Chapter 85 - 78: Clan Extermination, the So-Called Profound World and Sensing Profound Realm

Kang Square.

This was the place where his brothers would make their living in the future. Xu Guang took it quite seriously. After leaving the City Guard’s Mansion, he brought Li Xiao and the others over.

"Boss, is this Kang Square really our territory from now on?" asked a burly man named Yan Niu.

The military camp led by Li Xiao was called the Bengzi Camp, a notorious Thorn Head Camp within the Feiyun Guard. They weren’t "thorns" because they were exceptionally skilled, but rather because they had poor martial arts aptitude and came from lowly backgrounds. Originally, they were co-managed by Li Zongkang, but after Xu Guang became a Marshal, they were completely assigned under his command.

"That’s right. Kang Square is where we brothers will make our living from now on. Big Bull, you better put some heart into it," Xu Guang said with a smile.

Yan Niu patted his chest. "Don’t worry, Boss."

The reason the Bengzi Camp accepted Xu Guang so quickly wasn’t just because of the strength he displayed; there was another lesser-known reason—his background. Moreover, Xu Guang treated the only Abnormal Person in the Bengzi Camp quite well.

That’s right, Yan Niu was an Abnormal Person. His Bloodline Power was quite impressive. Born with a powerful Physique and two hearts, he possessed nearly double the Essence Blood of an ordinary person, giving him massive potential.

"Alright, Big Bull, come with me. Let’s go familiarize ourselves with the neighborhood," Li Xiao chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Yan Niu rubbed his head with a simple, honest smile. He cupped his fists toward Xu Guang. "Boss, I’ll head over first then."

"Go on."

Xu Guang strolled down the street, an unprecedented ambition gleaming in his eyes. From now on, the tax revenue of this street belonged to him.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping hooves rang out. A man wearing the standard uniform of the Feiyun Guard rode up at breakneck speed. When he was fifteen meters away from Xu Guang, he vaulted off his horse and dropped to one knee.

"I am Wang Zhan, Centurion of the Feiyun Guard’s Yu Character Camp. Greetings, Marshal Xu."

He wondered, "Is this one of Nie Yu’s men?"

"Marshal Nie sent me to invite Marshal Xu over. She has important matters to discuss."

Hearing this, Xu Guang didn’t bother asking what it was about. He simply had someone bring his horse and headed toward Da Yun Square, where Nie Yu was located.

A moment later.

Xu Guang met with Nie Yu. The woman’s burly stature made her naturally unapproachable.

"Xu Guang, you’re here."

"What happened?"

Nie Yu frowned deeply, looking as if she had encountered a highly thorny issue. She dismissed her subordinates before pulling a secret letter from her clothes and handing it to Xu Guang.

"Lord City Guardian just sent a secret message. Guo Chong’s tracks have been discovered. We are ordered to go and capture him. If we cannot take him alive, we are to execute him on the spot!"

Pausing for a moment, she looked at Xu Guang with an inquiring gaze. "This is an easy errand to earn free merit. We don’t have to risk our lives. Marshal Li is responsible for capturing Shu Jun. If the two of us join forces, we only need to stall Guo Chong. Marshal Li will rush over to back us up once he’s done."

Indeed, within the bounds of Feiyun City, Li Zongkang could be called Invincible at the Refining Viscera Realm.

Xu Guang pursed his lips, his eyes glinting strangely as he asked, "I remember Guo Chong is from the Han family. His Bloodline Power is sonic waves? He can knock people unconscious with a single shout?"

Nie Yu nodded. "That’s right. Guo Chong previously charged into the Military Array of Yu Ping from the Immortal Crane Guard. With a single roar, he brought down dozens of people. His methods are incredibly bizarre, and our subordinates aren’t strong enough to handle it. Therefore, only the two of us will go on this operation."

A sharp light flashed in Xu Guang’s eyes. He had suddenly taken a keen interest in Guo Chong. This man’s Bloodline Power sounded extremely formidable. In his heart, he consciously ignored the order to capture Guo Chong alive.

"By the way, Guo Chong has always been cautious. How did the City Guardian’s side discover his whereabouts?"

Nie Yu lowered her voice even further. "Among the surviving members of the Han family, there is an Inspector of ours."

"Then let’s not delay. Let’s go."

San Yin Square had always been the territory of the Chen family, operated by them for nearly thirty years. Unfortunately, the Chen family had exerted a great deal of effort recently. Although they bet on the right side and reaped rich rewards, their overall power had still suffered significant losses.

Xu Guang never expected that Guo Chong would lead the remnants of the Han family to hide in this place. Based on this sheer audacity alone, Guo Chong truly proved himself to be a remarkable figure.

The place where Guo Chong was hiding was a large, double-courtyard compound. Judging by the dilapidated state of the walls, this place could almost be considered a historical relic.

"Everyone, stand by. Without Marshal Xu’s or my signal, no one is allowed in or out. If the Han family forcefully tries to break through, kill them on sight!"

"Understood!" nearly a hundred Feiyun Guards behind them replied in unison, keeping their voices low.

The moonlight disappeared behind the clouds, plunging the area into darkness. Xu Guang and Nie Yu leaped nimbly into the courtyard, vanishing from sight. They exchanged a glance, then walked toward the backyard in perfect, unspoken coordination.

According to their intelligence, the Han family members were hiding in the front courtyard’s cellar, while Guo Chong guarded the backyard alone. Following their prearranged plan, Nie Yu took the lead, and Xu Guang kept watch from behind.

The compound seemed to be inhabited year-round. There was a small garden in the backyard that was remarkably well-maintained. Even though it was late autumn and nearing winter, the plants still grew incredibly lush and vibrant.

"There really is a traitor?!"

Xu Guang suddenly heard a low shout. The voice carried a strange, demonic power that irresistibly stirred up a sense of irritability, immediately followed by an overwhelming wave of nausea. Even his heartbeat was slightly affected, and the circulation of his Qi and blood became a bit sluggish.

He wondered, "Is that Guo Chong!?"

Immediately after came the sharp clash of Weapons. Nie Yu was already fighting Guo Chong!

[Guo Chong (Human), Combat Power: Elite Level Refining Viscera Realm]

"Take this!"

"And this!"

The courtyard was filled with Guo Chong’s bizarre, duck-like shrieks. His voice contained an eerie sonic wave that actually caused Nie Yu to sway unsteadily on her feet.
