Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Beginning of Revenge
"The Myriad Swords Sect and the Ancient Divine Sect will fight to the death!"
"The Dongfang Family will definitely not let this go either!"
Ye Xingyun spat out these words viciously and then left with the barely-breathing Dongfang Qing, and the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect immediately flew away on their swords.
The Ancient Divine Sect erupted in joyous cheers.
Ling Qiushui appeared in the square and, looking at Gu Chenfeng, said with a smile, "Well done! As a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect, you should indeed bring honor to the sect."
"But you kid, you’re hiding quite deeply. Even I, your martial uncle, was deceived. If you hadn’t acted, I wouldn’t have known that you’ve already broken through to the Golden Core Stage. No wonder you were so confident about going to the Martial King’s Mansion."
Like the other disciples, Ling Qiushui had thought Gu Chenfeng was still at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Just lucky," Gu Chenfeng replied with a dry laugh.
"Lucky?" Ling Qiushui clearly didn’t believe it. Curious, she asked, "Even with a Perfect Spirit Root, it shouldn’t be possible to break through so fast. How did you cultivate?"
"Of course, it’s thanks to the Ice Attribute Treasures that Su Shisan gave me," Gu Chenfeng calmly replied, "The first time I went to the association, he bought the Glazed Ice Soul to help me break through to the Fasting Stage."
"Su Shisan again," Ling Qiushui furrowed her brows slightly, puzzled, "You aren’t familiar with him, and before this, the Cultivation Realm didn’t even know about the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill. He’s the Young Master of the Su Family; why is he so good to you?"
Gu Chenfeng shook his head, "I don’t know either."
For now, Gu Chenfeng could only use Su Shisan as a shield. The matters of the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm and the Frozen World must not be divulged to Ling Qiushui.
"And," Ling Qiushui continued, "the sword technique you used earlier is definitely not one from the Ancient Divine Sect. Be honest, now."
"Uncle Qiushui is so smart, haven’t you already guessed?" Gu Chenfeng said with a helpless smile, realizing he couldn’t conceal it.
"So it really is from the Ageless Immortal," Ling Qiushui thought with joy.
As long as it came from the Ageless Immortal, it had to be incredibly powerful.
Ling Qiushui lowered herself slightly and asked with a playful smile, "Such a powerful sword technique, your martial uncle is also of the Ice Attribute. When do you plan to share it with your uncle?"
Seeing the magnificent sight, Gu Chenfeng blushed, averted his gaze, and quickly said, "Don’t worry, Uncle Qiushui, I’ll definitely honor you."
"Good." Ling Qiushui nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "That’s more like it. It makes it worth it for me, your uncle, to care so much about you."
Did that really ever happen?
Gu Chenfeng shook his head with a bitter smile in secret.
Just then.
Zuo Qingyang, Liu Qingqing, and Bai Tu ran over.
Zuo Qingyang happily patted Gu Chenfeng’s shoulder and laughed, "Junior Brother, that sword strike earlier was really formidable, and your strength has already far surpassed mine."
"As expected of our Junior Brother with a one-in-a-million Perfect Spirit Root, your cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast, beyond belief," Liu Qingqing exclaimed with a joyful smile.
Bai Tu laughed with excitement, "Junior Brother, from now on, you’re the strongest disciple of our Ancient Divine Sect."
"Junior Brother, your strength is too strong!"
"It’s ridiculously strong! Junior Brother’s strength has already surpassed Senior Brother!"
"Dongfang Qing, at the Late Stage of Golden Core, definitely didn’t expect to be powerless before Junior Brother, and in the end, even got his Sea of Qi crippled by him."
"Junior Brother is now the strongest genius of the sect!"
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect all swarmed in, filling the entire square.
Indeed, only with formidable strength can one gain recognition.
When Gu Chenfeng first joined the Ancient Divine Sect, many disciples looked down on him.
Now Gu Chenfeng has demonstrated his formidable strength and overwhelming power in defeating Dongfang Qing, making all the disciples genuinely convinced and impressed.
Gu Chenfeng’s strength surpassed Zuo Qingyang, undeniably making him the strongest disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect.
He rose to fame in a single battle.
Gu Chenfeng looked at Ling Qiushui and asked, "Uncle Qiushui, can I go to the Martial King’s Mansion now?"
"With your strength, Uncle naturally won’t stop you," Ling Qiushui replied with a soft laugh, full of confidence in Gu Chenfeng’s abilities.
Although Gu Chenfeng had exerted all his might in the fight with Dongfang Qing earlier, Ling Qiushui knew that Gu Chenfeng still held back his strongest power.
After all, he hadn’t even used the power of the Celestial Emperor’s Blood.
If he were to use that power, Gu Chenfeng might even be able to contend with an ordinary Early Stage Nascent Soul.
"Thank you, Uncle Qiushui," Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists in gratitude.
Zuo Qingyang frowned and asked, "Junior Brother, are you going to the Martial King’s Mansion?"
"Yes," Gu Chenfeng nodded, "There are some things I must resolve."
Bai Tu laughed excitedly, "Junior Brother, we’ll go with you! The Martial King’s Mansion is arrogant and egotistical; I also want to give them a harsh lesson!"
"Count me in, Junior Brother," Zuo Qingyang patted his chest with a smile, "My injury will heal soon, dealing with the Martial King’s Mansion is no problem."
Liu Qingqing added with a smile, "And me, Junior Brother. We’ll share life and death together!"
The three stood up without hesitation, deeply moving Gu Chenfeng.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I appreciate your kindness," Gu Chenfeng chuckled, "But this is a personal matter of mine, and I want to handle it myself. Moreover, the Martial King’s Mansion doesn’t know I’m from the Ancient Divine Sect."
Gu Chenfeng didn’t want to cause trouble for the Ancient Divine Sect, especially considering that the Heavenly Dao Sect’s strength exceeded that of the Ancient Divine Sect.
Moreover, Gu Chenfeng planned to single-handedly slay Mu Qingyun and destroy the Martial King’s Mansion.
"The Heavenly Dao Sect will find out sooner or later," Ling Qiushui said softly, "But don’t worry, it won’t be long before we’re no longer afraid of them either."
"Since it’s your personal matter, handle it yourself. With your strength, dealing with the Martial King’s Mansion should be no problem, but be extra cautious, and remember not to underestimate your enemy."
"I’ll remember your teachings, Uncle. I’m leaving immediately," Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists and then summoned his Spirit Sword, flying away swiftly on his sword.
The speed was so fast that he disappeared beyond the horizon in a few blinks.
"Such speed," Bai Tu’s eyes widened in shock, full of disbelief.
It’s already impressive that his strength surpasses them, yet his speed also far exceeds theirs.
"Junior Brother’s sword control is even more formidable than ours," Liu Qingqing’s wide eyes were filled with astonishment.
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect exclaimed in succession.
"Such mastery of sword control, he’s hiding very deeply. Truly extraordinary," Ling Qiushui marveled inwardly.
After leaving the Ancient Divine Sect.
Gu Chenfeng did not head straight for the Martial King’s Mansion, but rather towards the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
As he made his way to the association, Gu Chenfeng talked to himself, "Just a mere Sixth Grade Pill, yet it alarms the transcendent forces of the Cultivation Realm."
"Besides the Soul-Devouring Sect, there must be other major forces; the Myriad Swords Sect and the Dongfang Family will undoubtedly seize this opportunity to make a move as well."
"If I don’t offer something, the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association will likely not intervene easily."
The purpose of Gu Chenfeng’s trip was to request the assistance of the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, for without them, the Ancient Divine Sect had no way to contend with transcendent forces.
