Chapter 659: Encountering the Gu Family

“Where the fuck is that bitch, Min Li?! We have been waiting here for almost a week! She should be here by now!” Gu Tao shouted in an angry voice when he lost his patience.

“Do you think we were fooled by the Min Family?” He then asked his father, who was sitting beside him inside the carriage.

“That’s not possible. He wouldn’t lie about something like this. It would only damage his family’s reputation, and you know how much we value our face. Furthermore, this is Min Li that we’re talking about. They wouldn’t sacrifice their family’s reputation for her. Why do you think they sold her to us in the first place?”

“That makes sense… However, that doesn’t change the fact that Min Li isn’t here. We came here immediately after leaving the Min Family, so there’s no way that we’d missed her.” Gu Tao said.

“That’s also not possible. I had spoken to the people here. None of them have seen Min Li, and she’s one eye-catching girl.”

“Then how long are we going to wait? We cannot stay here forever, not to mention that wedding that is supposed to be in three days!” Gu Tao sighed out loud.

“There’s nothing we can do but wait.”

It was at this moment the Gu Family noticed a group of individuals approaching their direction, and all but one of them were kingdom-toppling beauties.

However, Gu Tao only had one person in his eyes— a young lady with a familiar face!

“Wow, so that is the Stairway to Heaven, huh? It’s much grander than I’d anticipated.” Yuan mumbled in awe as he gazed upon the massive staircase that hovered in the air not far in the distance.

There were only a total of 9 steps on this staircase, but it was so massive that it filled the sky and seemed like it was created for giants, and there was a beautiful golden door at the end of the ninth step.

“I have never seen such a big staircase before. It’s almost as though it was created for giants.” Chu Liuxiang mumbled in a dazed voice.

“Speaking of giants… Do they exist in the cultivation world?” Yuan asked.

“They do.” Feng Yuxiang nodded.

“However, they only exist in the upper heavens now.”

“Have you seen one before?” Meixiu asked her.

“I have met a few when I was still living up there. They’re all incredibly powerful beings with unrivaled strength. They are also born with near-indestructible bodies.”

“I want to meet one now.” Yuan smiled.

“By the way, that’s not the real Stairway to Heaven.” Feng Yuxiang suddenly said.

“Then where is the real one?”

“It’s inside that golden door,” she said.

“Is that so…”

“Yuan…” Min Li suddenly tucked his robes.

“Hm? What’s the matter?”

“Do you see that large carriage in front of us? It’s the Gu Family,” she said with a worried frown.

“Gu Family? The family you were supposed to marry into?” Yuan asked for confirmation.

“Yes.” Min Li nodded.

“What are they doing here? Do you think they’re here to find you?”

“I cannot think of any other reason for them to be here. It’s too much of a coincidence.”

“You don’t have to worry about them. I will protect you if they try anything funny.” Yuan said.

And right as they were about to pass the carriage, someone suddenly shouted, “Halt!”

The next moment, Gu Tao and his father, alongside many guards surrounded them.

“Min Li! How dare you run away from our marriage! Hurry up and come back to the family with me and I will make you the happiest woman in this world!” Gu Tao stepped forward and patted his chest.

“I refuse. I left the Min Family for a reason, Gu Tao. I’d rather kill myself than join your family.” Min Li sneered.

“Let’s not make things difficult, Min Li.” The middle-aged man standing behind Gu Tao suddenly spoke.

“Even if you run away from the Min Family, where can you go?”

“Where I go is none of your business!”

The middle-aged man turned to look at the Stairway to Heaven behind him and laughed.

“Do you really think you have the capabilities to ascend through the stairway as a Spirit Warrior? Have you lost your damn mind?”

“Who said that she’ll be climbing by herself?” Yuan suddenly stepped forward, standing between Min Li and the Gu Family.

“And who the hell are you? Do you know who we are?” Gu Tao immediately frowned at Yuan’s presence that felt threatening for some reason.

“My name is Yuan. And you’re one of the Seven Legacy Families, right?”

“If you know, get the fuck out of the way before you lose your life. I am trying to speak with my woman here.” Gu Tao narrowed his eyes.

Because they have been waiting at the Stairway to Heaven for the past week, they have not heard about Yuan’s most recent achievement yet. If they knew Yuan had eliminated the Blood Sect by himself, they wouldn’t dare to disrespect him in such a manner.

“And you must have a death wish, speaking to my Young Master in such a foul manner.” Feng Yuxiang tried to step forward but was blocked by Yuan.

“So what if you’re one of the Seven Legacy Families? Min Li has already stated that she won’t marry into your family. Furthermore, she will be ascending the Stairway to Heaven with me.”

Veins began popping up on Gu Tao’s forehead.

“Min Li, don’t tell me that you’d abandoned your family and risk offending mine just to be together with this nobody? Have you gone insane?!” Gu Tao growled in a cold voice.

“If he’s a nobody, then you’re less than trash, Gu Tao. You have no idea who you’re messing with.” Min Li shook her head.

The middle-aged man then said, “I have had enough of this nonsense. If you don’t want to follow us back willingly, we’ll force you! Get her!”

The guards immediately pointed their weapons at Yuan and the others.

“I have also had enough with your Gu Family!” Feng Yuxiang suddenly shouted, releasing her Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base.
