Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

Gu Qianhan focused his energy in his dantian and shouted loudly into it.

The sound was so loud that it shook the entire Tianlian Sect building.

The first to be affected were the three trembling Tianlian Sect disciples standing to the side.

Under Gu Qianhan's enormous noise, which resembled a lion's roar, they were all shaken so badly that they bled from all seven orifices and collapsed to the ground.

Since Gu Qinghan and Gu Qingying merged into one, Shuangxue Hanlan also became Shuangxue Hanlan. Their powers have been enhanced, so they are naturally unafraid of this kind of sonic attack.

Of course, Gu Qingying improved the most, after all, Gu Qinghan's strength was already there.

As for Qinglian, Gu Qianhan didn't remove the buff from the horse talisman within her at all.

The horse talisman could protect Gu Qianhan when she was fighting with the Heavenly Rakshasa, so it could also make her ignore this simple sonic attack.

Moreover, Gu Qianhan didn't use her full strength; otherwise, that shout alone could have killed the old woman and her "shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

A short while later, an extremely weak voice came from inside.

"It is truly remarkable that you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, but why did you have to take my disciple's life?"

Two disciples of the Heavenly Lotus Sect were seen supporting an elderly woman who was on the verge of death as she slowly appeared before them.

This person was the old woman Gu Qianhan had mentioned, the head of the Tianlian Sect.

However, Gu Qianhan noticed a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of the old woman's mouth and couldn't help but sneer.

I suppose my scream just now scared the old man so much that he vomited blood.

It seems this old fellow is truly at the end of his rope.

"Hmph, those three brought this upon themselves. They can't blame anyone else for their poor skills."

"If they weren't killed by me today, they would probably die at the hands of others someday. The sooner they die, the sooner they'll be free."

Gu Qianhan teased without any restraint, not caring whether the little ants lived or died.

At this moment, he pulled Qinglian in front of him with a playful expression, then bent down and hugged her from behind.

"Old Deng, look who this is?"

Hearing Gu Qianhan calling him "Old Deng" repeatedly, one of the female disciples who was supporting her could no longer hold back.

"Don't be rude!"

She was about to draw her sword and charge forward, but as soon as she drew her sword, a burst of energy blasted her into dust.

Upon seeing this scene, the already terminally ill Tianlian Sect leader coughed up another mouthful of blood, while another female disciple supporting her trembled with fear.

"What's wrong? Can't you Heavenly Lotus Sect understand me?"

"No wonder your Heavenly Lotus Sect's status in the Xuanwu Kingdom has plummeted. I think it's all your own doing."

The old leader of the Tianlian Sect wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked weakly at Gu Qianhan.

"Young man, do you know the saying that too much rigidity leads to breakage?"

In response, Gu Qianhan, who was holding Qinglian, simply curled her lip in disdain.

"Hehe, no need for you to worry about it."

"Besides, I won't die, and more importantly, you're about to die."

"Before you die, open your eyes and see who she is!"

Hearing Gu Qianhan emphasize this repeatedly, the old leader of the Tianlian Sect opened his eyes wide with difficulty.

But when she saw Qinglian being held in Gu Qianhan's arms, she froze on the spot.

"You...you are Qinglian?!"

"Qinglian, you...you're still alive?!"

Upon hearing this, the Tianlian Sect disciples standing nearby were taken aback.

According to their former sect leader, the Heavenly Lotus Sect had three disciples she greatly valued.

Lianzang, Qinglian, and Jiang Huilian.

Unfortunately, the first two died in their early twenties, and Jiang Huilian was expelled from the sect because of her relationship problems.

Everyone, including the old sect leader who was being supported and the three Tianlian Sect disciples who were paralyzed with fear, looked at the blushing girl in Gu Qianhan's arms with shock.

This girl, is she the exceptionally talented Senior Sister Qinglian that the sect leader mentioned?!

According to what the sect leader usually says, that was more than twenty years ago.

Why does she look so young, even younger than these new disciples?!

How does she maintain her youthful appearance?

Qinglian responded timidly to the old sect leader.

"Master, it is I, Qinglian."

These words caused the old leader of the Tianlian Sect, who was on the verge of death, to have his eyes light up as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy.

"It really is you, Qinglian, it really is you!"

"It's truly a blessing that Heaven hasn't forsaken our Heavenly Lotus Sect! This is wonderful!"

Just then, Gu Qianhan spoke softly.

"Old Deng, aren't you getting ahead of yourself?"

Upon hearing this, all the Tianlian Sect disciples looked at Gu Qianhan warily.

Feeling their wary gazes, Gu Qianhan couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Forehead……"

"It seems I didn't express myself quite accurately just now. What I mean is, I have some good news to tell you."

"Do you still remember Chi Ya, who wreaked havoc on our sect four years ago?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth in anger.

Why don't they remember that damned Red Fang?

If it weren't for him, the imprisoned Blood Demon wouldn't have been released, the sect wouldn't have become so desolate due to the death of most of its disciples, their senior sister Jiang Huilian wouldn't have left, and their master wouldn't have been driven to the brink of death!

This person is practically their Heavenly Lotus Sect's mortal enemy.

The old sect leader then looked at Gu Qianhan, who had a mocking expression on her face.

"I have also heard that he was murdered."

Gu Qianhan nodded after hearing this.

"That's right, I killed him."

"This idiot tried to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill him. Oh, he died a horrible death. I chopped off his head, crushed all his bones, and ripped out his heart and crushed it."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Heavenly Lotus Sect couldn't help but gasp.

While Akagi certainly deserved to die, wasn't this guy far too brutal? Did he take pleasure in torture and killing?

At this moment, the old sect leader squinted at Gu Qianhan.

"so what?"

Gu Qianhan continued to look at her with a smile.

"So, you see, I brought Qinglian back and killed Chiya. Shouldn't your Tianlian Sect also show some appreciation?"

"For example, I will pass on your position as sect leader to Qinglian, and the entire Tianlian Sect will become my subordinates and obey my orders."

Upon hearing this, the old sect leader clenched his fists.

"I can pass the position of sect leader to Qinglian, but Tianlian Sect is Tianlian Sect, and Tianlian Sect will not become anyone's vassal."

Hearing this, Gu Qianhan couldn't help but sigh.

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

"Actually, the reason I'm talking nonsense to you is entirely out of respect for Qinglian. After all, she is your disciple, and I want you to die with a little dignity, so that it can be an explanation to Qinglian."

"Since you don't know what's good for you and can't tell the situation from the top, then I don't need to be polite to you anymore, old man."

"Little Black, eat all those Heavenly Lotus Sect disciples one by one!!!"
