To return to Tianwang Fu, one must pass through Xuanwu Avenue. However, this place, which was once the most prosperous area in Yunxin Empire, is now deserted due to the heavy snow.

  A white gold sedan chair carried by eight people was swaying back and forth as it passed through the center of a hundred-meter-long street.

  "What injustice! What a strange injustice..."

  A man suddenly rushed out from the side of the street and blocked the sedan chair, wailing in a pitiful manner.

  Guo Ershao was pondering in the sedan chair how to scheme against the first-rate young master he had yet to meet, when suddenly something strange happened. He had heard of this kind of play where someone blocks the sedan and cries injustice, but even if it were real life, why would it be his turn, as the number one spendthrift of Xinjing City?

  This man did not go to the Tianxin government office to report his grievances, nor did he intercept other honest officials' sedan chairs to shout for justice. Instead, he came to intercept his own sedan chair, which must be suspicious.

  "Halt!"

  Kuang Ye pushed open the curtain of his sedan chair and stepped out, only to see an old blind man. The old man wore a green silk Taoist crown on his head, held the Heavenly Mechanism Finger with his left hand, and grasped a three-foot white cloud fan with his right hand. On the fan were written four large characters: "A single leak in a thousand calculations".

  Kuo Yi sighed in his heart, this bodyguard was indeed professional.

  "What injustice! What great injustice!"

  When Guo Yan came out of the sedan chair, the blind fortune teller shouted loudly again.

  Kuo Lu roared: "Where did this unruly commoner come from? Doesn't he know that this is the sedan chair of Young Master Kuo, the second son of the Heavenly King's mansion? He doesn't know his own life, beat him for me!" The dozens of Kuo family guards who were following along were about to step forward and beat the man.

  Guo Yi sternly rebuked, "What are you hitting? The Tianwang Fu is a righteous and benevolent household, how can we bully ordinary people like this? Lu Zi, from now on, do not disobey. Old man, if you have any grievances, speak up and I, Guo Yi, will take charge."

  Guo Yi still remembered Su E's extremely poor impression of him, so in order to capture the beauty's heart, Guo Yi could only pretend to be a noble gentleman.

  "The old man is pleading injustice for you, young master." The fortune-telling blind old man's first sentence was astonishing.

  Kuo Yeh was taken aback, and then burst out laughing: "This young master is fine, where does the injustice come from?"

  "Injustice will be redressed at once."

  Kuo Lu laughed loudly and joked: "Blind man, do you also know what will happen next?"

  The fortune-telling old blind man was serious and pointed at the big characters on the white sail, saying: "A thousand calculations, one leak."

  Now Guo Ye also understood what was going on, this old guy had no grievances at all, he was simply a swindler who cheated people out of their money. At this time, he felt like playing along and jokingly said: "Tell me, what grievances will I have in a moment?"

  "Corpses lie scattered all over the fields, and entire families are slaughtered."

  "Haha!"

  This time, not only did Guo Yi laugh, but also Guo Lu and the sedan chair bearers who accompanied him laughed.

  "Even a blind man can see that, and dogs have two eyes too. Don't you know that our young master is the second son of the Guo family from Tianwang Fu?"

  "This old scoundrel actually dared to curse that our young master's family was exterminated, and what's more, haha, there's also 'the whole family is slaughtered', it's really laughable."

  "Someone come and drag this old fellow away and beat him to death on the side of the road."

  A rod of guardian grinding fist was about to pounce on the old blind man.

  "But he's just a blind man, and since I'm in a good mood today, let him go."

  Guo Ye got back into the sedan chair, and the laughter continued without stopping.

  "Wait a bit longer, as they say life is unpredictable, doesn't the young master want to hedge his bets?" The old blind man continued to shout.

  "Hey, watch it! My young master may be kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean I am too. If you don't scram, I'll beat you to death!"

  Guo Ye was called by Lao Mangzi, and suddenly felt uneasy, as if something would really happen today. He stepped out of the sedan chair again and said: "You calculated that I will have a great injustice soon, do you know if there is a solution?"

  "Master, don't listen to his nonsense," said Guo Lu.

  "Just listen to what he has to say."

  The old blind man heard this and hastily said, "There's a solution, there's a solution. Ten taels of gold can resolve the disaster for you alone, young master, but it will take 100,000 taels of gold to eliminate the calamity for your entire family."

  Ten taels of gold were nothing to Guo Yu, so he said: "Lu Zi, give him ten taels of gold and let him solve half of it. If it's reliable, then give him 100,000 taels."

