NOVEL NEXT Chapter 374 Gu Haiyin: Try touching me and see what happens?_1
"What do you think you are doing?"
"To strike at me in the Luo Family's land within Qingshi City?"
"With your mere Blood Cultivation Realm skills?"
"Elder Gu, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
Within the room, Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, sat quietly in the seat of honor.
He watched silently.
Step by step, Gu Haiyin, the Third Elder from the inner sect of the Qingshan Sect, approached him.
In those slightly narrowed eyes of his,
the coldness had now become completely undisguised.
If it were anywhere else, Luo Ping, the Patriarch of the Luo Family, might have some apprehension for the Qingshan Sect's Third Elder before him.
But where was this place?
This was the Inner City of Qingshi City, where the Luo Family Ancestral Land was situated.
This was the den of his Luo Family.
Thinking of making a move against him right here in the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
was this Third Elder of the Qingshan Sect perhaps a little too presumptuous?
Or was it that he had some trump cards that gave him the confidence to act in such a way?
"Halt there..."
As the one claiming to be the Qingshan Sect's Third Elder, Gu Haiyin, drew increasingly closer,
an elder wearing black clothes, exuding the aura of Blood Cultivation Perfection, appeared suddenly before Gu.
Looking at him, the elder had white hair, and his body seemed somewhat bent.
His face was filled with the traces of time and hardship.
Yet, even so, the appearance of this elder made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief.
It was no other reason but...
This suddenly appearing elder was one of the Three Great Commanders of the Shadow Guard under the Ancestor of the Luo Family within Qingshi City's Luo Family land, Zhen.
Likewise, this elder known by the code name Zhen,
was undoubtedly formidable in combat.
Let alone the Qingshan Sect's Third Elder Gu Haiyin, who was at the Intermediate Stage of Blood Cultivation,
even cultivators who had reached the perfection of Blood Cultivation, or even Blood Cultivation Perfection,
would only become souls under his blade in front of one of the Shadow Guard's Three Great Commanders, Zhen.
Even struggling was not a privilege they could afford.
"Blood Cultivation Perfection?"
"Ancestor of the Luo Family in Qingshi City?"
In the room, before Luo Ping,
Gu Haiyin, who claimed to be the Qingshan Sect's Third Elder, silently observed the white-haired elder exuding the aura of Blood Cultivation Perfection.
His eyes flickered with contemplative speculation.
However, he soon shook his head to himself.
If this Luo Family from Qingshi City could contend with the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty,
it proved that within this Luo Family Clan in Qingshi City,
there must exist cultivators from the final realm among the Five Realms of Mortality,
namely, the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
Now, the one appearing before Gu Haiyin was merely a cultivator at the Perfection of Blood Cultivation,
and although this Blood Cultivation Perfection seemed somewhat different from the ordinary,
Blood Cultivation was still Blood Cultivation.
No matter how strong, it was futile.
"Qingshi City Luo Family, you've made a mistake, and you will deeply regret your decision in the future..."
After muttering to himself,
Gu Haiyin then waved his hand.
Suddenly, he summoned from his Dantian, the place where his Qi-Blood Force was stored, a golden miniature sword that faintly shimmered with dazzling golden light.
This sword was a Semi-Immortal Instrument, above a Supreme Spiritual Instrument but below a lower-tier Immortal Instrument.
Within this golden miniature sword rested the full power of a blow from the Mortal Transcendence Realm at its peak.
It was because of this trump card that Gu had the confidence he did.
Otherwise, without any trump card, he would have come to the Luo Family land in Qingshi City
and made such a bold statement.
Wasn't that seeking his own death?
Cultivators, especially those who had reached his level of Blood Cultivation, were naturally not fools.
"Begin..."
As soon as Gu Haiyin's command was given,
the golden miniature sword he summoned began to levitate in mid-air.
In the room, a terrifying pressure and deterrent force began to emanate from all directions,
causing Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, to clench his teeth and become somewhat immobilized.
Even Zhen, one of the Shadow Guard's Three Great Commanders, whose cultivation had already reached the Perfection of Blood Cultivation,
and who had even begun to glimpse the marvels of Mortal Transcendence,
struggled to bear that overwhelming force.
He exerted all his Qi-Blood Force to contend against that domineering power.
"The world of cultivation is just so."
"The law of the jungle prevails, the fittest survive."
"Look well at your current pathetic state..."
With a scornful smile,
Gu Haiyin turned and left, taking the levitating sword above his head with him.
He placed his hands behind his back,
appearing utterly relaxed as he walked towards the exit of the room.
Yes, Gu Haiyin had a trump card.
The golden miniature sword he had just summoned indeed harbored the full force of a blow from the peak of Mortal Transcendence.
Under the right conditions, he could even effortlessly slaughter the Luo Family's Mortal Transcendence Ancestor within the Luo Family land.
However, if he truly made such a choice,
his only trump card, the miniature sword that ranked as a Semi-Immortal Instrument, would also lose all its power and luster.
