My son is about to break through.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you!"

A voice came from outside the knife sharpening hall. Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes and a terrifying knife intent flashed by.

"come in!"

He trailed off.

The tightly closed door of the Grinding Hall seemed to be opened by an invisible big hand, and Hongye walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, this is the news from the palace, please take a look!"

As she spoke, she had already handed over a secret letter with both hands.

Gu Qingfeng opened the secret letter and took a look at it, his eyes couldn't help but move slightly.

Subsequently.

He looked at the information panel.

……

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' encountered an invading enemy and suppressed a sixth-level Divine Transformation Realm cultivator with his severed finger!"

"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' suppressed the people of the Guiyuan Dynasty!"

"Your offspring 'Gu Yang'..."

……

"Guiyuan Dynasty!"

Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself.

When he saw Gu Yang suppress a sixth-level Divine Transformation Realm cultivator with his severed finger, Gu Qingfeng understood where the so-called severed finger came from.

Although the broken finger was only left when Gu Qingfeng just stepped into the Dao Palace realm, it cannot be compared with his current realm.

But even so.

That severed finger also showed the power of the Taoist Palace.

There is nothing shocking about suppressing a sixth-level Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

then.

Gu Qingfeng left the Knife Sharpening Hall and headed for the Imperial City.

It takes less than half a day.

Gu Qingfeng stepped into the imperial city.

Gu Yang also came to meet him as soon as possible.

"The child has seen his father!"

"I heard that there are cultivators from outside the Nine Provinces coming to attack. Where are they now?"

Gu Qingfeng asked straight to the point.

Gu Yang said: "I have already thrown them all into the prison, and will interrogate them when father comes!"

Gu Yang knew it was not easy to get such a strong man to tell the truth, so he simply asked Gu Qingfeng to come and see if the other party had any means to make him speak.

more importantly.

There is a force called Guiyuan Dynasty behind Han An and the other man, so Gu Yang does not dare to be careless.

The dynasty of destiny!

That is a force that is above the dynasty.

Now that he has become the leader of a dynasty, Gu Yang understands how powerful it is to control the destiny of a dynasty.

Even dynasties are like this.

If it is a dynasty.

That would be even more terrifying.

-

The dark prison was filled with the smell of dampness and moss.

Gu Qingfeng and Gu Yang walked into the Sky Prison, with no other guards following them.

"This prison is divided into nine floors. The first five floors are for ordinary prisoners, and the last four floors are for masters and above."

"Now the two are temporarily imprisoned in the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, which is made of black iron. Even if the Grandmaster uses all his strength, there is no real chance for them to escape.

If a strong person in the God Transformation Realm is imprisoned, as long as his cultivation has not fully recovered, he can be suppressed! "

After entering the Heavenly Prison, Gu Yang patiently explained to Gu Qingfeng.

He spent a lot of effort to build this prison.

For example, the black iron required for the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison is a rare treasure in Jiuzhou. If ordinary people get a little bit of it and mix it into weapons to forge them, they can get a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud.

This shows how precious black iron is.

If Gu Yang was not the lord of Jiuzhou now, he would not have been able to collect so much black iron to build the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison.

When the two entered the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison, it was as bright as day.

In two adjacent cells, there were two people, one old and one young.

Both men were covered in blood, their scapulas were pierced by iron hooks, but no blood flowed out of the wounds.

When he heard the sound of someone coming, Mr. Ke, who was leaning against the wall, opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Gu Yang and said with a sneer.

“I advise you to be sensible and leave with us. You cannot afford to offend the Guiyuan Dynasty, even if there are powerful Dao Palace masters in charge of the Shenwu Dynasty.

There are many powerful people in the Guiyuan Dynasty, and there are no fewer than a handful of powerful people in the Dao Palace realm alone."

"In addition, we have also left soul tablets in the Guiyuan Dynasty. If we die, the dynasty will definitely be the first to notice it."

"When the imperial army reaches the Nine Provinces, it will be too late for you to regret!"

At this point, Mr. Ke was not too panicked and was still using the Guiyuan Dynasty's reputation as an excuse.