  Only a young master would be so generous, ten taels of gold is enough for an ordinary family to use for a lifetime. Guo Lu glared at the old blind man and threw him a gold ingot.

  The old blind man didn't seem like a blind person, at least no one could match his speed in picking up gold. After wrapping the golden ingot in three layers inside and out and stuffing it into his bosom, he then fumbled behind his buttocks for half a day and took out a stone about the size of an inch, which he carefully handed over to Guo Yao.

  Kuo Yeh took over the stone chip, looking left and right, but obviously there was nothing magical about it. It was clear that this old fellow had just picked it up from some roadside earlier.

  "Is that it?" Guo Yi obviously didn't react in time, this was also too unbelievable! This thing is worth ten taels of gold?

  The old blind man looked embarrassed and said, "Ten taels of gold can only be exchanged for this, to save the young master's life. But if you are willing to give me 100,000 taels of gold, I will ensure that your whole family is safe from harm and disaster."

  Kuo Yeh was also amused by the old scoundrel, and laughed: "If nothing happens tonight, where will we go to settle accounts with you?"

  The old blind man's face turned solemn, his left hand pinched the heavenly mechanism finger repeatedly, then let out a long breath and said profoundly: "Above the Cloud Xin River, below the Wuyun Bridge." With that, he departed in song.

  Guo Yi thought for half a day and asked Xiaolu Zi: "What's on top of Yunxin River?"

  "Wu Yun Bridge!"

  "What's under the Wucheng Bridge again?"

  "Yún Xīn Hé!"

  Guo Ye and Xiao Luzi looked at each other and shouted in unison: "This old cheat!"

  But instead, the street was a vast expanse of white, with not a single person in sight. The old blind man had long since turned into an alleyway, where he was sneezing and muttering to himself, "Who's cursing me?"

  ……………………

  If someone were to ask about the influence of the Tianwangfu Guo family in the Yunxin Empire?

  "This question can be answered by a three-year-old: the Tianwang Fu has 1.9 billion Guo family soldiers, accounting for seven layers of the entire Yunxin Empire's military power. The true ruler of the Yunxin Empire, Empress Dowager Guo, is the fourth daughter of Old Lady Guo of the Tianwang Fu. Just think about how powerful the Tianwang Fu is? It's ten times more powerful than the Emperor."

  Tonight is the 100th birthday of the legendary figure, Mrs. Guo.

  Legend has it that the Yunxin Empire has three immortals, who are the ancestors of the three major sects and are all revered as national teachers. However, few people know that the number one expert in the Yunxin Empire is this old lady Guo, who is on her last legs. She is the most terrifying existence in the immortal realm. As long as she is around, no one can touch the Guo family, not even the Yunmeng Empire or the Yunhai Empire. Immortals have a lifespan of 500 years, and that old lady Guo is only over a hundred years old now, with 400 more years to live.

  Madam Guo's birthday celebration, anyone with some status in the Yunxin Empire wouldn't dare not to attend, it will be a sleepless night.

  But when Guo Yi returned to Tian Wang Fu, he was completely stunned.

  The magnificent buildings of the Heavenly King's palace were reduced to a pile of rubble, with blood-soaked corpses littering the ground. Each body was beyond recognition, making it impossible to discern their original appearance.

  The intense smell of blood made him vomit, Guo Yi's stomach was completely empty, even his saliva was drained, and his eyes were cold, icy and inhuman.

  The Tianwang Fu of today is a charnel house, a purgatory built with corpses.

  "How could this be? Who is it?"

  Kuo Yeh ran wildly among the ruins like a madman, examining each corpse in search of any survivors.

  "Eldest Aunt..." A woman's corpse had her head chopped in half.

  "Sixth Uncle..." A valiant man was cut in two by a sword, and Guo Yi only found his upper body, with no sign of the lower half anywhere.

  ……

  Kwok Yat's hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching wail. His tears had dried up, and drops of fresh blood flowed from his eyes.

  Kuo Lu's family had been servants of the Heavenly King's mansion for generations, and he was Kuo Yeh's personal attendant. From a young age, he played with Kuo Yeh more than his own brothers, and at eighteen years old, two years older than Kuo Yeh, he was still just a big kid.

  Guo Lu was also rolling around in agony at this time, with a similar pain to Guo Ye, hoping to find someone alive to ask about the murderer.

  "The young master didn't find a single survivor, but he couldn't find Grandma's body either."

  Kuo Yi knelt on the ground, looked up at the sky and let out a long, mournful cry. "Who is it?!" he bellowed. "Come out here! Who is it?!"

