In a hidden location within the Green Wood Domain.
A man clad in black robes, carrying a long sword on his back and wearing a bone-white mask, was reading a secret letter in his hand.
A moment later, he casually crushed the letter with his fingers, and it instantly shattered into dust as if sliced apart by countless tiny blades.
The man turned around, revealing a group of kneeling subordinates before him, each shrouded in demonic energy, their appearances far from human.
"Meng Yan has sent word—Gu Qingfeng possesses the Four Sacred Physiques and slew the young Sword Heavenly Emperor in the same realm. To prevent the news from spreading, the Sword Sect has sealed off their mountain gates.
Pass this information covertly to the Hell Gate. They bear a blood feud with this boy but lack the strength to act alone. Once they learn of this, the entire Green Wood Domain’s sects will rally behind them. This will be the perfect opportunity to test the Sword Sect’s hidden depths," the man said coldly.
At this, a demonic energy-wreathed subordinate spoke up, "Sword Demon Lord, are you planning to use the sects to probe the Sword Sect’s Grand Elder?"
"Precisely. The only one I fear in the Sword Sect is him. Dugu Wei is no threat. Though the Grand Elder still lives, he is already on his last legs—who knows how much of his power remains?
Let the sects exhaust his strength. After this battle, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled.
Then, it will be our turn to act."
"The Sword Demon Lord’s foresight is unparalleled. This subordinate is in awe. I shall carry out your orders immediately."
......
Three days later, the entire Green Wood Domain was in an uproar.
A shocking rumor, its origins unknown, spread like wildfire. At first, no one believed it, but the tale grew more elaborate, with details so vivid it seemed undeniable.
Now, discussions about the news could be heard in every tavern across the domain.
"Hey, have you heard? The Sword Sect has produced a monstrous genius named Gu Qingfeng—he slew a young Heavenly Emperor in the same realm!"
"I heard it ages ago. But come on, how can you believe something so absurd? A Heavenly Emperor! Who in this world could slay one in the same realm? That’s pure fantasy!"
"I didn’t believe it either at first, but too many people are saying it. They claim Gu Qingfeng has the Four Sacred Physiques. If that’s true, then maybe it’s possible."
"Four Sacred Physiques? What did he eat to grow up like that? Impossible!"
"I think it might be true. Have you noticed the Sword Sect hasn’t denied it? And they’ve sealed their mountain gates. If they didn’t have such a genius, why would they act like this?"
Conversations like these were everywhere, and the rumors only grew wilder.
......
Within the Hell Gate.
A man clad in blood-red robes sat upon the throne, surrounded by over a dozen figures exuding formidable auras—each a powerhouse in their own right.
Anyone present would gasp in shock—these were the leaders of the Green Wood Domain’s top factions, second only to the Sword Sect!
Wang Yan, the Hell Gate’s Lord of the Underworld!
Jian Xinghe, the Heavenly Sword Mountain’s Sect Master!
Duan Changsheng, the Unparalleled Mansion’s Lord!
Lei Wanjun, the Thunderbolt Island’s Master!
And more...
"I assume you all have heard the rumors by now," Wang Yan, the Hell Gate’s leader, said coldly.
The others nodded silently.
"I have confirmed the news—Gu Qingfeng of the Sword Sect is a peerless genius. At the Human Yuan Fifth Heaven realm, he slew the young Sword Heavenly Emperor at the peak of Human Yuan. He possesses the Four Sacred Physiques. With such talent, calling him the Cangming Realm’s greatest prodigy would be an understatement.
I’ve gathered you here today to discuss our next move. Back when the Sword Sect flourished, we all lived under their shadow, forced to obey their whims without dignity.
Later, when the Sword Sect fell into turmoil and declined, we seized our chance to rise. But now, if Gu Qingfeng is allowed to live, the Sword Sect will inevitably produce another Emperor in the future. When that happens, there will be no place left for us in the Green Wood Domain. We must act now!"
At this, a burly man suddenly snorted. "Slaying the young Sword Heavenly Emperor? You expect us to believe such nonsense? Or is this just a ploy to avenge your son, the Little King of Hell, by using us as your weapons?"
Unfazed by the accusation, Wang Yan replied calmly, "Master Lei, restrain your temper. The truth of the rumors can be verified at a glance."
With that, he produced a Memory Pearl and channeled divine energy into it. Instantly, an image materialized before the group.
The scene showed the Sword Pagoda erupting in golden light as the artifact spirit’s icy voice echoed:
"Sword Sect’s fourteenth-generation disciple, Gu Qingfeng of the Reverse Scale lineage, inheritor of the Sword Formation Path, has today defeated the Human Yuan Ranking’s top contender, the Sword Heavenly Emperor, within the Sword Pagoda. He meets the criteria for the Heavenly Emperor’s legacy and is hereby designated its successor."
Next came Gu Qingfeng’s emergence, his conversation with Dugu Wei, and the display of his Prison-Dragon Elephant Physique.
Witnessing this, the faction leaders could no longer remain seated. Their faces twisted in shock, and cries of disbelief erupted.
Lei Wanjun of Thunderbolt Island shot to his feet, his tiger-like eyes locked onto the image.
"How can such a genius exist in this world? For those born in his era, wouldn’t they be doomed to live forever in his shadow?"
A heavy silence fell over the group.
As seasoned experts, they could tell the Memory Pearl hadn’t been tampered with—meaning everything they saw was real.
A talent so extraordinary had indeed appeared in the world. If the realm’s prodigies were stars, then Gu Qingfeng was the sun—its rise would render all other lights dim.
To prevent this, the sun must be snuffed out before it could fully ascend.
After a long pause, Duan Changsheng of the Unparalleled Mansion finally spoke. "What do you propose?"
His words were tacit agreement.
The others also turned to Wang Yan, their gazes conveying the same intent.
Wang Yan swept his eyes across them, a sinister smile curling his lips. "Besiege the Sword Sect and force them to hand over Gu Qingfeng."
"On what grounds?" Jian Xinghe of Heavenly Sword Mountain asked coldly.
"Need I remind you all of what Gu Qingfeng did in the Hanging Heaven Secret Realm? We need only exaggerate his actions, spread the word, and paint him as a villain beyond redemption. Then, under the banner of righteousness, we can demand the Sword Sect answer for his crimes!"
"A brilliant plan."
"Agreed."
"So be it."
