Just after Duan Fei informed Gu Changsheng about the Pure Yang Tower in Jubei City being destroyed, he learned that the Dark Commander had arrived with his men. Therefore, he came out to greet them.
Duan Fei looked at the Dark Commander and the familiar faces behind him, and asked in confusion, "Dark Commander, what brings you here this time?"
The Dark Commander waved his hand and said, "Vice Sect Leader Duan, no need to be so polite. His Majesty said we are here as friends to help you investigate the Pure Yang Tower incident in Jubei City."
"..." Duan Fei was sweating profusely. Did I even act polite? And, was it necessary to emphasize the 'friend' relationship? As if I wouldn't know otherwise.
Duan Fei naturally understood Murong Tianjian's intentions and didn't dwell on the Dark Commander's words. He invited the Dark Commander and his men inside.
Inside the main hall of the sect, Duan Fei and the Dark Commander's group took their seats.
The Dark Commander asked, "Vice Sect Leader Duan, I wonder what your thoughts are on the Pure Yang Tower incident in Jubei City?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Fei's expression turned grave. He said, "I have already reported the situation to my teacher. I don't know how things will develop from here."
"What? Senior is going to take action personally?" The Dark Commander was shocked. A few years ago, Gu Changsheng had merely snapped his fingers and killed those impersonating the Seven Stars Sword Sect in different locations across the Northern Chen Star. That scene was still vivid in his mind. What would be the result of Gu Changsheng taking action again?
"Vice Sect Leader Duan, may I ask, what was Senior's attitude after learning about this matter?" The Dark Commander asked.
Duan Fei shook his head and said, "My teacher only said 'I'll handle it' and then disappeared."
The Dark Commander secretly guessed that the tone of those words must have been very calm, so the situation shouldn't be too bad.
...
In Jubei City, Gu Changsheng, dressed in green robes, walked down the street towards the Pure Yang Tower.
At this time, the pedestrians on the streets of Jubei City were hurrying along. The Seven Stars Sword Sect opening the Pure Yang Tower in Jubei City was undoubtedly a great thing for the loose cultivators in Jubei City, but the destruction of the Pure Yang Tower cast a shadow over their hearts.
All of this was because of Gu Changsheng.
They didn't recognize Gu Changsheng, but they knew the content of the Ten-Year Agreement. During these ten years, anyone who dared to attack the Seven Stars Sword Sect would face Gu Changsheng's reckoning. At that time, the content of the Ten-Year Agreement spread throughout the entire Northern Chen Star. Unless you were deaf, you couldn't possibly not know about it.
Now, with just over a year left in the Ten-Year Agreement, the Pure Yang Tower in Jubei City was destroyed. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the powerful figure behind the Seven Stars Sword Sect. If that powerful figure blamed Jubei City, countless creatures in Jubei City would suffer.
Everyone in Jubei City was currently in great torment. They were all praying that the powerful figure behind the Seven Stars Sword Sect would not vent their anger on Jubei City.
Walking on the street, Gu Changsheng felt the emotions of the people around him. He didn't need to read minds to know what was going on.
"Am I such a cruel person?" Gu Changsheng asked himself. He didn't seem so cruel as to vent his anger on others, right?
Gu Changsheng shook his head and walked to the front of the Pure Yang Tower.
At this time, the Pure Yang Tower was already under the control of the Seven Stars Sword Sect. Moreover, because Gu Changsheng had recently lectured the disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, they naturally recognized Gu Changsheng.
They were about to kneel down to welcome Gu Changsheng, but Gu Changsheng stopped them.
"Are you trying to scare people to death?" Gu Changsheng said, then walked inside.
"Scare people to death?" The disciples looked confused. Soon, they understood.
The people of Jubei City were now worried that the Old Ancestor would vent his anger on them. If they knew that the Old Ancestor had already come to Jubei City, some timid people might really be scared to death.
"The Old Ancestor is truly benevolent!"
"Yes, yes!"
The disciples all showed expressions of pride. Their own Old Ancestor was so considerate in not scaring others.
After Gu Changsheng walked in, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, causing him to frown slightly.
"Old Ancestor, you've arrived?"
At this time, Chen Fan walked over. He had been in a large city near Jubei City. After learning about the incident at the Pure Yang Tower in Jubei City, he rushed to Jubei City as quickly as possible. He was also the one who sent the message back to the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
"Mm!" Gu Changsheng nodded and said, "Little Chen!"
"Disciple is here!" Chen Fan's expression turned serious.
