"He took people to the Wang Family!?"
The two exchanged glances and couldn’t help but gasp.
"Is Gu Jinlai trying to completely exterminate the Wang Family!?"
"I fear it’s not just the Wang Family that’s so simple, the governor from the Fang Family is also involved."
Yang Shengping’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, "What Gu Jinlai is plotting might be the whole of Lingxiao City."
Qin Guichuan also agreed with this opinion.
Otherwise, they couldn’t explain why someone as notorious on the Demon Path as Gu Jinlai would willingly become a Vice Garrison Commander of the Meteor Star Guard and come to a remote border city like Lingxiao City, far from the political center of Star State.
"Damn it, he’s sending us this message because he’s forcing us to make a final choice."
Yang Shengping gritted his teeth.
Qin Guichuan looked at Yang Shengping.
Do they stick with the current alliance, or do they join forces with Gu Jinlai?
Such thoughts lingered in their minds only briefly before both of them dismissed them.
Gu Jinlai’s combat power was on par with that of a Great Demon, and was not the Sect Leader of the Red Blood Sect just as formidable?
Apart from the Sect Leader of the Red Blood Sect, their side also had many experts from the Fang Family, Zhao Family, and Wang Family.
Although these families had not managed to produce a Refining God Giant, their years of cooperation with the Red Blood Sect had made them very wealthy, with numerous Hugging Pill Masters at their disposal. If not for their arrogance, even a real Great Demon might not be impossible to besiege.
In such circumstances, why should they abandon the current alliance to seek the distant, and side with Gu Jinlai?
"Recall all Meteor Star Guards, also, blockade Lingxiao City!"
Qin Guichuan made a decisive decision, "What we need to do now is quickly inform the Fang Family and Zhao Family of the Ancient Demon’s ambitions, and prevent the Ancient Demon from escaping Lingxiao City once he realizes that the situation is turning against him."
Yang Shengping nodded solemnly.
Their collaboration with the Red Blood Sect, sending out thousands of Human Pills every month, must not be leaked.
The blockade of Lingxiao City was imperative.
If they killed Gu Jinlai, everything would return to normal, and they would continue to live luxuriously, making a hundred thousand a year.
If they failed to kill him, everyone would be executed after autumn.
One of the Three Great Families of Lingxiao City.
Originally, Lingxiao City also had the Li Family as the City Lord, but this family was annihilated for refusing to collude with the Three Great Families.
On the surface, the three families had only two to three Hugging Pill Masters, along with about ten Gang Condensation and several dozen Qi Refinement practitioners, making them even less formidable than the Gu Family of Red Wind City.
However, over the years, by secretly cooperating with the Red Blood Sect, their influence had more than doubled.
This was evident from the fact that Wang Dongyu’s three Great Pill Masters were joined by six more in an attempted ambush on Gu Jinlai, bringing the total to nine Hugging Pill Master experts.
Together, the three families and the Meteor Star Guard had taken complete control of Lingxiao City, effectively becoming the uncrowned kings of over a million inhabitants.
However, at the moment, Gu Jinlai, with a group of more than fifty people, had arrived at the Wang Family’s home when their power was at an unprecedented low.
Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its power.
Everyone understands this principle.
Faced with Gu Jinlai who was once a Refining God Giant...
Even though he appeared weakened in Changjun City, was pursued by Zhengyi sixth son and six Qi Refinement Realm practitioners, lost his beard and robe, and was forced to flee headlong into the mountains, hiding for ten days, the entire Wang family still did not take him lightly.
Aside from the Pill Master who guarded the family, all experts swarmed out, along with Fang Que who also came forth with help from two aides from the Fang Family, proving their high regard for Gu Jinlai.
They viewed him fully as a true Refining God Giant.
Despite this, they were utterly defeated.
The only survivors who escaped were two Pill Masters, three Gang Condensation, and nine Qi Refinement practitioners.
At this time, facing the clearly intent Gu Jinlai determined to wipe them out completely, the entire Wang Family was panicked and frantically sent people to the Zhao Family and Fang Family for reinforcements, stating the advantages and disadvantages.
Gu Jinlai, seeing this, did not interfere.
The Wang Family’s mansion was truly a grand estate.
Three li long, two li wide, covering an expanse of land.
It could even be called a city within a city.
With its own high walls, arrow towers, and watchtowers.
