Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 182 War Resurfaces
Regarding Gu Yang, how could Gu Qingfeng not understand him?
The man had always been lofty and proud, holding little regard for the rest of the world in his eyes. His actions were somewhat impulsive, like Luman.
But now, Gu Yang sending Gu Yi to request the Evil Slayer Blade had put Gu Qingfeng quite at ease.
It showed wariness.
It meant that since becoming the Guangyang Prince, Gu Yang had indeed grown a lot.
After all, only by maintaining a heart of reverence could one travel further.
Hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words, Gu Yi naturally bowed his head and stayed silent.
Such remarks
were not for a subordinate like him to interject.
Afterward,
Gu Qingfeng stretched out his hand, and the Evil Slayer Blade, positioned at the center of the Grinding Blade Hall, now responded to his call and landed directly into his hand.
Having nurtured the Evil Slayer Blade with Blade Nourishing Skills over many years, and having it stay in the Grinding Blade Hall day and night, absorbing the True Intent and the refinement of Gu Qingfeng’s strength, this Divine Weapon had long surpassed its former self.
Next,
Gu Qingfeng drew the blade from its sheath, and the blood-colored blade light illuminated the Grinding Blade Hall, causing Gu Yi to shiver, feeling as if he was targeted by some terrifying thing, with all the hairs on his body standing on end.
His eyes, looking at the Evil Slayer Blade, were also filled with horror.
A single blade
had caused such a profound sense of threat in him, showing the immense power of the Evil Slayer Blade.
However,
Gu Yi had already witnessed the divine might of the Evil Slayer Blade.
During the battle at Beimen Pass, the blade had slain an elder from the Tianyang Sword Sect, proving its formidable strength.
Under Gu Yi’s astonished gaze, Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger, and a drop of golden blood shot out from the tip of his finger, embedding itself into the handle of the Evil Slayer Blade like a golden gem.
In an instant,
there seemed to be a flash of golden light that disappeared as quickly as it appeared on the Evil Slayer Blade.
What followed
was an intense and formidable pressure emanating from it.
The long blade returned to its sheath.
The pressure dissipated completely.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Qingfeng handed the Evil Slayer Blade to Gu Yi.
"Tell Yang’er, this blade holds a drop of my Essence Blood and can unleash its power three times. It can even slay Evil Spirits!"
"Yes!"
Gu Yi respectfully accepted the Evil Slayer Blade, which, although it was only a long blade, gave him a sense of weight as if it were heavier than a thousand jun.
Immediately,
Gu Yi took the Evil Slayer Blade and departed.
After Gu Yi left, Gu Qingfeng continued to comprehend Martial Arts, with the powerful aura of True Intent rampant in the Grinding Blade Hall. If any Divine Weapon felt such a force of True Intent, it would tremble ever so slightly.

If a cultivator capable of understanding True Intent were to step into the Grinding Blade Hall, they would discover that the Divine Weapons, under the day and night shine of Gu Qingfeng’s True Intent, were beginning to develop a bit of sentience on their own. Moreover, each Divine Weapon was emitting a terrifying aura.
Such a level of Divine Weapons, any single one placed outside would be enough to drive people mad.
However,
before the Evil Slayer Blade,
these Divine Weapons seemed rather insignificant.
...
In the following days,
Gu Qingfeng remained in seclusion.
Elsewhere, Gu Yi had already carried the Evil Slayer Blade to the prefecture, handing it over to Gu Yang, and also relayed Gu Qingfeng’s message word for word.
Upon hearing this,
Gu Yang’s face instantly brightened with joy.
"Good, with this blade in hand, the Tianyang Sword Sect is nothing to worry about!"
If the presence of the Divine Martial Sect gave Gu Yang a ninety percent chance of eradicating the Tianyang Sword Sect, now with the Evil Slayer Blade in hand, he was completely assured.
Gu Yang absolutely trusted Gu Qingfeng’s words.
The next day,
the army set out.
A total of one million three hundred thousand soldiers.
Gu Yang left three hundred thousand to guard Taishan County, while the remaining one million marched mightily towards Nanyang County.
This news once released,
sent a tremor through the entirety of Nanyang County.
Upon hearing of Gu Yang’s arrival, numerous large and small powers were filled with deep unease in their hearts.
A person’s reputation casts a long shadow.
The renown of Gu Yang, the Guangyang Prince, needless to say, was widely recognized, and even more so was the terrifying prominence of the Martial Arts Saint backing him.
Ever since Gu Qingfeng struck down that blow outside the city of Guangyang Prefecture, the entire Guangyang Prefecture subtly became associated with a Martial Arts Holy Land, where many martial artists went to comprehend the indomitable Blade Intent that lingered on.
Therefore,
with this development,
the reputation of Guangyang Prefecture had grown even stronger.
As the Guangyang Prince, Gu Yang’s fame had risen in tandem.
—
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ leads an army of a million to attack Nanyang County, with numerous powers surrendering to him!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’s’ influence has grown substantially!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ gains enormous fame for his astonishing military achievements!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ has been attacked by Innate Grandmasters *3!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ slaughters Marrow Cleansing Realm martial artists *7!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ slaughters Bone Refining Realm martial artists *43!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ slaughters court soldiers *669!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ has an epiphany in battle, making his Domineering Blade Slash even more profound!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ has an epiphany in battle, slightly refining his cultivation!"
"Your scion ’Gu Yang’ slaughters court soldiers *1236!"
"Your scion..."
...
The moment Gu Yang launched the warfare, a barrage of text refreshed on the information panel.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the content, yet his expression remained eerily calm.
With the start of the war,
slaughter was destined to continue without cessation.
When he saw that Gu Yang was attacked by Innate Grandmasters, Gu Qingfeng did not feel too surprised.
After all, with Gu Yang’s attack on Nanyang County, many forces’ interests were at stake, and even if they feared the Gu Family Master behind him, in such circumstances, they would fight with their backs against the wall, desperate as a cornered dog.
However,
Gu Qingfeng was not overly concerned.
After all, Gu Yang had Hidden Guards by his side, and even if Innate Grandmasters made a move, it was difficult for them to pose a threat to him.
Moreover, with the support of the Divine Martial Sect and other powerful allies, Gu Yang had already amassed a rather formidable force.
Indeed.
It was the support of the powerful!
Ever since Gu Qingfeng killed Gu Yutian, Gu Yang’s renown had soared, and then with the Divine Martial Sect’s allegiance, his fame had reached its peak.
As a result,
many forces in the Martial World and Loose Cultivators began to flock to Gu Yang’s side to serve him.
Therefore,
even without counting the Hidden Guards, the power in Gu Yang’s hands was quite impressive.
But still,
the absolute loyalty of the Hidden Guards could spare many troubles.
Other forces that had come to pledge allegiance, even those from the Divine Martial Sect, could not be trusted entirely.
In the end,
the world ultimately revolves around interests.
So-called loyalty is simply a matter of not having enough chips for betrayal.
In the case of the Hidden Guards, there was no need to worry about these issues.
Watching the continuous stream of text on the information panel, Gu Qingfeng could tell just from what was written between the lines how fierce the war in Nanyang County had become.
The scent of blood was already hitting him full in the face.
However,
as intense as it might be,
it appeared that in this war, Gu Yang held an absolute advantage.
At this rate, it would not take long for him to completely take over the entire Nanyang County.
