Chapter 59 Gu Congxing's hand clenched the hilt of the sword, and the veins were exposed...
"Something happened to the Gu family...?!"
Gu Congxing stared at the line of blood words in the spiritual letter, then moved his eyes down to the signature.
——“Look at your shadow”.
Gu Ying...that was the shadow guard that Gu Mingting had been training since he was a child.
Gu Ying was picked up by Gu Mingting from a village that was massacred by demons. She has a gloomy personality and is loyal. She always handles the dirty work for Gu Mingting.
Moreover, this person's identity is extremely secretive. If Gu Mingting had not sent Gu Ying to protect him once, even Gu Congxing would probably not know what this person looks like.
Even Gu Ying has come out. It seems that Gu Mingting must be in danger.
"Master, something has happened to the Gu family. I must rush back immediately." Gu Congxing looked at Chen Mu and spoke anxiously.
Chen Mu nodded to him without hesitation.
"I'm with you."
“Master…”
Master was incredibly powerful, his mere presence capable of swaying the outcome of battles, and he was often sought out by various factions. However, he disdained conflict and had never participated in the internal strife among the various aristocratic families and sects.
He was willing to break the convention for himself.
Gu Congxing's expression was touched. He took a step closer to Chen Mu, but heard another cold voice coming from behind him.
"I can go with you."
Gu Congxing looked back in surprise, only to see Xiao Wangyou holding a sword and looking at him.
He looked serious, and it seemed that he was determined to go to Gu's.
Gu Congxing thought about what he had said before about investigating the Gu family, and knew that even if he disagreed, Xiao Wangyou would probably go there on his own.
Since that’s the case, it would be better to let him go along and increase our combat strength.
"Then thank you very much." Gu Congxing nodded slightly to Xiao Wangyou and summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword.
He turned to Jiang Li and the two Jiang Clan elders and said, "The situation is critical. Can we borrow the ancient formation from the Hundred Immortals Valley?"
"This..." The Great Elder looked hesitant, but Jiang Li had already taken a step forward and nodded in agreement.
"We've offended each other many times before, and besides, the noble families have always helped each other. How could we refuse?"
Jiang Li said this to Gu Congxing, but turned back to look at the first elder and the second elder.
The two men fell into silence with different expressions. Jiang Li immediately summoned his spirit sword and leaped forward.
"Let me give you a ride!"
"Thank you!" Gu Congxing nodded to her gratefully, and immediately flew towards Baixian Valley with Shen Mu and Xiao Wangyou on his sword.
In the darkness of the night, the cold wind was biting.
Following the dim moonlight, everyone arrived at the heart of Baixian Valley.
Jiang Li landed first, squatted down and touched the edge of the formation, and spiritual power surged around his body.
This giant teleportation formation can also be activated by ordinary cultivators, but it will consume a lot of spiritual energy and time. However, when it is used by Jiang Li, who is well versed in formations, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
In just a moment, a bright green light appeared in the giant formation.
"Everyone, that's enough."
Jiang Li stood up and withdrew the spiritual power from his wrist.
After thanking her, Gu Congxing was about to follow his master and Xiao Wangyou into the formation, but Jiang Li stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang?"
Jiang Li and Gu Congxing looked at each other, and his slightly stunned face was reflected in her beautiful eyes.
She was silent for a moment, then spoke in the deep night.
"Friend Gu, do you still remember that promise?"
——It was the promise I made to her when I asked her about the Forgetfulness Vine Pattern.
Gu Congxing nodded slightly.
Jiang Li raised the corners of her lips slightly, but her face was pale and haggard, and her smile was not as gentle and charming as before, but rather had a bitter taste for no reason.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I have checked the formation left by Xiao Zhou many times and I will never make a mistake. The word 'Gu' must have been left by him."
Without waiting for Gu Congxing's response, she continued, "I know the Gu Clan is a reputable and upright sect, but with so many disciples from each clan, it's hard to guarantee there won't be some who slip through the net. Now that chaos has broken out within the Gu Clan, I think this is no coincidence."
The moonlight was reflected in her eyes, and there was a shocking chill in the clarity.
"Gu Daoyou, please."
"No matter who is behind this... please help Xiao Zhou get revenge!!"
Gu Congxing was shocked.
Jiang Li's intention couldn't be more obvious.
He looked solemn and nodded solemnly to Jiang Li.
"I will definitely not let you down."
Jiang Li smiled again, raised his hand and pushed him directly into the formation.
“Swish——”
A dazzling green light suddenly appeared, and the entire giant formation was immersed in bright light.
Gu Congxing looked back and saw Jiang Li was just a vague shadow not far away.
