Demon Pu recalled his first encounter with Gu Qingfeng, when a man claiming to be from the Gu Family had come, only to be killed by a single glance from him.
The Gu Family? One of the four great families of the imperial capital? Gu Qingfeng!?
Gu Qingfeng must be from the Gu Family. He had personally admitted that they were his distant relatives.
This statement sparked a realization in Demon Pu. As a deity, Gu Qingfeng couldn’t possibly be as young as he appeared. He must be an ancient monster who had lived for countless years. Moreover, his acknowledgment of the Gu Family as his distant relatives suggested that Gu Qingfeng was likely the ancestral patriarch of the Gu Family from ages past.
If he was indeed the ancestral patriarch, he would surely have some emotional attachment to his descendants. Since Demon Pu couldn’t shake off the deity’s pursuit, he might as well take the Gu Family hostage and force Gu Qingfeng to hesitate!
As Demon Pu thought this, a flash of madness and ruthlessness flickered in his eyes.
The fact that he had schemed for hundreds of years to seize the Blood Demon was proof enough that he was a patient and merciless individual... or rather, demon.
To save his own life, he was willing to threaten a deity!
With this in mind, Demon Pu immediately changed direction and headed straight for the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Although the capital was home to countless powerful figures, including the nation’s Grand Preceptor, who was hailed as the strongest human and had reached the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm, none of them could compare to a deity.
If he could escape the deity, Demon Pu was willing to face the pursuit of a group of Dragon Transformation Realm experts.
Seeing Demon Pu change direction, Gu Qingfeng didn’t think much of it and continued to chase relentlessly. Being directionally challenged, he had no idea how to get to the capital.
Several hours later, a magnificent city bathed in sunlight appeared before Demon Pu’s eyes.
It was the imperial capital of the Great Yan Dynasty!
From a distance, the capital appeared in a light golden hue, as it was enveloped by a layer of defensive runes that shimmered under the sunlight.
The runes were powerful, but due to their vast coverage, their defensive capabilities weren’t exceptionally high. Still, they could withstand attacks from Grandmaster-level experts.
A look of delight crossed Demon Pu’s face, and without hesitation, he struck with a palm.
Boom!
The light golden runic barrier was instantly shattered, creating a large hole. Seizing the opportunity, Demon Pu entered the capital.
As a peak-level expert, breaking into the capital was a trivial matter for Demon Pu, especially since the capital wasn’t the imperial palace.
The moment the barrier was breached, a loud alarm bell rang throughout the city.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The bell warned the entire city that an enemy had intruded.
Demon Pu’s strike had shaken the entire capital.
For countless years, as the heart of the Great Yan Dynasty, the capital had never been forcibly breached!
In an instant, beams of light shot into the sky as the city’s guardians and countless armored soldiers sprang into action.
The experts who saw Demon Pu immediately paled.
“This is bad! It’s a peak Dragon Transformation Realm demon!”
“Quick, summon the Grand Preceptor!”
“Stop him! Don’t let him near the imperial palace!”
Numerous Grandmasters and reclusive Dragon Transformation Realm experts rushed toward the palace to block Demon Pu.
However, in the next moment, they were stunned.
Demon Pu had veered off course, completely bypassing the palace and instead flying in the opposite direction.
“Where is he going?”
“That direction... it seems to be the Gu Family?”
“The Gu Family?! When did the Gu Family provoke such a terrifying demon, making him dare to breach the capital for revenge?”
“Send word to the Gu Family immediately!”
“Quick, guard the palace! The rest of you, follow me to the Gu Family. We cannot allow this fiend to wreak havoc in the capital, or the Great Yan Dynasty will lose all face!”
Several streaks of light chased after Demon Pu.
Meanwhile, as everyone’s attention was focused on Demon Pu, Gu Qingfeng quietly entered the capital.
With strength comparable to an early Dragon Transformation Realm expert and no detectable aura, the city guards were completely unaware of his presence.
After entering, Gu Qingfeng looked around and was struck by the city’s immense size and grandeur. Compared to this, Wutong County seemed like a rural backwater.
However, Gu Qingfeng didn’t dwell on it. Catching Demon Pu was his priority.
......
The Gu Family.
“Elder, it’s bad! The city’s alarm bell has sounded—someone has broken into the capital!”
A member of the Gu Family rushed in panic to the family head.
The Gu Family head snorted coldly. “I’m not deaf; I can hear it. But you, panicking like this—what kind of impression does that give? As one of the four great families, we must maintain our dignity!”
“But... but the intruder is a peak Dragon Transformation Realm demon!”
The family head’s expression shifted slightly, but he still reprimanded, “So what if it’s a peak Dragon Transformation Realm demon? This is the capital! It’s filled with powerful figures, and the Grand Preceptor is the strongest human alive. What is there to fear? How many times have I told you to remain calm and composed? Even if the mountains crumble before you, your face should not change, and if the sea...”
“Elder! The city’s general has sent word that the peak Dragon Transformation Realm demon is coming for our Gu Family!” the family member shouted in desperation.
“What!?” The family head’s face turned pale, and he immediately bellowed, “Quick, summon the ancestral patriarch!”
“No need to summon me.”
A deep voice suddenly rang out, and an elderly man with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white robe exuding an immortal aura walked out with a solemn expression.
“Greetings, Ancestral Patriarch.”
“No need for formalities.”
“Ancestral Patriarch, what should we do about the Dragon Transformation Realm demon coming for our family?” the family head asked anxiously.
As someone who had long served the ancestral patriarch, he understood better than anyone the terror of a Dragon Transformation Realm expert, let alone a peak-level one.
The Gu Family’s ancestral patriarch, Gu Shaoshang, snorted. “If it’s fortune, it cannot be avoided; if it’s calamity, it cannot be escaped. As the head of the Gu Family, how can you panic like this? Remember, this is the capital!”
“Gather all the Grandmasters in the family and activate the defensive formation immediately. I will go and meet him.”
As the defensive formation was activated, Gu Shaoshang hid behind it, his gaze fixed on the sky with a grave expression.
A moment later, a dark figure appeared abruptly in the sky above the Gu Family.
At that moment, countless members of the Gu Family looked up and felt as if dark clouds were pressing down, making the sky seem lower than before.
Gu Shaoshang, separated by layers of the defensive formation, sensed the overwhelming pressure emanating from the figure and his heart sank.
Such an intense aura—it was almost on par with the Grand Preceptor!
He was only at the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, while his opponent was at the peak. The gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm.
His only hope now was to stall until the Grand Preceptor arrived.
With countless members of the Gu Family watching, Gu Shaoshang had no choice but to step forward. Thankfully, the layers of the defensive formation gave him a slight sense of security.
“Esteemed demonic friend, may I ask why you have come to the Gu Family? Our family has always been law-abiding and should not have offended you.”
Gu Shaoshang hoped to buy some time with his words, but Demon Pu didn’t even glance at him. Instead, he nervously scanned his surroundings, looking around like a thief.
Not seeing the figure he feared, Demon Pu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Gu Shaoshang naturally noticed Demon Pu’s furtive behavior and wondered, what could a peak Dragon Transformation Realm demon possibly fear? Could it be the Grand Preceptor?
