At that moment,Gu Qingfeng walked over.Seeing the newcomer, Gu Yang hurriedly bowed, "Father!""How is Li Niang?"Gu Qingfeng looked toward the tightly closed door of the side room, from inside which anguished cries could be heard.Gu Yang shook his head, "No news yet!"Having said this,Gu Yang couldn't help pacing back and forth again, his expression changing erratically.Gu Qingfeng furrowed his brow and scolded sternly, "Such a flustered appearance is unbecoming!"At these words,Gu Yang's expression became serious, and he no longer dared to pace back and forth. Even the anxious worry on his face diminished somewhat.In the entire Gu Family Manor, the only person Gu Yang feared, or perhaps respected, was Gu Qingfeng.Especially now that Gu Qingfeng's cultivation had grown more profound, honing his Blade Intent in the Grinding Blade Hall, there was an indescribable authority about him that made people dare not look him directly in the eye.Watching Gu Yang barely calming down, Gu

Gu Yang stood with a long saber in hand, its light sharp and cold, sweeping through with unchecked ferocity. With his strength alone, he had forcefully held back the attacks of several rebel army strongmen.He paid no mind to the other Martial Artists at Blood Refining Perfection; though he was only at the Late Stage of Blood Refining himself, slaughtering those at Blood Refining Perfection was a trivial matter.The person truly warranting Gu Yang's caution was the middle-aged military commander before him, a formidable man who had attained Mid-level Bone Refining with copper bone strength throughout his body."What a Young Master of Gu Family Manor, to possess such strength even at the Late Stage of Blood Refining. If you were to grow further, you would become a great enemy!""It is said that His Majesty once sent envoys to White Stone Dao to recruit your Gu Family Manor, but alas, your Gu Family refused.""Since that's the case, you cannot be allowed to live!"The middle-aged comman

Nine Curves Road.It had been two or three years.Gu Qingfeng once again stepped into this place.Compared to before, the sinister aura of the Nine Curves Road had become even more intense. It was as if this place truly was a forbidden realm for living beings, permeated everywhere with the aura of desolation.Gu Qingfeng looked ahead into the void, where a Buddha's phantom sat cross-legged, as if thousands of souls knelt and worshipped beneath him. This scene, which should have been utterly sacred, was now pervaded by eerie and strange vibes.Because the Buddha was bleeding, none of his body retained any hint of sanctity or grandeur; only decay and rot were present. The once golden body of the Buddha had now turned putrid.Underneath him, the thousands of believers also seemed like walking corpses.In the instant he looked at the Evil Buddha, their bloodied, hollow eyes met his.In that moment,a terrifying psychic power crushed down upon him, making Gu Qingfeng feel an urge to kneel

The appearance of the Hidden Guard.Gu Qingfeng did not promote it widely but kept it as a trump card for the Gu Family Manor....A routine moment of warmth.Gu Qingfeng handed an elixir to Xu Yulan and spoke, "This elixir is called the Refining Organ Pill, and if you take it, you can become a master at the Perfection stage of the Refining Organ Realm.""Your martial arts talent is average, and without accidents, the Bone Refining Realm would be your limit.""Now with this elixir, you should be able to break through to the Perfection of the Refining Organ Realm. I'm not saying you'll definitely reach the Grandmaster Realm afterward, but living for another two hundred years shouldn't be a problem!"Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Xu Yulan's bright eyes showed a few extra hints of shock.Although she didn't care much for the affairs of the Martial World, she was well aware of how difficult it was to advance in martial arts.Now, an elixir could lead to a breakthrough to Perfection in the

After Gu Yi and the others withdrew, Gu Yang cautiously asked,"Father, when did you begin cultivating the Hidden Guard? Why had I not heard a whisper of it before?""The matter of the Hidden Guard will be told to you when the time is right."Gu Qingfeng brushed off the question with a nonchalant response.Seeing this,Gu Yang, despite his myriad of questions, had no choice but to suppress them.Leaving the Grinding Blade Hall,Gu Yang shook off his earlier dejection, feeling a surge of boldness within.A hundred Hidden Guards.Though the number didn't seem large, each one possessed enough strength to establish a sect.Having such a force at his disposal gave him a vast scope for maneuvering.---In the Inner Hall,Gu Yang summoned all the Hidden Guards.He saw over a hundred black-clad figures standing there, each with an indifferent expression that rendered the vast Inner Hall silent and serene.Seeing this, Gu Yang once again updated his understanding of the Hidden Guard.Not to me
