Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Bestowing the Gu Surname

    ?

    The matter of Gu Family Manor was just a small interlude.

    The issues there were resolved, and the subsequent progress was extremely fast.

    In less than ten days'' time.

    Gu Family Manor had been completely constructed.

    The next day.

    Gu Qingfeng packed up the family and moved out of White Stone City to settle in the newly built Gu Family Manor.

    For this occasion.

    Gu Qingfeng also specially held a grand banquet, inviting various forces to come.

    After all, the Gu Family was now recognized by White Stone Dao as the number one power, even in the whole Guangyang Prefecture, they were famously so.

    Any forces that received the news-who would dare not to give the Gu Family some respect? After three days of festivities.

    Gu Family Manor regained its tranquility.

    And then.

    Gu Qingfeng began to reform the Gu Family Manor with great vigor.

    First.

    Gu Qingfeng established both an Inner Hall and an Outer Hall.

    The Inner Hall was for the future direct lineage of the Gu Family and those disciples who were granted the Gu surname they alone could enter the Inner Hall.

    As for the Outer Hall, it was for all the original guards and subsequent other non-direct descendants and disciples not given the Gu surname.

    After that.

    Gu Yang became the Master of the Inner Hall.

    Meng Peng, in turn, became the Master of the Outer Hall.

    And then.

    Gu Qingfeng also established a Law Enforcement Hall to oversee the entire Gu Family Manor.

    Therefore.

    The role of Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was also held by Gu Yang.

    After all-

    The Gu Family was short on people.

    Plus, with such an important position as the Law Enforcement Hall, Gu Qingfeng naturally could not entrust it to an outsider.

    Thus.

    The Gu Family was renamed to Gu Family Manor, and Gu Qingfeng changed his own title from Family Head to manor master.

    It wasn''t until this moment.

    That the Gu Family truly became a power in the Martial World.

    "The Gu Family, for now, will have the Inner, Outer, and Law Enforcement Halls, with the current focus on developing the Outer Hall. Among those in the Outer Hall, if there are those with decent talent and sufficient loyalty, they may be offered the Gu surname and admitted into the Inner Hall."

    Inside the main hall of Gu Family Manor, Gu Qingfeng said this as his gaze fell on Meng Peng.

    "Meng Peng, you have followed me for almost ten years, and I have seen your loyalty throughout these years."

    "Therefore, today I have decided to grant you the Gu surname. Are you willing?"

    Naturally, Gu Qingfeng would not be careless.

    Stepping into the Demon Suppression Prison,

    One could see that it was lined with Luminous Pearls on both sides for illumination.

    Inside the prison were three Golden Coffins.

    One of the Golden Coffins was slightly larger, while the other two were one size smaller.

    Inside the larger coffin, shockingly, was the sealed Shadow Demon; the two smaller coffins were temporarily forged by Gu Qingfeng for unforeseen needs in the future. After all, gold was necessary for suppressing Evil Spirits. If an Evil Spirit were to appear, it would be too late to forge something to suppress it on short notice.

    Therefore,

    It was best to forge them in advance, as they might be needed any day.

    Gu Qingfeng walked up to the Golden Coffin that sealed the Shadow Demon. At that moment,

    the coffin trembled slightly, as if something within was fiercely trying to break out, but due to

    the chains holding it fixed, it wasn''t truly shaken.

    "What exactly is an Evil Spirit, and can it truly not be killed?"

    Gu Qingfeng murmured to himself.

    The immortality of Evil Spirits.

    That was a legend that had existed since ancient times.

    Both the Spirit Summoning Treasure Skills and the Longevity Dao Scripture recorded that Evil

    Spirits could not be killed, only sealed using special methods.

    But at the same time,

    The Spirit Summoning Treasure Skills held another record.

    Evil Spirits were not immortal; only an Evil Spirit could kill another Evil Spirit.

    Therefore,

    Some later tried to perform Evil Refining into the body, attempting to gain the power of Evil

    Spirits in order to achieve the purpose of killing them.

    But unfortunately, Becoming a Magician through Evil Refining did indeed give people great power, but sadly,

    this power still could not kill an Evil Spirit.

    It seemed that after Refining Evil into the body, the power of the Evil Spirit was not pure enough. Only a truly liberated Evil Spirit that had recovered from suppression could kill

    another of its kind.

    So,

    This was somewhat contradictory.

    "Evil Spirits are not immortal... Strictly speaking, it''s not that they are truly immortal; it''s

    just that Evil Spirits can only be killed by other Evil Spirits. Nothing else has the potential to

    kill an Evil Spirit!"

    "But in this world, how can there truly be something that cannot be killed? Since an Evil Spirit can kill another Evil Spirit, there must be a reason for it."

    "If the key to this can be found, perhaps the legend of the invincibility of Evil Spirits will be

    completely debunked-"

    Gu Qingfeng''s eyes flickered, and as all the information about Evil Spirits passed through his mind, he already had some ideas.
