Chapter 70: Chapter 70: You Mean More Than Anything
"Junior sister, little junior brother, are you alright?"
Zuo Qingyang hurriedly arrived controlling his sword, with a face full of concern.
Liu Qingqing shook her head and smiled, "Senior brother, we’re fine, the Artifact Refining Pavilion experts saved us."
"That’s great, I’m relieved that you’re alright." Zuo Qingyang let out a sigh of relief and then asked, "Were they killed by the Artifact Refining Pavilion experts?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Senior brother, I killed them. The Artifact Refining Pavilion experts heavily injured them, and I seized the opportunity to kill them."
"What? You killed them?" Zuo Qingyang’s expression changed suddenly, his heart raced, and he hurriedly said, "This place is not suitable for us to stay too long, we should leave quickly. I’m afraid Ouyang Chu and the others will catch up soon."
Liu Qingqing quickly said, "Senior brother, we must wait for the second junior brother."
"I’ve already instructed the second junior brother to head to Celestial Star City first, we should head there immediately. Once we are far from the Imperial City, we’ll be safe. Let’s go quickly." Zuo Qingyang urged, then quickly flew skyward controlling his sword.
Liu Qingqing immediately controlled her sword, carrying Gu Chenfeng skyward, hurrying towards Celestial Star City.
The direction of Celestial Star City does not lead to the Ancient Divine Sect.
Zuo Qingyang was clearly concerned about the Ouyang family’s experts catching up, hence he decided to head to Celestial Star City first.
After getting far away from the Imperial City, Zuo Qingyang was completely relieved.
The group had barely left for ten minutes.
Ouyang Chu arrived at the bamboo forest with the Ouyang family experts.
"Something did happen!" Seeing the three Golden Core bodies from Ouyang family, Ouyang Chu clenched his fist tightly, his face twisted with rage, a murderous aura overflowing.
Sent out six Golden Core experts, only three returned, Ouyang Chu had already guessed that there was little hope for them.
"Young Master, it should be that mysterious person who killed them, with Zuo Qingyang’s strength, it’s impossible for him to have killed them." One Golden Core expert said darkly.
Ouyang Chu angrily said darkly, "They shouldn’t have gone far yet, Tian Ying, pursue them immediately! We mustn’t let them escape!"
"Understood!" Tian Ying responded respectfully, terrifying spiritual power of the Nascent Soul Stage erupted, his figure instantly disappeared.
The speed of Nascent Soul Stage is terrifying, chasing down Golden Core Stage cultivators is easy.
Ouyang Chu then ordered, "No matter what methods you use, immediately investigate the origins of the mysterious person. Daring to meddle in the affairs of the Ouyang family and ruining my plans, he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
"Yes, young master!" The Golden Core experts respectfully replied.
"Zuo Qingyang!" Ouyang Chu’s face twisted, and he angrily said through clenched teeth, "You better not fall into my hands, otherwise I’ll make you wish you could die but can’t, and make you regret ever living in this world!"
...
Above the majestic Immortal Mountain.
Zuo Qingyang and the others controlled their swords to tear through the void, crossing the immortal mist.
Zuo Qingyang looked at Gu Chenfeng and smiled, "Little junior brother, I didn’t expect you to be so bold, daring to kill a Golden Core expert, and one from the Ouyang family at that."
"They uttered insults to senior sister, how could I let them off?" Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly while inspecting his Storage Ring, "Moreover, the Eternal Celestial Emperor also told me, as long as they’re enemies, one mustn’t show mercy, must kill them, otherwise it will only bring greater trouble to oneself."
This was not said by the Eternal Celestial Emperor, but by Gu Chenfeng himself.
After the incident at Lingyun Sect, having merged with the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, Gu Chenfeng had grown immensely.
One mustn’t show mercy to enemies, or else it’s being cruel to oneself.
With the inheritance of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, Gu Chenfeng is indeed confident. As long as they are enemies, they must be killed.
In a world where strength reigns supreme, if you don’t kill your enemies, your enemies will kill you.
Zuo Qingyang nodded indifferently, "The Eternal Celestial Emperor is right, but sometimes there’s worry that it will bring danger to the Sect, so some things can’t be done too ruthlessly."
If it weren’t for that concern, Zuo Qingyang would probably have killed Ouyang Chu just now.
"Little junior brother, you avenge senior sister’s disgrace, senior sister is very touched, but you shouldn’t do such dangerous things in the future." Liu Qingqing turned around and smiled.
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly without speaking.
If similar things happen again in the future, Gu Chenfeng will certainly do the same.
After all, in the future, Gu Chenfeng’s strength will certainly become stronger.
Having checked the three Storage Rings, Gu Chenfeng happily smiled, "This time the harvest is good, three Storage Rings, totaling over three million Crystal Stones, besides their Spiritual Artifacts, there are some low-grade Elixirs, but unfortunately no other precious treasures."
"Over three million Crystal Stones?" Zuo Qingyang and Liu Qingqing were shocked.
As expected of the Ouyang family, a Golden Core expert actually had so many Crystal Stones.
Zuo Qingyang and Liu Qingqing, relying on their monthly allotment of Crystal Stones and the Crystal Stones obtained from slaying Demon Beasts, took many years to accumulate only tens of thousands.
Gu Chenfeng killed three Golden Core experts and obtained millions of Crystal Stones, no need to mention how envious they were.
No wonder there are so many incidents of murder for treasure in the Cultivation Realm, treasures come way too quickly.
After clearing up, Gu Chenfeng distributed the Crystal Stones and casually threw two Storage Rings to Zuo Qingyang and Liu Qingqing.
"Little junior brother, you are?" Zuo Qingyang and Liu Qingqing were both surprised.
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Earlier we faced hardships together, now that we obtained the spoils, we’ll split them evenly. This way we can share the blessings, the second senior brother’s share is here."
Zuo Qingyang helplessly smiled bitterly, "Little junior brother, you just joined the Ancient Divine Sect, and are still at the Foundation Establishment Realm. You naturally lack Crystal Stones, why share them with us?"
Liu Qingqing nodded, "Little junior brother, with so many Crystal Stones, you can totally buy many precious cultivation treasures."
Gu Chenfeng shook his head, "Senior brother, senior sister, along the way you have treated me sincerely, even risking your lives to protect me. In my heart, you are more important than anything."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingyang and Liu Qingqing were deeply moved, their eyes reddened, and their noses felt sour.
"What’s the manly reason for saying this? It’s too embarrassing." Zuo Qingyang quickly turned his head aside to wipe his tears, and his voice was slightly choked.
"Little junior brother, to be honest, it’s the first time I’ve seen senior brother so daring." Liu Qingqing held her hand over her mouth, sneaking a laugh.
"I was just speaking the truth, most of the senior brothers and juniors from before were... well..." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly awkwardly, but didn’t continue speaking.
After experiencing the Lingyun Sect incident, Gu Chenfeng felt utterly heartbroken and disappointed.
Now encountering true-hearted fellow sect members, Gu Chenfeng naturally cherished them more.
Zuo Qingyang comforted, "Little junior brother, let’s not dwell on the past, always look forward. When you become stronger, you’ll find that those people aren’t worth mentioning."
"Yes, I will become stronger as soon as possible." Gu Chenfeng nodded firmly.
Liu Qingqing smiled happily, "Little junior brother possesses a unique Perfect Spirit Root, becoming strong is just a matter of time, senior sister believes you’ll be the first in the Ancient Divine Sect to surpass the Sect Leader!"
