Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Three hundred years ago, Cao Guo Feng and Gu Yun Yang had indeed arranged for a showdown. The duo fought for a day and a night, and still, a winner couldn’t be determined. This matter was kept secret, and no one was to divulge it. If any one of them achieved a breakthrough, then they would arrange again for another match!

Cao Guo Feng had always kept his word and not mentioned it to anyone else. But today, he was hearing of this matter from Gu Yun Yang’s grandson! And the battle result of being evenly matched was altered to him begging for mercy on the ground pitifully, and the reason why he was still alive was because he was spared his life! What nonsense was this?! If such talk is really spread around, can I still remain alive?!

He couldn’t help but turn over and look at Gu Yun Yang with a look of disdain.

Gu Yun Yang’s face flushed red. “Brother Cao, please don’t misunderstand! How can there be such a thing?! It’s all rubbish that those little b*stards blindly fabricated…”

Cao Guo Feng had plenty of experience to tell with one look at Gu Yun Yang’s attitude that the matter about their showdown had become an accomplishment that Gu Yun Yang used to flaunt to the juniors of his family. The outcome of the battle may not be as pathetic as Gu Fei Yu had made it sound, but it definitely wouldn’t be any better.

His face couldn’t help but turn as cold as ice. He nodded his head and said, “Great! Great! Great! Great brother! Great friend! A great grandson you’ve groomed there! Great, great, great, I have lived in vain for hundreds of years now. I’ve only come to learn something new today… I really didn’t know that the Gu Family is so powerful in the Misty Illusory Manor. For so many years, I’ve really been ignorant and inexperienced…”

A look of sincere embarrassment appeared on Gu Yun Yang’s face. He really couldn’t figure this out. This was such a private matter—only him and Cao Guo Feng, the two who were involved, knew of it. How did his grandson find out?!

Cao Guo Feng definitely did not divulge it; even if he did, he wouldn’t make himself sound that bad, so the problem obviously lay with Gu Yun Yang himself. But in his memories, he clearly did not mention this matter to anyone!

Fortuitously, in one of his drunken stupors, this old man had unintentionally brought up the battle between him and Cao Guo Feng. Before his sons and juniors, this drunken Old Master Gu naturally exaggerated the outcome of the battle by a little bit, changing it from being evenly matched to him slightly standing in a more advantageous position.

But it was a pity that under the exaggeration of the juniors, it became more and more exaggerated and ultimately became like this! And it was because of this misinformation that Gu Fei Yu assumed that Mo Jun Ye who had Cao Guo Feng as his support could not afford to offend him. And that was why he so boldly tried to find trouble for Young Master Jun. From his understanding, even if Cao Guo Feng came looking for a fight, he had his grandfather backing him up, so why would he take Young Master Jun’s warnings to heart?

Cao Guo Feng was extremely enraged! Gu Yun Yang who knew he was in the wrong instantly vented all of his anger on his unlucky grandson. In a flash, he slapped Gu Yun Yang heavily across his face with a crisp pa ! “Evil creature! What bullsh*t are you spouting! Hurry up and apologize to Saint Emperor Cao and his disciple!”

This slap was clearly an act of disciplining his grandson. It was loud and clear, but he did not use much strength in it. It was just a form of warning, leaving room for both sides to reconcile.

But what no one had expected was that the hysterical look frozen on Gu Fei Yu’s face turned into one that was dull, and his face turned pale. Then, his head tilted back and he spat a mouthful of blood into the air!

Fresh blood scattered down like mist, covering the entire space instantly. Then, he spat another mouth of blood again. It was so intense that it splat onto the ceiling!

Blood poured out of Gu Fei Yu’s mouth. His entire body trembled as he swayed unsteadily. Then, he suddenly fell onto the ground heavily, his legs twitching, his mouth still spitting mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood.

He was already unconscious!

Young Master Gu, who was still showing off his might just a moment ago, was now lying on the floor in a precarious state! His life was hanging in the balance!

This sudden change of situation was beyond everyone’s expectations. The two old men couldn’t be bothered to argue over this; Gu Yun Yang instantly picked up his grandson and checked his pulse. He couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock!

The condition of the meridians in Gu Fei Yu’s body was unusually odd, flickering between strong and weak. When it was strong, it was hammering about intensely, when it was weak, it could barely be detected. His Qi and blood flow were showing obvious signs of damage, on the verge of having all his blood explode in his body and dying at any moment.

From head to toe, including his upper and lower dantian, all Xuan Qi was messed up and disorderly…

Even someone who had never cultivated Xuan Qi and was on the verge of dying would not have a peculiar symptom that was terrible to this extent!

