The Gu Family Patriarch Was Killed!

Wei Qingyu hurriedly asked the maid, "Do you know who did it?"

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

"The people from the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank found no traces at the scene. They only saw that the Spirit Sword from Xuanjian Pond of the Cangshan Sword Sect was gone."

Hearing this, Wei Qingyu immediately felt that things had become far from simple.

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

It was said that a Spirit Sword was sealed there, the most closely guarded secret of the entire Cangshan Sword Sect.

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

But Wei Qingyu did not care whether the Cangshan Sword Sect lived or died.

The main problem was that once the Cangshan Sword Sect's Spirit Sword disappeared, the premium Coal Stones at the foot of the mountain would lose their sharp potency as well.

At that moment, Wei Qingyu wondered, Could it be that I can't even cultivate while hugging a brazier anymore?

While Wei Qingyu was still thinking this, the other maids thoughtfully replaced her brazier.

Without premium Coal Stones, they could only use the most ordinary coal.

Yet after Wei Qingyu used it for only a short while, the smoke emitted by the coal made her vision go black.

"Cough, cough! No, this isn't something a person can use at all!"

After saying that, Wei Qingyu decided to go out herself and see whether she could find some substitute for premium Coal Stones.

But before Wei Qingyu could even step out of the residence, several servants hurriedly blocked her way.

"Miss, things are rather chaotic outside right now. You'd better not go out."

Wei Qingyu was instantly speechless and directly questioned them, "I'm already this old. Do you people still need to control me just for going out?"

At that moment, the voice of Wei Qingshan, the Wei family patriarch, suddenly came from nearby.

"I gave that order. Daughter, you'd best not go out for a while."

Seeing that even her father had come over, Wei Qingyu asked in confusion, "Father, is East Desolation Commandery unsettled lately because the Cangshan Sword Sect was wiped out?"

Wei Qingshan's expression was clearly somewhat grave. He continued, "Daughter, it's not only the Cangshan Sword Sect."

"Something happened to the Gu family too."

At first, hearing about the Gu family, Wei Qingyu did not react.

Only after quite a while did Wei Qingyu realize that this Gu family was Gu Chen's family!

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

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

"Was he killed by villains already?"

Seeing his daughter react like this, Wei Qingshan was immediately puzzled.

He asked in confusion, "The Gu family has suffered misfortune, yet you seem very happy?"

Wei Qingyu hurriedly composed herself.

Putting on a worried expression, she asked, "Your daughter did have an engagement with Gu Chen of the Gu family, after all."

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

"I only hope Father can tell me whether Gu Chen has already been killed by villains."

Wei Qingshan had not expected his daughter to be such a loyal and righteous person.

He silently sighed and slowly said, "Ever since you broke off the engagement last time, Gu Chen ran away from home, so he was unharmed this time."

The moment she heard that Gu Chen had run away from home, Wei Qingyu was delighted.

She had not expected breaking off the engagement with Gu Chen to deal him such a severe blow!

But since it was not Gu Chen who had suffered misfortune, Wei Qingyu immediately lost interest.

She had wanted to return directly to the Training Hall and continue cultivating.

Yet Wei Qingshan's next words made all the blood in Wei Qingyu's body freeze solid.

"Poor Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun."

"They were both killed, and even dismembered!"

Wei Qingyu hurriedly turned around and asked with a terrified expression, "Father, what did you say?"

"The Gu family patriarch was killed?"

Wei Qingshan nodded and said regretfully, "Yes. I heard the villains chopped his entire body into eight pieces. He did not even have an intact corpse!"

"Many servants of the Gu family died too, and all those left behind fled. The entire Gu family looks like a living hell now. I didn't even dare go take a look."

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

In her previous life, Wei Qingyu had followed Gu Chen around all day, and her relationship with Gu Youwei had not been very good at first.

Later, Wei Qingyu saw through Gu Chen's ugly true colors, and she and Gu Youwei both cultivated to the Cultivation Level of Empresses.

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

Then according to the normal timeline, Gu Youwei had to still be at the Gu family right now!

Perhaps out of curiosity and gossip, or perhaps out of concern for an old friend, Wei Qingyu hurriedly asked, "Father, doesn't the Gu family have a younger daughter too? Her name is Gu Youwei. How is she?"

At that moment, Wei Qingyu feared that her father would say Gu Youwei was dead as well.

It was not that Wei Qingyu was especially worried about Gu Youwei.

The main reason was that in her previous life, even when the nine great Empresses joined forces, they had failed to kill Gu Chen.

If they were short one person from the very beginning in this life, their hope of killing Gu Chen might become even slimmer!

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

"Only Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun, the husband and wife, were killed."

"They originally had a son who did not die, but he was frightened mad. I heard he later drowned directly in a cesspit."

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

Wei Qingyu knew in her heart that Gu Youwei's Heavenly Dao Bone had been directly stolen by Gu Chen in her previous life.

That was why Gu Youwei's Cultivation Level had never been able to surpass Gu Chen's.

As for herself, Gu Chen had taught her the wrong cultivation method, which was why her Cultivation Level had never made much progress.

Having been reborn in this life, Wei Qingyu would absolutely not let anything like that happen again!

Thinking of this, Wei Qingyu had no intention of concerning herself with whether those people from the Gu family lived or died.

Because she had something more important to do now: rapidly raise her Cultivation Level.

And prepare for the upcoming Rookie Competition!

Lingxu Secret Realm, Third Divine Hall.

Shi Mengying never imagined that Gu Chen would directly injure her just to obtain the treasure!

And he had even stepped right over her head!

At that moment, feeling the pain coursing through her limbs and bones, Shi Mengying felt as though she would rather die than live.

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

This time, however, her injuries were clearly much more severe.

Shi Mengying felt as if her internal organs had all shifted out of place.

It showed that Gu Chen had truly struck with lethal intent at the time!

"Damn Gu Chen, you actually dared treat me like this!"

"The next time I see you, I'll definitely make you pay!"
