"I have seen my father. Please punish me!" In the lobby, Gu Yang knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and clasped his fists.
Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged. "Why would your father blame you?"
"I killed the true disciple of the Chiyang Sect, which may bring trouble to Gujiazhuang. So I ask Father to punish me!"
"As far as I know, the destruction of the Zhenyang Sect was caused by the true disciple of the Chiyan Sect. By killing him, you defended the dignity of our Gu Family Manor. This action is, of course, a meritorious deed!"
Looking at Gu Yang kneeling on the ground, Gu Qingfeng smiled indifferently. "Okay, get up now."
"Thank you, Father!" Only then did Gu Yang stand up.
Gu Qingfeng continued, "My father has told you that if any force dares to interfere with Baishidao, you can do whatever you want. Although the Red Flame Sect is quite powerful, it doesn't mean they can run wild on the White Stone Road."
"You are just a true disciple, and while I can kill you, your strength still needs to be improved. Although you have the help of Tyrant Blade Slash at the initial stage of Blood Refining, if you meet a real strong opponent, I fear you will not be able to match them!"
Gu Qingfeng gave a few instructions. Gu Yang naturally bowed his head in obedience.
Then, Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, asking the other party to retreat. He then found Gu Peng and instructed him to lead the disciples in the outer hall to pay more attention to the movements of the Chiyan Sect.
Although Gu Qingfeng expressed that he didn't care about the Chiyan Sect in front of Gu Yang, the Chiyan Sect was ultimately a more powerful faction than the Qingyang Sect. Even when compared to thousand-year-old families like the Zhuo family, the Chiyan Sect was not necessarily much weaker.
Such a sect, of course, could not be ignored by Gu Qingfeng.
With the Red Flame Sect's background, there was likely a sorcerer at the level of controlling spirits in the sect. At the very least, it remained uncertain whether there were warriors at the level of refining internal organs.
"The top-level Yuling Realm masters can compete with true masters, but the Chiyan Sect may not possess Yuling Realm masters of that level. After all, in the entire Taishan County, there are probably only a handful of strong individuals who can truly reach the grandmaster level.
With my current strength, I can hold my own unless a Grandmaster appears!"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes grew slightly cold, a strong sword intent emanating from his body—both overbearing and filled with tremendous killing intent.
At this moment, he had begun to grasp the existence of true meaning. Although both he and others were at the stage of refining internal organs, comprehending the meaning of the sword made all the difference.
Gu Qingfeng continued to delve into the master's true intentions and practice his martial arts. His only desire now was to increase his power as much as possible.
While Gu Qingfeng was in seclusion, he frequently checked for changes on the information panel.
…
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed a mid-level blood refining warrior!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed a late-stage blood refining warrior!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed 10 mid-level leather refining warriors!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed 30 late-stage leather refining warriors!"
"Your offspring 'Gu Yang' has a deeper understanding of Tyrant Blade Slash, and his strength is improving!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed 2 warriors who have achieved perfection in blood refining!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed a beginner bone refining warrior!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' killed——"
…
The densely packed information on the panel refreshed, indicating that Gu Yang had gone on a complete killing spree on Baishi Road.
With the foundation built by the Blood Refining Pill, the cultivation of top martial arts in the Blood Refining Realm, and mastery of the grandmaster's unique skills, Gu Yang could kill enemies across a significant realm.
At the initial stage of blood refining, he could directly kill those at the initial stage of bone refining!
This also highlighted the chaos on Taishan Road and its profound impact. Otherwise, Gu Yang wouldn't be flooding the screen with messages.
However, with Gu Yang's current strength, resolving these issues was not difficult.
Then, Gu Qingfeng opened his mouth and swallowed a ray of the sun's yang energy. His blood and qi surged, and the pure yang energy in his blood increased further.
The Qingyang Jue quietly broke through from the second entry level to the second minor success level. What a pity, after all, the Qingyang Jue was just a top-grade martial art. Such a breakthrough brought only limited changes to his strength.
Immediately afterward, Gu Qingfeng continued to comprehend the Grandmaster's true intentions. Each time the Grandmaster's true intention was stimulated by the true intent of killing, Gu Qingfeng's understanding deepened.
Thus, the gap between him and truly comprehending the Dominant Sword Slash grew smaller.
Guangyang Prefecture.
Inside the Chiyan Sect, a red-haired old man with an angry expression emanated a burning and cold aura, as terrifying as ice and fire.
"How dare Gujiazhuang kill my true disciple from Chiyan Peak? How despicable! I have not taken action over the years, and this guy has become so rampant!"
Wen Jiao's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Ning Fu was a disciple he had high hopes for, one with great potential to break through to the Organ Refining Realm and become a junior grandmaster. A warrior who refines the internal organs is incredibly precious, no matter where he is placed.
If evil enters the body, it will undoubtedly become a powerful warlock.
However, what truly enraged Wen Jiao was not simply Ning Fu's death, which cost Chiyan Peak a top powerhouse for the future.
It was the loss of all his years of hard work, which now lay in waste and affected his future practice.
At this moment, Wen Jiao could no longer sit still. He was determined to take action and bloodbath the head of the Gu family. Since Ning Fu was gone, Wen Jiao wanted the people of Gujiazhuang to pay with their lives.
Immediately, Wen Jiao left Chiyan Peak and headed toward Baishi Road.
The moment he exited the sect, the news reached other powerful figures in the Chiyan Sect.
These individuals shook their heads slightly, pity evident on their faces.
"I'm afraid that Gujiazhuang is doomed this time!"
"Given Master Wen Feng's personality, it's not just Gujiazhuang that's going to suffer; I fear other forces on Baishidao will also face big trouble."
"Humph, they are just a few ants. They will die if they die."
"That said, there may be some trouble at the court—"
"The imperial court is now preoccupied with its own affairs. Our sect has not colluded with the rebels, which is giving face to the Taixuan Dynasty. Now that only a few ants have died, I guess the imperial court wouldn't dare to say a word against it. Otherwise, if our sect allies with the rebels, Guangyang Prefecture will fall in an instant."
To the other powerful members of the Red Flame Sect, if Wen Jiao took action personally, Baishidao would inevitably become a river of blood. Gujiazhuang would be destroyed, and other forces would also be implicated.
To them, the lives and deaths of ants mattered little.
Currently, the Chiyan Sect's focus was more on Taishan Road. The Baishidao was nothing compared to Taishandao. A real opportunity awaited if they could seize control of Taishandao.
However, various major forces gathered in Taishan Road, making it challenging for the Chiyan Sect to suppress others and claim dominance over Taishan Road.
Thus, the Chiyan Sect did not pay much attention to Wen Jiao's actions.