Even if one suffered from the Devil’s Bite during practice, it wouldn’t be as bad as how Gu Fei Yu was now… Even a Saint Emperor’s powers and cultivation were unable to rescue him…

What exactly is going on?

Gu Yun Yang was frozen, squatting on the ground. He used all his might to recall how much strength he had used earlier, but the more he tried to recall, the more confused he was. He clearly did not use any Xuan Qi and only used the strength of a regular slap. Why did his grandson suffer such a severe injury?

If he had really used strength, why couldn’t he remember it? Besides, even if he did accidentally use his strength and hurt his grandson, it was more likely that he killed him with a single slap. It wouldn’t cause his body to become like this, ah!

His mind became blank the more he tried to figure it out.

“What exactly is going on?” Gu Yun Yang mumbled to himself. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he lifted his head and looked at Miao Xiao Miao and Jun Mo Xie with a cold stare. He asked coldly, “What exactly is going on?!”

Two sentences that were exactly the same. The first was purely a question directed to himself, whereas the second one was extremely accusatory, directed at the male and female before him. Old Master Gu assumed that in this restaurant, before the two of them had arrived, someone had used some underhanded method on Gu Fei Yu…

As to who the person is… Mo Jun Ye involved an important party, but had pathetic cultivation despite his Free and Natural Physique. But that underhanded act was extremely peculiar and not the work of any ordinary expert. That lad is definitely not capable of it. So the only possible person who did it was Miao Xiao Miao!

Then, he continued to delve deeper. His grandson had ultimately been pestering Miao Xiao Miao. Gu Yun Yang was well aware of this unrequited romance. Could it be that this lass is sick of being pestered and actually developed an intention to kill? Making use of this opportunity today to deliver the fatal blow and drawing that Mo ;ad into the situation, causing Cao Guo Feng to get involved. So ultimately, it became a feud between the Gu Family and Cao Guo Feng and the six other Saint Emperors while she stayed out of it?!

Could it really be like this?!

Old Master Gu was more affirmed of his speculations the more he thought about it, and the way he looked at Miao Xiao Miao also became increasingly hostile. If not because Miao Xiao Miao had a unique background and exceptionally strong support behind her, Gu Yun Yang would already have captured her!

Miao Xiao Miao jolted. She was a clever girl, instantly figuring out what Gu Yun Yang meant by his sentence. She had even figured out what Gu Yun Yang was thinking when he asked this question. Noticing Old Master Gu’s hostile glare, she couldn’t help but feel startled.

What sort of great misfortune and bad luck is this ah! What do I have to do with this? It’s your grandson that has been pestering me everyday, leaving me frustrated beyond words. I haven’t even said anything about it. Now he, for some reason, got injured, and you actually are thinking of pinning this on me?

Miao Xiao Miao felt incensed by this. But there was still no change in her expression. She replied indifferently. “Old Master Gu’s question is odd; how could the two of us not know what exactly is going on? Just now, we were still watching Young Master Gu aggressively scolding others loudly, so how come he suddenly became like this? What… exactly is going on?”

Miao Xiao Miao’s reply was as good as not giving one. Not only did it not explain anything, it instead returned Gu Yun Yang’s last sentence back to him, without changing a single word.

She may have figured out the situation, but she had not realized that Gu Yun Yang’s injuries had put his life at risk. If not because Gu Yun Yang’s life was in danger, with Miao Xiao Miao’s background, Gu Yun Yang may not necessarily dare treat her like this!

Miao Xiao Miao pushed this question back, driving Gu Yun Yang’s anger to boiling point. But he couldn’t do anything due to her status, so he scoffed heavily and used all his strength to transfer his Xuan Qi to treat his grandson’s injuries, even ignoring Cao Guo Feng who was beside him…

When Miao Xiao Miao saw Gu Yun Yang, she was still thinking of carefully explaining the entire matter in great detail. In this way, at least she would be able to remove herself from this situation. But from the way Gu Yun Yang instantly accused and questioned her, she suddenly felt a surge of disgust!

Old Master Gu, how mighty of you! What basis do you have to accuse me like this? You have no right to question me like this, in terms of status or position! Because of this reason, she swallowed the words that she wanted to say back, reluctant to lower her status…

At the same time, she developed some doubts in her mind. It seemed that Gu Fei Yu was still fine just now, so why did he suddenly become like this, as if his life is in danger? This change is too bizarre? It’s just anger, plus a slap that used no Xuan Qi… It shouldn’t have become this serious…

She was unaware and even everyone present doesn’t know that Gu Fei Yu had indeed sustained severe injuries, and his life was at risk!
