Hongmeng Heavenly Book

The resources before him were completely devoured by the Divine Demon Creation Technique, and Gu Changsheng could only feel countless forces surging within his body.

Over the course of several hours, the power within Gu Changsheng's body grew increasingly terrifying.

Then a loud bang rang out.

Gu Changsheng's eyes widened, and he instantly stepped into the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, reaching its peak.

I felt the abundant spiritual energy within my body.

Gu Changsheng's eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

He laughed and said, "Finally, I have some strength left. Otherwise, with my current strength, I would have been completely tormented."

"Let's consolidate our strength first."

After speaking, Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged and flowed towards him.

"..."

Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Mansion.

"How dare this beast kill someone from my City Lord's Mansion!"

"This is outrageous!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the main hall.

The elders sitting there all had grim faces, and their angry bodies were trembling.

They just received the news.

Yan Heng and all members of the Yan family were killed, including Xu Tian, ​​the captain of their city lord's guard.

Xu Tian was at the peak of the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm and was a key figure in the City Lord's Mansion. How could he just disappear like that?

"That useless son-in-law of the Yan family is actually this strong? He was able to kill Xu Tian, ​​who was at the Spirit Sea Realm?"

The elders' faces were extremely gloomy, their teeth clenched, and their expressions were ferocious.

He wished he could go to the Yan family right now and kill Gu Changsheng.

But they still couldn't figure it out.

Because they all knew very well that Gu Changsheng possessed top-notch talent, but in his youth, due to his obsession with women, he was tricked out of his innate sword bone by the second daughter of the Yan family as a dowry.

He has no talent whatsoever, as they have verified.

Why is cultivation possible now?

On one side, an old man in a brown robe had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with intense resentment.

Xu Kun, the Grand Elder of the City Lord's Mansion!

Xu Kun's face was cold and his eyes were like those of a venomous scorpion: "This is really strange. The innate sword bone has been completely taken away."

"Even if I survive now, I'll just be a piece of trash."

"How can one cultivate?"

The other elders looked extremely grim.

They hadn't expected this.

The useless son-in-law of the Yan family has changed so much.

They are now able to cultivate.

"That bastard! He should have been killed that day too!" the Second Elder roared. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have left such a menace alive."

Xu Kun said grimly, "Who could have imagined that this kid would change so much?"

"Moreover, openly killing people from my city lord's mansion is a provocation."

"If the City Lord's Mansion doesn't capture this brat, our City Lord's Mansion will surely become a laughing stock in Qingzhou City in the future."

The elders had icy expressions, and their killing intent raged around them.

"Gu Changsheng is able to cultivate because he has obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity."

Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

The elders in the main hall looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman in white slowly walked in.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, and her phoenix eyes held a chilling light.

Missy.

Xu Yue.

"Greetings, Miss," the elders said respectfully.

Xu Yue nodded.

"Miss said that Gu Changsheng obtained an opportunity?" Xu Kun asked in a deep voice.

Xu Yue nodded slightly and said coldly, "Otherwise, how could Gu Changsheng have undergone such a tremendous change in such a short time, even managing to kill Xu Tian, ​​a cultivator at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm?"

"This opportunity must be extraordinary."

Xu Kun and the others' expressions suddenly changed, then became extremely gloomy: "If we don't get rid of Gu Changsheng, he will definitely cause trouble for the City Lord's Mansion."

"After all, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Cheng died because of us."

"Moreover, this kid's current strength is simply not enough to defeat someone at the Spirit Sea Realm."

Xu Yue sneered, "Isn't the Grand Elder being a bit too complimentary of others?"

"My father is about to be released from quarantine."

"You've emerged from quarantine?"

Upon hearing this, the elders all revealed expressions of ecstatic joy: "Young Miss, does this mean the City Lord is about to enter the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm?"

A cold glint appeared in Xu Yue's eyes: "That's right, Father had been stuck at the peak of the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm for half a year."

"Now I'm finally about to step into the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm."

"Once my father comes out of seclusion, taking down Gu Changsheng will be incredibly easy."

"But the key question is, how do we take him down? What's our reasoning?"

Someone said with a gloomy expression.

Xu Yue glanced at him indifferently: "Did Gu Changsheng kill anyone from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Kill them!"

"Is Yan Ruyu dead? Are Yan Heng and Menglan dead?"

"What is the relationship between these people and Gu Changsheng?"

"Dead..."

"One is Gu Changsheng's lawfully wedded wife, and the other two are Gu Changsheng's parents-in-law."

Some of the elders were immediately overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.

Xu Yue grinned, a hint of smugness in her voice: "Isn't that just a logical step?"

However, the smile on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by an extremely cold chill.

"How can Qingzhou City allow someone who would even murder his own bedmate to remain indefinitely?"

"We have every reason to eliminate this potentially huge threat to Qingzhou City."

"In this way, the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion will surely reach its zenith."

"Besides, this is something Gu Changsheng brought upon himself."

Xu Yue's eyes were extremely cold.

Xu Kun looked at Xu Yue and said somewhat cautiously, "Miss, I remember that Gu Changsheng once rejected your confession."

"If you meet him in person, will you still go easy on him?"

They knew it very well.

Two years ago.

Xu Yue once confessed her feelings to Gu Changsheng, something many people don't know.

Even if she is as beautiful as jade.

"Hmph, Elder, you underestimate me, Xu Yue!"

Xu Yue gave a cold laugh.

His expression was disdainful.

"How could I, Xu Yue, possibly hang myself on one man?"

"Besides, he's a married man."

"Of course, married men do have some appeal."

A playful smile played on Xu Yue's lips, and a chilling glint flashed in her phoenix eyes: "This Gu Changsheng will die by my hand."

"Isn't he already able to cultivate? It's said that he previously possessed innate sword bones and contained innate essence within his body. If I were to refine it, my strength would definitely increase significantly."

"Moreover, when I confessed my feelings back then, I was after his sword bone, but I never expected that the sword bone would end up in Yan Ruxue's hands."

He bit his thin lips tightly, his face cold and sinister: "I want Gu Changsheng to be my cultivation vessel, to help me cultivate."

That's right. How could she have liked Gu Changsheng when she confessed her feelings back then?

Although Gu Changsheng was good-looking, this young master from a small family in Qingzhou City was not good enough for her.

The elders nodded in agreement.

Boom! Just then, a cracking sound suddenly came from the secluded training room.

Everyone's eyes suddenly flashed.

Then came ecstasy.

"The city lord has emerged from seclusion."

Just as they were overjoyed, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared in the distance and stepped into the main hall.

A powerful spiritual energy permeated the space, carrying with it a profound sense of oppression.

City Lord!

Xu Sheng!
