Chapter 282: Family Tragedy

Gu Xiuyun sneaked underground for nearly a thousand miles before returning to the surface.

I saw light escaping around him like a rainbow, almost pushing his speed to the extreme.

"I don't know what the situation is in Youning City. Is it true that something has happened as I thought..."

A day and a half had passed since Pei Duanshan activated the communication talisman. It took half a day just to kill the four elders of the Pei family.

Then it took another day to erase most of the traces of the formation in the forest.

Even if he wanted to rush back to Youning City for rescue, it was already too late.

"With the speed of Gu Hanfeng and Yu Qianhu, they can return to the city in half a day. It would take a lot of time for those Dark Moon Mountain disciples to break through the main line formation of Gu Yu's family, half a day... Question Not big.”

Gu Xiuyun's mind flashed with thoughts.

With the Pei family's arrogance, they would never take advantage of the Gu Yu family to suddenly attack Youning City. Doing so would damage the Pei family's face, so even if they set up a secret attack, they would not be too strong.

That messenger talisman was most likely to be used by Dark Moon Mountain disciples.

From Dark Moon Mountain's point of view, if the five elders of the Pei family took action personally, there would be no chance that Gu Hanfeng and Yu Qianhu would survive, so they would not rush to take action. There was a high probability that they would stay outside the formation and wait for Gu and Yu's family to evacuate. Then take the opportunity to attack and kill.

"I hope that as I expected, Dark Moon Mountain will not take action immediately!"

Gu Xiuyun's figure was like a rainbow, crossing the earth and disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Half a day later, when he returned to the outside of Youning City.

All he saw was the devastated city wall, and many guards with broken arms and legs lying beside the city wall to recuperate.

"Even the city wall collapsed, so the battle in Youning City was so brutal?"

Gu Xiuyun frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he first took back the Taiyue Spiritual Realm, restored his appearance, and then sent all the disciples of the Gu Yu family out of the Sumeru Bag.

The disciples of these aristocratic families had all been affixed with the ecstasy charms early and were in a coma. Only Priest Hanhua remained awake.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Ming, how are you handling the formation?" Priest Hanhua glanced around and quickly determined that this was outside Youning City.

Although the city wall is dilapidated, its original appearance can still be vaguely seen.

"It has been taken care of," Gu Xiuyun took off the enchantment charms on everyone's heads one by one and said, "These children of the aristocratic families will not be able to wake up for a while. Fellow Taoist help me take care of them first. Judging from the situation, something seems to have happened in the city. I need to go to town quickly

have a look. "

"good!"

Priest Hanhua nodded in response.

Gu Xiuyun's body was surrounded by escaping light, and he slowly walked through the wasteland and rushed towards Youning City.

At this moment, he only used low-level escape techniques, and the spiritual power in his body was restrained as much as possible to prevent others from noticing anything unusual.

It can be seen from the tattered city walls that Youning City really experienced a fierce fighting.

At this moment, the guards were standing on the city wall, and it was obvious that the war was over.

If it is true that this battle was carried out by Dark Moon Mountain as Gu Xiuyun guessed, then the four great sects will most likely send strong men to investigate. In front of Douxiao Realm, he cannot hide at all, so Gu Xiuyun must not Return to the city as Taoist Quan Ming.

Dunguang came to the base of the city wall. Several guards looked down and saw that it was Gu Xiuyun. They quickly put down the iron rope and opened a crack in the formation barrier guarding the city.

"What happened? How did Youning City become like this?" Gu Xiuyun asked repeatedly without waiting for the guards to salute.

"Reporting to Mr. Yun, a large number of demonic beasts attacked the city yesterday, including a sixth-level demon. Facing the powerful enemy, the tribesmen rushed to the city wall to resist. Who knew that there would be an evil cultivator who took the opportunity to make a sneak attack..."

"That battle was really tragic. Several members of the two families died. Over a hundred members of the Kaimai realm were killed or injured. Other families also suffered heavy losses. Even ordinary mortals were killed by tens of thousands of monsters that broke into the city."

Hearing this, Gu Xiuyun frowned.

"Fortunately, the two great elders returned to the city later, killed most of the demonic beasts, and drove the sixth-level demon out of Youning City, so that we could save our lives."

…

The guards said something to each other and recounted yesterday's fight in detail.

"It seems that what I expected is correct. Pei Duanshan not only hates Gu Hanfeng Yu Qianhu, but also hates Dark Moon Mountain. This move of his is killing two birds with one stone."

Gu Xiuyun's mind was spinning.

The purpose of leading Dark Moon Mountain to take action was to let Gu Yu's family bury him with him, but Gu Hanfeng and Yu Qianhu were not dead. Once they returned to the city and saw the devastated scene, they would definitely seek revenge from Dark Moon Mountain.

In this case, both sides will fight to the death.

Pei Duanshan's move was indeed cruel enough.

Fortunately, Gu Xiuyun thought of this and asked Gu Hanfeng and Yu Qianhu to rush back to Youning City in time, otherwise the two families would really be destroyed in one fell swoop!

"Let's go back to the main line first to see how many clan members have been lost."

Gu Xiuyun's body flashed with light, and he rushed towards the main line of the Gu family.

As soon as they passed through the formation barrier, they heard the cries and howls from within the clan.

In the training ground, mutilated corpses were wrapped in white cloth and placed on the bluestone ground, surrounded by clan members with tears in their eyes.

When monsters attack a city, the cultivators will always suffer the most casualties, because they need to resist the monsters.

As for the secular mortals, although they all live at the bottom of the city and cannot see sunlight, flowers and grass on weekdays, it is also difficult for monsters to penetrate the thick earth and invade underground.

The human family living on the second floor were not so lucky.

After the monsters entered the city, the first thing they saw were the mansions and courtyards of the major families.

"The clan has lost so many practitioners?" Gu Xiuyun looked around.

Suddenly, his face froze.

In the crowd, his mother, Madam Yu, and Gu Xiushu knelt beside a corpse wrapped in white cloth, their eyes faintly red.

"Could it be..."

Gu Xiuyun had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master, you have lived a carefree life and have never been to Ruoshui Sect."

"But you once said that as a descendant of the Gu family, you must put the interests of the family first. If one day you can fight for the family, even if you die, you will not be ashamed of your ancestors."

"You are gone, but Yun'er is still here. He will inherit your will, work hard to practice, and make the family stronger."

Madam Yu murmured in a low voice.

Madam Yu did not have much affection for Gu Qingyuan. Their marriage was originally a marriage between the Gu and Yu families, so Gu Qingyuan found many concubines and outer rooms, but after so many years of getting along, the two of them had more or less some feelings.

Looking at Gu Qingyuan's incomplete body, Madam Yu was overwhelmed with emotions, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot.

"Mother, father..."

Gu Xiuyun walked to Madam Yu's side, his eyes were a little heavy.

"Yun'er, kneel down. Although he is not a good father, he gave birth to you and raised you. But from now on, you will be the one to shoulder the responsibility of the Fourth Branch of the Gu Family!" Mrs. Yu's voice was filled with sadness.

Not far from them, the eldest lady of the Fourth Branch and the young masters and ladies also knelt in front of a corpse wrapped in white cloth.

Gu Qingyuan and Gu Qingzheng both sacrificed their lives for the family.

Pah!

Gu Xiuyun knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times.
