The morning has arrived, but the sun has not risen.

  The sky was filled with rolling thunder, leaden clouds billowed, and the entire world was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere. Countless lightning snakes danced at the edge of the sky, emitting dazzling light, and torrential rains poured down from time to time.

  Xinjing City is the most prosperous place in the Yunxin Empire, and also the liveliest place under heaven. It has never lacked topics that make people talk with relish. But on this day, a piece of news thoroughly shocked everyone in Xinjing City, and all the topics turned to the shocking and appalling case that happened last night.

  "The Tianwang Mansion was exterminated in one night, with all 4,903 people in the mansion slaughtered, corpses littering the fields, and fresh blood dyeing the entire Xuanwu Avenue red."

  "This morning, Empress Guo flew into a rage and had the Nine Gate Commanders and the Commander of the Imperial Guard dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded."

  "The Guo family is completely finished, a legendary family has been destroyed."

  "It can't be said like that. I heard that Guo Ershao's body was not found, and it is very possible that he is still alive."

  "A useless good-for-nothing like you is still alive, what's the point of even hoping for revenge."

  "Although Guo Ershao is useless, as long as he goes to bring his brother back, any enemy will be nothing but a mere dish. The Guo family won't fall so easily."

  "Right! Guo Yi's brother, Guo Shaoxiao, could single-handedly slay nine gods ten years ago. Now that he has been searching for the path to immortality for ten years and hasn't returned to the Yunxin Empire, he must be even more formidable."

  ……………………

  On the muddy main road, Guo Ye walked alone, constantly recalling the scene of his loved ones falling in a pool of blood last night.

  Yesterday he was still the happiest person in the whole world. From a wealthy family, young and rich, handsome and charming, most importantly, the girl he liked was his fiancée.

  Just one night, everything changed, nothing was left.

  Unconsciously, he arrived at Wuyun Bridge, with the roaring river sound in his ears. This was Yunxin River shouting, and he seemed to hear the people of Tailing Sect rushing over again.

  Standing on the bridge, gazing out at the southern sky with its rolling dark clouds, he decided to leave Yunxin Empire and go find his older brother.

  Guo Yao's older brother is called Guo Shao Yan!

  If Guo's family is a legend, then Guo Shao Yang is a myth.

  Ten years ago, the Yunmeng Empire and the Yunhai Empire mobilized 270 million troops in twenty-seven routes to attack the Yunxin Empire. In just three years, they reached the gates of Xijing City. At that time, there were nine masters at the Immortal Realm level and over a hundred Martial Saints between the two countries. All the men of the Guo family except for Guo Yao died in battle, including the Emperor of the Yunxin Empire who was killed by the old immortal Yunmeng.

  Just as the Cloud Xin Empire was about to perish, Guo Shaoyan returned from the Great World. One person single-handedly challenged the nine great gods, and the battle ended in just a short time, with all nine great gods being killed. Even the commander-in-chief of the Yun Meng Empire was frightened to death, and from then on, the soldiers of both countries did not dare to set foot in the Cloud Xin Empire again.

  At that time, Guo Shaoyang was only eighteen years old. After that battle, Guo Shaoyang left the Yunxin Empire again and went to the 'Guxuanyu' Great World to find that mysterious cultivation path, never to return.

  Kuang Yue's maniacal laughter: "Haha... Yunxin River, Wuyun Bridge. Old scoundrel, old blind fool, you were right, corpses scattered all over the ground, entire families slaughtered. One day I will make Tai Ling Sect pay in blood, not a single chicken or dog will be left alive."

  A worried voice sounded in Guo Yi's ear, "Young master, young master, the dead cannot be brought back to life, you mustn't think of anything rash!"

  Guo Lu, due to his crippled hands and clumsy body, lost his balance in the rainwater, and with a loud crash, he collided with Guo Yao who was standing at the edge of the bridge, sending him tumbling into the surging Yunxin River.

  "My god, I didn't die at the hands of Tai Ling Lao Zu, but instead died at the hands of a dog slave like you, it's unjust!"

  Kwok Yat's voice grew fainter and fainter until it was completely drowned out by the sound of the river.

  Below is a turbulent river with dense reefs and rapid currents, even a thousand-pound boulder will be washed away into mud and sand, let alone a person.

  Kuo Lu cried with a broken heart, crawled out of the muddy water, and shouted loudly under the bridge: "Young master, I didn't do it on purpose, you must forgive me..."

  Kuo Lu lay on the bridge railing, wailing: "Really can't blame me, it's all because of these slippery shoes..."

  All he heard was a "thud" sound from under the bridge, but it didn't seem like someone had fallen into the water, rather it sounded like something had hit a wooden board. Just as Guo Lu thought he was hallucinating, another cry came from below: "Old man, my leg! You've broken it, and you've also smashed my White Cloud Sail!"

  "It seems that not only are my hands crippled, but also these ears, and I've even killed the young master. What's the point of this cripple living in this world?" Guo Lu thought for a moment, then jumped down from here as well.

  Bang!

  Another mournful cry came from under the Wuyun Bridge: "The old man's back was broken, I didn't expect that after all my calculations, I would end up breaking my back with you, this little rascal... Ah..."

