Third Sister, Brother-in-law, and Nephew Have Arrived

At the foot of Heaven Pillar Peak lies an Ice Grotto, where the temperature is extremely low and the cold is bone-chilling.

Gu Hongyan sat quietly with her eyes closed, completely absorbed in her cultivation.

She knew that only by cultivating to the Martial Sovereign Realm as quickly as possible could she possibly fight against the incomparably powerful Jiang Xukong.

Jiang Xukong has already reached the Half-Saint realm, and his strength is unfathomable. This is undoubtedly an insurmountable peak.

But Gu Hongyan's belief was unwavering; she had to defeat Jiang Xukong. Only then would her grandfather Gu Qingshu, not stop her from leaving the mountain to find Hua Xingchen and her son, Hua Qiang.

The thought of Hua Xingchen filled Gu Hongyan with endless longing and concern.

I wonder how he is doing now, being in the Demon Suppressing Abyss?

Is he safe and sound?

As for Jiang Xukong, is he still at the Half-Saint Realm, or has he already made a breakthrough?

These unknowns filled Gu Hongyan with worry and unease.

However, she didn't have time to worry too much; she had to seize every minute and second and devote herself to cultivation.

Gu Hongyan slowly activated her magic, beginning to absorb the surrounding icy energy.

This was a low- Earth Grade technique she obtained from her Lineage's armory, but unfortunately it was incomplete, so it was downgraded to Mysterious Grade.

Because the body was incomplete and could not be repaired, the aftereffects were severe, and no one in the Lineage practiced this method.

In order to become stronger quickly, Gu Hongyan resolutely chose to cultivate, and for this, she had to endure the bitter Cold Poison every now and then.

At this moment, streams of icy cold energy continuously flowed into her body, as if trying to freeze her body.

But Gu Hongyan was not afraid at all. With her indomitable will and firm belief, she transformed the power of the ice into her own energy.

Her face was solemn, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her body trembled slightly, but she never gave up.

To achieve our goal, we will give it our all!

Ta-da!

A series of hurried footsteps instantly shattered the tranquility inside the cave.

The sound grew closer, carrying a sense of urgency and anxiety, as if something extremely urgent was about to happen.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Gu Qingfeng's urgent and excited voice echoed through the cave, "Third Sister, Third Sister, the Great Joy has come out!"

Gu Hongyan was immersed in her cultivation when Gu Qingfeng disturbed her, causing her to slightly furrow her willow-leaf-shaped brows.

A hint of displeasure flashed across her stunningly beautiful face. She had no choice but to stop her cultivation, slowly opening her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water. Looking at Gu Qingfeng, who had rushed over, she asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"

Gu Qingfeng's face was flushed, and his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

He gasped for breath and said excitedly, "Big Sister, it's a huge surprise! Third Sister! Do you know who's here?"

Do you know what happened outside? The scene was simply unbelievable!

As he spoke, he gestured wildly, as if he were the one who had caused the earth-shattering event outside.

"Stop, stop, stop, little brother, what exactly happened? Tell your third sister slowly."

Hahaha...

Gu Qingfeng burst into laughter first, and then said, "Third Sister, my nephew is here!"

"Nephew? What nephew?" Gu Hongyan asked, puzzled.

"Oh dear, look at my brain, why is it so slow?"

"It's Hua Qiang, your son, and your brother-in-law Hua Xingchen are here too!"

What?

Gu Hongyan couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped up, grabbed Gu Qingfeng's shoulder, and shook him repeatedly.

"Little brother, you're telling me that this is the real thing, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"The stars have arrived, and so has I, Qiang'er?"

But then she withdrew her hand, her mood sinking.

"Little brother, I know you're just trying to make me happy by making up this lie."

"Thank you, Third Sister!"

"How could Xingchen possibly be here? He should be in the Demon Suppressing Abyss right now, and how could Qiang'er possibly have found his way here?"

"Even if he manages to come to our Gu Family's territory, he probably won't be able to get past the guards."

"Oh dear, Third Sister, can't you be a little more open-minded? My nephew, he's simply inhuman!"

"What do you mean?" Gu Hongyan asked Gu Qingfeng, puzzled.

"You don't know, that Hua Qiang... oh my god, as his uncle, I'm so proud!"

"That kid is amazing. I wonder what he eats?"

"They actually cultivated to such a powerful level!"

"All of our family's guards on the mountain were beaten down by him."

The Eldest Brother Gu Xuanfeng, led his men to cause trouble for them, but Jie Kuo was also defeated.

Even our old man, sigh, you didn't see it, he was slapped hundreds of meters away by Hua Qiang, and now we don't even know... uh, how he is?"

"What? Is Qiang'er really that reckless?"

"Did they even hit his uncle and his maternal grandfather?" Gu Hongyan exclaimed in surprise, patting her ample breasts repeatedly.

"Uh... I guess... he doesn't know them, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to make a move!"

Gu Qingfeng offered a self-righteous and far-fetched explanation.

However, he didn't know that his explanation was the closest to the truth.

"Later, Jiang Xukong, along with Zuo Yuyang and the other two, also arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they ran into Hua Qiang and the others."

Ah--

Gu Hongyan was shocked and then said anxiously, "What if Qiang'er encounters them? Won't he suffer a great loss?"

"No, I have to stop them!"

Gu Hongyan lifted her leg to walk out, but Gu Qingfeng grabbed her arm.

"Third sister, what's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"They ran into each other, and they even fought."

"You know what? When I saw that scene, I was a little doubtful about people."

"That Jiang Xukong Half-Saint Realm, yet he was actually defeated by my nephew, Hua Qiang!"

"Oh my, you didn't see it! That kid is amazing. I don't even know how many likes I gave him. Look at my voice, it's a little hoarse from shouting 'Awesome' in my heart."

"How is that possible? How could Qiang'er possibly defeat Jiang Xukong?"

That's a being at the Half-Saint Realm!

"How old is Qiang'er? 18, right? Could he possibly be more powerful than Jiang Xukong, who is at the Half-Saint Realm?"

"Heh, that's more than just impressive, it's inhumanly impressive!"

"Third sister, didn't you see? He seriously injured that old man with just one stab!"

"Our grandpa was so shocked back then, his mouth was so open you could fit two fists in it. He's probably still standing there dumbfounded, too scared to move!"

"Such exciting news, I came to tell Third Sister right away."

"Third sister, let's go out. Now no one dares to stop you, and no one can stop you from reuniting with Hua Xingchen and my nephew's family of three."

"I believe Grandpa is now eager for you to be reunited, and Hua Qiang will not hold his past actions against him."

"And besides, Grandpa will try to curry favor with you and flatter you rotten!"

"That old man is very snobbish, Third Sister, you need to be fully prepared. When he starts flattering you, it will absolutely disgust you!"

A cold snort came from outside the cave, "Fourth brother, are you itching for a beating? Daring to talk behind your grandfather's back, just wait for the family rules to be applied!"
