Chapter 2530 - 690: A Wedding Invitation from the Poison Medicine Sect
An Yiqing has stayed in the Ancient Martial World for eight days, remaining mostly within the Gu Family Old Residence and not venturing much into town. Since the incident at Fengluan Mountain, Gu Yulin had already left the Ancient Martial Alliance. The Alliance Hierarch has become the Gu family’s arch-enemy, Nangong Jue.
Speaking of Nangong Jue, he does indeed have some skills. Back in the year at Fengluan Mountain, when he saw the situation deteriorating, he left everyone behind and fled with his daughter. Later, everyone on Fengluan Mountain was massacred by the rampaging Gu Yelin. Nangong Jue returned, crying his eyes out, only claiming that he narrowly escaped. People believed him and elevated him to the position of Alliance Hierarch of the Ancient Martial Alliance.
Since then, the Ancient Martial Alliance became mortal enemies with the Gu Family, with people coming every day, clamoring for the Gu Family to hand over Gu Yelin. It wasn’t until later, when Gu Yelin relocated the base of The Dark Organization here and Cao Xiaosha and others went on a killing spree, that those people were intimidated into silence.
Nonetheless, the Ancient Martial Alliance’s schemes continued unabated. Nangong Jue was intent on eradicating Gu Yelin and cleansing the Gu Family, occasionally stirring up trouble to disconcert everyone.
An Yiqing didn’t like seeing Nangong Jue, so she simply stayed at the Gu Family without going out. Later, when Little Bun insisted on going out, she had no choice but to accompany him along with Gu Yelin. As luck would have it, they ran into Nangong Jue again.
Nangong Jue, a typical bully who fears the strong, was alone that day. Upon seeing Gu Yelin, he turned around and left, without any of the presence befitting an Alliance Hierarch of the Ancient Martial Alliance. An Yiqing sneered repeatedly, questioning what future the Ancient Martial Alliance could possibly have.
On the ninth day of her stay in the Ancient Martial World, Old Master Gu’s thunder tribulation finally arrived. The Gu Family gathered in the back mountains of the Gu Family, anxiously awaiting Old Master Gu’s tribulation breakthrough. An Yiqing and Gu Yelin held the Qingying Sword and Sky Devil Sword, sitting beside Old Master Gu to lend him a helping hand.
The thunder rumbled, and dark clouds loomed. The Gu Family had experienced such a scene once a year and a half ago, and everyone felt uneasy.
With a crash— the first bolt of heavenly thunder struck down, Old Master Gu’s body swayed, his face paling slightly. An Yiqing and Gu Yelin exchanged glances, and the Qingying Sword and Sky Devil Sword were simultaneously hurled into the lightning. Twin beams of light exploded, and the second bolt of thunder struck straight at the two sharp swords!
Inner Breath was poured into Old Master Gu’s body as if it were free. An Yiqing looked up at the two swords. The power of the heavenly thunder was largely dispersed by the two swords, sparing Old Master Gu some torment.
Crash— the third bolt of thunder followed closely after the second, striking Old Master Gu’s head. His body shook, and his Inner Breath surged again. As if displeased with Old Master Gu’s resistance, the fourth bolt of thunder quickly descended with even greater might.
The Gu Family stood nervously on the outskirts, motionless, eyes fixed on the center of the lightning. Gu Yulin kept an eye on Old Master Gu while remaining alert to the surrounding disturbances.
After a long while, the deafening sound gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky swiftly parted, revealing a bright sunlight.
Seven bolts of heavenly thunder, and Old Master Gu successfully advanced to Breaking Void to Divinity!
This was the second person in the Gu Family to enter Breaking Void to Divinity, and everyone in the Gu Family was very pleased. An Yiqing and Gu Yelin stood up, supporting Old Master Gu as they walked out.
"Second Grandfather, congratulations, congratulations!" Gu Yulin was the first to step forward, smiling as he cupped his hands.
Old Master Gu’s face was a bit pale, but he couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes. He nodded repeatedly in thanks, "Everyone was worried, let’s celebrate together, celebrate together!"
That night, the Gu Family Mansion was brightly lit, lavish delicacies were served like flowing water, and the whole family was in harmony. It seemed that since the incident a year and a half ago, there hadn’t been such happiness.
Gu Yelin sat at the dining table holding An Yiqing’s hand, watching Gu Yulin, who was laughing and chatting with the two old masters, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes. An Yiqing comfortingly squeezed his hand, worried in her heart.
Gu Yulin losing his position as alliance leader was largely related to Gu Yelin’s God-Devil Physique. An Yiqing knew that the man always felt very apologetic towards the Gu Family.
Turning to look at Gu Yulin laughing heartily, An Yiqing smiled and raised her wine glass.
"Cousin Yulin," she stood up with her glass, "for the past year, you have worried a lot for us. Xiao Qing will always remember this, and I toast to you with this glass of wine."
Everyone quieted down, and Gu Yulin watched as An Yiqing stood. He raised his glass, smiling at her, "We’re all family, there’s no need for thanks or apologies. A blessing in disguise, who knows if it’s not a good thing. With mundane matters set aside, I can focus on honing my skills. Haha, I strive to become the third person in the Gu Family to enter Breaking Void to Divinity!"
