even stepped directly over her head!

At that moment, Shi Mengying felt the pain in her limbs and felt as if she was in unbearable agony.

Although Shi Mengying had been injured by Gu Chen once before entering the Lingxu Secret Realm.

This time, her injuries were clearly more severe.

Shi Mengying felt as if her internal organs had been displaced.

This showed that Gu Chen had truly intended to kill her at that time!

"Damn Gu Chen, how dare you treat me like this!"

"When I see you again, I will make you pay!"
