Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Chaos

    As Gu Yang took over the Hidden Guard, a carriage carrying a squad of men had already left the Gu Family Manor without a trace.

    The interior of the carriage was luxuriously decorated, and the space was extremely spacious. Gu Qingfeng sat in the central seat, while Gu Peng sat at the bottom position.

    "What''s the situation in Liuyun Prefecture now?"

    "Ever since Divine Martial King Pei Jing broke through Liuyun Prefecture''s gates, his army marched in, and most areas of Liuyun Prefecture have fallen under Pei Jing''s control.

    Only a very few places and cities are still desperately holding on, hoping for imperial reinforcements.

    Unfortunately, it seems like the court has no intentions of supporting Liuyun Prefecture—"

    Gu Peng respectfully reported.

    Now, he had reached the Perfection of the Refining Organ realm, the white at his temples had completely turned back to black, showing no trace of age.

    This was the benefit of Refining Organ Perfection.

    A lifespan of two hundred years.

    Gu Peng''s physical condition had returned to his youthful prime, at the peak of his peak.

    "The court doesn''t plan to support Liuyun Prefecture?"

    Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

    Gu Peng said, "It''s said that there are some issues in the Central Plains, and now the court is at the end of its strength. The fall of the three-thousand-year-old dynasty seems imminent."

    "If the Taixuan Dynasty completely collapses, I''m afraid the situation in the world will deteriorate even more."

    "At that time, with warlords contending for power, our Gu Family Manor could also follow in the footsteps of other noble families and sects to support a side. If we could seize even a slim chance, that would be more than great!"

    By the end of his speech, Gu Peng''s eyes were filled with a fervent light.

    Any ancient sect or noble family with a legacy has its opportunities, such as the so-called Immortal Sects, which had supported many powers to ascend to the imperial throne.

    It''s not about the Gu Family Manor imitating those Immortal Sect families, but if it can support a force in this struggle for the world, it can also benefit greatly.

    Even if they ultimately failed, it didn''t matter.

    Because.

    Throughout the millennia, only one person has managed to sit on that throne, the rest being mere cannon fodder.

    However, these cannon fodder''s backing forces each had their fill of benefits.

    "The waters of this world are deep, and now our Gu Family Manor, without a Master to stand watch, doesn''t compare to those top-tier sects and noble families. And even if we had a Master, in the end, it''s a world of Magicians.

    The influence of Martial Artists is insignificant, and an ordinary Master also doesn''t qualify. At least a True Intent Master or a Great Grandmaster might stand a chance!"

    Gu Qingfeng''s eyes were profound as he slightly shook his head.

    Gu Peng said, "With the old manor master''s strength, breaking through to a Master and even a Great Grandmaster is certainly not an issue!"

    He had absolute confidence in his heart for Gu Qingfeng.

    This world.

    After all, speaks through strength.

    Gu Qingfeng had now entered Perfection in the Refining Organ Realm and comprehended the True Intent of a Master as well as achieved Perfect Bone Refining. As to the extent of his true strength—how advanced it might be—he himself was not certain.

    Master!

    Or perhaps, even more robust than an ordinary Master!

    At least.

    In the Martial World of Taishan County, Gu Qingfeng believed that even if there were those stronger than him, they wouldn''t be numerous.

    A mere Divine Fist Sect, if truly annihilated, wouldn''t likely stir up much turmoil.

    No one would offend a powerhouse comparable to a Master for the sake of a small sect like the Divine Fist Sect.

    Of course.

    If the Gu Family Manor were not strong enough, that would be a different matter altogether.

    This time, heading to Liuyun Prefecture, Gu Qingfeng did not bring too many people, just some Outer Hall Disciples and Gu Peng, the Outer Hall Master, following him.

    On their journey.

    Everyone had truly witnessed the chaos of troubled times.

    Refugees rose everywhere!

    Cannibalism out of desperation!

    Bones exposed in the wilderness, silence reigning over a thousand miles!

    This was the chaos of a true troubled era.

    To the upper echelons, it was merely a game of power and succession, but to the common folk, it was a genuine catastrophe.

    Seeing these sights only made Gu Qingfeng''s heart grow colder.

    These people were the truest reflection of the world. The so-called prosperity was nothing but a facade. The weak were swept along with the tide, struggling to survive at the very bottom.

    If he still were a common man, powerless as a tied-up chicken, his end would not have been much better than theirs.

    Furthermore.

    With the chaos of troubled times upon them, the people unable to make a living, with countless dying or being injured, it was also a time when the bizarre and sinister flourished, freely slaughtering and devouring the common people.

    Even those from Gu Family Manor faced attacks from bandit refugees on their journey, and even encountered the odd and the ghastly several times.

    Nonetheless.

    These bizarre entities were not powerful.

    In fact, there was no need for Gu Qingfeng to handle it personally—relying solely on Gu Peng''s strength at the peak of Refining Organ Realm was enough to slaughter all comers, whether they be refugee bandits or all sorts of oddities, all were easily annihilated by him.
