Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 554: The Ancient Zhuo Family and the Ancient Gu Family, a Disciple Who Has Reached a New Level of Miserability
Beiyuan is an independent continent that is known as one of the five major regions of Beidou along with Donghuang, Zhongzhou, Ximo and Nanling.

There are many noble families and factions here, and there have been unique emperors like the Emperor Luangu. The creation of heaven and earth is extraordinary.

The Beiyuan Wang family is a family that ranks relatively low among the ancient families in Beiyuan. If it weren't for the Northern Emperor Wang Teng, this family would not even be worthy of being remembered by Liu Mang.

But this is not the average level of Beiyuan families. Beiyuan still has some big families that are comparable to the Donghuang Holy Land, such as the Gu family.

The Gu family usually keeps a low profile, but their strength is extremely extraordinary. Even in this era when the world has not changed, there are still twenty or thirty powerful people in the family, and there are also kings to suppress them. They are not comparable to the current Wang family.

This family, which had never been heard of in the original novel, had now become so bold that they not only snatched the apprentice that Weiwei had found for Liu Mang, but also tried to silence Weiwei.

If Weiwei hadn't practiced the secret of the word "Xing" to a high level, she would have really been in trouble this time.

After all, she was just a cultivator in the early stage of Dragon Transformation. The Gu family could just send out a powerful person to make her powerless to resist. It was already an extraordinary ability that she could escape.

Under a cliff in Beiyuan, Liu Mang and Weiwei crossed over and looked up to see the cut on the cliff.

Even though some time had passed, the cut was still lingering with a sharp, deadly aura. When a bird flew over, it would be killed instantly by the aura.

Weiwei said fearfully, "That was the mark he left when I fought with a supreme elder of the Gu family. It seemed to be the Gu family's secret technique, 'Cang Jing Duan Yuan Feng'. The cutting power was extremely terrifying. I was completely unable to defend myself and could only rely on the Xing character secret to dodge. However, I was still injured in the lungs by the scattered sharp edge, and the injury is extremely difficult to recover from."

Liu Mang waved his hand to absorb the remaining sharp edge and sense the mystery in it.

This is a secret technique that combines the sharp edge of gold with the mysterious death energy. It is so exquisite that Liu Mang cannot replicate it in a short period of time. It must have been created by a great sage-level being at least.

This sharp edge seemed to have its own consciousness, trying to penetrate into Liu Mang's body through his fingertips, cutting off his vitality and life, and turning it into nutrients to strengthen itself.

But Liu Mang knew that Feng Mang actually had no consciousness. It was just that the dead energy in it was passively attracted by the vitality of the human body, creating the illusion that it was actively drilling into the body.

The fingertips crushed the sharp edge with force, and infinite power flowed along the connection of the sharp edge to the cliff.

"puff!"

With a slight sound, the cliff thousands of meters high turned into ashes, and the remaining sharp edge on it was also crushed and dissipated.

Boom!

The thousand-meter-high cliff that had completely turned into ashes collapsed, and the ashes swept down like a wave, making a deafening roar, instantly burying and filling the abyss that had been cut on the ground, and the traces of the fight completely disappeared in an instant.

Weiwei was a little surprised: "Junior brother, you can achieve this level without using any divine power, what kind of special physique is this?"

As we all know, the strength of cultivators is basically all based on divine power and laws. Even for a physique like the Holy Body, which is famous for its physical strength, its strong foundation is still the surging divine power and blood power of the Holy Body. Pure physical strength cannot accomplish such a light operation.

But Liu Mang did it, without using any divine power or blood, nor did he use any laws. Just by relying on a pinch of his fingertips, the power flew along the connection to the cross-section and the cliff, completely destroying it. The thousand-meter-high mountain turned into ashes in an instant, and the particles were fine and uniform. This was completely beyond Weiwei's cognition.

"Don't make a fuss, Senior Sister. Don't be too cautious. Show me the way. Let's go and destroy the Gu family first to bring back my apprentice. Then I'll find time to slowly teach you what this operation is. The order must not be messed up, and the purpose must not be forgotten."

After Liu Mang finished pretending to be powerful, he quickly urged Weiwei to set off. His apprentice had been captured by the Gu family for more than three days. If he didn't rescue her, she might get pregnant.

Thinking of the children, Liu Mang suddenly remembered something.

As he flew, he asked, "By the way, is my apprentice this time a man or a woman, a human or a ghost, how old is he, what is his name, and is his life story tragic?"

