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

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: No Need to Ask, Just Kill Them All! (Seeking Followers, Monthly Pass)

Upon hearing these words, Gu Kuang flicked the flying sword on the ground.

With a gesture of his hand, the flying sword streaked through the sky as two arcs of light.

It ferociously shot towards a concealed figure several miles away!

“Shh—”

With two piercing sounds, the man from the Ruins Realm who had been stealthily trying to leave with a repressed aura, had his knees penetrated by the two flying swords, pinning him mercilessly to the ground!

With his Heavenly Gate Realm divine sense, the closest distance was to this fellow.

And his sneaky appearance clearly showed a guilty conscience!

When Liu Qingqing arrived overhead with the old man, she frowned and muttered, “Senior Brother Wang?”

“Ah!”

“Junior Sister, Junior Sister, save me!”

The man, feigning innocence and seeing Liu Qingqing as if she were his savior, cried out for help.

However, Liu Qingqing frowned and remained silent.

She might be simple-minded, but she was no fool—just now, the flying swords had cut off her own escape, and here was this Senior Brother Wang from the Ruins Realm.

Out of all the people from the Heavenly Cold Sect who came here, he must be one of those who knew that the guardians wouldn’t be in place until the elders finished handing over their duties today.

Thinking back, this Senior Brother Wang used to be one of her fervent suitors, promising that he would definitely help her become the Saintess…

But after she had gone to the Gu Family for marriage, he switched sides. Whether he joined forces with Zhu Qin or Yayun, she didn’t quite remember.

“Senior Brother, after all is said and done, we are still from the same sect, why go to such lengths?”

Liu Qingqing said with an expressionless face.

“What?”

“Junior Sister, what are you talking about? Save me quickly, I really don’t know anything, I swear!”

The Prince clutched his legs, still pleading with a pained face.

But his act was too fake.

If it really wasn’t him, he would’ve pulled out the flying swords and fled by now.

He must already know everything, aware that he had no chance of escape, which is why he was pretending here.

“Is it Sister Zhu Qin or Sister Yayun who instigated this?”

Liu Qingqing asked expressionlessly, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

She had never imagined that the rivalry for the title of Saintess could turn so ugly, so much so that they would even consider getting rid of her.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether she was too kindhearted or if the others were simply too ruthless.

Leaving no chance for survival.

“I really don’t know anything…”

“Junior Sister…”

The Prince wept with snot and tears, still trying to beg and explain.

But Gu Kuang had already run out of patience and coldly raised his hand to smash down.

‘Boom!!!’

A massive handprint struck the ground, creating a deep crater, and the Prince didn’t even have the chance to scream before he turned into a mush of flesh. As for the two Yellow Grade top-grade ownerless flying swords, they were also smashed beyond repair!

“No need to ask so many questions.”

“The two you mentioned just now, they are also candidates for the Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect, right?”

“Old man will take you to flatten them as well.”

“It’s really unexpected to find that someone in the Northern Domain would dare to lay a hand on my granddaughter-in-law, targeting the Young Lady of the Gu Family.”

“Take Gu Family for what?”

Liu Qingqing hadn’t even had time to react when she turned her head in a daze, only to see the old Patriarch’s face cold and uncaring as he directly intended to take her to kill the other two candidates outright!

She opened her mouth wanting to say something, but a bitter smile rose to her lips instead.

He was planning to kill her already; if the old Patriarch hadn’t happened to rescue her, she would have been the one dead.

Even if the old Patriarch hadn’t taken action to kill her just now, she would have taken his life.

She just didn’t expect the old Patriarch to be so heavy-handed, not even bothering to question or care about who was behind the command; he was ready to kill them all!

Her Liu Family didn’t have that kind of confidence, but the Gu Family… truly had that capability!

Over the years, she had been in closed-door cultivation, simply focusing on advancing her Realm, seldom engaging in conflicts with others and never having to fight her own Sect members—she had thought it was merely competition.