In his opinion, Gu Yang did not kill him because he was afraid of the existence of Guiyuan Dynasty, so he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, even in the Eastern Region, the Guiyuan Dynasty is a powerful force. What can a mere Shenwu Dynasty count for in the eyes of the former?

however.

Facing Mr. Ke’s words, Gu Yang looked indifferent.

"I will give you another chance. Tell me the purpose of your coming here and all the information about the Guiyuan Dynasty. Perhaps I can let you live."

"Humph!"

Mr. Ke snorted coldly and did not answer.

See this.

Gu Yang's expression suddenly turned cold, and then he looked at Gu Qingfeng beside him.

"This person is a Half-Step Dao Palace Realm expert from the Guiyuan Dynasty. It's a pity that he is too stubborn. In this case, I'll have to trouble my father to come forward."

After hearing Gu Yang's words, Mr. Ke looked at Gu Qingfeng beside him with a look of doubt and uncertainty.

"Are you the Martial Saint Gu Qingfeng?"

This name.

Mr. Ke is certainly no stranger to this.

But in his calculations, this person should be a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm. But if Gu Yang hadn't said it, Mr. Ke would have almost regarded him as an ordinary person.

Think of this.

Mr. Ke was shocked again.

Even though his cultivation was sealed now, a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm would not be able to hide in front of him, but he could not see through the other party's strength at the moment, which was somewhat intriguing.

"It seems you have heard of my existence."

Gu Qingfeng walked slowly to Mr. Ke and looked at him calmly.

In this regard.

Mr. Ke was silent again.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head: "Looking at you, if I ask you, I'm afraid you won't want to speak. Well, since you don't want to say it, let me come and see it myself!"

"You want to search the soul!"

Mr. Ke seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and then he smiled contemptuously.

"You think you can search my soul? You are dreaming—"

however.

Before Mr. Ke could finish his words, a terrifying divine power had already appeared in Gu Qingfeng's body, and it violently broke into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness.

that moment.

Mr. Ke's expression changed drastically and his eyes became filled with fear.

"Dao Palace——"

He had just uttered two words when his expression became dull.

at the same time.

Gu Qingfeng's spiritual sense searched the other party's memory and soon found a lot of information.

The only pity is that the person in front of him is a strong man who has reached the half-step Dao Palace realm. Although he has not truly opened up the Dao Palace and cultivated his primordial spirit, his spiritual power is also quite powerful.

In addition, the other party has lived for thousands of years and has a very long memory. Even if Gu Qingfeng wants to review all his memories now, it would be difficult to do so.

but.

Even so.

Gu Qingfeng also got the information he wanted.

"Guiyuan Dynasty!"

"Royal offering!"

"The art of taming beasts... inherited from a saint!"

Gu Qingfeng murmured to himself, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the other person had become clear.

In Mr. Ke’s memory, the Guiyuan Dynasty was founded by a semi-saint powerful man one hundred thousand years ago.

since then.

The strength of the dynasty is growing stronger day by day.

Arrive now.

Although there are no semi-saint-level strongmen in the Guiyuan Dynasty, there are also several strong men in the Dao Palace realm. Among them, the Emperor Han who is in charge of the Guiyuan Dynasty is a strong man who is willing to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm.

As long as the other party does not die unexpectedly, it is very likely that he will enter the realm of semi-saint in the future.

Simultaneously.

Gu Qingfeng finally understood why Mr. Ke and the other man were able to find Jiuzhou.

The other party knew the art of taming beasts, and he could drive a large number of ferocious beasts to walk in the Ancient Beast Mountains. Then, based on the information fed back by these beasts, he found the location of Jiuzhou.

have to say.

Such means did indeed make Gu Qingfeng feel a little surprised.

It also indirectly explains the fundamental reason why the disasters caused by ferocious beasts in Jiuzhou have become more and more serious during this period.

As for the purpose of the two, it was just as Gu Qingfeng thought, they came for the saint's inheritance.

Even the Guiyuan Dynasty, which was once a top force with a semi-saint in charge, attaches great importance to the inheritance of saints.

