Gu Yifeng and his group were so arrogant that in less than half an incense stick's time, Zhuge Guan, the Grand Elder of the Three Pure Ones Alliance, rushed over. Upon seeing the leader, his expression changed drastically, and his pupils shrank slightly.
No matter how powerful this elder was, seeing his cultivation level improve so much and that he even had so many helpers behind him, his heart was filled with shock.
"Elder Zhuge, it's been a long time. I've come to keep our year-long promise. How should I put it? Should I thank Elder Zhuge for sparing my life back then?"
Gu Yifeng spoke calmly, his voice without any attempt to conceal it. As soon as he said this, the entire Sanqing City fell silent, and the cultivators on both sides of the street instantly dispersed, leaving an open space.
The disciples of the Three Pure Alliance reacted the fastest, surrounding and protecting their elders, their hands on the hilts of their swords, staring intently at Gu Yifeng and his group.
"Hehe, young friend, you are truly gifted. I never expected it. In that case, please come and have a chat in the alliance."
Zhuge Guan suppressed his displeasure and addressed the crowd. Gu Yifeng immediately took the lead, disregarding Zhuge Guan's feelings, and headed towards the headquarters of the Three Pure Ones Alliance.
Upon seeing Zhuge Guan, the half-step Dao Integration Realm elder behind Nangong Wan was the first to focus his attention on him, clearly someone who knew his background.
Led by Zhuge Guan, the group quickly entered the headquarters meeting hall of the Three Pure Ones Alliance and sat down in turn.
"Speak, Elder Zhuge, why did you bring me back?"
Gu Yifeng slightly raised his eyes and asked him.
"Naturally, it's about matters concerning the lower realm. As for the lower realm, you probably don't know much, and you might not even be able to find out anything. Not to mention Youzhou, the number of forces within the Xuandao Palace that know about this is no more than a handful, let alone the forces in other states."
"That's why this matter is even more closely guarded secret. I'm making an exception to explain it to you all today. First, there's a curse on the lower realm that almost no one can break. Young friend, now that you've come out, you should think about your background first."
Zhuge Guan gave a cold laugh and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng didn't change much, his expression remained calm, but he was indeed stunned for a moment. The reason was not because of the curse, but because he thought of his maternal grandmother, the sword immortal.
Nangong Wan frowned slightly upon hearing this. There are quite a few forces on the continent known as the Gu family, but Gu Yifeng is clearly not one of these families.
"Heh, trying to trick me? I'll investigate my background, of course, but that has little to do with the lower realm, does it? If I'm not mistaken, your plan to fleece the lower realm will probably fail if I don't cooperate, right?"
Gu Yifeng sneered, not in a hurry to reveal his maternal grandmother's story. The matter of the Sword Immortal was fabricated layer by layer under the old emperor's cover-up. Only old ministers like Chi Liancheng knew about the Sword Immortal.
"Enough. I knew this would be the outcome long ago. In the end, your influence only disrupted the balance of the lower realm. Once the laws of the lower realm are out of balance, you know the final consequences."
Zhuge Guan spoke calmly, without any embarrassment at being exposed, but the implication in his words caused everyone's expression to change.
The Four Extremes and the Nangong family were unaware of the so-called lower realm, but these words were undoubtedly an attempt to blackmail Gu Yifeng by taking lives in the lower realm.
"Since you've already said it, it seems I have no chance to refuse. So, tell me your request."
Gu Yifeng shrugged upon hearing this. He had anticipated Zhuge Guan's scheme long ago. Before coming here, he had guessed that Zhuge Guan would try to force him to submit in various ways. Rather than continuing to pester him, he decided to play along.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Guan showed little emotion. With a flick of his sleeve, he revealed his peak Taixu Realm strength and used a spatial teleportation technique to send Gu Yifeng and himself away from their original location.
As everyone reacted and tried to give chase, a sharp aura suddenly came from above, locking onto everyone present. It was the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation hidden underground by the Three Pure Ones Alliance.
With full power, killing someone at the Taixu Realm is still within reach. However, considering the backgrounds of these individuals, Zhuge Guan's purpose was simply to intimidate them.
"What should we do, my husband? My elder brother has been taken away!"
Bai Manman asked somewhat anxiously.
"Brother Feiran, what do you think about this matter...?"
Xuan Che was also somewhat at a loss, and could only look to Mu Feiran for help.
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu is not that simple. Since he dared to agree, he must have learned about Zhuge Guan. Besides, don't forget, there are also Gu Er and Gu San. At least, no one in Taixu Realm can do anything to Young Master Gu."
Mu Feiran was not in a hurry, but analyzed the situation very calmly.
"The Three Pure Ones Alliance dares to be so presumptuous, they really don't take our Four Extremes Lands seriously."
Chi Tianyuan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent. Despite his seemingly innocent foolishness, Chi Xuanshan had inherited his meticulous mind and shrewdness, which did not mean he was incapable of scheming.
Nangong Wan remained silent, sitting there with considerable concern for Gu Yifeng's current situation.
...
When Gu Yifeng opened his eyes again, he had already been led by Zhuge Guan into a secret room. In the center of the secret room was an altar, below which was a huge Bagua formation, and a withered figure sat cross-legged in the center.
"Elder Zhuge, speak, what do you intend to do?"
Looking at Zhuge Guan's appearance, Gu Yifeng immediately became wary. The place felt eerie, with the dark blue light emanating from the Bagua formation all around, which was quite unsettling.
"Of course, I'll destroy you!"
Zhuge Guan sneered, made hand seals, and instantly activated the Bagua formation. From the withered figure at the center, a dark red soul instantly shot out and flew directly into Gu Yifeng's sea of consciousness.
"Possession!"
Gu Yifeng immediately understood Zhuge Guan's plan. He sat down cross-legged and released Gu Er and Gu San from his ring, then his consciousness entered his sea of consciousness.
The dark red soul slowly condensed into a human form, an old man, whose aura was at least at the Dao Integration Realm.
"Haha, boy, hand over your physical body! Once I possess you, I will be able to uncover the secrets of the lower realm. At that time, my Three Pure Ones Alliance will be the ruler of the Radiant Continent, hahaha!"
The spirit sneered, its aged voice instantly causing Gu Yifeng's sea of consciousness to tremble. Terrifying spiritual power emanated from it, carrying an immense pressure.
...
Just as the Three Pure Ones Alliance was embroiled in conflict, ripples appeared in the lower realm they were overseeing, and three more figures emerged from the lower realm and arrived at the Three Pure Ones Mountain, which was located at the edge of the lower realm.
The group consisted of two men and one woman. The leader was only in his early twenties, shirtless, with well-developed muscles and strange lines that spread from his back to his entire body, making him look incredibly frightening.
"Ah, so this is the air of the Continent of Light. It's still a bit inferior to that of the Immortal Realm, but it'll be ripe soon."
The man spoke with rapt attention.
