Chapter 763 409: The Demon Extermination Alliance Is Here—Old Demon, What Do You Have to Fight Me With!
At this moment, the clattering sound reappeared as Gu Dile and the Seventeen Arhats' hair whips began to spin once more.
"Eight thousand disciples of the Gu Family, listen to my command!"
"Kill Old Demon Duan, destroy Wangchun City, save the mistress!"
"Let Wangchun City be buried alongside for the humiliation my wife has suffered! Ying Ying, I am willing to destroy everything for you!"
Hearing the Young Master's words, the Gu Family disciples shouted in unison: "Kill Old Demon Duan, destroy Wangchun City, save the mistress!"
"Kill Old Demon Duan, destroy Wangchun City, save the mistress!"
"Kill Old Demon Duan, destroy Wangchun City, save the mistress!"
....
Clickety-clack!
Amidst the loud cries of the Gu Family disciples, Gu Dile and the Seventeen Arhats' twin tails spun rapidly, forming a whirlwind, soaring into the sky, heading towards Wangchun City!
"Invincible!"
"Invincible!"
"Invincible!"
...
This time, the morale of the entire Gu Family surged.
This was the long-awaited moment of counterattack!
However, there were still calm Gu Family disciples pondering: "Wangchun City is our property. It's fine to take it back, why destroy it?"
At that moment, someone beside them answered: "You fool, if Wangchun City is destroyed, won't it need to be rebuilt? If it isn't rebuilt, it means the court is neglectful and doesn't give us face. In that area of Wangchun City, does the court have such guts?
Besides, who dares to take on the reconstruction project other than us? In and out, isn't the court's Silver going into our pockets?"
Upon hearing this, the person beside them revealed a look of sudden realization.
So, it's all about making money.
This is truly the essence of the Mo Sect and the Gu Family behind it.
The person couldn't help but silently lament: "If it's all about making money, just be honest about it. Claiming it's for the wife or love, this Young Master is really hypocritical."
He had worked like an ox and a horse for the Gu Family for over ten years, yet never saw a day of advancement.
Now that he figured it out, he realized he was too honest. Not possessing the art of speech like the Mo Sect naturally kept him from rising.
And the Gu Family disciple who was just killed by the Young Master was his friend, also not good at speaking, resulting in unforeseen disaster.
But the man didn't have time to grieve over this, because the Gu Family had already begun to gather people, responding to the Young Master's orders.
He had no complaints, because at the thought of the Gu Family, under the Young Master's lead, taking down Old Demon Duan to restore their prestige, even achieving greater glory, his chest couldn't help but swell, and he even hummed softly.
Indeed, when even the maggots in the Gu Family's cesspool are stronger than outsiders, what complaints could he have as a servant in the Gu Family?
Charge!
All at once, the members of the old Gu Family estate moved, following the Young Master towards Wangchun City.
Their footsteps were urgent, as if racing towards a glorious tomorrow!
Because what the Young Master meant by destroying Wangchun City was to burn, kill, loot, and...!
There couldn't be a better time than this!
...
The "Eight thousand Gu Family disciples" that Gu Dile spoke of actually weren't "eight thousand"; that was the number of Gu Family disciples a century ago.
Because not just anyone could become a disciple of the Gu Family, whether working outside or washing toilets inside, they had to be adept at whatever they did.
For instance, the toilets in the old Gu Family estate were handled by a Gu Family disciple trained in Water Cloud Hand and Tongue Wheel Skill. It's said that the toilets cleaned by him were immaculate, and a Gu Family disciple would openly scoop a ladle of water from the toilet and drink it.
This is also why the thousands of Gu Family members could enslave hundreds of thousands of people.
It could be said that hundreds of thousands were the money-making machines of the Gu Family.
And Wangchun City, being one of the most prosperous cities owned by the Gu Family, if it changed hands, it could be said that it touched the Gu Family's lifeline.
This battle was inevitable!
The Gu Family disciples may not number eight thousand, but the Jianghu people related to the Gu Family's business certainly exceeded eighty thousand. Thus, the news of the Gu Family Young Master's mastery of Divine Skill, intent on killing Old Demon Duan and rescuing the Young Master's wife Lei Ying, who had been tormented by the Old Demon, spread rapidly.
This became yet another major event in the Martial World.
The Bloodthirsty Storyteller suddenly became more excited than the disciples of the Mo Sect.
