Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Leave the City, Just Follow and Don’t Take Action!

“Young Master Gu’s considerations are indeed thorough!”

“Since that’s the case, shall we head over to the city walls now?” Everyone exchanged glances, and for a moment actually became somewhat excited.

This was no mere drudgery, nor was there any danger involved.

Seeing that everyone had fully grasped his intent, Gu Changge waved his hand grandly, “Let’s go, I will join my clan brothers in this, as I also wish to witness the demon beasts of the No Master Land.”

Before he even spoke, Gu Qianjun had already brought over two third-grade Spirit Steeds, leading them by their beast rings.

On the way to the city gate, Wang Yue couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Did you choose the wrong life to be reborn into? With your cunning mind, you should have been born into the Northern Domain Royal Family, you might even be the Crown Prince by now.”

“What are you muttering?” Gu Changge slowed his pace a bit and asked with a smile.

“I said, ‘Lord Husband is truly impressive.'”

Meeting his gaze, Wang Yue praised him with a sweet tone and a smile.

“Though it’s true that fists are the ultimate argument, it doesn’t mean that with fists you can throw away your brains,” Gu Changge said with a leisurely smile upon hearing her words.

…

“Suddenly, it feels like… kneeling for just one day doesn’t seem like much.”

The figure kneeling in the corner at the entrance to the Gu Family residence felt a surge of fear.

He had just overheard all of Gu Changge’s plans in full detail.

And the other party didn’t care at all if he would speak out. Even if he did, so what?

It wasn’t a scheme, but an open plot!

For Yayun and Zhu Qin, who were secretly scheming to exclude Liu Qingqing, letting them not even get their hands on an inner core, what would they do then?

Even if the two combined all the inner cores they obtained, it wouldn’t be worth as much as an unobstructed Liu Qingqing.

If they fought hard, he wasn’t scared, if they were sneaky… he could even strangle them openly.

The Heavenly Cold Sect disciple from the Ruins Realm suddenly felt bewildered.

Weren’t they all saying that Junior Sister Liu’s husband was just a wastrel from the Gu Family? Yet what he was witnessing was completely different…

How was this a wastrel? Even not considering strength, just the tactics alone were terrifying.

At this moment, he harbored no hatred in his heart; towards this Young Master of the Gu Family, there was only fear.

Breaking two legs, provided there was no special method used, was not difficult to recover from. Even without elixirs, with his cultivation at the Ruins Realm’s level, he could mend them himself and recover slowly with rest.

But now…

He had originally stopped the bleeding with spiritual energy, but after hearing Young Master Gu’s plans, he purposely released the spiritual energy wrapped around his legs, deciding it was better to endure the pain than to possibly displease the lord and be disciplined again.

…

When the Gu Family party arrived at the city gate facing the No Master Land. @@novelbin@@

Gu Changge looked up and found that this gate was completely different from the one they had entered from the other side.

That one was just an ordinary gate, with just higher and thicker walls and blessed with a defensive array.

But this side, the walls were dyed brown with blood, whether it belonged to demon beasts or the Human Clan was unknown, but there was certainly a lot…

Just on the massive city gate alone, there were nine defensive arrays; as he wasn’t well-versed in arrays, he couldn’t discern their grade.

Above the walls, apart from the defensive arrays, there were also many small attack arrays, ready to be activated by spirit stones at any moment.

Fortunately, the Demon Clan wasn’t in an uprising at the moment. Standing on the city walls and looking out, there was no sign of beast trails.

Fifty li outside of Duanbei City, even the trees had been cut down to prevent sudden attacks by the Demon Clan.

“Young Master Gu,” just as he was contemplating how to find Qingqing and the person she had arranged, a figure came approaching and bowed slightly.

This person had reached the late stage of the Reach Profound Realm, but in Duanbei City, that was just an average power level.

His actions today at the Heavenly Cold Sect entrance had attracted the attention of many disciples, and although he didn’t remember this person, this person clearly remembered him.

“How may I address you, my brother?” As the other party was polite, Gu Changge also bowed slightly and didn’t act overly proud.

