249: Cao Mengxian, the young master of the Cao family

Luo Qingcheng's words grew increasingly sharp, pouring out the resentment that had been pent up for so long:

"He has strength, but it's all for show in front of outsiders, where he acts all high and mighty!"

"But once he returns to his Bedchamber, aside from that pitiful and laughable bit of authority, what joy has he ever given us sisters?"

"Nothing but cold rituals and perfunctory, hasty affairs!"

Her voice trembled slightly with emotion, and a faint glimmer of tears sparkled in her eyes:

"We sisters are in the prime of our youth, yet year after year, we must keep watch over a husband who cannot even fulfill the most basic duties of a husband."

"Do you have any idea what kind of humiliation that is?! What kind of torment?!"

"In his heart, there is only his Great Dao. To him, what difference is there between us and the exquisite jade ornaments displayed in this great hall?"

"All of this is merely an object to prove that he once possessed peerless beauty!"

Her gaze shifted back to Cao Bu, the ice in her eyes instantly melting, transforming into undisguised tenderness.

"But Cao Bu, he is a real man!"

"He gave us the affection we never had before, and true satisfaction!"

As she uttered the last two words, the blush on her face deepened.

"He made us realize that being a woman could be so blissful."

"Not only does he show the utmost care and tenderness in the Bedchamber, but he can also shelter us from the storm and lead the Gu Clan forward."

"Gu Qingtian isn't even fit to polish his shoes in comparison!"

Such shocking comparisons and accusations slammed heavily into the hearts of the Seven Great Elders.

They were not only shocked by Gu Qingtian's hidden flaw but also horrified by the three Main Consorts' complete betrayal—both physical and mental—and their merciless denunciation.

So, the long-standing emptiness and the dual dissatisfaction, both physiological and psychological, were the deepest reasons they turned to Cao Bu!

Gu Qingtian's inadequacy became the critical blow that allowed Cao Bu to completely conquer them!

The faces of the Second Elder and the others turned ashen; the last shred of confidence to defend Gu Qingtian vanished completely in the face of this stark comparison.

Looking at Luo Qingcheng nestled in Cao Bu's embrace, and then at Leng Yue and Su Li, who remained silent but whose eyes said everything, they finally understood.

This was not merely a shift in power, but a complete conquest—from body to Soul, from reality to memory!

Gu Qingtian, even though he has already Ascended to the Upper Realm and become an Immortal,

in this moment of comparison, has become a pitiful joke!

Cao Bu gently patted the back of Luo Qingcheng's hand, signaling her that there was no need to say more.

He slowly rose from the seat symbolizing the supreme authority of the Gu Clan Chief.

His gaze was calm as it swept over the seven faces below, each etched with shock and fury.

"Why do this?"

Cao Bu repeated the Second Elder's earlier question, the trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth becoming clear: "Naturally..."

He paused, under the gaze of the Seven Great Elders, which was filled with extreme terror.

His face and figure began to undergo a bizarre transformation!

After a series of faint bone crackles, his height increased slightly, his shoulders and back becoming broader and more upright.

The handsome face they were familiar with slowly faded away, revealing a completely different visage!

This face was still young, with sharp, cold lines, and an air of profound depth forged through hardship gathered between his brows.

His eyes were sharp, a stark contrast to his previous gentleness, making him seem like a completely different person.

"This appearance." Cao Bu's voice also returned to its original, more steady tone: "Do you still recognize it?"

"It's you, it's you, you're that remnant of the Cao Family?!!"

The Second Elder's voice was filled with disbelief.

A fragment of memory stained with blood violently broke through the seal of time, emerging clearly.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Gu Clan was still the Gu Family, the Family Head was Gu Qingtian's father, Gu Tao.

At that time, Gu Qingtian was making his way in the outside world and had made many enemies.

To provide an extra layer of security for the clan, Gu Tao set his sights on the Cao Family's Clan-Safeguarding Cultivation Technique, the Thousand Illusions Formless Art.

