Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The New Manor Master

    Nine Curves Road.

    It had been two or three years.

    Gu Qingfeng once again stepped into this place.

    Compared to before, the sinister aura of the Nine Curves Road had become even more intense. It was as if this place truly was a forbidden realm for living beings, permeated everywhere with the aura of desolation.

    Gu Qingfeng looked ahead into the void, where a Buddha''s phantom sat cross-legged, as if thousands of souls knelt and worshipped beneath him. This scene, which should have been utterly sacred, was now pervaded by eerie and strange vibes.

    Because the Buddha was bleeding, none of his body retained any hint of sanctity or grandeur; only decay and rot were present. The once golden body of the Buddha had now turned putrid.

    Underneath him, the thousands of believers also seemed like walking corpses.

    In the instant he looked at the Evil Buddha, their bloodied, hollow eyes met his.

    In that moment,

    a terrifying psychic power crushed down upon him, making Gu Qingfeng feel an urge to kneel and submit. His blood and energy seemed to burst forth uncontrollably.

    In the next breath,

    Gu Qingfeng''s thoughts were like a knife.

    He completely severed the psychic power and pulled himself out from the Nine Curves Road, his eyes filled with even more horror as he looked at the Evil Buddha.

    "This Evil Spirit''s strength has grown even stronger!" said Gu Qingfeng. He had thought, having advanced to the Perfection level of the Fifth Realm of Refining Organ, and only a step away from becoming a Master, that he could narrow the gap with the Evil Buddha.

    Unexpectedly,

    the strength of the Evil Buddha had grown even more terrifying.

    Gu Qingfeng was unsure whether this was due to the blood sacrifices done by Pei Jing, or if the Evil Buddha''s growth was naturally this alarming.

    However,

    he could see that

    the Evil Buddha was currently in a stage of transformation.

    Once the Evil Buddha completed its transformation, it would undoubtedly leave the Nine Curves Road.

    At that time,

    the whole of Guangyang Prefecture might be devastated.

    After casting a deep look at the Evil Buddha, Gu Qingfeng turned and left without a moment''s hesitation.

    The power of the Evil Buddha was not something he could contend with right now, not to mention the currently transforming Evil Buddha, let alone the one from before.

    Therefore,

    Gu Qingfeng left without any hesitation.

    —

    Gu Family Manor.

    "How does the court have the righteousness to be revered by all under the heavens!?"

    "What will you do?"

    Gu Qingfeng''s eyes slightly narrowed.

    Gu Yang spoke solemnly, "The world is corrupt, the cosmos is murky, it is time for someone to step forward and cleanse the universe. Presently, although the various rebel armies seem strong, they are actually no different from the likes of Pei Jing.

    If these people obtain the world, it will not change in the slightest."

    With that said,

    Gu Yang seemed to have made a decision and bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng.

    "Your son dares to contend with the heroes of this world!"

    "Are you planning a rebellion?"

    Gu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, then shook his head.

    "Don''t even mention you; even the entire Gu Family Manor isn''t qualified to vie for the world.

    Moreover, if such actions fail, they will result in an irreversible doom, remember this!"

    Upon hearing these words,

    Gu Yang''s expression remained unchanged, "Ultimately, someone must stand out in this world, despite the dangers, your son wants to attempt it.

    Furthermore, I understand the concerns you''ve mentioned, so I do not plan to act immediately. Instead, I will first secretly accumulate and nurture some strength, only making my move when the time is ripe!"

    Seeing Gu Yang''s resolute expression, Gu Qingfeng looked deeply at him, then slightly nodded.

    "As you said, the order of the world has already decayed, even changing dynasties wouldn''t differ, but you must understand, the root of this problem is not within the court, but within the magicians and the evil spirits.

    As long as the magicians are not eradicated, and the evil spirits are not wiped out, the world will remain as it is."

    "If you want to stand out and be the person who reestablishes the rules and order, then you are destined to be an enemy to all the magicians of the world."

    Gu Yang''s expression remained firm, and he spoke solemnly, "This path is perilous, but your son still wishes to try!"

    "Good!"

    Gu Qingfeng nodded.

    "From today onwards, you are the manor master of Gu Family Manor. You may allocate all resources in the manor as you deem fit, but I must tell you, the Immortal Sect is not as simple as you think.

    The top spirit-controlling realm magicians are already equivalent to master-level martial artists.

    And within these Immortal Sects, there are definitely existences beyond the spirit-controlling realm.

    If you wish to vie for the world, you must have enough strong forces in your hands; this power cannot be satisfied by just one or two masters!"

    "Your son understands!"

    Gu Yang bowed deeply.

    Seeing this.

    Gu Qingfeng then said, "Good, I will take some people to Liuyun Prefecture in the next few days, and you should stay here to officially take over the affairs of the manor!"
