The Sword Intent truce period ended, and the Demon Castle, Alchemist Guild, and Heavenly Sword City Lord's Mansion jointly announced the end of the martial arts ban.
"Elder Lu, City Lord Lin, we shall meet again if fate allows." After announcing the end of the martial arts ban, Elder Lin said to Elder Lu and Lin Hanyue.
"Alright, have a safe journey." Elder Lu, wearing a golden cloak, nodded to Elder Lin.
Lin Hanyue also cupped his fists at Elder Lin. He was a little puzzled; Elder Lin seemed to be in a great hurry, but it had nothing to do with him.
There were some things Lin Hanyue didn't know, but Elder Lu did, though he naturally wouldn't say anything.
Elder Lin left with his entourage. The Expert from the Alchemist Guild he brought were to maintain order during the Sword Intent eruption period in Heavenly Sword Mountain and could not stay. Gu Xiaoyou was not qualified to use the Alchemist Guild's personnel.
The people in front of the City Lord's Mansion dispersed, and those in the city went about their business. Some Sword Cultivators began to enter Heavenly Sword Mountain to Cultivate.
Qin Chu was still in the inn, studying the Sword Intent Grass in his Dantian. The aura emanating from the Sword Intent Grass was still purifying his Sword Origin Qi.
Gu Xiaoyou left the Alchemist Guild but was stopped by Yuan Qi.
"Young Miss Gu, this seat believes you should think twice before acting!" Yuan Qi said to Gu Xiaoyou. Elder Lin had left, and the remaining mess was his. He still wanted to make an effort to persuade Gu Xiaoyou.
"Guild Master Yuan Qi, the Guild doesn't need to concern itself with this matter! I want to see how arrogant he can be, and what capital he has for such arrogance!" Gu Xiaoyou did not accept Yuan Qi's persuasion. Even Elder Lin couldn't persuade her, so Yuan Qi certainly couldn't.
Yuan Qi shook his head helplessly. He was also very frustrated by the situation.
Not long after, the inn where Qin Chu was staying was surrounded by Gu family members led by Gu Xiaoyou.
"Qin Chu, get out!" Standing at the entrance of the inn, Gu Xiaoyou shouted.
Annoyed! His Cultivation was interrupted, and Qin Chu was very unhappy. He stood up and came to the entrance of the inn.
Gu Xiaoyou stood at the inn's entrance, surrounded by Gu family members.
"You think you've got me cornered? By what right?" Qin Chu was very angry. This Gu Xiaoyou was truly endless.
"By what right... By my good birth, by the people around me, by my stronger strength, by the fact that I want to move you, and no one will stop me." Gu Xiaoyou looked at Qin Chu with cold eyes. In her eyes, Qin Chu was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"That's not necessarily true!" Officer Guan appeared with some people wearing demon cloaks. If Qin Chu joined the Demon Castle, he would protect Qin Chu. This was Elder Lu's intention.
Qin Chu cupped his fists at Officer Guan, "Thank you, I can handle it." He saw Qin Longxuan, wearing a bamboo hat, appear with his people.
"Heh heh, you can handle it? Then I'll watch how you handle it. If you can't, I'll chop off your hands and feet first, then slowly deal with you!" Gu Xiaoyou laughed.
"You have a good background? You have people around you? Then this seat will show you that your background is trash, and the people you brought are also trash. Except for this woman, not a single one of the others will be left alive!" Qin Longxuan waved his arm. At this moment, a group of people behind him, wearing black Face masks, attacked.
The battle erupted in front of the inn.
In just a moment, not a single Gu family member was left alive; all were slaughtered. The two sides were not on the same level, like an eagle crushing a chick. The Gu family's people had no ability to resist and were crushed to death.
After the battle, Qin Longxuan waved his hand, and the people he brought scattered into the crowd and disappeared.
"Who are you?" Gu Xiaoyou's Face was pale. She hadn't expected such a situation to arise.
