31: Capture the boy surnamed Yang
"Misunderstanding? My City Lord's Mansion guards saw it with their own eyes, could it be false?" the White Mist City Lord retorted.
“This…” Gu Feiyang’s expression was extremely ugly, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Night Owl saw this situation.
He unleashed his Heaven Soul Peak aura and walked smilingly to the White Mist City Lord. "Stop falsely accusing people here. Those two dogs at the city gate were killed by me. It has nothing to do with my Junior Brother Gu. If you want to find someone, find me."
"You... why did you kill my guards?"
The White Mist City Lord was repeatedly forced back by Night Owl's aura, his heart filled with extreme dread.
Although they were both at Heaven Soul Peak, the aura Night Owl exuded was clearly much stronger than his.
If Young Master Yang wasn't here, he would have already turned and fled.
"Hiss, Chen'er, is this red-haired young man your Senior Brother?" Gu Feiyang asked Gu Chen, his face full of shock.
He had almost despaired just now.
The White Mist City Lord was a Heaven Soul Peak expert. If he truly intended to harm the Gu family, then all of them would be doomed today.
He never expected that among the few people Gu Chen brought back, there was actually one expert comparable to the White Mist City Lord.
It was truly astonishing.
"That's right, Dad. Didn't I tell you? I apprenticed myself to a powerful master, and he's my Eldest Senior Brother. He's incredibly fierce and blows people up at the slightest provocation," Gu Chen replied jokingly.
"He really is Senior Brother!"
Upon receiving Gu Chen's confirmation, Gu Feiyang's heart settled.
With a Heaven Soul Peak expert here, the White Mist City Lord would not be able to harm the Gu family.
As for the lives of the two guards, at most, they would compensate with some spirit stones, and the White Mist City Lord would likely not pursue it further.
"Uncle Chi, don't panic. With me here, they won't be able to stir up any trouble."
Young Master Yang comforted the White Mist City Lord, then looked at Gu Chen and said, "You must be Gu Chen, who is engaged to Xinyue. I came today mainly to break off her engagement. Hand over the marriage contract quickly. A good-for-nothing like you is not worthy of Xinyue."
After the young man finished speaking, he looked arrogant.
Small families like the Gu family were like ants in his eyes.
Even if Night Owl unleashed his Heaven Soul Peak cultivation, it wouldn't catch his eye.
His Dao Protector could easily crush Night Owl.
"Gu Chen, don't think that just because you have a Heaven Soul Peak Senior Brother, you're amazing. Young Master Yang's identity is beyond your imagination. Hand over the marriage contract, and if Young Master Yang is in a good mood, he might even spare your lives," Chi Xinyue echoed from the side.
She was also very surprised by Night Owl's cultivation.
But with Young Master Yang by her side, she wasn't afraid at all.
It seemed the city gate guards were indeed killed by Night Owl.
Gu Chen's cultivation had not, in fact, reached the point where he could kill a Void Breaking Peak expert; he was still that good-for-nothing whose cultivation had regressed.
So her disgust for Gu Chen had reached its peak.
"Hmph, Chi Xinyue, you truly are shameless… you even hooked up with other men while still engaged to me."
"Today, it's not you breaking off the engagement, but me, Gu Chen, divorcing you, divorcing you, this shameless thing."
Gu Chen took out paper and pen, wrote a divorce letter, and together with the engagement contract, fiercely threw them at the two.
"Get lost! From today onwards, I, Gu Chen, and you, Chi Xinyue, have no relation whatsoever!" Gu Chen shouted at the two.
"Gu Chen, you good-for-nothing, how dare you divorce me? What right do you have to divorce me, Chi Xinyue?" Chi Xinyue shrieked, looking at the divorce letter in her hand, almost going mad with anger.
All this time, she had looked down on Gu Chen and despised him.
Even the three-year agreement was just her pitying Gu Chen and giving him a little hope.
Now that she had found a better partner, it was only natural for her to kick Gu Chen aside.