"Don't be so nervous. Just don't be too shocked later," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes!" Although Chen Fan had doubts in his heart, he didn't say them out loud.
Gu Changsheng looked at the hall full of corpses, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.
Someone dared to attack the Seven Stars Sword Sect during his Ten-Year Agreement. That was a provocation to him.
Gu Changsheng waved his hand, and a magical scene appeared.
The corpses seemed to be experiencing the reversal of time. The blood on the ground began to flow back, and soon, the dead people were standing alive in front of Chen Fan.
"This... this..." Chen Fan's face was full of shock. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and even slapped himself, feeling the burning pain. Chen Fan confirmed that this was not a dream.
"Really... resurrected!"
Chen Fan's eyes widened like copper bells. It wasn't a dream, but it was more like a dream. Resurrection from the dead was a legend among legends. Throughout history, even the Great Emperors of ancient times couldn't achieve resurrection from the dead. Could it be that the Old Ancestor had surpassed the Great Emperor?
My God, if that's the case, then the backing of their Seven Stars Sword Sect is too great!
Chen Fan couldn't even imagine it.
Gu Changsheng glanced at Chen Fan and said, "Didn't I remind you not to be too shocked?"
"Old Ancestor, with your heaven-defying methods, if this disciple isn't shocked, wouldn't that be disrespectful to these methods?" Chen Fan said with a wry smile. If this isn't shocking, then when will it be shocking?
"Wasn't I dead?"
"Could this be the underworld?"
At this time, the resurrected people woke up, and they also noticed Gu Changsheng and Chen Fan.
"Elder Chen is one thing, but Old Ancestor, how did you die too?"
Someone asked in shock.
Gu Changsheng's face darkened, and Chen Fan's face darkened even more. What do you mean by 'Elder Chen is one thing'? Is my strength that bad?
"What dead? The Old Ancestor used heaven-defying methods to resurrect you all. You don't even thank him properly, and you're cursing the Old Ancestor. You're really..." Chen Fan was furious.
"Resurrected?"
"We've been resurrected?"
"Ouch, Wang Jiu, why are you pinching me?"
"It hurts? If it hurts, then it's not a dream. We've really been resurrected."
"Then why don't you pinch yourself?"
"I... I'm afraid of pain!"
"If you're afraid of pain, why did you rush forward so bravely?" The man said dejectedly.
"Hehe, the situation was urgent at the time. I forgot that I was afraid of pain," Wang Jiu scratched his head awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss." Chen Fan quickly stopped them. It's fine usually, but the Old Ancestor is still here. Is it appropriate for you to be so unruly?
"Old Ancestor, I'm sorry. We're just too excited."
These people apologized to Gu Changsheng one after another.
Gu Changsheng shook his head and then said, "You all performed very well!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Old Ancestor, we lost countless Pure Yang Crystals. We know we were wrong. Please punish us!"
Everyone thought that Gu Changsheng was being sarcastic and knelt down in unison. Chen Fan, who was on the side, also knelt down to plead for them, saying, "Old Ancestor, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the losses of the Pure Yang Tower in Jubei City. If I had personally escorted them back then, this wouldn't have happened."
Gu Changsheng was helpless. He waved his hand and lifted everyone up.
"When I said you performed well, I wasn't being sarcastic. Your performance was really good."
"Wang Jiu, you were clearly afraid of pain, but you were the first to rush towards the enemy that day. What? Weren't you afraid of pain then?"
Wang Jiu was a young man in his twenties. Hearing the Old Ancestor call his name, he said nervously, "Those people wanted to snatch our Sword Sect's Pure Yang Crystals. How could that be allowed? Even if it meant death, we couldn't let them snatch them."
"Courage is commendable, but your strength is a bit weak. Go back and cultivate properly!" Gu Changsheng said.
"Yes!" Wang Jiu said solemnly.
Next, Gu Changsheng pointed out each of the people present one by one, praising their spirit of fearlessly defending the interests of the sect when they encountered danger.
"If my rebellious disciple knew that the sect he founded could have disciples like you, I'm afraid his butt would be sticking up to the sky."
Gu Changsheng chuckled. Although these people were weak, they had a promising future.
"Thank you for the praise, Old Ancestor!"
Everyone finally showed a relieved smile.
"Old Ancestor, do you already know who the murderer is?" At this time, Chen Fan said.
"Mm!" Gu Changsheng nodded slightly.
"Who is it?" Chen Fan asked.
Gu Changsheng said, "Some escaped fish!"