Although the wall was not as thick and wide as the city wall, standing on it still allowed people to walk side by side and shoot arrows with bows.
Except for Qi Refinement practitioners with outstanding movement techniques, ordinary refining organs and blood exchange practitioners probably couldn’t even climb the wall.
"Patriarch, besides a series of experts, the Wang Family has raised five hundred soldiers over the years, including two hundred elites..."
Gu Chaoyang reported softly.
Speaking of this, he recalled that only two or three publicly known Hugging Pills from the Wang Family had unexpectedly sprung forth ten people, he quickly added, "These are the official figures."
"Did you bring everything?"
Gu Jinlai looked back at the wagon.
He knew what the Patriarch was referring to.
Originally in Starlight City, when Jin Lai entered the Meteor Star Guard offering an armor recipe, he had prepared six hundred kilograms of explosives in case the deal failed, which would allow for chaos that facilitated a retreat by detonating the explosives.
Those explosives hadn’t been used, and in this period, they had been transported by Jin Lai to Lingxiao City, and with continuous efforts from Gu Junxiu, Gu Junlei, and others...
His stockpile of explosives had increased several times compared to that during the Starlight City period.
"The tactic is divided into three parts."
Jin Lai said, "First part, I break in."
He glanced at the tightly closed main gate of the Wang Family.
The gate, cast from fine iron, was extremely sturdy.
However, hinges and other parts were the weak points, and with the power he had after invoking the Great Sun True Demon Body, he could forcefully break through the door.
"Second part, while I attract everyone’s attention, you all must place the explosives at the positions I specify as quickly as possible, then retreat!"
Jin Lai looked towards two other directions of Lingxiao City: "When reinforcements from the Zhao Family and the Fang Family arrive, detonate the explosives."
"How will you retreat, Patriarch?"
Jin Lai said, "Now, we wait."
Gu Chaoyang knew what the Patriarch was waiting for.
Waiting for the Fang Family and Zhao Family to complete their assembly.
As soon as they set off towards the Wang Family, they would launch their attack.
Jin Lai was sitting quietly on the stone steps of a square one kilometer away from the Wang Family’s residence, peacefully basking in the sun.
His Divine Sense delved deep into his spirit world.
Above the Qing Lian, around the consciousness avatar, light flickered.
The Red Names of the Three Great Families and Meteor Star Guard were quite high.
He had massacred at the Meteor Star Guard City West Branch, securing twelve Qingguangs.
These twelve Qingguangs acted like they were to offset Karma and could cleanse his Karma down to a mere layer.
However, he had no intention of cleansing the Karma BUFF.
His gaze turned towards his movement technique.
The Qingguangs washed over it.
After three Qingguangs, the skill’s orb trembled slightly, reaching its peak.
Crossing the World: Mahayana→Perfection.
"This movement technique in Small Achievement granted me the Burst Secret Technique ’Four Seas’, derived in Mahayana the Secret Technique ’Eight Desolates’ which allowed me to move sideways during charges, and in Perfection, it derived the Secret Technique... ’Six Realms’!"
This Secret Technique belonged to Air Techniques.
It allowed to traverse the void between extremes.
Then, from a high position, it would launch attacks with the help of Gravity Potential Energy.
His own strategy involved utilizing the trait of Gravity Potential Energy, and this Secret Technique, took this trait to its ultimate potential.
"Six Realms, Eight Desolates, Four Seas."
From then on, Jin Lai’s movement system was completely formed.
Jin Lai continued to reflect.
"The foundation of movement lies in oneself; the stronger one’s physique, the stronger the movement technique."
After a while, his gaze shifted back to the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method.
Qingguangs continually washed over this skill, and a ceaseless stream of insights also surged from his mind.
Just as Jin Lai had guessed.
It took four Qingguangs to elevate the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique to Mahayana, and achieving Perfection would inevitably require even more...
The result was more exaggerated than he had anticipated.
Nine Qingguangs were consumed, yet he was still one or two short of bringing this Body Refining Method to Perfection.
This realization made Jin Lai furrow his brow.
"Have the people from the Fang Family and Zhao Family set out yet?"
"They have not yet departed, but they have already gathered all their elite fighters,"
"We won’t wait any longer."
Jin Lai stood up, lifting the Giant Sword that was beside him: "After today, there will no longer be a Wang Family in Lingxiao City."