Weiwei's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Junior brother, please don't blame me when I tell you the truth. I feel that all your disciples are so miserable. You can't blame me for choosing the wrong one. You can only blame it on your fate. This is destiny, and you can't escape it." Weiwei said solemnly, her eyes a little vague.

Gee.
I get it, it's still miserable, right? This world really can't be better. Why are there so many miserable children with great talents?
Liu Mang sighed slightly: "Okay, tell me in detail. Anyway, there is still some time to go. With your speaking speed, it is enough to explain it to me clearly."

Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief and blurted out her prepared speech, which was tens of thousands of words long. However, with her high-speed speech, she finished it in less than a second, and Liu Mang received all the information very clearly and heard every word distinctly.

Liu Mang sighed, Senior Sister Weiwei's skills have improved again. If this ability is placed in some magical world that requires chanting spells, the magicians will be envious to the point of going crazy.

Unfortunately, this is the Zhutian Universe, and speaking fast does not increase attack speed, which is a pity.

According to Weiwei, Liu Mang had a general understanding of the situation of his new apprentice.

The new disciple is named Zhuo Hongyu, and he is the only direct descendant of the Zhuo family, an ancient family in Beiyuan.

The Zhuo family was once an ancient family, but unfortunately they suffered heavy casualties due to an unknown turmoil hundreds of years ago. By this generation, they had declined and had long lost the dignity of an ancient family. The only powerful person in the family, Grandfather Zhuo Hongyu, was guarding the family's foundation.

Although the Zhuo family has declined, their heritage has not been lost. However, they do not have the power to protect it. This is undoubtedly a big piece of fat meat, and their neighbor, the Gu family, has been eyeing it.

Even before the decline of the Zhuo family, they were no match for the Gu family, not to mention that after their decline, the Zhuo family was suppressed by the Gu family everywhere.

Since she was born, Zhuo Hongyu has been the hope of everyone in the Zhuo family, because on the day of her birth, rain fell from the sky, purple clouds rose into the sky, and it seemed as if a fairy door opened above the Zhuo family, and pleasant fairy music was heard.

Such an extraordinary birth scene naturally shocked everyone in the Zhuo family. Everyone felt that this was a great person given by God to the Zhuo family to revive the family, and that Zhuo Hongyu would surely lead the Zhuo family to the pinnacle of the world in the future.

Zhuo Hongyu did not disappoint the Zhuo family's expectations. She showed unparalleled talent since she began practicing at the age of three. All the levels of practice seemed non-existent to her. Her comprehension was very high. She entered the Zhuo family's ancient scriptures in one day, and was on the right track in five days. The Zhuo family believed that she was the reincarnation of an immortal.

The Zhuo family was simply crazy and spent everything to train her. The little girl was only seven years old last year, but she had already entered the secret realm of the Taoist Palace!
Ye Fan, an adult in his twenties, still needs five years of practice before he can enter the Taoist Palace. Zhuo Hongyu, at such a young age, was able to suppress her playful heart and practice hard, and entered the Taoist Palace from nothing in four years. This talent is comparable to that of the Northern Emperor Teng!

But if God opens a window for you, he will definitely close a door for you. Even if God is replaced by the Jade Emperor, Buddha or something like that, this principle will not change.

Zhuo Hongyu, who is gifted in cultivation, seems to be completely occupied by the Tao in his brain. He has a dull personality, and is said to be not very smart. He is dull and stupid, and cannot bear the burden of the family at all.

This situation is fine when you are a child, as children should be like this. But as they get older, the seven-year-old geniuses from other ancient families can already sneak into the Demon Sect by themselves and cooperate with the family to take down a force. But as for Zhuo Hongyu, if you call her, it will take her more than ten seconds to realize that you are calling her.

The hope for the family's rise was a natural fool, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Zhuo family.

What’s the use of having good talent? With this kind of personality, you can’t compete with others for the throne, and you will be fooled by others!

In desperation, some people in the Zhuo family began to have other ideas.

Although Zhuo Hongyu is dull, she is incredibly talented. If she is not suitable to be a leader, then isn't she suitable to be a mother?
Therefore, some people in the Zhuo family began to take action, forming alliances within the Zhuo family and trying to arrange a husband for Zhuo Hongyu, so that she could get married and have children when she was old enough, and place their hopes on the next generation.

No matter how much the head of the Zhuo family loves his descendants, he has to give way to the interests of the family. Zhuo Hongyu is indeed incapable of shouldering the responsibility of the family, and he himself does not live for a few hundred years.

