Hongmeng Heavenly Book

The expressions of everyone in Qingzhou City changed, and they all fell silent after hearing Gu Changsheng's words.

Gu Cheng and his wife were both powerful figures in Qingzhou City, but they were the only two who stepped into the White Bone Forest, which was known as a forbidden zone for life.

It was practically a matter of life and death.

Xu Sheng's face was deathly pale. He looked at Gu Changsheng, his voice trembling, and said, "Shouldn't we always try to look on the bright side?"

"Perhaps they are still alive."

"Nephew, I'll go with you to the Bone Forest in a moment. Perhaps they're just outside the Bone Forest?"

Gu Changsheng looked at Xu Sheng coldly, "It's been almost a year since their accident."

"If there were really nothing wrong, they would have come out long ago."

"And we haven't seen either of them since."

"You're telling me they're alright?"

"Xu Sheng, do you believe that?"

Xu Sheng's face turned even uglier, and his body trembled.

Do not believe.

He naturally didn't believe it either.

After Gu Cheng and his group entered the Bone Forest that day, they stopped pursuing them, because Xu Sheng knew very well that Gu Cheng and his group were most likely already dead once they entered the Bone Forest.

How could they possibly survive?

The crowd fell silent.

How could someone who entered the White Bone Forest still be alive?

"Gu Changsheng, there will definitely be a chance... You believe me..." Xu Sheng felt the cold death intent in that gaze, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and struggled to speak incoherently.

Gu Changsheng's eyes were cold and resolute: "You should just die."

Clang!

A sword rang out suddenly, and a cold light flashed.

"No—!" Xu Sheng roared in horror and rage. However, all his struggles were in vain, as the sword flashed past like lightning.

puff!

A head flew up with an expression of disbelief and terror, splattering blood and staining the ground red.

Xu Sheng's eyes were filled with terror and despair.

As the city lord of Qingzhou City, a master at the third level of the Spirit Sea Realm was killed just like that.

Everyone present was terrified.

too strong.

Gu Changsheng is terrifying.

"Gu Changsheng, it's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. You actually killed the city lord for your parents. How cruel you are! You've truly fallen into the demonic path." Xu Kun's face was twisted with malice as he looked at Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng smiled coldly, "If a son doesn't avenge his parents' murder, is he even human?"

"The entire Qingzhou City Lord's Mansion deserves to die."

He said coldly.

Xu Kun and the other elders looked grim, enveloped by a strong killing intent that made their bodies tremble.

At the same time, they were filled with remorse.

"hateful!"

"You should have been dealt with that very day!"

"Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have arisen."

Xu Kun's eyes were filled with humiliation, but even more so with resentment.

"Die!" Gu Changsheng drew his sword and swung it, instantly sending heads flying and splattering blood all over the ground.

One by one, heads fell, their eyes filled with resentment.

"Hmph," Gu Changsheng snorted coldly, activated the Divine Demon Creation Technique, and devoured the essence and blood of a group of people to fill the Primordial Devouring Body.

Xu Yue stood before the crowd, her face drained of all color. Gu Changsheng's gaze was icy and devoid of warmth, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

How could he have become so terrifying...? A chill ran through Xu Yue's heart, and her previous arrogance and composure vanished completely.

"Gu Changsheng... he wouldn't even kill the city lord's daughter, would he?"

Quiet gasps rose from all around.

Xu Yue dug her fingertips into her palm, forcing herself to calm down.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she looked up again, her expression had changed, and her eyes were filled with a moist pleading look.

With a barely perceptible tremor:

"Gu Changsheng... The City Lord's Treasury still contains many resources, which you may have if you wish."

She paused, her eyes revealing a soft and vulnerable allure.

"Please spare my life... please?"

Her pitiful posture, exquisite beauty, and plaintive pleading expression captivated even the most discerning onlookers.

"what?"

"This woman... seems to be a mid-level spirit?" The woman in the book sensed Xu Yue's constitution and urged Gu Changsheng in his mind, "What are you waiting for? Go!"

Gu Changsheng: "..."

"lead the way."

He finally spoke, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

Xu Yue's body trembled, her eyes filled with calculation, and she put on a different face once again.

Gu Changsheng remained expressionless and quickly searched the storage rings of Xu Sheng and the others.

They followed Xu Yue into the city lord's mansion.

A quarter of an hour.

City Lord's Mansion.

treasure house.

Xu Yue raised her hand and pressed it on the heavy barrier of the warehouse door. Streams of blood-red light flowed around it, and then the door burst open with a bang.

Gu Changsheng stepped inside, his gaze sweeping across the warehouse.

The City Lord's Mansion's collection was indeed more abundant than that of the Yan family. The low-grade spirit stones alone were piled up like mountains, estimated to be no less than 50,000, and there were also many low-grade medicinal herbs of natural quality among them.

"Um?"

Suddenly, he frowned slightly.

A sweet and intoxicating fragrance quietly filled the air.

The next moment, he felt his spiritual sense sinking into a quagmire, his meridians were numb, and his body gradually stiffened.

"Hahaha... Gu Changsheng, you've finally met your match!" Behind her, Xu Yue's maniacal laughter suddenly rang out, devoid of any trace of gentleness.

Gu Changsheng slowly turned around and looked at her.

Xu Yue's pretty face twisted in resentment: "You destroyed my City Lord's Mansion and killed my father. Do you really think this blood feud can end here?!"

Gu Changsheng simply stared at her coldly, his eyes icy.

Xu Yue snorted coldly and said smugly, "This is 'Intoxicating Fragrance,' which specifically corrodes spiritual consciousness and paralyzes the five senses. No matter how furious you are right now, it's all in vain!"

Her gaze turned ardent and greedy as she scanned Gu Changsheng from head to toe: "I'm truly curious... how were you able to rebuild your sword bone after it was taken from you? What's even more remarkable is the surging and abundant yang energy within you..."

He licked his lips, a sickly flush rising to his face: "Perfect...it would be the perfect vessel for me!"

"A furnace or cauldron?" Gu Changsheng looked at Xu Yue coldly.

Xu Yue gave a cold smile.

"I am a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and I was unaware of this matter. Although I am only an outer disciple, I believe that if I refine the power within your body..."

"I, Xu Yue, will definitely enter the inner sect."

His face was filled with a cold and sinister expression.

Hehuan Gate?

Gu Changsheng never expected that Xu Yue in front of him was actually a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

Xu Yue grew increasingly excited, becoming incoherent with excitement, and prepared to activate her cultivation technique. However, in the next instant, Gu Changsheng struck, unleashing a punch.

boom.

"Ah!" A scream rang out as Xu Yue coughed up blood and slammed heavily to the ground, her eyes filled with terror: "Gu Changsheng, how...how can you move?"

Her face was pale, and her voice trembled.

Gu Changsheng sneered: "Does a mere toxin really think it can numb me?"

He had been on guard against Xu Yue for a long time. After sensing her presence, Gu Changsheng activated the Divine Demon Creation Technique to refine all the toxins in his body.
