355: Chapter 355 Looking for someone? No need to look anymore, I've returned them after I've used them!

Meanwhile.

In the Dongxuan Region, Shenmu City, inside the main hall of the Gu Family.

Patriarch Gu Changfeng was standing below in the main hall, covered in cold sweat, his body slightly hunched.

On the main seat of the hall sat an old man wearing the robes of a Grand Elder of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect.

The old man was named Elder Li Er, and his cultivation had already reached the first level of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Elder Li Er held a cup of freshly brewed premium spiritual tea, using the lid to gently skim off the foam.

His cold gaze swept across the Gu Family Elders on both sides of the hall, who were as silent as cicadas in winter. They didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.

Before the behemoth that was the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, the Gu Family, this so-called first-class Family, was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

"Clap!" Elder Li Er suddenly smashed the scalding spiritual tea in his hand violently at Patriarch Gu Changfeng's feet.

The boiling tea splashed all over Patriarch Gu Changfeng, yet he dared not even dodge.

"Patriarch Gu Changfeng, your Gu Family certainly has a lot of nerve!"

"For the Young Sect Master to take a fancy to your daughter, that is your Gu Family's ancestors accumulating virtue!"

"Countless families would break their heads trying to send their daughters into the Young Sect Master's chambers without any means to do so."

"But look at you! With the wedding date approaching, that wretched girl actually ran away?!"

He stood up, kicked over the jade table in front of him, and pointed at Patriarch Gu Changfeng's nose, cursing angrily:

"Patriarch Gu Changfeng, do you think your Gu Family's wings have hardened, and you dare to play tricks on the Tianxuan Immortal Sect?!"

"Elder Li Er, please calm your anger! Please calm your anger!"

Patriarch Gu Changfeng trembled all over and quickly cupped his hands to explain:

"That rebellious daughter was spoiled by me since she was young; she does not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"My Gu Family is absolutely loyal to the Tianxuan Immortal Sect; we have no ulterior motives!"

Elder Li Er sneered, sat back down on the main seat, and swept a contemptuous gaze over the gathered Gu Family members.

"Enough nonsense, this seat only looks at results."

"The Young Sect Master's Cultivation Technique is at a critical juncture for a Breakthrough, and he urgently needs the Origin of that Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique to harmonize Yin and Yang."

"I will put these words here today. I will only give you three days."

"Within three days, you must bind Gu Xiyao, that wretched woman, and bring her back to the Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

"Three days later, if I do not see her, your Gu Family can forget about entering the Immortal Burial Ruins, and the entire clan should prepare to bear the wrath of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect!"

Upon hearing these words, several Elders of the Gu Family turned pale with fright, kneeling to the ground one after another, wailing in despair.

The quota for the Immortal Burial Ruins was the Gu Family's hope for rising to power.

If the quota were lost and they were held in hatred by the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, the Gu Family would absolutely be suppressed by other families.

That unfilial daughter actually dared to run away; she was simply pushing the Family into a pit of fire!

"Elder Li Er, rest assured!"

Patriarch Gu Changfeng patted his chest in guarantee.

"Even if I have to turn the entire Dongxuan Region upside down, I will definitely catch that ungrateful, rebellious daughter and bring her back!"

"At that time, I will personally break her legs and send her to the Young Sect Master's bedside to apologize!"

Hearing Patriarch Gu Changfeng's statement, Elder Li Er finally snorted in satisfaction.

"You are at least sensible..."

However, just as Elder Li Er's voice fell,

"Boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly came from above the Gu Family.

Following that, the protective formation that had guarded the Gu Family for tens of thousands of years, claimed to be able to withstand a full-strength strike from a Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouse, let out a mournful cry at this moment and shattered into pieces!

Countless glowing spiritual energy fragments, like a meteor shower, fell from the sky, crashing into every corner of the Gu Family.

"Who dares to trespass into my Gu Family?!"

