"You, all of you!"
Ma Gang raised his head, looked at Gu Huan and his group, gritted his teeth, and said, "Who are you?!"
"You brat, didn't you hear what we just said? We come from the Gu Family's main branch, the Land of Heaven and Earth!"
The man said coldly, "Remember this, your grandfather's name is Gu Xia!"
"The Gu Family's ancestral home? The Land of Heaven and Earth?"
Ma Gang gasped, utterly horrified.
"Not bad." Gu Huan stepped forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings before turning to Ma Gang. He said, "What kind of sect is your Heavenly Pivot Sect? You have such audacity to dare to boast that you'll wipe out our Gu Family! Where is our patriarch, Gu Changfeng?"
"Gu Changfeng is not worthy of being the head of the family at all!"
Just then, a man in his thirties came out and roared, "He has committed countless evils, incurring the wrath of both heaven and man, and deserves to be executed!"
"And who are you?" Gu Huan asked coldly, looking at the man.
"I am Gu Qichu Gu Family!" Gu Qichu said proudly. "Even if you come from the main branch of the Gu Family, you cannot harm people here at will. In three days, it will be the enthronement ceremony of the new head of the Gu Family. If you wish to observe, you may rest in the mansion. If you do not wish to, you may leave on your own!"
"That's utterly arrogant!"
Gu Xia laughed in anger, looking at Gu Qichu and saying, "Isn't Gu Kang the steward of the Shangjing Gu Family? Since when did it become your turn to take charge of things? The new head of the family? You dare to make decisions on your own without even informing our main family? Who gave you the guts to do that?"
As she spoke, Gu Xia took a step forward and rushed towards Gu Qichu.
He reached out and grabbed Gu Qichu by the collar, staring coldly at him, and said, "Speak!"
The astonishing aura emanating from the martial artist of the Revolving Illumination Realm was released with unrestrained arrogance. Gu Qichu felt as if he had been struck by a mad wolf, his heart filled with fear and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his mouth agape but unable to utter a word.
Gu Qichu was just a nobody at the Early Bone-Forge Realm. He had no status in the Gu Family before. He was only entrusted with an important task by Gu Chen at noon today, so he wanted to make a good impression.
But unexpectedly, this performance backfired.
He was stunned when his collar was suddenly pulled up, making it hard to breathe; he felt completely dumbfounded.
"Let him go!"
Just then, a deep, muffled sound echoed throughout the courtyard.
Immediately, a surge of energy rushed over!
Boom!
Like the sound of thunder, it arrived in an instant and rushed towards Gu Xia!
Although Gu Xia sensed it, she couldn't avoid it in time. Struck by the energy, her hand went numb, and she released Gu Qichu.
Then, with a gloomy expression, he turned his head to look at the direction from which the energy had come. There he saw an old man of about fifty years old standing there, who had just lowered his raised hand.
Who are you?
Gu Xia waved his hand. If he hadn't raised True Qi barrier at that moment, he would probably be injured now.
Even so, the back of his hand still burned with pain.
Now, he gritted his teeth, his tiger-like eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Zhao Bo.
"Zhao Bo of the Heavenly Pivot Sect!"
Zhao Bo said coldly, "You are all from the Gu Family's main branch, so you are guests and we welcome you. But if you are enemies, then don't blame me Zhao Bo being impolite!"
"What the hell is the Heavenly Pivot Sect?!"
Gu Huan stepped forward, slightly raising his chin, his expression grave, and said, "Your energy just now was clearly from the ' Undying Divine Skill.' Could it be that the Heavenly Pivot Sect has connections with the Zhao Family?"
Although they were in the Land of Heaven and Earth, the Gu Family family was no stranger to the major first-star sects in the Shangjing.
"That's none of your concern."
Zhao Bo looked at Gu Huan with a gloomy expression and said, "Our sect leader is not here right now. If you are looking for someone, you can wait until our sect leader returns. But if you dare to trespass, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"What a joke! This mansion belongs to the Gu Family. We can come and go as we please. Do we need an outsider's permission?"
