#73 - Even the leader of the Demon Cult wouldn't do this these days.

Although Lin Qingzhu didn't know the whole story,

she roughly understood what had happened.

The Gu family came to the Xu family, wanting Xu Fengqiu to agree to let her, this maid, marry Gu Changsheng.

Xu Fengqiu didn't agree.

So they fell out.

Then, Xu Fengqiu killed the Gu family's patriarch and others.

But theoretically, even if they fell out, they fell out.

He shouldn't have killed the Gu family members within the Xu family grounds.

If this behavior were to be known, it would be despised by the Nine Provinces.

At the same time, it also meant that the war between the Xu family and the Gu family, a war that would shake the Nine Provinces, had begun.

And the root of it all was her.

It was Young Master Xu who, for her sake, was willing to fight the Gu family.

This?

Lin Qingzhu was very flustered.

She believed that she was not worth such a thing at all.

The Xu family and the Gu family, two great ten-thousand-year imperial clans!

She didn't know what methods Xu Fengqiu had.

But normally speaking, for any force, they must avoid a major war with a force of the same level.

No one wants to suffer heavy losses on both sides.

What to do?

Lin Qingzhu's beautiful eyes looked at Xu Fengqiu.

Young Master Xu, why was he willing to do this for her…

Young Master Xu, did he really care about her so much?

"Young Master must especially cherish Qingzhu-jie jie.", Xiao Li said softly.

Lin Qingzhu glanced at Xiao Li.

This didn't seem to be a question of love or not.

The matter was too big.

So big that it made her panic.

But…

Lin Qingzhu looked at Xu Fengqiu's back.

He was really very different.

Which girl wouldn't like this feeling of being protected?

Even if it meant being against the world.

Which girl wouldn't be moved?

This matter deeply touched Lin Qingzhu's heart.

"Ding… Lin Qingzhu's favor towards you +10."

"Ding… Lin Qingzhu's favor towards you has reached 40, reward: [Grand Dao Destiny Book]."

Xu Fengqiu turned his head and glanced at Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu had a worried look on her face and bowed slightly.

"Just stay in Young Master's Pavilion, leave the rest to this Emperor."

"Young Master Xu… Qingzhu is not worth Young Master Xu doing this, why is Young Master…"

Before Lin Qingzhu could finish speaking, Xu Fengqiu reached out his finger and gently pressed it against her red lips.

Then Xu Fengqiu walked away.

This seemed to shake Lin Qingzhu's heart even more than thousands of words.

…

Gu family.

Gu Changsheng sat in the courtyard of the Young Master's Peak.

"The wedding of this Young Master will be in seven days, Lin Qingzhu, you can't escape this Young Master's grasp! Humph!"

Although Lin Qingzhu was Xu Fengqiu's maid, this point made Gu Changsheng very uncomfortable.

But everyone knew Lin Qingzhu's identity.

He didn't care much.

"This time, the only unexpected thing is that Xu Fengqiu, if he doesn't agree, what should we do?"

"But, the Gu family has announced to the world that the wedding will be in seven days. Xu Fengqiu also knows very well that if he doesn't agree, it's like slapping the Gu family in the face, and he also understands the consequences."

"Although this Xu Fengqiu is heaven-defying, he has exhausted his means to deal with the Misty Peak and the Medicine Emperor Sect. Otherwise, if he really had heaven-defying abilities, why would he have let Medicine God Mountain off?"

That's right!

If Xu Fengqiu really had any ability left, he wouldn't have let Medicine God Mountain go.

So the current Xu family is actually just the Xu family with normal strength. They may have some Mysterious Heaven Poisonous Weapons, but they are not to be feared.

He just used those two great battles to create his reputation and momentum.

This has led to no one daring to provoke the Xu family now, even those stronger than the Xu family.

But his Gu family doesn't believe in this evil.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

A maid hurriedly ran over.

"What is it?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"The Patriarch and the others… they… they…"

Gu Changsheng frowned: "Speak!"

