Peerless War God

The Thousand Corpse Evil Elder smiled sinisterly. “Alright, but I have to say this first. His corpse will belong to me, and the treasures on his body will belong to you. How about it?”    

“That’s fine.”    

“Let’s go.”    

Immediately, two shocking auras that carried the might to destroy the heavens and the earth pounced toward the city walls of the Heavenly River City.    

In the sky above the city, Gu Changsheng’s face was filled with hatred, and a monstrous killing intent surged within his chest.    

“Damn it, the grand formation is still broken. It was even faster than I expected. I don’t care anymore. Let’s meet the enemy first. This battle is either you die or I die.”    

Facing the Thousand Corpse Evil Elder and the black-clothed Protector who were surging over, Gu Changsheng did not cower.    

Instead, he took the initiative to meet them head on. Holding the treasured sword in his hand, he flew straight over.    

Even if two Immortal Realm experts came, he was not afraid. Even if he lost and was defeated, he would still have to make the other party pay the price today. If it was a one-for-one exchange, he would not lose out. His killing intent surged within his heart, becoming increasingly fierce.    

Half a day ago, in the Gu Clan’s treasury.    

Gu Chengquan had obtained Gu Changsheng’s Patriarch’s Command. According to his instructions, he had come to open up the clan treasury and distribute the medicinal pills and artifacts within to strengthen the combat strength of the cultivators in the city so that they could assist in defending the Heavenly River City.    

Gu Chengquan was beaming with joy as he strode forward. Behind him were three Gu Clan’s deacon elders.    

Naturally, these three people were not randomly chosen. They were chosen by Gu Chengquan, and they were loyal to him. Those who were close to him were all trusted confidants.    

The Heavenly River City was in imminent danger, but to Gu Chengquan, this was an opportunity.    

“Big Brother Chengquan, are we really going to follow the Patriarch’s words and open the treasury and distribute the treasures inside? Wouldn’t that be too wasteful?”    

As he walked, a deacon elder spoke up, his eyes filled with greed.    

“Yeah, these are precious treasures that can’t be found anywhere else. Wouldn’t it be a pity to give them away just like that?”    

Another deacon elder chimed in.    

Gu Chengquan rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile, “I know what you guys are thinking. Isn’t it just jealousy? Heh, I know that you guys have been thinking about taking the treasury for yourselves since a long time ago, but the Patriarch is suppressing it, so you don’t dare to act recklessly. Now, you want to fish in troubled waters?”    

“Big Brother Chengquan, don’t you want to?”    

“Yeah, yeah, we’ll miss this opportunity. If the city is destroyed and the clan is annihilated, then the treasures in the entire treasury will be given away to outsiders. Why don’t we let us take it first? We’re all family, after all.”    

“Right, right, right. Let’s take it first. In any case, the Patriarch doesn’t need these treasures anyway. Hehe.”    

The three deacon elders were obsessed with money and avarice. At this critical juncture, they were still thinking about taking as much as they could.    

Gu Chengquan saw this and sighed in his heart. How could the Gu Clan not be defeated when it had fallen to such a state?    

Even without the siege of the Black Sky Divine Sect, they would not be able to hold on for too long. If they did not take care of the pustules on their bodies, they would only grow bigger and bigger.    

This was a principle that everyone understood.    

For a time, the hearts of these people were filled with pessimism, and they began to have their own little schemes.    

Thinking of this, Gu Chengquan heavily sighed and said, “This is also our clan head's fault. If he was willing to let go and release so many cultivation pills and treasures earlier, perhaps our clan's strength would have been able to rise to a higher level, and we would not have ended up in our current situation.”    

Gu Chengquan's words were putting the blame on Gu Changsheng, but it was also to make up for himself.    

Actually, what he said was also a bit reasonable. The hearts of people were all greedy, and they were not content. Even Gu Changsheng was no exception.    

There were countless pills and treasures in the vast treasury of the clan, but they could only lie there, sealed, and even slowly rot away.    

