The Gu Family indeed originates from the Ghost Devouring Clan.

This matter, to trace back, must go back at least a few thousand years.

Even the Gu Family themselves do not know if their ancestors from thousands of years ago were direct blood relatives of the Ghost Devouring Clan, or if they merely inherited their legacy.

But regardless of which it was, it remains an absolute secret within the Gu Family.

And now, it was revealed in a few words by an outsider.

The shock to them is imaginable.

Faced with Gu Cangchu's questioning, Yu Fengtian merely sneered coldly.

"Why do dead men need to know so much?"

As he spoke, he reached out with a claw-like gesture, and a terrifying claw formed of black energy shot towards Gu Cangchu.

Seeing this, Gu Shunde roared angrily.

"Vice Clan Leader, you must go quickly, I'll hold him off."

After speaking, Gu Shunde growled fiercely, took out a blood-red pill, and swallowed it in one gulp. In the next moment, the True Qi within his body burst forth like an explosion, and his aura instantly more than doubled.

He then charged directly at Yu Fengtian, delivering a fierce punch.

The powerful punch force blasted forward.

Gu Cangchu, full of grief and indignation, nevertheless turned around without hesitation and fled, transforming into a shadow as he sped off into the distance.

Bang!

The assaults of Gu Shunde and Yu Fengtian collided fiercely.

However, Yu Fengtian's black claw unexpectedly tore apart Gu Shunde's punch force.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shunde's face changed drastically. He roared in anger, a decisive light flashing in his eyes, and his body began to swell rapidly.

"You're thinking of self-destructing?"

Yu Fengtian sneered.

"What a waste to self-destruct."

"I'd rather consume you."

After speaking, his hands danced, and strands of black energy swirled like endless swimming dragons towards Gu Shunde.

In an instant, Gu Shunde was ensnared.

Meanwhile, his inflating body began to be torn apart, and momentarily transformed into chunks of flesh and blood.

Gu Shunde's screams echoed long, but soon ceased.

Subsequently, Yu Fengtian grasped with both hands, reducing Gu Shunde to a mass of essence blood.

He then swallowed it whole.

A peak Emperor Realm expert of the Gu Family completely vanished.

After consuming Gu Shunde, Yu Fengtian licked his lips, seemingly savoring the taste. He glanced in the direction where Gu Cangchu had fled, but did not pursue him. Instead, he sneered and said:

"You've been watching for quite some time, why not show yourself?"

"Or should I personally invite you out!"

Upon hearing this, the void not far behind Yu Fengtian suddenly shook violently.

In the next moment, two figures appeared quietly.

If Zhou Yu were here, he would immediately recognize this person as Jian Xu's son, Jian Chen, of the Divine Sword Sect's Supreme Elder.

And in his hand, he was dragging a person with bloody flesh.

This person was none other than the recently escaped Gu Cangchu.

Yu Fengtian narrowed his eyes, scrutinized Jian Chen, and then glanced at Gu Cangchu in Jian Chen's hand, revealing a sinister smile that made one's scalp tingle.

"Did you see all that just now?"

Yu Fengtian said with a half-smile.

Jian Chen smiled slightly and nodded:

"I saw it, Senior's methods are indeed impressive."

"I greatly admire you."

Yu Fengtian laughed and said:

"Since you've seen it, and yet you didn't run, it seems you have some confidence indeed."

Jian Chen smiled subtly and said:

"In front of Senior, I dare not claim to be confident."

"I am Jian Chen from the Divine Sword Sect."

"This person, consider it a gift from the junior to the senior. I hope you accept it with a smile."

After speaking, Jian Chen tossed Gu Cangchu over.

Yu Fengtian did not hesitate, reaching out to catch Gu Cangchu. As the black energy burst forth, Gu Cangchu didn't even make a sound, turning into a mass of essence blood before Yu Fengtian consumed him in one gulp.

Having just devoured three Emperor Realm experts consecutively, Yu Fengtian's aura surged once more. At this moment, he completely entered the Emperor Realm.

Of course, this was just the Emperor Realm measured by the Martial Artist Realm standards; no one truly knew Yu Fengtian's real strength.

Seeing this, Jian Chen smiled, seemingly unsurprised.

And as for Yu Fengtian, he casually remarked:

"The Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect is called Jian Xu, right?"

"Jian Xu is a deep and unfathomable person, quite a character."

"Having you come to the Blood Sky Secret Treasure, he surely has something important for you to retrieve."

Jian Chen smiled slightly and said:

"What you said, Senior, is indeed true."

"I came to the Blood Sky Secret Treasure with an important matter at hand."

"However, the reason I waited here for you, Senior, is that I have something I'd like to collaborate on with you."

Yu Fengtian squinted his eyes and said:

"Are you referring to Zhou Yu?"

Though Yu Fengtian revealed the truth so openly, Jian Chen was not at all surprised. He replied:

"Senior, Zhou Yu is a common adversary for us. Moreover, he harbors many secrets. No matter how extraordinary Senior's skills are, if you battle him alone, I'm afraid..."

Before Jian Chen could finish, Yu Fengtian interrupted.

He said plainly:

"Kid, you don't need to waste so many words on me."

"That kid Zhou Yu is beyond your capabilities."

"If you want to die, by all means, go."

Clearly, Yu Fengtian had no intention of cooperating.

Jian Chen's face darkened, but he continued patiently:

"With such heaven-defying capabilities, Senior, are you satisfied with just reaching the First Grade Emperor Realm?"

"By teaming up with me, I can help you ascend to the Peak of the Emperor Realm, or perhaps even into the Ancestor Realm."

"Isn't Senior interested?"

Yu Fengtian sneered.

"Regarding what you mentioned, I have my own means, you shouldn't concern yourself with it."

After saying this, Yu Fengtian's figure transformed into a ghost and was about to vanish.

But Jian Chen scoffed.

"Did I say you could leave before?"

"If you refuse to collaborate with me, then serve as my servant; I want to see what you are made of!"

After saying that, Jian Chen waved his hand sharply.

Instantly, the space around Yu Fengtian began to tremble violently, as if about to form a cage.

However, Yu Fengtian merely struck out furiously with a palm, transforming the black energy into a sharp arrow, tearing through the trembling space forcefully, then disappearing without a trace.

The next moment, behind the disrupted space, several figures appeared – the experts that Jian Chen brought along.

"Young Master, should we chase him?"

Jian Chen glared sullenly.

"That man is too enigmatic, forget it."

"Let's attend to the main business first!"

With that, Jian Chen left with his men.
