165: Chiaki died

As Gu Liangyuan was deep in thought, he suddenly felt his jade pendant vibrate.

Before he could examine it closely, a black hole appeared before him.

Gu Liangyuan immediately realized that Qianqiu had been harmed and had crushed the teleportation jade.

"You're courting death!"

Gu Liangyuan roared, his voice like rolling thunder, echoing across Forget-Love Peak, making the Disciples' eardrums ache!

Accompanying his roar, Gu Liangyuan stepped into the teleportation array.

If it were in the past, given his cautious nature, he would have definitely brought Tianyi Old Man, but the current situation didn't allow for extensive arrangements.

As Gu Liangyuan stepped into the teleportation array, the array suddenly vanished from its original spot, leaving only a bewildered Song Rentou.

Gu Liangyuan took a step, feeling his vision go black, then almost instantly, light returned.

Looking around, he saw Qianqiu standing atop a city wall.

With her hair tied up and wearing a helmet, her hand resting on a precious sword, she exuded a heroic and valiant aura!

However, blood continuously seeped from her arm, causing Gu Liangyuan a pang of heartache.

Behind Qianqiu stood several Mortals, dressed as both civil and military officials.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood behind Qianqiu, looking at the Void Realm not far away with expressions of dread.

Outside the city gate, corpses lay strewn across the ground, and the sounds of battle were constant, clearly indicating a recent fight.

Following the soldiers' gaze towards the Void Realm, he saw Sun Elder currently battling a Mahayana and three Body Integration experts in the Void Realm.

Although Sun Elder and her opponents were all at Mahayana First Heaven, the opponents' proficiency in various Divine Abilities and Spells was clearly much greater than Sun Elder's.

Sun Elder was merely parrying in her struggle against the four, with no power to retaliate.

Not far behind the battlefield, there was also a young man riding in a jade carriage.

The young man was dressed in luxurious clothing, and four Nascent Soul Realm maidservants shared the carriage with him.

Outside the jade carriage, there were also four Void Refining guards protecting him from all four directions: east, west, south, and north.

Gu Liangyuan's sudden appearance instantly drew the attention of everyone on the field.

The Mahayana fighting Sun Elder swept his Divine Sense over Gu Liangyuan, and seeing that he couldn't discern Gu Liangyuan's cultivation, he immediately withdrew and came before the young man, observing vigilantly.

Sun Elder also breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to stand in front of Gu Liangyuan.

Seeing this, Qianqiu also flew up and tightly embraced Gu Liangyuan's arm, as if she had found her pillar of strength.

Gu Liangyuan stroked Qianqiu's head:

"Don't be afraid, Master is here."

As he spoke, Gu Liangyuan glanced towards the young man's side, and the information of several people appeared in his mind.

Name: Zhuge Yu

Affiliation: Direct descendant of the Zhuge Family of the Ancient Ink Dynasty

Cultivation: Core Formation Eighth Level

Spiritual Root: Wood-Fire

Comprehension Ability: One in ten thousand

Luck: Premature death

Spell: ...

...

Summary: Profligate son.

At this moment, Sun Elder also spoke up, explaining the whole story to Gu Liangyuan.

After Qianqiu descended the mountain, she found the former remnants of the Qian Kingdom. With her status as a cultivator, she quickly won their loyalty, gathered a group of people, and began to reclaim lost territory little by little, starting from the border city.

With Qianqiu's cultivation, combined with the military strategies Gu Liangyuan had taught her, fighting these people was simply a dimensionality reduction strike.

In just over a month, she consecutively captured several cities.

Today was supposed to be a normal siege battle. Qianqiu, as usual, did not participate directly, but focused on training the soldiers, determined to forge an army of a hundred battles.

However, Zhuge Yu happened to pass by in the air. Seeing Qianqiu wearing a veil, perhaps out of curiosity, he directly ordered his men to remove Qianqiu's veil.

Upon seeing her, the young man was astonished by her beauty and developed lustful intentions, ordering his subordinates to capture her.

It was at that moment that Qianqiu's arm was injured.

Qianqiu, unaware that Sun Elder was hidden in the dark, directly unleashed the Mahayana Strike.