Only today did the old Patriarch make her truly understand the principle that in the Cultivation World, power is the ultimate truth.

“This… might not be appropriate,” said Liu Qingqing as she saw that the old Patriarch was even angrier than she was, somewhat hesitantly.

In her heart, she still felt that it might have been the individual’s own decision, or the machination of one of the candidates; to kill both without reason would be an overreaction.

“Miss Liu, you should understand something.”

“No matter whether you are the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess or a prodigy of the Liu Family, it doesn’t concern me.”

“But right now you are still the Young Lady of our Gu Family, the wife of my eldest grandson, Gu Kuang.”

“This isn’t about taking up your defense; I am only doing this for the sake of my eldest grandson.”

Gu Kuang looked over at one of them, his expression indifferent as he spoke.

Deep down, he really couldn’t say he liked this Liu Qingqing; after all, if it hadn’t been for that unfilial son trying to save this girl’s life, who knows how terrifying his eldest grandson’s talents could have been by now!

Liu Qingqing heard this and realized that she had been overly sentimental.

It was not her place to voice opposition—Gu Kuang had already magnified his Wine Gourd a hundredfold with a wave of his hand, turning it into a Sky-controlling Magic Treasure. @@novelbin@@

After all, she was his granddaughter-in-law; for his grandson’s sake, he could not ignore her. He let her sit on the Sky-controlling Gourd and even threw her a bottle of Elixir to help her recover from her injuries and restore her Spiritual Energy.

As for himself, with a cold expression, he controlled the air and flew directly towards Duanbei City.

When he reached the city wall, there happened to be a cultivator from the Heavenly Gate Realm returning from another direction, who greeted him with a smile, “Daoist Fellow Gu, what gains did you make on this trip?”

But Gu Kuang, not in the best of moods, just glanced at him without responding, directly entering the city and heading towards the Heavenly Cold Sect’s base in Duanbei City.

The cultivator from Heavenly Gate Realm frowned, utterly confused.

“Who has provoked Gu Madman now…”

“Forget it, as long as it doesn’t involve me, it’s fine.”

The cultivator from Heavenly Gate Realm curled his lips. Although he had been met with a cold shoulder, he did not wish to get into a dispute with Gu Madman, who was visibly not in a good state.

Ever since his second son died, his temperament had become extremely unstable, not to mention facing cultivators from Heavenly Gate Realm, he would even dare to confront those from Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm. Right after his son had just died, it was said that to vent his anger, he had burnt his Lifespan Essence Blood in the No Master Land and severely injured a Ninth Grade Demon Emperor; if the Demon Emperor hadn’t retreated, he probably would have fought to the death!

It was also because of that burning of Lifespan and Essence Blood, that for a Heavenly Gate Realm cultivator who was only a little over a hundred years old, his hair was prematurely gray, unlike Gu Zhan, who was in the prime of middle age.

Duanbei City, Heavenly Cold Sect base.

Being one of the three major forces in the Northern Domain, even in this marginal area, the palatial buildings were constructed in a very imposing manner.

Gu Kuang arrived at the gate, where the disciples of Heavenly Cold Sect hurried forward to greet him, “Excuse me, senior, I wonder…”

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Kuang raised his hand and summoned an Earth Rank Top Grade long knife, and without warning, he slashed at the palatial entrance!

The domineering blade light cleaved the main gate in two and did not stop as it continued towards the hall and houses in the back.

Fortunately, two figures appeared in the air and managed to disperse the blade light with a palm strike.

“Daoist Fellow Gu, you are quite fiery.”

“You’ve destroyed our Heavenly Cold Sect’s gate.”

“If you don’t give a good explanation today, I’m afraid we can’t let you leave.”

Two Elders from the Heavenly Cold Sect, both from Heavenly Gate Realm, questioned him with darkened faces, including the Sixth Elder, who had once visited the Gu Family.
