229: The women rushed to Nanzhou

Inside Cangfeng Residence.

Su Li, Leng Yue, Gu Yingying, Gu Lingshuang, Li Xinxue, and Yun Shang were all gathered here.

"Big Brother! Have you really found the whereabouts of that beast Gu Yun?!" Gu Lingshuang rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Cao Bu's sleeve.

She had only just learned that Gu Yun had actually sneaked back to the Gu Clan last time and had even been beaten by Gu Chuyan. She had missed it because she was in deep secluded cultivation, and she was originally feeling a bit annoyed.

But upon hearing that they were going to kill Gu Yun this time, that bit of annoyance instantly turned into ecstasy.

She had waited for this day for a very, very long time.

Cao Bu nodded and patted her hand. "Mhm. Ling Shuang, your revenge will soon be settled."

Gu Lingshuang instantly burst into tears.

No one knew how she had endured these past days.

Because of Gu Yun and that shameful past, she had never been able to truly face Cao Bu with an open heart, which was why she chose deep secluded cultivation.

"Big Brother, thank you." She choked out, hugging Cao Bu tightly.

Cao Bu pulled her into his arms, his voice firm. "Ling Shuang, don't worry. Big Brother will always stand by your side."

"Mhm!" Gu Lingshuang nodded heavily, burying her face in his chest. "I believe in Big Brother!"

Feeling her emotional state, a thought occurred to Cao Bu:

"System, draw five times."

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Physique Origin—Heaven-Severing Cold Soul Physique!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a supreme dao emperor weapon—Frost Silence Emperor Sword!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Physique Origin—Exquisite Overlord Physique!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a supreme dao emperor weapon—dragon fall splitting heaven saber!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a supreme dao emperor weapon—nine nether reincarnation sword!]

Cao Bu remained calm.

With a wave of his hand, five treasures emitting powerful auras floated in the air.

"Yingying, this Exquisite Overlord Physique Origin and the dragon fall splitting heaven saber are for you."

"Ling Shuang, the Heaven-Severing Cold Soul Physique Origin and the Frost Silence Emperor Sword are yours."

"Adoptive Mother, take this nine nether reincarnation sword."

Su Li already had two defensive supreme dao emperor weapons and happened to lack an offensive one; this nine nether reincarnation sword was perfect.

The women did not refuse and each accepted their gifts.

The moment Gu Yingying and Gu Lingshuang touched the Origins and emperor weapons, they felt a throb of Bloodline connection, feeling both shocked and grateful.

Su Li gently stroked the nine nether reincarnation sword, which flowed with an eerie light, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

Cao Bu then took out an ancient-looking scroll with restrained brilliance; it was the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram.

"Ling Shuang, fuse a strand of your Primordial Spirit and a drop of your lifeblood essence into this diagram."

A curious expression appeared on Gu Lingshuang's face.

Leng Yue explained softly, "Ling Shuang, just do as he says."

"This diagram is very magical. Once fused, you can go inside to Cultivate. You will understand the benefits later."

Gu Lingshuang had no doubts about Cao Bu and Leng Yue. She immediately circulated her Cultivation Technique, forced out a drop of Essence Blood, and separated a strand of condensed Primordial Spirit, carefully sending them into the diagram.

Before long, she established a clear mental connection with the diagram.

Cao Bu nodded with satisfaction and unfurled the diagram.

"Ling Shuang, Yingying, Heart Snow, and Yun Shang, enter the diagram first. It's a good time to calmly refine the treasures you've received."

Cao Bu looked at the four women and specifically exhorted:

"Ling Shuang, Yingying, you two must hurry."

"Gu Yun is already a Realm Sovereign. The more strength you have, the better your chances."

He then looked at Gu Yingying. "Yingying, your cultivation is still shallow. When refining the Exquisite Overlord Physique Origin, you must proceed step by step; do not be impatient."

"The dragon fall splitting heaven saber has a heavy Killing Intent. When you first start using it, nourish it with your mind and adapt slowly."