But there was still a resounding and clear voice that reached each of their ears——
"May your military fortune flourish."
***
Visit Beizhou and Longgu Mountain.
In the main peak of the Gu family, the originally magnificent Four Symbols Martial Arts Arena was in chaos.
The monsters roared, the monks screamed, and the battle continued in a melee until one of them died.
"Damn it!" Gu Baichuan repelled the high-level demon beast in front of him with a single sword strike and shouted to the disciples behind him, "Defend the Gan and Kun gates! Don't let the demons escape to the outer peaks!"
"yes!"
Several disciples immediately formed a sword formation and blocked the demons who were trying to escape from the training ground.
"Flowing Clouds, Myriad Things—"
The sharp sword intent flew out with tremendous spiritual pressure, cutting the distorted monsters into two halves.
Gu Baichuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked up at the two figures on the top of the main peak.
One of them is the demon king who looks down on everything - Kong Xian.
The other one is the elder who was supposed to fight alongside them, the traitor Gu Tai! !
The majestic and burly Gu Tai hung high in the air, his eyes gloomy and cold.
"Damn traitor, he actually colluded with the demons to rebel. His crime is truly unforgivable!"
Anger was boiling in Gu Baichuan's chest. He was about to fly to the top of the mountain on his sword, but he saw a monster rushing towards him from the right!
He immediately used his sword to block, but the monster didn't stop at all. Even after being hit on the wings, it still opened its bloody mouth towards him!
“Oops!”
He immediately stepped back, but it was too late!
“Swish!!”
Just as the monster was about to bite his arm, a spiritual sword struck like lightning and pierced the beast's chest directly!
Gu Baichuan let out a breath of fear and looked at the person who came.
"Senior Brother Gu Qing?"
He immediately walked towards Gu Qing, thanked him, and asked, "Brother, how are the Zhen Sect and Xun Sect doing?"
"It's all right. It's been stabilized. The other four gates haven't been breached either."
Gu Qing retracted his sword and scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes.
"Are there any disciples here who were injured or killed?"
Gu Baichuan said, "Fortunately, we have more people. Although some have been injured, no one has died. Brother, Elder Gu Xun was sent out earlier, and that bastard Gu Tai rebelled. But where is Elder Gu Ji?"
"The patriarch is trapped now and needs his rescue!"
After hearing what he said, Gu Qing's bright and handsome face turned gloomy and he remained silent.
A disciple nearby killed the ferocious beast and, upon hearing their conversation, approached and asked, "Didn't Elder Ji already go? I saw him heading towards the underground palace..."
"What?!!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing burst into a loud shout, and immediately flew away on his sword in horror.
Gu Baichuan and the disciple looked at his receding figure in surprise, and then stood there looking at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, a strange laugh suddenly came from the sky.
“Hahahahahaha!!”
Demon Lord Kongxian was covered in a black robe, with a pale face that was half human skin and half withered bones. He stepped on the plaque of the Gu family's main hall and crushed the stele engraved with "The sword washes the mountains and rivers, and the light shines on the sun and the moon".
"Gu, hahahaha! It's nothing more than that!"
"Just some monsters, do you really think you can take a breath?"
While laughing strangely, he inserted his hand directly into his chest!
He pursed his lips and pulled out a bloody bone blade.
Gu Tai watched his actions indifferently, but when his eyes swept across the broken "Guang Zhao Sun and Moon" stone tablet, his expression paused slightly.
The Demon Lord waved the bone blade in his hand, and instantly the demonic aura surged, and the monsters below were all eager to fight!
Gu Baichuan and other disciples stood back to back, their cold eyes gazing at the twisted and approaching demon beast.
Fortunately, the number of disciples joining the Gu family has increased several times in the past year, and there are many powerful independent cultivators who have already reached the Jindan stage.
Otherwise, the overwhelming number of magical beasts alone would have been too much for the Gu family disciples to handle.
But this is not a long-term solution. The Demon Lord has not made a move yet, and Gu Tai has not taken action yet, but the disciples' spiritual power is constantly being consumed.
It would be great if the head of the family, Gu Mingting, could be here.
Even if he wasn't the Patriarch, if it was the Second Young Master Gu who caught him in the Immortal Sect Competition—
Just as he was thinking this, the monster in front of him suddenly launched an attack!
The giant beast as big as a hill roared and approached. In an instant, the disciples felt that the sky was blocked out before their eyes!
“Flowing Clouds, Floating Light——!!”
A golden sword light suddenly came from behind, carrying endless light, splitting the group of monsters into pieces! !
“This, this is!”
