72: Chapter 72 Quasi-Emperor

"Sen... Senior, spare me!" Grand Elder Nangong Yuan fell to his knees with a thud!

A powerhouse at the First Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Sovereign Realm, kneeling on the ground and trembling all over!

"I was just, I was just muddled for a moment!"

Jian Wuji looked at him without saying a word.

"I beg Senior to spare my life! I beg Senior to spare my life!"

The entire scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone watched this scene, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions!

A Quasi-Emperor, that was a Quasi-Emperor!

Placed in the Central Plains, that was an existence standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid!

Yet now, he was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy like a stray dog!

The contrast between before and after was too great!

It caused the crowd of Cultivators to harbor serious doubts about this world!

Was this still the high and mighty Quasi-Emperor?

Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Gu Chen.

"Young Lord, how should we deal with this person?"

Swoosh!

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Gu Chen.

Watching to see what he would do.

Gu Chen raised the sword and looked at it, but didn't feel there was anything special about it!

But!

This was given to him by the Old Ancestor!

This was the most special thing!

Now, someone actually wanted to snatch the sword given to him by the Old Ancestor; that was absolutely unforgivable!

"If you want my sword, you must have the life to take it!"

He turned his head to look at Jian Wuji.

"Uncle Jian, I leave it to you!"

Jian Wuji nodded and looked at Grand Elder Nangong Yuan.

Grand Elder Nangong Yuan's face turned pale; he wanted to run, but his body wouldn't move.

Jian Wuji's pressure locked him down; let alone running, he couldn't even move a single finger.

"No! Don't!"

Jian Wuji drew his sword!

One strike!

Grand Elder Nangong Yuan's body froze.

Three breaths later, the Grand Elder of the Nangong Family, at the First Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Sovereign Realm.

Instantly vanished without a trace!

Hiss!!

The entire scene was once again dead silent.

Those who had just been discussing were now unable to say a single word.

Another Quasi-Emperor.

Gone again!

Also with just one strike!

"This is already the fourth Quasi-Emperor!"

"Three from the Zhao Family, one from the Nangong Family—four Quasi-Emperors, all gone in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

"And look at those three, their expressions never changed from start to finish, as if they weren't killing Quasi-Emperors, but chickens!"

"It's not 'as if', in their eyes, a Quasi-Emperor might really be about the same as a chicken!"

"Killing a Quasi-Emperor as easily as killing a chicken—only they could do that!"

Everyone could see it!

From the moment those three appeared until they struck, from beginning to end, there wasn't a single wasted movement, not a single wasted bit of Spiritual Qi!

Clean and efficient!

"I fear the status quo of the Central Plains for the last thousand years has been broken today."

"The Zhao Family and Nangong Family are finished; from now on, this Gu Family will become the new power of the Central Plains!"

"How could it be a 'new power'? This is simply a hegemon!"

"Three Quasi-Emperor Peak Cultivators as guardians—which Imperial Clan could do that? Do you think Quasi-Emperor Peak Cultivators are bought wholesale?"

The crowd was speechless!

Indeed, which Imperial Clan could do that?

Not a single one!

"Today, we have witnessed history! Four Quasi-Emperors have fallen, seen with our own eyes, not just hearsay."

"I can brag about this for a lifetime when I go back!"

"Brag? Do you dare to talk about it? Although the Zhao Family and Nangong Family are finished, the remnants are still there. Do you not want to live?"

Ru Shuang stood beside Gu Chen, looking at his calm profile, and that indescribable feeling in her heart grew a little stronger.

This person, facing three Quasi-Emperors without changing his expression, and not even excited after killing a Quasi-Emperor, as if everything was a matter of course.

Or perhaps, in the Gu Family, such things were very common?

That couldn't be possible, right?

Her grandfather's voice sounded in her mind.

"Girl, this Gu Family is even deeper than we thought; the more I think about it, the more terrifying it feels."

Her grandfather's voice was very solemn.

"Three guardians who are at least at the Quasi-Emperor Peak acting as bodyguards for a Young Lord in the Sovereign Realm—what does this mean? It means that in the Gu Family, the Quasi-Emperor Peak is nothing."

"Then what about the Gu Family Ancestor?"

"Don't guess; it's unfathomable."

"That's why I said, this kid is not bad; you can Cultivate a relationship with him! By then, even if your father comes, he won't be able to take you away!"

"Grandfather! You are teasing me again."

Ru Shuang's grandfather instantly made Ru Shuang shy!

Meanwhile, Gu Chen brushed off his clothes, now only thinking about the competition!

He would be late in a while!

"Let's go! We're going to be late for the competition."

Gu Qingshan and Li Shuangxu quickly followed.

Ru Shuang was stunned for a moment, then followed as well.

Meanwhile, huge changes were happening in the Gu Family!

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua stood in the plaza, looking at the dense crowd before him, his mouth almost crooked from smiling!

"A Breakthrough! Another Breakthrough! The seventeenth one!"

A Disciple of an affiliated faction walked out of the Marrow Cleansing Array, his aura surging, at the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm, just one step away from becoming a Saint!

"Clan Leader Gu, I've also broken through!"

Another person rushed out, face full of excitement, incredibly thrilled!

This feeling was absolutely exhilarating for him!

"Good, good, good!"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua smiled from ear to ear.

This month, the Gu Family's Cultivation resources were supplied openly, and the Spiritual Qi of the immortal veins was so dense it was like it was about to condense into water.

The resources could not be used up; they absolutely could not be used up!

They were used up, and the next second they arrived again; the restocking was even more effective than talking to one's own father!

You might be hesitant when asking your father for money, but in the Gu Family, if you say the resources are gone, they are delivered the next second!

Those Disciples of the affiliated factions were all Cultivating like madmen!

Today you break through to Half-Saint, tomorrow I break through to Saint.

The day after?

The day after, everyone becomes a Saint!

"Clan Leader Gu!"

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan walked over, his whole demeanor steady, at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Saint King Realm.

Behind him followed the Disciples of the Qingyun Holy Land, the lowest being at the Peak of the Half-Saint Realm, with one-third being Saints!

"At this rate, in another half a month, every member of the Qingyun Holy Land will be a Saint!"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua nodded, "Not bad. The Gu Family Ancestor said it must be achieved within three months; you still have time."

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan smiled bitterly.

Three months?

At this rate, one month is enough.

But he didn't say it.

Because the Gu Family's resources were truly too terrifying!

The Marrow Cleansing Array, immortal veins, enlightenment tea, ginseng fruit, Imperial Rank Medicinal Pills, and all sorts of other things were used as if they didn't cost a cent!

If these things were placed outside, any one of them would make Imperial Clans break their heads fighting for them.

In the Gu Family, you can use them freely!

Unlimited!

Self-service!

"Clan Leader Gu."

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan lowered his voice, "What exactly is the cultivation level of the Gu Family Ancestor?"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua smiled.

"I don't know."

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan's mouth twitched.

You are the Clan Leader, and you don't know?

Who would believe that if you said it?

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua patted his shoulder, "Don't think about it; anyway, it's higher than yours!"

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan smiled bitterly.

Isn't that nonsense?

Just as he was about to ask again, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua had already turned and walked away.

"Alright, you continue to keep watch; I have something else to do."

"What is it?"

Clan Leader Gu Tianhua didn't even look back, "Preparing the betrothal gifts."

Sacred Master Huo Dongyuan was stunned.

Betrothal gifts?

Who is getting married?
