Biluo Sword Valley, must be destroyed.
These words made Gu Zhiqing's lips curl, a sneer and scorn completely unveiled.
Being a person from Biluo Sword Valley, she had more authority to speak on this matter than anyone.
The strength of Biluo Sword Valley and its profound foundation are beyond outsiders' imagination.
Like Gu Li and Gu Qingshan, although they bear the title of Elder, they rank last. Above them, there are ten other Elders, each more formidable than the last.
Among them, the Great Elder is the strongest!
Not to mention these Elders, there is also the current Valley Master and the old Valley Master holding the fort.
Frankly speaking, even if Red Lotus Valley and Qingyue Valley joined forces, it might not be enough to severely damage Biluo Sword Valley.
And Chen Yang, merely one person.
What does he rely on to destroy Biluo Sword Valley, just sheer boldness and hot-bloodedness?
Laughable.
"Although, personally, I do wish you could destroy Biluo Sword Valley." Gu Zhiqing said calmly, "But I must say, you are too arrogant."
"While overestimating yourself, please do not underestimate any force within Yuning Mountain."
Chen Yang stared at her, said nothing else, just smiled.
"Take care and recover well, see you when we have the chance."
Leaving these words, Chen Yang called out to Yang Hu, "Let's go, to the Northern Mountain."
"Going there is courting death," Gu Zhiqing said. "A part of Biluo Sword Valley's main force is there."
"That's why I'm planning to start with them."
Chen Yang didn't look back, speaking as he walked out of the room.
"Ha!!"
Gu Zhiqing laughed out of extreme anger. In her life, she hadn't met such an arrogant person, but someone as arrogant as Chen Yang, it was indeed the first time.
To think of challenging the entire Biluo Sword Valley on one's own strength?
It might sound harsh, but this is no different than seeking one's own doom.
"Do you take this place as the secular world? Ignorant and ridiculous!"
For some reason, Gu Zhiqing felt an unusual anger, which should not have been.
But indeed, she felt a peculiar anger at Chen Yang's recklessness and blind confidence.
"Hmph."
Gu Zhiqing didn't realize this herself, nor did she know why she had such thoughts. After a cold snort, she also left the room.
Downstairs.
Chen Yang was just about to get in the car when he saw Gu Zhiqing coming over as well. His eyebrows raised, but he said nothing.
"Give me a ride," Gu Zhiqing said.
"What, is Miss Zhiqing coming too?" Yang Hu laughed.
Gu Zhiqing's face showed a hint of unease as she repeated, "Give me a ride."
"Heh..." Yang Hu chuckled, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang said, "Get in the car."
Gu Zhiqing didn't hesitate and sat in the back seat.
Chen Yang, who had originally intended to sit in the back, had to switch to the front passenger seat.
On the way.
The air in the car was suffocating, no one spoke.
Yang Hu shook his head helplessly, muttering softly, "What a pair of quarrelsome yet loving people."
Quarrelsome yet loving, lingering like a specter.
"You..." Gu Zhiqing glared, fixing her cold gaze on Yang Hu through the rearview mirror.
"Alright, I won't say anything," Yang Hu said.
He had already heard from Shen Shaotian that this entanglement between Gu Zhiqing and Chen Yang was indeed like a pair of enemies, yet they admired each other privately.
Who knows, a spark might really fly between them.
Chen Yang closed his eyes to rest, not saying a word.
As night was approaching, the car finally reached the foot of the Northern Mountain.
Seeing the dusk approach and the rain intensify, Yang Hu suggested staying in the car for a while. If the rain didn't stop, they'd have to spend the night in the car.
However, this suggestion was immediately opposed by Gu Zhiqing.
How could she be willing to spend the night in a car with two not-so-familiar men?
"If we head south for a bit, there's a Lin Family we can go to." Facing Yang Hu's puzzled gaze, Gu Zhiqing explained.
Then, Yang Hu looked at Chen Yang.
"Let's go," Chen Yang waved his hand.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Lin Family that Gu Zhiqing mentioned.
An ancient courtyard, on this rainy night, lay entrenched at the foot of the Northern Mountain, steadfast and unmoving.
This Lin Family is a semi-hidden clan, settled in the quiet of the mountains.
However, with a corner of a lost map appearing on the Northern Mountain, the tranquility of the Lin Family was completely shattered.
Like today, as some came seeking shelter from the rain, wave after wave arrived asking for lodging.
Some courteous people would leave regretfully when declined by the Lin Family, but the problem was, not everyone was courteous.
"How dare you, a mere Lin Family, refuse me, the Young Master, a place to stay?"
At the entrance of the Lin Family, a young man in his thirties, dressed in white robes, stood under a large umbrella, hands clasped behind his back, looking rather like a big shot.
He pointed at the group of Lin Family members in front of him and then leaned towards the elder holding the umbrella beside him, speaking with a mocking smile, "Don't they know that me choosing to stay at the Lin Family is a blessing accumulated by their ancestors?"
"It seems they are quite foolish, unable to see the situation clearly." The elder laughed, then suggested, "Shall we kill a few first?"
"Absolutely."
The young man nodded in agreement, then pointed at a young girl trembling behind a middle-aged man, baring his teeth with a grin, "She has a bit of beauty, keep her for a night."
"Understood, Young Master." The elder laughed sinisterly, exuding a ghastly aura.
Bam!
The middle-aged man, Lin Guang, the head of the Lin Family, immediately knelt in the muddy ground, pleading desperately, "I'm sorry, I was rash, but I've already agreed to let you stay, please spare us."
"Please..."
"Heh heh..."
The young man's name, Hua Yunfei, casually cracked his knuckles, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Now you beg? Alas, it's too late!!"
"I've never been refused before, and you're the first!"
Hua Yunfei said slowly, "Do you think it's possible for me to spare you now?"
"But..."
Hua Yunfei's eyes shifted to the young girl behind Lin Guang, "You have a good daughter. If she serves me well tonight, maybe I'll let you live."
"Now, do you want to tell your daughter something? Like how she should behave later?"
"No, no!!"
The young girl's face turned pale with fear, clutching Lin Guang's clothes tightly, shaking her head frantically.
"Please, spare us." Lin Guang, face ashen, steeled himself to speak.
"Refuse life when given a chance?" Hua Yunfei sneered, waving his hand, "Go, kill a few first."
"Alright."
However, just as the elder took a step forward, a beam of starlight suddenly appeared in the sky.
The elder instinctively turned his head and saw a sword descend from the night sky, its Sword Qi like frost.
"Retreat, retreat!"
The elder shouted in panic, and as soon as he spoke, the frosty Sword Qi, like a sudden thunderbolt in the extreme night, shook the entire ground.
Boom!!
The entourage behind Hua Yunfei was instantly turned upside down, screams echoing incessantly.
Hua Yunfei: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"..."
