C4344 The Family Was in Chaos.
This caused his heart to ache. The Gu Clan had worked hard for nearly ten thousand years to build such a great foundation, yet it was now destroyed in his hands. It was truly unbearable.
Gu Changsheng felt extremely guilty and self-blame.
He knew that the reason why the Sky River City had fallen to this state was because of the Black Heaven Divine Sect's rampage and wanton slaughter, resulting in a terrifying destruction. It had almost forced him to the brink of death, and all of this was the sin of the Black Heaven Divine Sect.
However, he also knew that half of this was his own fault. If the Sky River City could have been as strong as a golden fortress, and if they had waited for reinforcements, they would not have suffered such heavy casualties and destruction.
In the end, he had taken a wrong step. He had trusted Gu Chengquan and handed over the clan's command medallion. He had emptied the clan's treasury and secretly fled. It was truly detestable.
Gu Chengquan, you deserve to die a thousand times. Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough to quench my anger.
Gu Changsheng's eyes were bloodshot and filled with unwillingness. The hatred he felt for Gu Chengquan was monstrous, and it was bone-deep.
"The Sky River City was destroyed in my hands. I am guilty." Gu Changsheng sighed towards the sky.
When Chen Xiao saw this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Although the Sky River City has been destroyed, the Gu Clan is still here. Are you giving up just like that?"
"Sigh, Chen Xiao, you can see that the Sky River City has been destroyed, and I am also seriously injured. The Sky River City can't be protected anymore, and the foundation of ten thousand years has been destroyed. How can I not feel heartache?"
Gu Changsheng sighed, his heart ashen. He felt extremely hopeless and uncomfortable.
To him, this was a completely undeserved calamity. He was originally in a good state, but suddenly, a terrifying dark storm was stirred up in the Kui Nan State, causing others to feel terrified.
In an instant, it destroyed his Sky River City and almost killed him. If Chen Xiao had not intervened, he would have already died.
After suffering so many blows, it caused his heart to turn cold and his heart to break. He was extremely dejected.
Chen Xiao laughed coldly and said, "When the land is lost, the people are lost. When the people are lost, the land is lost. When the land is lost, the people are still lost. Don't you understand this principle? It's already fortunate that you are still alive."
Gu Changsheng's expression was ugly, as if he was a piece of white paper, incomparably stiff.
He naturally knew that Chen Xiao's words were correct, but letting him accept such a reality was a bit too cruel.
"Chen Xiao, do you have any suggestions?" Gu Changsheng looked at Chen Xiao and asked.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "Now that things have come to this, do you still have any other choice?"
"That's right, there's no other choice. Alright, Sky River City can be destroyed, but the Gu Clan cannot perish. I'm not dead yet."
At this moment, Gu Changsheng's eyes erupted with a strong desire to live, his eyes shining brightly.
...
A thousand miles away from Sky River City, on a mountain peak.
Gu Chengquan and the three elders beside him looked in the direction of Sky River City with a sigh on their faces.
"At the end of the day, we have come to this step. Sigh, I hope I didn't make the wrong choice."
Gu Chengquan had a solemn expression as he muttered to himself.
Betraying the family wasn’t his original intention. He only wanted to obtain benefits and enjoy the pleasures of life, and live a happy life. He didn’t have to fight to the death, and it was sufficient.
The originally smooth-sailing days had suddenly been overturned by the Blackheaven Divine Sect, and they even attacked the Sky River City, causing him to have no worries of wealth and happiness, and it instantly came to an end.
“Damn the Blackheaven Divine Sect! They really deserve to die!”
Gu Chengquan cursed indignantly.
The three Gu Clan Tribulation Transcenders by his side looked at each other with sorrowful expressions when they saw this, and they asked, “Big Brother Chengquan, what should we do now? The Sky River City is gone, and there’s no place for us to stay. Sigh.”
“The Sky River City was fine and dandy, yet it was gone just like that. The Blackheaven Divine Sect actually dared to resist, and they gathered a large number of low-ranked cultivators to cause a huge ruckus. Now, everything is over.”
“Alas, the Sky River City can’t be returned. What should we do next? Big Brother Chengquan, please make a decision.”
The three Gu Clan Tribulation Transcendors heaved a long sigh and sighed.
However, as soon as they thought about the fact that half of the Gu Clan’s treasury was within their storage rings, their hearts burned with fervor, and they weren’t as sad as before.
Gu Chengquan sneered and said, “Stop pretending. You’re so fake and ugly. I know what you’re thinking. Are you thinking of not dying and earning a fortune so that you can live a carefree life?”
“Hehe, Big Brother Chengquan understands me best.”
“Yeah, Big Brother Chengquan, weren’t we just here for today? Unfortunately, without the Gu Clan, we won’t be able to live so comfortably in the future. Fortunately, we have numerous treasures on us, and we’ll be able to live comfortably for another ten lifetimes, and we won’t be able to use them all.”
“After this battle, the Sky River City will be destroyed, and it would be best if Gu Changsheng were to die. In this way, no one will pursue our mistakes.”
The three Gu Clan Tribulation Transcenders sang in unison, and they echoed.
Hearing up to this point, Gu Chengquan’s face sank, and he had a slightly solemn expression as he looked in the direction of the Sky River City.
The distance between them and the Sky River City was over a thousand miles, and they couldn’t see the situation in the city clearly. However, they could imagine the horrifying scene that was like purgatory.
Fortunately, Gu Chengquan and the others had fled ahead of time. Even though they had betrayed their clans, at least their lives had been preserved.
If Gu Changsheng died in this fierce battle, it would be a good thing for them. If he didn’t die, then it would be difficult for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
When he thought up to here, Gu Chengquan’s heart was filled with malice. It would be best if Gu Changsheng died in battle, and he would have nothing to worry about in the future.
However, this thought could only be thought about, and he couldn’t say it out loud.
“Shut up, that’s the Patriarch. He has treated us well, and you dare curse him?” Gu Chengquan scolded.
The Gu Clan Tribulation Transcender that was scolded was stunned, and his neck shrunk. “I said something wrong, I shouldn’t have said that. I should.”
“Hmph! Alright, since the moment we betrayed our clans and fled without a fight, we can’t go back. We’ve severed all ties with the Gu Clan, and there’s nothing left to do with them. Fortunately, we have many treasures on us, so we won’t have to worry about anything in the future. However, before that, we have to leave this place of peril. The further we go, the better, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.”
Gu Chengquan spoke in a low voice, and he’d already made up his mind.
There was no turning back once a bow was drawn. At this point in time, he was already extremely fortunate to be able to preserve his own life.
“Yes, yes.”
“Big Brother Chengquan is right. We’ll listen to you.”
“Right, we’ll stick together in the future. We’re all Tribulation Transcenders, so we’ll be able to live a carefree life wherever we go.”
Instantly, the three Tribulation Transcenders of the Gu Clan echoed him, and they surrounded Gu Chengquan like a group of stars.
He didn’t hesitate at all, and he glanced at the direction of the Sky River City in the end before he shouted, “Let’s go.”
“Let’s go.”
However, right when the group of four turned around and intended to leave, a wave of gloomy wind assaulted them from behind. It was silent and soundless, and before the sound of the wind arrived, the blade aura had already descended and slashed towards the four of them.
“Who’s there?”
The group of four turned around abruptly, and they struck out with their palms. The enormous palm print crushed the blade aura that assaulted them, and it shattered with a single touch.