  The night shadows danced, the candlelight flickered, and the cold wind blew the ancient trees by the street to make a rustling sound. A chilly voice came from the darkness, as if a ghost was strolling out of hell.

  "Still has a pulse."

  A white-clad young master descended from the sky, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, a slender figure, and a three-foot-long white jade sword hanging at his waist, just like an immortal descending to the mortal world. Although it was freezing cold, he only wore a thin shirt, obviously a cultivator of profound martial arts.

  The young man in white clothes looked up and down at Guo Yao, and Guo Yao also put away his sorrow and anger, stood up straight and looked him up and down.

  "You're Guo family's second young master, the number one spendthrift in the world!" The white-clothed young master sneered with a smile.

  In the night sky, a black specter floated ghostly in mid-air before gently settling on the treetop. A one-meter-long white beard danced in the wind like a white waterfall. The moonlight was dappled, and the human figure was faint, as if an immortal had descended into the world. This old man was the Old Ancestor of the Taishan Sect, one of the three major sects of the Yunxin Empire, a four-hundred-year-old living god.

  Tai Ling Lao Zu said, "Mu Yun, the entire Tian Wang Fu has been searched thoroughly and we still can't find the 'Burial of Heaven Spirit Technique'. Guo Old Lady loves Guo Er Shao most dearly, it's highly likely that she has already taught him this cultivation scripture."

  "The Burial of Heaven's Spirit" is an ancient cultivation scripture passed down through the Guo family, but Guo Yao has never been interested in cultivating and has never even seen what "The Burial of Heaven's Spirit" looks like. It wasn't until he heard these two people talking that he realized they had come to steal the cultivation scripture.

  Guo Yi's body didn't have any special skills, only a toy iron sword given to him by Old Lady Guo. This iron sword was only as big as a palm and couldn't even kill a person.

  "What kind of people are you? What have you done to my grandmother?"

  That white-clothed young master smiled and said, "Your grandmother was poisoned by the black phosphorus bone toxin I personally concocted. Unfortunately, her cultivation is too high, not even the bone toxin can kill her, it only sealed off her cultivation. She has been imprisoned at the top of Tai Ling Mountain, where she will undergo three years of corrosive bone pain before dying in agony."

  Kuo Yeh's eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, his teeth clenched in anger: "So you're people from the Tai Ling Sect."

  The young man in white knew he had misspoken and immediately fell silent, ready to take action and capture Guo Yao.

  "Let me pass first before you can get to our young master."

  No one had expected that Guo Yi's follower would be so strong, having already attained the cultivation of a Martial Saint. However, it was also within reason; with how much Old Lady Guo doted on Guo Yi, it was impossible for her not to have arranged even a single guard by his side.

  Kuo Lu's body was as sturdy as a mountain, and with one punch, he sent the white-clothed young master flying, spitting blood. He laughed and said: "I know who you are - you're that so-called genius, Zhuo Mu Yun, the Young Master of the Ta Ling Sect. I can defeat even you, and yet you claim to be the number one expert of the younger generation? You'd be better off being called a mere chicken or dog."

  "Hum! How dare you."

  Tai Ling Lao Zu's body flashed with spiritual light, and with a wave of his hand, a huge palm print flew out, instantly shattering Guo Lu's two hands, his meridians turned into bloody mud, and both arms hung straight down.

  This is the power of a deity, even the Martial Saint can't withstand a single move from him.

  Guo Yi's martial arts cultivation was still far from the realm of a martial master, let alone the realm of a grandmaster or a martial saint. He was severely injured by Zhu Mu Yun's single move, but just as Zhu Mu Yun was about to approach him again to capture him, a brilliant light burst out from Guo Yi's chest, and a small stone flew out from his clothes.

  "Godslayer Stone!"

  Tai Ling Lao Zu was greatly shocked, the power of the Extinction Stone was extremely terrifying, and it would explode and open up a radius of ten miles, all of which would be reduced to ruins. Even if one were an immortal, they would still die on the spot.

  Tai Ling Lao Zu took up Zhuo Mu Yun's life and fled, who still had the energy to care about Guo Yi.

  Guo Lu's arms were broken, but he still had the cultivation of a martial saint. He bit down on the sleeve of Guo Yao's clothes with his teeth and carried him on his back as they fled for their lives.

  The God-destroying Stone did not explode, but directly turned into powder and fell to the ground. In the night sky, Tai Ling Lao Zu's angry voice echoed: "Which son of a bitch actually refined the Spirit Light Stone to be exactly the same as the God-destroying Stone?"

  At this time, Guo Lu had already escaped with Guo Yi to an unknown place.
