Big Brother! Second Sister Brought a Man Home!

"Hoo..."

After organizing and summarizing the new information in his mind, Gu Cheng let out a breath of stale air and slowly opened his eyes. A divine light seemed to flash and disappear in the depths of his dark pupils.

The soul remnant of an Innate Realm Demonic Grandmaster was indeed a great treasure.

Just emptying his foundation cost Gu Cheng nearly seven hundred years of lifespan!

That's almost fourteen Tang Yuans!

"But fortunately, my blind box opening this time has been very fruitful..."

A slight smile curved Gu Cheng's lips.

After digesting the information that appeared in his mind, he gained a deeper understanding of the Demonic Grandmaster's life and the secret techniques he cultivated.

The most significant gain was Li Yunhe's awakened Innate Divine Ability – Destructive Wound.

This could be seen from the wound on Tang Lingyu's waist just now.

The ability of this 'Destructive Wound' Divine Ability was extremely disgusting and malicious, a fantasy version of 'Divine Edge Unseen'!

As long as one landed a surprise slash, the unhealable wound would continue to bleed profusely until death from blood loss. It was truly a divine skill for torturing enemies.

It could also often achieve miraculous effects against opponents with extremely strong recovery abilities.

It was a pity that this extremely malicious Innate Divine Ability was a bit of a double-edged sword for Gu Cheng.

He cultivated three techniques simultaneously, and his cultivation had already reached a perfect state, far surpassing ordinary Innate Grandmasters.

Under his terrifying output, enemies he encountered were basically killed in one move. Where would he need to "inflict severe wounds" to suppress enemy recovery?

Unless he was facing demon and evil cultivators who were tough-skinned, thick-blooded, and possessed powerful recovery abilities, this divine ability could be useful.

In addition to this Innate Divine Ability that was only effective in high-end matches.

Gu Cheng also obtained his core objective for this trip in advance – the third volume of the "Blood Blade Scripture."

"It's a pity it's an incomplete volume. Otherwise, if I cultivated it directly, I would be promoted to Innate Grandmaster in minutes."

Gu Cheng sighed inwardly. He dared not cultivate such a castrated, defective product.

What if there were any backdoors left? Wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he cultivated it?

Anyway, when he went to the Blood Lady's secret stronghold in 'Liuchun County', he would be able to obtain a complete cultivation method. There was no need to rush.

Moreover, with Li Yunhe's soul remnant assisting him, it should be very easy for him to get started with cultivating this demonic cultivation method of the Innate Realm, right?

"But speaking of Liuchun County..."

Gu Cheng galloped on his horse, his ink-black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

He gazed at the rolling sea of clouds in the sky, his deep eyes flashing with a cold glint.

By awakening Li Yunhe's soul remnant, he learned a lot of the latest intelligence about the remnants of the 'Blood Blade Sect'.

In the great purge of Tianshui Prefecture a year ago.

The Demon Suppression Bureau, with lightning speed, forcefully razed the Blood Blade Sect's lair. Most of the high-level members were executed, and only a few remnants like the Blood Lady survived.

Among them, an Innate Realm elder who escaped death, upon learning that his sect was destroyed, proclaimed himself the new sect master of the Blood Blade Sect.

He spread the evil cultivation method "Blood Blade Scripture" everywhere, causing unrest in Tianshui Prefecture.

At the same time, he was secretly recruiting personnel and accumulating strength, intending to rebuild the Blood Blade Sect!

And according to Li Yunhe's remnant soul.

The secret stronghold of this new Blood Blade Sect was established in the deep mountains and old forests outside Liuchun County, a place rarely frequented by humans.

"Interesting. What kind of magic does this Liuchun County have?

Why do these demonic cultists from the Blood Blade Sect like to flock here?"

Gu Cheng's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and he pondered in his heart.

If he thought about it, he was an "old acquaintance" with the remnants of the Blood Blade Sect.

He naturally had no good feelings towards this demonic force whose vitality was as tenacious as a cockroach and which was always causing trouble.

Seeing that the Blood Blade Sect had signs of making a comeback, he naturally would not ignore it.

