When Gu Changyu arrived after receiving the news, he found Gu Changyi lying silently on the ground.

Her eyes, which had been brimming with tears, were wide open at this moment, almost bulging out of their sockets.

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Gu Changyu trembled all over, and didn't even have the courage to get closer to take a closer look.

"Qin Sheng!"

He roared, his gaze fierce, as if he wished she would devour him alive.

Qin Sheng didn't look at her.

She casually tossed aside the handkerchief, now stained with bright red blood, which she had just used to wipe her hands, and walked expressionlessly toward the arena.

Gu Yueming's eyes were full of worry, and she didn't have time to pay attention to Gu Changyu. She hurriedly chased after Qin Sheng.

Qin Zhao followed.

Only Qin Zheng didn't move.

The commotion here has become too big, and someone has even died. Now, not only Gu Changyu, but also people from various families have come out to check the situation.

Seeing Qin Sheng leave, their first reaction was to stop him.

After all, if someone is killed, regardless of the reason, there has to be an explanation and an account, right?

But before he could even reach out, he met his daughter's indifferent, emotionless eyes, and for no reason, a chill ran through him.

I stopped moving instinctively.

Especially when they saw Gu Changyi's gruesome death behind them, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

I dared not stop them.

She was terrified that she might end up like Gu Changyi.

They can choose not to stop him, but Gu Changyu cannot.

His father died early, and his mother remarried when he was a little over three years old. Now she has other children and has forgotten about him and his sister.

Since his grandfather, Gu Xiyuan, was always busy with family affairs, it can be said that Gu Changyu was raised by Gu Changyi when he was young.

Gu Changyi was only two years older than him and had been physically weak since childhood, unable to even cultivate. Yet he always protected her and was always the first to rush to her aid when anyone tried to bully them.

The saying "an elder sister is like a mother" is not an exaggeration at all.

Therefore, when Gu Changyu learned that Gu Xiyuan had been detained and imprisoned, he was only angry, but now he was on the verge of collapse.

Ignoring the vast disparity in strength between himself and his enemy, he drew his dagger and stabbed at Qin Sheng, who had already walked up to him.

But Qin Zheng, who appeared in front of him at some unknown time, grabbed his wrist and pulled him in front of Gu Changyi.

Look at it up close.

Gu Changyu saw the woman's hands and feet twisted in an eerie arc, and he saw her sunken sternum.

He was covered in blood and had countless wounds.

Gu Changyu's eyes were bloodshot with rage, wishing he could kill Qin Sheng as soon as possible!

But all the hatred, anger, regret, and pain came to an abrupt end when Qin Zheng reached out and touched behind Gu Changyi's ear, then suddenly pulled her away.

He was completely stunned.

Qin Zheng casually tossed aside the human skin mask made of some unknown material and said in a deep voice, "This is not Gu Changyi. The real Gu Changyi was given away by your grandfather as a bargaining chip to the power behind this woman."

"If you want revenge, if you want to settle scores, go find your grandfather."

Gu Changyu's eyes widened in disbelief at what he had just heard!

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible, my grandfather wouldn't do that!"

Qin Zheng gave a cold laugh.

He looked at the crowd gathered around him and raised his voice slightly, asking, "Do any of you know anyone who has suddenly disappeared or mysteriously died?"

They were all taken aback when the question suddenly came to them, and then they were shocked when they realized what was happening.

Believe it or not, there really is.

In recent years, the area behind the ancient martial arts world has been unstable, and it is often necessary to send ancient martial arts practitioners to suppress it. However, every time they go out, there are always a few people who disappear unexpectedly.

However, since there were only a few people, everyone assumed it was just an accident and didn't take it too seriously.

But now...

Everyone's gaze swept back and forth between the fake Gu Changyi and Qin Zheng, their hearts sinking slightly.

But now it seems that's not the case?

When people first heard about the Gu family's internal strife, some felt sympathy, others were angry, but because it didn't concern them personally, very few people truly took it to heart.

But things are different now.

When the fire spread to themselves, everyone's faces immediately darkened.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Does Your Excellency know something?"

Qin Zheng stayed behind specifically to expose the things that Black Prison and those families were doing behind the scenes, so as to thwart Black Prison's plans to continue targeting the ancient martial arts world.

Therefore, he did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

Qin Sheng had already returned to her seat.

She didn't speak or move, just sat there with her eyes slightly lowered, making Gu Yueming feel both heartache and helplessness.

Qin Zheng had told Qin Sheng about the entanglement between Qin Sheng and Hei Yu, but he only said that Hei Yu had been hunting Qin Sheng, without going into more detail.

She didn't know who "Mu Ji" was, but she knew that person must be very important to Qin Sheng.

Aside from their first official meeting, she hadn't seen Qin Sheng in such a withdrawn state, shutting herself off from everyone and everything, for a long time.

Gu Yueming was at a loss.

Qin Zhao vaguely realized something, but didn't know what to do.

He could only purse his lips and look at her.

The competition to narrow down the contest from 30 to 15 has ended, and the next round will be from 15 to 8.

The referee called out Qin Sheng's name again.

The opponent was an old acquaintance, Yuchi Feng.

fine.

Qin Sheng stood up and slowly walked towards the competition venue.

Based on his observations in the first two rounds of the competition, Yuchi Feng, though unwilling to admit it, had to acknowledge that, in terms of strength, he was likely no match for Qin Sheng.

But he must win this match!

A sinister glint flashed in Yuchi Feng's eyes. As soon as the referee shouted "Start," he immediately reached for his belt, intending to retrieve the item hidden there.

However, a slender, straight leg swept past him, and Yuchi Feng only had time to feel a piercing pain on his right cheek before he was sent flying sideways!

That angle, that force...

Yuchi Feng quickly calculated in his mind, and upon confirming that he would definitely fall outside the boundary line, he immediately widened his eyes.

Ignoring the pain, he tried his best to control his body by channeling his spiritual energy, but he couldn't even slow down. He could only watch helplessly as he rapidly approached the boundary line.

Yuchi Feng was filled with shame and anger, but he was at a loss for what to do.

Just when he thought he was going to be defeated in one move like Qin Sheng's opponents in the first two rounds, the girl's exquisite face appeared in his sight once again.

Qin Sheng stared at him indifferently.

Yuchi Feng vaguely realized something, and a chill ran down his spine.

"I admit it..."

With the word "loser" still on his lips, Qin Sheng leaped up and kicked Yuchi Feng in the opposite direction once again.

The scene from seven days ago has played out once again.

The difference is that last time, only Ye Fu and Cheng Rang were in the audience, but this time...
