Chapter 931: Chapter 932: Sword Young Master

"Such terrifying strength. I didn’t expect that this person just broke through the Life and Death Realm, stepped onto the Life and Death Platform, and already possesses such a formidable power!"

The Family Head of the Gu family felt the terrifying aura emanating from Chu Fengmian and couldn’t help but murmur in astonishment.

From Chu Fengmian, although not much terrifying spiritual power was emitted, just standing beside him, one could feel an invisible pressure.

Even without moving, it was enough to make the Family Head of the Gu family feel an invisible pressure, which was far beyond the level of the Gu Family Head.

"I wonder what level Mr. Chu’s strength has reached now?"

The Family Head of the Gu family suddenly asked.

Hmm?

Chu Fengmian was somewhat surprised by the Gu Family Head’s inquiry but still opened his mouth to speak.

"Please be careful, Family Head Gu."

In the instant that he spoke, Chu Fengmian faintly mobilized the spiritual power within him, transforming it into a terrifying pressure that directly enveloped the Gu Family Head.

The mind of the Gu Family Head instantly turned blank under this pressure, his face a look of extreme fear.

Although Chu Fengmian retracted his pressure in just a moment, it was still enough to leave the Gu Family Head dazed for a while.

"Terrifying! This person’s strength has indeed reached an incredibly frightening level! This pressure is practically no different from an Emperor’s!"

The Gu Family Head was utterly shocked.

Even the pressure alone was enough to leave him powerless to resist.

The Gu Family Head, himself, is one of the strongest figures among the ancestors, yet even his pressure-left him with no strength to resist.

It would take an Emperor to achieve such a feat.

"If this person were to intervene, perhaps he could save Jin’er this time, but...!"

The Family Head of the Gu family sighed inwardly with a few traces of conflict in his eyes.

"What trouble has Family Head Gu encountered?"

Chu Fengmian said casually, as if he had thought of something.

"Where is Miss Jin? Why isn’t she in Ningzhou Ancient City?"

Upon arriving at Ningzhou Ancient City, Chu Fengmian noticed that Gu Jin was not present there. Initially, Chu Fengmian hadn’t thought much about it.

But now, observing the Gu Family Head’s demeanor, there were clearly some hidden circumstances.

"This trouble is actually related to Jin’er."

The Family Head of the Gu family looked at Chu Fengmian and slowly spoke.

"Just a few days ago, a young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect suddenly came to Ningzhou Ancient City. He originally intended to purchase a batch of spiritual medicine, but he suddenly took a liking to Jin’er and wants to take her as a concubine."

"Oh? Isn’t that a good thing? Why does Family Head Gu seem so unhappy?"

Upon hearing the words of the Family Head of the Gu family, Chu Fengmian slightly raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise.

A young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, to become a young master, one would need to be an outstanding genius among the younger generation of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Considering the status of the Gu family, if Gu Jin were to marry this young master, naturally, their status would rise as well.

But now, it seems that the intention of the Family Head of the Gu family is different.

"Mr. Chu might not be aware, but that young master has countless concubines, with wives and concubines numbering in the thousands. Moreover, what he practices is a method focused on absorbing vital essences."

The Family Head of the Gu family said with a troubled expression.

"That young master looks at Jin’er merely as an object to absorb vitality from. In less than three months, Jin’er will surely die."

"Just a few days ago, that young master already sent the bridal gifts, stating that in the next few days, he will come to take Jin’er away. I am powerless and can only send Jin’er to another city to hide for a while."

"A method for absorbing vital essences? The people of the Heavenly Sword Sect practicing such a demon technique."

Upon hearing the Family Head of the Gu family, Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned icy.

The method of absorbing vital essences is quite rare in the Nine Domains nowadays, but Chu Fengmian knows all too well that this is a kind of demon technique.

Some male martial artists practice it, allowing them to absorb the cultivation of other women for their use. The cruelest aspect is that after absorption, if the woman is lucky, she might survive like an ordinary person; if not, she would directly perish.

This is an indisputable demon technique; to think that the Heavenly Sword Sect, which prides itself on righteousness, has disciples practicing such demon techniques.

"Since I’ve come to Ningzhou Ancient City, it is fate, and I will certainly not let Gu Jin become a victim of that young master’s vital essence absorption."

Chu Fengmian said fiercely.

"Who is that young master? What is his background?"

"That young master is named Jian Zongjie, a talented young master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Despite his young age, he has already reached the realm of Heart Refinement."

The Family Head of the Gu family quickly spoke.

"This person is not easy to deal with, but I can at least maneuver around him. However, his master, on the other hand, is a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, an Emperor known as the Smoke Emperor."

To think an Emperor would intervene, Jian Zongjie indeed has an extraordinary background.

Chu Fengmian’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Good, now his Divine Tree wants to grow, and it needs the blood of an Emperor to do so.

Originally, Chu Fengmian had no idea where to obtain the blood of an Emperor. Now, it seems, they are presenting themselves.

"I see. Family Head Gu, you should bring Miss Gu Jin back."

Chu Fengmian looked at the Family Head of the Gu family, speaking calmly.

"But, it is said that Jian Zongjie’s master, the Smoke Emperor, will also personally come."

The Family Head of the Gu family said with some nervousness.

"So what? Just an Emperor, if he comes, I’ll use his blood to consecrate my sword."

Chu Fengmian said casually.

"Go ahead, just an Emperor; I don’t take him seriously at all."

Just an Emperor; I don’t take him seriously at all.

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s arrogant words, even the Family Head of the Gu family dared not retort; the aura around Chu Fengmian was simply too terrifying.

So much so that whatever Chu Fengmian declared became unquestionable, leaving him without the courage to refute in the slightest.

"Very well, I’ll go get Jin’er back immediately."

The Family Head of the Gu family hastily sent out a jade talisman.

The two of them sat in the palace.

Before long, a tunneling light landed steadily within the Gu family.

It was Gu Jin.

Compared to the last time they met, Gu Jin’s strength had further improved, reaching the Ninth Level of the Life and Death Realm.

Thus, the distance to breaking through to the Life and Death Realm, stepping onto the Life and Death Platform, and achieving the status of an ancestor wasn’t far.

"Mr. Chu."

Gu Jin approached from afar, and immediately saw Chu Fengmian, felt the terrifying momentum around him, which made her feel a bit afraid.

The last time she saw Chu Fengmian, she was already somewhat shocked by his strength.

Seeing him today, Chu Fengmian’s strength was even more terrifying than the last time he came to Ningzhou Ancient City.

"Gu Jin, you’re back. Seems like you’ve finally made up your mind to marry Young Master Jian."

As Gu Jin returned to the palace, a voice suddenly called out from outside.