Patriarch Gu Changfeng shouted loudly.

Elder Li Er also frowned, his Tribulation Transcendence Stage Divine Sense immediately sweeping toward the sky.

Someone who could shatter the Gu Family's protective formation in one strike was definitely not an ordinary person.

Could it be that another major power had come to cause trouble?

Just as everyone was facing a formidable enemy,

a deep, arrogant voice rolled out from a spatial crack, resounding throughout the entire Gu Family main hall.

"There is no need for you to turn the world upside down."

"The person you are looking for, this Young Master has finished using... ah no, I have personally brought her back for you!"

Accompanied by this voice,

two figures, a man and a woman, fell like meteors, crashing down from the spatial crack!

"Bang!"

The two landed steadily in the center of the Gu Family main hall.

A powerful spatial force swept outward with the two of them as the center, directly flipping the jade tables and chairs weighing ten thousand catties on both sides of the main hall into mid-air, smashing them into pieces against the walls.

Several Gu Family Elders with only Body Integration Stage cultivation were sent flying, turned upside down by the shockwave, spitting blood as they were thrown backward.

The dust settled.

Cao Kun stood in place with an indifferent expression.

And in the crook of his arm, nestled tightly against him, was none other than Gu Xiyao, whom the Gu Family had been searching for in vain!

Seeing his daughter, who was unharmed and even had a Breakthrough in her cultivation, Patriarch Gu Changfeng felt a surge of joy—the Gu Family was saved!

But he quickly noticed the intimate behavior between Gu Xiyao and Cao Kun.

"Xiyao! You... how could you be so shameless!"

"To actually mingle with such a wild man!"

"Hurry up and get over here! Kneel down and beg for forgiveness from Elder Li Er!"

If this were in the past, hearing such a stern reprimand from her father, Gu Xiyao would definitely not have dared to talk back and would have obediently complied.

Under the pressure of the Family, she had never had any room to resist.

But at this moment, she did not let go; instead, she hugged Cao Kun's arm even tighter.

Her plump bosom pressed firmly against Cao Kun's arm, as if only from this man could she draw the courage to confront the entire world.

Gu Xiyao lifted her stunningly beautiful face, looking directly at Patriarch Gu Changfeng without flinching, her voice clear and every word resonant:

"Patriarch Gu Changfeng, from the moment you decided to sell me to Young Sect Master Ji Bo as a cauldron, I was no longer a person of your Gu Family!"

"I have already pledged my life to my husband!"

Gu Xiyao, in front of everyone, leaned her head on Cao Kun's shoulder.

"I am his woman."

"I will absolutely not go to the Tianxuan Immortal Sect to be a cauldron for that piece-of-trash Young Sect Master!"

"You all can give up on that idea!"

As her voice fell,

dozens of Divine Senses swept toward Gu Xiyao simultaneously.

The cultivation fluctuation of the Mahayana Middle Stage could not be faked; it was a full Realm higher than before she left home!

However... the Extreme Yin Origin that originally belonged to the Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique was now completely gone!

"Bang!"

On the main seat, the teacup in Elder Li Er's hand exploded.

The boiling tea mixed with broken porcelain shards shot out, punching more than a dozen deep pits into the floor.

The cauldron that the Young Sect Master of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect had taken a fancy to had actually been snatched by some wild man who popped out of nowhere!

This not only ruined the Young Sect Master's cultivation Foundation but also threw the face of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect on the ground to be trampled!

If this were to spread, how could the Tianxuan Immortal Sect hold its head high in the Dongxuan Region?

"Good! Very good!"

"Patriarch Gu Changfeng! Is this the explanation your Gu Family gives this seat?"

"Is this your Gu Family's loyalty to the Tianxuan Immortal Sect?!"

Patriarch Gu Changfeng's face turned ashen.

He had only one thought in his mind: The Gu Family is finished!

The Tianxuan Immortal Sect will definitely pour its wrath onto the Gu Family!
