The battlefield was in a mess.
The aftermath of the bloody smell and spiritual power collapse has not yet completely subsided.
The once invincible coalition of the Tianfu Sect and the Yaochenzi faction has now turned to dust, except for the alchemy master who was deliberately left behind and a handful of frightened and barely surviving minnows and crab generals.
Gu Changqing, with his own strength, destroyed this powerful force that was enough to shake an area.
His figure, in the afterglow of the setting sun, appeared even more lonely and mysterious.
Not far away, Ye Chen collapsed on the ground like a dead dog.
He was completely deprived of the power to resist by Gu Changqing's casual attack.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, his eyes were empty and numb, like a walking corpse without a soul.
The pride and indomitable spirit of being the son of destiny had long been crushed by the cruel reality.
Gu Changqing walked slowly to Ye Chen and looked down at the protagonist of the original book.
His eyes were as indifferent as water, without a trace of mockery or pity.
In Gu Changqing's eyes, Ye Chen was just a "tool man" who still had some energy left.
"bite!"
"System prompt: It has been detected that although the target [Ye Chen] (the original son of destiny) has been suppressed, some suppressed destiny essence still remains in his body."
"This target can currently still be considered a low-value [Luck Node], which may trigger special rewards or serve as a trigger for specific events."
It is true.
Gu Changqing's lips curled up in an almost imperceptible arc.
Killing Ye Chen directly would be a waste.
Bring him back home and keep him under strict supervision. Perhaps at some point in the future, some unexpected value can be extracted from him.
Whether it is used as a sample to observe the changes in the world's fortune, or as bait for the "plot correction force" that may appear in the future, it is better than letting him disappear completely now.
"Deal with it."
Gu Changqing gave a light order, and Gu Fan immediately understood and stepped forward, tied Ye Chen tightly with a special soul-binding chain, and lifted him up like dragging a dead dog.
Afterwards, Gu Changqing turned his attention to the temporary strongholds of the destroyed forces.
Collecting spoils of war has always been his fine tradition.
Naturally, the storage magic weapons carried by these sect disciples and the treasure houses they secretly built cannot be let go.
"bite!"
"The host plundered the treasure troves left behind after the destruction of [Tian Fu Sect (part)] and [Yao Chenzi Faction (part)]!"
"Trigger a hundred thousand times critical hit return!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [A Top-Grade Spiritual Stone Mountain (Small)]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Ancient Alchemy Furnace·Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron (Replica, Lower Immortal Grade)]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [One Box of Ten Thousand Years of Black Crystal Iron Mother]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Various rare elixirs and immortal herbs over 3,000 years old, totaling 1,000 plants]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [An incomplete blueprint of the sect's hidden secrets]!"
A huge amount of cultivation resources and precious natural treasures instantly enriched Gu Changqing's private treasury.
Especially the incomplete blueprint of the sect's hidden background caught his attention.
The system prompts that this blueprint seems to point to an ancient Taoist sect that has long been lost in the long river of history. There may be deeper secrets behind it, and it may even be related to a lost forbidden area.
This was a pleasant surprise, adding an interesting clue to his future exploration direction.
Everything is done.
Gu Changqing boarded the Jiutian Ferry with Gu Fan, whose aura was becoming increasingly solemn, the alchemy master who was suppressed to a deathly pale face, and Ye Chen, who was like a walking corpse.
Shenzhou turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the restricted area where the Gu family was.
On the way back, Gu Fan and others reported the details of the trip, especially Gu Changqing's astonishing battle record, to the top management of the Gu family through a special communication jade talisman.
The message came back.
Deep in the Gu family's ancestral land, several living fossil-level ancestors who were in seclusion were rarely alarmed.
They felt sincere satisfaction and a hint of subtle surprise at Gu Changqing's efficiency and strength in destroying a branch of an ancient sect that had been passed down for thousands of years and capturing alive a long-established alchemy master.
"This son of Changqing is even more outstanding than we expected."
"Decisive in killing, wise and brave, he has the demeanor of my youth."
"It seems that the future glory of the Gu family will be even greater in his hands."
A low and majestic voice echoed in the forbidden area, full of recognition and expectations for Gu Changqing.
And Ye Chen, who was once favored by countless people and hailed as a child of destiny, was now taken back to the Gu family like a prisoner.
He was imprisoned in a dark dungeon that was heavily guarded and isolated from the outside world.
There was no sunlight here, the spiritual energy was thin, and only endless despair and coldness swallowed him.
His life fell from the clouds to the abyss, and there was no longer any glory.
Gu Changqing returned to his field with the extremely rich harvest of this trip and a faint expectation of higher challenges in the future.
His sights have long been set on a wider world.
New prey, new opportunities, and new "luck ATMs" are all waiting for his favor.
