"Your Gu family didn't offend me directly. If you want to blame me, just blame that boy from your Gu family named Gu Sheng.
He didn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, so he provoked people he shouldn't have provoked, and offended my master.
Therefore, the master ordered me to come and destroy your Gu family as a warning to others."
He paused and glanced at the old, weak, women and children of the Gu family who were hiding in the distance, trembling with fear and daring not to run away again, his tone was filled with a hint of charity.
"However, my master is not completely unreasonable. Gu Lie, if you surrender now and follow me obediently, I might consider sparing the lives of the remaining... ants in your Gu family."
These words were like thunder, exploding in Gu Lie's ears. It was because of Yun'er! He understood instantly in his heart, and at the same time endless bitterness and worry surged up. What kind of terrible existence did Yun'er get into outside?
"Master! No!"
Although Gu Jianghe next to him was frightened, he still resisted the desire to vomit after hearing the words of the young man in black, and anxiously spoke out to dissuade him.
He could see that this man in black had no credibility at all!
Gu Lie raised his hand to stop what Gu Jianghe was saying.
He looked at the young man in black, his eyes full of determination. For the sake of the Gu family, and for the sake of these remaining clan bloodlines, he had no choice. Even if there was only one in ten thousand chance, he would give it a try.
"Okay! I'll go with you! I hope you keep your word and let me go and let the Gu family go!"
Gu Lie said in a deep voice, stepping forward, each step seemed to be of great importance.
"Master!"
Gu Jianghe's eyes are about to burst and he wants to stop him again.
Gu Lie turned back and took a deep look at Gu Jianghe. That look contained too many things - trust, determination, and a warning not to make unnecessary sacrifices. When Gu Jianghe came into contact with this look, all the words he said were stuck in his throat, leaving only endless sadness and powerlessness.
Seeing that Gu Lie was so "interesting", the young man in black seemed to be quite satisfied and nodded.
He raised his right hand, his fingers slightly spread, and a rich black energy like ink instantly condensed in his palm, turning into a huge claw that was burning like black flames. It reached out like lightning and imprisoned Gu Lie who was approaching! The black claw was like a cage, tightly binding Gu Lie, making him unable to move or even make a sound.
However, at the same time that Gu Lie was detained, the playful and cruel smile on the lips of the young man in black suddenly widened.
He waved his other hand casually in the direction of the Gu family's back house!
Suddenly, countless black qi machines as thin as hair but extremely fierce, like poisonous snakes with life, rushed into the back house overwhelmingly!
"Ah--!"
"Help!"
"No! Don't kill my child!"
"Uh-huh..."
In an instant, the Gu family's back house, which had been quiet for a while, once again heard continuous and extremely shrill screams! The sound was full of despair and pain, and it was horrifying to hear!
Gu Lie, who was imprisoned by the black claws, heard the screams from the back house, belonging to the old, weak, women and children, and his eyes instantly turned red! He struggled desperately, his eyes were about to split, and he roared in his throat, staring at the young man in black, his eyes filled with the anger of being deceived and overwhelming hatred!
"You... broke your promise! Beast!!!"
Gu Lie's voice became distorted and hoarse due to extreme anger and the restraint of the devil's claws.
"Breaking your word?"
The young man in black sneered disdainfully, the laughter was like Ye Xiao crying, making people shudder.
"When did I say that I will keep my word? I just said, 'Maybe you can consider it'. If you want to blame, blame your Gu family for giving birth to the disaster star Gu Sheng. It is your Gu family's 'honor' to be the tool to warn him."
His eyes turned and fell on Gu Jianghe, who was lying limply on the ground with a pale face, and his tone was as cruel as charity.
"As for you... I will spare your life as a dog. Remember, tell Gu Sheng that this is what will happen to him if he dares to provoke my master! Let him taste the taste of this lost dog! Hahaha..."
Amidst the wild laughter, the young man in black took Gu Lie, who was detained by the devil's claws and struggled to no avail. His body swayed and turned into a black smoke like a ghost, disappearing in an instant, leaving only the disgusting smell of blood and the cruel laughter reverberating in the air.
