“Ten Thousand Soul Sect has been annihilated!?”
Shi Zhen’s face showed some astonishment when he received this message.
He had just received orders from Gu Yang to prepare his troops to exterminate Ten Thousand Soul Sect, only to find out that before he even made a move, Ten Thousand Soul Sect had already been wiped out.
The scout said respectfully, “Reporting to the general, news has come that on that day, a Sky-reaching Divine Blade came slashing down from the heavens, not only destroying Ten Thousand Soul Sect but also shattering the very location of their sect’s gates.”
“Sky-reaching Divine Blade—”
Hearing his subordinate’s words, Shi Zhen’s expression flickered slightly.
...
It was as if he had thought of something.
At that moment.
Sword Daoist at his side spoke, “Such a description, it does sound like Mr. Gu’s method. In the whole world, only Mr. Gu possesses such strength to annihilate a top sect instantly.”
“Sword Senior speaks the truth!”
Shi Zhen nodded in agreement with Sword Daoist’s words.
From what he could see.
This matter was indeed likely the doing of Gu Qingfeng.
However.
To be certain of this, Shi Zhen still decided to personally visit the ruins of Ten Thousand Soul Sect.
The sight he beheld was of Ten Thousand Soul Sect in ruins, mountains collapsed, with vicious and terrifying blade marks etched into the earth, exuding a chilling and dreadful Blade Intent.
“The aura left here is indeed very similar to that of Mr. Gu’s.”
Sword Daoist had this thought as soon as he saw the blade marks.
The one who destroyed Ten Thousand Soul Sect was none other than Gu Qingfeng.
On second thoughts.
Sword Daoist felt this was to be expected.
The Princely Heir of the Prince Mansion was the target of an assassination, doubtlessly provoking this individual’s wrath; hence, it made sense that Gu Qingfeng himself would take action against Ten Thousand Soul Sect.
Similarly.
This also indirectly indicated.
How much he valued the Princely Heir of the Prince Mansion.
Otherwise.
Why would Gu Qingfeng personally deal with Ten Thousand Soul Sect?
After all, according to Sword Daoist’s knowledge, Gu Qingfeng mostly stayed within Gu Family Manor and seldom interfered with matters of the Martial World.
Every time he took action, it was always concerning the future of the Gu Family or Guangyang Prince.
Thereafter.
Shi Zhen relayed this news back.
Learning that Gu Qingfeng had taken action to annihilate Ten Thousand Soul Sect, Gu Yang felt relieved in his heart and immediately smiled.
“It seems father holds dear regard for Xing’er and the others!”
“Yes!”
Zhong Li also wore a smiling expression.
Gu Qingfeng was willing to value his children, and naturally, Zhong Li was overjoyed.
After all, Gu Qingfeng’s descendants weren’t limited to just Gu Yang.
As a Princess Consort.
Zhong Li became even more aware of Gu Qingfeng’s present status and identity.
Though he was nominally just the manor master of Gu Family Manor, in reality, he was the strongest individual under the heavens. Having his favor would indeed bring many advantages.
At this time.
Gu Yang spoke, “When another year or two passes, once Xing’er and the others are older and reach the age to practice Martial Arts, I plan to send them back to Gu Family Manor, to be personally instructed by father.”
“If father is willing, that would be for the best.”
Zhong Li nodded her head, clearly harboring no thoughts of refusal.
Gu Yang laughed, “Rest assured, how could father refuse?”
Gu Shengnan had been cultivating alongside Gu Qingfeng over the years, and Gu Yang had seen her progress.
His own daughter, still young in age, had attained a level of Cultivation that could rival many renowned figures in the Martial World; even Gu Yang had to admit that his Cultivation was far behind hers at that age.
Gu Yang had no doubt.
If Gu Shengnan were given more time, her Cultivation might surpass his own.
In his view, this not only reflected Gu Shengnan’s innate talent but also surely included Gu Qingfeng’s guidance.
—
“Is the task completed?”
“Your subordinate has not failed his mission!”
Gu Peng offered the Evil Slayer Blade back with both hands, and with a wave of his sleeve, Gu Qingfeng let the Evil Slayer Blade return to its place in the Grinding Blade Hall.
He had ordered Gu Peng to carry the Evil Slayer Blade to annihilate Ten Thousand Soul Sect, and Gu Qingfeng had anticipated such an outcome.
After all, the Evil Slayer Blade of now was no longer comparable to its past self.
Nurtured day and night with Blade Nourishing Skills by Gu Qingfeng, it could not only annihilate a Ten Thousand Soul Sect but even a common Transformation Realm powerhouse could be slain by the blade.
It could be said.
The Evil Slayer Blade of now could no longer be considered an ordinary Divine Weapon; it had even transcended the category of Divine Weapons of the present world.
At this time.
Gu Peng then handed over a black ancient banner to Gu Qingfeng’s hands.
“This is the Ten Thousand Soul Sect’s treasured artifact, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Please look it over, manor master!”
“Ten Thousand Soul Banner…”
Gu Qingfeng took the black ancient banner and immediately sensed an eerie and cold aura emanating from it, which would surely freeze the blood of ordinary people upon touch, but for him, such a chilling aura was insignificant.
The moment he grasped the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he could sense its mysteries.
Even though the Evil Slayer Blade had slain most of the strangeness within it.
Nevertheless, a few remnants of these peculiar forces still lingered.
As Gu Qingfeng’s consciousness entered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it was as if he ‘saw’ a dark misty space, within which fearsome peculiar entities came into view.
The strength of these entities varied.
The weaker ones were only comparable to someone in the Bone Refining Realm, while the stronger entities were no weaker than those in the Refining Organ Realm.
At the same time.
Gu Qingfeng also keenly spotted that these entities had some sort of connection with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, thereby allowing the latter to easily manipulate the powerful beings.
“You’ve done well with this matter; you may go down and rest now.”
“Yes, manor master!”
After Gu Peng withdrew, Gu Qingfeng began to study the Ten Thousand Soul Banner anew.
This treasured artifact.
Made him see some rather unusual things.
“Ten Thousand Soul Banner!”
“Manipulating peculiar ghostly forces!”
“Such a method seems to have departed from the ordinary scope of Martial Arts; even many Magicians haven’t mastered such a technique. I wonder from where Ten Thousand Soul Sect acquired the method to craft such a treasured artifact—”
