Just as the Gu Family Ancestor was about to speak again, Demon Pu made his move.
Demon Pu dared not waste another second, fearing that Gu Qingfeng might appear out of nowhere to stop him. He had to strike first to force Gu Qingfeng into a dilemma.
With a low, fierce growl, Demon Pu uttered, "Nether Domain, Blood Slaughter Realm!"
As soon as the words left his lips, a flood of crimson light erupted from his body, instantly dyeing the heavens and earth in blood-red hues.
In the blink of an eye, the area occupied by the Gu family was engulfed by the Blood Slaughter Realm.
At that moment, every member of the Gu family, including Gu Shaoshang, turned pale with shock. The once vibrant, colorful world around them was instantly replaced by a sea of blood, and an overwhelming stench of blood filled their nostrils, making them nauseous.
Everyone felt as though they had plunged into a vast ocean of blood, with the shadow of death looming over them.
Their so-called defensive formations were effortlessly obliterated by this power, not even lasting a second.
Demon Pu naturally entered the Blood Slaughter Realm as well. With his arrival, the realm seemed to welcome its emperor, as if the entire world was rejoicing.
Demon Pu extended his hand and clenched his fist in the air, targeting everyone in the Gu family.
Instantly!
Every member of the Gu family felt their blood reverse its flow, surging toward their hearts. Their blood vessels bulged violently, and their hearts contracted and expanded uncontrollably, as if gripped by an invisible, unyielding hand.
Among those present, only Gu Shaoshang, at the Dragon Transformation Realm, could barely resist. Everyone else, including grandmasters and grandmasters of the sect, couldn't move an inch.
With every slight movement, their blood flow accelerated, and their hearts tightened further, as if taking a single step would cause them to bleed out on the spot.
Gu Shaoshang was filled with despair. Was this the power of someone at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm? To think that such a terrifying Nether Domain existed! He had hoped to hold out until the Imperial Preceptor arrived, but now he realized that his own strength at the third level of Dragon Transformation was no match for this foe.
In just an instant, the life and death of the entire Gu family had fallen into Demon Pu's hands.
Gu Shaoshang mustered all his strength to suppress the rebellion of his blood and addressed Demon Pu, "Esteemed demon friend, what offense has my Gu family committed against you? Please speak plainly. As the ancestor of the Gu family, I will surely give you a satisfactory answer."
Gu Shaoshang stared at Demon Pu, who was cloaked in black robes, racking his brain but failing to recall any grievance between them. Could it be that some wayward descendant of the family had offended him during their travels?
If that were the case, Gu Shaoshang swore he would kill that person to appease the wrath of this mighty demon.
Now that he had the Gu family's fate in his hands, Demon Pu finally relaxed. A look of madness filled his eyes as he stared intently at the sky, waiting for Gu Qingfeng's arrival.
As for Gu Shaoshang's words, Demon Pu paid no attention. In his eyes, the only thing that mattered now was overcoming the challenge posed by Gu Qingfeng.
Seeing that Demon Pu had no intention of communicating, Gu Shaoshang grew as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. What exactly did this demon want?
The lives of his entire clan hung in the balance, yet Demon Pu neither acted nor spoke.
What was going on?
A moment later, several streaks of light arrived—powerful figures from the capital who had been chasing Demon Pu.
These individuals were all at the initial stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm, serving the emperor and tasked with protecting the capital.
Upon their arrival, they immediately noticed a translucent crimson dome covering the Gu family. The entire Gu family was trapped within, and its members appeared petrified, their veins bulging and faces twisted in agony, unable to move a muscle.
As Dragon Transformation Realm experts, they recognized at once that this crimson dome was no ordinary barrier but a Nether Domain!
It exuded a sense of spatial isolation, as though a small world had suddenly manifested.
Even though they outnumbered Demon Pu, the sight of a peak Dragon Transformation Realm Nether Domain filled them with unease.
Suddenly, one of the Dragon Transformation Realm experts stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want?"
Demon Pu remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on the sky.
The Dragon Transformation Realm experts exchanged glances, puzzled. They couldn't shake the feeling that this demon was waiting for someone.
"Regardless of who you are, this is the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, under the emperor's watch. If you dare harm the Gu family..."
Before the Dragon Transformation Realm expert could finish, Demon Pu, who had been ignoring everyone, finally spoke.
And his words left everyone present utterly stunned.
In a calm yet slightly maniacal voice, Demon Pu said, "Divine One, you have finally arrived. This humble demon has been waiting for you."
Divine One!?
These words struck like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone to their core.
Upon hearing this term, everyone's hearts quaked violently, and their faces filled with disbelief. They began to doubt their ears, wondering if they had misheard.
Or perhaps, "Divine One" was a name rather than its literal meaning?
They exchanged glances, each seeing the same shock reflected in the other's eyes, confirming that they hadn't hallucinated.
Did this mean...?
In an instant, the powerful figures outside the Blood Slaughter Realm and the hostages within the Gu family all turned their gazes in the direction Demon Pu was looking.
And then, everyone froze.
A single thought emerged in everyone's mind:
How could there be such an impossibly handsome man in the world?
His beauty was so extraordinary that it seemed otherworldly, as if he were a divine creation—handsome as a god!
Under the collective gaze of the crowd, a tall, slender figure approached leisurely. No one knew when he had arrived or how long he had been there, for not a trace of his aura could be detected. If not for their eyes, it would have been as if he didn't exist at all.
This figure was none other than Gu Qingfeng, wearing the Phantom Spirit Mask.
Gu Qingfeng walked up to the edge of the Blood Slaughter Realm and stared across the void at the crazed Demon Pu. Then, he uttered words that shocked everyone, including Demon Pu:
"Damn you, Demon Pu! Didn't you say you didn't have a Nether Domain? You lied to me again, you bastard!"

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