There is a world of difference in strength between having a saint's inheritance and not having a saint's inheritance.

When Gu Qingfeng's spiritual thoughts faded away, Old Ke's face turned pale, and he looked at the other party with horror and sarcasm in his eyes.

"You already know the strength of our Guiyuan Dynasty. If you let us go now, there is still room for maneuver. Otherwise, it will be a dead end—"

"boom!"

Without waiting for Mr. Ke to finish his words, Gu Qingfeng snapped his fingers and caused his head to explode, killing him instantly.

It is true that those who are strong in the Divine Transformation Realm can regenerate severed limbs, but they cannot regenerate a lost head.

"Mr. Ke!"

When Han An in the cell next door saw the headless corpse, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. When he looked at Gu Qingfeng again, his face was full of fear.

"Do not kill me!"

"I am the Sixth Prince of the Guiyuan Dynasty. If you kill me, my father will not let you go!"

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng did not reply but came directly to his cell, Han An became more and more frightened.

"I said!"

"I'm willing to tell you anything, just don't kill me... don't..."

While talking.

A warm current was already flowing between Han An's crotch. The Sixth Prince of the Guiyuan Dynasty was completely frightened.

"I still believe what I see."

Gu Qingfeng shook his head, and immediately used methods to search his soul.

Searching Han An's memory is much easier than searching Ke Lao's memory. After all, there is a big gap between the two people's realms.

The former is only at the sixth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, while the latter has already stepped into the Half-Step Dao Palace Realm.

soon.

Han An's memory was searched thoroughly.

Just when Gu Qingfeng was about to focus on searching for the Guiyuan Dynasty's cultivation method, suddenly, a huge divine thought appeared out of nowhere.

"Anyone who dares to spy on the inheritance of our Guiyuan Dynasty is seeking death!"

The divine consciousness exploded. Such a terrifying aura was enough to crush ordinary Dao Palace realms.

But Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold at this, and he also fought back and suppressed it with his spiritual power.

"boom--"

The two forces collided, and the divine consciousness was easily defeated.

But at the moment when his divine consciousness was suppressed, Han An's head exploded, without any sound.

"Pity!"

Seeing Han An's death, Gu Qingfeng shook his head with some regret.

The Guiyuan Dynasty is a top force and a group of powerful people who have once stepped into the semi-saint realm. The inheritance of this force must not be underestimated, and it may even be stronger than the inheritance of the Shenyang Holy Land.

As the sixth prince of the Guiyuan Dynasty, Han An is very likely to be in control of the complete inheritance of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

Unfortunately.

Deep in the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, a powerful person has placed a restriction. If a cultivator attempts to explore and search for his inherited memory, this power will be passively triggered.

This restriction is either to kill the invader, or if it fails, then the carrier is erased to prevent the leakage of the dynasty's heritage.

Recalling that vast divine thought, which contained the domineering aura of an emperor, Gu Qingfeng suspected that it was the Emperor Han of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

A top-notch expert at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm.

but.

Although Emperor Han was very powerful, he only had a tiny bit of his spiritual power left on Han An, so he could naturally not be a match for Gu Qingfeng.

"The ninth level of Dao Palace Realm doesn't seem as strong as I imagined!"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes moved slightly, and then returned to normal.

Gu Yang looked at the dead Han An and couldn't help asking, "What was the result of searching father's soul?"

"Almost. Originally, I wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Guiyuan Dynasty from this boy, but unfortunately, there is a Dao Palace restriction in his sea of ​​consciousness. When someone intends to search his soul, this restriction will be triggered."

Gu Qingfeng said with some regret.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang's expression became a little solemn, and then he gave an order to the jailer who followed behind him.

"Clean up all these corpses!"

"Yes!"

The jailer immediately obeyed the order.

-

The ancient world.

Eastern Region.

In the Guiyuan Dynasty.

In the court, there was a middle-aged emperor sitting on the throne with a serious expression. His black eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his brows were full of the emperor's tyranny.

"Um……"

Emperor Han, who was originally listening to the report from his ministers, suddenly frowned, and then his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.