The burden of protecting the family overwhelmed the head of the Zhuo family. The only powerful backbone of the Zhuo family made him agree to the plan of sacrificing one person for the benefit of everyone.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Hongyu's fiancé who was finally chosen did not like this silly little girl, even though she was very cute.

His fiancé, who was in his twenties, liked older sisters who were considerate and broad-minded, and did not like to have daughters. After the family arranged this marriage for him, they forbade him to look for his older sister, which made him furious, and he took out his anger on Zhuo Hongyu.

In order to cultivate their relationship, the Zhuo family arranged for them to stay together every day. The fiancé treated Zhuo Hongyu very well on the surface, but in fact he often bullied her, beating and scolding her, and even used Zhuo Hongyu to test drugs in order to study poisons.

Zhuo Hongyu was too naive, or indeed brainless. Even though she was bullied half to death, she did not rely on her own strength to resist, because her parents had told her to listen to her husband.

Since she didn't resist and even didn't file a complaint, her fiancé became even more unscrupulous. He inflicted every torture he could think of on Zhuo Hongyu in revenge for preventing him from meeting his lover.

Days passed, and finally one day, the fiancé became arrogant. He thought that the current abuse would soon be recovered because of Zhuo Hongyu's high level of cultivation. This made him very dissatisfied, and he decided to destroy Zhuo Hongyu's cultivation.

However, although he was a cultivator from the other shore, there was still a huge gap between him and Zhuo Hongyu. Even if Zhuo Hongyu did not resist, when he slapped her wheel sea with one palm, the divine power of the second level of the Taoist Palace automatically counterattacked and still killed her ignorant fiancé.

In the blink of an eye, her fiancé was everywhere, and Zhuo Hongyu herself was confused.

The Zhuo family was alarmed and came to find their fiancé scattered on the ground and his head half dead with eyes still open. Everyone was furious.

They accused Zhuo Hongyu of being cruel and even killing her own fiancé. Her behavior was extremely heinous and she must be severely punished!

Zhuo Hongyu did not realize that the scene was extremely unfavorable to her, nor did she feel anything about the death of her fiancé. Instead, she was happy that so many uncles, aunts, grandparents came to see her, and her little face covered in blood was filled with a bright smile.

This smile was incredible and frightened the Zhuo family. She killed her own fiancé and faced the blame from her family, but she could still smile so brightly. She was simply a devil and had no affection for her family at all!
Overnight, Zhuo Hongyu turned from a reincarnated immortal into a resurrected demon, and the entire Zhuo family was arguing about whether to burn her to death.

The reason for the quarrel was that one side thought that the reincarnation of the evil spirit should be killed immediately, while the other side believed that the evil spirit also had its uses, and that the Zhuo family needed her to rise, so they would kill her later. However, Zhuo Hongyu's most trusted parents were the ones who shouted the loudest in the camp that clamored to kill her immediately.

No one cared about why Zhuo Hongyu killed people, how she killed people, or who was at fault. No one in the entire Zhuo family spoke up for her.

Perhaps, the reason for the decline of the Zhuo family has been found.

Zhuo Hongyu was not executed immediately after all, because the Zhuo family really needed her, and she could not die before she gave birth to the Zhuo family's talented child.

Of course, in order to be able to control Zhuo Hongyu, the Zhuo family banned her from practicing. They didn't even need to seal her. They just needed to lie to her that practicing would kill her family, and she would stop practicing on her own and never do it again.

The Zhuo family chose a new fiancé for her, who was even worse than the previous one. Even though they put Zhuo Hongyu in jail and did not allow the two to have long-term contact in order to avoid the same incident as the previous one, the new fiancé still arranged for people to torture her in the cell from time to time.

The previous fiancé was dissatisfied with the marriage, and this one did it out of sheer disgust for Zhuo Hongyu. The family's once most brilliant genius is now a demon hated by everyone. He wants to turn what he once lost into pain and return it to Zhuo Hongyu bit by bit!

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhuo Hongyu would be tortured until she got married at the age of sixteen, and would be executed by the Zhuo family after giving birth to offspring.

But for some reason, Zhuo Hongyu's affairs were known to the Gu family.

The seven-year-old Daogong shocked the Gu family. The head of the Gu family said: "This child is so terrifying, he must not be allowed to stay!"

The Gu family has coveted the Zhuo family for a long time. They originally planned to maintain the face of the ancient family and slowly nibble away at the entire Zhuo family. Now that the Zhuo family has such a genius, if they give the Zhuo family time to develop, it is not certain who will devour whom in the future.

