Time has changed, and it is beyond redemption.

Xiandu.

Liu Weiwei arrived at the base of the building where the battle had taken place.

Channeling the Heavenly Cripple Kick, she leaped fiercely.

She vaulted straight into the presidential suite on the seventieth floor.

Seeing the devastated scene, she couldn't help but frown.

At the same time.

The manager of the hotel rushed to the room as quickly as possible.

Accompanying him were members of the Heaven Swallowing Club, who managed this territory.

"Damn it! Who dares to cause trouble here?!"

"The guests staying here are VIPs from the Gu clan!"

The group of men cursed and scrambled into the room in a panic.

Each of them held a high-beam flashlight.

The leader was even a Grandmaster-level cultivator.

When the leader saw that it was Liu Weiwei, he immediately bowed respectfully:

"Apologies, we didn't realize Miss Liu was handling business here."

Just as he finished speaking, he spotted the three corpses on the floor.

They didn't care much about the middle-aged woman's body.

But upon seeing the other two bodies, their faces instantly changed.

The leader looked at the lobby manager and asked:

"Are these two the VIPs from the Gu clan?"

The lobby manager, eyes wide with terror, nodded blankly.

When he saw the bodies of Gu Liangyu and Gu Qianxue, his heart skipped a beat.

It felt as if a basin of ice water had suddenly been poured over him.

Chilling him from head to toe.

Members of the Gu clan had actually died in his hotel.

The consequences were far beyond what he could bear.

The hotel manager's legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees.

The few playthings who had originally fled were dragged back in.

The leader asked:

"Who killed the Gu clan members?"

The five terrified individuals pointed at Gu Qianqian.

Liu Weiwei frowned and said:

"She is my junior martial sister."

The leader nodded with an ugly expression.

He then turned to his subordinates and ordered:

"Dispose of all five of them."

"Word of what happened here absolutely cannot leak out, or we're all dead."

The five immediately began wailing and begging for their lives.

Chen Feng couldn't help but frown.

He was feeling rather irritable right now.

He had just reunited with his beloved disciple.

Only to run into this scene.

His once-innocent disciple had killed two scumbags on the spot.

To Chen Feng, this wasn't a big deal.

If scumbags died, they died.

The bleeding heart he used to be had long died in the White Tiger Abyss.

Chen Feng could no longer overflow with misplaced sympathy.

However, these two scumbags were actually Qianqian's own clansmen.

He remembered the Gu clan being a highly united group.

And their clan rules strictly forbade killing one's own.

Of course.

The most troublesome issue at hand.

Was that Gu clan members had died in Xiandu.

Once the Gu clan found out about this, they definitely wouldn't let it go.

The entire city of Xiandu would likely face disaster as a result.

Gu Qianqian wiped away her tears.

She said indifferently:

"They were my younger brother and older female cousin."

At these words.

Both Chen Feng and Liu Weiwei were momentarily stunned.

But no matter how many questions they had in their hearts, they ultimately asked nothing.

"Let's head back first!"

Chen Feng could tell that Qianqian had changed drastically.

He knew that the incident years ago, when the flood dragon transformed into a true dragon.

Had dealt a massive blow to this innocent disciple.

Over these nine years, he didn't know what she had been through.

To cause such a drastic shift in her temperament today.

Inside the Su Group.

Su Yan, who was personally preparing dinner for Shuangshuang, suddenly received an urgent report from her subordinate.

Hearing that two Gu clan members had died, and that they were killed by Qianqian.

She couldn't help but smile.

By the time Chen Feng and the others returned.

Dinner was already prepared.

Su Yan said with a chuckle:

"Everyone is finally here, we can start eating."

Liu Weiwei supported Qianqian as they took their seats.

Chen Feng noticed that there was an unfamiliar young man present tonight.

Seeing Chen Feng looking at him, the young man said aggressively:

"What are you looking at, punk!"

"Never seen a handsome guy before?!"

Chen Feng didn't expect this person to be so eccentric.

Su Yan introduced him with a beaming smile:

"This is Grandpa Mi Chuan."

Mi Chuan!

Grandpa?

Chen Feng frowned.

He remembered this name; among the Martial Sages who assisted Zhang Bowen in attacking Great Xia back then, there was one with this exact name.

But he remembered the man being an old geezer.

How could the person in front of him be so young?

So he couldn't help but take another look.

Mi Chuan said in annoyance:

"Are you done, kid?!"

"I'm not interested in men!"

Chen Feng asked directly:

"I remember that among the Martial Sages who helped Zhang Bowen attack Great Xia back then, there was one named Mi Chuan, so I'm a bit curious."

Mi Chuan lifted his chin and said arrogantly:

"That's right!"

"I am the very Martial Sage who played a crucial role in that battle."

Chen Feng didn't expect it to actually be that Mi Chuan.

But regarding how the man had turned into a youth.

A theory suddenly formed in his mind.

"Could it be the Gu clan's Ageless Everspring Art?"

Chen Feng didn't ask any more questions.

He still didn't fully understand the current situation.

Over the past two days, he had been looking up information online.

To see what major events had exactly occurred over the years.

And the matter that caught his attention the most.

Was the incident in the ruins of Linhai City, where someone had sacrificed children to a flood dragon.

He hadn't expected.

That human morality in Great Xia had decayed to such an extent today.

To think that someone was capable of committing such a heartless and unconscionable act.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

The group ate while idly watching a children's program on TV.

Only Shuangshuang and Mi Chuan ate with complete peace of mind, free from any worries.

Shuangshuang would occasionally point at the characters on the show and chat with Liu Weiwei beside her.

Suddenly, the program was interrupted by a breaking news broadcast of a Gu clan press conference.

After seeing the news, everyone except Su Yan and Shuangshuang was quite surprised.

Chen Feng asked in astonishment:

"How could the Gu clan have changed so much?"

The Gu clan in his memory was extremely vindictive.

How could they suddenly announce that they wouldn't hold anyone accountable?

Su Yan smiled:

"Only the Gu clan knows their own troubles best."

"I only know that their young people all yearn for the lifestyle here in Xiandu."

At the mention of Xiandu, Chen Feng frowned.

From the bottom of his heart, he disliked this extravagant and debauched city.

Over the past few days, he had already uncovered Su Yan's tragic background.

And he knew that this city of Xiandu used to be Su Yan's home.

He had even looked up online what Xiandu was like a long time ago, during the era of Su Yuanshan.

Although there were many industries not accepted by the public back then.

It was never as grotesquely opulent as it was now.

When Chen Feng first found out, he had tried to persuade Su Yan.

But clearly, they couldn't see eye to eye.

Their already delicate relationship became even more subtle.

Chen Feng now knew that Su Yan was the leader of the Heaven Swallowing Club.

And he knew her life story.

However, he didn't blame Su Yan for deceiving him.

He only hoped she could let go of her hatred and live a good life with Shuangshuang.

But Su Yan's response at the time surfaced in Chen Feng's mind once again.

"The reason you can tell me to let go of my hatred, Little Master, is because you have never been so terrified you wet your pants, and you have never watched your parents die right in front of your eyes."

"If you had, you would know."

"Even after more than thirty years pass, you would still be able to recall every single detail of that moment."

Chen Feng clearly remembered that when Su Yan said those words.

Her tone was calm, neither angry nor sad.

It was as if she were telling him a happy story.

A smile lingered on her face the entire time.

Yet, Chen Feng had been left completely speechless.

He knew that the calmer Su Yan appeared on the surface, the harder it was for her to let go of her past hatred. Even the fact that the Nine Great Families had been reduced to such a miserable state today did nothing to diminish her resentment.