"Who dares to spy on the inheritance of my Guiyuan Dynasty!"

The words have not yet fallen.

An extremely domineering aura suddenly burst out, putting the entire court under pressure.

The expressions of all the ministers changed drastically, and under the pressure they instinctively knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling.

soon.

Emperor Han also realized his own gaffe, and the aura on his body suddenly subsided. The ministers then breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground tremblingly.

Subsequently.

An old minister bowed and asked, "May I ask why Your Majesty is so angry?"

"The inheritance restriction on the Sixth Prince has been triggered!"

Emperor Han uttered a word, and upon hearing this, the faces of the ministers changed again.

They naturally understood what Emperor Han meant by the inheritance restriction. When the inheritance restriction was triggered, it meant that someone was trying to search their soul.

now.

After Emperor Han was furious, he was also wondering who had done it.

After all, although Han An's strength is not strong, the other party has the protection of the royal family. Old Ke has one foot in the Taoist palace realm, and his strength should not be underestimated.

In addition, Han An also has a life-saving trump card given by the royal family.

Normally.

Even if you encounter danger, there should be no problem in getting out.

What's more, Han An has the Guiyuan Dynasty behind him, and other forces cannot possibly be unaware of this.

Immediately.

Emperor Han just thought of something.

Just at this time.

A guard came in hurriedly, bowed to Emperor Han and said, "Your Majesty, the soul tablets of Elder Ke and the Sixth Prince are broken!"

This statement came out.

The whole audience was shocked.

If the soul tablet is broken, it means that the person who left the soul tablet has died.

It would be fine if only a royal minister had died, but now that an entire prince has died, the consequences are certainly extraordinary.

However, Emperor Han was not as angry as expected. When he learned that someone was searching his soul in an attempt to seize the imperial inheritance, he had already anticipated Han An's fate.

obviously.

The other party has completely broken off relations with the Guiyuan Dynasty.

"Retreat!"

Emperor Han said this in a cold voice and directly announced his withdrawal from court.

The ministers did not dare to say anything and could only bow and retreat. Only one person stood still.

After everyone left, Emperor Han looked at the person in front of him and spoke.

"An'er followed my order to enter the Ancient Beast Mountain Range to look for the whereabouts of the Saint's inheritance. Now that he and Old Ke are dead, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Saint's inheritance."

"You must lead the Divine Emperor Army to the Ancient Beast Mountain Range immediately and bring back the Saint's inheritance. Also, find out who killed An'er."

"Anyone who dares to oppose our Guiyuan Dynasty will only end up dead!"

To the end.

There was a murderous look on Emperor Han's face.

He had many descendants, so the death of just the sixth prince would not make the Emperor of Han so angry.

What really made Emperor Han angry was that the other party was humiliating the Guiyuan Dynasty, and this was more likely to involve the inheritance of the saints.

both.

This is what the Korean emperor truly values.

The person in front of him is a general of the Guiyuan Dynasty named Ji Meng. His cultivation has already reached the seventh level of the Dao Palace Realm. He is considered one of the strongest men in the Guiyuan Dynasty. The 100,000 Divine Emperor Army under his command is even more extraordinary.

Now Emperor Han has asked Ji Meng to lead the Divine Emperor Army into the Ancient Beast Mountains, which shows how much importance he attaches to this matter.

"I accept the decree!"

Ji Meng clasped his fists and accepted the order.

……

Return to the palace.

Gu Qingfeng informed Gu Yang of all the information he obtained from soul searching.

"The Guiyuan Dynasty is quite powerful. It is one of the top dynasties in the Eastern Region. It was founded by a semi-saint 100,000 years ago. After that semi-saint died, the strength of the Guiyuan Dynasty did not drop much.

The current emperor of the Guiyuan Dynasty is a powerful man at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm."

"Just as the old man said, they both left soul tablets in the Guiyuan Dynasty. Now that the two have passed away, I'm afraid the Guiyuan Dynasty has also learned the news."

These words.

This made Gu Yang's expression become extremely serious.

The Dao Palace Realm is above the Shenbian Realm. The ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm is already half way into the Saint Realm.