Therefore, the Gu family decided to wipe out the Zhuo family overnight and take back the said naive Zhuo Hongyu to keep for their own use. The Gu family's strongest genius, Gu Qianfeng, is extremely talented. He once competed with the Northern Emperor Wang Teng for a hundred moves and remained undefeated. If they have Zhuo Hongyu as an excellent mother, the next generation born from their combination will surely surpass Wang Teng and lead the family!

The Wang family can be led by Wang Teng, who has not yet become a powerful person. If the Gu family has a genius stronger than Wang Teng in the future, it will naturally be able to soar to the sky!
Blood suddenly descended, and even the moonlight was blood red that night. When Zhuo Hongyu realized something was wrong and rushed out of the cell, there was no one alive in the Zhuo family except her.

Under the scarlet moon, the head of the Zhuo family patriarch was held high by a spear. Hundreds of corpses of Zhuo family members were scattered around. The fear on each of their faces was clearly illuminated by the moonlight.

The eight-year-old Zhuo Hongyu was still in a daze, her mind wandering as she faced the Gu family members who were surrounding her step by step.

Everyone is dead, no more imprisonment, can practice cultivation, what to eat tonight, where did I come from, does the universe have an origin, is the speed of light constant, why don't apples fall upwards, why does fire burn, why do organisms die.
An extremely complex array of thoughts filled her brain, crowding out her awareness of action, making her look dazed and several steps slow in doing everything.

A supreme elder of the Gu family came floating over. He was a powerful figure. He looked down at Zhuo Hongyu and his eyes met hers.

After a long while, he shook his head and sneered, "He is indeed a fool. No matter how talented he is, he can't escape the control of our Gu family. Our Gu family is so lucky, hahahaha!"

Before the laughter died down, Zhuo Hongyu disappeared from the encirclement.

The Gu family's supreme elder was slightly stunned, then became furious. His eyes suddenly turned and quickly locked onto the two figures that had already run to the horizon.

One of them was Zhuo Hongyu, and the other was Weiwei who had been observing Zhuo Hongyu for ten days.

"You bold thief, you actually dared to rob people right under the nose of my Gu family, you are tired of living!"

The Gu family's supreme elder immediately gave chase. Even though Weiwei had the blessing of the Xing character secret, she was still in the early stage of dragon transformation and was not as fast as the powerful one, and was soon caught up.

Seeing that she could not escape, Weiwei used all the secrets of the word "Jie", "Xing", "Dou" and "Lin". She barely fought against the Gu family's supreme elder, borrowed the enemy's strength to speed up her escape, and at the same time tried her best to hide her breath, and she actually managed to escape temporarily.

How could the Gu family allow the duck in their mouth to fly away? They immediately sent a large army to blockade the area and were determined to get the person back.

Weiwei and Zhuo Hongyu played hide-and-seek with the Gu family for half a month, but in the end they were unable to escape and were blocked by a powerful person from the Gu family.

Before, Weiwei wanted to use her cell phone to call Liu Mang to come and pick her up, but unexpectedly, there was no signal at all.

The Yaoguang Holy Land mobile phone has been on sale for almost a year, and all major forces have already obtained what they were supposed to get, and the Gu family is no exception.

They failed to develop pirated mobile phones, but they were well aware of the convenience of such devices in calling for help, so they specially developed signal blocking equipment.

The Gu family blocked the signals in the encirclement and sealed off the space, making it impossible for Weiwei to call for help directly through her cell phone.

Space signals such as mobile phones were blocked, and other means of communication were not enough to transmit information from Beiyuan to Donghuang across billions of miles in a short period of time. Vivi was at a loss as she could neither fight nor run away.

At the critical moment, Zhuo Hongyu stood up and said that she would go with the Gu family and asked the Gu family to release Weiwei, otherwise she would explode on the spot.

At such a dangerous moment, Zhuo Hongyu, who had been dazed, showed abnormally decisive side. There was no dullness in her eyes anymore, only determination that was beyond all possibility.

Weiwei's thoughts were in a mess for a moment. Words like split personality, two souls in one body, awakening of innate wisdom, sudden possession of another's body, and time travel by a dump truck all came to her mind, and her mind was in a mess.

It’s all because of my junior brother telling me some messed up stories. I can’t figure out what the situation is!

Weiwei used her fairy eyes to the maximum and observed Zhuo Hongyu's situation. At least she ruled out obvious problems such as possession of another's body and two souls in one body. At least, the current changes were good.

