Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Martial Ancestor


    Now.


    With Gu Qingfeng''s execution of Jiang Shidao, the entire Prefecture fell into an abrupt silence.


    In the past, other outsiders, some not fearing the Hidden Guard''s authority, would secretly cause chaos.


    But now.


    They had all disappeared without a trace.


    Cause chaos?


    What a joke!


    Gu Qingfeng''s cross-space strike that killed Jiang Shidao had effectively cut down everyone else''s courage.


    In terms of strength.


    Today, those within the Prefecture City who believed they were stronger than Jiang Shidao could be counted on one hand.


    Even looking across the Nine States, Jiang Shidao''s power was formidable.


    Moreover.


    Even Jiang Shidao, an elder of the Taisu Sect, was mercilessly slain by Gu Qingfeng.


    If even the Immortal Sects couldn''t deter them, let alone others.


    That being the case.


    Other powers naturally didn''t dare cause trouble.


    ——


    Inside the Prefecture City.


    Gu Qingfeng looked indifferent.


    As if taking Jiang Shidao''s life with a cross-space strike was a trivial matter for him.


    Beside him, Gu Yang, even now, wasn''t clear about what had happened, only seeing Gu Qingfeng''s sudden eruption of a powerful True Intent fluctuation, which made him feel an immense threat.


    Under such a fluctuation of True Intent, Gu Yang found himself insignificant as an ant.


    However.


    This fluctuation came quickly and left quickly.


    Seeing Gu Qingfeng''s aura recede, Gu Yang couldn''t help but ask, "Father, what happened?"


    "It''s nothing, just a minor issue, but it has already been resolved by your father."


    Gu Qingfeng said blandly.


    Although he spoke lightly, Gu Yang was clear that the matter was certainly no small affair.


    But what exactly happened, Gu Yang temporarily did not know.


    However.


    Before Gu Yang''s confusion lingered too long, a Prefecture City guard came to report on the incident.


    Upon hearing that Gu Qingfeng had executed an elder of an Immortal Sect with a cross-space strike, Gu Yang was stunned in place for a long while.


    Gu Yun displayed a hint of a smile on his face, then nodded in agreement, "The Guangyang Prince is correct, our Divine Martial Sect is indeed the origin of Universal Martial Arts."


    "Our ancestor founded the Divine Martial Sect out of compassion for the common people''s struggles, spreading martial arts throughout the world and teaching the masses the ways of Martial Arts."


    "As a result, our ancestor came to be honored as the Martial Ancestor!"


    When mentioning the Martial Ancestor, pride involuntarily surfaced on Gu Yun''s face.


    As the origin of Universal Martial Arts,


    The Martial Ancestor was honored as the foremost figure in martial arts.


    With his role as the current Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect, Gu Yun certainly had cause for pride.


    Gu Qingfeng''s gaze shifted subtly upon hearing these words.


    He hadn''t expected the Divine Martial Sect to have such a historical background.


    Martial Ancestor!


    Such a title couldn''t just be claimed by anyone.


    If Gu Yun spoke the truth, then the Martial Ancestor of the Divine Martial Sect must have been extraordinary.


    A pioneer in Martial Arts!


    At the very least, his cultivation must have reached the Grandmaster Realm.


    Otherwise,


    Universal Martial Arts wouldn''t be associated directly with the Grandmaster Realm.


    As the first Martial Arts Grandmaster, the Martial Ancestor''s legacy was surrounded by many enigmatic auras.


    On the other side,


    Gu Yun harbored pride only briefly before it vanished; he then laughed at himself.


    "It''s just a pity that since the Martial Ancestor''s passing, some have developed the forbidden technique of Refining Evil, allowing the profession of Magician to emerge and the status of Martial Artists to plummet."


    "Our Divine Martial Sect, having inherited the legacy of the Martial Ancestor, should have taken the responsibility of revitalizing Martial Arts."


    "Regrettably, the successors in our sect have not lived up to expectations. Since the Martial Ancestor, no one in the Divine Martial Sect has achieved the rank of Martial Arts Grandmaster."


    "Were it not for the other Immortal Sects'' wariness of the Martial Ancestor''s legacy, the Divine Martial Sect might have long vanished into the annals of history."


    Gu Yun''s words revealed much information.


    However,


    Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly upon hearing them.


    "These matters you speak of seem to have nothing to do with me, do they?"


    "On the contrary, they are related!"


    Gu Yun shook his head gently.


    "When the Martial Ancestor passed away, he left behind his legacy, which involves secrets that transcend even a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Sadly, to unravel such secrets requires the cultivation of a Martial Arts Grandmaster."


    "Mr. Gu, you are the only living Martial Arts Grandmaster in the world today."


    "Moreover, considering the battle outside the prefecture city earlier, where Mr. Gu killed an elder of the Taisu Sect with a single strike from afar, you must at least be at the level of a True Intent Grandmaster."


    "As long as you accompany me back to the Divine Martial Sect and receive the Martial Ancestor''s legacy, we can surely revitalize Martial Arts!"