"They were killed by the Xu family."

Gu Changsheng trembled all over.

"What!?"

Ah?

Gu Changsheng widened his eyes and stood up, looking shocked and dismayed.

Yes!

The Gu family and the Xu family were at odds!

Yes!

It was very likely that the negotiations would break down today.

But, his father, the Gu family's patriarch, and several Immortal Emperors went to visit the Xu family to discuss the wedding.

Under such circumstances, the Xu family could actually kill people?

Was there no justice, no law?

Did this Xu family not want any face or dignity?

These days, even those demonic sects wouldn't do such a thing.

Suppose a strong man from a certain sect went to a demonic sect, and the two sides were hostile forces.

Negotiating with them, even if the negotiations broke down, these people from the demonic cult would not kill them!

At most, they would kill two unimportant people to intimidate them.

Xu Fengqiu killed his father, the patriarch of the ten-thousand-year imperial clan, the Gu family!?

Was he crazy?

"Bastard Xu Fengqiu!"

Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth, his face ferocious, scaring the maid in front of him to tremble all over.

Gu Changsheng walked over, grabbed the maid's shoulders with both hands, and shook her violently: "Why! Xu Fengqiu! Why!"

The maid was so frightened that she cried, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Changsheng grabbed her neck, pinched it hard, and killed her.

Then he threw her to the ground and trampled on her corpse, kicking her hard.

"Xu Fengqiu! Xu Fengqiu!"

Gu Changsheng seemed to be treating the maid as Xu Fengqiu, trampling on her corpse.

He vented for a long time.

Gu Changsheng took a breath, his eyes blood red.

He waved his hand, cleaned up the scene, and quickly left the Young Master's Pavilion.

…

And this news once again shocked the Nine Provinces.

"Have you heard? The Gu family's patriarch, Gu Fangzhou, took several Immortal Emperors to the Xu family to discuss the wedding, and they were all killed on the spot by the Xu family."

"I have heard of it. This Xu family's Xu Fengqiu is simply crazy! Do they not consider what the consequences will be?"

"For so many years, even if famous and upright sects went to demonic sects, this kind of thing would not have happened. It's simply shocking. Does this Xu family really not care about face at all?"

"Does the Xu family just let Xu Fengqiu do whatever he wants! Now it's good, the war between the ten-thousand-year imperial clan, the Gu family, and the Xu family, can the Xu family resist?"

"On paper, the Xu family is definitely not a match for the Gu family. The variable is Xu Fengqiu. The fact that his Xu family dares to do this means that they must have a trump card."

"Yes, the lessons of Misty Peak and the Medicine Emperor Sect are here. Let's see what shocking methods Xu Fengqiu can come up with this time."

"…"

Medicine God Mountain.

"Sect Master, this Xu Fengqiu is really crazy. It's fine if Xu Fengqiu has no face as an Immortal Emperor, but this Xu family is also messing around. The people from the Gu family went to their Xu family to discuss matters, and they were killed."

Sect Master Li Baishan nodded: "Yes, this is simply a turd-stirrer of the Nine Provinces. Such a person has no vision, no demeanor of a strong man. How did he enter the Dao with poetry?"

"Sect Master, this time, should our Medicine God Mountain intervene?"

Li Baishan shook his head: "No need, the Gu family is not weak either. Let them try Xu Fengqiu's methods. I want to see what methods Xu Fengqiu has to deal with the Gu family this time."

What Xu Fengqiu had done was too heaven-defying.

But, heaven-defying things are already rare. How is it possible for the same person to constantly do heaven-defying things in a short period of time?

These few things that Xu Fengqiu has done have caused everyone's judgment of Immortal Emperors and ten-thousand-year imperial clans and Emperor-level sects to go wrong.

How could Immortal Emperors, this level of power, be so easily destroyed when facing existences similar to themselves?

It was as simple as a ten-thousand-year imperial clan taking action against an ordinary martial artist family.

It wasn't like this before.

…

Gu family's main hall.