Half an hour later.
Wuyun City A large crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the Gu family's mansion. People pointed and talked at the open door and the bloody scene faintly visible inside, their faces full of fear and curiosity.
The Gu family is now at the height of its popularity. Who dares to be so cruel to the Gu family in broad daylight?
Suddenly, an extremely biting chill came without any warning, as if it was an instant transition from midsummer to severe winter! The onlookers shivered involuntarily, and the noisy discussion stopped abruptly.
I saw a cyan figure, as if tearing apart space, shooting from the end of the long street at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, and stopped in front of the Gu family door in an instant. The person who came was none other than Gu Sheng!
Behind him were dozens of Linlang Guards wearing silver armor and full of evil spirits. Their arrival brought an iron-blooded chilling aura, causing the surrounding crowd to subconsciously retreat and give way to a wide road.
Gu Sheng didn't even look at the onlookers with his eyes. He just released his true energy slightly, and an invisible wave of air gently but irresistibly pushed away the crowd blocking the front.
Wherever he passed, the moisture in the air seemed to condense into frost, and the temperature dropped sharply! The extremely cold aura shocked everyone so much that they closed their mouths and remained silent. They could only look at this young man who seemed to be returning with an endless storm with horrified eyes.
Gu Sheng's eyes were as cold as ice, and he stepped into the door of the Gu family's mansion.
When his eyes glanced at the scattered piles of corpses in the front yard, the thick blood that dyed the ground completely red, and the tragic scene like a slaughterhouse, the chill around him instantly turned into substantial anger!
A terrifying aura filled the air uncontrollably from his body, and the ground beneath his feet, the coagulated blood and minced meat, began to shake slightly! His fists suddenly clenched, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion, making a "click" sound.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, quickly sweeping across the entire front yard, and finally settled on a figure sitting paralyzed in a pool of blood, with empty eyes and dull eyes, as if his soul had been separated from the body - the only one left alive, First Elder Gu Jianghe.
Gu Sheng moved and instantly appeared in front of Gu Jianghe.
He knelt down and without any hesitation, he pointed out his fingertips, filled with extremely pure life energy, and pointed directly at the center of Gu Jianghe's eyebrows!
At the same time, a gentle but tenacious mental power, like a trickle, carefully penetrated into Gu Jianghe's sea of consciousness, which had almost collapsed due to excessive fear and stimulation, soothing its violent mental fluctuations and helping it regain its sanity.
Under the dual influence of Gu Sheng's true energy and spiritual power, Gu Jianghe's dull eyes finally regained some sparkle.
He raised his head blankly, and when he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Gu Sheng, he was like a drowning man grasping the last straw. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Sheng's arm with tears streaming down his face. His voice was hoarse and broken, full of endless sorrow.
"Second... Second Young Master! You... you are back! It's over... it's all over! The Gu family... the Gu family was attacked! The head of the house... the head of the house was kidnapped by a devil in black! All the clan members... except me, except me... were all... killed! Woo woo hoo..."
Although he had the worst guess in his mind, after hearing the confirmed news from Gu Jianghe's mouth, the murderous intent in Gu Sheng's eyes could no longer be suppressed and surged like real substance!
Boom! An even more terrifying momentum erupted with him as the center, and the ground in the entire front yard trembled slightly but clearly, as if it could not withstand his monstrous anger!
Imperial Sect! Wuyun City Gu family!
They suffered almost at the same time!
This is definitely no coincidence! It must be the work of the mastermind behind the destruction of the Imperial Sect!
"Who is it?"
Gu Sheng's voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all, as if it came from Abyssal Depths.
Gu Jianghe was so excited by this murderous intent that he trembled all over. He suddenly remembered what the young man in black said before leaving, and he quickly recounted it with tears.
"Then... the devil said... that it was because, Second Young Master, you provoked his master, and this... this is what will happen to you! He also said... and said..."
"What else can you say?!"
Gu Sheng pressed me, every word was filled with ice.
Gu Jianghe trembled and said with almost all his strength.
