Chapter 73

Gu Chen shook his head slowly.

The smile on Huang Pingzhang's face disappeared. Everyone in the Huang Family fell silent.

Huang Fei was so shy that she lowered her head. But when she sensed the sudden silence, she looked up and saw Gu Chen's voice.

"My goal is to cultivate. I have no interest in the affairs between men and women. I have to disappoint you. Miss Huang is a good person. You should find a better partner. "

Gu Chen was telling the truth. He was carrying a blood feud with him. How could he be interested in the affairs between men and women? He wished he could spend every second on cultivation.

He understood the Huang Family's intention. It was just a marriage of benefits. He could not accept it.

To him, the Huang Family was just a temporary place to settle down. He could not stay in a corner forever.

"I see."

Huang Pingzhang felt a little regretful, but he was not unhappy. "Being able to cultivate to such a level at such a young age, Fellow Cultivator Chen, your focus is indeed a very important factor. I was being rude."

"There is no rush. Who knows what will happen in a few years?"

He laughed, and the Huang family laughed as well, but the atmosphere was obviously a lot more awkward.

Huang Fei's eyes became misty. She pursed her lips and did not say a word.

That day, Gu Chen left in an awkward atmosphere. The Huang Family had defeated the Lan Family. They turned out in full force and started a bloodbath on the Lan Family members in the Greedy Wolf City.

It was a cruel massacre. The winner was the king. The Huang Family quickly took over all the properties of the Lan Family, including those they had taken from the Qian Family.

When night fell, the news that the Huang Family had become the most powerful force in the Greedy Wolf City had spread throughout the city.

The reputation of the young worshiper, Chen Gu, spread even further. People were amazed that the Huang Family was so lucky to have such a powerful family.

Late at night, in Gu Chen's courtyard.

The white ape was nowhere to be seen. Gu Chen was lying on a chair, reading a yellow diary with delicate handwriting.

This diary was left behind by the deceased Zheng Li. She had a habit of writing things down, and the background of the Zheng siblings revealed in the diary was somewhat special.

"It turns out that the Zheng siblings are actually disciples of the Yin Yang Sword Sect in Youzhou of the Central Empire. They were wanted by the Yin Yang Sword Sect because they stole a secret treasure that was supposed to be delivered to the sect. Thus, they concealed their identities and fled to Baijing Mansion."

Gu Chen murmured. The first time he met the Zheng siblings, he could tell that their temperament was different from ordinary loose cultivators. The battle during the day also showed this.

This diary explained his doubts very well. These two siblings were really audacious. In order to covet the secret treasure, they did not hesitate to become outlaws.

It was a pity that they would never have thought that the Greedy Wolf City, which was supposed to be their temporary hideout, would eventually become their burial ground.

"Speaking of which, those two are really idiots. They stole the secret treasure, but they don't even know how to use it."

Gu Chen's other hand was lightly tossing a simple and unadorned small black cauldron, admiring it curiously.

This small cauldron was the secret treasure of the Yin Yang Sword Sect that the Zheng siblings had stolen. Unfortunately, even though they had stolen it, they were completely unable to understand the mystery of this secret treasure. They did not even know what it was used for.

Gu Chen had just checked it over and over again, but he did not find anything special about this small cauldron.

It was not even a magic treasure. Gu Chen tried to penetrate it with his divine sense, trying to leave a mark to control it.

However, he found that any divine sense that entered it was like a clay ox entering a swamp, unable to produce the slightest reaction.

Thus, in his opinion, this thing was of little value. It was not as good as his other gains.

The four cultivators' storage rings were filled with medicinal pills and resources. Added together, they were about three times that of Qian Fengbao's.

If he sold those magic treasures and materials that Gu Chen had no use for, he would probably be able to exchange them for a lot of medicinal pills.

"Last time, all of the Qian family's resources were barely enough for me to reach the peak of the middle stage of the Divine Ability Stage. The further I cultivate, the more money I have to spend."

Gu Chen reckoned that he planned to sell all the useless things in the four cultivators' storage rings and exchange them for medicinal pills. That was the most important thing to him.

Relying on these pills, he would definitely be able to step into the late stage of the Divine Ability Stage. As for whether or not he could reach the Perfection of the Divine Ability Stage, that would depend on his luck.

"Hmm?"

Just as Gu Chen was thinking, all the hairs on his body suddenly stood up, and a sudden killing intent locked onto him!

His expression changed, and he almost immediately jumped up from the chair. In the next moment, the chair was shattered by a spear radiance!

"Whiz ~ ~ ~"

A pale white spear radiance swayed, and once again pounced towards him, like a flood dragon coming out of the abyss!

Gu Chen was in midair, and was caught off guard, so it was impossible for him to dodge. With a thought, a pair of blue wings that were as thin as cicada wings appeared on his back.

"Swish."

With a flap of the Wind Travel Wings, he forcibly shifted half a zhang away, and Gu Chen dodged the spear radiance. He glided in the air and landed on the roof.

His expression sank, and he looked at the figure that came out of the darkness with a spear, and his eyes narrowed.

The attacker in front of him was eight feet tall, and he had a strong physique. He was wearing a night suit, and with that spear in his hand, it was as though the entire world was under his control.

"Who are you?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

That person was wearing a mask, and he didn't reply. His body emitted a colorful mist, and he left an afterimage in his original position. He crossed the void and arrived in the blink of an eye!

Gu Chen's expression turned cold, and he took out the Hongtai Heavy Sword. "Clang!"

The heavy sword clashed with the spear, and Gu Chen's hand actually went numb!

It wasn't that his strength was inferior to the opponent, but the opponent's spear contained a skillful force, and he actually suffered a loss due to his carelessness.

Sou, sou, sou!

The black-clothed man waved his spear repeatedly, and it was like a flood dragon overturning the seas.

Gu Chen bounced up, and the roof was smashed into pieces by the spear radiance.

Wind Chant Sword Art!

Blazing Flame Sword Art!

Gu Chen waved his sword repeatedly, and wind blades and fire slashes rained down.

That black-clothed man was hidden in the mist, and his figure flashed a few times. He was extremely fast, and he easily dodged the attacks.

Swoosh!

He got close to Gu Chen again, and his spear radiance pierced through the air.

Gu Chen flapped his Wind Travel Wings, and he dodged the spear and landed on the ground.

The black-clothed man chased after him almost immediately, and his movement technique was as fast as lightning.

Gu Chen snorted coldly, and he executed the Netherworld Movement Technique, blending into the darkness, and circling around his opponent.

Bang! Boom!

The heavy sword and the spear clashed repeatedly, and sparks flew everywhere.

His opponent's spear technique was tricky and sharp, and he struck at the weak spot. Gu Chen felt strained, and he changed his sword technique, executing the Shadow Sword Art!

This was the highest grade sword art he knew, and it was a yellow-grade superior-grade sword art. He didn't use it even when he was dealing with the four cultivators during the day.

But in order to deal with this black-clothed man, he had no choice but to use it!

The Hongtai Heavy Sword turned into a black shadow, and it flickered between bright and dark, fast and slow. The sword's trajectory was elusive like a ghost.

In an instant, the gap between them shrunk, and they were evenly matched!

The commotion caused by the battle was too great, and the people of the Huang Residence, who were far away, soon sensed it, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Sou.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man forced Gu Chen back with his spear, and he retreated into a dark corner of the courtyard!

"You won't be able to escape."

Gu Chen slashed with his heavy sword, and the sword radiance brushed past his opponent's clothes.

His opponent's body was shrouded in a colorful mist, and after a moment of distortion, he disappeared on the spot!
