Hongmeng Heavenly Book

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng's expression grew even more sinister and cold.

"You want me to be your mercenary group's laborer?"

"Aren't you overthinking it?"

He was naturally quite disdainful.

Only at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

That's how arrogant they are.

So arrogant.

"Hahaha."

"I knew it. A talented kid like you will always be too proud to recognize who you are."

"If I, Li Guan, want you to be a laborer, you'd better obey!"

A chilling laugh echoed all around.

"There have been rebellious geniuses in the group before, but I always managed to bring them down and make them obedient in the end, didn't I?"

Li Guan grinned maliciously.

Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, a cold glint appearing within them.

"Brother, why waste words with this kid? He just secretly kept Blood Spirit Fruit; failing to hand it over is a capital offense."

"I'll break both his legs first, let's see if he can still be so arrogant!"

A man in black, grinning maliciously, leaped in front of Li Guan.

"Li Nan?" Li Guan looked slightly surprised, then grinned. "Alright, it's up to you."

"good!"

Li Nan rolled up his sleeves, his body surging with spiritual energy, and looked at Gu Changsheng with a playful gaze.

A hint of disdain flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

The ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Ants!

Clang.

With a startling sword cry echoing through the air, Gu Changsheng gripped the Bone-Eating Sword and charged forward, shattering space as a howling, chilling hurricane swept in.

Li Nan's pupils shrank drastically. He unleashed a martial skill and roared, "You beast! How dare you lay a hand on your grandfather, Li Nan! You're courting death!"

boom.

puff.

His martial arts skills were shattered by Gu Changsheng's sword, and his arm instantly turned into a bloody mist.

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out.

Li Nan, who had been arrogant and domineering just moments before, was now pale and horrified.

"You...you're not following the rules! I haven't finished speaking—"

His humiliated and resentful roar.

Li Nan's face was contorted with rage; he was filled with hatred.

Humph.

Gu Changsheng then suddenly raised his palm and unleashed a palm strike, the violent spiritual energy slamming into Li Nan's chest.

The immense force distorted Li Nan's features, ripped his eyes out, and caused him to slam heavily to the ground, spitting blood.

The entire audience was terrified.

Do you know something?

Gu Changsheng looked at Li Nan with a cold expression.

Li Nan, numbed by the excruciating pain, instinctively asked upon hearing Gu Changsheng's words, "Wh? What?"

"The villain dies from talking too much."

Gu Changsheng grinned maliciously.

He slapped her across the face.

puff.

In an instant, Li Nan's head exploded like a watermelon.

Tragic.

Miserable.

After Li Guan saw Li Nan's headless corpse.

His expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, turning ashen!

Hate.

"You actually killed my brother, Li Guan? You're asking for death, you're really asking for death. I'll make you pay for what you did."

Endless rage erupted, and the angry voice was almost a roar.

The mercenary group members looked extremely grim.

"Damn it!"

"That's really bold."

"How dare they kill the deputy commander!"

Their expressions were terrifyingly gloomy, filled with murderous intent.

"kill."

"I want him to be torn apart by five horses."

Li Guan sneered, "Tear her to pieces!"

"It's the commander!" One by one, the members rushed towards Gu Changsheng.

With a ferocious expression, Gu Changsheng, wielding the Bone-Eating Sword, leaped into the air, unleashing a burst of sword energy that swept across the land.

Members from the mercenary group continued to attack, unleashing deadly moves and supernatural abilities.

However, Gu Changsheng remained indifferent, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

These guys are all in the Spirit Sea Realm.

They must frequent this area of ​​the White Bone Forest.

I need these guys, exactly.

Let's spare the dog's life for now.

Ask some questions.

Having figured it out, Gu Changsheng's sword strikes became frenzied, the Bone-Eating Sword unleashing a chilling light.

The sword energy surged forth like a tide.

boom! boom! boom!

A series of explosions erupted, accompanied by piercing screams. Wherever the sword flashed, blood and flesh flew, and figures fell. In just a few breaths, the mercenary group members were all defeated by Gu Changsheng.

The wailing continued.

"A bunch of useless trash."

Swish.

The peak of the Spirit Sea Realm instantly expanded and erupted.

Li Guan trembled with rage. His face contorted with rage, he lunged forward in a flash, his right fist clenched, surging with terrifying spiritual energy.

"Destruction Fist!"

Intermediate-level Xuan-rank martial skill.

A single punch converges.

It arrived with a roar, like a giant dragon bursting with rage.

Gu Changsheng sneered, his eyes icy cold.

Sky-Splitting Sword Slash.

Clang.

Dozens of sword energies surged and suddenly converged into the Bone-Eating Sword, erupting in an instant. The powerful sword energy was also accompanied by an astonishing sword intent.

With a bang, Li Guan's attack was instantly annihilated by the Bone-Eating Sword.

Li Guan's eyes trembled violently as he felt the terrifying sword energy pressing down on him, causing his face to turn extremely ugly in an instant.

Then, as the sword intent struck his body, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by the force of the impact.

Li Guan felt as if his chest cavity was about to shatter.

It hurts terribly.

"How can he be so strong?"

Looking at Gu Changsheng.

Li Guan's throat bobbed, his eyes filled with horror.

The mercenaries looked utterly horrified; they had kicked a hornet's nest.

"We just killed the leader of a mercenary group not long ago, and now another one has popped up."

Gu Changsheng's voice was cold.

"what?"

"You killed Pang Quan in the ruins before..." Upon hearing Gu Changsheng's words, Li Guan obviously realized something and couldn't help but ask in horror.

Gu Changsheng remained indifferent and expressionless.

He didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Li Guan's face turned even uglier.

He remained silent.

That's the default setting.

"I have a question for you. If you know the answer, you may live."

Gu Changsheng glanced at everyone in the mercenary group and said calmly.

"Please ask, sir."

The first to speak was not a member of the mercenary group, but Li Guan.

His eyes were wide open.

His face was completely serious!

Is it possible to survive?

answer the questions?

Since he can live, he naturally doesn't want to die.

Gu Changsheng's eyes were icy. "Have you been operating in the White Bone Forest area for most of the year?"

Li Guan nodded: "Yes."

Is it really that simple?

Gu Changsheng nodded and took out two portraits from his storage ring.

He slowly unfolded one of the paintings, which depicted a tall and imposing man with resolute features—his father, Gu Cheng.

Then he unfolded another one.

The painting depicts a gentle and elegant woman with a dignified appearance and a quiet and graceful beauty that comes with the passage of time.

This is his mother.

Ling Huangyi.

Gu Changsheng's gaze swept over the group before him with a deep, dark intensity, his voice devoid of warmth: "Take a close look. In the past year, have any of you seen these two figures in the painting in the White Bone Forest?"

His parents' accident occurred three months after he married Yan Ruyu.

He remembered the time clearly.

Upon hearing this, Li Guan and the mercenary group all focused their attention on the two portraits.

Suddenly, a mercenary in the corner gasped and blurted out, "Wait... why do these two look so familiar?"

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he suddenly slapped his thigh:

"That's it! About eight months ago, at the northern foot of the White Bone Forest—weren't they the ones the Ye family and their gang ambushed back then?!"

"..."
