Sword Maniac was so frightened that he couldn’t help but take two steps back and hurriedly explained, "No, Sect Master, you’ve misunderstood. Second Uncle Gu isn’t dead."
"Not dead? Then was he captured as a hostage?" Dugu Wei’s face darkened.
Sword Maniac: "..."
Can’t you wish Second Uncle Gu something good?
"That’s not it either. Second Uncle Gu is fine—not just fine, but he even single-handedly wiped out the Netherworld Sect!" Sword Maniac spoke rapidly, afraid that if he slowed down even a little, Dugu Wei would charge out and fight Wang Yan and the others to the death.
Dugu Wei fell into silence, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Sword Maniac, making the latter’s hair stand on end.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Someone! Take Sword Maniac away for a mental examination. He’s likely under the influence of demonic sorcery."
Sword Maniac’s face instantly paled. Seeing the situation turn sour, the others also rushed forward, hastily explaining in a clamor of voices.
After the time it took to burn an incense stick, they finally managed to clarify the situation.
Dugu Wei and the seven peak masters fell into silence once more.
A long time passed.
"So, what you’re saying is that the Netherworld Old Monster broke the Seven Swords Immortal-Slaying Formation with the Ten Billion Soul Banner, and then Second Uncle Gu took action, annihilating the entire Netherworld Sect single-handedly? Not only that, but he also took control of the Soul Banner and stuffed all the Netherworld Sect disciples into it as ‘brothers’?" Dugu Wei said gravely.
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" The six juniors nodded vigorously.
Dugu Wei studied their earnest expressions, then after a moment of contemplation, declared, "Someone! Take all six of them away for a mental examination."
The six juniors’ faces twisted in horror as they desperately tried to explain, but no one believed them.
After all, the story was simply too fantastical.
What kind of joke was this? The seven of them had lost even with the Seven Swords Immortal-Slaying Formation, yet Gu Qingfeng alone had wiped out the entire Netherworld Sect?
And he defeated the Netherworld Old Monster, who wielded the Ten Billion Soul Banner?
That was the Ten Billion Soul Banner—a treasure comparable to a Heavenly Monarch’s power! What was Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation level? Just the Earthly Origin Realm!
The fact that an early-stage Earthly Origin cultivator could instantly kill Sword Heavenly Emperor, a peak Earthly Origin expert, was already shocking enough. Now, he was supposedly slaying a Five Tribulation Heavenly Being?
A Five Tribulation Heavenly Being wielding the Ten Billion Soul Banner, no less! Even Dugu Wei himself couldn’t achieve such an instant kill—it would take some effort. And Gu Qingfeng could do it?
This was like telling a ghost story inside another ghost story!
If these six weren’t possessed by vengeful spirits, what else could it be?
However, the six juniors were soon brought back, their heads hanging low, looking utterly drained.
Clearly, the mental examination had taken its toll.
"Sect Master, there are no signs of vengeful spirit possession in these six," the elder in charge of the examination reported, his face filled with shock.
Dugu Wei fell completely silent. After a moment, he ordered, "Someone! Take the examining elder away for an examination as well."
The elder’s face instantly turned ashen before he was dragged away.
Some time later.
"Sect Master, I’ve checked three times. The examining elder truly shows no signs of possession."
Dugu Wei stared at the speaker for a long time, until the man was drenched in sweat, before finally relenting.
No signs of possession meant that the six juniors were telling the truth!
Gu Qingfeng really had annihilated the Netherworld Sect alone!
"What kind of monster is our Sword Sect’s Imperial Son?" Dugu Wei finally accepted the truth, his expression shifting.
"You six, recount the events in detail once more."
The six juniors had no choice but to repeat the story meticulously.
After listening, Dugu Wei’s expression turned utterly bizarre. "Second Uncle Gu said he would return only after exterminating all the major sects?"
"Yes, that’s what Second Uncle Gu said."
......
Peerless Mansion.
Nestled atop an ethereal immortal mountain, the Peerless Mansion was a place of serenity—lush greenery, pavilions and towers dotting the landscape, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls, cranes dancing in the air, all shrouded in mist and bathed in rainbow light, like a paradise on earth.
