"Your descendant ''Gu Xuan'' practiced Gu Family Boxing and had an epiphany, increasing his strength!"

"Your descendant ''Gu Yang'' led a large army to conquer a city, his fame spread far and wide..."

...

Rows of text refreshed on the information board, and Gu Qingfeng observed the contents with a considerably calm demeanor.

Taoyun Road!

Red Flame Sect!

In the past, Gu Qingfeng would have been quite wary of the Red Flame Sect.

After all, as a millennia-old sect, the Red Flame Sect''s heritage was not ordinary.

However.

Times had changed.

In Gu Qingfeng''s eyes, the Red Flame Sect was nothing special now.

With five Peak of Innate experts at Gu Yang''s side, dealing with a Red Flame Sect was naturally not a problem.

Not to mention one Red Flame Sect.

Even ten Red Flame Sects, he believed, could be sufficiently suppressed.

Therefore.

Gu Qingfeng wasn''t too concerned.

Nowadays.

He wasn''t always looking at the information board.

Because.

Gu Peng had already returned.

He had brought back a dozen boxes of Martial Arts Secret Manuals.

Now.

These Martial Arts Secret Manuals were all placed in the Grinding Blade Hall, available for Gu Qingfeng''s day-and-night study and contemplation.

To create a Perfect Martial Arts.

Gu Qingfeng''s purpose was not merely for the future generations of the Gu Family, but more importantly, it was to carve out a path for himself.

After all.

Universal Martial Arts culminated at Great Grandmaster.

Throughout history.

No one had ever broken the limit of the Great Grandmaster.

At least.

From what Gu Qingfeng understood at his current level, Great Grandmaster was the ultimate limit of Martial Arts.

"Unfortunately, I, Gu Qingfeng, have never been one to follow rules, nor do I believe the world''s unspoken rules are necessarily correct."

Gu Qingfeng sneered, his palm radiating True Qi, and the letter instantly turned to ash.

Following that,

Gu Qingfeng casually took a sheet of white paper and left just one character on it, handing it to the Hidden Guard scout.

"Take this item to Young Master Yang!"

"Yes!"

The Hidden Guard scout received the order and immediately turned to leave.

Subsequently,

Gu Qingfeng resumed his contemplation of Martial Arts.

Now, unlike before, his body emitted a piercing killing intent that enveloped the vast Grinding Blade Hall. All the Divine Weapons inside trembled slightly, as if in fear, or perhaps excitement.

After a long while,

the killing intent gradually subsided.

...

Three days later,

the Hidden Guard scout once again met Gu Yang.

"What did Father say?"

Gu Yang immediately asked.

The Hidden Guard scout presented a letter with both hands and respectfully said, "This is what the old manor master instructed me to bring to the Manor Master!"

When alone, the Hidden Guards referred to Gu Qingfeng as ''Your Excellency,'' but in front of Gu Yang, they naturally called him the old manor master.

After all,

the Hidden Guards were officially loyal to Gu Yang.

Of course,

Gu Yang was not particularly concerned with these titles. Upon opening the letter brought by the Hidden Guard scout, a strong blade Intent instantly radiated from the unfolded paper.

This blade Intent was extremely terrifying. When Gu Yang laid eyes on it, he even felt a slight sting in his eyes and found it somewhat difficult to look directly at it.

Only after a moment, when the blade Intent calmed down, could he clearly see the content written on the paper.

Kill!

A single, simple word.

But upon seeing this word, Gu Yang understood Gu Qingfeng''s thoughts.

"Seems Father''s idea is just like mine!"

Gu Yang slightly nodded.

He was also not fond of the Red Flame Sect.

However,

now that the Red Flame Sect was willing to submit to the Gu Family Manor, eradicating them at this time would certainly mean tearing away the last veil of pretense and standing openly against all the Magicians in the world.

It is well-known.

Throughout history, those who managed to securely hold the supreme status in the world were invariably backed by either Immortal Sects or noble families.

In other words,

the rulers of the world were supported by these Magicians.

The warring states at the end of dynasties were, in effect, a game among Magicians, seeing who could ultimately prevail.

It follows from this,

how high the status of Magicians was.
