Chapter 714 - 388: What? The Gu Family Young Madam Sets Out to Capture Old Demon Duan Alive!

The head of the Gu Family is called "Gu Cai Shen," and has always been extremely mysterious. Some say he communicates with gods through money, exchanging wealth for eternal life. Thus, the Gu Family has a legacy spanning over a thousand years but only two family heads. The first head lived for five hundred years, and the second has long surpassed five hundred years, possibly achieving true immortality.

Of course, this is all just rumor. Some say the Gu Family head is far more than two people, but they all wear the same human skin mask, generation after generation, giving the illusion of eternal life.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the Gu Family is a remarkably deep-rooted and intimidating family.

In the early morning, the Young Madam of the Gu Family, Lei Ying, was practicing her sword technique.

While practicing, she did not prefer silence. She liked to practice while listening to the sounds of carriages and carts coming and going.

Because that was the sound of money in circulation, the sound of communicating with the divine, which the poor could not hear.

But today, she not only heard the thundering sound of hooves but also the hurried footsteps of people.

The footsteps of poor people.

Apart from masters like her, the Gu Family was full of poor people.

The poor barely count as people, with an odor of poverty invisible and undetectable even to themselves, a notion Lei Ying had known since childhood.

At this moment, the servant dashed in, his first words upon entering were–"Young Madam, it’s not good."

The Young Madam’s face showed displeasure.

She enjoyed hearing the sound of hooves while practicing, but did not like being interrupted.

She was in the most heated part of her practice.

A ghostly blue sword with red patterns was now wedged between her ample bosom, faintly visible, ready to emerge.

Young Madam Lei Ying had a resounding name in the Martial World, the Heavenly Fragrance Phoenix Blade, and her sword technique "Fire Phoenix from the Abyss" was equally renowned.

The unique aspect of Fire Phoenix from the Abyss was its method of unsheathing.

Others draw their swords from scabbards, but the Young Madam draws hers from the chasm of her full bosom.

It is said that when drawn, the sword’s wind is like a Fire Phoenix emerging from the abyss, burning everything.

Since gaining fame, the Young Madam has faced many grandmasters without suffering defeat.

Many grandmasters who witnessed the Young Madam’s "Fire Phoenix Emerges from the Abyss" praised it endlessly, saying it was the most stunning blow they had ever seen, like peering into an abyss.

Now her sword was in the chasm of her bosom, about to be drawn, and she was interrupted, visibly displeased.

But she knew well, this servant understood the rules and would not act this way unless it was important.

So she patiently asked, "What is it?"

"Young Madam, our Gu Family’s Wangchun City has been occupied by Old Demon Duan with his band of demons, and both the Great Elders of the sect were killed."

"What?"

The Young Madam’s chest trembled with surprise.

This situation was more serious than she imagined. The area of Wangchun City was known as the "Granary of Yun State," and Wangchun City was one of the major cities controlled by their Gu Family, and one of their largest sources of wealth.

Now someone dared to occupy it!

"Old Demon Duan, hasn’t he heard of this Madam’s title of ’Heavenly Fragrance Phoenix Blade’?"

The servant responded with a worried face, "Perhaps he has, but Old Demon Duan has always been recklessly bold."

"Outrageous! Daring to invade the Gu Family’s property, this Madam will surely capture and brutally torment him!"

"Someone, prepare the palanquin!"

The servant hesitantly suggested, "Young Madam, for such a significant matter, shouldn’t we inform the Young Master first?"

Lei Ying’s face darkened, "The Young Master’s Divine Skill is about to reach completion, he absolutely cannot be disturbed in these months."

The servant added, "But I know that Old Demon Duan has never been defeated, even annihilating the Huangshan Sword Sect."

Lei Ying’s pupils flashed with red light, "Has this Madam ever suffered defeat in her countless battles?"

The servant dared not speak, silently lamenting.

The Young Madam spoke the truth; she had faced numerous grandmaster and sect leader level experts without a single loss. Yet, whether these experts deliberately let her win out of respect for the Gu Family remains unknown.

After all, as a servant, he did not understand the duels between experts.

But he knew clearly that at this moment, nothing could stop the Young Madam.

Because he only saw the words "invincible" on the Young Madam’s face.

The Young Madam considered herself invincible!

If he tried to block her path now, wouldn’t he risk being overwhelmed by the sword drawn from her bosom?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Madam, please be sure to bring more experts from the family."

"Hmph!"

The Young Madam Lei Ying flicked her sleeve and headed towards the luxurious palanquin with the sword clasped against her chest.

She was going to show Old Demon Duan what it truly meant to face an abyss, the Fire Phoenix Emerging from the Abyss!