Gu Huan sneered repeatedly. Suddenly, she realized something, waved her hand, and released a burst of True Qi, which struck the second-floor window!
Bang!
With a sharp crack, the second-floor window shattered.
Gu Beichi's face appeared at the window.
It turned out that Gu Beichi had turned on the light and looked out the window after hearing the noise downstairs, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Gu Huan.
Gu Huan saw Gu Beichi, her face immediately darkening. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Gu Huan!"
Amidst the shattered glass, Gu Beichi's face was icy as he looked at Gu Huan and said coldly, "You actually came to congratulate Gu Changfeng on his birthday!"
"Who do we have here? It's you!"
Gu Huan's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, "You've already been expelled from the Gu Family family, so why are you still Gu Family? Could it be that you're the one who brought this Heavenly Pivot Sect here?"
"Gu Huan, we already know that your clan supported Gu Changfeng in murdering the patriarch!"
Gu Beichi glared at Gu Huan with hatred and said, "Even if I'm not a member of the Gu Family, I stand on the side of morality!"
"Ridiculous! How dare you, a nobody, dictate what we, as family, do!"
Gu Huan looked at Gu Beichi with disdain and said, "I understand now. Your presence here must be related to Gu Changfeng and the downfall of the Gu Family today! You heartless bastard, you still hold a grudge about being expelled from the family, and now you've even come to my Gu Family family with outsiders to cause trouble! Today I'll capture you first, and then we'll make further plans!"
As she spoke, Gu Huan's eyes turned cold, and she leaped up, grabbing at Gu Beichi on the second floor.
"How dare I!"
But the moment she moved, accompanied by a loud shout, Zhao Bo also moved at the same time.
Gu Beichi is Gu Chen's father, and he is currently in poor health. How could he possibly be a match for Gu Huan, who comes from the Land of Heaven and Earth!
Whoosh!
While Zhao Bo was in mid-air, he swept his palm towards Gu Huan. A murderous aura flashed across the latter's face. After changing his move, the momentum remained undiminished as he swept towards Zhao Bo!
A muffled thud echoed from the void, and the two crashed to the ground upon impact.
The shockwave created ripples. After landing, Zhao Bo took three steps back, while Gu Huan took four steps back.
"Your strength is actually superior to mine?"
Although Zhao Bo came later but caught up first, Gu Huan still sensed the peculiarity of Zhao Bo's technique, which resembled the "Undying Divine Skill," but there were also differences. What bothered her the most was that, despite both being at the Early Revolving Illumination Realm, Zhao Bo had overpowered her in that brief exchange.
"Isn't it normal for me to surpass you under Master's tutelage?"
Zhao Bo sneered.
After being subdued by Ye Fei and his group from the Water Cloud Sect, Zhao Bo considered it a disgrace. In addition, he learned that Gu Chen had taken on a disciple named Zhuge Kun and that Gu Chen was planning to go to the Land of Heaven and Earth. The pressure on him increased, so he could not relax.
Therefore, during his time in the Shangjing, he had been cultivating under the guidance of the Jade Guanyin. Before going to the Gu Family, not only did Gu Chen help Gu Beichi break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm, but he also took the Yellow Rock Pill and attempted to break through as well.
However, Zhao Bo was too old to successfully break through the modified version of the "Undying Divine Skill," even with Gu Chen's guidance and the blessing of the Yellow Rock Pill.
He only reached the peak of the Early Revolving Illumination Realm!
Even so, it's enough to deal with Gu Huan!
"Gu Beichi is a traitor to my Gu Family!" Gu Huan said coldly, "It seems you're condoning evil and are truly going against my Gu Family! I warn you, even if you're not only at the Peak of the Early Revolving Illumination Realm, but even if you've reached the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm, you should know that we have three Revolving Illumination Realm!"
As Gu Huan finished speaking, Gu Xia and another man came to her side at the same time, surrounding Zhao Bo in a circle, releasing their murderous intent, and looking at him coldly.
