Gulp! Gu Li Cheng swallowed hard and his brain finally clicked with understanding. 'How did uncle become so young?, how did Lin ju'er suddenly breakthrough to the foundation establishment realm like the young stars of those great clans, despite being at a young age?. They became demon cultivators!, Do they want me to join them as family?... I'm very sure uncle might kill me right now, should I' His eyes dilated and he became visibly pale, He tried thinking of what to do but nothing came up. "What are you thinking? Brother Li Cheng... Father your scaring him!" Gu Linju finally chose to diffuse the situation. Gu Lin Fang's eyes shined with delight, impressed he thought silently  'Good save!' while looking at the girl from the side. He quickly withdrew the pressure and walked down the stairs. Gu Linju then asked Li

Later that day, at exactly 1pm.At an inconspicuous looking rice shop, Gu Yu Xing could be seen walking in. His hair was long and black, nothing like the disheveled mess from before. He is a young man of about 5.8ft with a well toned body of a warrior, perfectly fitted with the signature black Gong Fu robe with a 'Gu' on its upper back. It was almost the same style with what Gu Lin Fang and Gu Lin Ju were wearing but was still different. Due to their bloodline, he had a kind of seductive charm like Gu Lin Fang that made him seem trustworthy. Upon entering the rice shop, the customers quietened down while the staff looked shocked. "BOSS!!" The shopkeeper calls out and the customers went about their business. The shopkeeper was a thick looking young man with bronze colored skin, which made it obvious that he was an external cultivator(Body cultivator) and he was by no means

Meanwhile, as the auction was in motion, some shadowy figures were on their way to what they called the [Underground Qi Routing Control room] beneath the Chang's property. this was the tool for supplying power to the hall. They silently eliminated anyone who saw them, but that didn't mean they happily carried out an indiscriminate mass murder. "…the Qi Routing Control room." a hoarse voice broke the silence as it read out the words on the iron door. They could feel the Qi overflowing from the processed core could be felt from where they stood. Processed cores were artificial power source that was made to hold heaven and earth Qi in order to power the Airships, lit up the nights in certain areas of cities depending on the size.  It was just as vital to human convenience as electricity to modern Earth, the downside was that, one can't use it to cultivate. <

 Upon stepping outside of the Changfeng Merchant gates, Gu Lin Fang glared around before taking a deep breath and smirking. Because he had his back to Yu Xing and Gu Lin Ju, they frowned. Gu Lin Ju was still in Yu Xing's arms as she struggled to say, "Father, I'm fine..." This snapped Gu Lin Fang out of his thoughts as he looked at her with a smile, "I know, I'm just disappointed about losing those perfectly good guards... Now who's going to drive the carriage, good thing you didn't bring your maid". Gu Yu Xing sighs in relief and said,"Lord father, I am in awe of your prowess, even I was almost worried you forgot the plan...but" He paused as he followed after Gu Lin Fang, the latter was walking towards the carriage as he eyed a beggar in the street. The beggar sat there motionless with his face covered but Gu Lin Fang knew who he was. 

A/N: Slight info dump ahead!! Gu Lin Fang's expression didn't change at all, as he stared at the kneeling man before him. He had just explained everything to Gu Ji Hung, starting from his wife's death to the 'awakening' of the Clan's bloodline, up to this very moment. He watched his every action, ready to kill. should Gu Ji Hung criticize him, Gu Lin Fang would have wasted him immediately without letting anyone know. After all, he was presently in need of an exquisite corpse puppet after giving the first one to Li Cheng. But now without any change in expression, Gu Ji Hung pulled out  an odd looking pagoda and spoke solemnly, "When you distracted the Lu clan scum, we managed to repel the Wu's for a few minutes. That was when Fei Huang, along with other guest elders stormed the treasury. They killed everyone they bumped into, making us unable to notice th
