Sacrifice You in Memory of Zhang Bowen

As soon as Ye Wujiang and his men arrived at the Martial Arts Association Headquarters,

they immediately sensed over three hundred powerful auras of vitality and blood.

The patriarchs of the four great families couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Gu Yang at the forefront, Ye Wujiang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying,

"Ye Wujiang of the Ye family welcomes the esteemed guests from the Gu Clan."

Gu Yang glanced at Ye Wujiang and said disdainfully,

"To think that the grand President of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association is merely a lowly Martial Venerable."

"I thought you would at least be a Martial Saint."

"Where are the Martial Saints of your Great Xia?"

Ye Wujiang hurriedly replied,

"They were terrified of the Gu Clan's heavenly might and have all fled!"

Hearing that the Martial Saints of Great Xia had fled,

Gu Yang smiled in contempt.

He had long expected such an outcome.

However, he looked at Ye Wujiang curiously and asked,

"The Martial Saints have all fled, so why didn't a lowly Martial Venerable like you run away?"

Ye Wujiang quickly put on a flattering smile.

He chuckled and said,

"I've long admired the great name of the Gu Clan. My Ye family has dreamed of befriending the Gu Clan."

"Upon hearing that the Gu Clan was coming out of the mountains this time, we even wanted to go to Kunlun City to welcome you."

"I didn't expect that you Lord Martial Saints would arrive so quickly."

"If you Lord Martial Saints have any orders, please do not hesitate to tell us."

Gu Yang and the crowd of Gu Clan members behind him all smiled.

They originally thought that since the Great Xia people who entered Kunlun every time the mountain opened were very courageous and hot-blooded,

they would encounter some resistance when taking over Great Xia this time.

They were fully prepared to suppress and kill with martial force,

so as to let the people of the outside world know the gap between them and the Gu Clan.

However, they absolutely did not expect

that this helmsman of Great Xia would be a spineless coward.

Still, this saved them a lot of trouble.

Gu Yang said bluntly,

"From now on, the Gu Clan will have the final say in Great Xia."

"The entire world will be ruled by my Gu Clan."

Although he was prepared for this,

upon hearing Gu Yang's demands,

Ye Wujiang still felt somewhat reluctant in his heart.

He had been the President for less than a year,

and now he had to step down and yield his position.

In the future, he would probably go down in history

as the President with the shortest tenure.

His mind racing, Ye Wujiang quickly adjusted his attitude.

He immediately cheered,

"That's wonderful! Having the Gu Clan in charge of Great Xia is simply a blessing for Great Xia."

"We will definitely do our utmost to assist you."

The helmsmen of the three families behind Ye Wujiang also chimed in with their flattery.

At the same time, they couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.

"Old Ye is indeed no ordinary person."

"No wonder he could become the President, he really has some skills."

"What does it mean to be someone who understands the times? This is it!"

...

The Gu Clan also didn't expect the process of conquering Great Xia to be so smooth.

The over three hundred Martial Saints had no opportunity to make a move at all.

However, they naturally wouldn't believe Ye Wujiang's words.

After all, they all knew that previously, the entire Great Xia had been enemies with Mr. Bowen.

Thinking of Zhang Bowen, Gu Yang quickly remembered something.

"I heard that the Holy Capital of Great Xia has nine great aristocratic families."

"Among them, one is surnamed Zhang!"

"Where are the people of this Zhang family? Have they fled?"

As soon as these words came out,

the member of the Zhang family immediately trembled all over.

His greatest fear had come true.

He was just about to step forward

when Ye Wujiang beat him to it, pointing at the Martial Venerable of the Zhang family and saying,

"The helmsman of the Zhang family is right here."

The old man of the Zhang family hurriedly stepped forward.

For the Gu Clan to mention their Zhang family, it could only be about one thing.

And that was their connection with Zhang Bowen.

It was just that he still hadn't seen Zhang Bowen anywhere.

He kept his posture extremely low at this moment,

knowing that what happened next would likely determine the life or death of his family.

The helmsman of the Zhang family bowed deeply and said,

"This old man, on behalf of the Zhang family, apologizes to the Gu Clan."

"A long time ago, the Zhang family and Zhang Bowen of the Gu Clan had some misunderstandings."

"My Zhang family is deeply apologetic and is willing to pay any price to compensate Mr. Zhang Bowen."

