Arrogant beyond measure
If Gu Yuanqing intended to avoid it, the Sanyang Sect members wouldn't have been able to find him at all with their blind search.
Although I came to the Ancient Realm to seek fortuitous opportunity, it's alright if I clash head-on with the Sanyang Sect.
However, this does not mean that he would swallow his anger.
When I first came to the Boundless River, I kept a low profile to avoid trouble, even changing fishing spots every few days. But in the end, I still encountered many problems.
Now, there are few things in the Ancient Realm that he can truly fear, so why should he still be wary?
Since the Sanyang Sect is persisting, let's just kill them until they dare not come again.
Gu Yuanqing stood up and calmly pocketed the Profound Tier Dao Soul that had suddenly taken the bait. At this moment, the Three Heavenly Humans of the Sanyang Sect seemed to have noticed him as well. They descended with their escape light and stood thirty feet away and ten feet high in the Void, looking at Gu Yuanqing.
The leader was still Liu Ruiyuan, and there was another person Gu Yuanqing was very familiar with— Chen Baotian, whom he had killed once before.
At this moment, Chen Baotian's aura was weak, clearly indicating that he was still only a wisp of his soul, and his strength had only just reached the level of Celestial Person being.
"Senior Brother, it's him!" Chen Baotian's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Gu Yuanqing.
His Divine Soul was almost completely destroyed when he entered the Ancient Realm last time, Primordial Spirit was severely injured. It is unknown how many years it will take for him to recover. Without being able to reach his Peak state, he will not be able to survive the upcoming Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change.
With the accumulated Tribulation Qi, the hope will be even slimmer when the next Heavenly Tribulation arrives.
This means that his lifespan is only about a hundred years!
How could he not hate him? He wished he could tear Gu Yuanqing to pieces!
Liu Ruiyuan scrutinized Gu Yuanqing from head to toe and said, "Your surname is Gu?"
Gu Yuanqing calmly put the Fishing Gear into his Storage Bag, glanced indifferently at Chen Baotian, then looked at Liu Ruiyuan before saying indifferently, "What is it?"
When Chen Baotian and Gu Yuanqing's eyes met, the scene from that day seemed to reappear before their eyes, and a sense of fear involuntarily rose in their hearts.
"You killed Sanyang Sect Elder, shouldn't you give an explanation?" Liu Ruiyuan said.
Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
Liu Ruiyuan slowly said, "Considering your excellent fishing skills, and the fact that my Sanyang Sect has always valued Illusionary Spirit Sect and join my Sanyang Sect, not only will I forgive and forget past grievances, but the Sanyang Sect can also treat you as Guest Elder."
Gu Yuanqing was about to speak.
Suddenly, a soft sigh rang out.
"Isn't it a bit too much for the Sanyang Sect to undermine my Illusionary Spirit Sect's foundation on the Boundless River?"
As the voices spoke, Lu Zeyu's figure slowly appeared, but only a Split Soul his consciousness came.
However, Liu Ruiyuan still felt a little uneasy. After all, Lu Zeyu was the leader of a sect, whose strength and status were above his own. Nevertheless, he was not afraid. He gave Lu Zeyu a forced smile and said, "Sect Master Lu, this is a feud between my Sanyang Sect and him. It has nothing to do with the Illusionary Spirit Sect."
Lu Zeyu said, "Elder Liu, you are mistaken. He is Guest Elder of my Illusionary Spirit Sect, so naturally he is related to my Illusionary Spirit Sect."
"Is the Illusionary Spirit Sect going to take over the grudge of him killing my Sanyang Sect Elder? If so, I, Liu, will go back and report to the Sect Master. Although the Illusionary Spirit Sect Exquisite World Ranking, this matter cannot be left unresolved," Liu Ruiyuan said coldly.
Lu Zeyu frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yuanqing. Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "Since you dare to attack me, you should be prepared to be killed. This matter has nothing to do with the Sect Master; I will take responsibility for this grudge myself."