With a single strike, she killed two Void Refining and one Body Integration expert from the other side.

The young man immediately became furious and sent a Mahayana Realm expert to the field, vowing to capture Qianqiu.

This led to the scene where Sun Elder came forward and battled the opponent.

After Sun Elder finished speaking, Qianqiu gripped Gu Liangyuan's arm even tighter:

"Master, have I caused you trouble?"

Gu Liangyuan patted Qianqiu's shoulder:

"As long as you don't provoke an Immortal, it's not considered trouble."

As soon as Gu Liangyuan said this, Qianqiu felt slightly relieved, but Zhuge Yu on the opposite side was startled.

He and his Mahayana subordinate exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Not causing trouble unless one provokes an Immortal—this person speaks with great arrogance.

Could it be that they've run into a tough opponent this time?

One of Zhuge Yu's maidservants looked at Gu Liangyuan and suddenly thought of something, speaking with a surprised tone:

"This person is Gu Liangyuan!"

Zhuge Yu retorted:

"Gu Liangyuan of Forget Love Dao?"

The maidservant nodded: "His portrait has become popular in the capital city. Young Miss's room has one, I couldn't be mistaken."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu instead let out a sigh of relief:

"Such a big tone, I thought he had great ability. So he's from Supreme Sacred Ground."

His words carried a hint of disdain.

The Great Ascension Realm Expert beside him said to Zhuge Yu:

"Young Master, this place is not far from Supreme Sacred Ground. If someone from Supreme Sacred Ground comes, I alone cannot guarantee your safety."

"Our destination is Taiyi Holy Land, there's no need to stay here too long."

Zhuge Yu sneered lightly:

"Even if I lent Lü Qingmei two more guts, do you think she would dare to touch me?"

Seeing this, the four maidservants quickly said that the other party wouldn't dare, flattering him profusely.

Zhuge Yu was satisfied and waved his hand indifferently:

"Alright, I'll give Supreme Sacred Ground some Face. Let's go."

Clearly, he was also uncertain about confronting Supreme Sacred Ground, but he refused to admit defeat verbally.

Moreover, as he spoke, he subtly had a protective hand over his crotch.

Emperor Tian was castrated by him, I cannot be careless!

With that, he was about to drive his jade carriage away.

Just then, Gu Liangyuan's cold voice came:

"You injured my Disciple and you think you can leave?"

With that, Gu Liangyuan took a step forward, and the Mahayana experience card was instantly activated!

In an instant, the pressure of Mahayana Peak swept across the entire scene!

With a wave of his hand, Mo Tan Kill appeared in his grasp!

As Mo Tan Kill entered his hand, Gu Liangyuan's muscles instantly bulged, and his entire body grew a size larger.

His distinct black and white eyes instantly turned crimson!

Feeling the pressure of Mahayana Peak, Zhuge Yu and the others' expressions changed drastically!

Didn't they say Gu Liangyuan had just undergone his Soul Transformation tribulation?

What was this Mahayana Peak cultivation all about?

But at this moment, they had no time to think further. Only one word was in their minds:

"Flee!"

Zhuge Yu, seeing Gu Liangyuan already charging with his halberd, reacted quickly.

He took out a jade pendant and directly crushed it!

As the jade pendant was crushed, a teleportation array appeared behind him.

This was a one-way teleportation array, and the other end led directly to the Ancient Ink Dynasty.

With one step, Zhuge Yu could appear within the Ancient Ink Dynasty's territory.

But how could Gu Liangyuan let him succeed?

He swung Mo Tan Kill in his hand, tearing the Void Realm apart!

A blood-red, extremely sharp Qi blade instantly appeared, heading directly for the teleportation array.

Just as the Qi blade was about to hit the teleportation array, a streak of light came from the side, striking the Qi blade.

The two collided. Although it didn't stop the Qi blade, it caused it to pause slightly.

It was this brief pause that allowed Zhuge Yu to step into the teleportation array.

However, before he could fully enter, the Qi blade sliced through!

Ah!

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Zhuge Yu's thigh, exposed outside the teleportation array, was sliced by the Qi blade and directly severed.
