An astonishing killing intent was unleashed arrogantly at this moment!
The phone in Gu Chen's hand seemed about to be crushed into pieces in an instant!
Rage surged to the heavens, and murderous intent surged like a tidal wave!
The three members of the Situ family were the first to be hit, all knocked over by the murderous aura and falling to the ground.
Their faces showed shock again. It turned out that Gu Chen hadn't used his full strength when he fought them earlier!
The energy he's releasing now, whether it's his absolute best or not, is so powerful that just being enveloped by this wave of energy makes them feel like they've fallen into an ice cellar, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance!
Situ Qingshi, despite being Middle Revolving Illumination Realm martial artist, was like a child facing a strong man under Gu Chen's pressure. He couldn't even stand up, let alone fight back.
Noticing Gu Chen's embarrassed expression and the aura that suddenly erupted from him, a thought flashed through their minds.
Who on earth has provoked this wicked star to such fury?
But Gu Chen didn't say anything more. He gave the three of them one last cold look, then turned and left the Situ residence.
Yu Sheng naturally followed, and soon, accompanied by the sound of a car engine at the door, they drove away into the distance.
"Call..."
After Gu Chen left, Situ Qingshi slowly got up from the ground.
But even at this moment, his legs were still a little weak, and he himself didn't know it. He slowly squatted down and then picked up the invitation.
Unfolding the invitation and looking at the large, gold-embossed characters inside, Situ Qingshi's expression shifted uncertainly.
"Father, are we really going to attend his so-called enthronement ceremony?"
Situ Xiaosen remained silent, his thoughts unknown, but Situ Yunqi couldn't hold back any longer and said through gritted teeth, "Our Situ Clan has a history spanning hundreds of years and is the largest and most powerful family in the Shangjing. Moreover, our main branch is not weak in the Land of Heaven and Earth either. Are we just going to let this go after being so harassed and humiliated by Gu Chen today?"
"No, then what do you want?"
Situ Qingshi whirled around, his tiger-like eyes flashing with terror and anger. He said, "You saw it yourself! Gu Chen didn't even use any cultivation techniques. He completely crushed us with just some basic martial arts moves. In the Shangjing, no one is his match anymore!"
"But..."
"No buts!" Situ Qingshi's voice trembled as he said, "Also, I just remembered something. Do you remember the Aristocratic Family Assembly half a month ago? There was a young man who wasn't even afraid of Zhuge Wangyue, and in the end, he even took the Yellow Rock Grass, causing the aristocratic families to lose face!"
"Could that be Gu Chen?" Situ Xiaosen's body trembled, and he couldn't help but interject, "But back then, I heard that the young man's cultivation wasn't high, not even at the Revolving Illumination Realm!"
"In my estimation, that young man must be Gu Chen! Only he fits all these conditions!" Situ Qingshi's eyes trembled as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "At that time, he either concealed his strength or his strength was insufficient. If it was the latter, how could he have improved to such a level in just half a month..."
Situ Qingshi couldn't bring himself to say the rest, because if it were true, then Gu Chen's terrifying power was beyond their imagination!
"Is the Wang Gui's legacy really that powerful?"
The three members of the Situ Clan simultaneously felt an immense pressure bearing down on their shoulders, so heavy that they could barely breathe.
"We... we should notify our main family!" Situ Xiaosen's eyes flashed as he said, "If it's confirmed that Gu Chen possesses cultivation techniques, and that he is the thief who stole the Yellow Rock Grass, not only our Situ Clan, but also the other six great families in the Land of Heaven and Earth will not let him go!"
"A notification is definitely necessary."
Situ Qingshi said in a deep voice, "But we must go in three days!"
He paused, then looked at his eldest son again and said, "At that time, for the sake of the Situ Clan's future, Xiaosen, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer."
"Understood!" Situ Xiaosen lowered his head, his face filled with humiliation and hatred, which he didn't let his father see.
"Alright, the luckiest thing today is that Gu Chen arrived ahead of time, and we didn't go looking for trouble with him. Otherwise, our Shangjing Situ would have been doomed."
With a heavy sigh, Situ Qingshi waved his hand and turned to enter the living room.
Sitting in the car, Gu Chen's face was full of ugliness.
Jiang Qi just made a phone call and said only two words, "Help!"
Then he heard a commotion on the other end of the line, and the phone was snatched and hung up!
Without much thought, Gu Chen knew that the Gu Family must have encountered trouble again. But to be honest, the sects or families that were on good terms with the Gu Family were all intimidated by him at the birthday banquet. Even the Situ Clan, since he personally came to the banquet to deliver the invitation, had no reason to attack the Gu Family.
The remaining opponent, whom even Zhao Bo, Peak of the Early Revolving Illumination Realm, couldn't handle, must be someone of considerable importance.
Furthermore, with his father Gu Beichi still recuperating at the Gu Family, Gu Chen was extremely anxious and worried.
"Faster!"
Gu Chen urged.
"That's the fastest we can go." Yu Sheng's face was also grave. He asked, "Young Master Gu, what happened?"
"You are to prepare to gather your Honghe Sect and be ready at any time."
Gu Chen thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If there are any situations that I can't handle, and I need your manpower and informants, you must help me immediately."
"No problem."
Yu Sheng readily agreed, then took out his phone and began giving instructions.
Upon arriving at the Gu Family, Gu Chen caught a whiff of blood, and his heart skipped a beat.
After the fight that happened at noon today, the Gu Family family had cleaned up the mess around them. Even if there was a smell, it couldn't possibly be this pungent.
Sure enough, upon entering the mansion courtyard, they saw that in addition to the traces of the daytime, there were many new signs of damage. Moreover, on the steps at the entrance, Ma Gang and Gu Qichu's bodies lay limp, their fate unknown.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, took a few quick steps forward, and then reached out a finger to check their breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they had only fainted.
Then, Gu Chen glanced over and discovered that Ma Gang had one arm severed, and not just broken, but cut off!
Blood flowed, staining several steps red, and Gu Chen's eyes instantly turned bloodshot at the sight of Ma Gang's empty right shoulder.
Damn it!
Although Ma Gang was not exactly his confidant, much less his disciple, he was still a grassroots martial artist who had followed him step by step since he wanted to establish the Heavenly Pivot Sect.
He had always relied on Zhao Bo to teach him, and had never personally taught Ma Gang and Jiang Qi, but that didn't mean he had no feelings for them!
On Heavenly Nether Star, Gu Chen eventually became the leader of a sect and was revered as Divine Emperor, but at the same time, he was also extremely protective of his own!
Ma Gang is his man!
To harm him is to harm Gu Chen!
What's more, it was such a cruel thing to sever his arm!
Boom!
With his Divine Sense released, Gu Chen's Divine Sense instantly covered the entire Gu Family mansion!