"He also said... If I want the master of the family to survive, I will ask you... to show up on time for the life and death competition in half a month, otherwise... otherwise, I will wait to collect the body of the master of the family..."
"Life and death battle?"
Gu Sheng's eyes burst with cold light.
"Where?"
Gu Jianghe shook his head blankly.
"He... he didn't say... he only left these words and disappeared with the head of the family..."
"No location information left?"
Gu Sheng's voice is horribly deep.
"No... no..."
Gu Jianghe felt the murderous intention in Gu Sheng that was almost destroying everything. He lowered his head in fear, then suddenly raised his head, grabbed Gu Sheng's sleeves, and begged.
"Second Young Master! Please! We must save our master! We must avenge the dead clan members! The Gu family... the Gu family all depends on you!"
The moment Gu Jianghe finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The voice of the young man in black who had disappeared suddenly sounded out of thin air again like a ghost, full of banter and ridicule, echoing over the bloody courtyard.
"Tsk tsk, Gu Sheng, you are not slow in coming. It seems that you are very satisfied with this 'gift'? Remember, your father Gu Lie is in my hands now. If you want to save him, in half a month, at 3:00 noon, show up on time for the life and death competition at the top of 'Soul Severing Cliff'!
Don't wait until late! Of course, if you dare not come, or are late... then be prepared to collect the mutilated bones of your useless father! Hahahahaha..."
The sound was eerie and uncertain, as if coming from all directions, and there was no way to capture its source.
Gu Sheng His eyes were as cold as the abyss of eternity. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes like two actual electric lights, scanning the void, trying to find the person who transmitted the message or the traces he left behind.
"Where is my father being imprisoned?"
He asked coldly, his voice extremely penetrating, trying to reverse the lock.
The joking voice sounded again, with unabashed mockery.
"The place of detention? Of course it's a secret! You will know it when you get to Soul Severing Cliff! Now? Just wait! Remember, Soul Severing Cliff will fight to the death for half a month! Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences! Hahaha..."
As the last wild laughter gradually dissipated in the air, the remaining mental fluctuations completely disappeared without any trace.
"You are responsible for the consequences?"
Gu Sheng repeated these four words in a low voice.
The next moment--
Boom!!!
With his feet as the center, terrifying power exploded! The solid ground cracked instantly as if it had been hit by a meteorite, and countless cracks spread crazily in all directions like spider webs! The entire front yard of the Gu family trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred!
And Gu Sheng's figure disappeared in an instant amidst the dust and blood foam flying in the sky!
Only the mountain of corpses and sea of blood that filled the courtyard were left, as well as Gu Jianghe, who was slumped in a pool of blood, intertwined with despair and hope, and the shocking huge crack mark in the center of the courtyard, silently telling the story of the terrifying murderous intention that had just erupted in an instant and was enough to destroy the world!
And the figure of Gu Sheng disappeared in an instant amid the flying dust and blood foam!

Almost at the same time that Gu Sheng's figure disappeared, a few streets away from the Gu family's residence, in the shadow of a quiet and deserted alley, the space was slightly distorted, and a young figure Dao Body dressed in black slowly condensed and took shape.
It was the person who transmitted the message and joked before, or in other words, it was the clone of his spiritual imprint that contained his will and voice.
He still had a cruel and joking smile on his face that showed his plan had succeeded, and he was about to disperse this ray of mental power.
"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, no matter how talented you are, you are just a plaything in the master's hand... huh?"
He was secretly feeling proud in his heart, when suddenly, a sense of extreme crisis originating from the depths of his soul was like ice water pouring on him, causing his mental imprint to fluctuate violently!
Before he even had time to react, let alone think about where this sense of crisis came from, he felt a sword light with an indescribable speed, as if born from nothingness, spanning the distance of space, and suddenly lit up in his perception!
Fast! Incomprehensibly fast!
Beyond the speed of thought!
The next moment, the spiritually imprinted clone of the young man in black felt a chill on his neck, and his vision began to spin.
He "saw" a headless body of spiritual power that was slowly dissipating. The remaining expression on the body was still frozen with the previous joking and a hint of surprise that had just surfaced.