"Gu Zhengxiong wouldn't be so arrogant in front of this seat!" Qin Longxuan's voice was very cold. He was very angry that this woman dared to use her background and numbers to attack Qin Chu. She truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Come, now what right do you have to corner me?" Qin Chu looked at Gu Xiaoyou.
"Go to hell!" The enraged Gu Xiaoyou swung her battle saber and charged at Qin Chu. She was a Middle Stage Five-level Heavenly Origin Realm Cultivator. As her battle saber came out, the saber Qi was fierce!
Qin Chu raised his right hand, the Azure Spirit Sword in his grasp. Then, energy from his body poured into his arm, and a diagonal thrust from the basic sword technique was unleashed. The moment the long sword was about to touch Gu Xiaoyou's battle saber, Qin Chu's Level Five Sword Intent erupted, rushing towards Gu Xiaoyou.
Under the impact of Qin Chu's Level Five Sword Intent, Gu Xiaoyou's body trembled, and there was no strength left in her battle saber, which was directly knocked away by Qin Chu's Azure Spirit Sword.
After knocking away Gu Xiaoyou's battle saber, Qin Chu's Azure Spirit Sword changed from a diagonal thrust to a straight thrust, aiming for Gu Xiaoyou's throat.
"Qin Chu, spare her!" Yuan Qi arrived and immediately shouted upon his arrival.
Hearing Yuan Qi's words, Qin Chu's Azure Spirit Sword stopped at Gu Xiaoyou's throat.
"For the sake of Elder Lin and Guild Master Yuan Qi's Face, I won't kill you, but I must teach you a lesson. You are useless except for relying on your Elders and living off them!" Qin Chu waved his left hand, and a loud slap landed on Gu Xiaoyou's Face, directly knocking her to the ground.
Yuan Qi nodded at Qin Chu. Although Qin Chu had dealt with Gu Xiaoyou, he was very grateful that Qin Chu had spared Gu Xiaoyou's life, preventing the situation from becoming irreparable.
"I won't let you go!" Gu Xiaoyou stood up, her eyes filled with venom as she looked at Qin Chu.
"Do you think I want to let you go? I'm doing this for Guild Master Yuan Qi and Elder Lin's Face. If you provoke me again, no one can save you." Qin Chu said coldly.
Yuan Qi pulled Gu Xiaoyou, fearing that Gu Xiaoyou would say something to enrage Qin Chu again. In this situation, if Qin Chu wanted to kill Gu Xiaoyou, he couldn't stop him, because Qin Longxuan, who stood on Qin Chu's side, was too strong.
"Guild Master Yuan Qi, tell Gu Zhengxiong to control his descendants. Some people he cannot afford to provoke." Qin Longxuan said to Guild Master Yuan Qi.
After looking at Qin Longxuan, Yuan Qi left with Gu Xiaoyou. At this moment, he understood that Qin Chu was not alone; there was a powerful force behind Qin Chu. This was not just Yuan Qi's feeling; many people had realized this.
After Yuan Qi left, Elder Lu appeared. He looked at Qin Longxuan, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a scar on your arm."
Qin Longxuan turned and left, not responding to Elder Lu's words at all.
"Back then, you could take a saber for me. Now that there's trouble, why can't you see me?" Elder Lu shouted at Qin Longxuan.
Qin Longxuan's body paused for a moment but still left the inn area.
Turning back to look at the inn, Qin Chu left. This matter was just an interlude for him. His plan was to Cultivate Sword Intent in Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Yuan Qi brought Gu Xiaoyou back to the Alchemist Guild. "This seat saved your life, so now you must listen to this seat. Later, this seat will send someone to escort you back to Sacred Martial City. Remember, if you act recklessly again, no one can save your life."
After instructing someone to watch Gu Xiaoyou, Yuan Qi found Chu Shan.
"Senior Brother, stop drinking tea. It's a big deal. Everyone from the Gu family, except Gu Xiaoyou, has been slaughtered." Arriving at Chu Shan's courtyard, Yuan Qi took the teacup from Chu Shan's hand.
"All dead?" Chu Shan looked at Yuan Qi in surprise.
