Chapter 553: Chapter 272 Soon Returning, The Number One Person in the Northern Domain!_2

"The honor that should be received has been accepted."

"Being overly polite back and forth can put too much pressure on others."

The Gu Family Ancestor shook his head and smiled as he made this reminder.

"Indeed..."

"My Young Master of the Gu Family has extraordinary talents."

"He has also established a Blessed Land in Central State for our Gu Family, and he truly deserves to be respectfully greeted by all members of our family!"

Gu Wanquan listened to the Ancestor’s words and nodded very seriously.

Even he himself, upon arriving at the Central State Sword Sect for the first time, had received special treatment because of the Young Master’s presence.

He was even now able to cultivate in such a treasured place as First Saint Son Peak!

Not to mention, the Young Master had also opened up a Blessed Land Cave Heaven for the Gu Family within the Sword Sect, drawing three Spirit Veins, comparable to the cultivation Blessed Lands of the top families in Central State!

Any single one of those feats was enough for him to enjoy the worship of everyone in the Gu Family!

"Well, if there’s nothing else, let’s set off."

"Shouldn’t we make our presence felt in the Northern Domain?"

The Gu Family Ancestor looked up at the northern sky, suddenly feeling a surge of ambitious pride.

In the past, although the Gu Family was always one of the three great powers, they always had to guard against the wolf-like ambitions of the Royal Family of the Northern Domain.

But now?

The entire Northern Domain was dominated solely by the Gu Family!

The Royal Family of the Northern Domain was no longer a concern!

Moreover, this lad planned to make his Wife the next Empress of the Northern Domain.

At that time, the Royal Family of the Northern Domain would instead become one of the supporters of the Gu Family.

It would be a special case of peaceful coexistence, and the Gu Family need not target the Northern Domain Royal Family.

Without further ado, the Gu Family Ancestor summoned a Flying Boat and took the two of them away from the Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect, heading straight back to the Northern Domain.

The Flying Boat bore the flags of the Sword Sect.

It even had the emblem of First Saint Son Peak!

It was specially crafted for his elevation to First Saint Son Peak!

Knowing that the Gu Family was located in the Northern Domain, he would definitely need to travel frequently between the two, and as the distinguished First Saint Son of the Sword Sect, it certainly wouldn’t do to always travel by air!

As for the previous Lu Xian, since he didn’t need it, there was no special Flying Boat crafted for him.

The moment the Flying Boat left the Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect, many Sword Sect Disciples took notice and paid their respects towards it.

That was the Flying Boat of their Senior Brother Gu of the First Saint Son Peak!

Just the hundreds of Arrays inscribed on that Flying Boat were enough to annihilate a Sage Realm without any issues!

Its value was far more precious than ordinary Heavenly Rank Magical Treasures!

It was almost equivalent to the value of a Heavenly Rank Supreme Treasure!

...

[Northern Domain, Gu Family’s main city]

From the moment Gu Changge set off, Gu Zhan had already received the news.

He summoned many Elders to the Council Hall.

"The Ancestor will return today, taking the first group of our Gu Family to Central State."

Gu Zhan swept his gaze over the various Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elders as he spoke.

"The Ancestor is personally taking us?"

"When will we return?"

"Forget it, let’s just go out and wait."

Hearing this, the Gu Family Elders immediately lit up, excitedly agreeing to wait in front of the mansion for the Ancestor.

"Also, the Young Master will accompany the Ancestor."

Gu Zhan waved his hand and continued.

"The Young Master is also coming back!?"

"What are you old folks waiting for then!"

"Why waste time here!"

"Go go go, let’s meet them outside the city!"

"If you delay the greeting for the Young Master, can you bear the responsibility!"

Initially reassured by his gesture, the Gu Family Elders, upon learning that the Young Master was also returning, exploded into action!

Without waiting for Gu Zhan to speak further, they were already clamoring out of the Council Hall, soaring into the air, and rushing towards the city’s outskirts!

"..."

Watching this scene, Gu Zhan couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

These people were truly extraordinary!

The Ancestor returned and you only spoke of greeting outside the mansion, yet for that lad’s return, you directly rush out of the city to meet him?

"Can’t handle the responsibility?"

However, when thinking about the many things that Changge had achieved recently, even the Gu family’s imminent relocation to Central State was only possible because of him.

