999 Kinds of God-level Identities, Various Ways to Beat the Protagonist

19: His hair turned white overnight, and Gu Yan turned evil!Gu Yan opened a scroll that glowed faintly.

It contained the intelligence Ji Wenfeng had sent him, and after a brief scan, Gu Yan found that the content wasn’t actually extensive.

This was normal.

After all, although Ji Wenfeng was the Ji family’s Young Master, he was secretly assisting, and he himself was only in the Dragon Transformation Realm, so the information he could gather was quite limited.

But for Gu Yan, who was completely in the dark at the moment, he was already very satisfied.

”Younger Brother Ji also has a Heart-Nature.”

Gu Yan felt a warmth in his heart.

Adding flowers to embroidery is far less valuable than sending charcoal in the snow.

Although the value of this scroll of intelligence was not high, he was deeply grateful to Ji Wenfeng, regarding him as a good brother for life.

He quickly scanned the intelligence with his eyes, most of which was irrelevant, just some important events that had occurred in the Xuan Realm recently.

The most crucial part was the intelligence on the Saint from Chongxuan Pavilion.

Gu Yan wanted to find clues from it, but regrettably, he found that most of the descriptions were various praises, flattery, and admiration, which made him feel disgusted and very displeased.

”Wait, this Saint also has the surname Chu?!”

Gu Yan’s pupils contracted as he captured the key information!

In an inconspicuous record, the title ”Saint Chu” was used.

Chu, Gu Yan immediately associated it with Chu Feng…

”It absolutely can’t be him! How could a mere Lower Realm lowly person be a high and mighty Saint?”

When he saw this news, Gu Yan’s heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

Especially when he thought of the initial news of the Saint’s emergence, which was rumored to be from the Xiao Zhu Realm.

Gu Yan recalled some ancient texts he had read, which recorded that some Saints, in order to Breakthrough to the Great Saint Realm, would evolve Saint Incarnations and travel the Mortal World.

If Chu Feng, who had formed an enmity with him, was a Saint Incarnation, then the other party’s appearance and why he was so targeted would make sense.

”I hope I’m just overthinking; the probability is too small.”

”Wu City is almost here. I should return to the Gu Family first and then make plans.”

Gu Yan’s entire body, at this moment, only his mouth was stiff.

He was unwilling to face reality and forcibly diverted his attention, looking towards the end of the horizon, where he could vaguely see some city outlines.

With his current strength in the Dragon Transformation Realm, even without using Void Realm power, he could move as if on flat ground in the Xiao Zhu Realm, advancing rapidly.

Watching the surrounding scenery quickly pass by, familiar plants and trees gradually appeared in the distance.

Gu Yan felt a little melancholic.

Who would have thought that his return to the Xiao Zhu Realm, after setting off for the Xuan Realm full of youthful vigor, would be in such a manner?

Thankfully!

”I still have family and friends.”

”They won’t betray me like Chongxuan Pavilion.”

He suppressed the three parts of apprehension and seven parts of excitement in his heart and quickened his pace.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight streamed down on Wu City, presenting a bustling scene.

Gu Yan expected that people from the Xuan Realm would certainly come to the Xiao Zhu Realm to pursue and kill him, especially in his hometown, Wu City.

He used Void Realm power to conceal himself in the Void Realm for a while before stepping into the Wu City gate.

Walking through this small city where he had many memories, Gu Yan’s eyes swept across the street corners and found that the city had changed a lot!

The shops along the road had all changed their appearance, and some familiar people from before were no longer seen.

”Huh? Why haven’t I seen the Gu Family’s business establishments?”

Gu Yan suddenly noticed something amiss, and his heart trembled.

Wu City was the Gu Family’s base, and after his rise, the Gu Family Patriarch even became the City Lord of Wu City!

Originally, the Gu Family had many business establishments in Wu City. Logically speaking, with the expansion of their scale, there should be even more now.

Why, after walking several hundred meters, had he not yet seen a single business establishment bearing the Gu Family’s name?

Gu Yan quickened his steps towards the City Lord’s Mansion, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Damn it, could Chongxuan Pavilion have already acted?

As he passed a tavern, he happened to hear the storyteller’s voice from inside: ”The world is full of impermanence and changes, dear sirs, who among you could have imagined that the great Gu Family in Wu City would be annihilated overnight?”

”I heard a rumor that the Gu Family was annihilated because that Genius of the Gu Family, Gu Yan, in the Upper Realm, molested a supreme goddess, which incurred the monstrous retaliation of the power behind her, even implicating the Gu Family far away in the Lower Realm.”

”So, young people, lust is a knife over one’s head; this is a timeless warning that you must always remember!”

”...”

The Gu Family, annihilated?

Gu Yan, who was passing by, stopped in his tracks, his face instantly turning pale. After that, the storyteller’s voice became completely inaudible to him.

How could this be!

Absolutely impossible! These fools must be talking nonsense!

Coming back to his senses, Gu Yan had no time to question the storyteller for slandering him with false rumors. He was, after all, of a youthful Heart-Nature, and at this moment, grief welled up from within him. He directly exposed his powerful cultivation, taking a single step to enter the City Lord’s Mansion in Wu City.

However, he saw that the City Lord’s Mansion, which should have been luxurious, had long since collapsed and shattered, becoming a desolate ruin!

What struck Gu Yan like a bolt from the blue even more was that, for unknown reasons, the entire City Lord’s Mansion was filled with graves.

One after another, they formed a continuous stretch, like a haunted house.

Gu Yan stumbled into the City Lord’s Mansion. He found that in front of each grave, there were stone tablets engraved with names.

”Patriarch Gu, Eldest Brother, Little Ying Sister...”

Gu Yan’s face was desolate, and images of people flashed through his mind, his body trembling uncontrollably.

His breathing was heavy, but he did not get angry, nor did he make any aggressive moves.

He just stood there quietly, gazing at those who had once been so good to him, now transformed into graves.

The sun gradually set, and the moon hung high in the night sky.

Time passed, the sky brightened, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Gu Yan, who had been standing there, at some unknown point, his black hair had completely turned white.

White hair overnight!

His eyes were filled with coldness and malevolence.

He turned, his gaze cold as he looked outside the City Lord’s Mansion, which had been quietly surrounded by people at some unknown time.

There were strong individuals from the Xiao Zhu Realm, and also pursuers from the Upper Realm.

He softly said to the graves in front of him, ”Family, I will not let you die in vain.”

”From today onwards, I will have no more bottom line. Chongxuan Pavilion and that guy... you will regret it.”

”There’s a problem with Chongxuan Pavilion’s Demon Subduing Magic Array. Do you really think I don’t know?”

”And Qingyun Sword Sect, whether you are Chu Feng or not, I will start with Qingyun Sword Sect. Prepare to face my wrath.”

Gu Yan’s eyes boiled with killing intent. This night, he not only spent it in sorrow and despair but also thought about how to seek revenge!

He did not flee as before but walked out grandly towards the door.

Two hours later, Gu Yan, covered in blood, broke through to Hua Long Great Perfection.

Behind him lay a pile of corpses.

Many strong individuals who were stronger than him were killed by him across realms!

Looking at Gu Yan’s disappearing back, the surviving strong individuals felt their scalps tingle, as if they had seen a God of Slaughter.

Xuan Realm, Chongxuan Pavilion.

Chu Feng leaned his cheek on one hand, casually half-reclining on the couch.

”[Due to Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Gu Yan straying onto an evil path and being entangled by demonic nature, his Luck has been damaged, and Destiny Value has decreased by ten thousand points. You have obtained heavenly fate treasure chest * 3.]”

The System prompted.