Then he said to Gu Lingshuang, "Ling Shuang, the Heaven-Severing Cold Soul Physique and the Frost Silence Emperor Sword are very compatible with your sword-dao Heart-Nature. They can help you break through the Realm Sovereign Bottleneck."

"Remember, a sword is an extension of your limbs, and even more so, an expression of your intent."

The two women nodded solemnly.

Gu Lingshuang gave Cao Bu a deep look; besides the flames of revenge in her eyes, there was an added sense of quiet trust.

If not for Cao Bu, she might not have made it this far, let alone have the chance for revenge.

With a thought from Cao Bu, the ten thousand fragrances paying homage to the phoenix diagram glowed brightly. A gentle suction instantly enveloped the four women, pulling them all into the diagram.

Four hazy silhouettes vaguely appeared on the diagram, sitting cross-legged in a valley rich with Spiritual Qi, already beginning to refine with their eyes closed.

Cao Bu put away the diagram and then placed it inside the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.

This way, Gu Yingying and Gu Lingshuang would have enough time to complete their refinement.

As for Li Xinxue and Yun Shang, they had already refined Physique Origins and emperor weapons before.

They were now both experts in the Realm Emperor Realm.

As for Gu Yin, it wasn't time yet, so he didn't call her along.

Now, only Cao Bu, Su Li, and Leng Yue remained in Cangfeng Residence.

Su Li had already initially refined the nine nether reincarnation sword and taken it into her body to nourish.

She looked at Cao Bu, her eyes a mix of tenderness and Battle Intent. "Bu'er, when do we set out?"

Leng Yue stood quietly to the side, a faint chill appearing around her. Although she didn't speak, the determination in her eyes said everything.

Gu Yun dared to defile her daughter; he must die this time.

Cao Bu looked at the sky outside the courtyard, his gaze deep.

"There's no time to lose, we leave now." His voice was calm yet resolute. "Li'er, you lead the way."

Su Li nodded and stepped forward to take Cao Bu's left arm.

Leng Yue also stepped forward and gently held his right arm.

With a wave of Su Li's jade-like hand, Law of Reincarnation surged, wrapping around the three of them as they turned into a brilliant stream of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon.

Target—Nanzhou!

The hiding place of Gu Yun and Jun Muqing was twenty states away from the Sword Province, nearly at the border of the Spirit Realm.

Shortly after the three left...

Lingxiao Courtyard.

Deep within Gu Feng's consciousness.

The hoarse, excited laughter of the Desolate Bone Immortal King rang out: "Kid Gu Feng, they've left! They've all left!"

Gu Feng's spirit lifted. "Senior, is it true?!"

"Absolutely!" the Desolate Bone Immortal King said excitedly. "Now in the entire Gu Clan, the only ones who can pose a threat to you are the secluded Luo Qingcheng, The Black and White Elders, and the Three Grand Elders."

"As for Su Li, Leng Yue, Cao Bu, and that ex-wife of yours..."

"Their auras have all completely vanished from the Gu Clan."

Hearing this, Gu Feng's fists clenched suddenly, his knuckles turning white.

The opportunity had finally come!

"Gu Feng, I didn't expect this Nirvana would actually allow a sliver of my Divine Sense to penetrate outside your body." The Desolate Bone Immortal King looked at Gu Feng excitedly after calming down. "It seems you don't need to undergo tribulation; as long as you complete the final transformation of this emperor bone, you can wake up directly!"

A raging fire of anger ignited in Gu Feng's eyes. "Cao Bu, just you wait! I, Gu Feng, will definitely make you pay a hundredfold!"

He no longer hesitated, concentrating all his mind to complete the final perfect transformation of the emperor bone.

Just then.

"Wait!" the Desolate Bone Immortal King suddenly shouted.

Gu Feng's movements paused. "Senior, what's wrong?"

That sliver of the Desolate Bone Immortal King's Divine Sense shot toward the sky.

High in the heavens, a deep, dark Tribulation Cloud was slowly gathering.

His voice carried a hint of alarm: "Your Eldest Aunt is about to come out of seclusion!"