Gu Zhan also silently shook his head and followed the numerous Gu Family Elders toward the outskirts of Gu Family’s main city.

At the same time, he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart!

Previously, these elders regarded the Young Master more highly than even him, the Family Head, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Now, in their eyes, the Young Master was even more important than the Ancestor, so it seemed he, the Family Head... wasn’t at a loss anymore!

"What’s the situation today?"

"Why are all the great powers of the Gu Family coming out of the city to wait?"

"Need you ask? It must be Young Master Gu returning!"

"Who else could cause such a stir, warranting all the elders of the Gu Family to come out of the city to welcome him?"

Seeing such a commotion in the Gu Family, the cultivators within the main city also speculated that the Young Master Gu, who shocked the Northern Domain, was returning!

Many young cultivators, including the young descendants of the Gu Family, voluntarily went to the outskirts of the main city, silently waiting to see the first prodigy to emerge from the Northern Domain!

From early morning until evening!

Not only did no one leave because of impatience, but more and more people gathered!

Even cultivators from other cities who heard the news came to catch a glimpse of Young Master Gu’s elegance!

In mid-air, the Gu Family Elders, surveying the crowd below, also felt immense pride in their hearts.

This was their Young Master Gu!

Merely the news of his return was enough to make all the cultivators in the Northern Domain wait just to catch a glimpse!

"He’s here!"

Suddenly, Gu Zhan’s gaze sharpened, sighting a streak of light rapidly approaching!

The Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elders of Gu Family also noticed the swiftly approaching flying boat for the first time!

They quickly straightened their robes, as meeting the young master required presenting their best selves to avoid leaving any bad impression!

"Such incredible speed!"

The cultivators watching in the area, a few moments later, also noticed the flying boat and exclaimed in surprise.

In no more than a breath’s time, the flying boat had already crossed nearly a hundred miles and hovered in front of Gu Family’s main city.

Gu Changge stood at the front of the flying boat, hands behind his back, letting the wind flutter his dark long robe.

He truly had an immortal-like demeanor.

"Welcome, Young Master!"

The Gu Family Elders had rehearsed this moment in their hearts thousands of times, and now seeing the flying boat hovering, they all bowed and saluted in unison!

Even Gu Zhan, the Family Head, bowed towards the flying boat.

Facing the salute from the Gu Family, Gu Changge merely nodded slightly.

Recalling the Ancestor’s words, he chose not to continue displaying undue humility.

After all, the Gu family members gathered outside the city, implying his stature in their hearts had greatly changed.

Being too polite would, conversely, make them uneasy and might stress them out.

"Is that Young Master Gu?"

"Rumors indeed weren’t false; Young Master Gu is not only powerful but also looks so handsome..."

"My family has a young sister who is quite pretty; I should call her to Gu Family’s main city these next few days. Maybe she’ll have a pleasant encounter with Young Master Gu, and then our Li family might soar in status!"

"Stop dreaming. Young Master Gu’s Daoist couple is either the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess, the Little Princess of the Northern Domain, or even a Sword Immortal from Central State!"

"Being handsome isn’t enough to catch Young Master Gu’s eye!"

Many cultivators, upon seeing Gu Changge’s figure, also exclaimed in admiration.

A Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power, only a few could be found throughout the entire Northern Domain!

How old is he now?

In his twenties, he has already become the undisputed number one figure in the Northern Domain!

Who wouldn’t be envious?

"Young Master, please!"

Seeing Young Master Gu nod slightly, the Gu Family Elders actively cleared the way and welcomed the flying boat into the city.

Technically, there were rules about where the flying boat should dock, but rules are dead, and if we strictly followed the rules, people might be dead too!

The rules of the Young Master are the rules of the Gu Family; any rules that are not beneficial to the Young Master should be disregarded!

As the flying boat entered the city, they also noticed that the flying boat looked extraordinary!

Just the aura emitted from its array made these Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm cultivators feel chilled!

If that array on the boat were activated, it could turn them, the experts of the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, to ashes in an instant!

Is this the kind of treatment the young master receives now in the Sword Sect?

Under the protection of the Gu Family Elders, the flying boat had by now arrived above the Gu Family Mansion.

At that moment, Gu Changge noticed that inside the Gu Family Mansion, a specific area had been cleared and modified just for his flying boat to dock...

Surely, the Gu Family was really considerate towards him!