Zhuo Hongyu was deeply aware of the Gu family's desire for her and wanted to sacrifice herself in exchange for the safety of the first person in the world who treated her sincerely. If it were an ordinary situation, the Gu family would agree.

But the situation is different now. Zhuo Hongyu is an unrivaled genius, but isn’t Weiwei the same?

Why would the Gu family let one of them go when they can get two female geniuses who can serve as mothers at once?
My Gu family wants them all!

More and more powerful men from the Gu family gathered around, and the big men from the Gu family were grinning so hard that their mouths were crooked. This was a buy one get one free deal, the Gu family was going to prosper.

Weiwei was not one to be killed, so she fought back with Zhuo Hongyu, using the "Xing" secret to dodge the attacks of the Gu family's strong men.

But the difference between bringing someone with you and not bringing anyone with you is too great. Even for Weiwei, it would be difficult for her to lead Zhuo Hongyu to avoid the overwhelming attacks.

Finally, Zhuo Hongyu decisively broke free from Weiwei's hand, told her to run alone and not to bother with her anymore, and then she rushed towards the Gu family's strongman and used her body to block the attack.

The powerful man of the Gu family was shocked and stopped, fearing that he would kill the hard-earned mother body.

The offensive had a loophole for a moment, and Weiwei lost another burden, and immediately escaped from the net as if crossing time and space.

When the powerful man of the Gu family saw that Weiwei was about to run away, he didn't care about saving her life and directly used his ultimate move "Cang Jing Duan Yuan Feng" to keep Weiwei.

This young and powerful man, who possesses so many powerful secret skills, must have a backer. If he runs away, the Gu family may be retaliated against.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Although Cang Jing Duan Yuan Feng injured Wei Wei, he failed to kill her. By the time the Gu family's powerful man wanted to make another move, Wei Wei had already left the space blockade and disappeared with the help of the disposable Xuan Yu Platform given by Liu Mang.

After that, Weiwei spent three days running back to Yaoguang Holy Land and kicked open Liu Mang's door. Liu Mang, furious, brought Weiwei to Beiyuan.

After listening to Weiwei's story, Liu Mang shook his head repeatedly.

This Zhuo Hongyu is incredible. She has reached a new level of misery. The little Nannan, Jiang Tingting and Bai Qiao mentioned above were already very pitiful, but they are not as miserable as Zhuo Hongyu.

She was a child of destiny and had lived a life dominated by her ancestors since childhood. However, when she was just about to become sensible, she encountered a shocking reversal. She fell from being a jewel in the family's hands to mud in the dung, trampled on by everyone, whether human or ghost. She was abused and tortured by her fiancé. After her fiancé finally killed herself, she was regarded as a demon by her family and tortured even more severely.

She had originally accepted this kind of life, but when she encountered the disaster of her clan being exterminated and felt both relieved and lost, sister Weiwei suddenly appeared and rescued her. She treated her as her own sister and wanted to take her to live a truly happy life.

Unfortunately, hope was dashed in an instant. In order to protect her dear sister Weiwei, Zhuo Hongyu, who had been submissive and stupid for eight years, finally awakened. However, her awakening did not bring about a great killing. Instead, she suffered a setback when she showed her wisdom for the first time.

She had no choice but to walk into the trap herself to give Weiwei a chance to escape and put herself in the abyss again.

Now she has been in the hands of the Gu family for three days. During these three days, she must have been looking up at the sky all the time. After all, the abyss is always suffocating, and who in the abyss would not yearn for light?
She might have imagined Sister Weiwei's figure flying overhead, riding a colorful cloud and rushing into the Gu family to kill everyone, then reaching out and pulling her out of the water from the brink of suffocation.

"So, we can't let her down!" Liu Mang said with tears in his eyes.

Weiwei had a blank expression on her face. Her junior brother's thoughts were always so changeable and complicated. He even relied on his imagination to complete Zhuo Hongyu's inner thoughts. It must be said that this was a very advanced ability, and Weiwei felt that she could not do it.

Based on Weiwei's understanding of Zhuo Hongyu in the past month, perhaps she has not thought about these things at all. Maybe she is thinking about how to prove the grand unified theory?

Just as I was thinking about it, a huge valley surrounded and guarded by tens of thousands of mountains appeared before my eyes. Each mountain was either beautiful, steep, towering, or magnificent. Various peaks formed a circle in dozens of layers, surrounding the central valley. Just as I approached, I could feel the spiritual energy and the entanglement of laws.

Gu family, we’re here!
