C27 The Crisis Is upon Us

The crisis is upon us.

The chief of Chu Mansion was shocked. He had personally witnessed Guu Feng's corpse being carried out of the Chu Mansion. Even throwing Guu Feng to the Chaotic Burial Mound was his intention.

But now, this guard who kept whipping him looked exactly the same as Guu Feng. Even his age was roughly the same. Could it be that this was just a coincidence?

"If Guu Feng really didn't die and became a guard in City Lord Mansion, I'm afraid that it will be detrimental to Chu family. No, I have to tell the patriarch about this!"

The steward of Chu Mansion thought to himself.

After the end of the street, the chief steward of Chu Mansion was brought back to the Chu Mansion by the people of the Chu family. However, after this incident, the reputation of the Chu Mansion had spread far and wide.

In the Chu Mansion, the chief steward was supported by a servant and told him everything that had happened today.

"Are you sure that guard is Guu Feng?"

Chu Chengfang's expression was somewhat serious.

"I'm not sure, but the guard's appearance and age are exactly the same as Guu Feng's voice when he was beaten to death. I think he might be faking his death."

The Chu Mansion's supervisor's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. After being whipped by Guu Feng for over two hundred times, he could no longer stand. If it wasn't for the two servants supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

"Alright, you can leave now!"

Chu Chengfang waved his hand and the Chu Mansion's chief steward was carried away by two servants.

"Dad, this Guu Feng isn't dead? “

Chu Zhen had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Even if he's still alive, I'll just kill him once more! “

Chu Fangcheng's expression was savage.

"Find someone to investigate and see if this guy is really that trash, Guu Feng. “

After saying this to Chu Zhen, Chu Zhen responded, turned around and left to settle the matter.

Outside the Floating Cloud City. At the city gate.

It was late at night. Black clouds occasionally blocked the moonlight, causing the already dark city gate to appear and disappear.

At the city gate, eight city guards stood on both sides of the city gate, holding long halberds in their hands. They stood there, allowing the cool breeze to blow against them, but they did not move at all, as if they were copper men guarding the city.

Their eyes would occasionally patrol the surroundings, but the place they saw the most was still the endless darkness in front of the city gate.

It was as if there was a pair of cold eyes watching their every move in the darkness, causing them to not dare to relax their vigilance.

Whoosh!

At that instant, a black figure charged toward the entrance of the city at a shocking speed like a ghost.

The weak moonlight was blocked by the dark clouds, making the dark sky even darker.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the black shadow that rushed towards the city gate had long disappeared. The eight city guards did not notice it at all.

"Guu Feng, I'm coming to take your life!"

"If you only hurt me, then forget it. Blame yourself for taking something that you should not have! “

Within the city gate, in a dark corner near the city gate, a black clothed figure whispered.

His voice was unusually cold. If Guu Feng was here, he would definitely be able to tell that this man was the Ye Han who had escaped with severe injuries.

The noisy street was filled with people. More than ten servants of the Chu Mansion, who were wearing grey clothes and small hats, were driving ten carriages slowly towards the City Lord Mansion.

On the carriages were extremely heavy wooden boxes, which were wrapped by a red cloth. In the middle of the cloth was the shape of a flower. The pedestrians who passed by saw this scene. They immediately guessed that this was the betrothal gift they got from City Lord Mansion.

Ten carts of betrothal gifts. The Chu Mansion had also given them a heavy gift. When many people saw this scene, they revealed a look of envy.

The news that the young master of the Chu Mansion was going to marry a daughter of the City Lord Mansion in two days spread like wildfire. In less than a morning, everyone in the city had heard about it.

In the City Lord Mansion, Guu Feng was cultivating in the Spiritual Medicine Warehouse. The job of guarding the Spiritual Medicine Warehouse seemed boring, but without looking at the expression on his face, he could be considered a free man.

Because of this, as it was a forbidden area, no one would disturb him, but Guu Feng could cultivate in peace and improve his strength.

Furthermore, there were many kinds of spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Medicine Warehouse, and there were countless of them. Even if Guu Feng ate some of them, no one would notice.