She never expected Gu Chen to dare to divorce her; it was utterly humiliating.
"Heh, just because right now, in my eyes, you are a good-for-nothing, and a shameless good-for-nothing at that," Gu Chen sneered.
He originally didn't have much goodwill towards Chi Xinyue.
Now she even brought a man to break off the engagement; did she really think he was easy to bully?
"You..." Chi Xinyue's face was filled with venom.
She put on a pitiful act and said to Young Master Yang, "Young Master Yang, you must uphold justice for me! This good-for-nothing has humiliated me so much, I don't want to live anymore, boo hoo."
With her current Core Condensation Realm cultivation, she certainly couldn't do anything to Gu Chen.
And her father was also frightened by Night Owl.
Now she could only rely on Young Master Yang in front of her. As long as Young Master Yang helped her, even annihilating the Gu family today would be possible.
"Xinyue, don't cry. I, your Senior Brother, will definitely satisfy you."
Young Master Yang comforted Chi Xinyue, then looked at Gu Chen with a stern expression. "Boy, if you kneel down and apologize to Xinyue now, I can spare your dog life. Otherwise, today will be the day your Gu family is exterminated."
"Trash, how dare you threaten me? Chi Xinyue, I'll let you see how ridiculous this good-for-nothing you've latched onto truly is."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, he unleashed his Heaven Soul Peak cultivation and charged towards Young Master Yang.
In just one encounter.
Young Master Yang, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now held in Gu Chen's hand like a dead dog.
"Impossible! Aren't you a Core Condensation Realm good-for-nothing whose cultivation regressed? How can you have such strength?" Young Master Yang cried out in terror.
He never expected that Gu Chen, whom Chi Xinyue had called a regressed Core Condensation Realm good-for-nothing.
Actually captured him, a Heaven Soul Fourth Layer expert, in a single encounter.
It was truly terrifying.
"Young Master Yang!" Chi Xinyue screamed in disbelief.
Her brain almost short-circuited.
How could Young Master Yang, a Heavenly Soul Realm expert, be captured by Gu Chen in a single encounter?
What was Gu Chen's cultivation?
Wasn't he in the Core Condensation Realm? How could he capture Young Master Yang alive?
"Bang!"
The White Mist City Lord sat on the ground, his face blank.
The cultivation Gu Chen unleashed was Heaven Soul Peak.
His aura was no less inferior to Night Owl's.
He couldn't imagine how Gu Chen had reached such a cultivation in just over ten days.
"Chen... Chen'er, you... you really broke through to Heaven Soul Peak?" Gu Feiyang asked Gu Chen, dumbfounded.
Earlier, when Gu Chen sent a message saying he had broken through to Heaven Soul Peak, he thought Gu Chen was about to go berserk.
But now, the cultivation Gu Chen unleashed was a solid Heaven Soul Peak aura.
"Dad, I told you a long time ago, you just didn't believe me." Gu Chen said proudly, looking at Gu Feiyang's exaggerated expression.
He finally managed to shock his old father.
"Boy, release me quickly! When my Dao Protector arrives, that will be your death day."
"Elder Bi! Elder Bi! Come save me, where did you go?"
Young Master Yang, held in mid-air by Gu Chen, kept shouting.
Logically, when Gu Chen made a move against him, his Dao Protector should have intervened to save him.
But now, he was being carried like a dog by Gu Chen, and that Dao Protector still hadn't appeared, which was truly strange.
"Elder Bi must have gone to have fun. When he comes back, I'll be saved."
"Hmph, kid, however proud you are now, you'll cry just as ugly later."
Young Master Yang constantly comforted himself internally.
Elder Bi was a Heavenly Venerable Third Layer expert, specially sent by his grandfather to protect him.
Within Liang Province, it was impossible for him to be silently eliminated.
He must have gone to play at a brothel in the city.
After all, it was rumored that this Old Thing had a fondness for such places.
