True Yang Sect.
Now, it was a scene of utter despair.
One could only see bodies lying all over, each face frozen in a rigid expression of terror, as if they had witnessed something horrifying just before their deaths.
And from the main hall of the True Yang Sect, there came the wailing of a woman and the crazed and brutal laughter of a man.
The Sect Master, True Yang Elder, now had all his limbs twisted, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, his eyes nearly bursting as he watched the scene unfold before him.
A young woman had her limbs twisted and was being violated by a young man without restraint.
After a long while.
The young man’s face broke into a satisfied smile, then casually snapped the woman’s neck and tossed her body in front of the True Yang Elder.
"Good, I didn’t expect such a fine creature from a minor place like White Stone Dao. Impressive, indeed!"
Ning Fu licked his lips as he looked at the woman’s body, seemingly longing for more.
True Yang Elder’s eyes filled with blood, and he bellowed, "This is White Stone Dao, and you dare destroy my True Yang Sect—Gu Family Manor will not let this go!"
"Hmph, Gu Family Manor? They are merely martial artists, what could they possibly amount to."
Ning Fu scoffed disdainfully, his gaze at True Yang Elder filled with cruelty.
"I’ve kept you alive until now because you are the only martial artist in the late stage of Blood Refining Realm of True Yang Sect. It is only fitting to savor you slowly.
After all, the flesh of a martial artist in the late stage of Blood Refining Realm is not something ordinary people can compare with.
Swallowing you might even advance my cultivation further!"
Though not a magician, he had practiced the Divine Skills of the Red Flame Sect, nurturing his own body with the vital essence of martial artists to attain a half-spirit body.
That being so.
Once he truly starts Refining Evil, it would become much easier.
During the conversation.
Ning Fu slowly walked up to True Yang Elder, then bent down. Amidst the explosive anger in the elder’s eyes, he directly pierced his chest and extracted his heart.
"I am from the Red Flame Sect, and never mind that those from Gu Family Manor aren’t here, even if they were, they wouldn’t dare touch a hair of mine—"
"Who is this madman spouting nonsense, he should be executed!"
Just as Ning Fu’s words fell, a furious shout came from outside the hall, followed by a terrifying Blade Intent erupting and extremely cold Blade Qi bursting into the hall, causing his complexion to drastically change.
"Boom—"
Ning Fu had just made his move when he was blasted out by a force.
A splatter!
An arm flew through the air.
The intense pain twisted Ning Fu’s face instantly.
At this moment.
He finally saw clearly; a young man holding a blade slowly entered the hall.
"Mr. Gu Qingfeng, please, avenge our True Yang Sect—"
True Yang Elder’s pupils dilated drastically, his lips moved weakly producing a faint sound, then his expression froze there, silent forever.
At this moment.
Ning Fu, covering his severed arm with his left hand, looked at Gu Yang with eyes full of fear.
"You are Gu Yang... it’s impossible, you are merely in the early stage of Blood Refining Realm, how could you possess such strength!!"
Ning Fu couldn’t believe it.
He was aware of the existence of Gu Family’s Young Master Gu Yang, who indeed had the reputation of a prodigy but was similarly just in the early stage of Blood Refining Realm.
Teenagers in the Blood Refining Realm.
The Red Flame Sect had them too.
Talking about Ning Fu himself, he was also just in his twenties and had entered the Perfection stage of Blood Refining Realm, qualifying him to impact the Bone Refining Realm.
But what truly shocked Ning Fu was the power Gu Yang displayed.
That one strike.
He had no means to defend himself.
Seeing Gu Yang’s cold expression, moving slowly with the blade in hand, Ning Fu suddenly became intensely vitriolic.
"You can’t kill me, I am a True Inheritor of the Red Flame Sect, if you kill me, the Red Flame Sect will not let you go—"
However.
Before Ning Fu could finish his words.
Gu Yang had already struck with a single slash.
Channeling all his spirit, he executed the Domineering Blade strike, the forceful and domineering Blade Intent directly invading Ning Fu’s mind, leaving him utterly stupefied in his original spot.
The next moment.
The long blade sliced through the air.
Ning Fu’s body stiffened, then saw his head flying off his shoulders, the expression on his face still one of disbelief.
Clearly,
He had not expected that Gu Yang, aware of his identity, would still dare to kill him.
Slaying Ning Fu,
Gu Yang sheathed his blade.
He looked at the True Yang Elder’s corpse and the disarray within the great hall, his calm expression turning somber.
"Red Sun Sect—"
Gu Yang’s eyes were ice-cold.
Gu Family Manor governed White Stone Dao, and True Yang Sect was also a force that submitted to Gu Family Manor; thus, upon learning that something was amiss with the True Yang Sect, Gu Yang immediately led people here.
Unexpectedly,
he was a step too late.
True Yang Elder was dead.
The True Yang Sect was nearly annihilated.
At this time,
other disciples from the Outer Hall of the Gu Family Manor arrived at the site.
Seeing the scene inside the great hall, their expressions also turned stunned.
Gu Yang said, "Is there a survivor in the True Yang Sect now?"
"Reporting to the Young Master, out of the three hundred and sixty-nine members of the True Yang Sect, except for the informant, all have perished,"
a disciple from the Outer Hall solemnly said.
"Clean this up!"
Gu Yang took one last look at the scene in the great hall, dropped a remark, and then turned to leave.
The incident with the True Yang Sect made him understand more than ever that only by possessing enough power could one survive in these chaotic times.
"The strong ruthlessly slaughter the weak!"
"In this chaotic era, the moral order has collapsed, just as my father said, the world’s order has indeed decayed!"
"Perhaps only by overthrowing this rotten world can a complete order be re-established—"
Gu Yang’s eyes gradually became a lot more resolute.
—
"Your son ’Gu Yang’ has slain a martial artist of Blood Refining Perfection!"
"Your son ’Gu Yang’ has come to a clear understanding of his true heart!"
"Your son ’Gu Yang’ has deepened his comprehension of the Domineering Blade strike, his strength ever more refined!"
Gu Qingfeng had just finished observing the True Intent Map, and the depletion of his mental power made him take a short rest.
Therefore,
he instinctively opened the information panel, wanting to see if there were any new updates.
After all, the information panel would update every now and then, so it wouldn’t hurt to check it more frequently.
However, this time, when he opened the information panel, Gu Qingfeng was taken aback by the refreshed information.
Blood Refining Perfection?
Had his son really become so audacious?
Even Gu Qingfeng had not expected that Gu Yang could truly slay a martial artist at the Blood Refining Perfection level.
However,
compared to this matter, Gu Qingfeng was more curious about the identity of the Blood Refining Perfection martial artist that Gu Yang had slain, and what conflict had arisen between them.
Immediately,
Gu Qingfeng was not about to just sit idly by; he directly ordered his subordinates to trace Gu Yang’s movements and, in passing, to bring the other party to him.
Before long, 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Gu Qingfeng held an intelligence report in his hand that explicitly contained news regarding the True Yang Sect.
