NOVPUBAt a brothel.
All around were nothing but corpses.
These corpses,
Some were male, others female, including both old and young.
Within one of the side rooms, several disdainful young men, each holding partially dressed women, surrounded by many women who served them tremblingly.
And on the floor of the room lay many more bodies.
"Come, let everyone drink to their heart’s content," a young man said with a reckless laugh, his right hand reached beneath the clothes of a woman in his arms, he squeezed harshly, pain was evident on her face, yet she dared not make a sound.
For those who had made noises beforehand had all become corpses unable to speak.
"Jiang, if the Guangyang Prince investigates our actions, it could be quite troublesome!"
Another young man appeared slightly worried.
To this,
Jiang Mo scoffed, "Afraid of the Guangyang Prince? Once the Tianyang Sword Sect arrives, Gu Yang and all behind him at the Gu Family Manor will inevitably be reduced to ashes."
"Do you really think that being a Great Grandmaster makes one invincible?"
"This world ultimately belongs to the likes of us from the Immortal Sects. A mere Great Grandmaster can’t stir up any big waves."
"Moreover, why should we, as disciples of the Taisu Sect, fear the power of a mere Martial Artist?"
"The Gu Family Manor has already offended the Tianyang Sword Sect, do they really have the courage to offend the Taisu Sect as well?"
Jiang Mo, with a face full of defiance and disdain, showed no respect for the Guangyang Prince or the Gu Family Manor in his words.
After all, in his view, the so-called Guangyang Prince and Gu Family Manor were nothing in the face of the Immortal Sect.
Not to mention the Guangyang Prince.
Even in the prime days of the Taixuan Dynasty, they had to behave courteously towards the Immortal Sect, fearing to offend them in the slightest.
Indeed,
Such dynastic powers were always supported by the noble families of the Immortal Sects.
The rise and fall of dynasties were under their control.
This,
was where Jiang Mo’s confidence stemmed from.
However,
Before long, the door of the room suddenly shattered, halting all noise within.
Gu Yi walked in slowly.
He glanced at the bodies on the floor, and his already indifferent expression seemed to become even colder.
At this moment,
Several disciples of the Taisu Sect, angry, one of them even dared to rebuke aloud,
"Who are you to cause trouble in the Taisu Sect’s territory—"
Before he had finished speaking, a flash of a knife and the young man’s head fell from his neck followed by a spurt of blood drenching those nearby.
"This, is Guangyang Prefecture, since when has it become the Taisu Sect’s territory!"
After slashing that Taisu Sect disciple, Gu Yi spoke slowly, his expression unchanged from beginning to end, as if killing a person was as easy for him as crushing an ant.
"By the order of the Guangyang Prince, anyone sowing chaos shall be executed!"
It was at this moment,
that Jiang Mo and the rest finally reacted.
Jiang’s gaze towards Gu Yi was shocked, and more so, furious.
"I am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Taisu Sect, my father is an elder. Kneel now and sever your arms, and maybe I’ll spare your worthless life.
Otherwise, I’ll make you wish for death that won’t come!"
Jiang Mo, a direct descendant of an elder of the Immortal Sect, was enraged beyond measure by this public disregard for his status.
Jiang Mo had already decided how he would torture the other party after Gu Yi voluntarily severed his own arms.
Unfortunately.
Jiang Mo’s idea was good, but Gu Yi did not speak; instead, he responded with a flash of his blade.
The moment the blade struck, Jiang Mo felt as though he had been targeted by some terrifying entity. Without thinking, he pulled someone standing next to him over.
At the same time.
He broke through the room and dashed outside.
Simultaneously.
The blade light slashed down.
An Inner Sect Disciple of Taisu Sect was cleft in two.
Gu Yi did not immediately pursue Jiang Mo, but struck again, slaughtering all remaining Taisu Sect Disciples on the spot.
Seeing Evil Spirits resurrecting from these bodies, Gu Yi had the Hidden Guards who had followed crush down all the resurrected Evil Spirits.
After finishing these tasks.
Gu Yi looked at the several women shivering in the corner, then stepped through the gap in the room and walked outside.
Outside the room.
Was the street.
Jiang Mo, who had initially burst from the room, had already been captured by the Hidden Guards, and many commoners as well as others were watching this scene.
The latter struggled frantically, bellowing, "My father is Elder Jiang Shidao of the Taisu Sect. Who dares to kill me?!"
"I dare to kill you!"
Gu Yi, expression cold, suddenly drew his long blade from his waist and beheaded Jiang Mo in an instant.
The expression on Jiang Mo’s severed head was full of astonishment; he clearly did not anticipate that Gu Yi would dare to strike him down, even after knowing his identity.
This scene.
Was also shocking to the onlookers.
"Jiang Mo is dead!"
"Hiss, does that Guangyang Prince truly not fear offending the Taisu Sect?"
"Publicly killing a disciple of an Immortal Sect; that Guangyang Prince is indeed courting death!"
"It seems that there will be a good show to watch next. It’s said that the powerhouse who came to Guangyang Prefecture this time from Taisu Sect is Jiang Shidao. Now that his son has died tragically at the hands of the Hidden Guards, he likely cannot remain seated anymore."
"Although that’s true, the strength of the Hidden Guards is good, having several Innate Grandmasters."
"Hmph, what use are many Innate Grandmasters when offending an Immortal Sect? Even a Great Grandmaster cannot escape death—"
Many power-holders were quietly discussing and looking at Gu Yi and other Hidden Guards as if looking at dead men.
In their view, by killing Jiang Mo and offending an Immortal Sect, not only was Gu Yi doomed, but even the Guangyang Prince behind him couldn’t escape involvement.
Regarding this.
These people were naturally reveling in schadenfreude.
Even though many forces were at odds with the Taisu Sect, they still hoped to see a tragic end for the Hidden Guards.
After all, when had a Magician ever fallen to being killed by a Martial Artist on the street?
Gu Yi’s execution did not only sever Jiang Mo’s head—it also cut down the dignity of Magicians.
At this time.
As Jiang Mo had died.
The Evil Spirit inside his body also resurrected.
The Hidden Guards were ready and immediately sealed the freshly resurrected Evil Spirit into a prepared Golden Coffin.
"Boom—"
At the moment the Hidden Guards sealed the Evil Spirit, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted, followed by the appearance of an old man in black robes soaring through the sky.
The sinister, chilling aura caused the temperature in the air to drop sharply.
Upon seeing Jiang Mo’s corpse, the old man in black robes’ pupils turned blood red, his face twisted with a ferocious intent to kill as he looked at Gu Yi, the leader.
"How dare you kill my son, old man will flay you and rip your tendons, torturing you slowly to death!"
