21: The person is dead, is saying sorry any use?

A bolt from the blue!

Gu Yan's eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared at the corpse on the Sword Stele.

Blood was still slowly flowing down the corpse, and the entire body was shattered, riddled with blood holes, clearly indicating it had been forcibly impaled on this Sword Stele.

He gripped the light green longsword in his hand tightly, trying his best to suppress his sorrow!

In a short period, he had successively experienced the cruel events of his family's destruction and the death of his close friend. He was just a young man in his early twenties!

Not going insane already showed his strong mental fortitude!

"Junior Brother Ji, I'm sorry for what happened to you."

Countless regrets rose in Gu Yan's heart. He knew that Ji Wenfeng's death was inextricably linked to his help.

Tears streamed down Gu Yan's face from his eyes.

In Gu Yan's memory, Ji Wenfeng was a gentle and refined young man, whose every warm smile could infect others.

But now he could no longer smile warmly. His distinct black and white eyes were bulging out, staring fixedly ahead like a goldfish, seemingly unable to rest in peace.

He never imagined that Ji Wenfeng, by merely helping him go to the Lower Realm, doing such a trivial small thing, would be forcefully killed by Chongxuan Pavilion.

Junior Brother Ji, he was the Eldest Young Master of the Ji family!

Gu Yan knew very well that Ji Wenfeng's death was definitely related to Chongxuan Pavilion!

He never expected Ji Wenfeng to die like this!

"Had I known this would happen, I definitely wouldn't have come to find you."

If he had known about the destruction of the Gu Family in advance, he wouldn't have been so anxious. Perhaps he would have thought of other methods, and wouldn't have had to forcibly use the Two Realms Passage.

When he went to the Lower Realm earlier, he had secretly sworn to repay Ji Wenfeng in the future, but in just a few days, Ji Wenfeng had met a tragic end, separated from him by Yin and Yang forever.

Gu Yan's body turned cold!

Chongxuan Pavilion, in order to be a dog for the Saint, actually didn't hesitate to offend the Ji family to death!

This was something he had not anticipated at all!

His hidden figure slowly descended towards this nameless mountain peak, looking at Ji Wenfeng's terribly tragic corpse, which could not rest in peace.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Gu Yan solemnly straightened his somewhat tattered blood-colored robes, his knees softened, and he knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing to mourn Ji Wenfeng.

"Junior Brother Ji, rest assured, I will definitely avenge you!"

Gu Yan solemnly swore, speaking earnestly.

"Avenge?"

"Hahaha, you little beast, how will you avenge? What right do you have to avenge?"

Suddenly, a cold shout came from Gu Yan's ears, tightening his heart.

As expected!

There were strong cultivators ambushing him in secret!

He actually had a feeling about it, relying on the power of the Void Realm to dare to come so openly to mourn Ji Wenfeng.

When the sense of danger arrived, Gu Yan prepared to manipulate the power of the Void Realm to escape without hesitation!

However, when Gu Yan saw a burly man, who looked eighty percent similar to Ji Wenfeng, descending from the sky radiating Evil Qi, his face showed shock.

"Ji family Head?!"

He blurted out, not expecting it to be him!

The Ji family Head, Ji Kong.

At this moment, Ji Kong's face was ferocious, yet it showed a hint of exhaustion and pain.

When he was in the Xuan Realm, he had once looked down on him. During a certain competition, he had made a big splash and severely embarrassed Ji Kong!

He still remembered the ugly look on Ji Kong's face at that time.

He never expected that after that competition ended, their next meeting would be here.

Feeling Ji Kong's anger, Gu Yan immediately said, "Ji family Head, we are not enemies."

"Wenfeng was my close friend..."

Gu Yan understood in his heart that the Ji family Head loved Ji Wenfeng immensely, and his appearance in the Xiao Zhu Realm at this time must be to collect Ji Wenfeng's body.

Perhaps this is an opportunity. If I want to deal with Chongxuan Pavilion, he is an ally I can win over.

Ji Kong's anger turned into laughter, saying, "Close friend? Is that how you are as a friend?"

"You got into big trouble, didn't hurry to find a place to hide, but instead sought out Wenfeng. You are truly a good friend!"

"It's just that this rebellious son of mine is a fool, to fall for your trick and bring disaster upon himself!"

Hearing his scolding, Gu Yan's face also darkened. He felt a surge of grievance and retorted, "I, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I am sorry for Wenfeng."

Ji Kong's eyes widened, he raised his fist and shouted, "The person is dead, is 'sorry' useful? I'll kill you today!"

Gu Yan took half a step back, secretly mobilizing the power of the Void Realm, and quickly said, "Ji family Head, I know you hate me very much, but putting aside the facts, am I not guilty?"

"I promise you."

"Wenfeng died an unclear death. I will definitely find the person who killed him, dismember him, and scatter his ashes!"

Dismember the person who killed Ji Wenfeng and scatter his ashes?

Ji Kong was stunned upon hearing this.

Coming back to his senses, he immediately flew into a rage, "What the hell are you talking about! I killed this rebellious son with my own hands!"

"It's because of you, this jinx, that our Ji family has suffered a great disaster!"

Ah? What does that mean?!

Gu Yan was stunned. Ji Kong's words contained too much information, almost burning out his CPU!

Ji Wenfeng, he wasn't killed by Chongxuan Pavilion, but by Ji Kong himself?!

Why?!

Gu Yan never expected the truth of the matter to be like this!

Nor would he have imagined the humble scene of Ji Kong kneeling outside Chongxuan Pavilion with a coffin on his back, begging for forgiveness.

This was beyond his imagination!

Ji Kong didn't bother to say more to Gu Yan. He was guarding here because he wanted to severely torment Gu Yan!

A punch landed!

The entire mountain peak exploded!

Only the Sword Stele and Ji Wenfeng's corpse were unharmed!

Gu Yan was greatly alarmed, he activated the power of the Void Realm and hid beneath the Sword Stele.

Seeing this, Ji Kong was furious.

He slapped his palm, and golden light erupted from his palm!

A huge chessboard descended from the sky.

Ji Kong's Saint-tier weapon!

Heavenly Origin Chessboard!

As the chessboard fell, Gu Yan was directly trapped within the chessboard and was torn into a large mist of blood by countless black and white chess pieces!

Originally, Ji Kong wanted to directly kill Gu Yan to vent his hatred, but he personally guarded Qingyun Sword Sect because that Saint had also given him a task.

At this moment, he suppressed his murderous intent.

He dropped a blood-red large piece onto the Heavenly Origin Chessboard.

The moment this large piece fell, it flew towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan, who should have escaped with the help of the Void Realm's power, was horrified to find that his Void Realm power, which had been invincible in the Xuan Realm, was ineffective at this moment!

He was greatly alarmed!

At this moment, the red piece that trapped him suddenly expanded, gradually forming a phantom.

"Chu Feng?!"

Gu Yan looked at the figure in the red light in disbelief, blurting out in shock!

The red shadow, Chu Feng, looked at Gu Yan, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly, "Little Junior Brother, we meet again."