It wouldn't be too much of a problem to blame everything on Gu Changsheng.    

“Right, right, right. Big Brother Chengquan's words are extremely correct, it is all the fault of the clan head.”    

“That's right. The clan head is stingy, accumulating so many pills and treasures, all gone to waste. If we knew that this day would come, we should have released them earlier. It's too late now.”    

“It's all the clan head's fault. It's still Big Brother Chengquan's wisdom that is superior.”    

The three deacon elders echoed, praising Gu Chengquan, making him feel extremely complacent.    

As they spoke, the group of four arrived before the family’s treasury.    

“Stop right there! This is the family’s important place. Without the family’s Patriarch’s Token, you are not allowed to approach. Second Patriarch, please return.”    

A few Tribulation Transcender cultivators that were guarding the family’s treasury stopped Gu Chengquan’s path and spoke coldly.    

“Take a look at what this is!”    

Gu Chengquan had a complacent expression as he took out the family’s Patriarch’s Token that Gu Changsheng had given him earlier and raised it in midair.    

When the crowd of guarding Tribulation Transcenders saw this, they hurriedly bent down and said, “Greetings, Patriarch.”    

“It’s actually the Patriarch’s Token! I never imagined that the Patriarch would actually hand this token over to Gu Chengquan. Why is this so? This shouldn’t be the case, so what exactly is the Patriarch thinking?”    

“Could it be that this token is fake? Or could it be that Gu Chengquan stole it?”    

The guarding Tribulation Transcenders had disbelief written all over their faces, and they even had looks of disgust on their faces. A trace of doubt arose in their hearts.    

Gu Chengquan’s expression turned cold when he saw this, and he cursed. “Fake? Hmph! A few blind fools! If you don’t believe me, you can go and find the Patriarch yourself to verify it.”    

“This…”    

“How could we dare? Second Patriarch, you must be joking! We were just casually saying it.”    

“Exactly! Second Patriarch, please calm down. We will open the family’s treasury right now.”    

When the guarding Tribulation Transcenders saw Gu Chengquan’s unyielding attitude, they immediately became cold and didn’t give him any leeway at all, and they immediately softened and weren’t willing to go head-on with him.    

Even though they were slightly unconvinced in their hearts, the facts were as such. They’d already confirmed that the token in Gu Chengquan’s hand was real and not fake.    

Since it was true, they didn’t dare to confirm it with Gu Changsheng again. Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?    

Gu Chengquan coldly snorted. “That’s more like it. Immediately open the treasury. The Patriarch has ordered that all the medicinal pills and magic treasures in the treasury will be distributed out to strengthen the strength of the cultivators in the city and assist in the defense of the city.”    

Hearing this, the several Guardian Tribulation Transcenders looked at each other and replied in unison, “Yes.”    

Since Gu Chengquan had even taken out the Patriarch’s token, it was confirmed to be true, so they naturally didn’t dare to stop him.    

Immediately, the several Guardian Tribulation Transcenders turned around and used their methods to slowly open the door to the family treasury, allowing Gu Chengquan and the others to see what was inside.    

With a series of rumbling sounds, the heavy door of the treasury slowly opened.    

Gu Chengquan’s eyes shone brightly, and his mouth was parched. The scene that he had dreamed of was finally happening today.    

His figure moved, and he fiercely charged in like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.    

“Let’s go.”    

Behind him, the three deacon Tribulation Transcenders weren’t willing to be outdone. They took the lead and rushed in, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to pick up anything if they lagged behind.    

The several Guardian Tribulation Transcenders saw Gu Chengquan and the others’ extremely hungry and greedy behavior, and they revealed a difficult expression as they looked at each other.    

“Sigh, I never thought that my Gu Clan would fall to such a state after all these years of glory.”    

“Don’t think blindly. Since it’s the Patriarch’s intention, we will obey.”    

“That’s all we can do.”
