The Gu Family Annihilated? The True Colors Revealed!

"Thank you, my husband!"

Gu Qingxue was touched. She knew that Lu Yuan devoted most of his energy to cultivation, so the fact that he took the time to accompany her back was clearly a sign of his affection for her.

Gu Qingxue bit her lower lip, as if she had made a decision.

She stepped forward and gently tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve, her voice barely audible: "Husband... I have some confusion in my cultivation, and I would like to ask you... for some private guidance."

After saying that, her face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

The two knew perfectly well what the so-called guidance meant.

Looking at Gu Qingxue's appearance, Lu Yuan immediately understood.

"In that case, I will naturally impart all my knowledge to you."

Lu Yuan laughed loudly, picked up Gu Qingxue around the waist, and strode into the hall.

The palace gates were tightly closed.

Under the operation of the dual cultivation technique "Yin Yang Dragon and Phoenix Technique", Lu Yuan's newly broken-through realm was completely stabilized, and Gu Qingxue also benefited greatly. Her nascent soul became more and more crystal clear, and her cultivation improved a lot.

……

The Great Yan Kingdom, Tianyuan City.

The Gu residence in Tianyuan City was unusually lively today.

The Gu family mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, with red silk hanging high, creating a joyous and festive atmosphere.

However, amidst this festive atmosphere, the atmosphere inside the Gu family home was unusually heavy and oppressive.

Inside the main hall.

Gu Changsheng, the patriarch of the Gu family, sat in the main seat. Although he was wearing a festive red burial robe, his face was sallow and his breathing was weak. He could not help but cough from time to time, which showed that he had old injuries.

The current head of the Gu family and a group of elders below also looked worried and were restless.

"Ancestor, the Zhou, Chu, and Liu families haven't arrived yet, but news from the market says that all three families have put up signs saying they're closed today, and they've also surrounded several of our Gu family's properties."

"Gu Tianming, the head of the Gu family, said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with resentment."

"What are they trying to do? Do they really want to break off all ties today?" an elder shouted angrily, slamming his fist on the table.

Gu Changsheng sighed and waved his hand: "This was expected. Ever since Qingxue broke off the engagement, our Gu family has lost the connection with Taiyi Sect. In addition, I was seriously injured. These three families have long been eyeing our share of Tianyuan City."

"I just didn't expect them to choose today to launch their attack."

Just as everyone was discussing it.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion broke out outside the door, followed by the butler's voice, tinged with panic.

"The Zhou family head, the Chu family head, and the Liu family head have arrived!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Three powerful auras stormed into the Gu family's main hall.

The leader, dressed in a purple robe with a sinister face, was none other than Liu Chengfeng, the head of the Liu family. He unabashedly unleashed his late-stage Golden Core cultivation, making it difficult for the younger members of the Gu family to breathe.

Behind him stood Zhou Yi, the head of the Zhou family, and Chu Batian, the head of the Chu family. Both were at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and their faces wore forced smiles.

Beside Liu Chengfeng was a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous palace attire.

The woman was beautifully made up, and her eyes and brows exuded an air of arrogance. A jade pendant with a faint spiritual light hung at her waist, clearly an extraordinary protective treasure.

Upon seeing this woman, Gu Changsheng's expression instantly turned even more unpleasant.

Liu Ruyan!

Liu Chengfeng's younger sister, and also the concubine of Xuanji Sword Master of the Great Luo Sword Sect!

"Haha, Brother Gu, today is your 500th birthday! As your brother, I'm late, please forgive me!"

Liu Chengfeng walked into the hall laughing. Although he said "forgive me" on his lips, there was not a trace of respect in his tone.

"Bring up the gifts that our three families have prepared!"

With a wave of his hand.

Several attendants immediately carried in two items covered with red cloth and placed them heavily in the center of the hall with a thud.

Liu Chengfeng kicked the red cloth away.

Wow!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

On the left was a pitch-black coffin, emanating a decaying, deathly aura, clearly made of rotten spirit wood, which is known to kill longevity.

On the right is a bronze bell as tall as a person, with its surface engraved with hideous ghost faces.

Sending off the bell! Sending off the coffin!

This isn't a birthday celebration; it's clearly a curse wishing someone an early death!

"You...you all..."

Gu Changsheng looked at the two items and trembled with rage, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

"Ancestor!"

The Gu family members were shocked and rushed forward to help him up.

"Liu Chengfeng! You've gone too far!" Gu Tianming drew his longsword, glaring angrily. "Today is a joyous day for my Gu family, and you've sent these things—are you trying to start a war with my Gu family?"

"Go to war?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over the Gu family members: "With your current group of old, weak, and disabled people, do you think you're worthy of talking to me about war?"

"Gu Changsheng, let's not beat around the bush."

"You're already halfway to your grave. Your Gu family can't handle the assets in Tianyuan City."

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the land deeds to the market today and get your people out of Tianyuan City. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I might spare your lives."

"otherwise……"

He pointed to the coffin, "This coffin made of rotten spirit wood was specially prepared for you!"

"good!"

Chu Batian, standing to the side, also said in a sinister tone, "Old ghost Gu, don't be ungrateful. This Tianyuan City is now the domain of our three major families."

"You bunch of robbers!" a young disciple of the Gu family couldn't help but curse.

"presumptuous!"

Liu Ruyan, who had not spoken until now, suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply.

Snapped!

She slapped him from a distance, sending the Gu family disciple who had spoken flying. Half of his face swelled up, and he spat out blood mixed with his teeth all over the ground.

"Who gives you the right to interrupt when the Liu family is speaking?"

Liu Ruyan smoothed a strand of hair at her temple, her expression extremely arrogant: "It is your Gu family's good fortune that the three of us can take over your business."

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves? Without the protection of the Taiyi Sect, what are you Gu family members?"

"I think Tianyuan City should have been renamed Liu City long ago!"

Her arrogant and domineering attitude completely enraged everyone in the Gu family.

But looking at the jade pendant at Liu Ruyan's waist that represented the Xuanji Sword Master, and the oppressive aura of Liu Chengfeng at the late Golden Core stage, the Gu family members dared not speak out in anger, their hearts filled with despair.

Is today truly the day the Gu family will be wiped out?

Gu Changsheng's face turned ashen, and he gave a bitter laugh: "Fine, fine, fine..."

"Since you want it, then take it..."

In order to preserve his family bloodline, he had no choice but to bow his head.

"Ancestor! We can't give it to him!"

"Shut up!" Gu Changsheng snapped, looking as if he had aged ten years.

Seeing the Gu family back down, Liu Chengfeng and the others revealed triumphant laughter.

"That's right, a wise person knows when to yield."

Liu Chengfeng reached out to take the land deed from Gu Tianming's hand.