Gu Baichuan turned around in surprise and joy, and indeed saw the silver-robed figure.
He held the sword across his chest, his jade-like face filled with murderous intent.
"The Endless Art of the Phantom Sword——"
He raised his sword high, and golden spiritual power surged like broken gold, condensing into dozens of sharp long blades.
"kill--!!"
He swung his sword, and the golden blade fell like a meteor!
"roar!!"
The monsters struggled to fight back, but were still hit by the spiritual blades and fell down with a roar.
In the blink of an eye, all the monsters were destroyed.
Gu Congxing stood in a pile of broken gold and dust, holding a sword, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Senior Gu Congxing!!"
Gu Baichuan exclaimed, and the disciples around him all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Gu Congxing heard the call, he looked carefully and saw a round-faced monk who looked quite familiar.
"Who are you……?"
"Senior! I'm Gu Baichuan. Don't you remember? You were the one who saved me when I was fighting the Demon Lord during the Immortal Sect Competition!"
Gu Congxing recalled that he had indeed saved a young Gu family member who was attacked by a monster during a battle, and immediately nodded slightly to him.
Gu Congxing looked around with a pair of glass eyes surging with golden spiritual power, and asked in a deep voice.
"What on earth is going on? Why are the demons so rampant that they dare to run from Fushen Forest to the Gu family's territory!"
He originally thought it was a power struggle within the clan, but unexpectedly, there was an invasion from the demon clan!
Gu Baichuan's eyes were burning with anger again.
"It's the elder... no, it's the traitor Gu Tai!! He broke our protective barrier and colluded with the demons!"
"Not only that, he also stole the secret treasure Yaoguang and created a passage in the Fushen Forest, allowing the Demon Lord Kongxian and hundreds of demonic beasts to escape!"
"If the Patriarch hadn't intervened in time to turn the tide, I'm afraid all the monsters in the Demon Realm would have escaped!"
Gu Congxing clenched the hilt of the sword, his veins showing.
His eyes gleamed coldly, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How is the Patriarch now? Where are that damned traitor and that devilish beast?!"
Gu Baichuan said angrily, "When the clan leader was closing the passage, Gu Tai attacked him from behind and he is now imprisoned in the underground palace!"
Gu Congxing was furious and was about to rush to the underground palace, but then he heard Gu Baichuan continue, "Senior, Gu Tai and the Demon Lord are at the top of the mountain—"
"No need to make a fuss, we are already here."
A cold voice suddenly came from behind, and Gu Congxing immediately turned around with a sword in hand.
Gu Tai said this and stood silently not far away.
Beside him, the Demon Lord Kongxian pointed his long blade at Gu Congxing.
"You, that move you just made was really ostentatious—"
A dark demonic aura surged, and he grinned with pleasure, his eyes flashing with a dark, cruel light.
"Then let me try out your heart!"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly attacked!
Gu Congxing immediately resisted with his sword, and the Whale-Slaying Sword collided with the bone blade, making a clanging sound!
“Buzz!”
The Whale-Slaying Sword trembled violently. Gu Congxing gathered all his spiritual power in his arms and gritted his teeth to resist it.
It turns out to be another demon king with the ability to leave the body!
There was a huge gap between their cultivation levels, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but his expression remained unchanged.
It's almost time for him to come back——
“Zheng!!”
In the darkness, an ice-blue light struck the bone blade like lightning!
The moment it touched the spirit sword, layers of frost covered the bone blade, and the next moment, it shattered into pieces like ice spikes!
"What?!"
Kong Xian cried out in surprise. Just as he was about to take a step back, the spirit sword chased him and pierced straight into his abdomen!
He wrinkled his face in pain, looked at the spirit sword in his belly and let out a low cry of disbelief.
“This sword…?!”
Icy spiritual power swept over from behind. Gu Congxing looked up and his eyes lit up.
“Master!”
Chen Mudian landed beside Gu Congxing, his long silver hair fluttering, and the air became colder.
His spiritual power moved slightly, and the Zhuoguang Sword was recalled in his hand, pointing directly at Gu Tai and Kong Xian who looked fearful.
"The demonic beasts from Kanmen, Limen, Genmen, and Duimen have all been annihilated." Chen Mu said calmly, "With Xiao Wangyou's help, Zhenmen and Xunmen can also be pacified."
His ice-blue pupils swept forward, filled with cold murderous intent.
"Next, it's your turn."

The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angels for your support. I will update more tomorrow!! [花][加油]
The design of the Gu family martial arts arena was inspired by the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, where two yin and yang give rise to four images, and the four images give rise to the eight trigrams: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.