  ……………………

  Sunlight, which was once the cheapest thing in the world, now seems so warm, as if it had never been warm before.

  Heavy rain fell for three days, the sun rose, and the clouds were vast. A rainbow stretched across the Cloud River. On the river, a small boat floated like a fine arrow, drifting downstream, as if a dragon was emerging from the sea. On the small boat stood a tattered white cloud sail, which was also the boat's sail, with the words "A thousand calculations, one mistake" written on it.

  A person sits at the bow of the boat, with blood-red long hair on his head, fluttering in the wind. He looks so lonely, as lonely as a stone, a cold stone.

  "Master, you're not thinking of doing something rash again, are you?" Guo Lu walked out from under the ship's awning with a smile.

  "Damn it, luckily I'm still alive, otherwise I would have died young and don't know how sad Su'e would be?"

  Guo Yewang swung his palm and slapped it over, but was dodged by Guo Lu.

  Guo Lu smiled and said: "It seems that Su E is only fond of the number one master of the younger generation, and has no good feelings towards Young Master at all."

  "When I return from this trip, I will be the number one master of the young generation."

  Kwok Yat's long red hair hung vertically down, and when he turned around, his eyes were also blood-red. Under the sunlight, his entire person seemed especially eerie.

  Guo Yi also didn't know why his hair turned red overnight, and even his eyes became bloodshot. Moreover, the injuries on his body had healed completely, as if nothing had happened to him at all.

  Could it be this nameless small sword? Last night, Guo Yi was struck by Zhu Mu Yun's move and this small sword blocked more than half of the force. Otherwise, Guo Yi would have been dead by now.

  This little sword seems to have come to life.

  Guo Yi carefully examined the small sword that Guo Lao Tai Jun had given him, but he didn't find anything unusual about it.

  Kuo Lu listened to Kuo I's words and asked in confusion: "Where are we going?"

  "We must leave Yunzhou Small World and go to the Ancient Xuan Domain Great World to bring back Big Brother. As long as Big Brother returns, it will be the time for Tai Ling Sect's downfall!" Guo Yi's eyes were exceptionally cold.

  "Yunzhou" small world, there are three major empires: Yunxin Empire, Yunmeng Empire, and Yunhai Empire. Each empire has a population of over 10 billion. In addition to the three major empires, there are countless kingdoms, but most of them are vassals of the three major empires.

  The Guo family is the largest family in the Yunxin Empire.

  "The Ancient Mysterious Domain" is a vast and boundless world, with countless small worlds attached to its edges. Yunzhou is just one of the billions of small worlds.

  Guo Yi's elder brother was in the ancient Xuan domain, cultivating the immortal Tao.

  If Guo Yiruo could bring back his big brother, let alone a single Tai Ling Sect, even the entire Yunxin Empire's three major sects combined would be completely annihilated.

  "Alright, this is more like it, this is what a man should be?" The old blind man crawled out from under the boat cover, his legs broken by Guo Yao and his back broken by Guo Lu. Fortunately, he was still alive.

  "Don't mention going to Gu Xuan Domain for now, first pay the boat fare that's owed for three days. And then there's the medical fee..." The old blind man went on and on, adding up all sorts of fees such as spiritual loss fee, psychological trauma fee, all charged to Guo Yao's account.

  Guo Yi knew that the other party was a superior person, otherwise he would not have calculated his own fate in advance. In fact, the other party had already given him an opportunity. If Guo Yi had really given him 100,000 taels of gold at that time, maybe so many things wouldn't have happened.

  Ten taels of gold is indeed too light for a family's safety.

  "Old immortal, you are a superior being, please tell me, can grandma really resist the toxic corrosion of black phosphorus for three years?"

  Although Zhuo Mu Yun had said so before, Guo Yi still wanted to confirm it.

  "Pfft... pfft... what nonsense is this? A mere 9th-grade Black Phosphorus Poison, to think it can kill a Spirit in the 9th Palace Realm, at least three years would be needed."

  "Of course, Old Lady Guo's cultivation can only suppress the toxicity for three years and cannot eliminate the black phosphorus bone poison. To detoxify, one must find a living Stone Spirit Flower, as only its stamens can eliminate the black phosphorus bone poison." said the old blind man.

  Shi Ling Hua, Guo Yi firmly remembered this name.

  "Only three years' time."

  Kuo Lu said comfortingly: "After I rescued Young Master, I secretly returned and saw from afar that the Tai Ling Sect's group had left."

  First go to Gu Xuan Domain, within three years I will definitely return to overthrow the Tai Ling Sect and rescue Nai Nai... perhaps that will also be the time to welcome Su E as my bride.

  "Will she be heartbroken if the Guo family is exterminated?"

  Guo Yi thought of Su E again, and it would be three years before he could see this woman who had captivated his heart once more.

  Su E's eyes were higher than the top, what would be the scene when she saw Guo Yi again? Would she still look down on this spoiled unmarried husband?

  Lao Mangzi and Guo Ye were neither relatives nor friends, so Guo Ye didn't want to ask for help from such a stranger. Therefore, he planned to spend three years searching for his brother Guo Shao in the ancient Xuan domain's vast world.