Guu Feng had been cleaning books and books in Chu family's Compendium Pavilion for so many years, so he was well aware of the effects of all kinds of herbs.

With so many medicinal herbs, Guu Feng chose a few that were beneficial for consolidating his Qi and blood. He would consume a few of them every day. In just a few days' time, he had already broken through to the Martial Disciple realm and reached the Martial Disciple realm.

On this day, when it was noon, Guu Feng had just finished swallowing a spirit herb that could strengthen his qi and blood. In an instant, he felt a hot stream of air rushing through his body.

This stream of air was completely out of control. Guu Feng was shocked because under the impact of this stream of air, his already broken meridians even felt a tearing pain.

This kind of pain was like being sliced into thousands of pieces, as if someone had used a sharp knife to slice apart the flesh and bones on his body! It was also as if millions of insects were gnawing at his flesh and blood. That kind of pain... It penetrated deep into his bone marrow and into his soul, making it difficult for Guu Feng to bear it.

"Ah..."

Guu Feng couldn't help but growl, but just as he shouted, he gritted his teeth.

"You must bear with it at this moment, or I will die for sure!"

With this thought in his heart, he started to use the Long Life Technique to adjust his breathing and channel the hot air into his blood.

This hot air was the power of Qi and blood produced after swallowing the spirit medicine. It was extremely precious. Although it was dangerous to lose control of it, it would be a waste if it was easily discharged.

Enduring the intense pain, Guu Feng continued to circulate the Long Life Technique, trying to stabilize the power of Qi and blood.

About an hour later, Guu Feng opened his eyes. A bright light shot out from his eyes.

"Hu!"

He gently opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of foul air.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

He raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist.

"Have I finally broken through to the realm of martial artists? Although my meridians are severely damaged, my realm can still be improved. I just don't know if my cultivation will still increase after my meridians recover."

Guu Feng muttered softly. Just now, he had endured an hour of intense pain. During this period of time, he felt that he was about to die from the pain.

But everything had already passed. All of this was no longer important. What was important was that he had already advanced from a martial disciple to a martial artist.

Feeling an even stronger power than before, the flames of revenge in Guu Feng's heart became even more intense.

The day before the marriage between the young master of Chu Mansion and the daughter of City Lord Mansion, Guu Feng should rest.

After leaving City Lord Mansion, Guu Feng went straight to Chu Mansion on this free day.

He wandered around near the Chu Mansion. Due to Chu Zhen's wedding tomorrow, the Chu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and ribbons, and the security was relatively lax.

Even so, it was still very difficult to sneak into the ___.

After walking around two rounds outside, Guu Feng knew that there was no chance for him to escape. He was about to leave so that he wouldn't be discovered by the people of the Chu Mansion if he stayed for too long.

"En?"

Just as Guu Feng arrived at the entrance of Chu Mansion, a cold and gloomy Qi suddenly attracted his attention.

Following the Qi, Guu Feng saw the person he didn't want to see the most recently, and that person was Ye Han, who was severely injured by Guu Feng.

Ye Han was drinking in a restaurant. He seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at him. His eyes suddenly turned towards the entrance of the Chu Mansion, but he could see nothing but pedestrians passing by.

"Could it be my misconception?"

Ye Han picked up a cup of cold wine and drank it all in one gulp.

It was said that the restaurant was the best place to gather information, and Ye Han, who had come looking for fruitless things, had also come to try it out.

Sure enough, Ye Han heard a trace of clues about Guu Feng in the restaurant.

"Have you guys heard? The Guu Feng with his talent and spiritual root was actually the young master of Chu family, Chu Zhen!"

"Tch, you only just found out now. Now, the entire city knows about it. Furthermore, this Chu Zhen is about to marry the daughter of the city lord. Once the wedding is over, he will go to War Soul Academy!"

..." "

After finishing the cup of wine, Ye Han's eyes flashed with a cold light when he heard the noise from the people sitting next to him.

"Chu Zhen? Guu Feng?"

"I didn't expect you to have two names."

With a sinister smile, Ye Han exerted force in his hand and shattered the wine glass.
