"Patriarch, if we do not eliminate this person, he will become a great calamity."
"A Martial Saint who can survive under Mr. Bowan is no simple figure."
"If we act, we might provoke wariness from others again."
"After all, in Xiandu, there is still Su Yan, and there is still Mi Chuan in hiding."
...
Gu Yang looked at the lively scene in the arena, listening to the cheers and roars.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke gravely:
"Have the Liu family keep an eye on them first. We must not alert the enemy for now. We will act after the tournament."
"Then dispatch fifty Martial Saints at once to resolve the matter with the utmost speed."
"Try to act at night to minimize the impact."
"Then have those two families help us spread some false information."
...
Hearing Gu Yang's decision,
the members of the Gu clan immediately nodded in praise:
"The Patriarch is wise. This strategy is excellent."
"When the time comes, with fifty Martial Saints striking together, even if both Martial Saints are present, they can be annihilated in one blow."
"A dark and windy night, a swift and decisive battle."
"Best to silence all outsiders in the vicinity to prevent any unfavorable rumors from spreading."
...
In Gu Yang's view, as long as that Martial Saint did not flee in advance, he absolutely could not escape the Gu clan's grasp.
Of course, it would be best if both Martial Saints were there.
To settle everything in one go.
An open and blatant capture is certainly not feasible; only a covert assassination will do.
The biggest trouble is that battles between Martial Saints create too much commotion.
His idea was for fifty Martial Saints to strike together, ending the fight with a single move.
To end everything in an instant, thereby minimizing the impact.
...
Elsewhere.
As soon as Gu Biao arrived in Xiandu, he unabashedly released his aura of blood and energy.
Sensing that formidable, soaring aura,
Su Yan walked out of the Su Corporation with a smile.
They stopped only when about ten meters apart.
Gu Biao looked down at Su Yan and demanded,
"Where are my people from the Gu clan?"
Su Yan said with a smile,
"I only have two corpses."
Gu Biao's eyes narrowed, his entire body's blood and energy instantly surging.
"You dare to kill even people of the Gu clan?"
Without another word, he threw a punch straight at Su Yan.
Su Yan dodged swiftly while simultaneously employing the Star-Sucking Technique.
With a pull and a push, she disrupted Gu Biao's assault.
The North Star Divine Art, having reached the state of Harmony Between Man and Nature, also made its move at this moment.
As the domain of the North Star Divine Art unfolded,
a giant swimming fish appeared beneath Su Yan's feet, and a spreading roc appeared above her head.
The two martial shadows rotated in opposite directions.
A soul-piercing suction force caused Gu Biao's blood and energy to drain rapidly.
No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, he could only watch helplessly as his blood and energy continuously overflowed from his body, converging toward Su Yan.
He said in terror,
"What realm is this? How can the Star-Sucking Technique be so powerful?"
Many in the Gu clan knew the Star-Sucking Technique, and some had even comprehended this martial art to the Harmony Between Man and Nature realm.
Gu Biao had naturally seen how powerful the Star-Sucking Technique at that realm could be.
But it was completely different from what Su Yan was displaying.
Su Yan gave a slight smile and withdrew her attack.
However, by now, Gu Biao had already lost over half of his blood and energy.
Had Su Yan withdrawn her hand a moment later,
Gu Biao would have immediately fallen from the Martial Saint realm to the Martial Venerate realm.
The slap had been delivered.
Su Yan immediately spoke amiably,
"I do not wish to make an enemy of the Gu clan, but I am not afraid of the Gu clan either."
"At worst, I can hide like the other Martial Saints."
"But when that time comes, the Gu clan had better keep a close watch on its own clansmen."
Gu Biao sneered,
"You don't dare kill me, yet you want to threaten me."
"You can run, but the entire city of Xiandu cannot escape."
"Dare to kill a member of the Gu clan, and be prepared for the Gu clan to massacre the city!"
Su Yan covered her mouth with a light chuckle.
"First of all, the Gu clansmen were not killed by me, but by your own people."
"As for massacring Xiandu, you are welcome to try anytime."
"As long as I live, anywhere under heaven can be Xiandu."
Gu Biao frowned deeply.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Moreover, he realized that his threat held no threat at all.
But what concerned him most was Su Yan's claim that the dead Gu clansmen were killed by their own people.
Could it be that his two sons had killed those two useless grandchildren?
He quickly dismissed this absurd thought.
A member of the Gu clan would not violate the clan rules.
Just then, several people walked out of the Su Corporation.
They were also pushing two crystal coffins toward Su Yan.
"They were killed by Gu Qianqian. I hope the Gu clan does not wrong an innocent person."
Su Yan pointed at the two slowly approaching crystal coffins.
When he saw the bodies inside the two coffins,
Gu Biao's face instantly turned grim.
His granddaughter and grandson were actually dead just like that.
And the other party claimed it was Gu Qianqian who killed them.
Although Gu Qianqian had left the clan for nearly ten years,
he did not believe Qianqian would kill her own younger brother and cousin-sister.
Moreover, he understood Qianqian's character.
As a pure and kind-hearted Qilin Maiden, how could she do such a thing?
How could Gu Biao accept this?
He was convinced it was Su Yan framing Qianqian to evade responsibility.
But there was no use saying anything now.
He was no match for Su Yan.
Everything would have to wait until he returned to the clan to discuss how to take revenge on Su Yan.
However, Gu Biao soon remembered something else.
Where were his two sons?
So he asked,
"What happened to the two Gu clansmen who came later!"
Su Yan said with a serious expression,
"They went after the murderer, but they probably won't catch up."
"The murderer has a green crane by her side. Not only is it powerful, but it also flies very fast."
A spirit crane?
Gu Biao thought to himself,
"Could it really be Qianqian and the spirit crane who killed Liangyu and Qianxue?"
At that moment,
Gu Biao's phone rang.
Looking at it, he saw it was Gu Xiuqin calling.
Gu Biao looked again at the corpses of his grandson and granddaughter, unsure for a moment how to tell his wife that their grandchildren were dead.
Answering the call, before Gu Biao could speak,
he heard weeping from the other end:
"Today, Qianqian came to Shengdu riding the spirit crane."
Hearing Qianqian's name, Gu Biao was startled.
He thought Qianqian had already returned to the Gu clan, so how could she kill Gu clansmen?
Su Yan's lie would be exposed.
But his wife's next words instantly made Gu Biao's expression turn extremely ugly.
"Qianqian... she said she killed Liangyu and Qianxue."
"Have you found Liangyu and Qianxue?"
"Are they really in trouble or not?"
"Is Qianqian talking nonsense? How could she possibly kill her own brother and cousin-sister?"
In his agitation, Gu Biao crushed the phone on the spot.
Trembling slightly from overwhelming fury,
He never could have imagined
that it was actually true.
His little granddaughter had actually killed her own brother and cousin-sister.
This was no longer just a matter of violating clan rules.
It was a transgression against human ethics!
Gu Biao forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart.
He directly hoisted the two crystal coffins onto his shoulders and left without looking back.
He paid no further attention to Su Yan.
Nor did he say another word.
At this moment, all he knew was that his own lineage was about to be cut off.

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
