554: The Wang family attacks, and the Gu family is in danger

The next day.

Seven Nights Snow.

Xie Weilou sat in his room, looking at a scroll, while Nan Zhiyi respectfully stood by, pouring tea.

Snow Consort entered the room, bowed to Xie Weilou, and said, "Greetings, Keep Master."

Xie Weilou looked at Snow Consort and chuckled, "No need for such formality."

Snow Consort smiled softly, her gaze falling on Nan Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, the Gu Family's Eldest Young Miss sent word that the Wang Family's strong cultivators have arrived at the Gu Family and are about to make a move. Go to the Gu Family and repay the favor."

"Okay."

Nan Zhiyi nodded gently.

She owed the Gu Family a favor. Half a month ago, she went to Blood Cloak Keep to fight a powerful enemy, suffered severe injuries, and by chance escaped into the Gu Family, where she was taken in by the Gu Family's Eldest Young Miss.

However, this also caused a huge impact on the Gu Family. This favor was too great; she had to repay it and help the Gu Family overcome this tribulation.

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "The Gu Family? Let's go take a look together! It just so happens that this Wang Family has set their sights on me; they need to be eradicated."

Since he had already offended the Wang Family, he needed to eradicate them sooner rather than later to prevent more people from foolishly provoking him.

Snow Consort smiled and said, "If Keep Master goes along, this matter will be completely settled."

"Exactly."

Nan Zhiyi also showed a smile. Alone, she naturally wouldn't fear the Wang Family in the slightest.

However, the Wang Family was supported by Blood Cloak Keep, and if the Divine Court appeared, it would be a bit troublesome.

With Keep Master accompanying her, things would be simpler.

Xie Weilou put down the scroll, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"

Afterward, he and Nan Zhiyi left Seven Nights Snow.

East of the city.

The Gu Family.

In a plaza, Gu Jianting held a longsword, leading dozens of Gu Family members standing together. Among the dozens, Gu Jianting had the strongest cultivation, while the others were all below the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage.

Opposite them were more than a dozen members of the Wang Family.

Leading the team was a man in a purple robe with a sinister face, none other than the Wang Family's Young Master, Wang Xun.

"Four Profound Phase Realm Peak, four Dragon Transformation Realm."

Gu Jianting stared at the Wang Family members, her expression extremely solemn.

The Wang Family had ten Profound Manifestation Realm cultivators and five Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators. The Wang Family's Patriarch, Wang Zhen, had even reached the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak, comparable in cultivation to her father.

Currently, the Gu Family's Profound Manifestation Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators were severely injured and in seclusion. Facing the Wang Family, they were certainly no match.

Her elder sister said there was an arrangement, but she didn't know what that arrangement was.

Wang Xun looked at Gu Jianting, a hint of greed in his eyes: "It's been a few years, and the Second Young Miss has grown so beautiful and charming. My heart is greatly pleased!"

"You must already know the purpose of my visit to the Gu Family today, Second Young Miss. Now, I'll give the Gu Family a chance: as long as you and your elder sister marry me, from now on, the Gu Family will be subservient to my Wang Family and can avoid the danger of annihilation."

With the Gu Family's strong cultivators in seclusion, they couldn't stir up any trouble. What could a Gu Jianting and a Gu Jianyu do?

Gu Jianting immediately drew her longsword, pointing it at Wang Xun, and said in a chilling tone, "Are you worthy? If you want to destroy my Gu Family, then let's see if your Wang Family is qualified."

Wang Xun's smile was playful: "It seems the Second Young Miss doesn't appreciate a good offer! In the current situation, what kind of waves can your Gu Family still stir up?"

"You can try."

Gu Jianting said coldly.

Wang Xun extended his hand, and a blood-colored sword appeared in his grasp. An aura of Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage emanated from him.

He said with a bloodthirsty smile, "It's been a while since I've stretched my muscles and bones. I hear the Second Young Miss is quite strong. Why don't we take this opportunity to spar?"