Although this technique was only Heaven-Grade,

for the Gu Clan at that time, it was a rare treasure.

For this, Gu Tao secretly discussed with them, the Nine Great Elders, and Gu Qingtian, and began a series of plans targeting the Cao Family.

In the end, they successfully slaughtered and exterminated the Cao Family.

It was just a pity that the Cao Family's Young Lord was lucky and managed to escape the calamity.

From then on, Gu Tao sent people to hunt down Cao Bu, even going so far as to have the nine of them personally take action.

Given their Cultivation level at the time, it was devastating for Cao Bu back then.

However, Cao Bu had Cultivated the Thousand Illusions Formless Art, allowing him to escape repeatedly, ultimately getting away from their grasp completely.

The face from back then overlapped with Cao Bu's current face.

Making them understand everything.

Cao Bu, that is, the former Cao Mengxian, had come for revenge.

"It seems your memory isn't too bad." Cao Bu's voice was piercingly cold: "That's right, I am that Cao Family's Young Lord who Luckily, he survived.、 The young master of the Cao family, who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood： Cao！ Meng！ First！."

"I acknowledged Gu Qingtian as my foster father? That was merely a temporary expedient to get close to my enemy, integrate into the Gu Clan, and bide my time for revenge."

The truth instantly swept through every corner of the great hall, freezing everyone's thoughts!

Luo Qingcheng and Leng Yue were also slightly surprised.

They had been with Gu Qingtian for so many years and had never heard of this matter.

They never expected Cao Bu to have such an experience.

Looking at Cao Bu's current appearance now, it had lost some of its softness, gaining more masculine vigor.

Making him appear even more profound and captivating.

Hearing these words, the Seven Great Elders felt their entire bodies turn cold, as if they had fallen into a bottomless ice abyss!

So that's how it is!

So all of this, from beginning to end, was a meticulously planned revenge that had been in the works for who knows how many years!

Cao Bu hadn't come to repay kindness at all; he had come to collect lives!

Their Gu Clan had actually taken in the descendant of the clan they had exterminated, even nearly allowing him to ascend to the position of Clan Chief.

And the three Main Consorts had clearly defected completely!

Boundless fear tightly gripped their hearts.

The tragic scene of the Cao Family's rivers of blood and complete extermination from back then seemed to appear before their eyes.

Now, was it the Gu Clan's turn?

Cao Bu gave them no more time to digest this earth-shattering truth.

He restored his appearance as Cao Bu, then flipped his palm, and seven pitch-black Medicinal Pills materialized in his palm.

The pills emitted a sinister, eerie aura that pierced straight to the Soul, making anyone who saw them shudder with fear.

"These are Life Soul Locking Divine Pills. After taking them, your lives are entirely at my whim."

"From this day forward, your lives no longer belong to you, nor do they belong to the Gu Clan. They belong only to me, Cao Bu."

He flicked his fingers lightly, and the seven pills flew accurately into the slightly agape mouths of the Seven Great Elders, who were filled with extreme terror.

The pills dissolved upon entering, instantly transforming into seven streams of Yin-cold, bone-piercing Qi that ignored all obstacles, rushing straight into the depths of their Sea of Consciousness, tightly coiling around the Origin of their Divine Souls!

"Ugh—!"

Pain originating from the depths of their Souls caused the seven to simultaneously emit suppressed groans. Their bodies trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

They could clearly feel an invisible chain had firmly locked everything about them to Cao Bu's every whim.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Inheritance degree increased by 7%. Obtained seven lottery draws!]

Cao Bu sat back down in the Clan Chief's seat. Luo Qingcheng once again nestled obediently by his side, while Leng Yue and Su Li also silently stood by his side, their gazes icy as they looked down upon the seven whose Souls were trembling below.

"Now." Cao Bu's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the hearts of everyone on the verge of collapse: "Who still opposes me, Cao Bu, taking the position of Gu Clan Chief?"
