Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 455: Chapter 429: Since we’re all going to die anyway, let’s cut the crap!

When Luo Jingsong arrived in front of the Inner Ceremony Gate, he trembled violently upon seeing Gu Yunjian standing on the roof.

“Gu Yunjian!”

He exclaimed in shock.

Following the sound, Gu Yunjian looked over and saw him too, his eyes filled with mockery.

Feeling his gaze, Luo Jingsong shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Gu Yunjian’s purpose for being here, Luo Jingsong could guess without even thinking.

Other than to kill him, there was no other reason for Gu Yunjian to appear here.

With this thought, Luo Jingsong’s heart suddenly hung in suspense.

However, Gu Yunjian did not attack him; instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferently toward the depths of the Marquis Mansion.

At this moment, the Marquis Mansion was brightly lit, and all the candles had been lit. The Yang family members and the servants had all been awoken by the sudden shouting and noise.

Torches were lit one after another, overshadowing the New Moon and stars in the night sky.

Yang Zhenshan pushed open the door, leapt, and arrived on the rooftop inside the Inner Ceremony Gate.

The backyard of the General Mansion was not just a simple backyard but a large mansion.

The main entrance of the General Mansion faced north, directly opposite to the North City Gate of Chongshan Pass, and the mansion’s gate opened to the south.

Entering the gate was the foreyard’s Ceremony Gate, then the front yard of the mansion, passing the main hall of the front yard came the Inner Ceremony Gate, inside was the hall of the main courtyard, and behind the hall was Yang Zhenshan’s bedroom.

Standing on the roof of the hall, about a dozen yards from the Inner Ceremony Gate, Yang Zhenshan spotted Gu Yunjian instantly.

An unkempt old geezer!

“Gu Yunjian!”

He had also heard Luo Jingsong’s exclamation.

“Reporting to Marquis, Gu Yunjian is the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall in the Star Moon Sect, known as the foremost person below the Innate Realm in the East South Sea Domain!” Li Chengguo, not knowing when, had come to the entrance of the hall, and upon hearing Yang Zhenshan’s question from above, he replied.

Li Chengguo was just as startled as Luo Jingsong when he saw Gu Yunjian, but unlike Luo Jingsong, he didn’t exclaim out loud, so no one paid attention to him.

“Star Moon Sect!” Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly.

Since he dared to give refuge to Luo Jingsong and others, he naturally foresaw that the Star Moon Sect might come knocking.

“Your lordship has seen~~”

Gu Yunjian, seeing that the master had arrived, was about to observe the customary civilities before resorting to violence, beginning to salute with a lazy fist, intending to have a word with Yang Zhenshan.

Although Gu Yunjian had infiltrated the Marquis Mansion at night, he didn’t want to do anything to Yang Zhenshan; he just wanted Yang Zhenshan to hand over Luo Jingsong and the others.

Regrettably, Yang Zhenshan had no intention of wasting words on him.

“No need to say more, now that you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving!”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Zhenshan’s figure leaped up violently, and his aura erupted suddenly.

The thick intent to kill mixed with horrifying might enveloped everyone like rolling dark clouds.

The rumble of thunder, a faint blue flash disappearing under Yang Zhenshan’s feet in an instant.

The next moment, Yang Zhenshan launched himself toward Gu Yunjian like a thunderbolt.

Gu Yunjian’s expression changed, his slightly hunched figure suddenly spun, thrusting his sword to meet the attack.

The sword’s edge was sharp, and under the illumination of the surrounding firelight, it seemed to be steeped in crimson red.

Yang Zhenshan watched as the sword edge thrust towards him, his eyes without a ripple, not showing any intention to block.

His Short Spear pierced straight into Gu Yunjian’s chest, and the also sharp sword edge landed on his chest.

In his rush to come out, he didn’t carry his Mystical Iron Spear, but he had many Short Spears stored in his space.

His way of fighting without dodging, as if aiming for mutual destruction, filled Gu Yunjian with horror.

I’m too late to block your spear, but why don’t you block my sword?

Gu Yunjian was confused!

But he quickly understood.

Just as the sword edge was about to land on his chest, a faint blue glow lit up, and the sharp sword edge deviated without warning, as if an invisible force had deflected the blade.

Undoubtedly, that invisible force was the Innate True Qi.

Turning Qi into weapons, Qi Armor, are both applications of Innate True Qi.

Innate True Qi is a form of energy that can change shape and convert between solid and void according to will.

No need to go into detail about changing shape; whether round or flat depends entirely on a single thought.

The conversion between solid and void isn’t actually mysterious, similar to the transition between mist, water, and ice. When Innate True Qi is rarefied, it’s just a mass of gas, but when Innate True Qi is condensed enough, it becomes as tangible as reality, capable of forming weapons and armor.

Using Innate True Qi is not considered a secret art; the Yimu Changchun Skill contains many methods for using Innate True Qi.

Yang Zhenshan has been studying it a lot these days.

He still couldn’t form Qi Armor because his Innate True Qi wasn’t profound enough.

But generating a wave of Innate True Qi to deflect Gu Yunjian’s sword edge was still easy for him.

Yang Zhanshan deflected Gu Yunjian’s sword edge, but Gu Yunjian failed to block Yang Zhenshan’s spear light.

The spear tip, glinting with cold light, pierced into Gu Yunjian’s chest, his face filled with horror as he lowered his head, watching the blood seep out along the spear tip.

“Innate True Qi!”

Yang Zhenshan’s expression remained indifferent, but he was also immensely surprised.

Because he discovered that this unkempt elderly man before him was also an Innate Martial Artist.

Indeed, Gu Yunjian was an Innate Martial Artist.

However, Gu Yunjian’s Innate True Qi was much thinner than his.

That faint Innate True Qi in front of Yang Zhenshan was like the difference between a bowl of water and a bucket of water.

What are the standards for measuring the strength of Innate Martial Artists?

Quantity, quality, characteristics, application techniques, and understanding of the Innate Realm.

Quantity is the amount of Innate True Qi, and it’s the most important standard for measuring the strength of those who’ve just entered the Innate Realm.