Yet on this day, the tranquil Peerless Mansion welcomed an unwelcome guest.
Suddenly, a chilling wind rose, accompanied by the wails of ghosts. Dark clouds gathered overhead, and the air pressure plummeted.
The abrupt change alarmed the disciples of Peerless Mansion, who looked up to see an enormous bone-and-blood ship slowly approaching from the horizon.
Surrounding the ship were countless terrifying wraiths, their resentment coalescing into a vast, sun-obscuring cloud.
"It’s the Netherworld Sect’s Bone-Blood Ship!"
"What’s going on? Didn’t the Netherworld Sect join forces with us to attack the Sword Sect? Why are they here now?"
"Are you all blind? Look at the wraiths on that ship—there must be at least a million of them! This doesn’t bode well."
At that moment, several streaks of light shot out from the depths of Peerless Mansion, intercepting the Bone-Blood Ship. Leading them was a Five Tribulation Heavenly Being—a white-robed elder with a youthful face, wielding a horsetail whisk, exuding an air of immortal grace.
Clearly, while the major sects had mobilized their forces to attack the Sword Sect, they had all left behind some power to guard their own territories, wary of potential threats.
"May I ask which esteemed elder of the Netherworld Sect has come to visit our Peerless Mansion, and for what purpose?" the white-robed elder asked courteously.
"Kekeke... I’ve long heard that Peerless Mansion’s scenery is unparalleled in the world. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation—a veritable paradise. What a pity that after today, such a wonder will cease to exist."
A sinister laugh echoed from the Bone-Blood Ship, causing the five Heavenly Beings of Peerless Mansion to pale with anger.
"Who are you? Does the Netherworld Sect intend to wage war against Peerless Mansion?"
Tap, tap, tap...
Light footsteps sounded as a strikingly handsome young man slowly emerged from the ship, his demeanor transcendent, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
Yet, surrounded by wraiths and standing atop the Bone-Blood Ship, he seemed less like an immortal and more like a demonic god.
The Heavenly Beings of Peerless Mansion froze at the sight of him. "The Sword Sect’s Imperial Son, Gu Qingfeng! How is it you?!"
"Hmph. A few ants dare to address this sovereign by name? You seek death!"
Without another word, Gu Qingfeng struck.
"Infinite Law Domain! Eight Directions Seal! Heaven and Earth Reversed! Nine Dragons Shackle the Heavens!!"
Boom!
The world darkened as eight colossal pillars of light erupted from the earth, their radiance intertwining to form an impenetrable barrier.
The very fabric of space twisted, rendering teleportation impossible.
Nine ethereal dragon roars echoed as invisible dragons coiled in the sky, their divine might sealing the entire Peerless Mansion in an inescapable prison!
Faced with such overwhelming sealing formations, the people of Peerless Mansion panicked.
"Gu Qingfeng, what do you think you’re doing? A mere Heaven Origin Divine Pill cultivator dares to cause trouble in our Peerless Mansion?" one of the five Heavenly Beings, a woman, snapped.
Gu Qingfeng hadn’t concealed his cultivation, so she easily saw through it.
"Oh?" Gu Qingfeng turned his head and his eyes instantly lit up, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the only woman among the five Heavenly Beings.
This woman possessed unparalleled beauty, an extraordinary aura, and a captivating figure. Even someone as worldly as him couldn't help but feel a flicker of desire.
Her charm was on par with that of Nangong Xue and Ling Fei'er.
"Who are you?"
The woman snorted coldly. "Duan Wushuang!"
Gu Qingfeng greedily eyed Duan Wushuang's alluring form and said, "So you're Duan Changsheng's daughter—the peerless Holy Maiden, Duan Wushuang. I’ve heard that whether it’s your beauty or your talent, you truly live up to your name as 'peerless.' Seeing you today, the rumors do not disappoint."
At this, Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath, his face twisting into an intoxicated expression. "Such a potent Frostblood lineage! Truly worthy of the legendary Glacial Moon Divine Body—you are the perfect dual cultivation vessel for this venerable one!
Keh keh keh..."
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