"Since it's on the way this time, after I successfully advance to Innate Grandmaster, I'll deal with this scourge as a side task..."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

As dusk approached.

The bloody red of the setting sun spilled across the sky, painting the world in a gorgeous golden-red hue.

The tall Flood Dragon Horse galloped through the twilight, finally stopping in front of a manor built against the mountain.

On the vermilion plaque, the three gilded characters [Tang Family Fortress] shone brightly under the setting sun.

"We've arrived. This is my home."

Tang Lingyu dismounted, her movements clean and efficient.

Gu Cheng also jumped off his horse, taking in the sight of the rather large manor.

The towering courtyard walls and imposing guards all spoke of the owner's power.

"Second Miss!"

The two guards at the gate immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Tang Lingyu, their eyes filled with awe.

Tang Lingyu nodded slightly, tossed the reins to one of the guards, and led Gu Cheng through the main gate.

Passing the screen wall, the view opened up before them.

Rock gardens, flowing water, pavilions, and towers—the exquisite layout exuded a sense of understated luxury.

As the personal disciple of the Grand Governor of Tianshui Prefecture and a once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy.

Tang Lingyu's status in the Tang Family Fortress was naturally extraordinary. As they walked, servants and guards they passed all bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with admiration and worship.

However, when they saw Gu Cheng following behind Tang Lingyu, their gazes turned peculiar.

"Who is this pretty boy? Why is he following Second Miss?"

"Could it be that Second Miss found someone she fancies outside and is bringing him back to meet the family?"

"How is that possible! Isn't Second Miss solely focused on cultivation and never interested in men?"

The hushed whispers reached Gu Cheng's ears, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard them.

This feeling of being watched, of having eyes on his back, was something he had grown accustomed to when he was at the Demon Suppression Bureau in Changle County.

Passing through a winding corridor, the two arrived at a spacious courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, a little girl of about seven or eight was practicing martial arts.

She was dressed in a red training outfit, her hair tied in two cute buns. She looked like a delicate carving, extremely adorable, and bore a strong resemblance to Tang Lingyu.

Although she was still young, her every move was powerful and swift, clearly showing she had put in considerable effort.

"That's my little sister, Tang Lingshan," Tang Lingyu whispered, her voice filled with pride. "Her martial arts talent since childhood has never been inferior to mine. She is the rising star of our Tang family."

Gu Cheng looked at the small figure, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. For a martial artist, persistence was key. This young girl, at such a tender age, possessed such willpower; her future was undoubtedly limitless.

"Second Sister?"

Tang Lingshan, engrossed in her practice, suddenly sensed something and turned around, spotting a familiar figure. With a joyous cry, she darted forward like a happy lark, burying herself in Tang Lingyu's arms.

"You little rascal, why are you still so clumsy..." Tang Lingyu affectionately stroked her sister's small head and asked softly, "Why are you practicing so diligently today?"

"Hehe, it's because I want to get stronger quickly and become a martial arts master like you, Second Sister!" Tang Lingshan tilted her small face up, grinning. "Oh, right, Second Sister, have you been doing well at the Demon Suppression Bureau lately? Have you encountered any bad guys? Have you fought with anyone? Huh? Why is your clothes torn..."

Tang Lingshan, like a curious little sparrow, chattered away incessantly. Suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, her gaze swept past Tang Lingyu and landed on the young man in black who had followed them, causing her to stop her questions.

"Hello."

Gu Cheng noticed the little girl's inquisitive gaze and greeted her with a smile.

"..."

Tang Lingshan took a deep breath, looked at her Second Sister, then at this exceptionally handsome big brother. Her pair of dark, bright eyes sparkled with excitement and gossip.

"Lingshan, this is..."

Tang Lingyu was about to introduce him when her sister's sudden action interrupted her. Tang Lingshan abruptly let go of her arm, turned, and dashed back into the house, shouting excitedly as she ran, "Big Brother! Big Brother!!! It's terrible! Second Sister brought a man back! I'm going to have a brother-in-law soon!"

Tang Lingyu: "!!!"

Gu Cheng: "???"