Such strong men.

This naturally made Gu Yang feel tremendous pressure.

"What is the purpose of Guiyuan Dynasty coming here?"

Gu Yang asked the question that was in his mind.

Gu Qingfeng said calmly: "They came here only to obtain the inheritance of the saint."

Subsequently.

Gu Qingfeng then told Gu Yang about the Shenwu Sect and Murong Xiu. Until this moment, Gu Yang finally understood the purpose of the Guiyuan Dynasty and what the Shenwu Dynasty would face next.

If Gu Qingfeng and the four elders of Gujiazhuang are not counted, the Shenwu Dynasty can be said to not have a single strong man in the Divine Transformation Realm.

If we count the four elders at the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, they are still not enough in front of the Dao Palace Realm.

not to mention.

The Guiyuan Dynasty even has a powerful person at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm in charge.

Think of this.

Gu Yang couldn't help but look at Gu Qingfeng and asked, "What is your current level of cultivation, father? If the Guiyuan Dynasty attacks, how confident are you?"

"For the time being, you can regard me as a Dao Palace realm, but as long as the saint does not come out, there should be no problem."

Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and roughly revealed his strength.

To be honest.

Although he is only at the fourth level of Dao Palace Realm now, his foundation is definitely not comparable to that of the fourth level of Dao Palace Realm.

Judging from the restrictions in Han An's sea of ​​consciousness, it seems that the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm is not as strong as he imagined.

and so.

If there really was someone at the ninth level of the Dao Palace realm present, Gu Qingfeng would have the confidence to fight.

this sentence.

Gu Yang felt relieved and looked at Gu Qingfeng with admiration in his eyes.

It wouldn't be a big problem if a saint didn't show up.

Doesn't that mean that even if the powerful Taoist master of the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm from the Guiyuan Dynasty came in person, there wouldn't be many problems?
Take a deep breath.

Gu Yang said: "With my father's words, I feel relieved. Since they are here for the saint's inheritance, the two people from Guiyuan Dynasty are just the beginning.

Next, I will order people to search all states with all their strength and keep a close eye on the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. If there are more strong men from the Eastern Region coming, the court will be the first to know about it. "

"in addition--"

"I think Baishi Road is too small after all. How about I find a place within the capital to serve as the base of Gujiazhuang?"

Without waiting for Gu Qingfeng to answer, Gu Yang said with a wry smile.

"I'm not afraid of my father laughing at me. In the current situation, the court lacks a strong person to take charge. If my father could take charge of the capital, I believe a lot of trouble could be avoided.

Of course, if my father doesn’t want to, I won’t force him.”

That being said.

But Gu Yang's burning gaze made Gu Qingfeng realize that he had no way of refusing.

However, for him, it didn't matter whether Gujiazhuang was in Baishidao or in the capital.

"Okay, now that you've spoken, I'll do as you wish."

Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement under the other party's expectant gaze.

This statement came out.

Gu Yang was immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, then father will rest in the palace first. I will order people to move Gujiazhuang here. There are many places in the capital now. I wonder where father would like to use as the address of Gujiazhuang?"

"Just arrange it as you like."

Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and ignored these things.

Hear the words.

Gu Yang did not hesitate. He first ordered people to arrange for Gu Qingfeng to rest, and then he immediately sent people to find a place suitable for the residence of Gujiazhuang.

Followed by.

On the other side of Baishi Road, Gu Yang was also doing the same thing simultaneously.

Gujiazhuang has been rooted in Baishidao for decades and has accumulated a strong foundation. It is not so easy to relocate now.

But after Gu Yang mobilized the power of the imperial court, these things became much simpler.

Less than ten days.

The huge Gujia Village was entirely moved to the capital.

The former Guangyang Palace has now been completely demolished and rebuilt by Gu Yang as the new Gujiazhuang.

When this news came out, the whole capital was shocked.

On the day when Gujiazhuang was reopened, officials from all sides and the underworld came to visit. Gu Qingfeng did not respond and just asked Gu Peng to handle it. He himself was in seclusion, continuing to comprehend the ancient sword. (End of this chapter)
