Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Arrival


    "Sect Master Gu''s kindness is appreciated, but I, Gu Qingfeng, will not shrink from this battle. I''d like to see for myself just how strong these so-called masters of the Transformation Realm really are!"


    Gu Qingfeng replied with a faint smile, exuding a powerful confidence as he spoke.


    Seeing this,


    Gu Yun slightly shook his head, unsure of how to persuade him further.


    It was only now


    that he suddenly understood.


    For a warrior at Gu Qingfeng''s level, retreating without a fight did not align with his principles.


    With this thought,


    Gu Yun sighed, "Since Mr. Gu is so determined, I won''t say more. I will stay in Guangyang Prefecture for some time. If Mr. Gu needs anything, I certainly won''t refuse to help!"


    He didn''t want Gu Qingfeng to fight Gu Yutian, given the great unpredictability of such a confrontation.


    But if Gu Qingfeng was insistent, there was no stopping him.


    Forcibly intervening


    might just spoil relations between them.


    Thus,


    Gu Yun naturally knew better than to overstep his bounds.


    After speaking, Gu Yun did not linger in the Prince Mansion and took his leave right away.


    Gu Yang instructed his people to escort Gu Yun out.


    Once the latter had left, Gu Yang asked, "Father, how much of what the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect said do you think is true, and how much is false?"


    "Truth or falsehood is irrelevant; in the face of absolute power, all schemes are useless. However, you should indeed investigate the Divine Martial Sect in detail, particularly that Martial Ancestor. If what Gu Yun said is true, then this Martial Ancestor, who has broken through the Great Grandmaster''s shackles, must hold significant secrets!" Gu Qingfeng said.


    For thousands of years, no one in the world had broken through the limits of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.


    It was clear


    that breaking through the barriers of a Great Grandmaster was as difficult as reaching the heavens.


    If the Martial Ancestor managed to break through, it was impossible that there weren''t secrets involved.


    "I''ll have someone look into it right away!"


    Gu Yang nodded.


    With the influence he held in his hands now, investigating certain matters was quite feasible.


    "The Tianyang Sword Sect should also be arriving soon; prepare yourself. Once Gu Yutian falls, it will be our opportunity to send troops to other prefectures and take control of Taishan County," Gu Qingfeng admonished the man before him.


    Gu Yang nodded upon hearing this.


    Compared to the rest of the world, Guangyang Prefecture was simply too small.


    the convoy of the Tianyang Sword Sect had entered Guangyang Prefecture, with the vast cityscape coming into view.


    At that moment,


    within the city, powerful figures from various factions seemed to sense something simultaneously, their gazes shocked as they looked towards the outskirts.


    "This aura... Could it be that he has arrived!"


    "Gu Yutian!!"


    Immediately,


    these powerhouses grew restless, leaving their residences one after the other, heading towards the outer city.


    Inside a particular chamber, Gu Yun also sensed something. When he arrived on top of the city wall, he looked in the direction of the Tianyang Sword Sect''s advance, where inside the conveyance, one person sat upright.


    The latter seemed to sense something as well, opening his blood-red eyes and locking gazes with Gu Yun.


    "So it''s you!"


    A bizarre smile emerged at the corner of Gu Yutian''s mouth, his blood-red eyes displaying a desire to kill, as if a hunter had spotted an enticing prey.


    Sect Master Gu Yun of the Divine Martial Sect!


    Gu Yutian was naturally familiar with him.


    What he hadn''t expected was to see him here.


    However,


    Gu Yutian saw this as a fortuitous turn of events.


    After all, Gu Yun''s strength was not weak; if Gu Qingfeng couldn''t help him break through, then consuming Gu Yun afterward would increase the chances of a breakthrough significantly.


    On the other side,


    as Gu Yun met Gu Yutian''s blood-red eyes, his heart raced wildly, a strong sense of danger flooding his mind, tempting him with the impulse to turn and flee.


    "Gu Yutian... His strength is truly unfathomable!"


    Gu Yun was filled with trepidation.


    Even without clashing, he understood that his own strength was worlds apart from Gu Yutian''s.


    Especially after seeing those blood-colored eyes, Gu Yun finally understood why the other party was so eager to act.


    It was because it was a sign that the Evil Spirit within was about to awaken.


    "The Evil Spirit will soon awaken. If this battle does not lead to Gu Yutian''s breakthrough, then the Evil Spirit within him will fully awaken, and Guangyang Prefecture will face a new and terrifying Disaster Level Evil Spirit!"


    "Such an Evil Spirit, if not suppressed, is also a huge trouble!"


    Gu Yun''s expression changed uncertainly, but the resurrection of the Evil Spirit was a matter for later. Right now, it depended on whether Gu Qingfeng could truly defeat Gu Yutian.


    If he could win, that would be ideal.


    But if he were to fail, then all would be mere speculation.