Liu Ruiyuan looked at Lu Zeyu and said, "Sect Master Lu, it seems that this Guest Elder Gu of your Sect is unwilling to accept your kindness. Moreover, he himself has already admitted to this matter, and the facts are undeniable. Non-Self Sanyang Sect is being unreasonable. Are you sure you still want to interfere in this matter, Sect Master Lu?"
Chen Baotian shouted with hatred, "Sect Master Lu, this Gu fellow has severed my Divine Soul and cut off my Dao Path. You wouldn't be trying to protect the murderer, would you?"
Lu Zeyu glanced at Chen Baotian.
Chen Baotian looked as if he had seen something terrifying; his eyes widened in horror, and he staggered backward until he finally fell from the sky.
Liu Ruiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he formed a hand seal and shouted loudly.
Chen Baotian shuddered, regained his senses, and steadied himself, only to find himself drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through.
Liu Ruiyuan roared, "Sect Master Lu, do you want to start a war with my Sanyang Sect?"
Lu Zeyu said calmly, "Who gave him the audacity to speak to me like that?"
Gu Yuanqing glanced at Lu Zeyu. The fact that the Illusionary Spirit Sect could rank second in the Exquisite World was indeed remarkable.
Lu Zeyu was only partially at Split Soul Divine Transformation stage, and his aura was only at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change realm. Yet, with just a glance, he caused Celestial Person being like Chen Baotian to fall into an illusion without realizing it.
This shows that both the Cultivation Method of the Illusionary Spirit Sect and Lu Zeyu's mastery of Illusion Technique techniques are extremely profound.
Liu Ruiyuan looked coldly at Lu Zeyu and said, "Does the Sect Master truly intend to accept this grudge?"
Lu Zeyu glanced back at Gu Yuanqing, then looked at Liu Ruiyuan and said calmly, "Elder Liu Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, and has cultivated the Mysterious Sun True Scripture to the point of Yang Extremity Begets Yin. He also High Grade Law Artifact such as the Nine Yang Cauldron and the Floating Dust Seal in the Ancient Realm. Could it be that you intend to bully the weak and take action yourself?"
Liu Ruiyuan said, "There's no need for Sect Master Lu to worry about that. Sect Master Lu only needs to give one word. If you really want to intervene, I, Liu, will leave immediately without hesitation. The rest will be decided by my sect Sect Master."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I, Gu, also wish to test the abilities of the Elder of the Sanyang Sect! It seems the entire sect is filled with domineering and unreasonable individuals." Gu Yuanqing was unwilling to owe this favor; his relationship with the Illusionary Spirit Sect was not deep.
Lu Zeyu smiled upon hearing this, stepped aside, and said, "In that case, please make yourselves at home!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zeyu stepped aside, but did not leave.
Liu Ruiyuan's face was gloomy. Lu Zeyu had not expressed his opinion from beginning to end, which meant that he might intervene at any time. Moreover, as long as he was there, there was no way that this Divine Fishing surnamed Gu would leave the Illusionary Spirit Sect and join the Sanyang Sect.
At the same time, he couldn't just leave like that. Gu Yuanqing had admitted to killing the Divine Soul of the Sanyang Sect Elder Ancient Realm elder, Gu Jie, and outsiders knew about it. If he did nothing and just left, what would become of the Sanyang Sect's reputation?
Even though the Sect now suspects that Gu Yuanqing comes from the Primordial Realm, they are in a difficult position and have no choice but to fight!
Gu Yuanqing leaped forward, standing at the same level as the others from the Sanyang Sect. Looking at Chen Baotian, he chuckled, "Last time I let a wisp of your Divine Soul escape from the Ancient Realm. I wonder how much cultivation you'll have left after I killed your body."
Chen Baotian clenched his fists and roared, "This is utterly outrageous!"
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Come at me all at once!"