He wasn't afraid if the Gu Family had any trump cards. If the Gu Family had them, did his Wang Family not?

"..."

Gu Jianting said nothing more, her figure moved, and she instantly charged at Wang Xun, unleashing a sword strike. The sword qi was like a rainbow, fierce and ruthless.

"Good timing."

Wang Xun smiled coldly and immediately swung his sword to meet her.

Boom!

The two swords clashed, and powerful sword qi swept around, causing the ground to continuously crack.

Boom!

Gu Jianting swung her sword again, striking Wang Xun's blood-colored sword. The terrifying force directly sent Wang Xun retreating a dozen meters.

Wang Xun flipped over, steadying himself. He glanced at his sword-wielding hand, which was already bloody and mangled. His expression was somewhat grim: "You have some strength."

"Dealing with you, naturally, is no problem."

Gu Jianting sneered.

"Is that so?"

A cold glint flashed in Wang Xun's eyes. He flicked his sleeve, and a set of Blood Dragon Battle Armor instantly appeared on him.

His aura rapidly surged, directly stepping from the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage into the Profound Phase Realm Peak.

Wang Xun grinned sinisterly, "This Blood Dragon Battle Armor of mine was refined by a Divine Court strong cultivator and can increase one's cultivation by one realm. I'd like to see how you block me."

With that, he instantly swung his sword and charged at Gu Jianting. The Blood Dragon Battle Armor was indeed extraordinary, but it only lasted for half an incense stick's time. However, it should be enough to suppress Gu Jianting.

"..."

Gu Jianting's heart tightened as she saw Wang Xun charging at her with his sword. The Wang Family was backed by Blood Cloak Keep, so they indeed had many good things. She didn't dare to agree and quickly swung her sword to block.

Boom!

The two swords clashed, and Gu Jianting felt a tremendous force strike her. The longsword in her hand was severed, and her body was sent retreating thirty meters.

Thirty meters away.

Gu Jianting struggled to steady herself, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth. Facing a Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage cultivator, she naturally wasn't afraid, but against a Profound Phase Realm Peak, she was no match.

"Is that all? If so, you can kneel and surrender."

Wang Xun's words were chilling. With a lunge, he reached Gu Jianting and unleashed a sword strike.

Gu Jianting quickly conjured a jade talisman, which transformed into a bloody light, forming a shield in front of her.

Bang!

Wang Xun's sword struck the blood-colored shield, which exploded. The powerful recoil force sent Gu Jianting flying another ten meters.

"Pfft!"

Gu Jianting held her broken sword, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face pale.

"Second Young Miss, your strength is nothing more than this."

Wang Xun's words were disdainful. His figure moved, and he once again reached Gu Jianting. He swung his sword towards Gu Jianting's head.

"..."

Gu Jianting's pupils contracted, and she instinctively tried to dodge.

Whoosh!

Just then, a cold gleam shot out, aimed directly at Wang Xun's glabella.

"Hmm?"

Wang Xun raised an eyebrow and immediately blocked with his blood-colored sword.

Boom!

The cold blade struck the blood-colored sword, and a recoil force sent Wang Xun retreating a dozen meters.

After steadying himself, Wang Xun sneered, "The Gu Family still has experts? Which old geezer came out of seclusion at the risk of his life?"

At this moment, a Gu Family maid pushed a wheelchair, and Gu Jianyu sat in it.

"Gu Jianyu!"

Wang Xun looked at Gu Jianyu, raising an eyebrow.

"Elder Sister."

Gu Jianting looked at Gu Jianyu, surprised.

Gu Jianyu softly said, "Jian Ting, you step back first. Leave this to me."

Wang Xun pointed his sword at Gu Jianyu, mocking, "What can a cripple like you do?"

"Everyone, step back!"

Gu Jianyu extended her hand.

"..."

The Gu Family members all retreated.

Gu Jianyu looked at Wang Xun: "The Gu Family's territory is not for you to run wild."

With that, to everyone's shocked gazes, she slowly stood up...