One must know, even after Lei Ying was forced to her knees and humiliated by Old Demon Duan, they resorted to various methods to slander Old Demon Duan and Wangchun City, but the results couldn't lie, and they were always fighting an uphill battle.
They hated fighting uphill battles!
Now the situation had changed!
That the Gu Family Young Master could openly settle accounts with Old Demon Duan naturally meant he had a full mastery of Divine Skill and complete confidence.
Someone couldn't help but doubt: "Wasn't the Young Master's wife Lei Ying also very flamboyant before, and now who knows how many times she's been toyed with by Old Demon Duan."
"Nonsense! The Young Master Gu Dile was born a Demon Child, managing the Gu Family for many years, with extraordinary insight. How could a careless wife compare to him? At the end of the day, it's still a man's Martial World."
"Nonsense, you! Believe it or not, I'll cut out your tongue and report you for molestation,"
a woman with squinty eyes wielding a sword sternly rebuked.
Then a woman wearing brass knuckles stood up to support: "Do you know how to tell a story? We women have long awakened. If you dare speak nonsense, can you withstand my punch with ten years of power?"
The storyteller couldn't help but defend: "I was just giving an analogy."
"To hell with your analogy, this Martial World grants you half the sky. It was we women being humble, and here you are drawing analogies. Men are truly disgusting and shameless."
"How can you curse all men."
"So what if I curse them? What's so great about men?"
"I'm from the Black Spring Sect, are you sure you want to curse me?"
"Ah, so you're a good brother from the Black Spring Sect, my apologies. I was cursing only ordinary men, you're entirely different. You're the manliest men, the ones we admire the most, especially your Hei brothers, simply gods."
The Black Spring Sect was a sect that drifted in from overseas, with the Sect Leader and core elders having pitch-black skin. People likened them to large black monkeys, though some women were exceedingly fond of them.
Later, since the Black Spring Sect specialized in finding and extracting Black Oil, they forged close relationships with many major sects. After taking root here, they recruited some local disciples, who also became formidable.
It's said that in the towns surrounding the Black Spring Sect, half of the people began to look like black monkeys. Some despise this, finding it ominous, while others flock to it eagerly.
"What's so great about the Black Spring Sect? This is Yu State, do you think you're in Hai State?"
"Why, does this brother take offense because this beautiful girl admires me?"
"Beautiful girl, more like a pig-snouted, squinty-eyed hag, only you would fancy her. Besides, looking at you, you're not a purebred big black monkey either."
"My master is pure, purely black! So I'm also black!"
"Who are you calling a hag? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up,"
she immediately switched her tone to speak to the person beside her: "Hei brother, the men in Yu State are just jealous of you and me. Several wanted to court me before, and I didn't care for any of them, just found them disgusting."
"Screw you, ugly hag and fake black monkey, get the hell out!"
"Why should we leave!"
For a moment, the teahouse was in chaos.
The storyteller tried several times to interject, saying Old Demon Duan was bound to die, was not righteous, was worse than a pig or dog, waiting to be slaughtered by the Gu Family Young Master, but he couldn't get a word in at all.
Because these people bickered endlessly, arguing over men and women, beauty and ugliness, and regional prejudices only returning to gender debates later.
In short, the entire Martial World was lively again, from south to north, from west to east.
The roads leading to Wangchun City suddenly filled with people, mostly Jianghu people eager for excitement.
But some Jianghu people were quite different.
In a secret room of a teahouse eighty miles outside Wangchun City, dozens of people, either solemn or filled with righteous indignation, sat together discussing important matters.
Some wore nearly transparent red dresses, some had metal tubes inserted into their heads, some wore knee-high white socks, and others were shrouded completely in black robes, exposing only their eyes.
The women in red dresses were naturally from the Red House, those with metal tubes were Thunder Listeners from the Thunder God and Mother Sect, those in white socks were elite from the White Sock Divine Sect, and those in black robes were top assassins from the Netherworld Mountain Villa.
They gathered for the shared purpose of having suffered persecution from Old Demon Duan.
Thus, they organized together and stood united against a common enemy.
"This time our alliance consists of elites, all with irreconcilable hatred toward Old Demon Duan, leaving us no retreat."
"As an elder of the Red House, I am willing to represent everyone and meet with the Gu Family Young Master, forming the strongest Demon Extermination Alliance to destroy both the Old Demon and the Demon Nest!"