Gu Yang's eyes turned cold.

The expressions of the other Gu Clan members also turned extremely ugly.

Over three hundred years ago, a woman from the Gu Clan violated clan rules and secretly had an affair with an outsider.

She even gave birth to a son, who was none other than Zhang Bowen.

As a result, she foolishly kept her promise and waited for sixty years.

But what she waited for was the other party's descendant.

In the end, not only was she abandoned, but she was also killed by the people of the Zhang family.

The Gu Clan also suffered a disaster because of this,

even losing a young Qilin in the process.

The current Zhang family might not feel much about this matter.

After all, it happened over three hundred years ago.

Generations had lived and died since then.

But for the people of the Gu Clan, who cultivated the Ageless Ever-Spring Art,

it was something many of them had experienced firsthand.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Bowen has already died at the hands of Chen Feng."

"Since you want to compensate Mr. Bowen at any cost,"

"Then use the lives of your entire family to pay tribute to Mr. Bowen's soul in heaven!"

Gu Yang's voice was icy cold, exuding a thick murderous intent.

After speaking, without any hesitation,

he directly attacked.

A scorching Blazing Pure Yang Palm was struck out.

The old man of the Zhang family had just thought to beg for mercy.

Before he could even open his mouth, he was blasted into flying ash by the Blazing Pure Yang Palm.

Before he died, his biggest regret

was acting like an idiot back then and not believing Chen Feng's words.

He had even been dreaming of dividing up the world.

Ye Wujiang and the other two families all shuddered in fear.

Previously, they had felt that these simple-minded Kunlun barbarians were quite easy to talk to.

Only now did they realize

that when they turned hostile, they really killed without hesitation.

At the same time, they were also shocked.

That nightmare of several generations in Great Xia,

the man known as the Bane of Great Xia,

was actually killed by Chen Feng in the end.

After Gu Yang killed the helmsman of the Zhang family,

he turned to look at the other three families and said,

"You should also be members of the nine great families."

"I will give you a chance."

"Wipe out all the remnants of the Zhang family, leaving no one alive."

"If you dare to let even one escape, my Gu Clan will annihilate your three families."

Ye Wujiang hurriedly promised,

"Lord Martial Saint, please rest assured. The enemies of the Gu Clan are the enemies of my Ye family."

"My Ye family will absolutely not let a single enemy escape."

The other two families also hurriedly spoke up to make their guarantees.

After one night,

the Zhang family vanished from the Holy Capital of Great Xia.

The Ye family, the Liu family, and the Li family.

The three families acted with extreme ruthlessness.

They didn't even spare those from their own families who had married into the Zhang family, regardless of age, leaving not a single survivor.

Dozens of Martial Saints from the Gu Clan kept a close watch on Ye Wujiang's every move.

Early the next morning,

the Martial Arts Association issued an announcement.

The President, along with the Vice Presidents, had all been replaced.

The President was naturally replaced by Gu Yang.

The Vice President was a young Martial Venerable from the Gu Clan,

named Gu Changqing.

As for Ye Wujiang, he became the Vice President's assistant.

Just like that, Great Xia silently completed its transition of power.

When countless people saw this announcement,

they still didn't understand what had happened.

Following that, all sorts of explosive news flooded the internet.

"Welcome back to our compatriots from the Kunlun Gu Clan! Lead Great Xia to forge a glorious tomorrow!"

"May the Gu Clan steer Great Xia towards a new chapter and a more successful future!"

"Sincere gratitude to our Gu Clan compatriots for taking over the Martial Arts Association. This is the supreme glory of Great Xia!"

...

The blatant flattery was endless.

The core of its content was just one point:

The Kunlun Gu Clan had come out of the mountains and taken over the Great Xia Martial Arts Association.

All the important echelons of power had been entirely replaced.

As soon as this news came out, the entire internet was shocked.

"The Kunlun Remnants actually came out? And the Martial Arts Association just fell like that?"

"How could this happen? Did they not even put up a fight?"

"How could they fight back? Haven't you heard? The Ancient Clan has over three hundred Martial Saints."

"Everything the Hero of Great Xia said before was true. It is a shame that nobody believed him."

"This whole thing still feels like a dream."

"Back then, the Hero of Great Xia was branded a traitor. Thinking about it now, it is truly heartbreaking."