“I dare not presume. My name is Li Jiu. I am entrusted by Senior Sister and wish to know what Young Master Gu requires of me?”

Li Jiu waved his hands frantically, for he had witnessed the methods of Young Master Gu.

Especially now, behind him, there stood no fewer than twenty Gu Family disciples, with the lowest among them in the Reach Profound Realm, and most of them had even reached the Ruins Realm!

Not to mention one of them was the person who had broken someone’s legs and dragged them away outside the Heavenly Cold Sect residence that day…

“There’s nothing much, I just want Brother Li to help me recognize some people.”

“Take a look at the names on this list, Brother Li. How many do you recognize?”

Saying that, he handed over the list he had in his hand.

Li Jiu glanced it over briefly before replying, “I recognize most of the senior brothers and sisters listed here, but there are four names I’ve never seen before.”

Having said that, he handed the list back.

From that list, he saw that those senior brothers and sisters all belonged to the faction supporting Yayun and Zhu Qin.

“Only four you don’t recognize?”

“That’s enough. Next, I’ll need Brother Li to help me keep watch here.”

“If you see anyone from the list leaving the city, give me a signal.”

Gu Changge didn’t take the list back, but instead, he smiled lightly and clasped his hands in thanks.

Hearing this made him gulp with anxiety!

To orchestrate such a large operation, it couldn’t be that he planned to keep all those seniors trapped in the city, could it?

If they were all stopped, Senior Sister Liu’s promotion was as good as certain, but if they sought help from the elders, the elders would have to intervene.

“Thank you for your efforts.”

Seeing that Li Jiu had more to say but hesitated, Gu Changge couldn’t be bothered to explain and took out ten high-grade spirit stones from his space ring and placed them on top of the list.

These spirit stones were a reward from the old master after dealing with Wang Yu.

Over a thousand high-grade spirit stones and even five top-grade ones, but he hadn’t used them for a long time.

“The task Senior Sister has entrusted to me, I will certainly not refuse, but these spirit stones…”

Li Jiu tried to decline, but then he saw Gu Changge leap directly from the city wall.

Wang Yue saw this and quickly followed. Gu Qianjun was even faster, blowing a whistle as he caught up to call over the two spirit steeds.

Ensuring that the Young Master and his wife were safely caught by the spirit steeds before they hit the ground.

Gu Changge, although unable to sense the presence of the elders of the Gu Family, knew that a senior was surely protecting him, so he let the spirited steed run at full speed, dashing towards the No Master Forest.

Those Gu Family disciples left on the city wall weren’t in a hurry, just waiting for those people to show up!

…

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Cold Sect’s base.

Yayun and Zhu Qin had been worried all day.

Especially after Liu Qingqing went to the Gu Family, they feared even more that the Gu Family would help her hunt demon beasts.

But they had just seen Liu Qingqing return as if she intended to continue hunting demon beasts herself.

This finally put their minds slightly at ease.

“It seems her husband isn’t planning to do too much for her.”

Relieved in her heart, Zhu Qin no longer wanted to delay. Coincidentally, two Reach Profound Realm senior brothers came looking for her, so she immediately headed out of the city!

As they passed through the city gate, Zhu Qin noticed those Gu Family disciples on the city wall staring at her, wondering if they intended to stop her…

Clearly, she was overthinking it.

However, after leaving the city, three Reach Profound Realm Gu Family disciples silently followed them from behind.

“What are they doing?”

“Should we stop and ask them…?”

One couldn’t help frowning and said.

“Don’t worry, ever since the last incident, there has always been an elder or at least three deacons secretly guarding whenever Junior Sister leaves the city.”

“If they truly intend to harm Junior Sister… would the elders just stand by and watch?” Another decisively shook his head.

“That’s true, I doubt they would dare to do anything.”

The three followers exchanged glances, spotting the ridiculing look in each other’s eyes. How could these people even dream of competing with the Young Master?

There was no need for a direct confrontation; even if the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders came, they could hold their own.

“I always feel… something isn’t quite right.”

Zhu Qin frowned slightly, uncomfortable with the three Reach Profound Realm disciples following her, but thinking of the elders protecting her in secret, she let it go.
