42: Chapter 42 What's with all this talk about the Western Emperor! Go talk to my ancestor if you have something to say!

Li Shuangxu stood to the side, watching his own Sacred Master with snot and tears all over his face, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart.

To be honest, he had never seen Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan like this before.

That one sentence from the Gu Family Ancestor didn't just save one person; it saved the entire Holy Land!

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was drinking tea nearby, his expression extremely calm!

He was used to scenes like this; even if someone were to call Gu Xuan 'Daddy' right now, he wouldn't even blink an eye!

Just then, a flurry of hurried footsteps came from down the mountain.

First Elder Gu Yushan ran until he was out of breath, rushing to the back mountain with a terrible expression: "Old Ancestor! Something has happened!"

First Elder Gu Yushan caught his breath and pointed outside the mountain gate: "There's a madwoman outside! A Saint King is chasing eighteen people and beating them!"

Gu Xuan had long known about this group of people, but he hadn't expected them to run in the direction of the Gu Family.

With his Great Emperor cultivation, he would know about even the slightest disturbance on this continent!

"Jian Wuji, take Little Chen to handle it."

"Yes!" Jian Wuji acknowledged.

The people from the Qingyun Holy Land only then noticed a man standing behind Gu Xuan.

Just one look at him was enough to make you terrified!

They also recalled the rumors outside, that someone from the Gu Family had unleashed two sword strikes and directly wiped out two Holy Lands!

Hiss!! This must be that gentleman, right!

Outside the mountain gate.

A woman dressed in a golden outfit, holding a long whip, was chasing and whipping eighteen people!

Those eighteen people were all covered in wounds and in a miserable state!

But their cultivation was not low; they were all at the Saint Peak!

Eighteen Saints at the Peak, being whipped by a woman and running around like dogs; the scene was truly unsightly!

The onlookers had long since retreated far away!

It wasn't that they wanted to retreat, but they had no choice!

The power of that woman's whip was too fierce; with one strike, the ground would split open.

The shockwaves alone could kill those in the Sovereign Realm; who would dare to get close?

"Isn't that someone from the War Emperor Palace in the Western Region?" someone recognized the attire and shouted!

"Yes!! That woman's attire is the mark of the War Emperor Palace!"

"War Emperor Palace? That Eternal Realm force in the Western Region?"

"That's the one! I heard the War Emperor himself is an Eternal Realm expert, with countless Saint Kings under his command!"

"And who are those eighteen people? How did they provoke the War Emperor Palace? This might be a good show! I wonder if the Gu Family will intervene!"

Someone recognized the eighteen miserable figures fleeing!

"It's the Yi Gang! Those are the eighteen leaders of the Yi Gang! They are all good people! They specialize in chivalrous deeds and have saved many people; how could they have offended the War Emperor Palace?"

"Good people? In this world, can you be a good person without inviting trouble?"

"Exactly! These days everything is fine, except it's hard to be a good person! And offending an Eternal Realm force is a dead end!"

As they were speaking, the woman lashed out with her whip again!

It struck directly on the back of the slowest Yi Gang member!

The man screamed, his back torn open with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and he was sent flying by the whip!

The crowd watched, their hearts trembling!

Hiss!!!

As the saying goes!

One whip shatters the affection of a Saint! Two whips shatter a good person!

"Run? Aren't you all quite good at running?"

The woman sneered, her voice sharp.

"After offending our War Emperor Palace, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you must die!"

The eighteen leaders of the Yi Gang supported each other and retreated near the Gu Family mountain gate.

An old man gritted his teeth and said: "The War Emperor Palace is bullying us too much! We only saved a few hostages; how is that a bad thing?"

"Those hostages were goods that our War Emperor Palace wanted; you let them go, so you are courting death!"

Nothing more to say!

The woman raised her long whip: "Today is your death anniversary!"

The people from the Yi Gang looked at the fairyland inside the Gu Family mountain gate, a final glimmer of hope flashing in their eyes!

They heard the Gu Family was taking in vassals and said that if you became a vassal, they would protect you!

Although it was a bit risky, this was their last path to survival!

"Brothers, hold on!"

But the woman was getting closer and closer, and the whip was already swirling above their heads!

A middle-aged man from the Yi Gang suddenly stopped, turned around, drew his sword, and blocked behind the others!

His name was Han Tiesheng, the third-ranked leader of the Yi Gang!

"Big Brother, you go first! I'll bring up the rear!"

Another young man stopped, clutching a broken sword, covered in blood, but with a firm gaze!

"Second Brother is right, we will hold her off, Big Brother, take the brothers and go in first!"

The others also wanted to stop, but the leading old man, the First Leader of the Yi Gang, Shen Qinghe, looked back, his eyes red!

He had roamed with this group of brothers for three hundred years, fighting from nobodies to the Saint Peak; what he relied on wasn't cultivation, but a breath!

This breath was called 'Righteousness'!

"Bullshit!"

Shen Qinghe grabbed Han Tiesheng.

"If we go, we go together; if we die, we die together! When have I ever abandoned you?"

Han Tiesheng was anxious: "Big Brother!"

"Shut up!"

Shen Qinghe pushed them back.

"You go first! Being alive is better than anything! This is Big Brother's final order!"

The woman didn't care about any of this and lashed out with her whip!

This whip carried the full power of a Saint King at the First Heavenly Layer Peak!

It smashed straight toward Shen Qinghe's face.

The moment the whip fell, Shen Qinghe closed his eyes!

Then, he didn't wait for the pain!

A crisp sound came to his ears!

He opened his eyes!

The long whip stopped in mid-air, and from the tip of the whip, it began to shatter inch by inch, turning into fragments and drifting away!

It wasn't blocked; it was shattered!

He wondered who had intervened to help?!

The woman watched as the whip in her hand dissipated, her pupils shrinking, her smile frozen on her face!

"Who is it?!" She demanded sharply.

A gap opened in the great formation.

An Azure Dragon flew out, and sitting on the dragon's back was none other than Gu Chen!

Jian Wuji walked in the very front, holding a black long sword in his arms, flying straight out.

Gu Chen sat on the Azure Dragon's back, looking at the woman, his voice not loud but very clear: "Causing trouble on my Gu Family's territory, injuring the innocent, and disturbing the order—the Gu Family is in charge here, this is not a place for you to run wild. I'll give you three breaths of time, get lost!"

As the Young Lord, Gu Chen naturally could not tolerate others killing and fighting on his own territory!

The whole scene was silent!

All the onlookers and Cultivators held their breath!

That was a person from the War Emperor Palace, a Disciple of an Eternal Realm force, and he told them to get lost just like that?

This Gu Family is too tough!

It surprised them that the Gu Family would intervene in this matter; it seemed there was a good show to watch!

The crowd watched this good show one after another!

The woman's expression changed!

She hadn't expected that in this backwater, someone would dare to speak to her like that!

It was truly lawless!

"Do you know who I am? Western Region War Emperor Palace! Lord War Emperor is an Eternal Realm expert! You dare to meddle in my business?"

Gu Chen didn't speak!

Whatever Western Region or War Emperor, he hadn't heard of them!

And it didn't matter!

If you have any business, go talk to my Old Ancestor about it!
