"No, Sister Roland has been killed by this villain!"
"Quick, kill him, we still have a chance to escape Granny’s punishnt!"
"Yes, attack!"
The other won, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but turn pale with fright, their bodies ice-cold and legs shaky.
Fairy Roland has always been well-liked by Granny i Hua; now that she’s been killed, not only is Gu Yuan, the culprit, dood to die, but they too might be implicated.
"Kill ?"
Gu Yuan’s expression was indifferent as he swept his long sword horizontally, releasing a five-colored sword light.
Seeing that these won were about to be slaughtered on the spot, just then, a jade pearl at one woman’s waist suddenly shone with a faint spiritual light, halting Gu Yuan’s sword. At the sa ti, an elderly woman’s voice emanated from within:
"Stop!!!"
"Little one, where possible, show rcy. For the sake of this old woman’s face, spare them this once, won’t you?"
"Granny i Hua?!"
Gu Yuan’s gaze focused on the jade pearl.
At that mont, a strand of flowing light erged from the pearl, transforming into a faint human figure.
The figure was an image of a hunched old woman, with wrinkled skin and a robe black as night—she appeared quite aged, yet her eyes were bright as stars, radiant and penetrating, possessing an anomalous power that seed to pierce the soul.
"It’s Granny!"
"Granny has co!"
"Granny, it’s this scoundrel, he killed Sister Roland..."
The other won, upon witnessing this, were both surprised and delighted.
"Indeed, it is I!"
The hunched old woman—Granny i Hua—spoke in a calm voice, disregarding the maids beside her, her gaze barely flickering over Gu Yuan, and yet showing a faint furrow.
Although she was rely a divine fragnt, her perception was not weak, yet sohow she couldn’t discern Gu Yuan at all as a young man.
But he was rely a Golden Core Great Cultivator.
He appeared unremarkable, seemingly lacking any special qualities.
Nonetheless, whether it was Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship or the path he displayed, neither could be executed by an ordinary person.
"What, does Granny i Hua intend to avenge your maid?"
Facing Granny i Hua’s divine fragnt, and even with Granny i Hua’s true body watching from afar, Gu Yuan stood leisurely against his sword, his expression calm, neither servile nor overbearing, full of confidence, without any sign of trepidation.
"Young one, how ruthless your thods are! My child Roland clearly pleaded with you for rcy, yet why wouldn’t you spare her?!"
Granny i Hua snorted coldly, her staff striking the ground in displeasure.
"Plead for rcy from ?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan chuckled disdainfully: "If threatening counts as pleading for rcy, then Granny i Hua, your reasoning is truly amusing... Besides..."
"Besides what?"
Granny i Hua’s face turned sour. The other won, anwhile, also began to perceive sothing, each quietly retreating.
Even in Granny i Hua’s presence, this man showed no fear, full of confidence, and given Granny’s previous temperant, she should have acted long ago. Yet now there was no action, implying an underlying reason.
Regardless, it indicated that Gu Yuan was not soone they dared provoke.
Gu Yuan responded dispassionately: "Besides, she’s rely a Third Grade Golden Core, a worthless thing, yet dares to jump around in front of , bossing around, arrogant and domineering; I killed her, and she brought it upon herself."
A re Third Grade Golden Core...
On hearing this, not only were Granny i Hua’s maids taken aback, but even Granny i Hua herself was sowhat stunned.
The surrounding divine thoughts also paused, seemingly startled by his words.
Golden Cores are divided into nine grades: those in the lower three grades possess average potential, with no hope of advancing further—this marks the lowest achievent among Pill Grades.
Upon reaching the middle three grades, one has prospects of ascending to the Yin Spirit Realm, and perhaps even a small chance at the Yang Spirit Realm.
Such achievents are already highly coveted by many.
Regarding the upper three grades, ascending each grade brings near-earth-shattering changes.
With Second or Third Grade Pill Formation, one’s prospects are vast, making future advancent to the Yin Spirit Realm almost certain.
As for the possibility of reaching the Yang Spirit Realm, it becos more prominent. The First Grade Golden Core naturally requires no further ntion, standing as a genuine Primordial Spirit Seed.
Roland’s achievent in Pill Formation of Third Grade was relatively impressive in the East Sea Cultivation Realm.
With Granny i Hua as her backing, she had a considerable hope of advancing to the Yin Spirit Realm, and even a small chance at the Yang Spirit Realm.
Yet such achievent, in Gu Yuan’s eyes, was deed as worthless...
This was their first encounter with anyone labeling a Third Grade Golden Core Great Cultivator as worthless.
"Worthless?"
Granny i Hua’s old face twitched, unable to resist asking, "Then, according to you, what kind of person is not worthless?"
"At the very least, one must be a Second Grade Pill Formation, of course."
Gu Yuan replied.
A Second Grade Pill Formation is akin to touching the boundary of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal, possessing a faint possibility of immortality.
"Heh... Young one, such grand boasts you make!"
Granny i Hua’s face darkened, growing impatient: "Little one, just who are you?! Do you think this old woman dares not act against you?"
In her eyes, Golden Core Great Cultivators were re ants, perhaps just slightly larger ants. Now, this ant had killed her favorite maid and dared to boast so arrogantly, which greatly unsettled her.
Gu Yuan’s face showed a faint smile, "Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is why you sent them to find ?"
"In the end, Roland’s death isn’t my fault; it’s yours for harboring ill intentions toward from the start."
"Of course, you would never admit this. But no matter... Old lady, what’s your plan, just say it straight, because I can’t be bothered to waste words with you!"
When Gu Yuan spoke these words, Granny i Hua’s maids were in shock, incredulous that he would dare speak such things to Granny i Hua—it was truly brazen... how dare he?
"Good! Very good!"
Granny i Hua’s face was a mask of calm, she spoke coldly: "This is the first ti I’ve encountered such a courageous young person... Fine, I’ll be straightforward. I sent Roland to you because I sensed a familiar aura from you, intending to ask you so things directly. Who could have predicted your excessive hostility, leading you to kill with no restraint..."
"A Yang Spirit cannot be insulted... Since you killed my child Roland, then you shall take one stroke of my divine technique; withstand it, and I’ll spare you this once, fail to do so, and it’s rely your bad luck."
"Familiar aura... A Yang Spirit cannot be insulted..."
Gu Yuan suddenly showed a trace of a cold smile: "Calling you a senior, you really consider yourself mighty?"
