"Your descendant ’Gu Yang’ has taken another city, and his forces have greatly increased!"


    "Your descendant ’Gu Yang’ was attacked by a Magician from the God Fusion Realm!"


    "Your descendant ’Gu Yang’ used the Evil Slayer Blade to kill a Magician from the God Fusion Realm!"


    ...


    Inside the Grinding Blade Hall, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the attribute panel and when he saw that it was an attack from a God Fusion Realm Magician, his eyes turned slightly cold, but soon returned to normal.


    "God Fusion Realm Magician... is it from the Tianyang Sword Sect or some other force?" Gu Qingfeng murmured to himself.


    A warrior of this caliber is rarer than an Innate Grandmaster.


    Any Magician from the God Fusion Realm holds a considerable status and position.


    Even within the Immortal Sect, beings of this level could be considered high-ranking.


    Therefore, the moment the information about the attack from a God Fusion Realm Magician appeared, Gu Qingfeng’s first thought was of the Tianyang Sword Sect.


    After all, apart from the Tianyang Sword Sect, he really couldn’t think of anyone else who would employ such a powerful individual for an assassination.


    However, Gu Qingfeng didn’t ponder over this uncertainty for too long.


    As soon as a Hidden Guard came in and handed him the letter brought by pigeon, all of Gu Qingfeng’s doubts were resolved.


    "Nangong Yu, the commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau in Nanyang County!"


    The presence of the Evil Suppression Bureau...


    It had been a while since Gu Qingfeng had heard about it.


    As an institution under the Taixuan Dynasty responsible for suppressing Evil Spirits, every state and prefecture had its own branch of the Evil Suppression Bureau.


    Originally, there was a branch in Guangyang Prefecture.


    But since the time Gu Yang made his move, the Evil Suppression Bureau in Guangyang Prefecture had vanished without a trace.


    Clearly, this was because the Guangyang Prefecture’s Evil Suppression Bureau either had no confidence in confronting Gu Yang or no intention to join him, and for the sake of preserving their strength, they had withdrawn from Guangyang Prefecture.


    Later on, as Gu Yang annexed the entire Taishan County, all branches of the Evil Suppression Bureau in the area seemed to disappear into thin air, leaving no trace behind.


    As his power grew stronger, Gu Qingfeng no longer considered the affairs of the Evil Suppression Bureau to be of much importance.


    After all, the Evil Suppression Bureau was just one institution of the Taixuan Dynasty. Even if it was somewhat powerful, how powerful could it really be?


    With his own strength, Gu Qingfeng naturally had the right to disregard the existence of the Evil Suppression Bureau.


    Until now.


    When the letter from Nanyang County arrived.


    Gu Qingfeng began to think about the Evil Suppression Bureau again.


    However, with the protection of the Evil Slayer Blade, any Magician from the God Fusion Realm attempting an assassination would simply be courting death.


    To put it bluntly, now that the Evil Slayer Blade, carrying his own power, could even slay those from the Transformation Realm, let alone a mere Magician from the God Fusion Realm.


    This time,


    He did not make a grand show of it.


    However, before leaving the Gu Family Manor, Gu Qingfeng had assigned Gu Peng the responsibility for handling the affairs of the manor and had Hong Ye and others secretly guard the safety within the manor.


    Excluding Xu Yulan, there were several Innate Grandmasters in the Gu Family Manor now, so Gu Qingfeng wasn’t worried about any problems arising.


    The Gu Family Manor was already incomparable to its former self.


    ...


    While Gu Qingfeng was leaving for Nanyang County,


    On the other side,


    The pigeon carrying messages


    Had already arrived first.


    Looking at the letter in his hand, Gu Yang showed a smile.


    "Good, if father is willing to take action personally, then the problems at Blood Mountain Mansion are negligible, now we just need to focus on dealing with the Tianyang Sword Sect and the Pei Family!"


    Having the Hidden Guard inform Gu Qingfeng about the situation in Nanyang County was also Gu Yang’s way of requesting his intervention.


    Therefore,


    Now that Gu Qingfeng was willing to intervene, the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally settled.


    Gu Yun and the other generals, upon hearing Gu Yang’s words, also showed delight.


    They were well aware of whom Gu Yang was referring to as ’father’.


    If he was willing to intervene, let alone just Blood Mountain Mansion, even ten Pei Families and Tianyang Sword Sects would be negligible.


    Gu Yun said, "Since Master Gu is willing to intervene, then the problem with the Evil Spirit of Blood Mountain Mansion is negligible. What does His Majesty plan to do next?"


    "The Pei Family and Tianyang Sword Sect have committed massacres that provoke both heavenly and human wrath; hence, both forces are unnecessary to exist.


    First, we eliminate the Pei Family and Tianyang Sword Sect, which will significantly reduce the resistance we face in unifying Nanyang County."


    Gu Yang’s expression was icy, and his intent to kill was unmistakable.


    The two families were definitely to be eliminated.


    Originally, Gu Yang planned to gradually undermine them and then wipe out both families, ensuring an infallible victory.


    But now, with the news of the massacre and since Gu Qingfeng was going to intervene personally, Gu Yang no longer opted for such a cautious approach.


    Eliminate both families.


    Then turn back to deal with the other forces in Nanyang County.


    Hearing this, Gu Yun’s expression showed a slight surprise, but he soon understood Gu Yang’s intentions and then nodded.


    "Whatever His Majesty commands, Divine Martial Sect will dedicate its full efforts!"
