Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 160: Arrival

"Sect Master Gu’s kindness is appreciated, but I, Gu Qingfeng, will not shrink from this battle. I’d like to see for myself just how strong these so-called masters of the Transformation Realm really are!"

Gu Qingfeng replied with a faint smile, exuding a powerful confidence as he spoke.

Seeing this,

Gu Yun slightly shook his head, unsure of how to persuade him further.

It was only now

that he suddenly understood.

For a warrior at Gu Qingfeng’s level, retreating without a fight did not align with his principles.

With this thought,

Gu Yun sighed, "Since Mr. Gu is so determined, I won’t say more. I will stay in Guangyang Prefecture for some time. If Mr. Gu needs anything, I certainly won’t refuse to help!"

He didn’t want Gu Qingfeng to fight Gu Yutian, given the great unpredictability of such a confrontation.

But if Gu Qingfeng was insistent, there was no stopping him.

Forcibly intervening

might just spoil relations between them.

Thus,

Gu Yun naturally knew better than to overstep his bounds.

After speaking, Gu Yun did not linger in the Prince Mansion and took his leave right away.

Gu Yang instructed his people to escort Gu Yun out.

Once the latter had left, Gu Yang asked, "Father, how much of what the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect said do you think is true, and how much is false?"

"Truth or falsehood is irrelevant; in the face of absolute power, all schemes are useless. However, you should indeed investigate the Divine Martial Sect in detail, particularly that Martial Ancestor. If what Gu Yun said is true, then this Martial Ancestor, who has broken through the Great Grandmaster’s shackles, must hold significant secrets!" Gu Qingfeng said.

For thousands of years, no one in the world had broken through the limits of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

It was clear

that breaking through the barriers of a Great Grandmaster was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

If the Martial Ancestor managed to break through, it was impossible that there weren’t secrets involved.

"I’ll have someone look into it right away!"

Gu Yang nodded.

With the influence he held in his hands now, investigating certain matters was quite feasible.

"The Tianyang Sword Sect should also be arriving soon; prepare yourself. Once Gu Yutian falls, it will be our opportunity to send troops to other prefectures and take control of Taishan County," Gu Qingfeng admonished the man before him.

Gu Yang nodded upon hearing this.

Compared to the rest of the world, Guangyang Prefecture was simply too small.

The current situation did not allow Gu Yang to proceed step by step as usual.

Otherwise,

under normal circumstances,

Gu Yang should have used the foundation of Guangyang Prefecture to quietly build up some strength, then gradually aim for Taishan County, and later set sights on dominating Qingyun State.

But the problem was,

now all the heroes were vying for supremacy in the central state.

No one could ensure when the war in the central state would end.

Once it concluded, it would signify the rise of a new emperor, and a new court would replace the Taixuan Dynasty as the ruler of the Nine States.

At that time,

if Gu Yang possessed only the power of a single prefecture, trying to contend with such forces would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Therefore,

Gu Yang had to seize Taishan County and even the entire Qingyun State in the shortest possible time to stand a chance in the struggle against other powers.

Even if the worst scenario unfolded, he wouldn’t be utterly powerless to fight back.

While Gu Yang began his preparations, Gu Qingfeng also secluded himself for intensive training, gradually returning his state to its prime.

Although Gu Qingfeng looked down upon the Tianyang Sword Sect and didn’t believe that Gu Yutian could be his match, the importance of this battle meant that he had to make absolute preparations.

——

"Execute Jiang Shidao!"

"This man’s strength is indeed formidable!"

Within the transportation of the Tianyang Sword Sect, Sect Master Gu sat upright, listening to the reports from his subordinates. With his eerie face, his expression was cold and indifferent, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

Gong Lei spoke in a low voice, "Sect Master, it is said that Jiang Shidao was only half a step away from the Transformation Realm. Gu Qingfeng managed to kill him with a strike from afar, proving that his strength is extraordinary.

We must be cautious if we truly come to blows in this battle."

"Being half a step into the Transformation Realm is always just half a step; without taking that critical stride, one is still far from the true Transformation Realm.

Gu Qingfeng managing to execute him with a single strike might seem like formidable strength, but in my eyes, it’s hardly worth mentioning.

However, such a Martial Arts Grandmaster has indeed given me a pleasant surprise.

Initially, after consuming him, I only had a thirty percent chance of breaking through, but now, there’s at least a fifty percent certainty!"

As Gu Yutian said this, a bloodthirsty light gleamed in his eyes.

Afterwards,

he closed his eyes, no longer speaking, as the aura emanating from his body became increasingly eerie, causing Gong Lei to dare not speak further.

...

Half a day later,

the convoy of the Tianyang Sword Sect had entered Guangyang Prefecture, with the vast cityscape coming into view.

At that moment,

within the city, powerful figures from various factions seemed to sense something simultaneously, their gazes shocked as they looked towards the outskirts.

"This aura... Could it be that he has arrived!"

"Gu Yutian!!"

Immediately,

these powerhouses grew restless, leaving their residences one after the other, heading towards the outer city.

Inside a particular chamber, Gu Yun also sensed something. When he arrived on top of the city wall, he looked in the direction of the Tianyang Sword Sect’s advance, where inside the conveyance, one person sat upright.

The latter seemed to sense something as well, opening his blood-red eyes and locking gazes with Gu Yun.

"So it’s you!"

A bizarre smile emerged at the corner of Gu Yutian’s mouth, his blood-red eyes displaying a desire to kill, as if a hunter had spotted an enticing prey.

Sect Master Gu Yun of the Divine Martial Sect!

Gu Yutian was naturally familiar with him.

What he hadn’t expected was to see him here.

However,

Gu Yutian saw this as a fortuitous turn of events.

After all, Gu Yun’s strength was not weak; if Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help him break through, then consuming Gu Yun afterward would increase the chances of a breakthrough significantly.

On the other side,

as Gu Yun met Gu Yutian’s blood-red eyes, his heart raced wildly, a strong sense of danger flooding his mind, tempting him with the impulse to turn and flee.

"Gu Yutian... His strength is truly unfathomable!"

Gu Yun was filled with trepidation.

Even without clashing, he understood that his own strength was worlds apart from Gu Yutian’s.

Especially after seeing those blood-colored eyes, Gu Yun finally understood why the other party was so eager to act.

It was because it was a sign that the Evil Spirit within was about to awaken.

"The Evil Spirit will soon awaken. If this battle does not lead to Gu Yutian’s breakthrough, then the Evil Spirit within him will fully awaken, and Guangyang Prefecture will face a new and terrifying Disaster Level Evil Spirit!"

"Such an Evil Spirit, if not suppressed, is also a huge trouble!"

Gu Yun’s expression changed uncertainly, but the resurrection of the Evil Spirit was a matter for later. Right now, it depended on whether Gu Qingfeng could truly defeat Gu Yutian.

If he could win, that would be ideal.

But if he were to fail, then all would be mere speculation.
