The shortest route from Feihua City to Hancheng passes through Gucheng, which is the headquarters of the Gu Clan.

Chu Yun and Mo Xing came from Xiao Yue Manor, and the Gu family must know that as soon as they set foot in Gu City, they would be targeted by those with ulterior motives. After all, the old patriarch of the Gu family lived for several decades longer than Xiao Changfeng. Even though he never thought highly of Xiao Qi'an, he would not be completely unguarded against Xiao Qi'an.

Because of the urgency of time and the need to obtain the Xiaohan Flower as soon as possible, Chu Yun and Mo Xing had to face the challenge head-on, even knowing that there were dangers ahead. They did not stay in Feihua City for long and left at dawn the next day.

The two left the city and, apart from necessary exchanges, did not speak to each other again. Finally, they arrived in Gucheng at sunset.

Upon entering Gucheng, Chu Yun immediately sensed that many eyes were watching her and Mo Xing from the shadows.

She didn't take Mo Xing to Fukanglou, but instead randomly found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

During the meal, Chu Yun took the opportunity of serving food to Mo Xing to whisper to him, "Tonight won't be peaceful. We'll leave the city after this meal."

Mo Xing glanced at Chu Yun and said in a low voice, "Okay."

After finishing their meal, the two lingered for a short while before leaving the city.

The outskirts of Gu City were desolate. The two made their way through the night, but soon someone caught up with them.

As soon as this man entered the city, he set his sights on Chu Yun and Mo Xing. However, the city was too crowded for him to make a move. Chu Yun lured him out of the city to give him a chance to act.

Upon arriving at a flat, unobstructed spot, Chu Yun stopped. This place was perfect for a fight.

"Come out!"

The girl's cold voice stood out prominently in the open space.

The person hidden in the shadows, realizing their identity had been exposed, didn't mince words. "Little girl, you're quite quick-witted."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in blue robes descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Chu Yun.

The newcomer was around twenty years old, slender and tall, holding a long sword in his hand. His clothes fluttered without wind, and he wore a blue robe embroidered with several green bamboos.

His strength is unfathomable, and he is not on the same level as the group of men in black from yesterday.

Chu Yun drew her long whip, her face ashen. "Who are you?"

The man remained silent.

Mo Xing, who was usually quiet, spoke up, "Yunzhu Sword Immortal - Gu Yunzhu."

The man smiled slightly, "Little Mo Xing, you've grown up so much in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"I never expected that our reunion would turn out like this," Mo Xing said again, a rare occurrence for him.

"I don't want to either, but I can't disobey my father's orders," Gu Yunzhu sighed.

Gu Yunzhu of the Gu family was the youngest son of the old master Gu. He was cherished like the apple of his eye from a young age, and he lived up to expectations. He was exceptionally talented from childhood and was a rare martial arts prodigy. At the age of eleven, he had mastered the Gu family's sword technique. It can be said that if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Mo Xing, he would have been the strongest among the younger generation.

Unfortunately, when the two fought back then, Mo Xing, who was only fourteen years old, defeated Gu Yunzhu, who was already famous.

At that time, Gu Yunzhu was just over twenty years old. She lost to a child who was six years younger than her, which was a huge blow to her. She disappeared from the public eye after that.

"Although I was defeated by you in that battle, my fighting spirit has not waned. I have been practicing my swordsmanship diligently for the past three years, and my strength has greatly improved. You and I should have competed fairly and squarely in the arena." Gu Yunzhu sighed, "Unfortunately, you insisted on getting involved with the people from Xiao Yue Manor. How about this, I will not touch you today, and you should not interfere. After I defeat this young lady and get the answers I want to know, we can find a place to catch up, how about that?"

After Gu Yunzhu emerged from seclusion, he heard that his family was going to hunt down Mo Xing and a woman, so he volunteered to take on the task. Before he left, Old Master Gu repeatedly told him to keep a low profile and be careful, but he didn't take it seriously. Now he brazenly appeared in front of Chu Yun and Mo Xing, revealing his identity, clearly showing that he didn't take them seriously.

His actions were arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant. He was a young genius and considered himself extraordinary. Although he was defeated by Mo Xing, it was this defeat that made him more able to calm down and study martial arts.

For three years, he practiced swordsmanship day and night without rest, and his strength was so great that he could be called the number one in the Gu family. He was also the biggest reliance of Xiao Changfeng's faction in winning the martial arts tournament.

Mo Xing ignored Gu Yunzhu's words, simply put his hands together, stood still, and remained motionless.

It seemed to be an acceptance of Gu Yunzhu's suggestion.

Chu Yun almost laughed in anger. This Gu Yunzhu really treated her like she didn't exist. She cracked the whip in her hand, reminding Gu Yunzhu not to be too arrogant.

“Young lady, I have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you tell me what your mission is and what your purpose is, I will let you go. But you must promise me that you will never set foot in Xiaoyue City again in this lifetime.” Gu Yunzhu finally acknowledged Chu Yun.

"I have nothing to say to you," Chu Yun said coldly.

"If you insist on this, then there's nothing I can do. I can only spare your life and prevent you from ever working for Xiaoyue Manor again." Although Gu Yunzhu was smiling, his eyes were filled with icy coldness. He flashed and rushed straight towards Chu Yun, his speed as fast as a ghost.

This man's sword intent was sharp and unstoppable; the sword in his hand seemed to have the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Chu Yun dodged backward, secretly shocked: As expected of Gu Men's trump card, its strength is indeed formidable.

She raised her long whip and lashed it at Gu Yunzhu's waist and abdomen. This whip was infused with internal force, and like Gu Yunzhu's sword, it had the power of thunder.

Gu Yunzhu hadn't expected Chu Yun to be so difficult to deal with. Sensing the threat, she pushed off with her feet and did a somersault to dodge the attack.

Chu Yun wielded her whip with incredible speed, almost leaving a blur. The sound of the whip cracked through the air, and Gu Yunzhu was unable to get close enough to approach.

His face darkened, and he took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on Chu Yun.

Chu Yun stopped her attack and looked at Gu Yunzhu as well.

"Your skills are impressive, young lady. I underestimated you. You are worthy of my drawing of my sword!" Gu Yunzhu suddenly spoke, drawing his long sword. The sword clashed, and the sword intent was even stronger than before.

If he was holding back just now, he will now give it his all.

Chu Yun naturally noticed his change and became even more cautious, gripping the whip tighter and tighter.

Gu Yunzhu picked up his sword, its blade aimed at Chu Yun. A gentle breeze began to rise around him, and the sword in his hand emitted a faint light, shining brightly in the darkness.

Legend has it that the highest level of the Gu family swordsmanship is when the moon shines brightly in the sky. When the sword is drawn, the blade glows with light, like moonlight. At that moment, the sword and the man become one, and the power is enough to flatten mountains.

It seems that Gu Yunzhu's move was as clear as the moon shining over a thousand miles.

Chu Yun naturally couldn't just stand by and watch him gather his strength. With a light touch of her toes, she leaped forward and delivered a fierce whip strike to Gu Yunzhu.

Strangely, just as the whip was about to strike Gu Yunzhu, it was deflected by a strange force, the residual force causing Chu Yun's wrist to go numb.
